Bianca was home watching Netflix when Amore arrived. He had his usual moody face up his chin causing Bianca to wonder, what she had done this time.
“Hey babe” She greeted awkwardly as she watched him drop his brief case on the table, removing his jacket he had on.
“How well do you know Romeo?” Bianca was taken aback by the quesion. She needed to act smart as this was one of those few moments Amore was very conscious of what she says.
“A friend just like Doris and Thea” She said acting as though she had just explained the nature of the weather.
“Can you lure him over to this house tomorrow?” Carl asked dropping his weight on the chair, his eyes still fixated on her
“Why?”
“I don’t think you will need to know” He said immediately.
“But I cannot just tell Romeo to come over to this house without any proper reasons, he could grow suspicious” Bianca pointed out
“So he doesn’t trust you?” He asked raising his one eye brow up to her.
“No, not that way. It’s just that I don’t know why you want to see him and it wouldn’t be proper bringing him here to suffer” She stated the obvious.
“And who told you that he is going to suffer?”
“You just said few minutes ago, to lure him here. For thr fact that you are using the word ‘lure’ means that something bad will happen to him” Amore rose up from his sofa, stretched himself and yawned a little.
“I have given the instructions dear wife, bring him here….” He was caught short by the sudden call from Brown.
As Amore moved away to pick the call, Bianca followed him up to eavesdrop on his conversation.
“Yes, I have already given her the instructions and this means one thing, once he arrives, we take him out. Although I would love him to bring the Lexicon file before I kill him” Bianca eyes went wide; could it be that Romeo had taken the Lexicon file?
“About Giovanni? That’s another issue for another time but for now, once my wife lures him over to the house tomorrow, we force him to release the file and then finish him off accordingly” Bianca quietly tiptoed out of the balcony up to her room.
Once she was in her room, she hurriedly grabbed her phone and searched for Romeo’s contact and prayed silently that he picked up.
“Romeo! Listen attentively, I need you to stay off school tomorrow. I will explain the reasons to you” She said, hanging up almost immediately.
Although Romeo had a lot of question to answer, she was not willing to betray their friendship regardless of what he had done to her in the past. She would make sure that Amore doesn’t get his hands on Romeo.
********
The following morning, she was escorted off to the school by two separate bodyguard. Amore had instructed the guards to watch over her as she tried to lure Romeo to the house.
When Bianca arrived at school, she prayed silently that Romeo had taken her advice and did not show up. She searched everywhere alongside the bodyguard and there was no sign of Romeo. This meant that he had taken her advice and she was glad.
She took up her phone and called Amore who picked immediately
“He didn’t show up in school today”
“How odd don’t you think? I mean this Romeo guy is usually active in school and today, he doesn’t show up? Is there something I need to know that you aren’t telling me?” Bianca could not help but wonder if Amore was using some sort of power to know if she was lying or not.
“I did what you asked of me, you can speak with your bodyguards, they were with me while I searched for Romeo” She couldn’t explain longer as Amore cut the phone on her.
Bianca was worried; the fact that Amore didn’t believe her was something she needed to worry about. Amore was a sadistic human who could get anything he want at all cost.
She wasn’t in the mood to attend class and so decided to retire home. She didn’t care what Amore would bring to the table, but one thing was certain, she was not going to let him know the whereabout of Romeo.
When she arrived home, she was hoping to see an angry Amore waiting for her but was surprised to see he wasn’t home. She was glad as she didn’t have to face his wrath any longer and headed up to her room. Once she closed her door, she hurriedly took up her phone and dialed Romeo’s line, hoping he would pick
“Bianca, can you please fill me up on what is going on?” Romeo asked.
“Did you or did you not take the Lexicon file?” Bianca didn’t waste anytime in asking. She needed to know.
“Uhmmm…. What are you talking about” Bianca caught on the lie and knew that he had actually done it.
“Why Romeo? Though I wished it could have been me, being in possession of that file would hunt you forever” Bianca knew how sacred the file was to the Elites’ family and any of it’s member could take live to secure it.
“Bianca, you don’t understand” She noticed the tone in his voice had gone down drastically.
“Make me understand Romeo, make me understand why you had to steal the Lexicon file” She asked loudly.
“Giovanni” He mumbled but Bianca caught on to his words
“Wait, did you say Giovanni?” She verified.
“Yes, Giovanni is the master mind behind this, he asked me to move the Lexicon file and he would willingly give me the whooping sum of ten million dollars. That money could lift my family from poverty and that is why I took it” Romeo explained.
“Listen Romeo, you are in danger; Amore is not the type to stop if he wants to get something, I will advise you leave tow…” She was caught short with the door opening up to reveal Amore with a huge smirk.
*****************
“I see in you are in a major club” Amore pointed out, still standing by the door of the room
“Mind telling me who you were speaking to?” She felt herself shiver. This was one of the tightest situation ever.
“My brother”She lied through her teeth, hoping Amore doesn’t caught up with the lie.
“Your brother? Since when did you started havy brothers” Bianca was about to explain her lies when Amore’s phone rang and he picked up and left the room. Once he was gone, she felt at peace and hoped he did not return.
“I do hope you carried out the mission successfully” Amore asked as he head towards the balcony.
“We didn’t carry it out successfully” Amore’s eyes widened.
“Why?”
“You never told us that the victim happened to have been an ally with us prior!” Amore wondered what they were talking about. “He has offered us numerous deal and my boys are not willing to do anything to him” Amore felt pissed. He had thought that by now, the news about Leo be on the media but the excuse THE SKULL cartel was giving, was not tangible enough. He hanged up afterwards, he hated the fact that his instructions were not carried out and this eventually spelt war between him and the cartel.
He head back towards Bianca room for the second time but halted at the entrance; why question her when she could easily bring Romeo to his house with a simple threat? He thought to himself.
He picked up his phone, waiting on his Intel to pick up the phone. Once he picked up, he opened the door of her room.
“Yeah Hella, how do you do” He asked snirkiy at the ever nervous Bianca who was staring elsewhere other than him.
“I need you to do a favor for me” Bianca wondered what game he was up to “Remember that child Alonso, can you swiftly take him out for me” Bianca gasped and rushed down to her knees instantly pleading for the safety of her child.
“I will only have them not follow my instructions if you give me what I want” He said with a smirk on his face. Bianca felt like entering the entire ground; this felt like total betrayal to Romeo but she needed to do it for the same of her son. Bianca hated the fact that she had soft spot for children and aside the fact that she had Alonao, her second baby made her naturally immunes to being an emphat.
“I will text you his location but please don’t harm Alonao” She pleaded, holding his shoe lace and crying profusely.
“Very well then, Hella? I need you to stop with the operation” He instructed again on his phone, before hanging up the call.
