CHAPTER Sixty Eight
It was a sunny day in Canada and Buddy was having a cool time by the swimming pool, he had his Hennessy bottle nearby, while took to smoking.
Amore on the other hand, noticed him by the pool side and decided to go and meet up with him; he knew that Buddy will still be pissed with him over their last conversation. Amore knew how important Buddy was to him at the moment if he was willing to find his feet back at the underground world.
“Hey man” He hailed Buddy, but got no reply. “Look, I understand you are still pissed with me over what I said last night, that’s why I am here. I have made up my mind to help you, whatever it takes, I will do it for you to win” Once he was done talking, Buddy smiled at his friend, removing his sun glasses, he stared at him for a while before saying.
“I knew you would come around eventually. It’s good to see that you finally understand the assignment” He dropped the ash of his cigarette on the tray, and swam to the edge of the pool, where his escort awaited hima with a towel.
“You know, being the number one citizen of Canada, entitles me to numerous benefits; some of this benefits include unlimited access to anything I need in America. So, If you help me secure that seat, I assure you that lots of stuffs will be coming your way” Amore smiled while he took out a glass
“But I think there would be obstacles” Buddy pointed out, causing Amore to halt for a minute to look at his friend to see what he was driving at.
“What is the possibility that no one in New York is coming out for the election?” It was a good point raised by his friend. He knew for a fact that no one from the Elites would come out openly to declare their intentions as it was against the law.
“If there is any underground gang that might possibly bring out a candidate for the elections will be the gang. These bastards were the ones who betrayed me at the table and if they do bring a candidate, I will personally make sure their life I misrable” Amore stated with tone of hate.
“That is good to hear. Walk with me my friend” Amore poured out the Hennessy into the glass and followed his friend as they took a walk around the mansion he lived in.
“You see those boys from last night? There are the movers and ballers of Canada. My squad happened to be the hardcore driving force of this country. Without them nothing moves and nothing stops over here. However, recently, when I told them about my ambition to become president of the state, they were elated. Some were asking when they will get back to the state to support me. You know what this means? They are ready to invade America through their various influence. Each of them has a Mafia squad and combined, they all owe allegiance to me. So tell me, why won’t I win this election” He explained finish, smiling at Amore, who understood the entire process.
“No one would stand against us, I will make sure you are a forec to reckon with” Buddy tapped his friends shoulder in an appreciative gesture.
“A toast to seeing our dreams achieved” The sound of their glass clinged before they both emptied the content of the cup into their belly.

Days has passed, Romeo and Doris were already getting acquinted with each other. Although they hadn’t been able to get out, it was obvious that what is stopping them happens to be the fear of Carl.
Doris’ dad left after a week of still not approving of Romeo’s presence in the house; he left due to a conference meeting he had in Texas.
One fateful afternoon, Doris phone began to buzz and it happened to be Thea calling. She contemplated on picking up her call; it had been going on like this since the last encounter with the escorts.
The fear that they may be tracing Romeo through anyone gripped her but seeing that Thea had been constantly Calling, she decided to pick up the phone.
“Girl! You are still alive?” The loud voice of Thea, got her cringing and shifting the phone from her ear.
“You really want to block off my ear with that squeaky voice of yours”” Doris remarked.
“Forget about that, where in the world are you? I have come visiting your apartment for tens of thousands of time but there haven’t been a time where my luck would shine” Thea said from the phone, not giving her a breathing space to talk.
“Alot of personal stuffs have been going on with me” Doris said with a sigh.
“Care to share….. hold up a minute, I just rhymed words together! Again, Doris got the phone away from her ear as the loud voice of Thea got to her hearing.
“Girl, can you stop being childish over little things?” Doris asked feeling exaspirated already
“Duh! It’s my life, I choose to live it the way I want to” Doris could imagine her friend flipping her hair as she spoke through the phone.
“So, tell me, what’s been going on with you?”
“Well, for a first, I need to know; Did you notice anyone tracking you recently or have you been having that feeling of being stalked in the public?”
“Girl, there is no way I can be stalked in the public. I have been clean with everyone” Thea answered honestly.
Doris sighed knowing that regardless of what Thea is facing, regardless of the pressure, she isn’t the type to lie.
“Alright, you will need to buckle your belt for this tale because we will be having a long hour tale of talk on phone and I need you to keep this a secret between us” Doris warnedCopyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“You have my word babe and I cross my heart”

Giovanni was home alone; Imade had gone out to the mall to grab a few groceries, when he heard a knock by the door.
He went to get it. Once he opened the door, he was pretty much surprise to see the duo who had been his security aid for years back.
“Greeting boss” Lucifer was the first to speak, bowing with courtesy.
Giovanni left the door opened, so they could come in ofcourse. He took his seat comfortably at the couch, watching both Lucifer and Viola who hadn’t dared raised their eyes on him just yet.
“So, after the mission in Russia, you both decided to stay put isn’t it?” Giovanni asked looking more serious than ever.
“Boss, it’s not what you think” Viola try to speak.
“What should I think about? Micheal is no longer available because he got married months ago and I can’t order a married man around. When I needed your services, you both decided to stay back in Russia” Giovanni’s voice was getting louder as he spoke.
“Boss, we are fully aware of the fact that we didn’t reach out to you nor even had the chance to text you. That is why we are here; we are truly sorry for our act” Lucifer spoke calmly.
“Why would I be begging if I were you? Because of your absence, I suffered lots of things in the process; the fact that I nearly got attacked by the skull gang is one of them. Not only that, I got stripped of my title from the table, loosing it to Amore” Giovanni knew that he was rambling but he was searching for who to empty his frustration upon and they happened to be the ones.
“Boss, we swore our allegiance to you and we understand that we broke that path, but you need to understand that so many things happened in Russia” Something caught Giovanni’s attention; the close proximity between Lucifer and Viola, got him all suspicious.
“Are you two dating?” He asked out of the blue, ignoring their comments so far.
“Uhmm about that sir” Lucifer was nervously touching his back head, while Viola was looking around, trying not to look at her boss face.
“Wait! You two are dating!!” Giovanni said, looking at them Incredulously.
The door suddeny opened, revealing Imade, who held on to numerous bags of groceries in her hand.
“Wait a minute, aren’t this your escorts? The ones who used to work for you” She asked, looking at them with air of recognition.
“Indeed they are. Apparently, they are dating” Imade looked at them both and simply dismissed it figuratively with her hands.
“Babe, you won’t believe what I heard today” Imade stated, dropping weight to the chair which was close by.
“What did you hear this time?” Giovanni asked already getting bored by her incoming long talks.
“Rumours have it that Buddy will be coming back to the states in few weeks” At the mention of Buddy’s name, Giovanni swiftly turned and looked at his wife.
“That’s impossible!” He exclaimed, staring at her in disbelief.
“Its fact and even though I don’t have proof, you know above everyone else that my stuffs have always never failed”
“If he is truly coming to the states, then shits about to get down” Giovanni commented.
