Chapter 99
On hearing her words, a smile ghosted his lips. She had finally accepted that he was her man and there was no going back.
“As you know, my beloved brother is the Capo dei Capi, the Capomandemanto, the don, and the godfather of the COSA nostra. My beautiful sister-in-law is Donna, the queen and is in charge of the nightlife and other affairs of the COSA nostra. I am the Underboss.” He paused and continued “Ville is the Consigliere, also known as the f*cking advisor or right-hand man, and Alfonso is the Caporegime, the captain that oversees the soldiers.”
Lucretia blinked twice and stared at him with furrowed brows. Did he just mention Ville? Rosana’s arrogant bodyguard who wouldn’t stop hovering around her? She even lost count of the number of times she picked a fight with him and called him all sorts of names because he wouldn’t let them have fun like they wanted.
“I thought Ville was just a bodyguard?”
“He is one of us. That is the reason why my brother chose him to protect Donna.” Enzo replied and continued the lectures on everything she needed to know about the Mafia and his duties as the Underboss. He skipped the part where he kills effortlessly.
“Were you going to kill Allen last night?” She finally asked when he was done talking. “You didn’t even know him or the offense he committed?”
After they arrived from the States the previous night, Lucretia had been more scared walking with him. Even when he joined her in the bathroom during the party and f*cked her till her legs trembled, she didn’t realize he had a gun with him. Not until she caught him pulling it out from behind his waistband.
“It does not matter, Cari? o. I saw my brother drawing out his weapon and did the same. The sh*t face also had his f*cking hands around my sister-in-law and for so many reasons, I knew he was trouble”
She nodded and gulped. “Do you always have a… a gun with you?”
“Why? Are you afraid I’d f*ck you with it again?” He asked and she gave him a stern look. “Relax, Cari? o. The weapons are for motherf*ckers”
“You did not answer my question. Were you going to kill him?”
He sighed and rolled his eyes. “Yes. If my brother ordered me to”
“But he was not even there”
Enzo laughed and shook his head. “There is so much you do not know, Cari? o.”
That was true and it terrified her. “So… You would do anything for the Don?”
Enzo stared at her for a while before responding.
“Anything. If he grabs a gun, I grab a f*cking hammer. If he declares war, I will be right behind him with a f*cking army. If he jumps off a cliff… I will fall right behind him without a f*cking parachute because I know he would do the same for me!” “Gosh, I am so happy to have you back!” Rosana muttered and wiped the tears that formed in her eyes. She had just given Lucretia the rundown of everything that happened when she was away.
“I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. And that b*tch of a Mistress… I swear, I would have carved out the baby or whatever she is carrying and fed her with it”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Rosana could only wish she was like Lucretia in most aspects. While she was the quiet one who loved reading and painting, Lucretia was the crazy one who loved to party. She always got into trouble and fights but Rosana was always there to help her out of it.
“Why are you smiling? I mean it. And why have you not told the Don about this? F*ck, I already love how he would deal with her the moment he finds out about it!”
“I tried to tell him…”
“Yeah, I know. Everything is hard right now, just give him time. And do not stop loving him because of some bullsh*t he said. A man like him sure has more enemies than lovers and he is used to it.”
Rosana nodded and heaved in relief. What would she have become if she didn’t have a friend like Lucretia? She always had the perfect response to everything, the perfect ideas and solutions though some of them were crazy and delusional.
“So… About this man you ditched me for…” Rosana said changing the topic. “When is he coming to say hello? You know, I just can’t wait to meet this mysterious man”
Lucretia smiled and looked around nervously. “You will meet him soon enough!”
“As long as you are happy, Cretia, which of course, I know you are, this man deserves a f*cking award!”
Lucretia smiled and shook her head. She could still remember how shocked she felt when Enzo pulled up in the bathroom and ordered her to raise her dress and bend over the sink. There was something so scary but freaking erotic about knowing Rosana or anyone could catch them any minute.
A yawn broke into her thoughts and she turned back to Rosana. “Are you alright?”
“Why does everyone keep asking me that? I am perfectly fine, just tired”
“Are you sure about that?” Lucretia asked and accessed her closely. “We could visit the Doctor”
“Cut it out, Cretia, I am fine!” She said and stood up. “I will just head back and have some rest”
Lucretia followed her out of the clubhouse with Ville behind them. She leaned closer to Rosana and whispered. “Do you know your hot bodyguard is a Consigliere?”
“Yeah. What about him?” Rosana whispered back. “Is he the one you are f*cking?”
“F*ck no!”
They both laughed as they got to the car. While Ville opened the door for Rosana, Lucretia hugged and bade her goodbye. As she returned to the clubhouse to prepare for the evening, Enzo walked out of the dark corner and she halted at once. What was he doing there? She wondered, staring at him.
“Hey…”
“What happened to my sister-in-law?”
She furrowed her brows. What was he talking about? “Rosana? Nothing. She is fine!”
“Then what did I hear about the f*cking Mistress?” When she didn’t respond, he growled “Answer me!”
Had he been eavesdropping? Lucretia wondered. She couldn’t stand the darkness in his eyes, let alone the coldness in his voice. He looked terrifying and she couldn’t help but rush the words out of her mouth.
“She… She is pregnant!”
Enzo stilled.
“The hell?”
“Rosana told me. She has been a b*tch…” She didn’t get a chance to finish before he stormed off. “Wait. Where are you going?”
“To find the b*tch!”
