Her Mafia Lord

Chapter Fifty Six

It was past ten at night when a call woke Amore up from sleep; apparently he hadn’t been having enough sleep and it irked him that someone had to wake him up from his beauty sleep.

“Yeah, who is this” Amore asked after yawning

“Boss, Romeo has escaped!” The moment Amore heard that, he became wild awake.

“What are you talking about!”

“We came back to base and discovered he is gone” Amore was shocked; how on earth had he escaped? He wondered to himself.

“Okay then, listen real quick, i need you to get all the men to search around the entire arena, we need to get to the buttom of this immediately” He couldn’t allow Romeo escape, he needed him to know the location of the file.

“Yes boss”

“And don’t forget to take him by force, if need be” At this stage, if it was force that was needed, it would be applied.

“I will do as you have instructed” Amore hanged up immediately, standing to his feet and putting on his pyjamas once more. He needed to smoke; he was never an addict of smoking but when he was frustrated, he resort to take a two or three blunt.

“You know, smoking isn’t really good for your health” He was startled by Bianca’s voice who held her hips to support her stomach which had protruded so much that Amore was scared it could burst open.

“Just trying to enjoy my shit” He replied, applying the lighter on his hands to the cigar

“What seems to be the problem” He hadn’t mentioned bro her that Romeo was in the prison but he was certain that if he does, she would feel guilty.

“Just thinking about the Lexicon file” He commented as he watched the beautiful stars of the night as they glowed

“Look, one thing is certain, I know you will find it” He was surprised that Bianca was suddenly giving him moral support.

“I do hope you are not acting one of your numerous scripts?” He aired his thoughts out, earning a gasp from Bianca.

She should have known that regardless of what she told him, he would never believe her again after the stunt he had pulled up on her.

“Good night” She simply said and stomped off from the balcony towards her room. As she laid down on her bed, she wondered what her baby would look like. She had prayed he doesn’t look like his father who was a coward. Then again, she wondered how it would feel to have a baby who would look like her for once. Alonso was a pictorial representation of Giovanni and Bianca was certain that if the young lad grew up, he would take after his father. As her eyes began to close, her mind wondered into the reasons why Giovanni would suddenly want to see her. She could not think of any tangble reason outside the fact that he intend to see Alonso or apologize to her for the event of the mall. If it was any of the two, she would walk away from him and not spare him a glance.

Romeo ran across the street, ignoring the looks he got from most of the passer by; he was not willing to talk to anyone as he saw everyone as a suspect at the moment. He had no where to go; he couldn’t possibly go back to his house as it would be too dangerous. He was hungry and needed food to strengthen himself. As he walked along the express road barefooted, he noticed the MacDonald across the street and his stomach began to rumble. He had no money with him and there was no way he could possibly afford any of their dish. Romeo however, knew that if he swallowed his ego and begged for food, someone might have pity on him and help him.

As he tried moving over to the other side of the road, he forgot to look at his sides for any incoming cars and a white Rang rover, ran over him. He was lucky to have jumped on top of the cars bonnet before fall bro the floor.

“Oh my God, are you alright” The rather familiar voice asked as he stood up to his feet, dusting off the dusts on his clothes.

“Wait a minute, Amore?” He suddenly turned around and was in disbelief seeing Doris standing right in front of him.

“What happened to you?” Doris asked as she looked him up from head to toes.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Uhmm I don’t know how to say this but am in deep shit” He simply replied, stealthy checking around to know if there was any strange stalker or possibly Amore’s men coming for him.

“What do you mean”

“Doris, can’t explain now, I uhmm need a safe place to travel to at the moment” He said and began walking away from the place.

“Hold up, let me drop you off at my side” Doris didn’t know what had come over her but she felt the need to just help him.

Romeo slowly turn to look at her in disbelief and made the gesture to himself and then towards the car and she nodded her head affirmatively.

“You can’t just possibly think of running forever, whoever is after you would certainly get to you within a blink of an eye” She explained.

Romeo found reason in what she was saying; Amore could possibly be nearing up against him and so decided to take her by the offer.

“Thank you” he said as Doris turned the ignition of the car and moved across the road.

“So what crime did you got yourself into?” She asked with her eyes still fixed on the road.

“I will definitely tell you once we are home but for now, we need to stay off the street” He said checking the side mirrors to see if there was any strange cars possibly after them.

When they got to Doris apartment, Romeo could not make out whether or not the entire place had change as lights brought out the beauty of the interior.

“Make your self available, I will uhmm go fix an empty room up” She said before heading up the stairs. As Romeo sat down, he decided to check the entire place out. The interior designs were simply fascinating which made Romeo believe that the brain behind the design would have been paid a huge amount for this work.

As his eyes roamed across the living room, they fixed at a particular framed picture; Romeo stood up out of sheer curiosity to check the frame out. It was a picture of a young Doris and her parents judging from the identical resemblance between them.

“Uhmmm” Romeo was suddenly startled by Doris’ who folded her hands staring at him.

“You looked beautiful in this frame” He admitted honestly seeing the how her smile made her look so innocent.

“Yeah I know, this was one of those moments I would never forget in my life” She admitted as she took her seat.

“So, what happened?” She said taking her seat on the couch. Romeo sighed and took his seat by the opposite sofa.

“Okay first of all, promise you won’t freak out and also you won’t mention it to anyone” He said staring at her sternly.

“Even Thea?” She asked

“Especially Thea” He replied her

“Okay what of Bianca? You both are friends so I think she should know”

“You are certainly right, and i fear that she might have been the person who caused me to be in this position that I am find myself this moment” He admitted regretting ever telling Bianca about the file.

After so many minute of explaining what happened, Doris was caught up in the story that she didn’t even moved a bit from her chair.

“So you mean Amore, Bianca’s husband has his men searching for you?” She asked staring at him in disbelief.

“Yes”

“Do you know the content of this document?” She asked. Romeo hadn’t bother to know what the document was when Giovanni had offered him a huge amount to take it from Amore’s office

“No idea” He said sadly.

“And you believe Bianca told Amore about it?”

“Certainly, she is the only one aware of the fact I had stolen the document” He hadn’t told anyone about it.

“Have you considered other possibilities? Because I believe Bianca isn’t the type of person that would love to snitch on her friends” Romeo couldn’t agree more, there was only one possibility to this; Bianca was forced.

“I think Amore forced her” Doris chuckled at the statements from her.

“I don’t agree, I mean Bianca is in a beautiful relationship with the man”

“Actually she isn’t, I hate to snitch but the truth is, she always find ways to escape from him” Romeo said.

“Wait are you saying she still has feelings for Giovanni?” She asked.

“Here is how complicated it is, I usually work at the bar your father had rent for the event and so, she met this masked guy named Fred and they began hanging out” Doris could not believe what she was hearing, Bianca was cheating?

“I know you think she is cheating but that is not what I think, I think she was trying to use the young man as sexual coping mechanism”

“But Bianca doesn’t look like that person” Doris interrupted him and stated.

“Well the twist to the story is this, both Bianca and Fred don’t know their real identity”

“Really” Doris asked in disbelief

“Yes, and the truth is, Giovanni is actually Fred and he just like Bianca is hoping to use her as a coping mechanism for sex” Romeo finished up as he watched Doris eyes widened.
