Chapter Nineteen
“What is the problem?” Priscilla asked upon noticing the gloomy countenance of her son who had entered the living room.
“What would you do in a situation where you love somebody but then there is a huge hurdle on the way stopping you from getting this person” Priscilla was thrown off balance with the question.
“Well what do you think your father would do?” Priscilla asked, looking at his son.
“Father would go for it, he would break through the hurdles and get what he wants in a heartbeat and without a sweat” He replied.
“Exactly son! Now I want you to know that being a leader comes with lots of responsibility and one of them is being able to do what you feel is right. I want you to understand something, these people, every one of them isn’t happy that you are the leader” Priscilla pointed out to his son.
“Really?” Amore asked in disbelief.
“Yes! I mean look at the face of Antonio when Marco announced you as the leader of the family. He was filled with Envy and what of Giovanni? He couldn’t even hide it.” Priscilla explained.
“Mom, about Bianca.” Priscilla stopped him before he could continue
“You don’t deserve that girl and to be honest with you Amore, I was disappointed that you had to go for her” Priscilla said calmly.
“That is because I found no other lady that has the kind of traits she has. Bianca is one in a million and her persona is just magnifying to watch and learn from.” Amore said with a dreamy facial expression.
“But she is with Giovanni already,” Priscilla pointed out.
“Exactly mother, you already said father would break through every hurdle and get what he wants right, I am going to do just that” Amore replied.
“Okay I don’t know what is going on in that sinister mind of yours but I want you to know that regardless, if you get her at the end of the day, I would have nothing to do with her.” Amore couldn’t understand the hatred of Priscilla for Bianca. It was as though something had occurred between the two, prior to this time.
“Well, have it your way mother” Amore stood up from the couch and headed to his room leaving Priscilla alone. After some minutes, she snapped her finger as an idea ran through her mind and she smirked devilishly. She picked up her phone and dialed a certain contact.
“Yes I wish to speak with the psychiatrist in charge of the Ambrose Asylum please”
“You are speaking with her,” the voice replied from its end.
“Oh great! My name is Priscilla , I presume you know me?” She asked.
“Yes ma, of course we know you” The woman replied politely.
“Excellent. Consider this as an order; I wish to have Sofia Miles cleared off any mental ailment she has been diagnosed with” Priscilla declared.
“But ma’am, that would be against our ethics,” the voice reminded her.
“I hope you do not want the Ambrose Asylum be raided and disbanded appropriately?” Priscilla asked.
“Definitely not.”
“Good, do as I have asked of you” She hung up afterwards and went back to watching her movies.

The following day, Giovanni and Bianca, alongside their baby, flew back to the United States. Bianca was particularly excited as it was the first time she would be returning back to Giovanni’s house after all these years of staying away from him. She couldn’t help but notice the entire change to the interior design of the house which showed her that Giovanni had been doing some renovating.
“Like the new look of the house?” Giovanni asked her upon noticing her reaction to the interiors.
“Yea it is great” She said. Alonso was already crawling across the living room but not far from the sight of the two.
“I need a favor from you Giovanni ” She turned to look at him with cute puppy eyes and a pouty lip which caused Giovanni to burst out laughing. Bianca was shocked! This was the first time she was seeing Giovanni laugh and she had to admit that the laughter was very contagious.
“You look like a burrito standing over there,” He said to her.
“Really? A burrito? I am no food you know” Giovanni smirked, grabbing her waist and drew her closer to himself.
“Of course, but I will have you for a snack in bed later,” he said, licking his lips in the process. Bianca had to admit that he looked hot.
“So what was it you were asking about?” he said, breaking the sexual mood that was growing up between them.
“I think that could wait for later.” Giovanni stared at her for a moment. “Well if you say so.” He shrugged as Bianca proceeded to the kitchen.
While Giovanni watched on as his beloved wife was cooking with his child, he couldn’t help but feel inner peace within. The fact that he had a family he could call his own was the greatest achievement he had made.
“Boss we have a situation” he was brought back to reality by Lucifer, who had stepped foot into the house.
“What is it?” Giovanni asked.
“It is Vladimir, he wishes to speak with you,” Lucifer said, holding up the phone. Giovanni took the phone and left the kitchen and headed up to his room before answering the call.
“Marco Giovanni! What is this nonsense?” Vladimir’s Russian accent came to play in his voice from the other end of the phone.
“What are you talking about ?” Giovanni asked as he sat by the bed.
“Oh! Don’t give me that crap, you clearly know what I am talking about” Vladimir’s voice boomed with anger from the other end of the phone.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I say to you once more, I do not know what you are talking about” It may seem as though Vladimir had noticed the honesty in his tone and decided to explain.
“I am talking about the shipments; the one your men exported out of Russia to china” He described.
“What happened?” Giovanni asked, getting worried.
“You did not pay your tax” Vladimir replied, half yelling.
“Look Vladimir, I need you to understand that I am no longer the leader of the Elites any longer. My step brother handles the affairs of the family and that includes the business. I don’t wish to be bothered about any breach of failing to pay tax” Giovanni explained.
“Oh! Is that so? I believe you need to educate your step brother on who he is fucking dealing with. I am Vladimir and I can do very great harm to your business here in Russia.” Shrevolsky threatened. Leo hung up the phone as he couldn’t bear listening to any more of the man’s threat. He kept on reminding himself that he had nothing to do with the Elites business.
While he was thinking through the entire conversation that just happened with Vladimir, Lucifer rushed into the room.
“Sir, our Intel has just informed me that the FBI are on their way here” Lucifer pointed out to Giovanni who was looking out the window.
“What does he say they want?” Giovanni asked.
“He simply said code red” He turned swiftly looking at Lucifer in disbelief. “Code red?”Giovanni asked.
“Yes sir Code red” Lucifer replied.
“Get Michael to prepare the Suv car, and inform Viola to make the preparations for the jet available, I will be with you in some minutes” Giovanni instructed Lucifer and the latter left the room. Code Red was the secret message which is used to inform any member of the Elites of a possible danger and so it was to be taken seriously.
His phone began to ring again, causing him to look up at the number which was an unknown contact. He hesitated before picking up.
“I am back!” the feminine voice which Giovanni mostly resented spoke through the other end.
“How the fuck did they allow you out of the Asylum” Giovanni asked.
“Don’t be like this Giovanni, I should expect that you celebrate my return with me but then your wife is home” Sofia said the last statement with a tone of resentment. “Can we meet and talk?” She asked further.
“There is nothing to talk about Sofia, stay clear of my path” Giovanni warned.
“Oh dear! Giovanni, you hurt my feelings. But it is okay, you don’t want us to talk? Well then, I put it to you that you will find me and will want to have a talk with me” Sofia remarked before hanging up.
“Boss, the ride is ready” Giovanni got up from the bed, and headed out down to the kitchen to meet his wife.
“Bianca, I need you to get Alonso with you, you are leaving for Spain” He instructed.
“Leaving for Spain? What is going on Giovanni” She asked upon noticing the look of worry across Giovanni’s face.
“There is no time to explain now” He said, trying to get his wife out of the kitchen. Bianca went to her room to get a few things before coming out to meet up with Giovanni who was holding Alonso.
“Aren’t you coming?” Bianca asked as she and Alonso were escorted into the car.
“I will meet you tomorrow” Giovanni said and kissed her on the forehead “Take good care of Alonso” he said before looking up at Lucifer.
“Remember your Job Lucifer” Lucifer nodded his head and head towards the driver seat, while Micheal sat at the front seat.
