Her Mafia Lord

CHAPTER Sixty Six

When Giovanni arrived home, he was all shades of emotions; from regret, to anger, to hate. He regretted disbelieving Bianca when she told him about the pregnancy. If he had accepted it whole heatedly, they wouldn’t be in this mess at the moment.

Imade noticed the gloomy look on her husband’s face and approached him, and sat beside him, trying to get his attention.

Giovanni had noticed her presence the moment she entered the room. He chose to ignore her as she was the least of his problems.

“You have been totally off lately” Imade commented

“I don’t want to talk about it” She sighed and decided to lay in bed and held on to his chest as Giovanni stared at the ceiling.

“Is it because of the recent news?” She asked.

“What are you talking about, what news?” Imade rose her head up and stared at him for the some minutes

“The round table of course” At the mention of this, Giovanni turned around to look at Imade who was in disbelief that he wasn’t aware.

“Wait you don’t know?” Imade asked again

“Just hit the nail on the head” He was tired of the suspense already.

“Amore is no longer the leader at the table and Priscilla is dead” Giovanni looked at Imade for a moment and erupted into laughter.

“Never knew you had such humour” Though it was off the point, Imade could not help but smile at the fact that Giovanni had laughed.

“I am serious. Amore is no longer the leader of the table”

“And who is the leader?” Giovanni asked with an amused look up his face

“That is the point, her name is Tina and based on what I heard, she is your twin” Imade explained

“Okay, I think you took my vodka” Giovanni pointed out, checking Imade’s eye to see if she was drunk but the sincerity in her tone was obvious.

“Wait a minute, you are serious aren’t you?” Giovanni asked, his mood morphing into all form of seriousness.

“I wss never joking, you are the one that took it for a joke” Imade said with a scoff.

“I met Amore at the hospital this afternoon and he didn’t look like someone who had been stripped off his title and secondly, who is this imposter that is claiming to be my sister” Giovanni asked

“Well, she isn’t just your sister, they said she is your twin. You both looked identical” Amore had heard enough of it and so, he stood up from the bed and grabbed his phone to make a call to his uncle.

“Giovanni?” Xavier’s voice came through once the call connected.

“Greetings uncle”

“Is good to hear your voice amidst the situation going on” Xavier replied

“Hold up a minute uncle, so it is true!” Giovanni asked.

“Indeed, and I am to be blame for all this” The regret was obvious on in tone

“What happened?” Giovanni asked

“I can’t explain everything on the phone for you. I will need you to come over to Mexico. The members of the round table are still in the penthouse”

“No problem uncle” He replied before hanging up

********

When Giovanni arrived Mexico, nothing much had changed from the last time he was at the penthouse, the memories of been disbanded from the table still played up in his head. He noticed a particular white Car parked amongst the black fleet of cars present. His instinct immediately told him that I would definitely be the imposter asserting to be his sister.

The door leading to the table was closed and Giovanni deduced that they were in a meeting. The rules of the Elites stated that once a member of the Elites was late for the round table meeting, there is a certain fine such a person was instructed to pay.

Giovanni didn’t care about the fine as it didn’t apply to him technically. He opened the door, ignoring the look on the escorts standing at the side of the door.

The moment the door opened, all eyes were on him. Giovanni on the other hand had his sight somewhere else.

He froze for a minute seeing Tina; she was indeed his twin. There was no difference in their facial looks. The only difference being that Giovanni was a male and she was a female.

“This is Giovanni, your twin brother” Xavier introduced as Tina simply held up her gaze at Giovanni, who hadn’t moved from the spot.

“Welcome brother, you may have your seat” She said pointing towards the seat amongst the members.

“What is happening here uncle, how did everyone at the table defile the laws that govern the table and install her as leader to the throne?” There was silent mumuring amongst the members of the table. Xavier on the other hand could not contain the shame on his face knowing Giovanni was saying the obvious.

“Listen here brother! Either you seat down or you simply walk out of this place gracefully. Precise, I heard Amore disbanded you from the table” Tina stated with a smirk on her face.

“Now you listen to me imposter, you will leave that seat at once” Giovanni heard the cocking of various gun and he looked around to see every escort stationed at the corner of the room, aiming their gun at him.

“Really? So you really want to kill your twin?” Tina rose up gracefully from the throne and walked up to him, using her hand to make out his facial features and lean closer saying

“I have killed people that are dear to me, what makes you any different?” Giovanni was in disbelief; the fact that she was witty and confident of herself was a proof that she had their father’s blood running through her.

“So, how is going to be brother? Are you going to sit down or face the same fate with Priscilla?”

“Wait a minute, you killed Priscilla?” Giovanni asked in disbelief.

“She killed father and so, she deserve death” Tina replied, moving over to her seat.

Giovanni sighed and resigned up his ego and approached the seat which was meant for Priscilla and took up his seat.

“Now that everyone is here, we can fully commence” Tina indicated with a smile up her face.

“And so gentlemen and ofcourse ladies, that is the new plan for my reign” Tina explained and stared at everyone at the table.

“Any objections?” Giovanni raised his hands up.

“Your plan has so many hitches to it; You want us to take control of the entire underground world business in America, I will have you know that regardless of the fact that we are the greatest Mafia crew ever to grace the city of New York, there are limits to what we do. In the rankings of top Mafia crew in the world, we are sitting at the number ten”

“It still doesn’t matter, I mean if we have to kill the entire nine crew to take over the entire America, I would not mind” Tina interrupte Giovanni before he could finish speaking.

“Everyday in America, gangstars rise and some dangerous than the other. If we decided to go on with this plan, it would put every single member of the crew in danger” Xavier tried to make Tina see things but it didn’t seem to be working.

“Uncle Xavier, the rule stands and regardless of what you all say here, it doesn’t count to me”

“The last man to have sat at this table, asked for people’s opinion and they were taken into consideration. But you have a style of rulership that scream dictatorship” Alexandra, one of the younger Elite spoke out.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Who was the last person to seat here? Amore? or Giovanni? Well those two were just pussies with Giovanni being the greater pussy. I am not any of them, if I want something, I get it” Giovanni was pissed about being called a pussy. Tina happened to be the second person to say this to him; the first being Amore.

“Any other objection?” No one rose up as they knew I was aimless.

“Now that is being said, there is only is only one way to execute this plan, and that is installing a new president in the forth coming election here in America. I mean think of it; an Elites go ally becoming a president of our great nation”

“A good idea if you ask me” All eyes went up to Daniel, one of Marco’s brother.

“Why are you all staring at me like that? I mean it’s about time we show the entire America that we are a force to reckon with”

“That is the issue, this goes against any of our existing customs and law. The law states all activities of the Elites is to be kept secret away from preying eyes. And now, this is in contrast of what Tina is bringing to the table” Giovanni explained.

Tina on the other hand, rose up from the seat and took a few steps towards the door and halted for a moment, turned around and looked at them all

“Like I said, your opinions don’t count. I will only do those things that will be beneficial to me and the next generation of Elites” She finished up and left the table.
