Her Mafia Lord

CHAPTER Seventy Eight

It was nine pm and Giovanni was already in bed. He wasn’t asleep though, he was responding to chats from some of his workers in the company he had set up recently.

Viola on the other hand was staying at the boys quaters, when she heard the sound of someone knocking at the gate.

She was curious as to why someone would be knocking at such ungodly hour. At first, her thoughts were; Micheal probably went to have a night out and decided to return home.

On arriving at the gate, she pulled the door opened and came face to face, with the least person she had expected to see.

“Lucifer?” She asked, staring in shock at him.

“It’s me babe” Lucifer said smiling at his girlfriend. He couldn’t deny the fact that he had missed her. He also noticed that she had lost weight and it got him worried.

“I can’t believe you are alive” She said, engulfing him in a bear hug and inhaling his scent.

“I barely escaped from Dave’s trap and there are many reasons as to believe that he might becoming after me”

“Come on in” She said, stepping aside for him and locking the door afterwards. She helped him to her room and stripped him off his dirty clothes and made water ready for him to have his bathe.

“I believe Giovanni is home?” He asked

“Yeah, but I doubt if he is awake” Viola replied, fetching for him a new set of clothes and nice pants go along with it.

“I need to see him this night” Lucifer said, spranging up to his feet and headed for the door before Viola stopped him on his tracks

“Why don’t you rest and then wait up till tomorrow morning” Lucifer shook his head in disagreement.

“I need to see him tonight” And shoved Viola lightly aside and head out to the main mansion of the house.

Giovanni was surprised when he heard the door bell ring. Imade was irritated by the continuous sound and whined

“Make it stop” She grumbled to the pillow

Giovanni sighed and went out to get the door; whoever it was at the door must have a reasonable excuse as to why they decided to wake him from his beauty sleep at the moment or else they were in for it.

When Giovanni opened the door, he was surprised to see Lucifer standing right in front of him, looking clean.

“How in the world are you still alive” Giovanni asked, looking at him in disbelief.

“It’s a long tale sir. Mind if I come in please” Giovanni stepped aside, still staring in disbelief as Lucifer entered into his apartment.

After hours of telling in details what happened to him, Giovanni was pissed and was muttering curses.

“So my step brother is the main master mind behind that act” Giovanni asked.

“Without a doubt sir”

“Don’t worry, I have an Idea on what to do” Giovanni said with a smirk on his face.

Carl was at home with Dave, planning on their next line of action. Apparently, Carl was still pissed over the fact that Giovanni wasn’t six feet deep at the moment.

“Have you been able to have access to his schedule and when he could possibly be working” Carl asked as he sipped in a glass of Vodka.

“I have the boys working on it” Dave replied “But there is a problem, the boys” Dave added

“What happened?” Carl asked, shooting him an interesting look.

“They all seemed to not be trust worthy” Dave had seen instance where he had asked them to do a thing and they some how hesitated before doing it.

“We will fix them up. In the mean time, I need you to get the job done. Giovanni must not see the broad day light tomorrow. I would have hired Zeus, my favourite hitman but it turns out that Zeus is also not in the country at the moment” Dave nodded his head in understanding.

Meanwhile, Bianca had been eavesdropping on their conversation and was rather surprised to know that Carl intend to finish off Giovanni. She needed to warn him as soon as possible as the possibility of having to see the body of Giovanni were high.

“Hey” The deep resonating voice of Giovanni came through.

“We need to talk” She stated firmly

“About what exactly?” Giovanni asked

“You need to be very careful, Carl has his eyes set on you and the possibility of having to eliminate you are high” Though they might not be together, she still cared for Giovanni and his life

“Be rest assured, nothing is going to happen to me. Carl should know by now that i am very dangerous and also a fighter” Giovanni boasted.

“But you should also be wary of him. He is hoping to use your best friend to commit this act” Giovanni widened his eyes in shock as he held the phone to his ear.

“Dave?”

“Yes, Dave is after you and he wouldn’t be nice this time around” Bianca warned before hanging up, she had heard the footsteps of someone and turn around to see Carl staring at her.

“Who were you talking to?” He asked

“My mom?” Carl smiled and approached her slowly and held her hair backwards.

“You really take me for a fool to believe that crap you have as a story” He said chuckling

“Let go of my hair” Bianca struggled.

“Not until you let me know who you were talking to”

“I don’t know what you are saying, I wasn’t speaking to anyone, I swear” Bianca said, feeling the pain from her scalp.

“No problem then, just so you know, I have my eyes on you. The elections are here and the last thing i would want my beloved wife doing is snitching”

“I am not your wife” Bianca pointed out, after rolling her eyes.

“Don’t worry, that would soon be made officially” He said with a smirk on his face.

*******

“I must say that the meals are wonderfully made” The bishop indicated, having washed his hands in the bowl.

“I am glad that you like it” Buddy said with a smile on his face. He had been able to invite the bishop for a dinner treat. The invitation was almost impossible but he was lucky to have Rondon use his influence on the bishop.

“So, when the president called me, he said it was important I meet with you. Now that I am here, I ask; what is the purpose of this invite” Buddy liked the way the bishop had his things done. He was calm and collected in his words.

“It is about my presidential bid Bishop Williams. I want you to help me influence the church to get my vote. This can only happen, if you endorse me for the position” Buddy said with a smile up on his face.

“Mr. Buddy, I am sorry if my words will hurt you but I am doing and saying this for the dignity of the church. You see, the church is not a place where someone just runs to and politicize every activities that are held sacred” The bishop adjusted his seat and leaned closer.

“I am a bishop of honor and prestige and i will not seat and watch these two great virtues go down the drain all because of some pesky political ambition”

“I understand. The president however has endorsed me as his candidate and he is the highest power holder in the country. So, why can’t you do the same respectfully?” Buddy asked, folding his arms and watching the bishop.

“I already told you before, the church is not a political platform for you to trade” Buddy stood up to his feet and walked up to the Bishop.

“You will do as I say bishop or you can have yourself sorry for whatever repercussion that comes with it” The bishop sat there uncomfortable

“You know Buddy, there is nothing, absolutely nothing you can do to me. I am the replica of Jesus Christ to the church and touching me would means touching the church. They won’t hesitate to raise up and attack you” Buddy erupted into a heavy laughter.

“So let me get this straight, you think I am scared of the people and what they stand for? I hate to burst your bubbles but i won’t hesitate to put every single member of your Church six feet below” Buddy boasted.

The bishop arose and adjusted his garment before taking a long stare at Buddy, who also held on to his stare.

“May God have mercy on you”

“And you too Bishop Williams, and you too” Buddy replied, laughing sadistically as the bishop walked out of the house.

When he came out of the house, so many media men were all around, taking pictures of his visit, making him look very uncomfortable.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
