Chapter Sixty
When Romeo was certain that it was time for his return, he came out of his hiding place. He had hidden himself up the roof at his room’s toilet.
“Hope they didn’t hurt you?” Romeo asked coming back to the living room to check on Doris.
“No. But hey, this is serious than I expected; we are in serious trouble” Doris exclaimed pacing around the living room
“We?”
“Uhmm…. Yea? We?” Doris indicated staring at Romeo confused.
“Listen Doris, I can’t drag you into this issue, it is too dangerous for you” Doris approached him ignoring how he towered over her in terms of his height.
“The moment I chose to help you, it became our problem and now that they seem to know this place, we have to leave New York city for now” She mentioned picking up her phone.
“I intended to leave for California” Romeo pointed out “I doubt if that would be possible; I mean Amore would definitely have his men over there to watch out”
“Then come with me” She stated scrolling through her phone searching for a contact
“Where?” He asked.
“To Brooklyn. My father has houses spread across Evey major states in America. If we head over to Brooklyn, I am certain it would be complicated for Amore to find you” Doris explained clearly to him.
“You know, I never intended to drag you into my mess” Romeo sighed.
“Like I said before Romeo, it’s no longer your shit, it’s ours now” Doris didn’t know where the new found courage came from but she closed the gap between them.
Romeo’s heartbeat had increased rapidly moreso that he was sweating from his hands as her presence engulfed him.
“Uhmm… Doris?”
“Yea”
“I don’t know if this is the right time to say this but you look beautiful” Romeo stated honestly. Staring into her blue hazel eyes made him believe how beautiful she was.
Doris on the other hand was lost in the moment; she could not fathom why she felt a sudden crave to touch Romeo and could not resist as her hands subconsciously moved over to his chest.
“I have been meaning to say this but since the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew at that moment that there was something fascinating I found about…..” Doris shut him up with a kiss. She felt a spark and her legs going weak as she moved her lips against his.
All sense of reasoning flew out of Romeo’s brain as he lost himself in the pool of pleasure as Doris kissed him. His hands flew over to hold on to her waist and drew her even more closer to himself. Their lips moved in synch and it made Romeo’s member grow hard.
The moment was caught short once they heard the knock on the door. Doris urged Romeo to go find a hiding spot immediately as she approached the door.
The moment she opened it, she was surprised to see a rather unexpected familiar face to be standing and looking at her intently.
“Father?”

It had been days since Giovanni met Bianca at the school library and he wondered if she had successfully enquired from her parents, the origin of the scar on her arm. Eating pancakes which had been prepared by Imade, he felt his phone buzzed and picked up almost immediately.
“Good day boss” the deep voice of Lucifer spoke through the other end.
“Yea”
“We have bad news” Giovanni stiffened for a while; could there have been another problem at his warehouse? He wondered to himself.
“What is it?”
“Dave is dead!” He began choking on the water he was drinking to calm his nerves. Imade ran from the kitchen to the dining table to help him get through the process.
“What did you say?” Giovanni asked in disbelief.
“I regret to say that Dave has passed on”
“What happened to him? Did he got shot by anyone?” Giovanni asked while Imade watched her husband carefully.
“No sir, it is suicide”
“Suicide? Dave doesn’t appear to be one to commit suicide” He couldn’t imagine his long time friend having to commit suicide.
“He actually did; he sent Viola some type of text”
“What type of text?” He asked
“I uhmmm…. don’t know how to explain it boss”
“Very well then, I need you to get yourselves ready, you both will be coming back to the state” Giovanni stated before hanging up. If Lucifer wasn’t willing to tell him what happened on phone, them they would have to meet him physically and talk.
“Who is Dave?” Imade suddenly asked
“My long time friend. He came to me months ago seeking for job with any security intelligence. I needed more hands with Lucifer and Viola in Russia thus I offered him to join them in Russia. And now, Lucifer is saying that Dave is dead” Giovanni explained accordingly.
“What happened?”
“He made mention of Suicide but the story is still foggy though” He was still trying to weigh in on the possibility of Dave having to kill himself. While he was still in deep thought, his phone rang and he checked to see Bianca calling. He shielded it from Imade who began to grow suspicious the moment he stood up to go recieve the call.
“Hey uhmm… It’s Bianca. About the uhmmm wrist thing and the god mother thing, it turns out that it’s the truth” Giovanni gasped. Bianca was the godmother of the most dangerous gang in New York city.
“We need to talk about this” Giovanni pointed out.
“No, listen Giovanni. The reason I called is for you to know that I didn’t sign up for any of this shit. I cannot be part of the Mafia world, this will not only put me in danger but also my children”
“By your children, you mean our children?” Giovanni stated with a smirk on his face.
“Can you stop being a jerk and listen? I need you to help me” Bianca indicated.
“Why don’t you ask Amore to help you out. I mean you are his wife and I am pretty sure that he would do anything for…. Hello? Bianca? Are you there?” Giovanni was in disbelief, Bianca had hanged up on her.
He paced around the room for a moment, thinking about the offer from the Skull gang. He wasn’t going to break his bond and trust for just a mere gang who only know New York city. Every cartel knew that the Elites was the top guns in the underworld and were infact untouchable. Aside this fact, he was certain that his father, wherever he is would be displeased knowing that his son had broken the bond in the family.
He was tired of the entire scenario playing out before him and was going to have a glass of whisky, when suddenly an Idea struck his mind.
He may not be able to join the Skull gang, but he could make them allies. It could be possible knowing Bianca was their godmother. Giovanni knew that Amore would not stop till he completely erase him off the table and thus the inclusion of the Skull gang would be a perfect match in heaven. He smiled to himself, picking up the glass of whisky and gulping the content
“Checkmate Amore”
*****
Amore had been really gloomy knowing that Romeo hadn’t been found. He had gotten information from a source that they saw him with a lady and he had used the school’s CCTV footage to discover he rolled with only two ladies aside Bianca; and they are Doris and Thea.
He had his men searched their houses respectively and while in Thea’s case, they found reason to believe he wasn’t there, Amore was suspicious of Doris who his men had stated was not too comfortable answering their question about Romeo’s identity.
It would only be a matter of time before he laid his hands on Romeo and get the Lexicon file from him. Suddenly, his phone began to ring and it was his mother who called
“Hey mom”
“Quite a long time since we talked son” Priscilla’s rather silk voice spoke from the other end. “Anyways, I do understand your plight being leader of the table” He rolled his eyes.
“What do you want mom”
“We have a problem on our hand” His mother indicated.
“What is it this time mother?” Amore asked rolling his eyes. There was never a time his mother called that there wouldn’t be problem.
“There have been rumours going around in the underground world about a possibility that Giovanni isn’t the first son of Marco before he died” Amore stiffened upon hearing those words from his mother.
“What are you talking about mother?” Amore asked.
“One of my intels heard this rumours that he has a child outside his marriage to Giovanni’s mother” Priscilla explained.
“Okay.. hold up mother; like you stated, it is just mere rumours and what did we say about rumours? They are never real so, mom be assured I don’t think this is true” He stated
“Alright then, I will just follow up on what you said and believe it to be just rumours” His mother stated before hanging up. Amore dismissed the idea almost immediately his mom finished calling of the possibility of Marco having an extra child.
