Chapter Ninety Five
Amore was back home and surprised the entire place seemed quiet to him. He called out Bianca but got no response. He wasn’t shocked nor nervous that she had escaped, he knew quite well that Bianca would not dare put her son’s life in danger. Sitting down on the couch, it was a tiring and stressful day for him, having been going around the country, trying to meet up with some of the Mob bosses.
Suddenly, his phone began to ring and without wasting time, he immediately picked up, knowing that every call was trivial at this critical point.
“What information do you have for me” He asked, after noticing that the caller’s identity was his Intel.
“Sir there has been a very critical situation at the penthouse” He sat upright, and pay close attention to what he had to say.
“Apparently, there has been a major transition”
“What are you talking about?” He asked, getting nervous.
“The entire members of the table, save for Xavier as an exception has been wiped out” Amore’s eyes widened in shock. These men were supposed to be his allies, how they were wiped off was a complete mystery that he was yet to understand.
“Based on the information I got, Giovanni had set them all up for the meeting and used the entire men that were around to kill of the members of the table. But that is not all….” Amore wasn’t surprised, all Elites are smart and Giovanni wasn’t an exception.
“What else ?”
“The entire skull gang has paid their allegiance to him” His eyes widened upon hearing that.
“How can that be possible?”
“Apparently, it may seem as though they double crossed you sir. There is no explanation better than this fact” Amore gritted his teeth in anger, he was supposed to have known that the skull gang were not people to be trusted and now, they have betrayed him really good.
“Sir, with the look of things, the elections might just get even harder with Giovanni having to reclaim his table and at the same time, incorporating the Skull members as members of the Elites”. Amore didn’t want to believe that it would be very complicated, he was trying his best to ensure that Buddy wins the election as it would be a total disaster for Tina to win.
“Alright listen attentively, I want you to put your ears on the ground for more information, I need to be updated about what is going on in that round table. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes sir” He hanged up afterwards.
Amore went into deep thought about the entire situation. Giovanni claiming the sit back meant trouble for him as the latter won’t hesitate to cause havoc on Buddy’s chance of winning the election.
Another thought came to his mind, and he immediately picked up his phone; Bianca wouldn’t possibly leave him, considering he had her child hostage, but everything is possible and nothing has been impossible for a while now.
“Hey, I need you to do something real quick for me”

Doris and Romeo were seated comfortably in the library, when suddenly, there was an announcement that all students should come out to the arena to grace Tina’s arrival.
“Aren’t you going to come?” Doris asked, she had been a huge fan of Tina ever since she came out to declare her intentions. Doris knew the amount of pressure that Tina must have encountered before coming to be the strong and firece president that she was today.
“Let me wrap this diagram up” Romoe stayed with a smile, making a last sketch to the picture on his table. When he was done, he packed all his books and stuffed them into the bag and immediately followed Doris out of the library.
The arena was packed full with students of the entire college as they waited for Tina to step out of her car.
Meanwhile, Tina was speaking to Leo on phone “I still can’t believe you killed our entire siblings in the table”
“Even their father’s would be proud of what I have done. They were all disgrace to the table. I didn’t want to admit it but the truth of the matter is that, you cannot simply break the Omerta that binds the family together”
“Well, I understand your point and seeing how busy I am at the moment, I will schedule a time to come for the round table meeting before the election comes by in two weeks time”
“Alright then, we will all be expecting you” Leo replied.
“About that, have you heard from Thelma recently? How do you intend on getting her back from the claws of Amore?” Tina asked inquisitively. She wanted more than anything else, the entire members of the round table to be available.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Plans are in motion already, I am certain that she will eventually be with me”
“You know what, there are lots of things we really need to talk about, but right now, I am at the Oakwood college, I am here to do a mini campaign, seeing that it belongs to our family”
“It’s a good idea, I will leave you to run away now” Giovanni stated and hanged up afterwards. The moment Tina was done, she handed her phone over to her escort and stepped out of the car to be graced with multitude of students that await her.
Tina was full of smile, seeing the cheers that erupted from the crowd and she waved at them all, taking her stand by the podium.
“Good morning to everyone one of you” She greeted and a positive response of greetings, followed up immediately, as everyone was super happy to see her.
“I believe we are all here for one purpose, and for this purpose to be achieved, we need to understand ourselves” The entire crowd paid close attention as she continued with her speech.
“Today the educational system in our country, is commendably the best in the world, but there are some few things that need to still be put into work. I am not here to make promises of what I will do, and what I will not do. I am here to state that whether or not I win, I will fufil these dreams of every student across countries, using Oakwood college as a point of contact” Everyone kept on cheering as she spoke on.
“Now, without further adduce, talk are in progress with the school management to commence my project on the school with immediate effect. Be rest assured that Oakwood is about to be transformed into a great school” The whole crowd went wild as they kept on cheering for her.
“I will now take a few questions” So many hands were raised but Tina had to use her discretion to pick some of the persons.
“Greetings ma’am, my name is Zinelsky a citizen of Ukraine, my question to you is simple; what plans do you have for immigrants who live in this school” Tina smiled as she decided to take her time to answer the question approriately.
“Now that is a very good question there and I will answer by stating that everyone is equal and should be treated that way. My project will also include the entire school and we will as well put the immigrants in our plans. I don’t want to discuss the details, but you will rather see the results” There were round of applause afterwards, and she waited to reply to the next question.
“Greetings, my name is Elliot and my question to you ma’am is simple; seeing how women have been undermine in political affairs in the country, what do you have to say in regards to the younger women coming up and are interested in politics”
“My answer to them is simple, they should never give up no matter the circumstance. Hurdles will come your way, but your ability to scale and navigate yourself through them, is what determines how strong you are” Again, another round of applause gave effect to the answer she gave.
Tina noticed a rather much familiar face, and called on her escort to inform the young lady, that she would love to see her in private.
While doing so, she absentmindedly picked someone to ask a question and this question would soon be the beginning of a big problem.
“Greetings, my name is Judas and I am not asking a question but I am rather making a comment. Now I hope you understand that this is a political ground and not the kitchen, where you make food for the family” Tina was shocked and before he could continue, she simply stopped him and said.
“If you think you can by any chance, decide to discriminate a woman’s role in the society, then you are not for this place and i will kindly advice you leave” Again the whole crowd cheered on, supporting her decision and pushing away Judas from their midst as they found him to be a nuisance to the gathering.
