Chapter Thirty Three
“What I mean is the fact that Micheal and I were shot but thanks to the substance we had injected into our system prior before the shot, we survived” Lucifer opened one end of his button to reveal where he had taken the bullets
“So what happened to Bianca?”
“Well about her, it turns out that Amore had her all along. I can’t say much but all I know is they are not on good terms at the moment. Do you know that Bianca slapped the crap out of Giovanni in the round table meeting?” Viola was shocked by this.
“No fucking way! You mean Bianca; sweet, loving Bianca, slapped Giovanni in the face before the presence of every member of the Elites?” Lucifer nodded his head to validate what he had said.
“And it turns out that Giovanni is also seeing a girl name Imade”
“What type of madness is going on in New York City though? I mean it is barely three years since I left!” Lucifer chuckled
“A Lot had really changed since you left indeed”

“Greetings Madam ” Priscilla groaned in frustration, she was fed up with the daily calls she was receiving from Brown.
“Why do you keep bugging my life though?”
“I will have you know ma’am that I don’t usually disturb my clients but in your case, you seem to be trying to play a fast one on me which I detest a lot” Brown stated
“I told you before Brown, I will send you the cash!!” Priscilla spoke rather loudly
“The last time I checked, you assured me that I would get my money a day after I had executed my job and here we are still talking about transactions”
“Listen to me Brown, I am getting irritated by your antics. Don’t spoil the good reputation you have with me, because I tend to lose respect for people who deserves it” Priscilla warned
“Funny how I was about to say the same to you. Here is my last warning to you Priscilla, I would be waiting for my payment in twenty four hours else, I will have the elitist do something drastic to your family’s business” Brown threatened
“You won’t dare me” Priscilla spoke but before she could continue, he hung up. She felt like screaming in frustration. She had totally forgotten about Brown since the last time they had a deal until this moment. She had six million dollars to pay but she was not willing to give him that huge amount. An idea popped up in her head; she would rather see his end than pay. She took up the phone, and made a call across.
“Hello Zeus”

Bianca spent a good time with her parents before returning back home later in the evening. When she arrived, Amore was not home yet. She remembered he mentioned to her that he would be coming to have his ‘desert’ which in this case happens to be her.
Bianca had a contingency plan, and decided to act on it. She intended to sedate his food so he could doze off.
When Amore came he walked straight to the bedroom to meet up with Bianca and was surprised to see her dressed in some Victoria secret clothes.
“Someone got me to wake up from this dream” Amore indicated, trying to convince himself it is all a dream.
“It’s not a dream babe, it’s me” Bianca spoke in a seductive tone, making him go hard. He dropped his briefcase on the floor, began to unbuckled his belts, his clothes and other accessories he wore.
“Before we get down to business, why don’t we have a glass of champagne” Bianca got up from the bed and went to the table, got two glass from the table and handed one to Amore and she too the other
“What are we making a toast to?” Amore asked, smiling from ear to ear. Bianca poured the drink into his own glass and then unto hers.
“We are making a toast to you, for being the best version of a man that any lady could possibly wish for” Their glass clicked and Bianca made sure she didn’t drink hers as the entire drink was sedated.
After Amore was done, Bianca decided to give him some little bit of fun before he dozed off. She approached him and carefully removed his clothing and crashed her lips into his. Pushing him onto the bed, she approached him seductively and climbed on top and began kissing him.
Few minutes later, Bianca smiled satisfactorily; Amore had dozed off on the bed. She was surprised that the sedative had worked just perfectly. She left the room and let him sleep. She went to his room; checked through his files; she was looking for the Lexicon file.
Bianca had eavesdropped on his conversation in time past and overheard him speaking about how important the file meant to him. It contained the secret of the Elite’s family, their business model both in the underground world and in the outer world. According to what she had deduced, any Mafia group would pay billions of dollars to get their hands on the file.
She checked the safe and found nothing, she checked every inch of his room but couldn’t find anything just yet. Bianca knew Amore was smart enough to keep it away from prying eyes but she needed to get a hold of it. Once she had the documents in his possession, she was certain that her next line of action would surface. Suddenly, Bianca jolted up when the sound of telephone ringing filled the room. She hadn’t noticed Amore had telephones before now and so decided to pick the call.
“Greetings sir, Maria on the line. I wish to inform you that the goods you ordered from Canada would be arriving this evening. Your signature would be required to serve as a proof of delivery” Bianca dropped the device. She didn’t want Amore knowing she had come to his room else he would suspect there is something she was up to.
While she was searching his wardrobe, Bianca found a memory card in one of his pockets and kept it with her. Whatever was in that memory card meant alot to Amore. She checked other clothing to see if the file was there but found nothing.
Bianca was almost giving up on the search when her instinct was drawn to the bathroom and so she decided to go check. This is ridiculous! She thought to herself after searching for a while. There was no way that Amore would have kept such a file in the bathroom, at least that’s what she believed.
She decided to abandon the search and go check out the content of the memory card she had found in his pocket. She had made sure to put enough sedatives that would make him sleep for a very long time.
She decided to check the content using Amore’s laptop; she knew his password because he had in one of their intimate moments told her about it. After inserting the memory card in the appropriate section, the icon appeared on the screen and she decided to click on the icon. A video? Being the curious person she was, Bianca clicked on the play button and the footage happened to be a record from CCTV.
Bianca’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing the activities in the footage. This was perhaps her key to getting out of the snares of Amore. She would never believe in a thousand years that what she was viewing could be orchestrated by one person.
Priscilla.

When Amore woke up, he was surprised to see himself dressed in his tuxedo. He checked by his side to see Bianca still sleeping. What happened last night? He tried to recall but he could not place a picture.
“Bianca?” He tapped her gently.
“Yeah?” Bianca answered by rubbing her eyes off the sleep “Good morning darling” she said after she was fully awake.
“What happened?”
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“I mean how did I end up in your bed, still fully dressed?” Bianca smiled inwardly.
“You informed me that we were going to have sex remember? But it seemed you were too tired last night that you dozed off before you could commence” Bianca watched the confused look that Amore had on his face.
“But I didn’t overwork myself at the office. Precisely, I was sure I intended to have a good time last night” Amore recalled, while scratching his head.
“I thought otherwise though; I mean I have always wanted to tell you this but you overwork yourself alot” Bianca indicated.
“Yeah I know and that is why I will be taking breaks next week. I will have quality time to spend with you my love” He was about kissing her when his phone rang.
“Yes Maria?” He picked with a bored tone.
“Missing?” Amore’s body stiffened upon hearing certain information.
“I will be in the office soon” He informed her and looked at Bianca with the shock written on his face
“What is it babe?” Bianca asked.
“The Lexicon file has been stolen” Bianca could not believe it! Who would have beaten her to the file? She asked herself. Does it mean that the file wasn’t in the house like she had presumed it would be?
“How did it go missing?” She asked him with a genuine reaction of worry written.
“I don’t know but I intend to find out” Amore stood up from the bed and gathered his accessories and headed out to his room.
Bianca went into deep thought; she could not believe that someone had located the file so easily while she had a hard time looking for it. Bearing in mind the situation, she knew she had to change plans. With the new revelation she had seen from the footage, she won’t be needing the file any more.
