Her Mafia Lord

CHAPTER Eighty One

When Lucifer opened his eyes, the sound of the beeping monitor irked him so much that he felt like destroying the object.

When he turned around, he came face to face with Viola and Micheal, both looking worried.

“You are awake” Viola mentioned and hugged him. “Don’t ever do this to me again” She begged as she had tears flowing down her eyes.

“It’s good to see you back man” Micheal mentioned after Viola had released him from the hug and sat beside him.

“What happened?” Lucifer asked with a hoarsed voice.

“Apparently, they had implanted a bomb in our car and Dave had shot the car, causing it to explode” Micheal explained.

“And Tina?” Lucifer asked

“She is home safe” Micheal said. They all went into comfortable silence for a minute, before a thought struck Lucifer’s mind.

“Wait, you said the bomb exploded right?” Micheal nodded his head in affirmative.

“Why aren’t you hurt? I mean there was no way you could have escaped the scorching heat of the car” Lucifer admitted.

“Because I planted the bomb in the car” Before Lucifer could fathom what his partner was saying, he felt blood splattered all over his face and on his bed. He looked up to see Viola, staring at him, holding up her chest and was spilling out blood.

“No!” Lucifer shouted, turning to look at Micheal, who had shot her.

“Why?” Lucifer asked, holding up the lifeless body of his partner up in his hands. “You betrayed me, and certainly you have betrayed the trust that Giovanni has for you”

“I was never about the trust nor the loyalty. I was about the money amd clearly I got a bigger pay from Amore and I couldn’t help but take the job even though I knew it would be hurting my friend” Micheal said, holding up the same pistol and pointing it towards Giovanni, a smile on his face. “You know how much I will be paid when I eventually go back to meet Amore? Well, alot of money will be raining on my account. I guess this is the end of the road for you friend” Before Lucifer could react, two rounds of bullet graced his chest area and he fell down to the bed unconscious.

Once Micheal was done shooting, he looked at his victims and smiled satisfactorily. The love birds were finally out of the picture for good.

It was late at night and Dr. Raven was still in his company working at late hours, when he heard a knock at his door. He was surprised to know that someone was knocking at his door at a very late hour.

He was certain that he wouldn’t see any unfriendly faces as he had ensured that his security was tight enough. He stood up from his chair and approached the door to open it. Once the door was opened, he came face to face with a very unfamiliar face.

“Greetings Dr. Raven” Buddy smiled happily at the man.

“Who are you?” Dr. Raven asked, adjusting his glass.

“It’s quite unfortunate that you are saying you don’t know me nor anything about me. I will be precise with the introduction; My name is Buddy and i am the presidential aspirant for the forthcoming election to be held” Buddy indicated.

“Listen pal, if you are here to talk politics, then I suggest you leave. By the way, how did you even got to this place. My security system could have informed me of your coming” Dr. Rave spoke more to himself than Buddy.

“I have my ways of doing things Dr. Raven. So, mind if I come in?” Buddy asked making gesture the seats.

“Sure, sure” Dr. Raven said, stepping aside for the man to step in.

“I must say Dr. Raven, this place is meticulously neat” Buddy said, admiring the entire structure and scenery of the office.

“What can I offer you”

“Oh, don’t bother. I would not be staying much longer” Buddy stated before taking his seat comfortably.

“So, what can I help you with? And before you say anything, I need you to understand that if it is about politics, I am not interested” Buddy laughed at the man’s reaction when mentioning politics.

“Don’t worry Dr. Raven, I am not here to discuss about Politics. I am here on the other hand to enquire about something that has been bothering me for the past few days now” Dr. Raven adjusted his seat and leaned closer to hear him out.

“Your lineage” Dr. Raven raised one eye, staring at Buddy in confusion. There was no way he was talking about his historical background.

“And what does my historical background has to do with your ambition for presidency?” Dr. Raven asked.

“There are things your forefathers told your father and he had certainly told you. I am here to prey out the information” Dr. Raven had heard enough of Buddy’s gibberish and so, stoop up to get the door open, to usher him out.

“Please kindly leave my office” Dr. Raven said, pointing towards the outside environment.

“You know I am speaking the truth. Your ancestors, know the secret key to eliminating the Elites” Buddy stated, staring at Dr. Raven

“And what if i actually know it?” Dr. Raven asked questioning Buddy, who stood up to his feet and approached the door.

“Don’t push me to the wall Dr. Raven. I will be back in one weeks time and I would want all the details on how the Elites were formed, your ancestors was the one who suggested it to the Elijahs” Buddy finished off, before leaving. After he was gone, Dr. Raven closed his door and sighed for a brief moment.

“That was awkward” he said and went back to work.

********

It has been three days since the incident Tina had escaped from and she was eager to know, what had become of Lucifer and Micheal.

Today, she was headed for a meeting with the president. She had been looking for a way to set the meeting out but Rondon had been giving her numerous excuses that weren’t pleasant to her ear.

When she arrived that the presidential suite, she was ushered into the president’s office. Rondon had just finished speaking to the WHO chairman on phone, when Tina entered the room.

“Ah! Look who we have here, Miss Tina Marco” Tina was particularly irked about the fact that he was using her surname.

“You are becoming hard to reach Mr. President” Tina stated, taking up her seat at the table.

“Apologies, if I had hurt your feelings” Rondon commented, taking his seat also.

“That’s the interesting thing about me; my feelings cannot be easily hurt” Tina admitted.

“So, why have you been meaning to see me” A clasped hands and intent look, Rondon listened to Tina.

“I am here, so we can discuss plans on how you are going to endorse me as President” Rondon looked at her for a moment, and burst out laughing.

“Did you took a degree in comedy because you my dear are a joker” Rondon stated, earning a glare from Tina, who didn’t find anything amusing about what she had said.

“I am actually being serious and you are taking me for a joke?” Tina asked.

“Listen here young lady, what you are asking for is pretty impossible! It’s just like saying you need a unicorn as a Christmas president” Rondon admitted.

“Then you loose your credibility as President, within thid few months left!” Tina stated.

“Are you threatning me young lady? I will have you know that I am no just ordinary person, you are speaking to the president of the United States” Buddy tried to remind her “I can still mess you up regardless of whether or not you belong to the Elites'”

“You are only but capping Rondon, I don’t have time for your incessant talks and so, I am going to be articulate as possible; get me the endorsement I so desire, or stand a chance to loose your credibility at the seat and also with the Elite” Tina rose to her feet and was about heading out, when Rondon called her for a moment.

“Let me say this real quick young lady, you are playing with fire and I need you to understand that It will consume you if you are not careful” Tina looked at Rondon for a moment, and chuckled before leaving.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
