Chapter Ninety Two
Buddy released himself from the bosom of the girls, he was having a fun time with. For a moment he was speechless, imagining the numerous asset that had been destroyed from the warehouse.
“What sort of joke is this?” He asked, hoping it was just a mere humour.
“Boss, this isn’t any joke. The warehouse is in total ruins as we speak. All the cokes have been destroyed.” The cup he held in his hand fell to the floor, causing the girls behind him to gasp out in shock at the act.
“Who had the balls to do this?” Buddy asked, his hands folded in fists.
“We have no suspect, but the boys are already trying to investigate.” The Intel replied.
“Alright listen to me carefully. I want you to find who did this and make sure you out a bullet through their brains!” He yelled the last words, before hanging up.
Buddy sat back down on the couch and just when the girls could resume their duties, he yelled out at them and they all scrambled away out of fear. Thinking through what his Intel had just told him, his first suspect was Tina.
She was all out to prove a statement and this meant that he needed to act with speed of he ever wished to match her act. Buddy knew deep within that he could not handle Tina. There was only one person, who had Tina’s number and that was Amore.
Quickly, he picked up his phone and searched through his contact list in a bid to get Amorw’s number. It ringed for a few moment, before Amore picked up.
“Hey, please I need your help. You need to come to my place right now, it is very urgent.” Amore didn’t say a word and hung up. Buddy groaned in frustration as the hard nerve hitting truth struck him in the face; Amore might still be angry with him due to the out burst they had barely days ago.
An hour gone, Buddy heard a knock by the door and for a moment he hesitated, but went to get the door. He was surprised to see Amore.
“I was beginning to think you wouldn’t call.” Amore said with a smirk on his face, before stepping into the mansion.
“Look, I am in serious trouble right now.” Buddy said, after closing the door and having to come take his seat on the couch. Amore was already on a glass of wine, which was on the table.
“You must be really crazy to think I will help you, after that outburst of yours.” Buddy sigh knowing Amore was never going to forget about it.
“Listen man, I already told you I fucked up, and I am sorry for the stupid mistake. What more do you want?” Amore chuckled, taking yet another sip from the glass cup. “You see the problem with you my friend is that you are too egoistical and I forgot to add, a megalomaniac.” He dropped the cup, sat upright and stared down at Buddy.
“Barely two days of my absence, you had your warehouse; a big asset of yours destroyed. This goes to show how vulnerable you are without me. Regardless of what you will become later on, I am going to still remain the master strategist.” Buddy knew Amore was speaking facts, but he hated that the young man had to rub it in his face that way.
“Look Amore, I am sorry and yes I admit I was wrong to have yelled out you that way. I wasn’t thinking straight.” Amore smiled knowing he finally achieved his aim; making Buddy realize how guilty he is.
“Alright then, I will help you on this one and subsequently, if you by chance attempt to disgrace me again….” Amore gave him a hard stare, you won’t only regret it, you could loose your life.” Buddy swallowed a huge lump. This was the first time anyone would seemingly intimidate him.

Giovanni didn’t expect anything to have changed since the last time he was at Tina’s mansion. If there is anything his fated cousin sister love, was a good silent environment and Giovanni was slowly attesting to that fact. Tina had purposely chosen the outskirt of New York City, as the place to build up her mansion and it was indeed a perfect choice.
Stepping out of his mustang, the only noises that could be heard were the sounds of the chirping birds and Giovanni was sure Tina would be home alone.
He pressed the door bell and for a moment there was a footstep and the door opened up. Tina was still dressed up in her night gown; a reminder she hadn’t stepped out since morning, despite noon slowly crawling it’s way to the fast paced day.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Never thought you would come visiting?” Tina admitted as Giovanni sat down on his couch, shutting his eyes close for a minute, before opening them.
“A glass of water? Wine?” Tina asked, staring at her brother. He refused and she sat back on her couch, still not shifting her gaze away from him.
“The election comes in three weeks. I haven’t seen any visible plans from you dear sister. Amore and Buddy would easily outclass you, if you don’t do anything.” Tina had a magazine on her lap. She picked it up and began flipping through the pages, forcing Giovanni to stare at her in disbelief.
“I am speaking serious issue here and you are reading a Johnny Huldton magazine!” Giovanni asked in amazement.
“That’s because you are not making sense with your speech.” Giovanni was confused. “What do you mean I am not making sense with my speech. I am letting you know the situation of things in ground right now! Buddy is making huge moves. I am pretty sure you have seen the Bishop’s announcement on television.” Tina sighed, pulling a glass from the corner and a bottle of martell. Something that Giovanni didn’t envisage.
“Listen dear brother. Life is too short, you have to find a means to have inner peace and rest.” She pulled the bottle open and poured out some of the content on the glass. “You have to understand that all through the week, I have been working tirelessly and endlessly to ensure that my victory at the forth coming election is secured. You are the only one presuming nothing has been happening. Alot has been happening Giovanni but you are too busy, finding means to get the love of your life back.” Tina teased.
“And the Bishop? What plans do you have for him?” Again, Giovanni asked, sipping the glass of Martell.
“The Bishop wouldn’t have compromise on his words, except something along the line happen. I will pay him a visit and find out what happened. In the mean time, how is it going with Bianca? I believe you should have come out with something by now?” Giovanni gave an expressionless look at Tina for a moment and this made the latter confused.
“Don’t you worry dear sister, I have the plan all sorted out. I am just waiting for Amore to take the bait.” Giovanni said with an evil smirk. Over the night he had come out with a devious plan and knew the exact way to get Bianca out of his step brother’s hand.

It was night time already, and when most people had gone to sleep, Tina was dressed in a black robe, which had a good on top. She had fixed an appointment with the Bishop and wws heading for the cathedral.
When she arrived, she instructed her escorts to stay behind, while she go talk with the bishop.
Everywhere was dark as she walked up to the alter, where she knelt down and stared at the cross of Christ.
“Miss Tina, when I heard that you wanted to see me, at first I had thought it was about the political chaos going on. My intentions were never to come but then again, my name has been ruined and i have nothing to loose.” The bishop had arrived from his office to see her on the Alter.
“Seeing you lay down before the Alter, I believe you have something heavy on your mind, allow that man up there ease your burden for you” He pointed up to the cross.
“Bishop, I am at that stage of my life, where I don’t want to be weak, but I can’t stand it seeing the numerous situation ongoing. I have been told to my face that Buddy will defeat me in the forth coming election. Sometimes, I act like it is not a big deal, but it is a really big one”
“Miss Tina, I need you to understand that I have nothing to do with politics but the best thing I can offer you is Christ. He will be the one to redeem your image. But first, you must offer your confession before you can be approriately cleansed”
“Alright then, Bishop I am here to confess my sins” the bishop smiled satisfied, over the fact that Tina was finally being the person he wanted her to be. A good ambassador for Christ.
