He can't leave, he's alive right", Ginevra askedShe was in a pitiful state, Venitia didn't know how to reply her."It's okay, just cry it out", Venitia said in a hushed tone.Ginevra slumped on Venitia's shoulder and allowed her tears flow freely without restriction.Venitia pulled her into a deep tight hug and stroked her hair as she cried on her shoulder Antonio's fingers moved again."Wa... water", He said in a barely audible voice"Huh,,,who just said that", Ginevra asked disengaging from Venitia."Uhm,,,no one said anything", Venitia replied with a weird look."No, I'm sure I heard someone asking for water", Ginevra said confidently."Oh...okay", Venitia said awkwardly and pulled Ginevra back into a hug.Ginevra rested her face on
Angelo hugged Antonio for a while. He was suffocating Antonio so Antonio pulled him away from himself."Can't I hug you again", Angelo pouted childishly."Does that mean you should suffocate me to death", Antonio snarled at him."It's just that I missed you", Angelo muttered"Stop behaving like a child. You're 26", Antonio scolded."You're so boring", Angelo scoffed."It feels good to see you again. How's Mr Simon", Antonio asked referring to Angelo's father."Dad is fine, he said I shouldn't come back unless you get better", Angelo saidAntonio simply smiled."That reminds me, I'll be leaving for London in an hour's time", Angelo informed"Why", "I have a mission to carry out", Angelo said.Just then, Luca and Venitia entered walking side by side with their hands interlocked.Antonio smiled seeing both of them but creased his brows when he saw their intertwined
Ginevra managed to get up and limped back to her room. No doubt, she was in pains.She finally landed in her room. Perla and Bianca smiled when they saw her but wore worried looks when they saw her limping.They rushed to her while Natasha scoffed. They helped her to her bed and made her sit."How did this happen to your leg", Perla asked"Uhm..i slipped and fell", Ginevra lied smoothly."Awww", Bianca sniffled."Are you crying", Ginevra asked with a confused expression."No" Bianca replied and wiped her tears."Oh..okay", Ginevra stuttered.She knew for sure Bianca was crying but decided not to push it further."So now that you're injured..",She was interrupted by Ginevra"It's not an injury", Ginevra said"Okay but you can't be serving the boss in this condition, someone has to fill in for you", Perla reasoned."I didn't think of that", Gine
Ginevra bid her parents goodbye and boarded a cab to Sweet F restaurant where she works. She grabbed a customized apron and put it on quickly. She started attending to the customers.Not long, Gia sneaked up on her and surprised her."Oh, I never knew you were the one, how was your night", Ginevra asked"It was more than lovely", Gia replied joyously. "Seems like you just won a lottery", Ginevra teased."It's more than a lottery", she said and raised her left hand revealing a gold ring on her middle finger. Ginevra gasped and held the hand with the ring on it."It's so beautiful,,,you're already engaged", Ginevra smiled, still admiring the ring. "Yes, he proposed to me yesterday evening", Gia said and retracted her hand gently."I'm so happy for you", Ginevra squealed, attracting the attention of the customers.

Antonio just finished with his morning workout and headed back to his suite to freshen up. But before he did that, he sent for Luca to get the reports of the exchange last night. Luca reported to his suite immediately. "Good morning boss", Luca bowed slightly. "Hmm,,,how did it go yesterday night,,,heard that Nico played his tricks again", Antonio said. "It went well,,,,we bagged 60 million naira home", Luca said and Antonio nodded."Okay,,,get dressed, we're leaving for the company in an hour", Antonio said and Luca made to open the door but stopped when he remembered something. "Lest I forget, we brought a young girl,,,we're suspecting she's part of Nico's gang", Luca said.Antonio stopped what he was doing and looked at Luca. "Where's she", Antonio asked. "She's in the dark room, awaiting your judgement", Luca replied"I'll take care of that when we come back but right now we have to be in the company." Antonio said and stepped into the b

She went to Antonio's office to call him "Everyone is already in the conference room Sir", Gina saidAntonio hummed shortly with a curt nod. He walked out of his office with Gina following him at the back.Immediately he stepped into the conference room, the people murmuring stopped and the place became as silent as a graveyard.Antonio looked around and made sure everyone was present before he took his seat."I think y'all know
"Aurora", he muttered the name he dreaded the most."Huh", Ginevra said with a confused lookAntonio stood and asked angrily "What are you doing here". "Sorry to say but I'm not Aurora and I was captured by some men and I found myself here", Ginevra said"Why are you lying", Antonio yelled making Ginevra to flinch a bit. "I'm not", she saidLuca was confused. She did look a lot like Aurora something in him tells him she's not Aurora."How dare you stand before me and still lie", Antonio growled. He dashed towards her and in the blink of an eye, he was already strangling her with his hands."Leave me I'm not Aurora", Ginevra managed to say. "Lies", Antonio growled harshlyLuca snapped out of his thoughts only to find Antonio choking Ginevra. He raised her above the ground and pinned her against the wall.Ginevra's face was already red, her lips were patted but no single word came out of em."What do you think
Antonio arrived at the clan feeling extremely tired and hungry. He frowned when he entered his suite and he didn't see food anywhere.He sent for Luca immediately. "Boss you sent for me", Luca said. "Why's my dinner not served by this time", he asked"Sorry boss, Ginevra Is the one in charge of that", Luca replied. Antonio seemed to be lost in thoughts before he came out of it. "Isn't that the sharp mouthed girl", he asked and Luca replied with a nod."Why hasn't she brought my meal by this time", Antonio asked. "I'll tell her to do that now", Luca said. "How will she do that quickly, i want to eat before 8pm. That means she has only thirty minutes", Antonio saidLuca went to relay the message. He got to the room Ginevra stays but he didn't see her there. Instead he saw Perla so he decided to tell her. "If Ginevra comes back, tell her that boss needs his dinner in the next thirty minutes and she should not be late", Luca said and left.
