Chapter 7

• CHAPTER Seven
• Morning came quite swift than Bianca had expected. She rose from the bed and the first thought that flew to her mind was how she would be able to go back to school. She had fully come to terms with the fact that she would be staying with Giovanni for most probably the rest of her life, that doesn't changed the fact that she still didn't need to go to school. After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, Bianca stepped down from her king size bed and head out the room. The door hadn't been fixed by Giovanni and it left her wondering what sort pyscho she would be living with.
• Giovanni was going through his phone, while eating his breakfast. He had woken up quite late and it was due to the fact that he had been working all night long. He suddenly felt a presence and when he looked up, Bianca stood in her night gown staring down at her feet; a sign that could only mean she was still nervous around him.
• "Good to see you are awake Bianca." Bianca raised her head up and looked at Giovanni. For some odd reason, she didn't know why she was particularly scared of him. It could be due to his status, which she feared made her nothing but an object of death in the eyes of his enemies or the scene that would forever stick to her head about Giovanni killing another person in the restaurant.
• "Good Morning." She finally summoned the courage to speak. Giovanni pulled a chair close to him and placed his hands, indicating she could have a seat. Bianca walked slowly towards the seat and sat gracefully afterwards. "Care for a tea.... Never mind, I guess I can make one for you." Bianca was quick to stop him. "I am not willing to drink tea yet, I just wanted to discuss something quite important." Giovanni dropped the mug cup and placed his full concentration on her.
• "Before coming to your mansion, I usually go to school. I am the type that loves taking my education really serious and to prove this, I have been taking online courses despite being restrained sometimes from going to school." Giovanni could see the look of sadness that filled her face.
• "So what do you want?" He asked. "To go back to school, I want to continue with my education. This is all I seek for." Giovanni could not only see the desperation in her eyes, she also had a look of motivation, something that sparked his interest.
• "Very well then, you will continue school. Like I said last night, I am not those type of men who seeks nothing but sex from you. I will always support you." Bianca's heart was filled with smiles. She was slowly beginning to think if her abduction was not a blessing in disguise. Giovanni got up from the chair, adjusted his tie.
• "I will speak to your school's councilor about the semester you have missed, I am pretty sure it can be covered up." Bianca nodded and with that, Giovanni gave her a slight tap at the back, before heading out of the room.

• Giovanni stared through the long express road filled with cars and sea of heads walking through the road pavement. His thoughts were far from what his sights were beholding. Apparently, he had gotten a call from his father to have lunch with him and being the first child, he couldn't refuse the meal.
• When he arrived at his father's mansion, Giovanni chuckled seeing the new architectural design his father had opted to use in redesigning his house. When he got out of his car, he saw his father standing by the entrance with his body guards beside him. Marco had a slight smirk on his face, seeing his son step up and bow slightly before him.
• "Age hasn't quite caught up with you my son.....Goodness gracious, what is this you have on your face?" Marco asked referring to the mouthstache Giovanni had grown months ago. "I would rather you grow your beards out to look like a perfect gentleman than you having whiskies like a pussy cat." Marco had a good sense of humor, but even Giovanni knew that nothing amuses his father.
• "I got your text and I decided to show up Father." He said ignoring his father's comment totally. "Ah yes. Seeing as it has been almost six months since we last sticker together, I thought it would be nice to have dinner with my son." Giovanni shook his head and Marco ushered him into the living room.
• "...Look who has grown all huge." Giovanni forced himself not to roll his eyes at the sight of Priscilla. They haven't been in the best terms possible and it all started the moment Marco chose to take a second wife. Apparently, Giovanni's mother had been killed while he was a teenager and after a year of mourning, Giovanni was forced to see his mother replaced with another woman, who apparently is Marco's concubine. "Good to see you too Priscilla." He said, faking a smile at her.
• They all head to the dinning table, where pasta had been served for lunch; a dish most Italian families would always love to take.
• "So tell me Giovanni, how is the business going?" Marco decided to initiate a conversation. "Well for starters, Silvano is dead and as for the other business, we have expanded the ware houses across the whole of Texas, which is a good thing as the elite is now a force to reckon with." Marco had a smile on his face hearing those words from his son.
• "I haven't been more proud, knowing I did the right thing by handing over the activities of the table to you my son." Priscilla looked uncomfortable, hearing those words from Marco and Giovanni noticed it.
• "How is my step brother?" Giovanni directed his question to Priscilla after seeing her uncomfortable. "Well for starters Amore is doing pretty well in his oil business, I guess you were too busy to see that he has built an empire in the oil industry." Giovanni noticed the subliminal sarcasm, but chose to ignore it.
• "So Giovanni, when do you intend bringing home a suitable bride? I mean you will be thirty next week and it will be a shame if you haven't found a woman to settle with." Giovanni knew that part of the reason for the lunch date was to enquire about his marital status and he was willing to give the perfect reply. "Father, while I understand your point that it is obviously high time I settle down and get a perfect bride, I still believe I am in the search process. I have a girlfriend at the moment." Giovanni lied. He needed to shield the topic away at all cost and despite lying, he knew his father was most likely going to ask for proof.
• "I am so proud of you son. Show me her picture." Giovanni smiled at the accuracy of his predication. He pulled out a phone and checked through the gallery. He found Bianca's picture and showed it to his father. "My goodness! She is such a beauty." Marco exclaimed, showing the photo to Priscilla, who was also impressed as well.
• "When do you intend bringing her to see me?" Marco asked handing over the phone back to Giovanni. "Father, don't you think it's a little bit too early to start asking such serious questions?" Giovanni asked.
• "Nothing is too late son. It's either you are being serious with her or she is just another fling of yours." Giovanni wasn't taken it likely, hearing his father place Bianca in such manner. "If you are being serious with her, then you have to prove it son." Marco added, seeing how his son's countenance has changed.
• "Father, when the right time come, you can be assured you will get to meet her." Giovanni added and they all returned back to eating. "That reminds me, Shrevolsky has been on the rampage once again, I trust you should know what to do with him?" Giovanni sighed knowing how the Russian was becoming much of a nuisance.
• "I guess we will have to increase the wages. Our clients from China and Japan cannot be lost, they are literally our greatest weapon." Giovanni explained to his father who clearly understood what his son was talking about.
• "Remember son, no matter what happens we do not get on Shrevolsky bad side." Giovanni smiled and his gaze suddenly fell on Priscilla, who looked quite displeased. Giovanni was certain that she was still pissed about the fact that Amore wasn't added into family table. "I will take my leave now, I believe my appetite is full." Priscilla said, standing up to her feet, while Marco watched with curiosity. "You know son, I certainly hope that one day she would come to the realization that i clearly did what was best for the family. Your uncles will ask the questions about the whole situation, something I am not willing to have a reply to just yet." Giovanni said no words as he didn't want to come out rude with the several things he chose to speak but kept in silence. He could only hope that one day, things do not escalate between them all.

• When Bianca got out of the limousine that had conveyed her all the way from Giovanni's mansion, back to school, she was anxious seeing the several eyes that fell upon her. Bianca had insisted that she stepped into the school on foot, but Giovanni had totally refused.
• "My goodness! Bianca?" She turned around and Daisy rushed over to meet her friend. She was absolutely speechless, seeing the transformation her friend had underwent. "You are literally the talk of the school at the moment." She commented.
• "I understand and i totally hate it." She said while she picked up her books from the locker. "Well, well, well, who do we have here." Bianca sighed, while she slowly turned around to face her worst night mare. Imade and her minions stared with smirk on their faces. "The buzz going around were true! According to what I was told, you stepped out of a limousine. Such a wild upgrade." Imade walked closer to meet Bianca, but Diasy was quick to intercept her. "Anyways, I just want you to know that you can enjoy your mini pleasurable moment, because it would be taken away soon." She finished off, glaring at Daisy, before leaving the hall.
• "Don't give any fuck about what she has said. I am glad you are slowly living a good life. But then again, how did this all happen? I mean I have been worried not seeing you for over a week now and then you show up in this luxury? What's the secret?" Daisy asked and just before Bianca could give a reply, someone came into their view.
• Bianca looked up and the one bully she had always hated aside Imade was staring at her with a smirk on the face. Apparently Romeo was one of the few guys in the school that totally derived pleasures in hurting Bianca. "Someone is slowly getting a life, I am quite impressed." He walked slowly over to Bianca but Daisy was quick to pull out a pepper spray. "Do you really think that thing would stop me from instigating the plan I have in mind? You have to think again darling." He shoved Daisy aside and dragged Bianca by the hair. While Bianca struggled to get free, Daisy was yelling through the hall way for help, but no one would opt out to help.
• Romeo took Bianca into the rest room and placed her on the wall, holding her by the neck. "I have waited for this moment. You have been particularly on my radar and I would not rest till I have sex with you." While he tried to kiss her, she pulled away and Romeo forcefully pulled her back and crashed his lips unto her. The moment would only last for a mere seconds as he was pulled away with force.
• When Bianca opened her eyes, she gasped seeing the man standing right in front of her. "No one takes what is mine." Giovanni said with gritted teeth.
