Chapter ♡ 22

2 months later

Gio's Pov (Italy)

"Don, it's been two months and there still isn't a trace of them" my right-hand man, Ivan stated as he sat down in the chair in front of me.

"Fvck!!" I slammed my hand on the desk getting up and walking to the window.

"I'm beginning to think someone else is helping them hide, there is no way they can vanish just like that. Do you think the Albanian's are involved?" he asked pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"Why do you think that?" I turned to him.

"The woman" he snapped his fingers trying to remember her name before opening the folder he had "Ah, Annalise? She's a Leka by marriage, I assume she doesn't use the surname for her safety" he stated handing me the folder.

She was married to Lorik Leka.

"What? Shit!!" I exclaimed storming out of the office to my father's study. Pushing the door open, I stormed inside.

"Why wasn't I aware that Lorik was married before carrying out the execution?" I asked him with a scowl

"You didn't need to know" he shrugged taking a sip from his glass.

"Wasn't necessary? His fvcking wife is after Monae!!"

"Don't speak to your father like that Giovanni, have you no respect?" mother asked sounding appalled as she entered the room.

" He lost my respect when he killed my unborn child, the only reason he's still breathing is because of you" I growled out.

"I told you that woman was not fit to carry the future heir of the Costa Empire, she was weak and was making you weak too. It was quite pathetic" he smirked, and I resisted the urge to shoot him where he sat.

"Gio" a hand on my shoulder stopped my movements and I looked down to realize my gun was already drawn. Glancing at my father who sat with a raised eyebrow, I placed it back in my waist and turned around.

"If anything happens to her, you'll face my wrath," I told him before walking out.

"Get the jet ready Ivan" I stated, heading to Val's room.

Monae's Pov

It's been two months since I've been discharged from the hospital and there isn't any sign of Amir or the others. Things have been going great so far between Nasir and me, we've gotten to know each other more, we're having dinner at his place tonight.

Looking at myself in the mirror once more, I grabbed my purse heading out the room.

"Oooh girlll, look at you. Nasir is going to eat you up!!" Ryah exclaimed causing me to blush.

"You look amazing Mo" Cairo complimented also.

"Thank you, but why are the two of you here again?"

"Because your house has food and Cairo is too lazy to cook for me" she pouted pelting him with the cushion.

"I can't keep up with your appetite Ry" he laughed.

"Just make sure she doesn't cook lee, you know she can't boil water" I laughed heading for the door.

Nasir's Pov

"Nasir can you stop pacing, you're giving me a headache" mara smirked looking at me "The worst that can happen is you give her food poisoning" she laughed as I rolled my eyes.

"Amara, leave your brother alone, he's already nervous, we don't want him adding the wrong ingredient to the pot" ma stated, and they both began laughing.
