Mr Mafia and Me

Chapter 14

The ride to the court house was quiet. Giovanni pulled me into the middle seat so he could have his hand on my thigh. He seemed more tense than normal. He doesn't do well seeing me sad. I pulled out my phone to text Shayla.

Text

Me- Hey. You've been gone and a lot has happened. I'm heading to the court house now to finalize my divorce to Rhett. Meet for dinner?

Shayla- Oh my goodness! I'm sorry I haven't been here for you. Most definitely will I be there. Where at?

Me- Just know I moved out with Nova. We are living with my friend Giovanni. This is his address. Be there by 6. Love you. *sends address.*

The text message bubbles pop up, then disappear. Shayla always supported me, and now I needed that more than ever. She would be happy, wouldn't she? I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard Nicks voice.

"Sir we are 3 minutes away." He said with out taking his eyes off the road. Hearing this I knew I needed to scoot to the seat and out space between us. I started to move and Giovanni stopped me. I turn to him as he grabs both sides of my face and kisses me. He pulls back and smiles.

"Now you can move away." He said flirty with a wink. I blush and smile back before finally moving away. We both hear Amelia giggle easily at what she just saw. I look in the front seats to see both Nick and Leo smiling. Then finally looking at Giovanni who is looking out the window nervously. This was fixing to be hard.

We pull up to the court house and then Nick and Leo get out of the car. Opening both doors for us to get out. Nick offers his arms to me as we walk up the stairs. Giovanni must have spoke to him before we left seeing he was being so helpful. Probably so Giovanni didn't try to interfere. We enter the doors and meet right up with my lawyer.

"Morgan it's a pleasure. Same to you Mr. Corvito." Mr. Smith says as he shakes each of our hands. Mr. Smith is speaking to Giovanni about how this was all going to work out when I hear someone scoff. Amelia and I were the only ones to hear it as our head both turn to the scoff. Sure enough it was Rhett, his lawyer, and Matt. His lawyer looked at me up and down like I was so kind of object. His face turned red realizing he was caught, so he led both men to the court room. I turned back to see Giovanni glaring at his every move. He's already not doing well.

"Was the one with blonde or brown hair Rhett?" I hear Amelia whisper in my ear. I turn to whisper back to her.

"The blonde is Rhett. The brown hair is his friend Matt, who is also supposed to be one of Giovanni's workers." I pull away to see her shocked face.

"You are for sure leveling up babe." Amelia smiled at me.

"Alright ladies. Time to go in." Mr. Smith said just loud enough to get our attention.

We walked in the court room and surprisingly it was only us and the judge. Mr. Smith must have relayed who I was with today. Mr. Smith and I walk up to our side as Giovanni and the rest of them sit behind us.

Most of the court went by easily. Rhett agreed to take the house and dogs, I got the items I wanted, now was about custody of our daughter.

"Your honor, my client would like to have even split custody. 50/50." Rhett's lawyer said to the judge. That made my heart stop and get a tad light headed. It's not that I think Rhett is a bad dad, it's the thought of not having my baby all the time. I take a quick glance back to see Giovanni's hands in fists and his sister holding his shoulder. I couldn't deny that Giovanni loved my daughter.

"What does the other party have to say?" The judge looking towards us.

"Due to recent activities and phone calls my client has been getting, we are looking more at Morgan having their daughter Sunday night through Friday day, and then Rhett having her Friday night through Sunday day." Mr. Smith stood tall as he laid the offer down.
