His greatest love.

Chapter 22.

Gio watched as the bodies of the soldiers were lined up in front of him as the merchandise was being loaded to the trucks.

"That fucking Santos is really pushing it!!!" Gio said silently as Matteo joined him.

"He's getting too close Gio," Matteo said silently.

"I know."

"How much information did that two face bitch even give him?!"

"You tell me... She was your weak link!!"

"How was I supposed to know the woman was a spy??!!"

"You've been in this business long enough to realize you don't trust everyone!!!"

"Oh okay now it's my fault??!"

"How many people have been compromised??"

"I've checked she was alone."

"Double check!!!"

"I did!!!"

"Then triple check!!! If we didn't catch on to this stupid plan right now we'd both be dead!!!"

"But we aren't!!!"

"And I am not willing to take that risk again!! So triple check with our team replace them if necessary, I don't care just fix this!!"

"Are you mad at me or the fact that your doctor hasn't texted you back? " Matteo said going through his phone missing the cold glance Gio gave him.

He knew he wasn't wrong I mean, she's literally not talking to him and that solidifies his irritation to anything. He knows he has to be in a clear headspace but even his mind can't stop wondering with the what ifs. He knows she's at home but why doesn't she want to talk to him?? The thought of Santos trying to force himself back into her life was enough to catastrophically elevate his temper.

"Are you fuckers done or you're still whining like little bitches!!" Gio said angrily as they closed the last trunk.

"We are done boss!!" One of the men said lightly.

"Then let's get the fuck out of here!!" Gio said coldly and walked to his SUV. "Make sure the products get to the destination."

"Are you going to see your doctor??" Matteo said calmly as Gio got into his car.

"I suggest you leave gossip to women." Gio said calmly and Matteo lifted his eyebrow.

"Well you behave like one with your little mood swings.I'd say the doctor rubbed off on you but then she ghosted you sooo Cara??" Matteo said mockingly and Gio shut his eyes in annoyance.

"Out of all the animals of the world it's you that I end up with... Fuck me!" Gio said and Matteo laughed as he walked away.

"You deserve me fool," Matteo said laughing as the driver in Gio's car started the car.

"That's enough punishment," Gio said as the window rose shut as they drove off. It had been a long crazy day of Santos pissing him off but if he got to her place and he saw him there no one was going to stop him from putting a bullet through his head. If Matteo didn't trap that old woman then that mission was going to be a suicide trap. Santos was going to expose the mafia straight from the inside and the risk was too much. He wanted the trophy of being responsible for his arrest but he wasn't going to give him that satisfaction. He took out his phone and made a call...

"Good evening Mr Director..." He said as soon as the person on the other end answered nervously.

"I would have had an amazing day but then I realized that you are starting a lot of trouble with me."
*****
"Oh you don't know? You're Detective Santos was about to destroy my shipment."
*****
"Don't fucking ask me stupid questions!! I pay you way more than what your stupid mind deserves..."
*****
"How does he plant a spy in my house without you're knowledge then organize a full blown mission to intercept my shipment and you fucking don't know shit?!!"
*****
"I pay you to do your job but even that you can't do so what use do you have to me??"
*****
"Fix it before I fix you and I know you know exactly what I mean!!" He said before hanging up the call, frustration lurking through his entire body as he leaned back to his seat. After a while they were right outside Diana's luxurious house and for the first time he could feel the nervousness lurking in his body. He told the driver to go ask the security at the entrance as he silently watched but when he returned he wasn't told anything due to security reasons. He leaned back to his seat frustration lurking through his body as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He remembered the last conversation she had with her and told the driver to drive to the hospital. He took steady deep breaths realizing how invasive it would be but he didn't care... he needed to see her and if it's accurate that she's in labour then it would mean even Santos is not aware. This way he'll get to score more points with her hence removing any possibility of them getting back together. A little relaxation weighed in his body and they made a stop at the florist on the way to the hospital. He remembered that she had a thing for a specific shade red roses as he walked into the floral shop. The owner who was preparing to close was dumbfounded considering the wealthiest man had just walked into his shop. The man watched as he silently walked around the shop sighting a perfect colour.

"How much for this bouquet? " Gio said calmly yet firmly.

"75 dollars sir... But... You pay extra for the gifts it comes with, sir, " The man said nervously.

"I want 100 roses bouquet that comes with a box of chocolate and a gift bag, " Gio said calmly.

"I have one at the back, " The man said as he hurriedly disappeared to the back and after a while getting returned with a beautiful red roses bouquet just how she liked them and he smiled lightly as he took them from his hand. He sniffed the roses as the man went for the gift bag and he returned with everything in order. He paid the bill and left him a large bonus before leaving causing the man to shower him with blessings which he knew he needed especially when dealing with the Doctor. The driver drove off in silence as soon as he got inside but even as he looked at the beautiful roses beside him he was nervous a feeling he was very unfamiliar with.

He had to make a call to ensure that no attention would be drawn to him, he couldn't risk any sort of rumors about the doctor because it will ruin his plan to win her heart. He smiled lightly as they approached the hospital and made a phone call to the person who can make this as smooth as possible.
