Pregnant By A Gangster

Ch.17 The Other One

CHANELLE'S POV..

We get there and the whole place is lit up with candles and the lights are dimmed. It looks like a palace/castle type of looking place. We walk in and see Jovanny and his family. He has told me he would meet me here. They come up to us and greet us. "you look amazing" Jovanny whispers in my ear as he puts his hand on my hip.

I smile and blush. "thank you, so do you" I tell him. He does look sexy as hell in his tuxedo. He's one of the hottest gangster I've ever seen. "son, come! we have business to discuss" Victor calls over to Jovanny. "I'll catch up with you in a bit babe" he says then kisses me. I smile and nod.

Everyone goes their own way and I end up alone. Awesome. I just walk over to the long red cloth covered table that has all the wine glasses, water glasses, and a bunch of small horderves. Of course, only Italian. Cheese cubes, slices on Tomato, cold cut deli meat, mozzarella bacon tarts, stuffed mushrooms, slices of French bread, shrimp and shrimp cocktails and much more.

I just grab a wine glass filled with water and grab just one of the horderves. I eat it and drink my water. I look around at the event. There's a few people. It's pretty quiet besides the sound of low music playing. Everyone is familiar. Cause it's everyone from the mob. Only a few I don't know.

I look out the wide balcony that's about 50 feet away. The night sky looks extra sparkly tonight. I sigh in boredom. "hello" I hear a man's deep voice saying causing me to instantly look to my left. "oh hello" I say since I don't recognize the man.

He's very tall, tan skin, he has slick back black hair, he looks to be about 22-24 years old and he's handsome. "I'm Savino, Savino Romano" he says as he reaches his hand out for me to shake it. "Chanelle-" I start but he cuts off as I shake his hand. "Chanelle Costello, I know, my father, Alonso, works with your father" he tells me.

"oh! I knew he had a son but I didn't know it was you" I say with a small laugh. "well, I knew your father had a daughter but I didn't know you were this beautiful" he says. I smile. "thank you" I say with a nod. "I see you're pregnant, your mother told my mother, and it's twins as well" he says with a smile.

"oh yeah, 5 almost 6 months" I tell him. "boys?" he asks. "uh boy and girl actually" I say. He raises his eyebrows. "congratulations, you and the father must be excited" he says. "yes Jovanny and I are" I say. "Jovanny Graziano?" he asks. I nod. "lucky man" he says. I smile.

"every man in, the mob organization needs the, right woman to bare his children" he tells me. But before I could even say anything they announce it's time to be served dinner. Savino just disappears so I go my own way.

Everyone in the mob sits at 2 separate long white clothed table as the waiters give us our plates. I sit in between Jovanny and his sister Vivianna. We begin eating and Vivianna whispers to me as Jovanny talks to his father who is sitting on the other side of him.

"hey, I saw you talking to Savino Romano" she whispers. 'yeah, he came up to me and said hi, why?" I ask as I look up and notice Savino sitting across from me but at the other table. "Chanelle he's bad news, he's a bad guy, worse than my brother" she tells me.

"what, do you mean?" I ask sort of confused. "don't you know who he is?" she asks. I shake my head no. "I've never met him before" I tell her. "if my brother didn't agree to marry you, he was the husband your father had for you" she tells me. I slightly open my mouth in shock. I look at Savino and he glances at me and smiles. I give a sort of half ass smile back.

"does he know I was the one he was gonna marry?" I ask her. She nods. I stay quiet and just continue eating. I could feel Savino's eyes on me the whole time. I wonder if Jovanny knows anything. Once we are all done eating everyone just talks and conversates.

Me, Jovanny, and his father stand talking to some of the other guys in the mob, including Savino which is kind of awkward since I now know he was the guy I was gonna marry and take on Lucca and Ariyah as his own. "there will be big things for your children, especially your son" one of the guys tells me and Jovanny.

We smile at each other and Savino just stares. "we plan on it, we're gonna make sure he is raised to the standards of one day taking my place" Jovanny tells him. They all nod. After another 5 minutes of taking me and Jovanny go our own way. "hey can I ask you something?" I tell him as we go out onto the balcony.

"yeah what?" he says. "do you know that guy Savino Romano?" I ask him. "um well I know he works with your dad, why?" he asks. I pause. "Vivianna told me, he was the guy, my dad had for me, if, you didn't agree to marry me" I tell him. He raises his eyebrows. "really?" he asks me. I nod.

"did you talk to him?" he asks now serious. "no, well yeah he came up to me and said hi and stuff but that was before Vivianna told me who he was" I tell him. "stay away from him Chanelle" he tells me. I nod. We puts his hand on my lower back and we walk back into the venue.

We walk passed a group of guys and Savino with them. I see from the corner of my eye him staring but I don't look. Jovanny does. I wonder if my father knew he was gonna be here. Or if me and Jovanny are the only ones that didn't know he was the other guy I was supposed to marry.
