Chapter Forty Eight
“Watson….” Wren rushed towards him making Rebel and the rest to roll their eyes.
“I’m really sorry, i didn’t mean to hit you” She added with a pout.
“Mr Watson, the fact that we are squ-atting at your house doesn’t mean you can treat us like trash….i heard what happened, how you nearly strangled my friends to be specific, I’m really displeased” Sammie stood from his seat.
“Hmm” Watson cleared his throat.
“I came to apologize to you guys…Rebel and Wren to be specific, I’m not always like that and Bell right now knows” He pointed out.
“Something triggered my anger and unfortunately, it was lashed out on them” He added.
“Learn to control it then” Sammie mumbled faking a smile.
“Bell i’m…” He said walking up to Bell but Wren pulled him back.
“Don’t worry, we un-derstand” She cut him off smiling lovingly at him.
“Arrgh!!!” Monarch balled her fist wanting to explode.
“Hmm hmm!!” His nanny cleared her throat.
“And you…” Watson said pointing at Sammie after his nanny signalled him to tell them the reason they came.
“What about me?” Sammie arched a brow.
“You fooled me” He said inbetween gritted teeth.
“How?” Sammie acted confused.
“The location led to Bruno A.K.A Rollo…that wasn’t the location i asked for” He seethed.
“But Matteo was squ-atting with him…how did they escape?” Sammie feigned ignorance standing to his feet with a frown.
“Are you sure that he was squ-atting with Rollo?” Watson arched a brow.
“We escaped from Rollo’s place, we’re hundred percent sure that the lord was there” Celia chipped him.
“Then how did he escape so fast? That means we were these close to catching him” Watson sighed.
“The next time he won’t be this lucky” Watson shuttered.
“Maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t there in the first place” His nanny huffed throwing Sammie and the rest a glare.
“Are you insinuating that we are lying?” Sammie br@wled giving her a murderous look.
“Aren’t you lying?” His nanny scoffed.
“This woman is getting on my nerve” Sammie purred charging at her.
“Nanny…” Watson called warningly.
“That’s enough” He yelled.
“Fine” She replied with an eyeroll crossing her hands un-der her b-oobs.
“Where else do you think we can find him?” Watson questioned.
“Ion know, there’s no way they would have returned to the main clan” Sammie replied racking his br@in.
“That ain’t an option, the cops are security the main clan, he won’t be foolish to return back” Watson muttered.
“Hmm, that’s true” Sammie agreed with him.
“So what’s gonna happen to Bruno now?” Celia asked as Watson was about to leave making him to stop.
“The cops has been looking for him for a long time now, Rollo’s case happens to be the next case on our desk after Matteo’s own but luckily, it was made easily, we arrived at his clan, after series of bullet exchange between his men and ours, we were able to get in…..drugs were found un-der his roof so that made it easier for them, Rollo will rot in jail” Watson concluded.
“I feel bad for him” Rebel sighed.
“Why?” Watson threw her a deadly glare.
“Nothing” Rebel swallowed…she didn’t actually know that she voiced it out.
“Rollo and Rebel well actually friends” Wren said to him.
“Ohhh!!! You befriended him as well” Watson shuttered.
“We weren’t that close” Rebel defended
“If you say so” Watson scoffed.
“I’ll be leaving” He added.
“Watson….” Wren called as he made to leave.
“Are you really sure you’re okay?” She asked concernly.
“I am” He smiled and began walking out.
“Thanks for caring Wren” He added with a smile before shutting the door behind him.
“Did he just thank me?” Wren gasped blus-hing heavily that she had to cover her cheeks with her palms.
“I have to use the restroom” She added rushing away on seeing the kind of glares Celia was throwing her.
“I can’t help but think that Wren will ruin all this” Monarch mumbled the moment Wren was out of sight.
“I pray she doesn’t because the last thing i want is a friend betraying my trust” Celia sighed.
“If you all are developing cold feet about her being here then let’s send her back to the clan” Sammie suggested.
“That won’t be necessary, Wren won’t betray” Rebel shrugged it off.
“If you say so” Monarch smiled.

Matteo and his crew arrived back at the clan with Jolie, Vanessa and their lovers.
Vanessa was silent throu-ghout the whole journey after Matteo made the revelation of Rebel being his lover.
“This way…..” Matteo directed with a smile while Vanessa rolled her eyes walking ahead of them all.
“She doesn’t like me” Matteo sighed.
“It’s not that she don’t like you, she hates mafias due to something that happened in her past and in addition, she’s overprotective of Bell, she’s the only one she has left” Jolie explained to Matteo on seeing his sad expression.
“Is that so? I’m make her see that I’m perfect for her daughter, I’ve never impressed anyone in my life aside Bell but I’ll try to impress her because everyone that’s important to bell are important to me also, her people are my people especially now that she’s carrying my child” Matteo smiled sweetly.
“Wait…Rebel is pregnant?” Jolie frowned.
“Yes she is” Matteo replied not seeing anything bad about it.
“Well, Mrs Vanessa won’t be happy if she learns about it, for the mean time, keep it a secret until you get on her good page” Jolie advised.
“Alright” Matteo replied.
They began walking in with Vector snaking his hands around Jolie’s wai-st and smiling sweetly at her.
“Lord Matteo, we can’t stay in your clan, our boss is here and will recognize us instantly, he won’t hesitate to end us” Vector muttered while they were walking in.
“You’ll spend the night here, tomorrow you leave for Morio” Matteo responded.
“Morio? That place is deserted…why can’t we go to countries like Lavender” Jolie pouted.
“Morio is the only place I’ll go without the cops bothering me, you guys will take the lead, once our plan works out, we’ll join you guys there” Matteo explained.
“Will we be going alone?” Jolie pouted.
“No…my mum and daughter will be going with you in company of some of my men, the ship is ready, you know you can’t go to Morio with planes……when we comes, we’ll develop it together” Matteo responded once more.
“Axe…” he called.
“Appoint my mother in law, Jolie and the rest some room next to mine, order the men to treat them with caution, they leave tomorrow to a more safer place” Matteo ordered before leaving.
“Follow me…” Axe ordered and they did as instructed.

Mrs Vanessa was walking not minding where she’s going….the thought of Rebel dating a mafia keep running throu-ghher mind.
“This isn’t the kind of life i want for you…..a mafia? No no no!!!” She sighed.
She was still lost in thought when she bumped into someone.
“Watch it” The person snapped.
“I’m sorry” Mrs Vanessa apologized quickly.
Mrs Isme who happened to be the person she bumped into raised up her head to throw her a glare but her jaw dropped on seeing who it was.
“Felicia?” she gasped.
Mrs Vanessa on hearing the name she has gotten over frowned and stared at Mrs Isme more clearly.
“I-isme…my baby?” She gasped.
Isme’s eyes became teary, she took two steps towards her drawing her into an hu-g.
“I miss you nanny Felicia, i missed you so much” She pouted sobbing on her shoulders.
“No single day goes by that i doesn’t think about you, i always wonder what happened to you Felicia?” She added honestly looking into Mrs Vanessa’s eyes in tears.
“It’s okay” Mrs Vanessa smiled sweetly at her wiping her tears with her thumb.
“I’m no more Felicia, I’m now Vanessa” She explained to Isme.
“After that night, i never saw you again, you left me” She pouted.
“I didn’t just leave, i had to” Mrs Vanessa sighed…..”it’s time she find out what happened” Mrs Vanessa said at the back of her head.
“I saw how unhappy you were when your mother talked you into placing Jerome’s child on Pierce’s head, i just couldn’t sit and nothing…so i did something i shouldn’t have, something that nearly cursed me my life” Mrs Vanessa stopped for a while maintaining the suspense.
“What did you do?” Mrs Isme frowned.
“it took me a lot of courage to confront your mum, i told her not to do what she intends doing because it will end up haunting you till the day you’ll die….and also, i rushed her lack of motherly care on her face, showing her how bad a mother she was to you, i also threatened to reveal your pregnancy to your father, that way your union with Pierce would be stopped….unknowing to me that your mum had a plan for me….” Mrs Vanessa sighed.
“That day, she had the men dragged me out of the mansion for overstepping my boundaries…I was dragged to the dangerous part of the city, they were five men in total and each one of them took their turns with me” Mrs Vanessa said breaking down…..Isme didn’t expect the revelation so she broke down as well.
“I was ra-ped by five different men Isme, my plea, sobs and everything didn’t stop them…..they mo-lest ed me until i pas-sed out….I was left lying in the cold that day….some hours later i woke up in pain, my body bruised, my dress was ha-rdly covering my nak-edness due to how it was shredded….I cuddled myself on the floor crying out my eyes due to how inhumanly i lost my pride, how dirty they made me feel when some groups of street thu-gs approached me….I struggled to stand and run off but i couldn’t, i was weak, really weak and broken….the men dragged me while i wailed as they spread my legs and made to ra-pe me like they normally do to their victims when he came……..he fought off the thu-gs, shielded me with his coat, and gave me a shoulder to cry on” She said smiling.
“I wanted to revenge, wanted to get back at your mother and make her feel the pain she made me feel but he talked me out of it, he made me see reasons why i can’t win against a mafia….influential entities” Mrs Vanessa smiled.
“Then, to bury my disgust i changed the name Felicia because it will forever remind me of what happened…..living as Vanessa was the best decision, i felt new and my new identity prevented your mum from knowing that I’m alive and kicking…if she had knew, she’ll come for me” Mrs Vanessa concluded.
“My mum….she’s a real beast” Mrs Isme shuttered wiping her face.
“By the way, what are you doing here Felicia, i mean Vanessa” she corrected quickly.
“I just came today, my daughter’s supposed fiance freed me from country R” She replied in sarcasm.
“From your voice, it’s obvious you don’t like him” Mrs Isme chuckled.
” I don’t, he’s a mafia” Mrs Vanessa pouted.
“Ma, you should be in your room resting” Matteo said walking up to them.
“He’s coming…my daughter’s fiance” Mrs Vanessa hissed.
“Him? Matteo? Wait….Rebel is your daughter?” Mrs Isme gasped.
“Yes she is” Mrs Vanessa smiled.
“Well…well..well, the man you resent is my son” Mrs Isme chuckled.
“What? He’s your son? I’m so sorry” Mrs Vanessa apologized.
“It’s fine” Mrs Isme waved it off.
“Do you guys know eachother?” Matteo stopped in front of them.
“Yes” They replied in unison and burst into laughter.
“She used to be my nanny…remember the Felicia i told you about?” Mrs Isme explained excitedly.
“Yes?” Matteo frowned.
“She’s the one”
“Wow…what a coincident” Matteo smiled.
“I’ll leave you women then” Matteo smiled walking away.
“Don’t forget to put your things together, you leave for Morio tomorrow with them” Matteo added halfway.
“Morio?” The two women gasped.
“Morio is…”
“I know deserted” Matteo completed it for Isme.
“Why not Los Angeles?” Mrs Isme pouted.
“We’re running away remember?”
“Morio is safer, no one will know we’re there”.
“If i go you’ll forgive me right?” Mrs Isme pouted.
“I’m owing no grudge against you, we’ll talk later” Matteo replied making her more happy…today seems like her luckiest day, first she found Felicia who’s now Vanessa and her son said he has forgiven her.
Out of happiness, Isme jumped on him….Matteo reciprocated instantly.
“Your presence is a good luck Vanessa” Mrs Isme squealed happily.
“Tell her sweet things about me mum, make her like me” Matteo whispered into her ear.
“Call me mum once again” Isme said with teary eyes.
“Mum” Matteo smiled and she placed a peck on his cheek.
“If i die today, i die fulfilled” Mrs Isme smiled.
“Sorry to disturb your happy moment but are you guys in trouble? Is that why we’re running away?” Mrs Vanessa pouted.
“Yes, we’re in some de-ep shit” Matteo sighed.
“No problem then, we’ll enjoy Morio awaiting your arrival then” Mrs Vanessa smiled.
“Let’s go and do some catch up?” Mrs Vanessa added dragging Mrs Isme away.
“It was more easier than i thought” Matteo smiled before leaving.

Nicky rearranged her dress before placing a light knock on Matteo’s door….one of his men told her he sent for her.
“Come in” Matteo ordered.
She pushed the door open and stepped in.
“You sent for me Matteo” she asked nervously.
“I did….” Matteo smiled
“You look hot, the dress accentuate your beauty, your li-ps, they’re so red, i love the color, red stand for danger” Matteo winked.
“Really?” She blus-hed heavily fanning herself.
“I just came in” Matteo added.
“I feel hot, today was really stressful for me” Matteo added taking unbu-ttoning his shirt.
“Do you have to take off your cloth in my presence?” Nellie said shyly making her face to heat up the more.
“Why? Is it making you to feel uncomfortable? Are you shy around me now? Don’t you free like running your hands throu-ghthem?” He asked fli-rtatiously walking towards her.
“What are you doing?” She panicked moving backwards until her back finally met the wall…he used his hands to pin her to it.
“Matteo…this isn’t right” She protested.
“It’s right Nicky….I know you want me as much as i do….i love you Nicky”
“I want you too Matteo and i love you more” She smiled snaking her hands around his ne-ck and pulling him to her level.
“I matter to you more than Bell right?” She asked seductively.
“Yes you do” he replied with lust filled eyes.
She smacked her li-ps against his ki-ssing him wildly and pas-sionately ….Matteo reciprocated instantly….he attacked her li-ps with thesame place…he bit on her lower li-p and she granted him the access he desi-red….she allowed him to explore her mouth to his heart content while she roamed her hands throu-ghhis ha-rd biceps….he lifted her from the floor that moment, she wrapped her legs around his wai-st.
He turned heading for the bed.
“Are you okay?”
“Isme…..” Matteo called thun-derously je-rking her out of her thought.
“Wait….it’s an imagination? It didn’t really happen?” She frowned.
” I was asking about Zola but you spaced out” he muttered.
“S-she’s f-fine” She stuttered.
” I want to tell you to arrange her stuffs, she’s leaving for Morio tomorrow….i want it to be a secret, don’t spill it to your husband” He warned.
“Pierce and i are no longer together” She muttered.
“Good for you then, you can go with Zola if you want” he suggested.
“No…I’ll stay behind, once we’re done tackling the cops, I’ll join her”
“It’s your decision” Matteo mumbled.
“That’s all, you may leave”
“Okay” she smiled and turned her back.
The door opened that moment revealing Pierce, he barged him pushing Nicky from the way….
“What are you doing here…”
Matteo words were cut short when Pierce sent a punch across his face.
