Chapter Twenty Two
Giovanni wondered why Sofia had picked this location; an old building which had no one living in it; he had always found reason to believe that Sofia was a psycho and this was exactly evidence to prove his point.
“You really never change from the ideology of being punctual you held up” he turned and saw Sofia all dressed up in black matching clothing. Giovanni thought of the character black widow in the avenger movie when he saw her look.
“So what is it you want to tell me about Bianca, hurry up I have no time to spare” he asked checking his Rolex watch.
“You will have enough time to spare after this I assure you” she clapped her hands and three masked men came out from nowhere, circulating Giovanni. He heard a childlike cry and turned to see a fourth masked man holding Alonso in his hand. He wanted to reach out to him but they held him down with a gun pointed at his son.
“You stupid bitch! It was you all along. Where is Bianca!!” He asked with resentment for her.
“That isn’t part of the reasons I am here” she walked up to him with a smirk on her face
“I have a proposition for you and believe when I say you will like it” Giovanni hated this type of situation and although he had been in them several times, he was at disadvantage in this one because of the presence of his son.
“What do you want” he asked casually
“You, I want you to be my darling husband. We will get married once more and let the whole world know that Bianca actually was your baby mama and I happened to be your first love” She explained to him in clear terms
“What the fuck are you up to sofia, what sort of madness is this” Giovanni asked.
“My name is Imade and while it will be a long tale explaining for you, it is not the moment to do so.” Imade announced, leaving Giovanni utterly speechless. His eyes darted to Alonso, who had called down a bit.
“Sounds like you don’t love Alonso the way you claim to love him else you will be taking me up on this offer right now” Imade mentioned to him
“I can’t do this,” Giovanni said.
“Then blame yourself when I kill him and also in return finish off your wife leaving you with nothing, absolutely nothing” she spat every word at his face and like venom it toiled with his sense of reasoning.
Giovanni looked between the masked men standing and the one holding his son and then to Imade; he had no choice, no alternative to this deal, he couldn’t fight any of them as they were all armed, he couldn’t possibly look for any counter offer. Bianca I am sorry I have to do this for our son and you, he said to himself.
“Fine, you have a deal”

Thelma was elated when she was reunited with her child once more; she had been released hours later by Amore, who had his escort take her to meet with Alonso.
“Now that you are united with your child, we are leaving for Italy” Amore declared
“Italy? Why?” Bianca requested
“It is not in your position to question my decision; we are headed for Italy immediately” he announced once more.
Bianca sighed as they passed through the road heading to the airport; she couldn’t believe she was leaving New York once again without seeing her grandparents, who at the moment were their only hope. She believed they would have given up on her and moved on. Bianca wondered if there would be ever a time she would meet Giovanni again. She loved him and held him close to her heart. She turned and looked at Alonso sleeping peacefully and smiled to herself knowing that she was doing this for the future; for Alonso’s future.

It has been three days since Giovanni agreed to take Imade up as his wife and it had been a hell of a roller coaster for him. The entire social media was on fire when he had publicly declared that Imade was his true love and that Bianca was his baby mama. He was pained making the announcement but he had to do it for the greater good.
“You did well out there today darling” Imade tried to touch him but he removed her hands off her causing the latter to smile.
“Don’t worry Giovanni I promise you that with time, you will come to terms with accepting me as your beloved wife” Giovanni chuckled silently; never in a thousand years would he pick Imade over Bianca for so many reasons.
“Good day Mr. and Mrs Giovanni, my name is Trevor Linda, I am from the Entertainment plus. We have been sending mails to you Mr. Giovanni for two days now to inform you of our plan for you to grace our show this Friday with your beloved wife here Mrs Imade” the smartly dressed woman with a somewhat Australian accent spoke
“Oh! That will be great” Imade responded as Giovanni wasn’t in the mood. He clearly didn’t want to grace any more shows.
“That will be awesome ma’am, we will mail you the time of the show and other things you need to know in the next hour” Linda stated before heading out .
“Do you really have to respond to all these show biz people?” Giovanni asked, irritated by her antics.
“Of course, we need everyone to know that we are happily married, remember?” Imade reminded him
“They already know damnit!”
“Not everyone Giovanni, I will have you know that if you keep being this stubborn, I will be forced to break this deal off” she walked up closer to him and whispered “I know you do not want the media knowing that your beloved son Alonso is dead” Giovanni’s shoulder stiffen and stared at her.
“Come now, we have dinner to attend” she said morphing her countenance back into that sweet loving smile she always plastered on her face. The only words to describe Imade at this point according to Giovanni was the fact that she is crazy.

The few days in Italy had been terrible days for Bianca; Giovanni was notably absent from the house and hired a female escort to watch over her. Even as she would later know she was to be called was nowhere near Viola, her previous bodyguard and was a witch in disguise; she was irritating, annoying and above all was always looking at Bianca as though in a few seconds she would escape. On this particular day, she had tucked in Alonso to sleep and decided to head down stairs to check the latest buzz on the entertainment world when she came across a strange channel with Giovanni’s face as the guest for the show. She was beyond shocked to see Imade standing side by side with him. She settled down on the couch and watched on as the show commenced.
“Welcome to our show Mr. and Mrs Giovanni” the presenter who Bianca would eventually know as Linda introduced them.
“Great to have us on the show, I mean we never thought we would be honored but either way, it is great to be here” Imade replied. Bianca could notice the frustration in Giovanni’s eye and that reaction gave her hope that he wasn’t planning to stick with her. She had always known Imade to be very loud and much of a talkative.
“So to start with, the entire New York city was in shock when you Mr. Giovanni announced that your previous wife was not ACTUALLY your wife but your baby mama. We wish for you to throw more light on this for us” Bianca was shocked; Giovanni called her a baby mama? Was that what he thought of her all this while? She tried to calm her emotions down and listen to what he had to say.
“It is indeed true that Bianca and I weren’t exactly lovers; So without much to say, I think the issue of Bianca being a baby mama should be closed because I already affirm to it” Giovanni explained but Bianca could tell there was something strange about the way he had explained to the host.
“And to you Mrs Imade, how did you react knowing that Bianca was in the picture” Imade suddenly laughed out loud causing Giovanni to mentally slap himself. Imade was clearly an embarrassment and with every second that went by in this Interview, he had more reason to love Imade even more.
