THE MAFIA'S SEER BRIDE

THE OLD SCORE TO SETTLE.

I couldn't bring myself to think straight because I've lost someone the most dearest to me and that's the worst I've feared over the years of my life. While I was about entering the conference room for the board meeting with the stakeholders I overheard some arguing amongst themselves.

Hmm..I can't believe this the chairman will be inactive for a while maybe he's gone off for one of those his goofy trips. Morgan said nodding his head.

Well it's good at least he can make a space for the true CEO to shine. Mr Andros replied poking on top of the desk.

You're so impeccable Andros who on earth told you that gang leader Rudolph's not the son of the Xavier mafias? Don Paulo asked curiously in Rudolph's defense.

Hmm you must be unaware but let me tell you the real secret. Rudolph is not the true heir to the gang leaders throne he's not supposed to be the capo Mrs Alva Xavier the ex capo's wife told me that. Andros whispered smiling mischievously.

Hah..look even if he's still the capo. He's shown benevolent wisdom and valour not to mention his craftiness and immaculate strength look real capo or not the thing is that I respect him as the capo. Don Paulo remarks confidently.

I wonder how he managed to brainwash the capo to give him the position and his step brother admits silence and surrenders whole heartedly? Morgan asked scratching the back of his head.

I don't know maybe he used Voodoo magic besides I never really liked him. Antonio smirked proudly causing the board members to whisper to one another.

I stood there frozen as anger surges throughout my veins and systems I felt like I was the one being insulted. The thought of considering Rudolph as my step brother never crossed my mind maybe because our relationship goes all the way back to when I was in the womb in accordance to my mum's testimony. When I was in the womb I wouldn't kick for days and weeks this made my mum worried to a certain degree an but the instant Rudolph stepped into the house I began to kick in my mother's womb and Even when she went into hard labour my dad was called and he arrived but I didn't come out until Rudolph walked towards my mum's womb and whispered my name that was how I came into this world safely unharmed and he was given the honour of naming me.

Rudolph was more than a brother he was a fatherly figure to me and I spent all my life in his care that's why my mum hates Rudolph because she thinks he stole me away from her. I tried to hide my tears but it was futile then I walked into a quiet corner and broke down into tears. Fiercely I walked into the room and gave them the piece of my mind shunning them never to speak ill of him again.After the meeting I informed them that my brother would be away for quiet sometime and I'll be handling the company for a while until he's back. The board members applauded in shock nodding their heads like they complied with the matter at hand but they never knew I wasn't going to be fooled by anyone and this means I'll surely evict all rivals before going in search of Rudolph.

The meeting was over and Alexis escorted me back to my office where I sat down pondering over the next actions to be taken in reference to Rudolph's mysterious disappearance.

Boss you shouldn't think too much I've mobilize a search party to go in search of matter Rudolph maybe he's somewhere in town. Alexis assured folding her hands in akimbo.

No Alexis how thoughtful of you but he's not in town he was taken by those blood suckers. I cursed slamming the desk.

I'm sorry boss but the capo's really strong and has extraordinary tatics and fighting skills he can't be possibly taken. She shrugged tugging her hair behind her ear.

That's right...hmmm Alexis don't worry just keep an eye on the company's affairs for me that will do just fine. I suggested waving my hands to dismiss her.

Alexis walked out of the office with an expression of worry on her face while I turned the chair to stare at the window. Immediately my phone rang and it was Marcus miller the guy from the club I groaned in anger because I stared it clearly that I wasn't into him but he persisted on calling me and it has to be today of all day.

Hello who's this and what's the matter? I pretended screaming at the phone.

Well I see darling that you've literally forgotten who I am or you're just pretending not to. Marcus said clicking his tongue sympathetically.

Are you trying to force words out of my mouth or don't you just know when to call it quits. I asked grinding my teeth together.

Aww you remember me now Frank you should also know I don't quit I'll get you and I'll find you and you'll be mine. He laughed loudly

In your dreams Marcus I've got tastes and you're not one of them besides I'm busy so ciao. I replied disconnecting the call.

The frustration of having answer miller's call after he hacked my phone surged through my body and I could never forgive him besides he was a reckless 20 years old and to me he's just a younger brother to me. I picked my suit and left the office for my mother's house.

AT XAVIER'S MAFIA MANSION

I drove into the large compound which glimmered in jewels and arrayed beauty then i walked out of the car into the mansion and the family chauffeur drove the car into the garage. My mum was informed that I had arrived so she came out to hug me but I referred her hugs.

Wow what a fine young man you've become Frank and it's good to have you back did Rudolph finally free you or did the spell fade away? Alva asked cupping my face but I refused her cuddling.

Stop saying that mum and I'm not here for you. I replied boldly.

Oh really! Then why are you here huh? She asked folding her hands before walking towards her couch.

What the hell is wrong with you ma? You know too f*****g well that no one's supposed to know that Rudolph's not the family's legitimate son and now you spilled the beans in the hands of Mr Andros that old sly fox. I cried angrily while sensing the shock on my mum's face.

I'm not the one and even if I did what right do I need from you to tell an old friend a secret huh or has Rudolph finally succeeded in teaching you how to be arrogant? Alva asked screaming at me.

Enough!!ma Rudolph's done nothing wrong all the wealth you're enjoying today was his hardwork so why do you hate him so much huh it's not my fault that you couldn't behave like a mother from the day I was born so to help you he took me in as his son and raised me so don't talk about him like that. I screamed pointing at my mum.

I can't tolerate this imprudence! What's so important about Rudolph huh tell me why does your grand father,my husband and you of all people defend that outcast? Alva asked sipping her wine.

I won't tell you but keep to your alcohol and stop tarnishing Rudolph's image after all he's registered by the law as our family plus he's my true brother. I smirked.

What's going on here? Sweetheart is everything alright? A man walked in holding mum around her waist.

Nothing darling it's just my arrogant son Frank,he's the youngest and so imprudent because that boy I told you about raised him. She replied planting a kiss on his lips.

Wow the capo raised an infant that's brilliant. He praised staring at her face.

Well Frank this is my fiance Harrison he's a good soul and Harry boo this is Frank. She introduced.

Oh...nice to meet you Frank I've heard a lot about you and the capo. He said stretching his hands for a hand shake.

I don't shake hands with anyone I've got mysophobia so you might give me germs. I insulted folding my hands into fists.

That's rude Frank you'd either be nice or you use the f*****g door. She scolded but was pulled back by Harry.

I rapidly made a quick assessment on Harry's physique he looked way younger than my mum and he's got a well designed muscular physique and I could see why mum loved him but I was not here for such trash talks.
