CHAPTER Eighty Seven
Micheal was having a good time in his sleep, when he felt the presence of someone and he immediately opened his eyes to see Lucifer smiling down on him.
“Shit!” He commented, jolting up to his feet, and staring at Lucifer in horror.
“Never knew you could be this scared” Lucifer commented. Micheal stylishly looked around for a gun and the one closest to him as she rushed forward and got the gun as Lucifer continued smile and laugh at him.
“You and I know that these things are very primitive to our body, which makes me wonder why you even thought in the first place to use it against me” The smile on Lucifer’s face was one that was lethal to Michael’s existence.
“Micheal, why? I need to understand why you had to do what you do, for the love of money? How much did Amore paid you. You fucking killed Viola, you killed my girlfriend” Lucifer’s voice was increasingly becoming more threatning.
“Lucifer, I have stated it before and I will say it again, I don’t miss free money. I love going for the money and even if the mission was to kill my own mother, I wouldn’t have hesitated in doing it”
“You see how stupid you sound? Clearly you are nothing but a grown up ingrate, who cannot even be appreciative for his existence through his mom” Micheal wasn’t moved by his words, as he continued to laugh.
“So, why have you come Lucifer? Am I bound to die here?” Micheal asked in a mocked tone.
“I would have loved to easily slit your throat and feed them to the ravens, but the only problem is, you are not even edible for them to eat”
“Such a cheap joke Lucifer, anyways, I am offering you one last chance to join the winning team, ignore Giovanni and Tina. Buddy and Amore have alot to offer for us and I just wish you would not regret by the end of the day” Micheal advised.
“Unlike you, I am not much of a betrayal. My loyalty stays and hardly would it swing from tree to tree, I can tell you that as a fact”
“Loyalty? Who fucking cares about loyalty these days? All I care about is having to out food in my mouth and making the best out of my money” Micheal explained.
“Look, these are my last words to you. The only reason you are not dead is because of the syringe we both took. The fact that you took Viola away from me, I promise you, I would have my revenge someday and somehow. And when that time comes I can’t wait to see you crawling on your knees and begging for mercy, which I would not show” Micheal watched as Lucifer walked out of his apartment.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
He immediately stood up to his feet and ran to check the window and was surprised to see he was nowhere.
“How did he entered my apartment” Micheal wondered to himself.

Buddy and his men, walked into the St Williams church, where the bishop and his elders were standing by the pulpit and waiting for him.
Apparently, he had gotten a call from the Buddy, who had informed him appropriately that he was coming to his office.
“Mr. Buddy, the Lord greets you. Welcome to his divine yard” Buddy snickered at the Bishop comment.
“Well, I am not here for some welcoming, I am here so you can do as you ought to do” Buddy indicated.
“And what is that?”
“Endorse me for president to your members” Buddy revealed.
“Mr. Buddy, I have told you time without number that the church of God is not a political ground for anyone. It is a place of worship and not a place of campaign”
“Oh! Don’t give me that crap! Even God in heaven is political in all his dealing” The elders that stood before the bishop gasped upon hearing his statement.
“The one thing you will not do Mr. Buddy, is to blashphem God” The bishop warned. “I have already made it clear that I Bishop Williams will never endorse any candidate for election”
Buddy made a gesture to one of his escort, who approached the alter and handed over a brown envelope to the bishop.
“Mr. Buddy, though you are arrogant sometimes, I cannot help but admire your act of generosity towards the church” the bishop said, smiling.
“Open it Bishop” Buddy instructed.
When the Bishop opened the brown envelope, the content from the envelope, came as a shocker to him. He wasn’t expecting to see an old document of his past dig out and presented to him again.
“Elders, I would love for you to excuse me for a moment, I want to have a word with Mr. Buddy” The elders looked around themselves and none of them moved an inch.
“I said, I want to have a word with Mr. Buddy here dammit!” The bishop fired at them and they all scrambled out of the hall.
“Mr. Buddy, what is this?” The bishop asked, staring at the document.
“You are asking me? Isn’t your name written at the top of the document? I mean how shameful will it be, when this circulate on all of the social media platform; Bishop Williams, the well respected man in the entire United state, was caught in a sex scandal” Buddy explained with a mocked gesture.
“You cannot do this to me?” The bishop said, holding up the envelope in his hands.
“And why is that? Because you are a bishop? Listen here real quick, even the holiest saints were once devil at one point of their lifetime. I would only be considerate in not releasing this file, if you agree to my terms and condition” Buddy indicated.
The bishop was pained that he was out in a situation like this, he had no choice at the moment, than to do what Buddy has said.
“What should I tell the congregation?” He said, resigning to his fate.
“Excellent!” Buddy said with a full smile on his face.

When Xavier arrived at Giovanni’s apartment, he was surprised to see that Giovanni was just up and ready to go for the meeting.
“Uncle Xavier? What are you doing here? I thought you would be at the table?” He asked, cleaning off the stain from his shoe.
“Are you just getting ready to go for the meeting at the round table?” Xavier asked.
“I know I am a day late over the meeting but I need you to understand that it wasn’t intentional and to be honest, it wasn’t till six this morning that Imade made mention of the table that i remembered” Giovanni explained, as he watched his uncle take a seat on the couch.
“Why are you here though?”
“There is trouble at the table!” Xavier commented.
“Trouble? What sort of trouble?” Giovanni asked.
“Luke from the younger generation has practically taken over the table” Giovanni froze upon hearing those words from his uncle.
“Wait a minute, I don’t understand what you just said, Luke? Taken over the table? How is that possible uncle? Stop messing with me” Giovanni said, trying to dismiss the possibility as a joke.
“This is no joke boy! All you need to do right now, is to think of how to get the table back” Xavier stated.
“Is that animal a retard? Does he know who is worthy of wearing that crown and seating on that seat? My father transfered the power handed over to him by his father and the father before his own father. Our bloodline has been destined for years to rule the table, and a rif raf outta nowhere, thinks he can come and take over? He is clearly insane”
“These aren’t time to began recounting historical background, this is the time to act up. The entire members at the table has been brainwashed by that young lad to believe his new agenda”
“And why is this new agenda?” Giovanni asked
“To allign with Buddy and atleast, be on his good book” This pissed Giovanni so much that he felt like practically punching the floor in anger.
“How stupid can he be? So he believes that Tina would not win this election? I need to get my men ready, we are going to Mexico at once”
“Don’t you think this idea is rather too hasty? You can sit down for some days amd have a well precise plan of how to take over the table. For now, it is important that you stay safe” Xavier advised.
“I need to call Tina, she needs to know the situation if things right now, I hate the fact that this is the second time this would be happening”
“If you ask me, I would tell you that Amore is behind this” Giovanni looked up at his uncle, and thought about what he had said.
This was the exact way Amore had over taken him at the table and although it was subtle, he couldn’t deny that it was well planned.
