Hiding the Billionaire Mafia’s Twin

“Why did you tell your Mamma that?” Tito turns to face the insolent kid.

“I didn’t say she was dead, I only said she was poisoned and we are doing everything we can to save her life and discover what kind of poison it is'” the doctor explains to the ignorant child. He leaves after that.

“Mamma” Noello calls but there is no response.

Tito snatches the phone from him.

“Fiorella” Tito calls but the line is already dead.

“You shouldn’t have told her that, Noello!” Signora Ginvera scolds, deep inside she’s a bit relieved that her granddaughter is still alive.

“I thought that’s what the doctor said, you both should stop scolding me, it’s my twin sister in there remember, I also have feelings as well, stop thinking about only yourselves, it’s selfish!” Noello flares up, stopping tears from brimming in his eyes.

He pockets his hands and goes to sit and sits on it fuming inside. Tito sighs and gives the phone back to Signora Ginvera.

He pockets his hands as well and walks slowly stealthily to Noello. He places his hand on his smooth brown hair and the latter doesn’t react aggressively.

“Your sister will be fine and it’s alright to cry even though it’s even a long time since I ever did but when you can’t keep it in, just let everything out” Tito advises patting his head gently.

Signora Ginvera gasps and watches them, she ponders on the fact that this might be the father of the twins.

“Stop being a jerk and get your hand off my hair, I’ve got nothing to let out” Noello replies stubbornly and shakes his hand off his hair.

“You should leave, this is all your fault, if it wasn’t for you Noelle would be fine” Noello yells.

“I shouldn’t waste my saliva on you” Tito snarls and pockets his hand again.

“And neither should I, it’s better if I don’t see your awful face near my family or I again, leave ”

“With all due pleasure,” Tito said with a lour.

He walks away from there, Noello watches him leave, he turns his back to his grandma and wipes away the tear that drops. Signora Ginvera walks to him and touches his smooth hair.

“Noelle will be fine, I believe in that” She smiles sadly and strokes his hair.

Silicon groups ***

Enzo puts some alcohol close to her nostrils and Fiorella sniffs. Laura is still fanning her with a book, they’ve been trying to revive her.

“She’s waking up” Laura smiles and stops fanning her.

“Ah…” Fiorella moaned and held her head. she’s sleeping on Laura’s couch, her wig is not on her head and her face looks pale and sickly.

“Fiorella, can you hear me?” Laura asks in a low voice and fans her for a while.

“Heartbeat” Enzo calls and assists her in sitting up. “Heartbeat” He calls again and she looks around strangely rather than answering either of them.

She looks confused right now, her eyes widens when she remembers what Noello told her.

“It can’t be,” Fiorella cries suddenly.

“What is wrong?”

“Noelle can’t be dead,” Fiorella sobs loudly.

She can’t imagine losing her daughter, those kids are the only good things she has left in her life no matter the troubles they give her, they remain her babies and she can’t lose any of them.

“Noello called me. he said that Noelle…had been poisoned and that..” Fiorella stammered crying in between.

“He said that what? Amica talk to me” Laura urges her to complete her sentence.

“That Noelle is dead,” Fiorella responds, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Enzo and Laura are shocked and they exchange glances. “That can’t be true, where’s your phone? Let’s confirm, “Laura said.

Enzo brings out her phone from his uniform and gives it to Laura who hands it to Fiorella. With shaky hands, Fiorella dials her mother’s number again. She answers at the second attempt .

“Mamma, what happened to Noelle? ” Fiorella cries heavily.

“Noelle isn’t dead but she’s at the hospital”

“Ask the name of the hospital, ” Enzo whispers, since the phone is on loudspeaker.

“What’s the name of the hospital?”

“The polyclinic” Signora Ginvera replies.

“Let’s go there” Fiorella cries and stands up, she runs out of the office without waiting for them.

“Fiorella, wait for me” Laura mutters and rushes to get her bag before dashing out of the office.

Enzo stands up and is about to follow them when his phone rings, he answers the call.

“Lorenzo, you have been at that company for up to a week and you haven’t found any tangible evidence against Tito Denero, what have you been doing there? or have you been flirting with the women in the office and you have lost focus on what your aim? there!” He queries, yelling over the phone.

Enzo shuts his eyes and ruffles his hair.

“Sir, I’m still on it,” Enzo muttrers, even though he hasn’t done anything. The man reprimanding is his boss, his name is Mr Bianchi.

“Agent Lorenzo, I don’t care about your tale, you are an undercover agent and I want evidence before the end of the day, or forget your promotion and maybe your job!” Mr Bianchi speaks firmly and hangs up.

“Sir, sir don’t do this please” Enzo yells.

“No” Enzo sniffs

He can’t lose his job, he has worked almost his entire life in that place, he can’t even be with Fiorella now when she needs him the most.

“Darn it” Enzo sighs and leaves the office. He walks sneakily to Tito’s office and attempts opening the door.

*****

Tito had gone back to Fiorella’s house and took the bag he had left, it contained the hair of Noelle. He still has to find out if they are his kids or not. He reaches another hospital and drops the hair sample for a DNA test.

“I need the results before tomorrow” Tito mutters to the doctor.

“Sure sir, we will make sure we get the result ready as fast as you want it” the doctor smiles confidently.

The polyclinic ***

After two hours because of the traffic jam, Fiorella arrives along with Laura and she rushes to the emergency ward and sees her mother.

“Mamma…” Fiorella cries and runs to Signora Ginvera.

“Rella” She calls and hugs her tightly.

“Where’s my Noelle?” Fiorella sobs on her shoulder.

“She will be fine, the doctor hasn’t said much, but I’m sure she’s fine” She replied and parted the hug.

“How did it happen?” Fiorella sobs.

“It’s all his fault ” Noello says from behind his grandma.

“Who’s fault?”

“Tito, your dangerous boss, he gave Noelle chocolates and it was poisoned” Noello answers the question of Fiorella.

Fiorella looks blank, she faces back to see Tito approaching them, her eyes are reddened and her blood boiling within her.

“How dare you try to poison my daughter?” Fiorella yells and races to him, the next thing is a thunderous, resounding slap.

Laura’s mouth falls open in shock but it becomes wider when another slap hits the other side of Tito’s face. Tito has shock written all over his face. Her hand is coming towards his face again but he catches it this time and holds her.

“I didn’t poison her, believe me. ” Tito yells, both sides of his face are stinging badly.

Fiorella grits her teeth and yells “It’s all your fault, ruining my life before wasn’t enough for you and you come back to ruin it again, you bastard”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She’s trying hard to slap him again but he’s firmly holding her, he suddenly pulls her into a hug. They are shocked, especially Laura.

“Leave me” Fiorella cries.

“I didn’t poison her, I swear it” Tito mutters, hugging her tightly. Fiorella burst into fresh tears and stays still.

“Excuse me” the doctor interrupts the moment.

They turn to him and Fiorella with Tito rush to the doctor. “How is Noelle?”

“We couldn’t discover what the poison is, but she needs an antidote which we don’t have, if we aren’t able to get an antidote, then we could lose her before the end of today” the doctor explains.

Fiorella buries her hands on her face crying hard.

“I will get the antidote” Tito mutters and all eyes instantly fix on him.
