Chapter 8 The Dons

Narrators POV

" Hey Gabe why the hell is Eva here we agreed we'll leave her out of this didn't we ." Zach inquired to Gabriel who just entered the room.

" I don't know how Rose found out but she's the one who brought her on purpose ."

" Come ooon you think Rose is still bearing a grudge for that little stunt with her sister ." Zach said . Gabe gives him a pointed look noticing the sarcasm . Which made Zach to join his lips together.

" What d'you wanna do now , you know Eva can't handle the truth ." Teo said

" I know she can't but she'll have to." Gabriel replied.

****************************************************

They walked into the the fabulously designed VIP room , meant only for the best of the richest. They all had shades on looking nothing less than 45 . The women greeted each other with fake smiles and the men exchanged pleasantries,even the waitress who came in to take their order knew that these people were unlike the normal business tycoons that frequented their restaurant.

" It's feels so good to have us all gathered again,just like the old times .". One of them said , she seemed to be a very outspoken person

" Just cut to the chase Maggie , what went wrong.". Gilbert said.

" You know me too well Gilbert ." She smiled back as they all took their seat .

" Well as you know our kids are all seniors now don't you think it's time to level up their game ?." She said plainly .

" I don't know about you guys but Gabriel's doing pretty well on my side ." Gilbert said .

" Well we all know that Mr Gilbert , after all he's a chip from the old block." Margret said laughing at her own joke. Then her expression loosened and became serious.

" The feds are onto us again." She said

" Why?." Another parent said

" Our cargo got hijacked, our mole's been bought over." Margret continued .

" You've gotta be fucking kidding Maggie." Eduardo , Teo's father said .

" You had one job!!." Natalia, Nickole's mother joined.

" No need to get fiesty okay, Bianca's on it right now , but I do need a little help from you guys ." Margret defended.

" I wonder what it is this time ." Natalia said sarcastically. Margret ignored Natalia and went in with her proposal.

" I need more shipment , not just coke this time , arms ." She blurted . Gilbert laughed colly , his blue guys shine just like his son's and let's not forget his strikenly attractive looks that makes you wonder if he's really Gabriel's father and not brother . He still caught the gaze of younger girls at his age but he kept to his single status wanting nothing he called weakness .

" That's kinda rude don't you think Girl." Margret said obviously offended . He looked at her and opened his mouth to say something but some spoke first .

" How much ." All eyes in the room went to Emily , the quiet but most dangerous, no one in the room new her net worth but neither did they know that she had no heir to inherit her fortune . Gilbert was the first to speak .

" Hey Emily ..." But she interrupted.

" It's okay , the meeting ends faster that way." She said calmly with her grey eyes darting back at Margaret making her look like an idiot. Margret cleared her throat trying to save face but she had no choice but to accept Emily's help cause what what hijacked from her was coke of worth 10 million phew!! A lot of cash and it was also a joint operation with the rest of them , so she had to pay them back all their money and for that she needed cash and arms .

" 20 barrels , think you can handle it ? " Margret said doubting her .

" Would that be enough?" Emily asked . Nat mouthed show off to Eduardo .

Meanwhile Emily knew that just 20 barrels of ammunition won't be enough for Margret cause she knew her cartel was under siege so she asked again.

" Wouldn't mind more ." Margret said folding her arms . There was silence , Emily picked up her phone and failed up a number .

" 40 barrels at the port ." She said plainly and cut off. Gilbert smiled his iconic side smile as he watched Emily's walk out of the room .

" We're done here?" Eduardo said and stood up.

" What a waste of time." Natalia said aloud for Margret to hear.

" Margret folded her fists tightly, she hated Emily and Everything about her, she hated her cold demeanor and her air if authority and most especially because Gilbert seemed interested in her .
