Chapter 259

Emilia

Luca and I drove directly to Nardi’s place, there will be no space in my safes for the firearms which means I have to put them on the back seat. Which made me scared as fuck what if someone pulls us over or something, being scared made me feel sick it was just a huge vicious circle today. “Luca I’m going to be sick please pull over.” He immediately pulled over and just in time as I lost my tea on the curb. “You okay Emilia?” Luca asked as I got back in the car. “Well, there is the morning sickness and now I’m scared because we are going to have to put the firearms on the back seat or the boot and what if a police officer pulls us over.” “Just breath Emilia okay I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.” “How?” “Emilia just relax if you want to stay at Nardi’s until I dropped the firearms you can do that anything to make you relax.” “I won’t ever let someone else take the fall for me Luca especially not you so no, I’ll be driving back to the office with you.” “You really don’t have to.” “I know and thank you for the suggestion but it’s my business if something happens, I’ll take the fall that’s the end of this discussion.”

We drove in silence all the way to Nardi I’m sure Luca was thinking of a way to leave me at Nardi’s but I won’t let him. When we arrived the first thing Nardi asked me was “Are you okay Emilia you don’t look to good?” I didn’t want to tell him I’m pregnant not yet but fuck it. “I’m pregnant Nardi.” “Oh my God congratulations.” “Thank you but this morning sickness is getting to me.” “Yes, hopefully yours only last your first trimester my wife had morning sickness her whole pregnancy but then again it wasn’t an easy pregnancy.” It’s the first time in all the time I knew Nardi that he even spoke about something private. “Let’s hope it’s just the first trimester, thank you Nardi.” “Well then I’m not going to keep you here longer than you should, the firearms are in the warehouse, Luca you go get the car so long.” Nardi told Luca, Luca looked at me for confirmation I just nodded at him. “Come through.” Nardi said. We walked through to the warehouse where all his men were for some reason Nardi couldn’t hold my news a secret, “Guys you won’t believe it.” He started “What?” Everyone screamed “Emilia here is pregnant.” That caused a lot of screams of congratulation and then off course the question I was waiting for actually from Antonio and Dante “So are you going to stop working now?” One of the guys asked. “Nope that won’t happen who will keep you guys on the go.” Everyone laughed. Nardi took me to the crates of guns I looked at them and everything looked in order. “Nardi, I have another order one for 3D 9mm guns, money is no problem.” “I got myself a 3D printer and all the equipment Emilia, I can make them for you by when do you need them, next week Friday.” “No problem I’ll work out a price and then you put your price on that.” “Thank you Nardi you are a life saver.” Luca and some of the other men loaded the guns in the boot, Nardi gave them a blanket to throw over the firearms. “Thank you Nardi.” “Just a pleasure Emilia and look after yourself.” “I will thank you.” Luca and I got in the Porsch and drove off we weren’t even out of the warehouse district when I told Luca to pull over again. There was absolutely nothing in my stomach but I threw up yet again. When I got back in the Porsch, Luca gave me one of the lollipops Antonio gave me earlier. “Where did you get this.” “I left a few in the car just in case.” “Thank you, Luca.” “Will you be able to hold it until we get to the office?” “I don’t have a choice now.”

Luckily, we got to the office without being pulled over. I was so relieved I didn’t feel sick anymore thank God. We first got the briefcases from under the back seat and then moved the guns to the safe in the back seat. Luca ran upstairs with the suitcases before he came back to take the rest that was in the boot making sure we could secure the rest of the guns in the boots safe. I was so relieved when everything was where they were supposed to be. When I got to the office Isabella was waiting for me with a cup of tea. “Oh, you are a life saver thank you Isabella.” “Anything else I can get you?” “Can you run to the corner shop and get me some salted crackers apparently it helps with morning sickness and I have a bad case of it this morning.” “I’ll be right back.” Luca popped his head into my office “Anything I can help with Emilia?” “No, I’m good for now thank you Luca.” “I’m right in the reception area if you need anything and I mean anything Emilia.” “Thank you, Luca.

I started to divide the money from the Columba Crime family I wanted Isabella to deliver the money when she comes back but it such a high amount, I didn’t want her to go alone. Hopefully Luca would agree to go with her. I divided it equally between the French restaurant, strip clubs, dry cleaner and the corner shops, when that was done, I started with the money from The Gambina family which I will have to deliver but I’ll wait for Luca to come back then we can do that before we go home. Isabella walked into my office with the crackers which I immediately ripped open and took one. It made my mouth taste better and for some reason it did settle my stomach. “Isabella, will you call Luca for me please.” “Yes, off course.” Luca walked into the office when he saw the brief cases he immediately said “I’m not leaving you alone.” “Luca please this is a lot of money I know Isabella is capable to do this but I don’t want anything to happen to her and besides if you take the car and she jumps out it will be so much quicker.” “Fine but you don’t open the door for anyone.” “Fine I won’t.” I gave them the suitcases and they left me with my tea and crackers. They were probable gone for an hour when there was a knock at my door. ‘Fuck I promised I won’t open the door.’ But I had to go and look who it was. When I got to the door, I saw the building security guard standing next to Alberto. This might be safe so I open the door I mean I wanted the drugs away from my office and me I didn’t have a choice. I open the door to Alberto…
