Chapter 42: chapter 42

Xavier's POVWe all were sitting in my office. "So what's the plan?" Asked Ben."You will all go as I said. Italy project is very important. I will stay here and handle this situation." I told them."What about me? You said I would have to take Miss Belle and Evangeline to New York with me. Right?" Said Lucas. "So you want all of us to leave you here to deal with all the hardship alone?" Asked Anita."You really think we will leave you alone?" Said, Mark."It's not a request, I am giving you an order." I told them."But Boss.""No Ben, this discussion is over. Now we have to make furth..." I was cut in between by Anita."Xavier, have you asked Belle about it? Have you asked her, if she wants to leave without you?" Anita asked."Are you listening to yourself, Anita? Why would she want to live here? To a place where she suffered so much?" I asked her.What are they thinking? She would be damn happy after hearing this."You are not listening to my words. I am not talking about this place or this city, I am talking about you. Did you consider her feelings while you decided for her? What if she doesn't want to leave without you?" Asked Anita."What difference does it make to her, whether I go or not? Evangeline will be with her, Lucas will be there if she needed anything." I said. "She knew I was with her to keep her safe, and now Lucas will take care of that, then what is the issue?" I finished.Everyone sighed after hearing that. "Are you blind?" Said Ben."Or just fuc*ed up in your head?" Lucas added. "You are not helping, Lucas." Ohio said."But he makes every decision for her and not even consider her. He should ask her opinion too." Lucas growled frustratedly. "He made the same mistake before by sending her with that fu*ker, without asking her and now he is doing it again." "Lucas, behave." Ohio warned him."I will when he will start thinking about others." He said."I know you all think that I am pushing her away on purpose but you are wrong. Why would I push away my own happiness? You all know how I feel about her. After almost losing her, I promised myself that I will never part with her again. But the situation is changed." I took a deep breath. "How can I make her stay here, with me. When I am starting a war full of bloodshed. How will I protect her, when even I am not sure whether I will survive or not. You tell me, how can I become so selfish and ask her to stay with me in the middle of this?" I told them."You will be fine." Said Anita. She looked worried. She always took me as her own son, she probably will be freaking out from the inside."That's not the point. The point is, I have already thought about it thoroughly. I know what is best for her. I am not making the same mistake as before. I am just keeping her out of the harm's way." I said looking at Lucas.All were quiet. I sighed and looked at them."I..." I was cut by Ben."So what's the plan...again?" Asked Ben."Nothing. I want you all to move within the week. I will take care of the rest. Mark and Ohio, you will arrange the emigration of our men and their families to wherever the place they want. If they want to go to Italy with you then they are welcomed. No one will find out anything about New York." I told them."Why? I wanted to ask you, why Miss Belle is not going to Italy? Why New York?" Lucas asked. "Hmmm. I was thinking the same." Ben said."Do you really think that we will not face any problems there? Italy is the hub of the biggest and oldest Mafia gangs in the world. They already know that a whole gang is moving to their country. They will try to stir a fight or maybe try to join hands with us. We don't know. It will be like here all over again. I can not take the risk to send them both with you right now. Maybe when you will settle everything there. Now get it why it is New York. New York is a busy place. I am already talking to a friend there to give her a job at his company." I answered."You already planned everything. But Xavier, only a week? It will be hard to pack everything within a week. And have told her anything about this?" Asked Anita."Only pack the necessity. And I will tell her soon." I said looking out of the window of my office.I don't know how to tell her and what to tell her. Will she be okay with this? Will I survive this war? There are so many questions that only time can answer.**************Hello, lovelies.It's been long. I am here again. Now I will update on time. Sorry for keeping you all waiting so long.See you guys soon.
