Chapter-47

"But will you both even tell me why are moving out?"

Kuhu asks for the umpteenth time.

I look at her through the mirror of the car while driving and reply

"It's just that now Mr Ivanov is here so we need to accommodate him too and I am afraid that house is too small for him."

"Isn't it?"

I ask that pain in the ass Xavier who was sitting besides me

"Umm yeah, it is appropriate to move out now that I am here too."

He replies while glaring at me obviously angry at the fact that I put the whole blame on him.

That is what you get, you bastard for pointing fingers at me.

I say in my mind

"This is ridiculous. You both should have first discussed it with me. Also Niko got well adjusted there. Now to move him again when he is still recovering is stupid."

She says vexed that we both did it without discussing with her.

"Well what can I say sweetheart? Mr Ivanov just adore me so much that he was too eager to move out with me in another house."

I say obviously trying to annoy him.

Seeing him angry just pleases me.

"What? You are going to live with us too?"

He asks astonished.

"Now don't try to fool her Xavier. You wanted me all by yourself that's why you were so pressed on us moving out."

I say jokingly to aggravate him more.

And what does this fucker actually think that he would be able to guilt trip me into letting kuhu live alone with him.

On my fucking grave.

"I wish nothing more than to choke you right now."

He says seethingly

"Kinky, I like it."

I tease more.

His face is looking like a volcano that is about to burst and it pleases me so much to see him suffering.

"Are are you both okay?"

Kuhu asks stuttering.

She looks at both of us with a look of wary.

"Yes, we are perfectly fine. Aren't we Xavier?"

I say while smiling cheekily.

"Yes."

His reply is cut short as he looks back at her.

......................

"Is everyone settled properly?"

I ask Angleo while going through some important files.

"Yes, everyone is settled."

He answers

"Hmm."

A few moments pass but he is still rooted to his spot.

I look up at him and ask

"Is there something you want to discuss?"

I inquire

"Yes, there is."

He says after hesitating.

"Well then ask?"

I tell him

"Capo, I believe in you and your decisions but what are you doing right now is beyond my understanding."

"Elaborate what you want to say angleo."

I tell him so that he can let go of his hesitation.

"I never questioned you bringing back kuhu, landing on this island and letting her live with you even after knowing she herself left you and went away to live with russians but now to let these russians come here."

"You are even moving out with them. Do you know how dangerous it can be? We are at a risk of information breech. They can gather many sensitive information inputs."

"I know what I am doing is looking crazy but please allow me to do as I wish. I'll agree that I am being stupid but for far too long I have succumbed to the pressure of putting my work and mafisio first."

"I can't do that when it comes to kuhu. You out of all know that putting so much into my work was out of my hatred towards my father. I did it out of spite just to show him that I achieved what he couldn't even dream of."

"Now that finally I have something in my life that I am doing out of pure love I can't fathom boundaries. I don't know where to stop. All I want is to give her comfort and take away her pain."

A deafening silence ensuses as Angleo doesnot say anything but just stares back at me with a look of concern.

"I am afraid capo that for the first time in my life I am questioning your decisions and seeing that what you are doing will lead to nothing but destruction."

He speaks his mind.

"While I may be enamoured by kuhu and pushing past my rules for her. Do know one thing that when Lorenzo Accardo does something, he does it to win."

"So I have everything under control."

I assure him.

"For how long?"

He counter questions

"You know one day kuhu will eventually have to choose between you and the family she already has.

Are you sure she will choose you?"

He asks the hard hitting question.

"Well that time will tell but for now everything is going accordingly."

I give him a tight lipped answer.

"I doubt that capo."

He says with firmness.

........................

Waffles or pancakes?

What should I make for her?

I mull over various breakfast choices as I move down the stairs.

It is pleasant morning with sun shining high and clear skies. After the last night's grevious conversation with angleo I want to be at ease today.

So I decided to prepare breakfast for kuhu.

I move eagerly towards the kitchen but what I see just sours my mood.

That fucker.

He is chopping up something with knife on the kitchen counter while wearing a pink apron which has frills on its marigns.

That is my apron and he is wearing it.

Ugh! Gross.

I feel like puking.

Wait a minute. I was the one who was going to prepare breakfast for her but this son of a bitch got here earlier.

He stole my idea.

Mother fucking Thief.

I move hastily towards the kitchen and enter in. Making my way across the counter I stand besides him.

"So, you are cooking?"

I state.

"Glad your eyes are functioning."

He replies back.

"Of course they are but what my mind can't fathom is how much of a cheater one has to be."

I say while slamming my hand on the shelf.

"What do you mean, Mr Accardo?"

He tries to play innocent.

"I was going to make breakfast today for kuhu but you stole my idea and now are flaunting off in front of me by wearing my apron."

I say pointing to my precious apron.

"First of all I didn't steal your idea. I was planning on making her breakfast for long, even before you kidnapped her."

"Secondly this apron is ugly as fuck."

"Well then why are you wearing it? Give it back."

I demand my apron back.

"Oh, now I get it. You are jealous that my cooking skills are better than yours. So, kuhu will like my food more than yours. You are also afraid that this apron suits me more than you.

I am absolutely rocking this look."

"Suits you, my foot. You look like peppa pig in that pink apron. You can keep it.

I'll wear this one."

I say taking the purple apron with fairies drawn over it and showing it off to him.

"It's much better and I like purple colour more."

I say and put on the apron.

"Well you look like purple Teletubby."

He says while cackling loudly.

"Stop with your hyena laugh. You just can't handle that I look much prettier than you in an apron."

I tell him while rolling my eyes.

"Oh please, I look more pretty."

He obviously continues to lie to himself.

"Now come on begin with the cooking. Get one thing straight my pancakes will outshine whatever shit your cooking."

"In your dreams Lorenzo. My waffles are the only thing that kuhu is going to eat."

"We will see that."

I say and move towards pantry to get my ingredients.

.......................

I flip my first pancake and see the beautiful golden colour.

Happy with the colour I take it out of the pan and put in on my plate.

I grab the ladle to pour the batter on the pan.

But I halt and decide to first taste my pancake.

I should check the sweetness. It should be perfect.

I put down the ladle and break off a piece of the freshly made pancake. It smells really good.

For sure I am going to outshine that fucker.

I smile while thinking about my victory and look over my shoulder to see that he haven't even begin making his awful waffles.

A smile adorns my face as I finally put the pancake into my mouth to relish it's sweet taste.

But a salty flavour hits my mouth.

"What the fuck?"

I grimace and immediately take out the morsel from my mouth.

"What happened? Forgot your cooking skills?"

Xavier says while grinning after witnessing my reaction to my pancake.

Ignoring him I see my batter. What mistake I have done? I dip my finger and taste my batter. It is salty.

I immediately look at the sugar jar and see that instead of sugar it is salt.

"You cheated."

I yell at that fucker.

"What?"

He plays innocent again.

"You swapped my sugar jar with this salt jar and jeopardized my dish."

I say while moving towards his counter with the salt jar to show him the jar.

"I did no such thing. It's not my fault that you can't read."

He says

"I remember that I brought sugar only. You swapped it."

I say pointing my finger at him.

"Hey, stop pointing fingers at me. I did no such thing."

He says and grabs the finger.

This mother fucker.

I open the salt jar and pour the whole jar in his waffle batter lying in front of me.

"That's what cheater's get."

I smirk in victory.

"You son of a bitch."

He says and grabs my apron. I also grab his.

Suddenly he lets go of me.

Good for him that he finally admitted his defeat.

Instead he grabs his waffle batter and throws it on my apron.

"You spoiled my apron."

I yell in anger.

"Yes, I did."

He says triumphantly.

I feel my blood boiling. This was one the best aprons of my apron collection.

I move towards my counter and grab my pancake batter and throw it on his fucking face.

"Take that, you weak ass bitch."

I laugh while looking at his face.

"You motherfucker."

He says and grabs the ladle.

I also grab mine to hit him in his fucking head.

But he is fast and hits me first on my head.

"Oww!"

I grimace

"Stop whining like a bitch."

He says and laughs.

Filled with fury I pull his hair hard.

Now it's my turn to laugh as he yells in pain and agony.

"Pulling hair is not allowed."

He says.

"I decide what is allowed and what is not."

I reply him while laughing

"Then take this."

He bites me on my arm holding the ladle.

Now I scream in pain.

"What is even going on?"

We both look at the front and see kuhu standing.

Besides her was luca, Angleo and all the other men.

We both let go of each other and stand straight.

"Kuhu."

We both say simultaneously.

"Yes, me. What are you both even doing?"

She questions.

"Well we were just...

Xavier speaks but I cut him

"I was preparing breakfast for you, sweetheart."

I say and put the ladle down on the side.

"Yes, I was also just preparing breakfast."

That fucker speaks.

"But I already ate."

She replies

"What?"

I say astonished.

"When?"

Xavier also asks

"With luca. He took us all out to eat. Didn't you two know about it?"

We both stand there like two dumb bitches.

"Oh! Sorry. I forgot to invite you both."

Luca says sheepishly.

"I will kill you, luca."

I mutter in fury.

"Well please tell me when you do beacuse I wanna join."

Xavier tells me discreetly while mirroring my look of anger.
