Chapter 5 Meeting The Godfather

• Finally we arrived at the house and Rodrigo led me inside the house immediately.
• As I stepped into the mansion, I couldn't help by gape at the beautiful interior. The polished marble floor shines like a mirror reflecting the soft light from the chandelier that hung in the ceiling.
• Elegant columns rose gracefully from the floor, supporting the ceiling which was adorned by intricate patterns and carvings. The walls were covered in rich tapestries artwork, each piece telling a story of its own.
• "You are late, why !" a cold voice snapped.
• I turned towards the direction and saw Carter descending the stairs, he was dressed in a black suit looking like a prince from a fairy tale.
• "Sorry sir, I was preparing" I replied when he got closer.
• Carter turned to Rodrigo, giving him a death glare but he didn't even flinch.
• "Follow me right now," Carter snapped and walked away.
• "Bastard" Abigail thought then followed him.
• I kept admiring the interior of the house until they arrived at a door which was golden in colour.
• "Remember, you are not meant to answer any question about us, leave them to me" I heard Carter said.
• "Okay" I replied.
• I know there is no way the Godfather would even notice an ant like me not to talk or ask me questions.
• Carter glared at me wanting to say something else but he didn't and we then entered the room.
• My mouth was agape as I stared at the long golden dining table with chairs that could contain twenty people.
• The ceiling was adorned with different kinds of chandeliers each with a different design.
• Even though they were different it was very beautiful and breathtaking.
• "Come !" Carter snapped when he saw that I was not following him.
• I walked towards the table where he was going and he motioned for me to sit down when I got closer to it.
• I sat down and continued staring, there was a door at the other side of the room which suddenly opened, a table of buffets was dragged into the room.
• "Is this a feast or what?" I thought about watching them.
• Four girls dressed in maids outfits were the ones that dragged the buffets into the room.
• Carter was already seated beside me and he was occasionally tugging at his tie.
• He seemed nervous and I don't know why, after waiting for ten minutes the door opened.
• A man came into the room and Carter stood up and I stood up too, the man bore a resemblance with him.
• He was wearing a black suit tailored to perfection highlighting his broad shoulder and imposing stature.
• His hands were weathered calloused, yet also adorned with a good signet ring and a Rolex watch.
• His eyes were piercing, dark and calculative, like the eyes of a wolf surveying his territory.
• An intimidating and cold aura was emanating from him which made one fall on his knees for him.
• This was no doubt the infamous Kingpin, he came to the table with Rodrigo and another man walking closely behind.
• "Take your seats" he ordered and we sat down back.
• Just as we had seated down, two maids came and started dishing out the food on their plates.
• "Umm, father this is her" Carter began pointing at me.
• My heart raced as his father stared at me, I turned my gaze away staring at my food.
• "What's your name, child?" He asked.
• But before I could even reply, Carter told him my name.
• "Her name is Abigail," that was what he said.
• The Kingpin didn't say anything but just focused on his food.
• "What do you do, Abigail?" He asked after a while.
• "She works in my head company," Carter replied again.
• I watched as his father narrowed into slits, he took a deep breath and continued eating.
• When they were done with the main course of the meal desserts were brought and that was when the Kingpin asked Abigail.
• "What did you like most about my son?"
• "Father, she likes so many things..."
• "Shut up ! Carter and let your wife speak !" Carter's father yelled at him.
• "Now speak"
• "um, I fell in love with your son the first time I saw him, he was looking so dashing and handsome that day. He came to our department to handle some things and that's how I met him and fell in love" I explained hoping that it was believable.
• "Hmm, that's was what I asked you"
• I bit my lips when I realized that it was true, I can't believe that I just messed up now.
• Someone was glaring at me and I didn't need to turn to know that it was Carter.
• "I am so sorry Sir, what I like about him is how caring he is towards me and his love for me" I said.
• "Sir, Abigail also loves me too and so we decided to get married" Carter chipped in.
• Carter's father just grunted and continued with his dessert which he was eating so slowly.
• Then his phone rang and he got up from his chair, "we are going to have a chat one day, Abigail" he said and then left with the other guy with him.
• It was then that Rodrigo sat down and food was brought to him.
• "You almost ruined everything !" Carter snapped at me.
• "I didn't do anything, did I?" I shot back at him.
• "You !"
• I thought he would hit me or something but he didn't but got up and walked out of the room.
• "You did a good job," Rodrigo commented.
• "Thank you" I said and smiled at him expecting him to smile back but he didn't.
• "Miss, do you want more dessert?" One of the maids asked.
• "Yes, thank you" I replied.
• She nodded and left and went to where the buffet table was, she came back with another plate.
• "Thanks" I said when she kept it on the table.
• "You like desserts?" Rodrigo asked.
• "Yes," I replied.
