chapter twenty seven

Sofia couldn't talk, her throat was truly hurting, there was something in the wine she has drank.

She looked at a smirking Bianca with confused eyes, there's no doubt Bianca did something to her wine, but why? Isn't she supposed to be her daughter?

"You must have a lot of questions" Bianca said squatting beside Sofia, whose eyes were already red from all the cough, her hand on her throat as the burn was killing her.

"Firstly, Sanchez is probably dead in his room and you would be joining him soon enough" Bianca said nonchantly.

Sofia's eyes widened, Sanchez is dead?!

"You both will do the falcone a favor by just dieing!" Bianca sneered.

Her phone rang and she picked it.

"Yes, She's already at death's door, I can't wait to become rich, and yes I killed the other man too just for you" Bianca smiled over the phone, she hung up after a while.

Sofia was still looking at her in shock, she doesn't even know what to think, she knows Bianca won't be killed cause she's not a falcone member so the rules doesn't apply to her.

Why would her own daughter want her dead?

"I know what you're thinking, and yes I want you dead, I know you've already willed everything you own to me and don't worry, I will take care of your fortune well" Bianca smirked at Sofia.

Sofia felt tears rushed down her eyes, she couldn't speak cause of her burning throat, her own daughter killed her cause of money! It sounds so unreal.

The daughter she had spent all her life mourning, the daughter she was so happy to find alive is now the one standing in front of her, smiling while she suffers.

"Just die already, you're wasting so much time" Bianca scoffed and stood up straight.

Sofia breathed heavily as she looked up the ceiling, maybe this is her retribution, she thought before closing her eyes.

"Finally" Bianca sneered and walked out of the room, her heels clicking the floor.

UNKNOWN LOCATION

"We should have planted bombs there, maybe he would have been dead by now" a man standing next to Gabriel said, his name is Russell, Gabriel's right hand man.

"Not yet, all the members of the la gente has successfully been eliminated, we are half way to victory, Sebastian is just a pawn in my game, he still has use, I can't kill him yet" Gabriel said.

"Hector won't just let you take his position" Russell replied.

"I know, that's why am clearing out his men and the fool is helping me with it, the next list of the la gente would all be my people, just like the way Hector took the lider position from Martin, I will do the same with him" Gabriel said calmly.

"What use is Sebastian to you now?" Russell asked.

"To end Carl, that man is a thorn that needs to be removed" Gabriel said and Russell nodded.

HOSPITAL*

"Who are you?" Fernando asked Wesley as he walked into Maria's ward.

"I'm her friend, you must be her brother, my name is Wesley Reginald" Wesley said nicely.

"Okay...." Fernando said and looked back at Maria while Wesley walked towards her as he stared at her with worried eyes.

'She looked so pale' he thought.

"All this wouldn't have happened if not for that man" Wesley muttered in alter hate, Sebastian was the cause of all these.

"What man?" Fernando asked, he had asked Isabelle a million times what happened to his sister but Isabelle refused to say a thing to him.

"It seems you have no idea" Wesley sighed.

"How did she end up like this?" Fernando asked again.

"You sister fell for the wrong person and he put her in this place" Wesley said before walking out and Fernando sighed.

He ran his hand through his hair.

Just what the hell is he talking about!

Is it the man at the warehouse?

Fernando remember the man that had come to help them when that woman who claimed to hate their father kidnapped him.

He knew he felt bad vibes from him, Maria was always careful, why involve herself with someone like that.

CLUB, MADRID

Bianca Walked into the noise place with a happy smile on her face, it was obvious she was happy, she would be going to Mexico tomorrow to claim Sofia's properties and unfortunately bring her dead body there for burial.

She doesn't need to work in Maria Vicente hospital anymore, cause very soon, she would be building her own hospital.

She was walked through the dancing crowd and went straight to the VIP section.

Sitting there was Russell.

Her smile grew immediately she saw him and she made hurried steps towards him sitting on his laps.

They kissed hungrily and passionately for some minutes before pulling out.

"You look hot, I miss you" Russell commented lustfully and Bianca chuckled.

She and Russell had been dating for a year now And he was the one who gave her the idea of working for Yolanda since she needed extra cash.

When she found out she was Sofia's daughter, how happy she was to be the daughter of a rich woman but Russell gave her another idea.

To end Sofia and take her fortune, though Bianca wasn't ready to do it yet as she had just found her lost mother but on the other hand, that woman left her to suffer all her life, killing an old woman a little early for her benefit isn't bad.

"We are going to be rich, finally, let's celebrate" Bianca said as she got up from Russell's laps to get the wine on the table.

"Cheers to our new life" Bianca smiled at Russell as she gave him his glass of wine.

"Cheers" Russell smiled back as they click glasses and drank from it.

Bianca sat back on his laps and they resumed kissing.

ITALY*

"What do you mean you can't find him" Hector complained.

"We looked everywhere but we can't find him, I'm sorry" Lucas apologized and Hector scoffed.

How can Gabriel go missing just like that, maybe he is running away from Sebastian.

"Get me the list, I would be appointing new members soon" Hector said and Lucas nodded.

He would just have to leave killing Gabriel to Sebastian.

NEXT DAY

FUNERAL MEXICO, 3PM

The people present in the graveyard weren't much as Sofia didn't have much friends.

They all wore black as they each paid their respects, and finally the coffin was being dropped into the soil.

Bianca stood there crying her eyes out while Sofia was being buried.

Isabelle was standing at the far end of the funeral, she had arrived in Mexico not long ago when she heard of Sofia's death.

Adrian had told her Sofia would die but she didn't expect it to be this soon, after all Sofia took care of her all her life and she was grateful to the lady.

Her eyes caught a crying Bianca and she couldn't help but scoff, she doesn't know why she felt the girl was faking her tears and seeing her cry like that irritated Isabelle to the core.

After the burial, Isabelle and Bianca were led into the mansion as Sofia's will would be read, they are the only family Sofia had.

"Why did you come?" Bianca asked Isabelle who planned on ignoring her but Bianca held her back.

"You know fully well my mom would give everything she owns to me and you still come here, you're nothing but her niece" Bianca complained.

"You're talking about property when your mother just died, what kind of a daughter are you exactly" Isabelle scoffed, she removed her hand from Bianca's hold and went into the house while Bianca gritted her teeth in anger.

She would definitely deal with Isabelle when she gets everything.

The lawyer brought out Sofia's will and read it out.

To their surprise, everything Sofia owned was given to Isabelle.

Bianca was in rage immediately she heard that, she stood up and collect the paper from the lawyer roughly reading through it herself and it was indeed true.

Isabelle was in shock, she definitely didn't expect that.

"How's this possible!" Bianca yelled at the poor lawyer.

"This has been miss Sofia's will for a long time, thou she had asked to change it but she didn't follow through with the process" the lawyer spoke professional and Bianca almost exploded.

She thought Sofia changed it, she heard Sofia talking to the lawyer about changing the will while they were in Mexico but she didn't expect Sofia hadn't followed through with it, maybe she thought there was still time.

She should have waited a little longer before killing Sofia or she should have made sure Sofia had changed the will.

She had so much faith in the fact that she was her daughter and she would do anything for her in no time.

How stupid can she be?!

"If she wanted to change it doesn't that mean, this will is invalid" Bianca said and the lawyer sighed.

"She only mentioned it to me but didn't change it, this will is very much valid" the lawyer said and Bianca was going to strangle the lawyer when Isabelle held her.

"Thank you" Isabelle said to the lawyer and the man nodded before leaving.

"You bitçh!" Bianca yelled at Isabelle.

"Watch your tongue, I can't believe you'll act like this, if you keep this up, I would think you killed your mother for her money" Isabelle complained.

"So what if I did!" Bianca yelled.

Isabelle paused and her eyes widened.

"What did you just say?" She asked.

"You will pay for this!" Bianca said Instead and left the house.

Isabelle slumped on the couch as she massage her temples, it better not be what she is thinking.

UNKNOWN LOCATION

"How's the girl?" Gabriel asked Russell.

"She's still in a coma" Russell replied.

"Kill her, that would fuel Sebastian's anger more, make it look like Carl did it cause his son is distracted by her, that way Sebastian would kill Carl" Gabriel said.

"How would I do that" Russell asked confused.

"Caroline, contact her" Gabriel said again and Russell nodded.
