CHAPTER 60

Casabella's POV
Oh my god! How is it possible he is here in London? Does he know I am still the one but using another person's identity?
No, he might just be here for a business meeting. I really need to get over it already.
"Are you alright Miss Madison?" Norman asked as he approached me.
"Yeah, I am fine."
"How did the meeting go?"
"It went well. Let's get out of this place immediately." I rushed my words, turning back to see if he was following me.
"Alright ma'am." He replied and urged me towards the car which I got inside.
The moment I got inside, I sighted him coming out from the restaurant. He was searching for me as his face held so much concern and confusion.
But wait a minute, it might be he knows the real Madison from someone or they know each other. I really didn't think about that, I guess I will have to ask Mary tomorrow about him but I don't remember his man again.

"Welcome home baby." Mum rushed up to me with a hug.
"Good evening mum." I replied, hugging her back.
"How are you feeling now baby?" She asked, checking my forehead.
"I'm much better now after taking the pain reliever you got for me."
"I know it will help you reduce the pain. So tell me, how did the meeting go?"
"It went perfectly but I met someone I knew back then in America."
"How could he be?"
"I can't remember his name but I think he knows Madison for sure."
"What's going on darling?" Dad asked, coming down from the stairs.
"Good evening dad."
"Good evening princess. Who are you both talking about?"
"She actually met someone who she knows and perhaps knew Madison as well."
"Is that so? You don't have to be so worried about it. I'm sure nobody knows who you really are except your mum, godfather, Norman, Mary and I."
"That's right baby. Even if he recognizes Madison, you shouldn't let him know who you really are."
"Alright, I will."
"Have you had dinner?" Mum enquired.
"Yes at the meeting."
"Okay. Go freshen up and come join us and watch a movie." She urged me and I obeyed.
******
After freshening up, I recalled Mary giving me an invitation card from one of the biggest business associates of the company inviting me over for his sister's engagement party.
I walked over to the bed stand and picked up the invitation card before checking the content.
The lady is also bearing the same name with the lady I met at the party Jace took me. I wish to meet the lady again but unfortunately, she's in New York while I am in London but I do hope we will cross paths once again.
I dropped back the invitation card inside the drawer before hopping on the bed but just then a short knock came through from the door.
"Yes, come in." I uttered as mum walked in with a box in her hand.
"Darling, you are about to sleep?"
"Not really mum. Do you want me to help you with something?" I enquired, sitting up straight.
"No baby. I got you something."
"Really!"
"Yes." She smiled, handing the box to me which got me curious as she urged me to check the content.
I open up the box carefully to see a rose-pink ball gown and a pair of silver earrings.
"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed, taking out the gown from the box.
"Do you like it baby?"
"I really love it. Thank you so much."
"It's nothing sweetie. Mary informed me you were invited to an engagement party so I had to get my baby an outstanding dress for the occasion."
"Thank you so much mum. I seriously love it."
"I'm glad you love it. Also, you have got to suspend your work at the office tomorrow for the party and one more thing, Mary is going with you as well."
"No problem mum. I'm really glad Mary will go with me."
"That's okay. I will leave you to rest now, okay."
"Okay mum." I replied and placed the gown and earrings back inside the box.
"Good night love." She smiled warmly and kissed me on the cheek.
"Good night mum." I answered as she walked out of the room while I rested back on the bed before drifting off to sleep.
Mark's POV
I really don't know what happened to her to have made her react towards me that way but I am sure someone is wrong somewhere.
Her voice sounds a little bit soft and sweet just like my Casabella and her attitude is really scary because the Madison I know has never acted that way towards me.
"What's up buddy?" Alex asked, joining me in the living room.
"I'm finishing up some work."
"I hope you do know tomorrow is my engagement with your sister?"
"I know that's why I am trying to round up my work now."
"Oh, so how did your business meeting go with Mr Noah? Tell me, you have bagged the trillion dollar deal with him?"
"It was really a disaster man and I don't feel like talking about it."
"Come on buddy. What happened? Did he refuse to sign a deal with you?"
"That's not the cause man. It's more complicated than that."
"Then tell me, maybe I could be of help."
"You wish!" I snarled to his face and continued with my work.
"I'm serious bro. Just spill the shit out already."
"He wants me to introduce my fiance to him before he bags the deal with me."
"Wow! That's really a complete shit to think about. What do you plan to do now?"
"I really don't know man. On one hand, I need to sign the deal and on the other hand, who will be able to stand in as my fiance in front of him?"
"I would have advised you to pick a woman from the office for the job but you don't really associate with ladies so it's really a hard thing to do and the lady you really love is nowhere to be found."
"Also something isn't right with Madison."
"What about her? Or are you thinking of informing her about the job?"
"I guess I will but she sounds strange."
"How?"
"I met her at the same restaurant but when she saw me, she got scared and left in a hurry."
"Really! Perhaps there's a reason for her reaction which you are thinking the other way round?" He suggested.
"I don't think so, man. Her voice sounded like my Casabella."
"I think you're just hallucinating, thinking it was Casabella."
"I don't know Alex. But the face is different yet the sound and the feelings are like my Casabella's own."
"Buddy, you're just confused, that's all."
"I'm not Alex. By tomorrow, I'll find out if it really was her I saw and if it turned out to be true then I will ask her why she was acting that way towards me."
"Just let it go and stay focused on finding the devil's eye."
"I can't loose my focus buddy on how to find that mother fucker."
"Okay bro. Let me go check out on my babe. Good night."
"Good night buddy." I answered as he left the living room while I kept working on my laptop.
I was close to rounding up the work when I got an email from Victor. I check the mail to see it on the devil's eye.
He wasn't offered the deal by the company but which made him leave the country. I still don't understand? What is he really planning and how do I have a feeling I know who he is?
I need to make my own plans before it's too late. I will set up a meeting with the other mafia kings across the world soon and find the son of a bitch.
Everything is just messed up for me. On one hand, I don't know where my lover is and on the other hand, it is the issue of the devil's eye more like the beast himself.
I need at least a little information about her even if she's happy wherever she is. I picked up my phone and called Leo on the phone.
"Hello boss."
"Leo, have you guys landed in Spain?"
"Not yet King but we're almost there. Is there anything you want us to do?"
"I just need information on Casabella."
"I haven't gotten in touch with my boys."
"Don't worry about the findings anymore. You can focus on that mission while I have Victor handle the matter since he's in America."
"As you wish, King."
"Okay. Call me once you guys land in Spain."
"Sure boss."
I know she will be found soon but why do I feel she's close to me? Casabella, where are you? I wish you're here with me, you would have been my girlfriend or even my fiance to the point I won't have to be worried about this business deal.
I will have to ask Madison for help but I do hope she will be willing to help me with it.
