Kapitel 218: Chapter 93 - Gabriella (1)

April 22  — Monday

It's been a few days since the conversation I had with Mariano in his office. And he's been pretty hot-headed ever since. Not with me, I know that. But we get into arguments easily because of it. He's pretty stressed especially since the deadline is getting closer and we're still not near the goal.

That night we went to the underground fight, he talked to one of the silent billionaires who constantly visits Chicago—Mr. Ambani. He's been a long-time gambler in Mariano's underground events, but the Morellis have never sold him any drugs before.

While Mariano was busy doing his thing, I stayed with Uncle Victor, trying to distract him as best as I could. Until he got so suspicious of Mariano and Mr. Ambani talking in hushed tones that he questioned me about what Mariano had been up to lately because he sensed something was wrong.
