《The Godfather {Being Edited}》¤Chapter Twenty-Three¤
Advertisement
After having lunch with Salvatore, Euphoria ended the tore of the house with him in his room. There he had so many thing to show her. Each one having a story of its own behind it. By the time it struck two thirty she had managed to get him to take nap. Euphoria knew he would get tired since he slept quiet late the previous night.
From his room Euphoria began to wonder the halls. Soon enough she found her way to the stairs. She made her way downstairs. She gave a polite smile to those she passed. Some gave real smiles while others give fake ones, or blatantly ignore her. Others went as far as pretending that she's not there.
Euphoria was so lost in thought that she did not realise her thoughts took her down under ground to the basement. Grunts and the sound of heavy equipment had her focusing on her surroundings. She passed to what seems like a weapons room and then a gym. What had her pulling and tugging at her curiosity was the room that was filled with more women than men with a boxing ring in the center. Pushing the double doors open she gained everyone's attention. Euphoria gave a sheepish smile then cringed as the doors slammed behind her. "Sorry." She muttered to no one in particular.
Soon everyone went back to what they were doing. Taking a sneak peek at her every now and then. There were a few instructors watching everyone else as they sparred on the mats. No one occupied the ring. She assumed that was probably used to assess their progress or their strengths and weaknesses. Her eyes danced around every man and woman and couldn't help but smile at how strong they seemed.
"What the fučk are you smiling at?" Someone spat making her smile drop and face the woman.

Euphoria stumbled back slightly as she stood much taller than her. She was drenched in sweat but she looked amazing none the less with her long blonde hair in a ponytail, blue striking eyes, pink overly pouted lips, high cheek bones, hollow cheeks and a thin pointy nose. Her breasts were large and her body skinny clad in a skin tight jumpsuit.
"Just all the training is fascinating that's all." She shrugged glancing at everyone as they took subtle looks at them.
The woman's eyes scanned her from head to toe before she scoffed. "This has to be some fučking joke. A little midget is supposed to be the queen?" She threw her head back and began to laugh.
Euphoria didn't find anything funny as she watched her laugh. "You're basically a child. What are you 15?"
"No I'm twenty-one." Euphoria stated with an eye roll. "But you sure are acting like a 15-year-old given the fact that you're laughing at my height." She shrugged lazily. "Plus this isn't a joke of any sort. I'm the queen as you put it." She inwardly cringed at the title as it felt weird coming out of her mouth. "I am with Demetrius aren't I?"
The woman scoffed. "You can't be queen you're so short and fat. Plus you don't even have hundred percent hearing. You aren't fit to be a queen in my opinion." She smirked as she one the lottery.
Was that supposed to hurt? Try harder sis...
"I'm short yes. Fat? No, thick honey with a big ole juicy ašs." Euphoria slapped her ašs for emphasis. "That Demetrius can't get enough off mind you." She threw in that comment which had the desired outcome as the woman started turning red. "Yes I don't have hundred percent hearing and so what? I'm not perfect." She shrugged carelessly. "And me not being fit for a queen? What are you fit for a queen?"

"Yes I am." She rose her nose, that obviously had some work to it, in the air. "I'd be better than you."
"Ok good for you." Euphoria congratulated. "You can be queen if you like."
The woman staggered back with a look of bewilderment over taking her feature. "Are you joking around or something? Or you're giving me the go ahead." She asked cautiously.
At this point the room had gone quiet. Waiting in suspense as to how the situation would be handled. "Yes I'm giving you the go ahead." Euphoria smiled at her brightly. "But while you're busy being queen I'll be busy raising Salvatore and being by my mans side until the day I die. So take whatever throne but don't you ever think of coming near my child or my man or there will be dire consequences."
"Dire consequences? What the fučk are you gonna do? Put me in a time out? And you're child. You're forgetting that you're black and didn't give birth to Salvatore. As far as I'm concerned you are not his mother. Oh, and Demetrius will never settle for an ape."
Something snapped in Euphoria. She had tried to handle this situation as politely as she could but she couldn't sit back and be insulted. With one swift punch her fist connected with the woman's nose. She screeched over her possibly broken nose as Euphoria swept her foot under her making her trip. Stepping on her back and placing pressure with her foot. Euphoria quickly grabbed her arms pulling them back painfully as she stepped on her back.
"It's Mr. D'Agostino and young Mr. D'Agostino to you. Know you're place because if Demetrius had to get wind of you insulting his ape then he'd do more than break your nose." She twisted her one arm with much force effectively popping the shoulder out of place. Stepping away Euphoria dusted off the imaginary lint off her clothes. "And yes dire consequences. Never mess with a woman and her children or child in this case. Next time I'll do more than just break your nose and pop your shoulder. Have your throne but stay away from my family." Euphoria glared down at the woman.
Euphoria swiftly turned around and made her way to the double doors. She paused and turned to the woman as another girl helped her up. "And word of advice, you might want to make sure that your nose is clean before you stick your nose in the air and look down on someone. We "midget" people can see everything." She stated before pushing through the double doors and leaving the basement as a whole.
As she made her way into the kitchen she quickly checked the cupboards before she found a glass. She filled it with water and then took a much needed drink. As she drank her water her eyes settled on the t.v. that had been placed on mute. Euphoria stepped forward focusing more on the image on the t.v. that is mounted on the wall. Euphoria choked on her water and viciously began to cough. The near by maids began to help her and pat her back as her eyes stayed fixated on the images that flashed on the local news.
