Chapter 21He looked up from the tab, and his eyes met his father’s. Sweat trickled from his forehead as he feared his father’s reaction.Things turned out that way because he left the hotel room rashly, but he had thought that Aurora needed some time to herself.“I shouldn’t have taken her to my room.” He lamented in his head.Leonardo signaled to the driver to move.“Father,” He started but didn’t know how to continue. He had not just only exposed himself to some enemies but to the whole city despite the agreement he had with his father and sister.Leonardo looked at his son with keen interest in what he wanted to say. His eyes met his dad’s eyes again and he finally summoned courage to talk.“I.. Err.. I didn’t mean to get exposed to the press.” He said with huge disappointment in himself, wiping his sweaty palm on his pants.“It’s normal for that to happen among the rich and famous. This is your first scandal, and it’s not bad. It has no effect on us because they don’t know you.

Chapter 23“How did the meeting go?” Leonora inquired curiously from her brother as soon as his assistant put him on the phone.“It started well but it didn’t end well.” He sounded dejected.“What happened? You sound like you got disappointed.” “It is more like my past came to attack me.” He let out a sigh.“Fill me in, don’t keep me in suspense.”“Someone that knew me from the factory said I am not on the company’s side because of how I was treated at the factory. He said they couldn’t trust me and the others agreed with him.”“Really? They decided to not work with you for that reason? Did you tell them who you were?”“Yes, I said I was Lorenzo.”“Did you tell them that you were the chairman’s son?”“No. I didn’t want them to accept my opinion without considering the pros and cons.”“They wouldn’t do that. Brother, you need to get your act together and be assertive. You should have stopped them from leaving even if you had to use their incentives to threaten them.”“I don’t think t

Chapter 25It has been two days since the meeting. Lorenzo hoped that their project would come out successfully, just like he wanted his father to wake up from his mild coma.Seeing his father in that state really hurt him, and he was determined to ruin Micheal. Micheal coveted his ex-wife, Hazel, and stole their multi-billion dollar project. He planned to take his revenge on him.He dressed up for work while he was thinking of how to make sure no one went to A&D’s launch. Daphne was already waiting by the car for him. She greeted him as usual and they made their way to the office.She kept looking at him from the mirror as she noticed he seemed to be in deep thoughts.“Is anything bothering you, sir?” She asked concernedly. “No, it’s nothing.” He played with his wristwatch.“The chairman will wake up soon. Please don’t let that weigh you down.” She advised him.Your expression is dull. We don’t want the employees to suspect that anything is wrong with him from your face.” She adde

Chapter 27Lorenzo was nervous while the cast and crew were setting the lighting and camera up in his office.He didn’t know where the fear came from. His thoughts didn’t help the matter.He thought people would not care if he was a Quadbillonaire anyway. Nobody has ever cared about who he was.If nobody cared about his identity, it meant that their whole plan was in Jeopardy.Canceling the whole thing was no longer an option, his sister wasn’t even there to comfort him.Daphne came close to him and whispered in his ears. “Ms Gates will be here in 10 mins sir.”“How are things at the launch venue?” He rubbed his cold palms against each other for warmth.“Lady Leonora, I mean, Ms Rossi and the project team are handling it.” “Reports on the proceedings?”“The A&D has begun the livestream for their launch and celebrities are starting to arrive at their venue.”“What is going on in ours? The livestream has begun but we have less than one hundred viewers due to lack of publicity.” Lo

Chapter 29Leonora kicked her heels off her feet and put them together by the door. Her little action reminded him of Hazel.The only difference is that Hazel never picked her shoes up after her.She went straight into their father’s room and Lorenzo followed suit. She had managed to hold a conversation with Aurora before they dropped her off.Her weary was written on her. She could not hide her emotions as she saw her father. She laid on chest as tears crawled out of her serially.Lorenzo asked the caregiver to follow him outside. “What did the doctor say when he came? How is his condition?”“The chairman isn’t improving. The doctors took him to the hospital to run some tests on him.”The caregiver went into the room and came back. “He handed a file to Lorenzo.”Lorenzo open the file with mixed feelings. “The chairman has had multiple heart attacks in the past, which he managed. The doctors said he might not survive this attack.”Lorenzo yelled. The file fell from his hand. He sat o
