Mr Bertram froze his steps by the door immediately and stared at his son with a blank expression on his face.
“Are you okay? You sounded like you just saw a ghost” his Father rolled his eyes and Aurelio laughed up lowly.
“Pardon me father, I was just so surprised” he replied as he stood up and bowed his head in greetings.
His Father released a sigh and walked in further then took his seat on a very comfy couch.
Aurelio stared at his father deeply trying to see if he can guess what his father has to say from his facial expression, but he got nothing and then he sat down opposite his father as he picked up the magazine in his hands.
“So good morning father, hope you slept well ?” he asked his Father and heard him laugh
“ Aurelio, this is unlike you.. just cut it off and be the real you I know” his father chuckled and then a maid walked to him serving him a cup of black coffee.
“Thanks” he muttered as she bowed her head low and left.
Mr Bertram turned back to look at his son then sighed as he picked up the cup of coffee from the glass table before him and took a sip into his mouth.
“Dad, you and I know why you are here isn’t?” Aurelio asked his dad already beginning to loose patience.
“I know that right son, and I’ll let you know what your grandpa concluded” his father replied and kept the cup down back to the table
“We had a discussion last night like you know, and a lot was said about you..if you can really handle the company and at the same time the organization” his father said and Aurelio groaned lowly
“Dad, please don’t tell me you told grandpa that I can’t. Did you?” Aurelio asked his dad and let his head fall
“Nope I didn’t son, I know my son is capable of it but still your grandpa came up with another talk” he replied
“wait a minute, what’s the conclusion… that’s Is what I want to know dad” he replied getting tired of his dad talks
“Easy as ABC son, you will know and then it would be left to you” he replied.
Aurelio picked the magazine up from the table and covered his face with it groaning lowly.
“just tell me what it is and cut the long story short please father” Aurelio replied
“You need to get a lady pregnant!!” Aurelio Dad’s loud voice rang in his head and he slowly put down the magazine he had used to cover his face giving his dad a questioning look.
“Dad… excuse me?” he replied clearly shocked by his dad words.
“you should know by now that your grandpa doesn’t want things to end in a generation, he likes his things ongoing from generations to generations and in this case you’re demanding for power.. that is what you need to get It from the both of us” His father replied leaving him shocked again.
“Since when did the both of you start this.. off course getting a lady pregnant isn’t bad or hard, I can” Aurelio replied with an appealing look.
His dad scoffed at his reply, his facial expression showed he was ready.
“This is not just to get a random lady pregnant, a lady that you’d raise your child with!, a Lady you’d be sure you can live with!” he demanded as Aurelio rolled his eyes, he was clearly taken aback
“Seriously all these Dad? Just because of what!!” Aurelio groaned aloud throwing the magazine in his hands away.
“No more words, your grandpa and I already agreed to it” His dad said before he stood up and Aurelio stood up along with him.
“Dad..wait” he said immediately stopping his dad from leaving
“It is already clear to you Aurelio, easy as ABC, get a woman you are sure of will be a good mother to your kids pregnant.. just the pregnancy is all you need to get this position. You can see how easy it is so don’t make it sound or even look hard Aurelio” his dad replied
“oh yeah, it is easy you are right but still…dad” he sighed
“Aurelio, your grandpa has given you just 2 weeks to come back with a result and if you can’t.. you won’t be given the position and power you want. That’s should be clear to you” he said and again taking Aurelio aback
“What?! How am I supposed to use 2 weeks to do that” Aurelio replied with his jaw dropped down
“Aurelio.. I am your father, I Know you f*ck, it should be easy too for you. I’d advice you.. don’t even think of sleeping with a slut.. you would just be sent abroad immediately..that is a total disqualification” his dad said
“This is sounding like a contest to me dad, but you and grandpa said it is my right.. why all these??”
“It us your right yes! We know! But still..it is your right to get a responsible woman after you who would produce an heir for you too” he replied
“And to make things easy, any gender is accepted” he added and Aurelio sighed as he fell back on his couch
“Where do I get a responsible lady to sleep with?” he asked no one in particular as he looked around lost in thoughts
“I am sure you can Aurelio, just two weeks, she doesn’t have to be a month pregnant.. you can bring her to us once you’ve confirmed she is pregnant. And then we get things done” he replied and Aurelio nods his head
“if that is the case… there is no problem Dad” he replied and stood up
“In that case, talk to you later” he replied and then he made his way out through the door
“and yeah Selina, what a nice coffee you made!!” his dad exclaimed
Erica had arrived at her workplace 6 minutes late and just as she sneaked in she met her colleague.
“Erica?” Molly gasped in shock to see her. Erica jerked back at first then she sighed squeezing her chest
“why are you late? Mrs Sandra had been asking of you” she added
“She did?” Erica asked even though she knew yes she would
“Yes I did Erica, why on earth are you late?” she heard her boss voice from behind
Erica turned back to her immediately with her head low as fast as possible.
“Ma..Ma..I’m sorry I didn’t mean to” she replied immediately and heard her sigh
“I am forgiving you because it is your first time.. and I know you didn’t mean to Erica, but next time.. don’t even make it possible to come late.. by all means you shouldn’t be late because I will have no excuse to give Mr Rogers” she replied and Erica nodded her head immediately and raised it up to see Mrs Sandra leave
“Get to work now” she said to her and immediately Erica left with her colleague after releasing a heavy sigh.
“ Damn you are lucky.. this same Mrs Sandra don’t pardon lateness.. I envy you” molly laughed beside her and left with her to resume for the day.
Aurelio had gone back to his room to think of all his father said.
Grandpa? What on Earth made Grandpa think of that?
Gosh this feels so heavy on me. “It’s okay Aurelio you can do this” he said in his thoughts and then his personal guard walked to him.
“Sir.. what’s next?” Rowan asked him and then he sighed
“Bring me the ladies.. you should know my type, elegant, beautiful, and top class ladies”
“Bring them one by one to me let’s get this done” Aurelio replied as he tucked his hands into his pocket
“I want at least three of them ready by tonight” he replied
“Are you going to sleep with them at once?” Rowan asked him and he laughed
“Threesome? No.. one hour one lady” he replied and then Rowan coughed lowly
“Sir isn’t this still risky.. what if the three of them gets pregnant for you at the same time?” he asked him and then Aurelio eyes went wide
He hasn’t thought of it yet . “Gosh” he clicked his tongue and turned to Rowan.
“This isn’t easy as I thought or as he said, I’d take the risk Rowan.. I have just two weeks to get this done” he replied and Rowan nodded his head as he left his room.
And then Aurelio angrily sat on his bed.. “Grandpa???” he slapped his head
“Does he wants me to get married indirectly.. even if that’s what you want..I can get a divorce” Aurelio laughed and then he thought of a lady he had met in one of his Dad anniversary party.
“Zayn Hartley” he smiled and picked up his phone.
She is one recognized lady in the city, she’s a beauty and at the same time a top class one.
“She could be the one” he smiled dialed her number to call her.
After several rings, she picked up at last.
“Hey Dustin.. sorry I missed your call” her voice came up
“It’s okay Hartley, how are you by the ways?” he smiled
“ I’m very well thanks, how are you too? Is everything okay?” She asked him
“ Yeah, I was wondering if you can come over today.. I’m a little bored at home here.. and I missed the cake you made me” he replied and folded his lips in hoping she would agree
“Seriously?” she laughed
“It’s okay Dustin, I left the company minutes ago heading home so I’d come over right away, you are lucky I made some this morning so I’ll be coming over with the remaining I have with me” she replied and he almost screamed out happily.
“Thanks Hartley, I’ll be waiting then” he replied as he ended the call with a smile on his face.
“I am irresistible.. I am sure I will get you Hartley.. even though you can be picky” he smiled and went to get dressed immediately making sure he smell good.
“I don’t mind sleeping with 6 of you tonight.. I must get what I want” he said to himself and smiled before he fell on his bed with his arms apart.
45 MINUTES LATER
Aurelio was already in the lobby waiting for her, in no time she would arrive.
And just as he had expected..she walked in with her men behind her.
“Hartley” he smiled as soon as he saw her and went to her as they exchanged hugs..
She signaled her men to excuse them and they did.. that brought inner joy to Aurelio!
“great! Going well” he smiled and said In his thoughts.
Hartley then sat down beside him and took out the cake.
3 cup cakes, a vanilla, strawberry and blueberry flavored cake.
Immediately he took a bite from the vanilla cake.. “Damn, just as delicious as you are” he started with and Hartley laughed out
“Aurelio.. are you being serious, are you trying to flirt?” she laughed and then he did too
“Oh no.. I am just saying the truth, just that I haven’t tasted you” he smiled and then she laughed out
“Aurelio.. you better quit it, I am engaged” she said to him. Her last words hit his head like a baseball bat.
He turned to her and saw her waving her left hands at him showing him the giant diamond ring around her finger.
He gulped down immediately and coughed out.
“You’re engaged??”
Aurelio felt like a shock in his heart!What did he just hear? One of his target is engaged already?.Like what the hell??.“Aurelio? Aren’t you happy for me?” Hartley asked him waving at his face and then he shook his head coming back to reality as he gulped down.“ off course I am Hartley , it’s just so shocking to me.. and anyways Congratulations” he faked a smile at her.She returned a smile and turned back to the cake “why do I feel you’re not happy?” She asked him lowly as she took a piece of cake to eat.Aurelio chuckled and picked a glass of wine to sip, he turned to her as he dropped his glass down the table and spoke up.“Like I said, I am still surprised” he replied with a shrug“Do I look like a lady that won’t get engaged?” she asked him as she folded her legs and then he laughed lowly.“Don’t get me wrong Hartley” he replied and then she stood up“Okay, if you say so.. and by the ways, I have a date with him tonight.. I’d be leaving now” she chuckled and picked
Few days later, Aurelio sat on his king sized bed with his legs crossed and a glass of Brandy in his hands.He had a smile on his face, apparently he believes something good is coming.Yes! He had slept with four ladies in the past few days and since then he hasn’t called anyone of them to ask them what’s up. None of them ever knew the reason why he called them to sleep with them.There and then he thought of what Rowan had said“What If they all get pregnant for him at once?” The thought of it made him burst out into laughter“I know who I am.. Aurelio Bertram, they would have to abort the baby and then I pick just one that I want” he shrugged and sipped from his glass with a side smile on his face“Grandpa, father, you both think you’re smarter than I am? Well it would definitely surprise you that I was able to get a lady pregnant” he laughed and got up from his bed and took slow steps to his dressing table to pick up his phone.Aurelio stood in his bathrobe and l
Aurelio had a blank expression on his face, deep down he was boiling up in anger.But should he blame any of them?Aurelio grabbed his bed spread in his hands, squeezing it tightly as he clenched his jaw.The first week is over, what do he do now?He has only next week and he has no single person in mind.Or should he just tell them the reason why he sleeping with them?“That’s absurd!” He clicked his tongue and got up from his bed.A phone call came in immediately.“What now!!” He yelled out angrily and went to reach for his phone.Rowan was the one calling… “what do you have to say now?” he sighed as he answered the call placing his phone on his left ear and placed his right hand on his waist. “Sir how did it go?” Rowan asked him and Aurelio chuckled“it is nothing good, grandpa and father really know it won’t as easy as I thought and now I’m stuck in the middle of nothing” he replied“I am really sorry boss, what do we do now?” he asked him and Aurelio sighed“I have no idea r
Erica had the trays in the trolley as she pushed it along with herself to the elevator.This is actually going to be the first time she would be serving a VIP guest.She don’t know why but she just felt nervous and shaky. “Could it be I’m going to serve a president son? Or millionaire? No a billionaire??” she thought within herself and took a deep sigh as she pushed the button to the 4th floor“ Whoever it would be I need to look good” she smiled and giggled lowly as she cupped her cheeks and then arranged her uniform.It was a short beautifully designed black and white skirt with a white shirt on.She had her name tag on her shirt and then she adjusted that too more properly then stood firm with her head up.“ don’t chicken out Erica, just do your job and leave” she said to herself and then minutes later, the elevator made a ‘ding ding’ sound. The doors went open immediately and just as she made an attempt“ Okay! Let’s get to work now Erica “ she said to herself and ma
Erica eyes went wide immediately. she paused breathing as she tried to understand what was going on now. Aurelio slowly sucked from her lips that tasted more than strawberries in his mouth. Erica was still thinking of what to do, Should she push the stranger over her away? Or let him move on with what he was doing. Aurelio’s lips were so soft against hers and she couldn’t deny how good he was with the kiss. His left hands slowly trailed down her long, smooth and slender hands to her cheeks as he cupped them into his hands. The feeling of his soft, smooth palm against her cheeks and his soft lips moving on hers fired her up immediately. She felt a kind of shiver down her spine as she folded her toes immediately. Erica found herself slowly closing her eyes, as she returned the kiss. Aurelio could feel her lips moving in perfect synchronization with his, he could not explain how he was feeling inside of him. This isn’t the first time he would be kissing a lady, so why this feel
It was morning again, Erica could feel the heavy cool breeze against her bare skin.A hand was wrapped around her small waist that pulled her back to something that felt smooth. The atmosphere was filled with a very beautiful smell that no one can deny, was it the smell of love or what?Can love be perceived??Erica was still asleep on the comfy smooth soft bed that smells like raspberries and strawberries at the same time. She felt a very warm breathe against her neck and that was enough to wake her up.Erica eyelids slowly lifts open, her vision were blurry at first and she could a mirror before her. She slowly blinked her eyes again and turned her head to see an empty bottle of Brandy on the glass table before them and then she rubbed her eyes gently.The moment she opened her eyes again, she could recall where she was.Erica eyes went wide immediately, she looked down the bedspread to her waist and could see Aurelio’s hands around her.She gasped immediately seeing she w
Erica head fell low between her lap and then she heaved in a sigh.Rowan had heard what he wanted to hear, he was okay with the little he heard and immediately he left the house and went back to the car.In no time Aurelio should be awake and be expecting him around.Immediately he got into the car, he revived the engine and speedily drove away. Erica raised up her head and chuckled, “why should I even cry? What ever is ahead of me.. I am willing to accept it” she said to herself and got up her feet as she dragged herself to her bedroom, climbing up the stairs wasn’t as a easy as she thought but she gathered herself and went into her room then the bathroom after she took off her clothes.“If there’s anything I wish for now, is that I don’t get what I will not be able to carry and I don’t see that guy around.. I have no idea what of what I’ll say to him when I do” she sighed and let her head rest in the bathtub.The feeling of the water above her chest was a huge relief to her, she
About minutes later, Aurelio had left his father and grandpa for his room. He feels it’d be more better if he had gone to his room so he won’t even tell at anyone innocent.He was standing by his window, yes his eyes were looking outside the window but his mind wasn’t there but elsewhere thinking of what to do next.His father had just said it all.. Yes they told him the truth which he had never known about women ovulation.He had thought it would take them few days and then the result but then he already heard from his father that it would take a week or more.He was more than frustrated already. He thought of how he would avenge Aryan and his clan but how would he when he has no power to give out orders?Should he just relax and let his Grandpa handle Aryan?His father thinks he is just trying to get on Aryan because of the issues they’ve been having since when they were little and growing up.The both of them had never smiled at each other, it’s either they yell or throw insults
Mr Bertram with his wife and the rest of his men. They had killed every of Aryan's men. The house looked very scattered, dead bodies everywhere. “I need to see my son now" Mrs Bertram said as she turned around to make her way back to the room she left.And just as she was few meters away, she Heard another gunshot coming in from the room.“Nooo!!!" Mr Maynard yelled out.She felt her heart skip a beat, Mr Bertram ran into the room immediately and saw Aurelio on the ground, bleeding…Aryan was on the ground with a side weak smile.“You bastard!!" He yelled and took out his gun to shoot Aryan countless times till he got tired of firing bullet at him.He ran to Aurelio and crouched beside him, “What the! It's just my leg dad" Aurelio replied groaning and laughing at the same time.His dad pulled off his shirt and tied it around his leg “And so?" He replied“We need to get you out of here" his mom replied and then Aurelio was carried out of the room down the hallway to the car.Th
Aurelio was stopped outside by two of Aryan's men.Just those two standing by the entrance, “He wants to see me" Aurelio rolled his eyes standing alone outside.He has no doubt about his grandpa plan, it will definitely work out.One of them called Aryan on the phone and after their short conversation, Aurelio heard Aryan say “Bring him in" he replied and ended the call. “Raise your hands up" he ordered Aurelio so he could search him.He rolled his eyes with a sigh and raised his hands both in the air.The guy standing before him started by touching his chest and sides then down to his waist.Aurelio raised his two fingers in the air, giving signal to one of his men with sniper.Immediately he touched his pocket and felt there was a gun there, Aurelio sent his fingers forward and stepped back allowing the sniper guy to do his job.Immediately he pulled the trigger straight at his head, his other colleague was about to take out his gun to shoot Aurelio but Aurelio was so Swift to take
Aryan had been tampering with his family years back and even until the present day.He took away Aurelio's grandma, hurt every member of his family and now he has his mom.Aurelio will never allow him take away the woman that brought him into this world.Erica hands slowly slid down his chest, she was also taken aback by what Aryan had just said.Is it her Lola?“You heard me right? You think I was dumb by keeping quiet all those time?" Aryan scoffed.Erica then slid herself down Aurelio's body, now wasn't the right time for her to be romantic.“You bastard, you think I'll fall for you games?" Aurelio asked him and Aryan laughed.“Do you think this is joke? Hear her yourself!' Aryan yelled at him and just few seconds later, Aurelio heard his mom voice from the other end.“Aurelio, don't listen to him. I'll be fine!!" She hurriedly said before Aryan pulled her away by her hair.She screamed aloud because of the pain, “you bastard!" She yelled back at him and just then Aurelio heard
Erica covered her ears with both of her hands. Her eyes were tightly shut close.She really don't know what to do now..get up and run?Where did the gun shot come from?She smwas about to open her eyes and then she heard another gunshot “Ah!!" She screamed again.“Erica!!" Rowan called out and she dropped her hands down from her ears as she opened her eyes and saw him standing by the door with a pistol gun in his hands.He ran to her immediately and stretched his hands out at her as he pulled her up.“R-r-rowan" she stuttered“You're safe now, I'm here" he replied“Where is Aurelio?" She asked him as she looked down at the ground.Her body was still shaking..“I'm not sure he knows of what is happening now, I'm really sorry I came in late" he apologized“A maid ran to tell me she heard your scream and a gunshot" he continued and she nodded her head.“How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked immediately as he checked up on her“No, I'm not.. except that my hands are covered in
This rare kind of Joy filled the atmosphere. Aurelio doesn't know if he has ever been this happy.Erica has brought him Joy, and not just him but his family too.“Ohhh my dear! I am gonna be a grandma of twins" Mrs Bertram squealed happily.“Oh dear Erica, you've brought me happiness, this kind of happiness I've been searching for" she said already breaking down into tears.Erica left her seat and went to her as she crossed her hand around her shoulder.“Lola, you shouldn't cry" she said lowly to her"I am just so Happy dearie, how can I pay you” she asked Erica" What? Of course not..I should be the one to ask you that Lola, I am so happy I have you now” Erica said to her and pulled her to a hug.Aurelio was still smiling at the result in his hands, his mind wasn't with Erica or his Mom.Mr Bertram was also looking at the photo." Great news! I am gonna be a great grandfather of twins, can't wait to see my great grandkids” Mr Maynard replied happily." Thus really calls for celebrat
Chapter 48: My baby gender Few weeks LaterAurelio was dressed up in a grey suit and a white long sleeve shirt. He's up again, another beautiful morning.He's got a lot of plan for the day, “Aren't you gonna eat something before leaving?" Erica asked him from behind.He took his last step down the stairs after planting a kiss on her neck.“Neck kisses early in the morning honey?“ " Is there anything wrong with that?“ He replied with a side smile" It's just.. I felt... Uhmm, don't worry “she replied. Aurelio laughed lowly.He understood what she meant.Neck kisses are really one to spice up that moment, and for Erica, she gets turned on after getting lot of kisses on her neck.“I can eat you instead" he replied and walked back to her as he wrapped his hands around her neck and lowered his face to hers to kiss her lips.Erica sucked from his lips gently, her eyes slowly went closed as she moved her lips in perfect synchronization with his.“You should have breakfast then leave for
One big opportunity Aurelio can't afford to miss, he has no idea of what has taken Erica his beloved.But still, he loves her, or should he say the new Erica?A side smile appeared on his face the moment Erica's hands moved to his chest.He clenched his jaws and exhaled lowly “You know what you are doing right?, You'd make me eat you here, right now" he replied with a smirk.Erica's eyes went wide immediately, she folded her lips in and laughed lowly.“Dear future husband, I'm beginning to fear you" she joked and turned around to leave but Aurelio pulled her back by waist to himself.“Honey" he whined with a pout.“To the shooting range!" Erica exclaimed with a finger raised in the air.“Yes ma'am lead the way" Aurelio replied and pulled away bowing his head and stretching his hands to the door.“No, you mean…after you. I don't know how to find my way there and you know” she laughed out and hit his backAurelio stood back up laughing, " Let's go then” he replied and held her hand.An
Aryan was seated in his office with few of his Men with him. "Boss what do we do now? Aurelio already found out and killed your men" One of them said to him. Hearing that made Aryan more angry, He angrily slammed his hands on the desk before him and pushed his seat back. "How dare those bastards! They couldn't supply the information before they died like rats!" he yelled out angrily. Aryan ran his hands through his hair with his jaw clenched, his eyes went to the glass of champagne on the desk. He rolled his eyes immediately and reached for the glass "Stupid champagne!!!" he yelled out and threw the glass to the wall. Everyone around flinched back out of shock, yes they knew he was angry but they weren't expecting it to get to this extent. The glass went to the wall and shattered into pieces, Aryan was still groaning out loud. "Boss I think you should calm down" One of his men said to him "Don't tell that fvcking shit! Do you have an idea of what I'm going through?? And you'r
She was slowly melting at his Dirty words, “Don’t forget I’m pregnant” she managed to say to him with a side smile. “Yeah I won’t, I can’t… It would even help you more” he smirked and leaned forward to her to place a kiss on her lips. MEANWHILE, at the warehouse. Rowan had dealt seriously with Micha to the point that he was already half alive and half dead. His face was already swollen as a result of several punches he got on his face and beatings he got too. He already had a cut on his temple and another on his lips. “Your colleague here is having a good rest now, you could have been in this position, but you kept talking like a tap that can never stop running” Rowan said to him “And that is why you are getting what you’re receiving now” he added as he stepped back to get a whip for himself and another for his other men. They all understood what he was going to do next and then, Ray, who was standing close to Micha pulled him up and ripped off his clothes. Another went to pu
