Chapter 11 “Mr.Rossi, I am scared that you are not staying at the hospital like the doctor requested. Miss Rossi will be mad at David and me if anything goes wrong.” Daphne said to her boss worriedly. “I will be fine, Daphne. I will rest at home.” He said with his eyes closed and he rested on the car seat.” “Let me know at once if you feel pain in your body,” Daphne told him. Lorenzo fell asleep in the car due to his tiredness. He didn’t even know when they got to the front of his office. Daphne tapped him gently. “We are in front of the house, sir.” She announced. “What!” He exclaimed from his sleep. “In front of my house, why did you guys come here? You should've woken me up at the bus stop,” he complained. “Any little mistake can cause problems, huge problems. What if my wife comes out? How do you want me to explain the situation to her?” He scolded them. “We are sorry sir, we only thought about how…” Daphne trailed. “Shit, that is my mother-in-law’s car. You should get goi
Chapter 12 “Mr Lorenzo, your sister sent you a tuxedo, hand-tailored from your hometown in Italy.” Daphne informed Lorenzo on their drive to the apartment he shared with his wife. “I need you to pick a wedding gift out for the old couple, something exquisite.” Lorenzo requested from Daphne, “Do you have anything in mind?” “Yes, sir.” She smiled at the thought of the perfect gift that came to her head. “We are here sir,” David announced when they got to the bus stop. Daphne handed the nag that had the tuxedo in it to Lorenzo. “Young master!” David stopped Lorenzo as he was about to open the door of the car. “You should not call me that when we are outside Rossi's mansion.” he cautioned him. “I am sorry sir, how are we going to take you to the party?” He quickly corrected himself before asking “I will text you if there is a need for you to disguise as a chauffeur service.” “The gift would be brought to you at the party sir,” Daphne bowed down and Lorenzo got out of the car. He
Chapter 13 Lorenzo sat at a corner of the party till it ended. He got a text from Daphne that the gift had arrived. He went outside, he took the little box from the dispatch rider and a little note beside it. “The box contains one of the oldest diamond wedding bands the Rossi’s jewels had produced. It is rare and many socialites would kill to have it. I hope it suits your taste, sir.” Lorenzo smiled to himself as she read the note. He was pleased with Daphne’s choice of gift. “Lorenzo,” he heard his wife call his name. He quickly squeezed the paper in his pocket. “Yes,” He faced her direction and watched her move close to him. She looked so beautiful as she held a part of her gown up so she could walk well. He frowned his face when he remembered that it was Micheal that got her the dress. He wished that he was always rich so he could spoil her in the ways she wanted, nowadays, she wouldn't look him in the eyes unless she was angry with him. He just wanted to hold her hand as s
Chapter 14 “Where did you get this from?” Harold broke the silence that came after the shock of seeing the gist. “The Rossi’s oldest wedding band from Italy. This is expensive.” He said as he counted the figures of how much the bands cost with his fingers. Hazel moved in her seat, her heart skipped a beat when her grandmother opened the box. “It is fake, right? Duplicate stuff is everywhere these days.” Micheal asked Lorenzo. Hazel rolled her eyes at his foolishness. “Fake?” Harold took out the wedding bands and shoved them in Micheal’s face. “You call this fake? Are you slow?” He asked angrily. “Do not vex me tonight, Mike.” Micheal shifted in his seat, surprised by Harold’s outburst. “Take it easy, man. It was just a question. How is he supposed to get an original? If it is an original, Who knows where he got it from?” Lorenzo threw an angry stare at Micheal. “That is exactly my sentiment,” Harold said, Nana took the band from him and placed it carefully in the box. “The weddi
Chapter 15 David was wearing dark shades and black suit so that Hazel would not recognise him. He opened the door to the limo for Lorenzo and Hazel to get in. Lorenzo had texted David to come pick him and Hazel up before the dinner ended, he didn’t want Micheal to offer his wife a ride home. David shut the door after Lorenzo and he went to the driver’s seat as he drove them to their house. Hazel didn't seem to notice him as she got into the limo because she was annoyed, she just wanted to leave the party as soon as possible as she was uncomfortable already. “Is the limo ride on of the things you won from your lottery?'' Hazel questioned her husband without looking at him. “Yes,” Lorenzo lied. He was happy that she had asked if it was part of the lottery because he didn’t know how he was going to explain the limo that came to pick them up. “Wow, you must have won a lot of things,” She complimented him sarcastically. “What else did you win?” She faced him as she got curious. “Tha
Chapter 16 The doorbell rang, Hazel got up from her seat to check who was at the door. “Mom!” She exclaimed as she opened the door. “Why are you here?” “Do I need a reason to visit my daughter?” Rachel shoved her off the road and made the way into the kitchen with the bags of groceries she got. “I have come to feed you with the best food, look at how lean you are!” Rachel commented as her daughter walked into the kitchen. “Where is that man you married?” “Mom, his name is Lorenzo,” Hazel palmed her face. Lorenzo walked into the kitchen as soon as he heard his mother-in-law’s voice. “Good thing you are here.” Rcahel rinsed her hands. “Take out the beef from the paper bag and wash them properly. Make a nice meal for my daughter.” She pulled Hazel out of the kitchen with her, “A princess does not belong to the kitchen.” she let go of her hand and sat on the sofa. “Micheal is coming to pick you up.” Rachel brought out a box from her bag. “What for?” Hazel questioned her mother.
Chapter 17“Is that not our Young master on the chair?” Daphne called David’s attention to the person lying on the bench opposite his house.“Oh God.” David exclaimed, he parked the car and the two of them swung out of the car.“Ms Rossi will be so mad at us.” Daphne rubbed her hands against her thighs in a panic. “Is he alive?”David moved closer to his boss, then he put his finger on his neck to check his pulse. “He is fine, and he is also breathing.” He took his finger away from Lorenzo’s nose.“Let’s take him to the mansion before anyone sees us here.” Daphne suggested.“Okay.” David and Daphne went to deliver an invitation to Lorenzo in his place when they saw him lying lifeless on the bench opposite his house.They carried him into the car and rushed him down to the mansion.Leonora had instructed them that if Lorenzo needed to go to the hospital, they should bring him to the mansion for security and privacy.They turned on the heater as they drove to the mansion. By the time th
Chapter 18Lorenzo heard two knocks on his door. He knew immediately that it was Daphne. Each worker had a designated way of knocking on the door.“Come in.” He said softly.Daphne clicked on the recognition machine in front of the room and the door opened.The major rooms in the Rossi’s mansion had high security because their enemies try to attack them when they have events in their house.“Good morning, young master.” She went close to Lorenzo’s bed and grabbed his tab.“Good morning, sir.” He groaned without opening his eyes. “Wake me up in the next one hour.”Daphne filled out his task on the tab and she let him sleep some more. She came across the Divorce mail while she was working on his tab.“What are you doing?” He came down from his bed and took his tab from her. He saw she was checking through his emails.“Give that to me.” His facial expression changed to a cold one. “I don’t like it when people go through my stuff.” He said coldly before he went into the bathroom with the
