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
Chapter 19“I will come and get you at seven pm.” Aurora closed the VVIP suite door.Lorenzo dropped his bag on the couch and laid down on the hotel bed. It was his first time in a luxurious hotel. The meeting went better than he expected, and he was tired from listening to all the shareholders' talk.His mind drifted off to Hazel and the divorce mail he received. A beep came from the side of his bed. He got up from the bed to pick up the call.“Room service. We are at the door, sir.” “I didn’t ask for anything.” He spoke subtly into the landline.“It’s the courtesy of our managing director. She also asked us to deliver some things to you. Can we come in?”“Yes,” The door opened, and a hotelier pushed a tray of food in, then the other hotelier came in with a rack with tuxedos on it.“Good evening, Mr. Rossi. Our Managing director has humbly apologized, and she’s requesting that you eat then wear one tuxedo of your choice here.” One of the hoteliers started.“We have an event tonig
Chapter 20“Where am I?” Aurora opened her eyes, staring at the room she was in, the penthouse as white as this. She had customised the interiors to her taste.Realisation hit like a moving wave. She wasn’t in her suite. Her body went cold as she noticed she was in a VVIP suite.That is enough to cause a scandal and her father would strip her of her position in the hotel and give it to her reckless older brother, who knew nothing about business.She held her head, trying to remember how she got to the suite. Memories of how she was drinking recklessly swarm into her head.Being a light drinker was her only weakness. That's why she avoids alcohol. Seeing Micheal had shaken her up. Her first love and the man that almost ruined her life.Mr. Rossi was the biggest defence she had against him, but seeing him with another woman still pricked her like a thorn.She got down from the bed and she saw a lean body lying uncomfortably on the couch.“Mr Rossi.” she thought to herself. “He must hav
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 22 The penthouse was soon filled with the best team of doctors in Delaware. Lorenzo had panicked when he saw his father pass out.He moved him into the bedroom then called on Daphne after trying his sister's line severally and she didn’t pick upDaphne came in with a troop of doctors and nurses in less than five minutes after he called her. He paced round the sitting room while waiting for the doctors to give him some report about this father.“You have a call, sir.” Daphne stretched the phone to him. “Ms Rossi would like to speak with you.”He took the phone, “Nora, I tried reaching out to you when father passed out but your number ”“I am sorry that I didn’t tell you I was out of the country. I didn’t even know I was going to sleep in. I heard about Papa from Daphne.”“We were just watching some ad, and he passed out.” He explained he was still very much in shock.“That wasn’t just some ad, Brother.” Leonora said bitterly. She knew the exact ad that could make her father g
