Lorenzo Rossi- The Quadbillonaire Chapter 21
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.

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

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 24The driver dropped Lorenzo in front of Aurora’s building, staring at the massive building. Lorenzo knew he had to get used to seeing exquisite buildings.Aurora’s house made his jaw drop and pondered in his heart if she lived alone in such a massive building or with her family.He read their hotel magazine during his stay there. It stated that the 29 years old Aurora wasn’t married.Before he pressed the doorbell, the door opened and Aurora was standing in some flimsy thing gown. He could see her glory beneath her gown. “Can I come in?” He stuttered as he looked away from her body.“Of course.” She ushered him in. Passing through the huge mirror that was hung on the wall, she realized she had gone out half naked to get the door.She hurried into her room to get some real clothes on while Lorenzo sat down on the chair.“I am sorry for my little moment. I wasn’t in my right senses when I came to open the door.” She sniffed and wiped the tears that wanted to fall from her ey

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 26. Leonora and Lorenzo checked up on their father before they left the house in the morning. They had called an emergency meeting so that Leonora could check through their plan.Lorenzo was nervous throughout their car ride. He hoped that he had done things the right way.Daphne opened his side of the car for him while Leonora’s assistant did the same. He took a deep breath as his sister walked to his side. He looked at her face. She was wearing a professional look. She was a true business woman, no one was capable of knowing her emotions.“Brother,” She touched his arm. “Do I have something on my face? You have been looking at me for a long time now.”“No,” he replied as they began to walk inside. “I love the way you pull things off.”She smiled, “I learnt all this from our father.”“I have a quick question.” They entered the elevator that was going to take them to the top floor.“Go on, brother.”“How come news about me hasn't leaked?”“The staff here have signed contra

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

I hope you had a good time at our launch event.” The interviewer started as soon as the Head of PR gave the directive to start.“You can pick up your tickets on our website for a cheap price, or at the ticket for a higher price to watch the testing of the AI glasses.”“Who knows, you might be one of the lucky people to go home with a pair of AI glasses.”“Back to spilling the tea. We still have Mr Lorenzo Rossi here with us.”“Mr Rossi had a little surprise for us.” The interviewer looked at Lorenzo.The camera was on Lorenzo again. “Hello everyone,” he said with confidence and a bright smile this time.

She wanted him to see and reply to the viewers' comments on the livestream.He let out a brilliant smile as he read the comment. “I can see your comments.” He looked up at the cameraman.“Thank you for the compliments. I see more people are more concerned about my looks, even when I have an exquisi

Epilogue
Epilogue Five Years Later. Leonora had forced us to come down to Delaware for Father’s memorial, instead of doing it separately, depending on the country. “I do not appreciate being here when I have a meeting in France,” Lorenzo whined over Lunch. “How do you cope with this rascal?” Nora faced Hazal with a disapproving look. “He is addicted to work as always, talking about being in France while we celebrate our father’s ten years memorial.” Hazel giggled, “You know how he is.” “Sweetie, are you taking sides with her? This is why you should never trust women.” Lorenzo pointed his fork at Nora. “She told me I could work as much as I wanted before I retire.” Then he continued eating. “I did tell him that, he kept saying he was bored at home and all.” “You are in this together. Nice. How is work though? I heard you have opened an IT center in New York and it is making waves.” “It’s all thanks to my husband and your husband too, he helped out with the set up and internal works.”

Chapter 76(TWO DAYS LATER)Hazel stirs in bed, her first movements since her emergency surgery two days ago. She slowly opens her eyes but can’t open them fully because of the brightness of the room. Lorenzo notices that she is trying to open her eyes and rushes to her side.“Hazel… Hazel, can you hear me?” he asks, his tone laced with desperation and worry. “I…can…hear…you.” She replied weakly.Tears of joy rushed to his eyes as he broke down in front of her. “I thought I was going to lose you. I really thought I was going to lose you.” He said in between loud sobs.Hazel watched with tears in her eyes as her man wept in front of her. Being too weak to do any other thing, she reached for his hand with a sense of longing.“I’m here, Lorenzo. I’m here.” She reassured him. This little action made Lorenzo cry harder.Hazel then remembers that she is with child. Panicking, she touches her stomach. “My baby, is my baby okay? Did anything happen to my baby boy?”“Our baby is fine. The do

Chapter 75
Chapter 75As he got into his car, the incident with Daphne was already behind him, he gripped the steering wheel in anger as he tried to calm himself. He didn't know what he would do to Aurora when he found her, but he didn't trust himself not to hurt her. He parked his car in front of his Company and rushed out. He rushed towards the elevator, ignoring the greetings of his staff. Before he got into the elevator, he stopped one of them and told her to call the police. She nodded weakly and ran to do that.The elevator door closed and he punched in the button that took it to the basement floor. He knew that if Aurora was here she would make sure that none of the staff had seen her when she was coming so asking them was pointless. She wasn't stupid and she knew her way around the company. The elevator dinged and he stepped out. He looked around but couldn't find anything, he only saw metal pipes and heard water dripping somewhere. He looked around and saw a small light coming fro

Chapter 74Lorenzo took his car keys from the chauffeur and ran towards his car. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of this before. Daphne and Aurora had worked together even if Aurora was only using daphne, she was the most likely person to know where Aurora was. He needed to get to the detection center as soon as possible, or else Aurora would get away with what she had done. He couldn't let her get away with it. She put the woman He is in love with in the hospital and took his child away from him. He owed it to Hazel to make her pay for what she had done. He couldn't even begin to imagine how broken Hazel will be when she wakes up and her child is gone, and it was all his fault. If only he had seen the signs earlier, he could have prevented this from happening, Hazel would be fine and their child would be alive. Aurora had to pay.He hastily parked his car and jumped out and ran inside to the reception."I need to see Daphne Giovannì " He said, out of breath.The lady at th

Chapter 73He sank into the chair, tears moved freely from his eyes as he mourned his baby in his heart. He had not gotten the chance to give it a name like Hazel wanted.Work had taken all his time that could not make time to have a talk about the baby’s name with his baby mama and girlfriend. She mentioned it a few times and he had told her to pick any names she wanted since she did a good job naming Sandro.She refused and offered to pick out some names then they would select the best ones of the baby which he agreed to but he never did.He had seen a tweet that Elon musk has many companies, 10 kids and he still replies to random tweets on twitter, no one is ever too busy to make time.He was rich, very richer than Elon Musk but he didn’t have ten kids nor did he use twitter, he had no excuse for not making time for his family.What was he running from? Was he scared that Hazel would treat him like she used to? Does he still have PTSD from the situation?He needs to see a therapist

Chapter 72Lorenzo tossed the cup to the floor and picked his wife up, Luca and the other guards rushed in. “get Alessandro and one of you should get the car.”“Yes sir,” Luca replied as a maid opened the door for him to go out. The maybach was sitting in front of the house, the chauffeur opened the door to the car. Luca put Alessandro in the backseat with his parents then he went to the back seat. He dispatched about thirty other guards to follow them while seven of them remained at home to watch over Nana.“Daddy, what’s wrong with mom?” Sandro rubbed his eyes, he was just waking up and trying to register what was going on.“Please put the car on lock,” Lorenzo asked the driver for Sandro’s sake. He was sitting beside the wall. “Luca, please call the hospital to wait for us at the entrance.”“Mommy is a little sick, we need to take her to the hospital for treatment.'' He hopes that Sandro buys his story because he was a smart boy and was going to read the situation.“She had blood

Chapter 71
Chapter 71Lots of things ran through Lorenzo’s mind as he drove on full speed home. Aurora was a dangerous person. It’s like she had a venom in her.Something strange had bitten her overnight. she felt so different than she used to be. He never thought he would meet that shade of her.Hazel and Alessandro filled his mind. What if she had kidnapped them? Poisoned them or even killed them. His grip on the car steering tightened. He was aware that he was breaking traffic rules but his family’s life was at stake. His heart felt like it was going to leap out of its spot.Going to see Aurora made him hear things he never thought he would hear, but he should have made sure his family was okay. What if he lost contact with Sandro and he had to suffer like him?This was a time for him to lose contact with his son, he didn’t obviously want that. He remembered his promise to keep his son under wings and raised him into a fine young man without following the family’s tradition.Universe gave hi

Chapter 70“It’s not too late for you to change your ways. You can still be loved, I can forgive you.”“She put out the stick of the cigarette she was smoking and opened a pack of gum then she threw a piece into her mouth.Watching Lorenzo’s movement, a grin formed on her face. “It would be great if you just stop all these like a preacher, it suits you" She said "maybe that's what you should have been doing instead of playing dress up as the CEO" "Watch what you say, Aurora." Lorenzo said, straightening his back, he wished she would see what she was doing was wrong but he knew he couldn't let her talk to him like that.He had worked hard on the Company for a long time and she had seen it all. She knew how much he loved the company "Or what?" She said, Her mouth pulled into a sneer,"what exactly would you do?" "Aurora…" "Do you remember that day?" She said, cutting him off."What day?" "The day you carried me to my hotel room, the day you ruined everything" she asked, her voice

Chapter 69“Why did you try to be friends with me in the first place? You didn’t want anything to do with me. I can remember how you made me go on that date with you. You were literally begging me.” He was furious, she wasn’t even showing signs of remorse. Her intentions were showing clearly on her face, how heartless and selfish she was.Her kind face was now dark. Lorenzo felt like he was seeing her deeds on her face. They were hidden, that was why he never saw them. It is better to say she was hiding them.He had never met someone that was so pretentious. Hazel’s family never hid their hate from him, this was pretty different to him.“Do you know the extent I go when I want something? Mind you, Michael and I had not broken up officially at the time he was seeing your wife, I planned to take you to make him jealous.”All Lorenzo could see was her pathetic face and the pathetic words flying out of her mouth. She was talking with pride and a sense of accomplishment. He should have j
