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
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 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
Chapter 28“Welcome back. 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. Daphne had handed him his tab according to Ms Conor’s orders. 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
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
Chapter 30Five years later. Lorenoz looked around his office with satisfaction in heart. The smell, the interior reeked of perfection.He could not remember the last time he spent up to a week in Delaware.The last five years have been the busiest period in his life. He went to several summits all over the world, business meetings, forming alliances with the most powerful people in the world.It felt nice to be back in Delaware for good, he knew he was going to be staying for a long time.Work was the only thing he used to ease this stress and conceal his emotions, the weak and poor Lorenzo had become a ruthless and wealthy Quadbillonaire.He had made his sister retire from work and placed her on a monthly pay. She almost crashed from the shock of their father’s death.She developed psychological issues, her boyfriend Thomas was her major support because he wasn’t available to console her.Someone had to take the reins of the company, Lorenzo did just that. They got married two yea
Chapter 31“Alessandro, turn off the TV, we need to leave.” Hazel yelled from the room she shared with her son.She contemplated on if she was going to wear perfume or not. She didn’t want him to think she was there to impress him.At the same time, she didn’t want her problems to reflect on her. She had been through a lot in the last five years.“I am not going there to impress him, not like he even cares anyway.” She convinced herself in front of the mirror and sprayed a reasonable amount of perfume on her body.She carried her cross bag and slipped in some candies for Alessandro in her pocket.“Sandro, I told you to turn off the TV.” She scolded her five year old son. He quickly turned it off.“Mama, are we going to see grandma and grandpa today? I don't want to see them.” He complained bitterly. “They don’t like me.”She knelt in front of him and held his hands “C'mon, Alessandro. They love you.”He jerked his hand from his mother’s grip. “That is a lie.” Hazel was aware that h
