Chapter 38Hazle stared at the card he left on the table. She was fully aware that her decision was going to affect her future and her son’s own.Being Lorenzo’s mistress meant that she was going to be at his mercy and he could treat her the way she had treated him in the past.She also thought of Alessandro, he needed to go to a special school for smart kids which is very expensive in Delaware. She was stuck between picking a good life for son and her freedom. She picked her phone and dialed her cousin's number.He picked on the second ring. “Hello, Hazel,” He breathed into the speaker.“Harold, How have you been?”“Great, you?”“Not so good. My house burnt down and I need…”“I am out of town and I don’t have any money on me. I will call you back as soon as I get on my feet,” He hung up right after.He didn’t even give her a chance to ask for anything. Her pride didn’t want her to call her parents but it was of no use anymore.She dialed her mom’s phone number, it rang severally but
Chapter 39Hazel got into the front seat while Lorenzo tucked their son in the backseat, to her surprise.After ensuring the boy’s safety, he joined her in the front seat. He looked different from the way he was when they returned from the hospital. His distressed face was calm but he wasn’t smiling. He used to smile a lot when they were married.“Business probably changed him.” She thought in her face and continued to ogle him shamelessly. He looked good in his gray shirt and joggers, she wondered how someone could look classy and fresh in a simple outfit.“I see you can’t wait to have a taste of me,” He said.Her face turned red instantly. He had caught her staring. “Was he flirting with her?” She asked herself.“I didn’t get that.” He replied to her little murmur.“Eh… I wasn’t staring,”“I didn't say you were,” Another wave of embarrassment flushed through her. She didn’t know why she wasn’t being like that.“Don’t worry. I am happy to see that you are eager to begin your job
Chapter 40 His sixth sense clicked that he was hugging Hazel to himself. The heat from her body had warmed up his cold body under the duvet. He remained in that position, pretending like he wasn't awake. Just then his morning glory decided to act up. Her soft bottom grinded against his crotch. It didn’t help matters. “Stop moving,” He groaned and she stiffened in his arms. He had not said that out loud, did he? He let go of her and fell off the bed, face flat. “Are you okay?” She got up from the bed immediately. He looked at her, his eyes were on her tits that the robe was clearly exposing. The rope must have loosen over the night. They were firm to her chest and didn’t seem like she breastfeed before. She traced where his eyes went. “You pervert,” She kicked him and she covered herself up. He got off the floor. “We are in a sexual relationship now, get used to me staring,” She turned to see if her little boy could hear their discussion but he was too engrossed with the sho
Chapter 41“You need to return to Delaware, Casino,” Leonora’s icy tone said into the phone and she hung up immediately.Lorenzo felt so disturbed and he called her back but she didn’t pick up. He rushed his shower and came out of the room.Daphne was waiting by the door side.“There is an emergency at the headquarters.”“What emergency?” “Someone is claiming that he is the true heir of Rossi’ family and even the press has gotten wind of this.”“The shareholders have been calling our business line, they are probably thinking that our stock price might fall because of this.”“Give me a minute to think about this.” He excused himself and entered the other compartment of the room to put on his clothes.He came back outside fully clothed. “Put Ms Conor on the line. Tell her to stop promoting our brands and engage the security and legal team to get the press off our neck.”“Got it,”Hazel watched how he handled the situation like a professional, she didn’t know the details of what was go
Chapter 42“Brother, the nurses said he is ready to see us,'' Leonora informed the angry Lorenzo who was sitting at the reception.She was stressed out from walking to the ward and coming back to the reception. She had called her husband to pick their son from school after work.“He kept us waiting for eight hours, refusing to see us, are we not busy people?” Lorenzo complained bitterly as he hoped that Hazel and Alessandro were adjusting to the mansion.Daphne was back in the office, handling the after effect of what happened in the lobby. He folded his fist in anger. They were to spend millions to fix the whole place up and compensate the pregnant staff that got involved.The poor woman’s mental state was at stake.“We should go see him before he changes his mind.” Leonora persuaded her brother. At times like this, she wished their father was alive to sort things out.“This is not right,” he got up from the chair. “I have not eaten anything since yesterday.” He complained.His stom
Chapter 43Lorenzo munched on a slice of pizza hungrily. He ordered a box while he waited outside the ward, he was really hungry and tired.He Just wanted to lay his head on his soft mattress and forget all his worries. Leonora wasn’t not going to let him get any of that without explaining why Hazel was back in his life.His sister ended up sending him out of the ward after an endless argument he had with Adonis.He should have tightened his security and privacy since he got to Delaware. He was thankful Daphne had forced him to employ some bodyguards.Adonis might have even attempted to attack him. That would have been an eyesore.“I can’t believe you can stomach food in this situation. Do you have anything to say to me?” Leonora asked in disbelief at her brother’s attitude.Lorenzo gulped down some soda. “I wanted to tell you about Hazel but I had a lot on my mind besides the right timing never came,’“You could have found the time, if you think I was your family,”“C’mon. Don’t say
Chapter 44Daphne knocked on the door to Lorenzo’s room. “Good morning ma’am. May I come in?” she requested.Hazle got up from the bed lazily. Alesandro was watching tTV like she expected. She was a little stunned that the noise from the TV hadn't woken her up. Alessandro noticed that she had woken up. “Good morning maammy,”“Good morning to you Sandro,” She yawned.She stretched and put her left breast that popped out while she was sleeping back in.. She opened the door.“Good morning.” she replied to Daphne as her vision got clearer.She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Disappointment claimed her. What was she expecting? A heartfelt apology from Lorenzo? No.A sincere “I am sorry” from him would have satisfied her.“Young Master has some business to attend to this morning so he told me to pick your new home.”“He said to pick a suitable place that Young Master Alessandro can easily adapt to.” She added.“He left us all by ourselves and gave us a bunch of instructions to follow. M
Chapter 45“You didn’t have to sleep in the hotel,” Aurora pinched Lorenzo as they entered the party hall.“I just needed some air.” he replied as he rubbed the area where she pinched him without complaining.Aurora noticed that his mood was off and he might have a lot going on. He didn’t even nag her about the pinch.“You look like you are bothered by something.”“It is nothing. People are staring.” He replied to her briefly.“Let them stare, just talk to me.” “We should dance, Aurora.” He looked into her eyes.“You don’t look like you want to dance. Tell me what is wrong. Did you have a fight with Hazel?” She searched his eyes and she spoke to him.His pupils dilated as she mentioned Hazeel. “It’s her, isn’t it?”“We didn’t fight.” They stopped by a table and Aira passed the waiter that stopped by them tooserve drinks.Lorenzo wasn’t the type that drinks at functions. He always whined that alcohol would make him lose his ground as a businessman.“Did she try to boss you around agai
