Chapter 65“This gown is tight. I can’t fit into it.” Hazel yelled from the closet. “I think I am fat.”“Just wear my own clothes, you don’t even like those dresses.,” Lorenzo replied to her. He was in the bathroom, trimming his beard.“Am I that fat?” She whined. “I just want to wear dresses too, I mean we are going on a date. I didn't want to wear baggy clothes.” She started sobbing.Lorenzo dropped his clippers and rushed into the closet. “You don’t have to cry, look at this sexy baby. The dress can’t fit because of the baby bump and it would be more comfortable for you to wear my sweatshirt and joggers.”“But I don’t want to.”“I can wear matching ones with you so you don't feel alone. You can't wear a dress because of the ultrasound scan. We can check out some clothes after the date or before at the store, will that do?”“Mayne,” She replied shyly.“Okay,” he hit her ass and kissed her on the lips. “Dress up while I finish up in the bathroom so we do not miss the doctor’s appoin
Chapter 66“You are going to work today?” Hazel came into the room with a tray filled with nutritious breakfast for Lorenzo. “I thought you took the entire week off.” She placed the tray carefully on the table.She had woken early because of her bowel movement. Then she felt like doing a breakfast in bed thing for Lorenzo but he was fully dressed for work when she returned.He rubbed his palms together and pulled out the chair, “Breakfast smells nice.” He sat down on the chair.“Are you ignoring me on purpose?” Hazel asked, “I want to know why you are obsessed with working.”“It is not an obsession, Hazel, A lot of employees rely on me, I can’t afford to take..” “But if you die from overworking, who would take care of them? You will leave them to your sister? The whole burden?”He knew that he had overworked his body and knew how much he needed to rest but he could not do it knowing that someone is probably after his life and his family's.He was going to catch the darn person and lo
Chapter 67Leonora and Lorenzo waited in his office for a response from the legal team. The two of them silently hoped in their mind that it wasn’t what they were thinking. A lot of things were going through their minds but they were too tense to tell each other.The official telephone started ringing, The two of them rushed to see who it was, to their disappointment , it was Hazel. Lorenoz picked it up. “Hey baby, are you good?”“Yes, I am. Why do you sound like you are disappointed to hear my voice?”“I can never be disappointed to hear your voice. I sound like that because I am tired. How is your day going?”“Good , I wanted to ask if there is something you would like to eat, I am at the grocery store.”“I will eat anything you cook, just make sure you stay close to Luca, okay?”“Hmm,” She replied, munching on something.He suddenly got curious, forgetting all his problems. “What are you eating?”“Chocolates.”He smiled to himself, then his eye met Leonora’s own and she glared at h
Chapter 68After throwing him on the floor, he stormed into the hotel and went straight into Hazel’s office.She was sipping wine and smoking cigarettes. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. He could not tell if it was betrayal or his body was overreacting.She didn’t seem to be surprised at all. It dawned on him that he was a big fool.“You are supposed to be in Spain, Aurora, why are you here?” He said calmly. She may have done all that to him but she had been a good friend to him, he could not bring himself to yell at her.She didn’t reply to him. “I just saw Khaleed outside, he was cleaning the window, was he dethroned? What’s up with him?” he sat on the chair and looked into her eyes“He is doing his job, he needs to fend for himself.”“He is a prince, I suppose. That’s what you told me.”“That is what you wanted to believe, just bother me with useless talks.”“So you were lying to me the whole time and stopped speaking to me like we are friends.”“We are not friends?”“I am a bu
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
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 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 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
