David hugged his wife. “It won’t take too long. It’s just a family gathering. So, you don’t need to worry. You will also be very safe here. Alessio and his family wouldn’t dare to set their foot here. They know their limits.” “Hmm. I know.” Lily’s hug tightened. “Careful. Melt their hearts, honey. You can do it,” whispered Lily. Actually, Lily was anxious that her husband would not be accepted by Geoffredo’s family. Lily is worried that David will get humiliated. But again and again, David convinced her that was not going to happen. David hid his handsome face at Lily’s neck. Inhale her unique scent that he loves very much. “I will conquer them, honey. Trust me.” “Hmm. I trust you. Always.” *** And here are David and Lanzo now. They are still in the limousine. There are already many workers lined up to welcome them. Lanzo looked at his son first. “David, are you ready?” ask him. They are in London now. The country where his extended family still lives. More precisely, his father
David wracked his brain. What business start-up will he make in order to win this battle? David looked for many references on the internet. Looking for business opportunities that will get appreciation from the surrounding people. David even lost a lot of sleep. But finally, he had found an idea. David immediately discussed this with the parties he needed. Holding lots of meetings. There’s a lot of work to be done. David got a lot of trial and error during the first month. His condition had even worsened slightly. But fortunately, everything went very well. Today is the last meeting before tomorrow, David will launch his start-up business. Lanzo watched David making a presentation. The meeting was attended by the grandmother. Lanzo felt very proud. He can see a person’s potential if that person can be a good leader or not. And she could clearly see it in David. “So, I hope we can cooperate well,” he said at the end of the presentation. Everyone immediately clapped. Lanzo’s gaze shi
“ARGHHHHH!” CRACK! His room looked very messy because Peter had been messing it all along. The man’s emotions were very unstable. He himself had seen the report from his business with his rival. And when he compared it, the start-up business developed by David was above his. And even the achievement will be very difficult to catch up considering that there are only a few days left before the announcement of the winner. “Impossible. I lose?!” “I LOSE?! ARGGHH! FUCK!” Peter didn’t stop swearing. This is very worrying for his office people who had seen their boss’ terrible behavior. So, one of them called Peter’s parents so they could handle their son’s too-wild attitude today. Creak. Came Peter’s father and mother. They both were very shocked to see what happened inside. “PETER!” The mother runs to her son and then hugs him. “Stop it! What are you doing?! You will only harm yourself!” said the mother. She also already knows that 90% of the winner is David. That must be what made
The grandmother, Lanzo, and everyone present looked at Peter with confused looks.“Peter, what are you talking about?” asked Lanzo. He clearly didn’t like what Peter was doing earlier. Very impolite.Peter did not respond to his uncle’s question. Instead, he stared at the entire family in front of him.“I don’t agree with that decision because I found David was cheating in this battle!”Some really overreact. They even covered their mouths with their palms and looked completely shocked. Then, the gossiping whispers became louder and louder.David's and Peter’s eyes met. Peter gave him a light grin. David clenched his fists. But he was very calm. Instead, Lily was the one who was really worried.“David. What happened?” she asked.David looked at his wife. His hand stroked Lily’s arm gently. “Sshh… there’s no need to worry. We’ll see what he will do first,” David said to calm his wife.“One condition given by my beloved Nana and my beloved uncle is that there may not be the slightest tr
However wrong Peter was at this moment, there was no shouting for Peter and his parents or throwing things at them. With just a glare, it was enough to make Peter and the parents embarrassed. After Peter and his parents left, the party continued as if nothing had happened. Everyone there had a great time celebrating David’s success. “Congratulations. Hope all goes well.” David smiled while shaking hands one by one from the Geoffredo family. “Thank you. I will also do my best here.” They had completely forgotten about the incident a moment ago. David received congratulations from many people. The lively atmosphere coupled with the effect of the wine he drank made him feel very relaxed. The hustle and bustle didn’t tire him at all. He approaches anyone and responds to anyone who wants to talk to him. But David prefers to spend much of his time with his beloved wife. “I didn’t expect you to be here, honey. You are increasing my happiness. Tonight is one of the most beautiful nights
Finally, the press conference was held. As Lanzo and David had predicted it would attract a lot of attention from every media and society. Many reposted the contents of the press conference. It even made headlines in London. Not only there. The news about the press conference reached almost all parts of the world. And both are trending topics. Moreover, Lanzo’s replacement as the heir was someone previously unknown. The origin of David aka Javer has also become a topic of conversation. There had been some bad news about David, but Lanzo handled it well. Now all that’s left is all the good news about David. “It’s amazing how almost the whole world knows about you, David,” Lanzo said starting a conversation with his son. “From now on, you should call me Javer, father. Because that is my new identity. You have to get used to it,” said David in response. David could say his father’s call with familiarity. Lanzo was thrilled about it. Their relationship is getting closer day by day. “Hah
David’s arrival in Italy certainly attracted a lot of attention, especially regarding the news of the press conference that had not subsided. David’s arrival became the main course for many media. David also didn’t hesitate at all when there were many people who even interviewed him halfway. He understands this given how much interest the media has after the press conference was held. Instead, he took advantage of all that to announce his plans for the Baldovino family. As happened to him now. David had just left the Geoffredo Group. He was immediately confronted by many media on the way. Trying to keep walking and being a little ignorant, but also trying to answer their questions while walking. “What are your plans from now on after being the president of Geoffredo’s Group? Will there be a specific target?” asked one of the reporters, who was now walking beside him. “Well, of course, there are many agendas and targets in the future,” David answered simply because he didn’t have muc
“What do you mean?” asked Alessio. He eyed David suspiciously.David just smiled. This is the right time because Alessio has no other choice but to follow his game.“It’s not cool if we don’t have bets,” said David.“Say it to the point.”Alessio really held back his emotions now. David was really good at making him lose control. But of course, he can’t lose control. Because the possibility of winning from David is very small.“Sit down first, please.” David welcomes.“There’s someone I want you to meet,” David said.“But I don’t want to stress you out. So, I invite you to sit down,” said David.Of course, this made Alessio even more suspicious. ‘What does it mean?’But Alessio did not want to make it complicated. He wanted to know immediately what plan David was driving. He sat down on the chair. David seemed happy to see Alessio so obliging.‘So this is the genuine power. Thank you to Lanzo.’“Nice. Now..”David rose from his seat. Alessio paid attention to every movement made by Da
