Worse Situation

“Boss, where are you going?” Bruno immediately confronted David, who was walking fast.

“Go home,” David replied in a lazy tone.

"Then please get in the car, boss. There." David pointed to a luxurious black car that had been neatly parked. David raised an eyebrow.

"No need. I can walk.”

"In that case. Let me accompany you on foot.” Those words actually annoyed David.

"Can you guys go?" asked David.

Bruno lowered his head. Not daring to look at David with the piercing gaze that he hadn't seen in a long time. It still looks just as scary as before. He missed that authoritative figure.

"Haaahh..." It was the umpteenth time David sighed.

"Can't you see how I'm doing now, Bruno? There's nothing more you can expect from me. I've turned into a coward. There is no more power left. No more money. No more fit and muscular body. My greatness has completely disappeared. Replaced by misfortune that keeps on coming. I'm so bad. So why else do you come to me? Go. If things get any worse, I suggest that you find a new leader. Seeking hope from me is futile.” David said it with a desperate face.

"No, boss! It can't be! So far, only you are the strongest. Only you can. No one can replace your role. You're the best we've ever had!” Bruno gave encouragement to his boss again.

“I will only be loyal to you. No matter what happens, Boss. You yourself know I am deeply indebted to you. During this difficult time, I continue to suggest your name to return to lead us.”

"No, Bruno. I can't." David still tried to refuse. Not letting that happen, Bruno continued to encourage his boss.

“About power, you will get it back just by you saying yes to our request for your return. We will help you to get that back. Wealth, all the wealth we have is yours. Everything from the start is always yours. And a fit and muscular body. You just need to work out as hard as you used to, boss!”

David looked at Bruno. “You know why I quit. You think I want to repeat the same mistake?” It hurts so much to remember what happened a long time ago. Compared to the insults he was receiving now, the pain he had previously felt was more severe.

Bruno lowered his head. “But only you, boss, are our only hope. We promise to contribute well. We can start all over again from scratch. Expel those traitors and reclaim all the power that belongs to you, boss.”

David is still not confident. "I'm not sure, Bruno. What if we started over again things would just get worse? Many innocent people will die. I don't want that to happen."

“We have to believe and try it. If not, how could we possibly know the final result? You always say that, Boss. It has always been your life motto.” It's true what Bruno said. There are still doubts within David.

“Boss, we really begged you. We really beg you. Please, come back."

There's silence for such a long time until David speaks again. "Okay. I will be back." A faint smile formed on Bruno's face. He bent his body back to 90 degrees.

"Then come on, boss. We take the car that has been prepared. We'll take you to your place of residence." David nodded his head.

"Please, boss." Bruno opened the door car for his boss. Before David got into the luxury car, a woman's voice stopped him again.

“DAVID!” David and Bruno turned their heads towards the source of the sound. That's his wife, Lily.

Bruno looked at his boss. He wondered what his boss would do to his wife, who had an affair. Look at Lily, who came out with Jack. When Lily wanted to step closer to her husband, Jack held her back. He still looks in pain and scared. There was a look of shame because of what the man in the black suit had done to him. He seemed to have lost his face. He really did not expect that David, whom he considered a poor coward, was a boss. A billionaire like what his man said earlier.

David noticed the interaction between Bruno and his wife. Unlike before, when his wife preferred Bruno, now Lily put Bruno's arm on her shoulder. Lily seemed to say something to Jack. And Jack seemed to object to Lily's words. Then Lily walked towards him.

"David," she called again. Bruno blocked Lily's view of her boss. He looked at Lily with a sharp gaze. But David's arm tells Bruno to just get out of the way. So he stepped aside. Let Lily talk to her boss.

"What is it?" asked David. Of course, because of the pain he received from this woman, David's tone became colder than before. And that made a sad face on Lily's face form. But David didn't care. He wanted to ignore this woman for a moment. So that Lily can introspect herself. He knew Lily's change was due to the arrival of Bruno and his men.

"Are you okay?" Lily asked with a worried face.

David did not answer. He looked at Bruno. "Give me the crackle bag your men brought," David ordered.

"Yes, boss!" Bruno called his men.

“Give all those crackle bags to this lady. Let her carry it." Lily was, of course, surprised by her husband's words.

"David. What do you mean?" Lily asked as she lifted the many crackle bags with a questioning look.

"I bought all of that for you. Happy birthday. Go home with Jack. You came with him. You should go home with him, too.” Lily gaped.

"No! Wait! But I want to go home with you, David. Bring—” Lily wanted to say. But David was already in the car and Bruno immediately closed the door. Bruno looked at Lily.

"Excuse me, madam," he said with a smile. There was a sense of satisfaction within Bruno seeing his boss treat this woman like that. Maybe his boss wants to teach a valuable lesson to this woman named Lily.

"Now we go to your mother-in-law's house, boss?"

"Yes." David glanced back to see Lily again. Actually, he felt sorry. But it was the same as what Bruno had in mind. He wanted to teach Lily at least a lesson. Going out with another man with affectionate gestures is considered an affair. At least, with this brief lesson from him, Lily can understand where she went wrong. Now he didn't want to think about women’s matters. There is something more important. The problem that Bruno and all his former subordinates were facing. What's really going on? Is the situation really getting worse?

    Lily watched the luxurious black car that took her husband away. Do not know where. Lily felt her heart tighten because of what her husband did. Her face was down. There is deep regret now. David had never acted like this before. Lily clenched her fists. Of course, this is all her fault. And now she really regretted it.“Lily.” Jack came from behind, embracing her hips. Unlike before, this time, Lily completely dodged. It made Jack seem surprised to see Lily’s change. Lily had been really friendly to him before. Did not refuse his seduction at all. But after what happened earlier, Lily’s attitude changed 180 degrees to him. Jack clenched his fists. In just a matter of minutes, things have changed so much. His brows knit together, his angry look clearly visible. But Jack tried to hide it from Lily. No! He hasn’t lost at all. After all, not necessarily the poor David is a boss, especially a billionaire. If indeed he is a billionaire, then maybe for the past five years he has been comfor

    “Listen carefully, if you don’t apologize to my boss for the baseless accusations you harshly uttered to him earlier. So I won’t hesitate to put you and your husband in jail. Don’t mess with us. You really don’t know who you’re dealing with, Mrs. and Mr. Aisley!” said Bruno again, with narrowed eyes.Mrs. and Mr. Aisley looked nervous. But they don’t seem to want to apologize. It was very disgusting for them to apologize to that David, whom they often called the unemployed fat pig.“We don’t want to!” she said, trying to look fierce. She looked at Bruno.“You really think I believe your threat, huh?! I also have a police nephew! I can ask him for help! Your words have no effect on me at all, huh! I thought you were a great man! In fact, it’s the same with the fat pig! Huh! I’m so sorry I complimented you earlier, damn it!”Bruno snorted. This old lady really has no manners. His boss really has great patience to have a mannerless neighbor like them.“Bruno. No need to be served anymore

    “David, come with me,” said the mother-in-law. David was confused but kept his feet following his mother-in-law from behind. Apparently headed for the kitchen.“Now tell me. What other trouble are you doing, huh?” she asked in a very annoyed tone.“I’m not causing any trouble, mother.”“Then who are they, huh?! There’s no way they suddenly came here. With you? Who are you, huh?! Don’t lie to me. They’re definitely not your friends. I know that you have absolutely no friends here. You’re just a stranger who came out of nowhere and got to know my daughter and you framed her to marry you so you could stay here. You’re just a parasite. So it’s very unlikely that you have friends as cool as them,” said her mother-in-law breathlessly because she spoke in one breath. Her condescending look was clear in David’s eyes.David clenched his fists. “Are you going to keep accusing me like that?” David asked. His face was down. For some reason, this time, he felt like he really wanted to fight back.

    “Don’t kneel,” David said. He crouched down to help his wife up. Lily sobbed.“I’m sorry, David,” said Lily. David knew Lily changed only because of the treasure he thought David still had. Though it will not completely be his anymore. David knew that, even if he was asked to return, he had a lot to face. Maybe even his life would be at stake. That was why David was still a little hesitant. But seeing the change in his wife, who seemed to have the opportunity to love him, David thought it didn’t matter.“You must have hypnotized my daughter!” the mother-in-law did not accept what was happening in front of her.“Mother,” Lily warned her mother.But instead Lily was glared at by her own mother. “Are you stupid or what, Lily?! Don’t be so easy to believe! Could this poor husband of yours have a plan! You know, he just got the money. Or maybe what Mr and Mrs Aisley said is true that he stole. Then he used the money to hire these thugs! Admit it, David! They are not your subordinates! “ Th

    Creak.David could finally enter the store. The moment he entered, all the gazes of the people in the same room immediately turned to look at him. Including Lily, as well as his mother-in-law. But his mother-in-law looked at him like she didn’t know him at all. David knew for a fact that his mother-in-law would be very embarrassed if everyone thought she had come with David, whose appearance was so unseemly enough to come in here. With the naked eye, everyone could see from his appearance that he was not someone from the upper class who could shop in a luxurious place like this.“Excuse me sir, can I help you?” David looked at the saleswoman. From the look on her face, David could tell she was pretending to be friendly. The frown on her forehead, and the stare, as well as her smile that seemed very forced, showed that she didn’t like David’s presence here.Creak!“David!” An exclamation with a high enough tone stole everyone’s attention.“What’s wrong, Onyx?” the saleswoman asked Onyx

    It shocked everyone in the shop to see that. Some even shouted because they were scared by the atmosphere here. The situation has become increasingly tense.“AAAAAAAAAA! HELP!”“Shut your guy’s fucking mouth!” Bruno immediately looked at the screaming and then gave threatening words with his sharp gaze so that those who were shouting at the same time immediately covered their mouths with their hands.“Who are you?!” asked the police officer. His face is no less fierce.“Get out your fucking hands from my boss!” said Bruno before he answered the question.“I was trying patiently to wait outside. I thought my boss was being treated well inside this store. But apparently, damn it! You guys treated him so badly! How dare you! All of you! Fucking jerk!”David sighed. He knew that eventually Bruno would enter the shop. But he didn’t expect things to get so heated up like this. Until Bruno and his subordinates brandished their guns.“Bruno. Stop it. There’s no need to do such a thing,” said

    “Now you!” Bruno pointed at the manager.“How dare you make a false arrest! Did you know that it’s also a crime?! You look so elegant, lady. All the women here look so beautiful and graceful! But all of you have rotten hearts! How can you just believe a man’s bullshit just now? Tch!” Bruno looked at all the women who were shopping. They all look so embarrassed.“I’m very sure no one is defending my boss earlier. What a waste of your beautiful faces! Your beautiful appearance and abundant treasures are meaningless because of your rotten heart!” Bruno’s words managed to make all the women who were there hurt. Lily is no exception. Her heart ached. She also didn’t even help her husband when he was so insulted. Lily actually acted as if she didn’t know her own husband.‘I am his wife. What have I done? What kind of wife am I?’ Suddenly Lily’s tears fell. She cried in a low, sobbing voice. This suddenly made her husband look at her and then startled.“Lily? What’s wrong? Why are you crying

    David and Bruno were talking one-on-one. David looks seriously looking at Bruno’s iPad screen. To be more precise, he focused on seeing photos of a person on the screen. Not just one person, but several people. Don’t forget that David also saw some CCTV footage that was sent specifically to Bruno’s E-mail account in secret. Everything Bruno had arranged so carefully. There are already trusted people in the mansion to regularly provide information about the master and his wife, also their children.“They’re not that different from the last time I saw them,” said David at last. Bruno nodded his head.“The only thing that has changed is dad. He looks so thin and fragile,” there was a sad tone when he said it. David’s grip on the iPad even strengthened. There was a burning feeling that hurt him when he saw his father-in-law in such a state. Back then, when he was still there, his father-in-law still looked so fit. In fact, they often exercise together. Golf, riding, shooting and other thi

    David felt strange about Lily's behavior tonight, who suddenly gave him a big enough gift. Even though the woman knew that it wasn't his birthday, not even their wedding anniversary. But he also still didn't protest much when he got the gift even though he was very surprised."I hope it's not something gross or scary in it. You know I don't like that kind of thing."Lily chuckled but didn't say a word. She just stared at the box and motioned for David to open it immediately. Because David also couldn't hold back his curiosity, he opened the box and immediately saw that there was only one object there. One small object immediately caught her by surprise when he took a closer look at it.A pregnant test pack showing two blue lines. He looked alternately at his wife and at the object, in utter disbelief. A surprise he never expected. His brain immediately turned. It meant that what Lily had called a cold this morning was actually a symptom of pregnancy. And she was only able to tell him

Indeed, if you think about it using logic, who else would do this to her son?

There was no longer anything they needed to do to bring Alessio's family down even more.The thing that was on Carina's mind right now was that her son still had a grudge against David after that night. Alessio obviously will not forget when David humiliated them in front of many people, especially in the morning they were humiliated again and kicked out of the Baldovino residence.

    Just as they imagined last night, about how many media participated in the party, in the morning hell finally came to Alessio and his family. Like a most accurate hypothesis that probably ninety percent of the people who attended the party also thought. Indeed, who could not guess the circumstances of the morning when what happened that night was very clear?Somehow, it all had to be put into words, but the current state of their mansion was far from desolate. Outside, the media is waiting for information from Alessio and his entire family about the truth about Mr. Baldovino's daughter and two grandchildren who were killed by Alessio.

He did this solely to repay Alessio's arrogance towards him at that time. This is the time for revenge for belittling his father-in-law."Now, you have absolutely no chance to say those arrogant words," said David when his call was picked up. Video call so that David felt very satisfied when he saw that depressed and annoyed look. David was sure that right now, Alessio was thinking up all kinds of cunning plans to prevent his defeat from happening. But all the cunning plans that Alessio tries to come up with will be completely useless."According to our agreement, Alessio. You will hand over all the treasures that you have taken from Mr. Baldovino."Alessio was silent for a moment hearing that masculine voice from the other side.
