Carina glared. “Impossible. You!”Carina’s gaze turned to the eldest son. He was grinning. “He’s the one you were trying to find, isn’t he, mom?”The corner of Carina’s lips lifted. “How?”“Mrs. Baldovino. Long time no see you.”Anthony Houston. Her husband’s personal attorney. He stood up to approach Carina and then held out his hand. Carina shook it without hesitation.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Houston,” Carina replied.Carina didn’t expect Alessio to find Anthony. This man was hidden by her husband somewhere. He hid him because it was this man who kept Baldivino’s secret. Her husband didn’t want to risk him being found by anyone.Carina hasn’t seen him for years. Since she was looking for this man, but nothing. She didn’t think Alessio had found him.“How could it be? Alessio found you?”Anthony smiled. He didn’t say much. He clearly knew what Carina wanted. So he just smiled.“I know what you want, Madam,” he said.“Of course. That’s why my husband always hides you from me and everyo
It was easy for Alessio when he found this man and made this man on his side. Anthony is famous as his father’s personal lawyer, who is very loyal. But apparently, still, money can make this man betray his master. In fact, Mr. Baldovino always gave Anthony whatever he wanted, so that this man would always be loyal and feel satisfied working with him. Too bad because Anthony chose to be a traitor to his master.“All the manipulations have been done. I’m so excited to get all the legalities done. It’s only a matter of time until I get all those treasures! Hahahahahaha!” Anthony grinned, then laughed with great satisfaction.***“How is it? Tell me the progress,” said Alessio. Anthony gave all his explanations to Alessio. What is needed and what to do. He also explained that it would take time for the treasure to fall into his hands. Alessio just nodded and asked Anthony to take care of everything.Now Alessio is in a special room for him to train with Diego.“It will be very satisfying
David was still speechless. Is the father-in-law serious?“Father, are you serious?” asked David to make sure after a split second of letting silence envelop them.Mr. Baldovino’s gaze was very firm, but somehow, David could see the emptiness there.“I said what I said,” he said.“Starting tomorrow, you will start all the activities. What did Alessio used to do. You must have known what he was doing since you were in charge too in the past.”“It’s an honor for me, father.”Mr. Baldovino did not respond. He played on his cell phone. Would like to contact his personal attorney. But Anthony could not be reached. This made Mr. Baldovino’s frown stand out even more. This was actually the first time that Anthony didn’t pick up his calls.“What is he doing?”Once again, Mr. Baldovino tried, but the result was still the same. “Father? There is something wrong?” he asked.“My lawyer. He couldn’t be reached. I want to talk about a few things,” he said.David didn’t respond anymore. But when his
“This is the place, father.” David himself drove his father-in-law to the place where Alessio’s slaves were imprisoned.Mr. Baldovino didn’t say much. “Take me in.” This building looks like an ordinary building. It doesn’t show at all that there was a cruel incident in it. Indeed, he already understood this.Mr. Baldovino looked at the scene before his eyes with hurt feelings. His heart ached. Along the way, he saw prisons that held many slaves. David was right, there were lots of children and underage girls. The girls looked very beautiful. The goal, of course, is for them to get a heavy price for those pretty faces, and of course, their virginity.“Father, you can see yourself. This is the reason why I want to destroy this business,” said David.“Sir.” David stopped walking until reflexively, the wheelchair’s pace also stopped. Mr. Baldovino and David looked at the boy. Very dirty appearance. His face was dusty. There are scars that have started to dry up. Judging by the freshly dri
Anthony didn’t speak at all. He put on a poker face. Master Baldovino’s gaze shifted to Carina and his sons. They put on the same expression. Actually, when viewed with feeling, there was deep disappointment in the gazes of the two.“Anthony! Why did you come with them?!” asked Mr. Baldovino again.“Oh, honey. You look so healthy since I left this mansion,” Carina joined the conversation.Carina took a step, but they immediately stopped her steps when Mr. Baldovino’s two bodyguards blocked her path. Carina was a bit surprised, but then she laughed.“Ah, so now I’m being treated like this?” she asked. Obviously, she was very offended. Carina was used to being treated like a queen from a long time ago. These workers didn’t even dare to look her in the eye, out of fear and reluctance, but now, look, they were looking at her with piercing eyes full of threats as if ordering her to back off and not get close to her husband.‘Damn it!’ Carina cursed inside. But she tried to quell her anger.
Mr. Baldovino looked down at the document in his hand which had just been handed over by Anthony, his personal lawyer. He glanced at the document and then looked at his lawyer in turn. In those eyes, there was a deep sense of disappointment. As for Anthony, the man didn’t feel guilty at all. He looked at Mr. Baldovino without emotion. It was as if their relationship of years meant nothing in his eyes. In contrast to what Mr. Baldovino feels.“Why?” he said.“Why did you betray me, Anthony?” he continued. Mr. Baldovino is still unable to open the contents of the document. His gaze was fixed on the lawyer. Or soon, Anthony will be his former lawyer.Anthony was silent. He preferred not to say anything.“I give you everything you need. That’s not enough for you?” asked Mr. Baldovino again.“I can’t believe you did this to me. You did me dirty, Anthony. I thought you would always be loyal to me.”“Sir, one more time. With all due respect. I invite you to read the document. I have made eve
Alessio looked at all the workers here, who were looking at them with wary eyes but confused at the same time. They seem to don’t know what will happen next.“All of that old man’s property has passed to me! Now I am the new owner! I am the one who has supreme power. All treasures, even all of you, are mine now!” shouted Alessio.David clenched his fists. He looked at his father-in-law. There is not the slightest objection. David approached quickly.“Father,” he called.“Is that true?” he asked.Mr. Baldovino looked at David and nodded his head.“All of you! Get them out of here!” David ordered the bodyguards. When they were all about to carry out the task, Alessio immediately threatened.“If you touch even an inch between us, I will make sure you are fired! Did you guys not hear what I said before?! You all are mine! Everything has changed hands to be mine! You don’t obey those bastards anymore! Or that old man! Only my and my mother’s orders are for you to carry out!” said Alessio t
David shook his head. ‘No. I will not let it end like this!’He kept crawling. Trying to reach his father-in-law. But what happened next was, he was again pulled and then beaten. After that, David didn’t know what happened because he lost his consciousness.‘No. I don’t want it all to end here. I don’t want to fall into the same hole a second time. They, the bad guys, can’t win. Father, I will not die. I will finish everything until it is completely finished. I will put you back in power. You won’t lose everything. I’ll bring you to your former glory again.’ That was his promise before he completely lost consciousness.‘But, am I going to die?’Even David himself did not know.***“HA!”David woke up and immediately rose to a sitting position. His breath hitched. It’s like a bad dream.“Father!” His eyes darted to the right and left. It was not in his room, but he recognized this room. David hurriedly got up. But he winced in pain. He saw his whole body wrapped in bandages. There was
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
As he had previously imagined, when he announced himself as the new president of the Baldovino Group, a lot of media was highlighting it. Now his name is again a trending topic in the media. Leading two conglomerate companies at the same time is clearly not something easy. There are even many other businessmen who also did not expect that in the end, he would get these two important positions.In almost every way David has to deal with the media which always doesn't want to be left behind about the new innovations that will come to the two big companies.Even when he chose to heal for a while at the mall alone, there were still many journalists who followed him and even interviewed him halfway."How did you first decide to run two companies at once? What about Mr. Baldovino?" asked one of the young female journalists now walking beside him. The young woman did not use the mic at all like journalists in general. She didn't even use his cell phone to record David's voice either. Maybe s
At first, Diego tried to restrain himself. He tries to stay sane. But in the end, he wasn't strong either. He screamed loudly while holding his mother's body. His screams were of course heard from outside. People who happened to be passing by around the apartment immediately stopped and in a few seconds only stared at the apartment without daring to enter it.However, several men who at that time were also doing their morning exercises had the courage to enter the apartment to make sure that there were people who needed help there. Because some of the men entered, in the end, other people also followed, including several teenage girls who were no less curious after hearing the screams.They were so shocked when they saw Diego crying hysterically. Even more surprised when he saw the person Diego was currently sitting on. A woman with a blue face and neck was reddened by rope marks.They just looked at each other for a moment because they were too surprised to see that. But then one of
Even though the police haven't found the perpetrator of her son's murder, Carina is very sure that the culprit is David. Indeed, if you think about it using logic, who else would do this to her son? Since they are now bankrupt and impoverished, surely people who used to be Alessio's business rivals or people who hate Alessio are now very satisfied when they see their situation. 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. Carina was absolutely sure that Alessio wanted revenge on David but lost in the end so it ended like this.In two days, she just locked herself in the room and tried to calm herself first before then taking action to avenge her own s
Alessio obviously didn't want to lose because he was the one who started this fight. If he just gave up, he would end up embarrassing himself in the end. He didn't want to be humiliated again. His price is already cheap enough now. He didn't want to be the butt of David again.After a few minutes, they fought in the warehouse, and both of them were covered in blood. Either just use their bare hands or also use some of the tools in the warehouse. David has absolutely no guns. It was a little inconvenient for David. As for Alessio, he has a knife and several sharp objects. Fortunately, David was able to grab the weapon during a fight.The person who excels here in terms of fighting--whether with bare hands or also using weapons-- is David."I know that it's not easy to accept defeat. I know you won't want to lose again here because it will embarrass you for the umpteenth time. But if you still want to live and still think that your life is something precious and must be guarded this tim
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. This is certainly big news that will be the center of attention in the next few days. A great and also dark scandal that the media had never sniffed before from the conglomerate.In fact, not only the mansion where Alessio currently lives but David's residence is also filled with several media who are ready to cover and also ask for his statement about l
Before the day of determination that will determine who the winner is. David decided to call Alessio. This time he really wondered what Alessio was feeling knowing that he would lose. 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. Sounds very heavy and also intimidating to him.'Shit! How could I lose?! E
David was very satisfied to see his sales traffic this month. Artificial intelligence technology will never be rejected by today's humans. What's more, he is indeed good at seeing opportunities from today's market tastes. He also most often markets his products to generation Z, which is already dependent on technology and artificial intelligence. Technology has become a necessity that will never be rejected by today's young generation. Not only the younger generation actually, but all generations. As long as they have the money to buy the multifunctional robot. Not only helping one job, but bu also helping several other jobs.David was so happy because of this. He even saw several YouTube channels that are now discussing their products. Many of these content creators review every product from their company and even review their shortcomings which can be an important note for David.Obviously, he was no longer the type of person who would get angry when it was mentioned the shortcoming
David began to show the prowess of the robot. All the commands he gave to the robot were carried out properly. His abilities were absolutely perfect like the last time he and his team conducted trials.All the guests who saw the scene were amazed. They even clap. Very loud applause. David and all of his employees feel very happy because they get such a big appreciation.On the day of the launch, everything went well. David can present his product perfectly. It was very surprising because all the guests who came at that time immediately bought the robot he made without blaming it that David set a fantastic price for each unit of the robot. Some even ordered more than one! That's so awesome!“I have to admit that I am impressed by what you are presenting. I am someone who closely follows the news of your business fight with Mr. Alessio Baldovino. As someone whose name is just being known in the business world, you exceeded my expectations," said one of the guests at the product launch e
