Camila quickly realized that her father was not happy with what he saw. She froze and slowly stroll her gaze to the ground, wondering if she tells her father about Oliver status as the son of a multi-billionaire, his expressions might change.
But Immediately, Vincenta came in but she would not be the first to enraged her husband as she select her words carefully, knowing fully well her husband's reactions to infidelity, instead she calmly tried to twist the subject."Honey, we have some visitors around, we don't want to mess things up by mentioning that low-life to cause a fued in the house" she cautiously said as she went over her husband and began rubbing his shoulders with her warm hands, but Mr. Edgardo jolted as he levelled his shoulders against her grips."Is Grandpa angry?" one of the grand-daughters uttered with a sad face..
"Dad you can't be serious, why do you have to mention his name, we're not going to talk about a less privileged here!" Pablo ranted in annoyance.
"Shut up, Pablo!" Mr. Edgardo yells angrily at Pablo to caution.. Everybody was shocked at his reaction, anger and sentiment could be seen in his eyes..
"But Dad.."
"Stop it Bianca.." he warns his elder daughter.
"Everyone living with me in this house are important. I do not live with lowlifes and less privileges, and do not forget that you are talking about your very own brother-in-law and your son-in-law!" He exclaimed angrily with his eyes going two ways between his son, Pablo and his wife.
Pablo instead, became rankled, showing no remorse of what he said, "Yeah, not if he knows we already maimed the asshole," he jeered in his mind.
Camila could see that her mom was trying to handle the situation.
But, in her heart, she was not happy that for the first time, her father did not smile at her presence, "Why must he ask me about Carl, was he not the one who got me married to him in the first place," she sneered in her mind with her livid eyes hidden beneath her face.
"Come on darling, you see our grandchildren are getting worried about you, a better atmosphere for everyone is enough to avoid a feud, Vincenta chipped in, docilely.
Mr. Edgardo nods his head gently, he reflected to the quiet atmosphere of dull faces flashing before him, his eyes rotate around to view the people in the house and watching their faces, they look very unhappy,
their delight were darkened and he understood..
Though some of the visitors were wondering about what Mr. Edgardo has just said because with the way Camila was being very romantic and sexual with her rich boss in the party last night they believed she was not married yet.
Although, Mr. Edgardo was not very close to his son-in-law who lives with him, he only remembers his name anytime he sees Camila.
He gathered his breath and heaved to calm his nerves.
Finally, he blossomed in his expression as he understood his son-in-law's situation in the mansion, he heaved a deep sigh while resting on his soft chair, but he did not returned Camila with the smile she wanted as his eyes immediately drafted to face the good-looking fellow behind his daughter, discharging a austere aura at first towards him..
Oliver then started walking quietly like a gentleman he is as he closely approaches Mr. Edgardo who was still sitting relaxed on his favorite armchair.
He felt a bit nervous when his eyes clashed with Mr. Edgardo's scary stare.
"Good morning, Mr. Chavez" he gave a slight bowed as he stretched his hands forward to exchange a warm handshake with Camila's father.
Calmly, Mr. Edgardo spoke; "I suppose you're the young man named Mr. Oliver whose bodyguards uniformly tolled besides the black flashy Bentley bentaygas I saw outside my mansion, right?" He poised as he said..
"Yes, I am, Mr. Chavez" Oliver answered, promptly.
Mr. Edgardo slowly lifted his right hand from his warm sofa's arm and directed towards Oliver for a handshake, but still kept his face a mugging look that was slight and briefed.
He sigh consciously then rested his hand back on his armchair, seeming a little bit pleased with the young fellow.
"You're welcome to my home, Mr. Oliver," he said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chavez," Oliver smiles as he responded.
"And may I know whom you are to my beloved daughter?" Calmly, Mr. Edgardo inquired.
Everyone was surprised at his question and shocked that he did not recognize his daughter's employment in one of the biggest company in the city and the status of her boss. Guess his memory did not ponder to remember the big name, Oliver, who have been shown severally on Tv, or maybe he is getting too old to remember.
"I'm Oliver Acevedes and I am Camila's boss in one of my father's big companies, Acevedes city incorporated and we specialize on fashion accessories and mostly ones made of golds, crystals, silver and diamonds," Oliver gently composed himself before Mr. Edgardo as he concealed the nature of one of his family's business with a very fluent approach.
Mr. Edgardo was a bit flabbergasted,
"O-li-ver!!" he stressed..
"Soo this is the C.E.O himself in my home" Mr. Edgardo remarked with a bright look on his face and gave a dim smile at Oliver.
"Yes, Mr. Chavez" Oliver brightened his face as he replied.
Mr. Edgardo's urge to dislike him came void when he remembers who the Acevedes are in the big city. The Acevedes are one of the biggest names in the great city and from the senior to the least were termed billionaires.
"You are welcomed to my humble abode," again, he said as he rested his hands back on the arm of his sofa.
Vincenta released a sparkling smile on her face. She could view her husband's ecstacy as he began to admire the handsome young man,
"I love the way things are going now, I would love it more if it continues to extend more than this and maybe he would find the reason to throw that imbecile out of our beautiful home and our glimmering lives will continue to embrace grace and wealth," she jaundiced on her son-in-law in her mind with her hateful heart.
Mr. Edgardo quickly remember something, he also got some presents for Camila and her husband, Carl. He ordered his guards to bring out the boxes as if he has planned the gifts specially for them and the bodyguards brought out two different boxes which one has a smaller size to the other.
He then glanced at Camila's tenseness and produce a little smile as he handed the presents which has her name and Carl's name on it.. "I want Carl to receive his gift and the pink one is yours" he said.
Camila face glimmered, but she wondered why her present looks smaller than her husbands.'
Vincenta scoffed at the presents as she stared at the bigger box gifted to Carl.
"Why would he have to waste money to buy a present for a nobody?!" She muttered silently and angrily as she relieved an flinty look on her face.
Pablo and Marco were very angry at their father, they have not even seen the presents he bought for them, if really he got them some presents after executing the criminal activity of extorting from his company finances, they were still in the clouds of exposure as they were not aware of their father's knowledge about what they have done..
"How the hell did that scumbag got present from dad and we don't?" Pablo did not let his thoughts go out from his mind as he continues to murmur within..
Mr. Edgardo then continues his conversation with the Billionaire's son;
"Your father must be the billionaire, Senior Acevedes?" Mr. Edgardo asked, he saw a little tenseness in Oliver's unstable eyeballs..
"Oh yes, I am, Mr. Chavez, you can hear it ringing from my last name" Oliver said confidently before releasing a deep heave as he boosted his guts a bit and calmed his chest with his cold palms, having little feeling he's now getting along with Camila's father.
"But you don't look very much like your father on the face, I guess you must have resembled your mother more," Mr. Edgardo said, he condensed a grinning expression as he took the last sip of his red wine.. sounding like he knows Oliver's parent soo well.
Oliver only responded with a smile, but he could see through the petty obscenity streaming from Mr. Edgardo's lips, but he did not take it deep as he waited for Mrs. Chavez to finally reveal his big proposal to the Chavez family that was the main reason for the party that occurred last night.
* It was very easy to hold a father's name in high esteem when he is a very wealthy personality especially when he is one of the richest billionaire in the City_
_Oliver was very confident as he looked high of himself, he showed his imprudence by putting his arms over Camila's neck, slowly drawing her closer to his body.
Mr. Edgardo's expression turned gall again and wanted to speak but his wife interfered almost immediately with a business deal and partnership offered from the mighty Acevedes's multi-billion dollar company which was like another but easy way for Mr. Edgardo's aspiring billionaire dream to come true.
Holding a file and a flashdrive from the Acevedes group that contains some documents for the deal that could easily boost the Chavez company's growth and finances.
"My husband, this handsome young man here, Mr. Oliver has already discussed with his father and his group in partnering with the Chavez's enterprise which could serve us a great deal for years to come," Vincenta blinked her eyes and smiled as she held the file firmly between her grips standing before her husband who was a bit startled.
She knew her husband has no other choice when it comes to partnering with one of the biggest and richest company groups in the big cities.
Mr. Edgardo placidly relax his head again on the soft top-head of his armchair, feeling the touch of a bigger business opportunity, but his sight could not stand Oliver's gut;
"That is really a prodigious partnership offer, I'm overwhelmed, but could only keen to the proposal only if Mr. Oliver here looses my already married daughter from his arms and respect my presence," Mr. Chavez did not hide how angry he was.
At the same time he was still very surprised that he has not seen his son-in-law's face in the living room as he was the second person after his youngest son who was always most genuinely delighted to see him and welcome him home, and most especially, he was supposed to deliver a very special lavaliere he had purchased from a counter since yesterday.
He began to feel something crummy has happened to Carl, but how would he ask of his son-in-law from the people who despises him.
Oliver slowly released his hands from Camila's body to respect Mr. Edgardo as he suddenly realized how angry he was.
But, in his sly intension, he wanted to ring a bell;
To let Camila's father be aware that he is in love with his beautiful married daughter and believed with his great personality as the son of a multi-billionaire and their partnership, he could gain his lust for Camila and snatch her away from her penniless husband...
"Should I give these beautiful present to Carl? What has he done for me than to buy me some petty stuffs with the cheap penny he gets from father; "Nah, Damn him. This comp ain't going anywhere pass em.' I'll rather give it to my sweetheart boss, Oliver. He's definitely going to appreciate me with something very special and classy that would suit my level.." "He'll get me the red Mustang-gt-premium-convertible car I urged him to buy for me next week, something Carl would never be able to get even if he work his ass all over the world for decades. " Camila glared at the mirror in her bedroom while having an odious inexorable thought about her husband, she then brace up when her thoughts return to thinking about Oliver, she smiled with a romantic look on her face and licking her lips in a quite sexual way. She was busy fixing her face makeups as she plans on going out for a party with her classy friends.. It's obvious that she did not care if her husband was hurt or not, she felt e
"He is just soo lucky that Mr. Edgardo has not yet come against him. Maybe when the son of billionaire Senior Acevedes proposes to Mrs. Camila, he would see the need to kick him out of this house," Sara struck Carl a repugnant look while standing with her hands gripped on her curvy hips. Carl shrinked his eyebrows at her. Julia made sure the store room is clean again. She was astonished to discover where the Chavez son-in-law slept through out the night after he passed out. The bed was filled with dirt and tiny sticks. She is just a housemaid in the house. If she helps Carl, she is prone to losing her one in a million job working in the house of a Multi-millionaire. However, she remained respectful. "Mr. Carl, I'm sorry the room was untidy. I've never been in this place until now, " she said to him. Carl was happy to see Julia again. She was the third person who has been very kind to him. Sara yelled, "What did you just do Julia? Who are you using the word 'Mr.' for? "These ir
"Good morning uncle Carl. How was your night?" Greeting kindly, Sergio smiled. Though he meant to greet him but also wanted to anger his elder sister. Vivian looked at Sergio cholerically but she waited for their mom to come and take action. "Look who we have here. The one who tried to disrupt our wonderful party last night.." Valeria, the eldest daughter of the family came at once to the living room wearing am exclusive red stylish max mara gown. Carl folded his tongue in his mouth. He was boiling inside but he could only endure. "Gosh! His face is swollen.. " said Valeria. In disgust, she turns her face away from him. Vincenta arrived with Sara who held her silver tray of glass cup firmly, following her anywhere she goes. Carl feet glue on the floor when he saw her. When he remembered what happened last night, he became furious. His heart formed a stone against her as he closed his fist tightly. He tries to suppress his grief. "Should I continue walking to the stairs or s
The furnace inside the house reduced the icy atmosphere in the entire living room. Because of the chilly wind that blows around due to yesterday's rain, everyone selected a special dress that covers their overall body. Kassy and kiki wagged their tails as they hurried to the living room, they had just woken up from their sleep. But what type of dog wakes up soo late like the two lazy pet dogs of the family? Kassy is a golden doodle while Kiki, a whoodle. Both little classy hybrid cuties were the best friends of the family. Their cute barks alarmed the rest of the little grandchildren of the Chavez family. Their voices were heard in the living room suddenly, playing around. In his bedroom, Carl entered and found his bed soo rough. A little flashback; he was called on by Mr. Edgardo for an urgent delivery early in the morning yesterday before he could even think of arranging his bed and other things he found on the floor. He'd only brushed his teeth, he didn't even have breakfast
His heart beat heavily and his body vibrated after hearing the most terrific news. He felt his body boiling inside inspite the daring chill in the atmosphere. What Elder Sebastien revealed made him extremely perplexed. "Oh no.. Did..Did he just said that Lavaliere belongs to...? Carl put his hands over his face. "Oh dear Lord! " He exclaimed. "I'm soo dead " he said, crushing his face with his fist. "Not long she promised to make me regret ever coming to this house. What am I going to do now?" Will I be chased out of this house today? I just lost a package worth $10 thousand, where will I find it?" He scatters his hair with his hands as he walked to and fro aimlessly in the chamber. He was soo frustrated. Madam Vincenta never liked him so it's an opportunity for her to rain her rage on him if Mr. Edgardo reveals him to be the one he had sent to bring home her surprise. He felt like the ground should open and swallow him completely. There is no one who is as terrified as he c
Watching another man romantically kissing his wife body while he gets a beaten in return. Carl felt he should let Mr. Edgardo to know what happened. It was the worst thing that could ever happened to anyone. Vincenta looked at Carl and gave a slyish smile. She instead yelled: "So Carl, what else happened other than the wonderful party that happened last night?" She had a sinister look on her face. Carl became confused. She put him in an awkward situation with her sly backlash after her husband became anxious to inquire about last night. She seemed not to care if her husband hears what occurred last night. She repeatedly yelled at him. "Are you dumb already?" She voiced dangerously. Carl eyes opened. He perceived he is about to create another problem for himself. Her words were indirectly posing a strong note of warning to him. Other than being angry at her, there is nothing else Mr. Edgardo could do to her. Mr. Edgardo waited for his response. Carl, before he would say a
It was in a hot afternoon. Mr. Edgardo and his grankids have already for their vacation. I have to get to the Highlands general hospital to see dad. He thought. Izan Cortes, his father was gunned down by some assassins who wanted to kill him. Aiming for his head, they shot him on his chest and he is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. "Who are those heartless bastards who shot my dad? He is soo innocent. Why would anyone want to kill him? " He cried with his fist crushing his hair. Promptly, he prepares to travel back to the Highlands to visit his dad in the hospital. But one important thing was missing. He didn't have enough money to take him to Highland city, not even a few cent he could manage to board a bus. The journey to the Highlands is never a small journey. Currently he only has in his possession a few cents while it would take him almost $100 to get to Highland City. He was soo broke that he didn't even have enough to answer an urgent call back home.
Carl felt a tremor, his friend has called again. He began to have this feeling that his dad situation may have gotten worse. He termed the day as a cursed day for him as three different difficult and quandarilous situation has been occurring one after the other. After he just finish getting a lot of discredit from his hateful wife, the minutes of the day did not wait to drag another misery for him to bear. He has thoroughly been jumping from one problem to another and there was no more tears left in his eyes for him to pour down. The food he ate that was sneakily given to him by Julia could not hold his stomach for long. He started feeling very hungry again as another round of weakness eloped his body. He has started to feel sick already. He could managed to use the little money he has to buy a few burger to digest in his system since he cannot go directly to the kitchen to get some food. Also as he hopefully thought he would, Sergio did not attempt to call him back after try
