Chapter 16The doorbell rang, Hazel got up from her seat to check who was at the door. “Mom!” She exclaimed as she opened the door. “Why are you here?”“Do I need a reason to visit my daughter?” Rachel shoved her off the road and made the way into the kitchen with the bags of groceries she got.“I have come to feed you with the best food, look at how lean you are!” Rachel commented as her daughter walked into the kitchen. “Where is that man you married?”“Mom, his name is Lorenzo,” Hazel palmed her face.Lorenzo walked into the kitchen as soon as he heard his mother-in-law’s voice. “Good thing you are here.” Rcahel rinsed her hands. “Take out the beef from the paper bag and wash them properly. Make a nice meal for my daughter.”She pulled Hazel out of the kitchen with her, “A princess does not belong to the kitchen.” she let go of her hand and sat on the sofa.“Micheal is coming to pick you up.” Rachel brought out a box from her bag.“What for?” Hazel questioned her mother.“A date
Chapter 15David was wearing dark shades and black suit so that Hazel would not recognise him. He opened the door to the limo for Lorenzo and Hazel to get in.Lorenzo had texted David to come pick him and Hazel up before the dinner ended, he didn’t want Micheal to offer his wife a ride home.David shut the door after Lorenzo and he went to the driver’s seat as he drove them to their house.Hazel didn't seem to notice him as she got into the limo because she was annoyed, she just wanted to leave the party as soon as possible as she was uncomfortable already.“Is the limo ride on of the things you won from your lottery?'' Hazel questioned her husband without looking at him.“Yes,” Lorenzo lied. He was happy that she had asked if it was part of the lottery because he didn’t know how he was going to explain the limo that came to pick them up.“Wow, you must have won a lot of things,” She complimented him sarcastically. “What else did you win?” She faced him as she got curious.“That was a
Chapter 14“Where did you get this from?” Harold broke the silence that came after the shock of seeing the gist. “The Rossi’s oldest wedding band from italy. This is expensive.” He said as he counted the figures of how much the bands cost with his fingers.Hazel moved in her seat, her heart skipped a beat when her grandmother opened the box.“It is fake, right? Duplicate stuff is everywhere these days.” Micheal asked Lorenzo. Hazel rolled her eyes at his foolishness.“Fake?” Harold took out the wedding bands and shoved it in Micheal’s face. “You call this fake? Are you slow?” He asked angrily. “Do not vex me tonight, Mike.”Micheal shifted in his seat, surprised with Harold’s outburst. “Take it easy, man. It was just a question. How is he supposed to get an original? If it is an original, Who knows where he got it from?”Lorenzo threw an angry stare at Micheal.“That is exactly my sentiment.” Harold said, Nana took the band from him and placed it carefully in the box. “The wedding ban
Chapter 13Lorenzo sat at a corner of the party till it ended. He got a text from Daphne that the gift had arrived. He went outside, he took the little box from the dispatch rider and a little note beside it.“The box contains one of the oldest diamond wedding bands the Rossi’s jewels had produced. It is rare and many socialites would kill to have it. I hope it suits your taste, sir.”Lorenzo smiled to himself as she read the note. He was pleased with Daphne’s choice of gift. “Lorenzo,” he heard his wife call his name. He quickly squeezed the paper in his pocket. “Yes,” He faced her direction and watched her move close to him. She looked so beautiful as she held a part of her gown up so she could walk well.He frowned his face when he remembered that it was Micheal that got her the dress.He wished that he was always rich so he could spoil her in the ways she wanted, nowadays, she wouldn't look him in the eyes unless she was angry with him. He just wanted to hold her hand as she wal
Chapter 12“Mr Lorenzo, your sister sent you a tuxedo, hand tailored from your hometown in Italy.” Daphne informed Lorenzo on their drive to the apartment he shared with his wife.“I need you to pick a wedding gift out for the old couple, something exquisite.” Lorenzo requested from Daphne, “Do you have anything in mind?”“Yes, sir.” She smiled at the thought of the perfect gift that came to her head.“We are here sir,”David announced when they got to the bus stop. Daphne handed the nag that had the tuxedo in it to Lorenzo.“Young master!” David stopped Lorenzo as he was about to open the door of the car.“You should not call me that when we are outside Rossi's mansion.” he cautioned him.“I am sorry sir, how are we going to take you to the party?” He quickly corrected himself before asking“I will text you if there is a need for you to disguise as a chauffeur service.”“The gift would be brought to you at the party sir,” Daphne bowed down and Lorenxo got out of the car.He strode dow
Chapter 11“Mr.Rossi, I am scared that you are not staying at the hospital like the doctor requested. Miss Rossi will be mad at David and I if anything goes wrong.” Daphne said to her boss worriedly.“I will be fine, daphne. I will rest at home.” He said with his eyes closed and he rested on the car seat.”“Let me know at once if you feel pain in your body,” Daphne told him.Lorenzo fell asleep in the car due to his tiredness. He didn’t even know when they got to the front of his office..Daphne tapped him gently. “We are in front of the house, sir.” She announced.“What!” He exclaimed from his sleep. “In front of my house, why did you guys come here? You should've woken me up at the bus stop.” he complained.“Any little mistake can cause problems, huge problems. What if my wife comes out? How do you want me to explain the situation to her?” He scolded them.“We are sorry sir, we only thought about how…” Daphne trailed.“Shit, that is my mother-in-law’s car. You should get going and c
Chapter 10David and David helped Lorenzo walk into Leonora’s office. After they helped him sit on the couch. The two of them excused the siblings to talk while they stood guard in front of the door to ensure no one was eavesdropping.Leonora was at the other end of the room receiving some business call while Lorenzo just scanned through the office. He never knew that a place like this existed in the factory.He wouldn’t know when he was not in the cleaning unit. The was three times bigger than the manager's office, he observed the structures inside the mood and commended whoever modeled the office in his head.Leonora places an ice pack on Lorenzo’s head bringing him out his thoughts. “Do you love this place?” she asked because she had noticed he was looking around the office.He didn’t even see her when she dropped the call she was on. She knew he lost admiring the whole place.“Yes, it is a beautiful place,” He breathed.“I am glad you think so, I designed it myself.” She smiled at
Chapter 9“Stop touching me.” Lorenzo barked at them. “Why do you keep pushing me? The manager is not even saying anything. Mind your own business.” He shrugged the hands of the manager’s friends off his body.The manger moved close to him and grabbed him by his hair. “Whatever they do is my instruction, if you raise your voice at them..”Lorenzo spat on the manager's face and the manager let go of him. “This son of a bitch just spat on me.”The manager cried out. “He spat on the face I got an expensive procedure on.”One of the manager's friends quickly offered him a handkerchief to use. And the other friend went to Lorenzo. He raised his chin up.“I always knew you were a lunatic.” He said to Lorenzo before he started raining blows on his face. Blood oozed out Lorenzo’s lips that got bursted from the blows.“Paupers like you can never make it in life with your attitude.” The friend mocked him. “How can you throw your saliva at the face he just got a procedure on.
