Chapter 3

He didn’t want his family members to know that he was badly injured at the moment. He went to take a cold shower because the water heater isn't working.

He almost froze as he finished taking his bath. He had given Hazel the money to pay for the way, did she not pay? “Maybe she forgot,” He thought to himself.

He quickly got out of the bathroom and dried himself with the dirty brown towel that was hanging by the door. 

Hazel didn’t let him use the washing machine to wash it, she said washing his towel in the machine would make it wear out.

He always respected her wishes and orders because he loved her and treasured her as his wife.

He wore an old long sleeve shirt, it was his favorite, though the shirt was faded and old, he treasured it because that was Hazel’s to him. He knew she was in love with him when she had given him the shirt.

Hazel switched up on him because of his financial status and the huge disrespect he got from her family made him depressed. He was feeling dejected for not being able to take care of her.

He sat in the sitting room thinking if he should go or not. Since his father had ordered him to return, he decided to just go home.

“Father must have his reason for asking me to come,” Lorenzo said to himself. “Maybe I might be in good luck today and receive something tangible.” He assured himself.

He locked the window of his house in case it rained again, so he took a cab to go to his family's house hoping he wouldn't get disappointed. He also hoped that coming was not going to be a waste of money.

He went to his room to see if the windows were closed, and he saw his dirty clothes lying on the floor. He decided to give it a quick wash before leaving the house so that he can have clothes to wear to work the next day.

After he finished his laundry, he went outside and boarded a cab.

He gave the cab driver the address his father had sent. He kept brooding about the address because it was unfamiliar. 

A part of him started thinking that it was a voice phishing company that sells human body parts and deceived him to come to their location.

He could not go back anymore as the driver had already arrived at their destination. He paid the cab driver then he got down from the car.

His eyes surveyed the whole estate, he was even standing in front of the most gorgeous building in the estate.

He marveled at the luxurious estate that stood before him, and he kept wondering if he was in the right place. He was in awe that he was standing before a magnanimous Palace.

 He took his old, outdated phone out of his to call his father and inform him about his presence when a man in a fine tuxedo came outside.

“Who are you?” He barked at Lorenzo, making him drop his phone in shock. Lorenzo rubbed his palm against his old pants as they became sweaty all of a sudden.

“I am sorry, I came to see my father. I didn't mean to bother you, I think he gave me the wrong address.” Lorenxo shivered in fear because the man seemed like a very wealthy man and he didn’t want to cross him.

Lorenzo worried that the man may have him arrested for trespassing if he was at the wrong address because this wasn't where he formerly lived with his parents and siblings.

“Are you sure someone like you is a son to the owner of this place? Look how rough and blunt you are looking. This place is not for classless-looking people like you,” he said scornfully, rolling his eyes at Lorenzo.

“I am not sure if my father resides here, I will try reaching out to him.” Lorenzo dabbed the sweat off his face with a worn-out handkerchief in his pocket.

“You better confirm the address you are heading to before I deal with you mercilessly.” The man in suit threatened and he put his hand in his pocket, looking all serious.

Lorenzo picked his phone up and he saw that his phone had fallen apart. He glared at the man who caused his phone to break but he didn't let him see him. 

He was avoiding any physical battle with the man, so he restrained himself. His body was still very sore from the beating he got from his boss at the factory and his friends.

“My phone is spoiled.’ Lorenzo cried out. There was no way he could prove to the man in suit that this was really the address his father gave him plus he couldn't verify with his father if he actually sent him the right address.

“I am familiar with your scheme, you are an intruder trying to play your way into the place.” The man in suit pointed accusing fingers at him.

“I am not an intruder,  I am not even attempting to enter, I just told you that I wanted to confirm if I was at the right place with the one who invited me.” Lorenzo defended himself.

“I guess you might have to tell that to the security team if you are not careful. Your reasons for being here aren't legitimate, I'm waiting for you to prove that you are related to this family." He scrawled at Lorenzo.

“You spoiled my phone, I can’t even contact anyone.” Lorezo waved his phone at the man in suit’s face. Lorenzo was really bothered about the man's threat.

"f you didn’t scare me earlier, my phone would not have dropped from my hand and it would be working perfectly. All I want is to see my father and you are jumping to conclusions."

“Poor people really have their way with words, Look at the way you are framing me up. Your phone is even an old phone that can spoil if anyone snaps a finger at it.” He mocked Lorenzo.

“My financial status had nothing to do with this, please find a way to fix my phone, I don’t even know anyone’s number off hand,” Lorenzo begged sincerely.

“What should I do?” The man in suit still acted like he didn’t give a fuck about Lorenzo’s phone. “Do you even know who I am to this mighty household behind us?”

“At least you will be rich enough to fix my phone.” Lorenzo sighed lazily, clearly interested in who the man in suit really was but us really after his phone. “Who are you?”

“I am an intimate partner of the Rossi family, where no one like you is welcomed,” The man in suit laughed in a mocking way that made Lorenzo feel awkward.

“I am Lorenzo Rossi,” Lorenzo informed the man in suit, and the man in suit burst into laughter, as he didn’t believe someone like Lorenzo was a family member of the Rossis.

    Epilogue Five Years Later. Leonora had forced us to come down to Delaware for Father’s memorial, instead of doing it separately, depending on the country. “I do not appreciate being here when I have a meeting in France,” Lorenzo whined over Lunch. “How do you cope with this rascal?” Nora faced Hazal with a disapproving look. “He is addicted to work as always, talking about being in France while we celebrate our father’s ten years memorial.” Hazel giggled, “You know how he is.” “Sweetie, are you taking sides with her? This is why you should never trust women.” Lorenzo pointed his fork at Nora. “She told me I could work as much as I wanted before I retire.” Then he continued eating. “I did tell him that, he kept saying he was bored at home and all.” “You are in this together. Nice. How is work though? I heard you have opened an IT center in New York and it is making waves.” “It’s all thanks to my husband and your husband too, he helped out with the set up and internal works.”

    Chapter 75As he got into his car, the incident with Daphne was already behind him, he gripped the steering wheel in anger as he tried to calm himself. He didn't know what he would do to Aurora when he found her, but he didn't trust himself not to hurt her. He parked his car in front of his Company and rushed out. He rushed towards the elevator, ignoring the greetings of his staff. Before he got into the elevator, he stopped one of them and told her to call the police. She nodded weakly and ran to do that.The elevator door closed and he punched in the button that took it to the basement floor. He knew that if Aurora was here she would make sure that none of the staff had seen her when she was coming so asking them was pointless. She wasn't stupid and she knew her way around the company. The elevator dinged and he stepped out. He looked around but couldn't find anything, he only saw metal pipes and heard water dripping somewhere. He looked around and saw a small light coming fro
