Chapter 7

“I have a favor to ask you.” Lorenzo asked his sister and his father.

“What is that?” Leonardo asked curiously, he was keen on knowing what his son wanted. He wanted to grant him his wishes because of how hard he suffered.

Lorenzo looked at his father and his sister before starting to talk. 

“I want to hide the fact I am back as the heir from the meanntime?” He requested and his sister was shocked as well as his father.

“But why, Brother?” Leonora asked, wondering why her brother made such a request.

“Are you sure that is what you want? I mean you could request anything else.”

“Yes Father, I think it is better to keep it from the world for now, I want to take revenge on everyone who bullied me while I was still a poor man. It would be easier to keep it away from my wife.” he knew his last sentence would make them agree.

“Well, he has a point father, I think it is a good idea but how will you keep your driver and your personal maid, I mean Dave and Daphne have to accompany you to the company even if you want to ghost your identity.”

“Your sister is right, you can’t be coming here every morning before you go to work, things will get suspicious and you might be bursted by the press.” Leonardo supported his daughter’s point.

“I will have Daphne and David live with me and my wife with the excuse that they are my coworkers that have nowhere to go. The backstory would be that they can’t afford a standard house rent but they will pay for living with us.” Lorenzo shed more light on what he wanted.

“Your idea is not bad and I hope things can work out. I will inform Daphne and David on how things will go so they can handle things properly.”

“Thank you so much, Nora.”

“It is my duty to help you brother.” He smiled at him. “I should leave you and father to talk for a bit while I go address Daphne and David.” She hugged her brother before giving him some space with their father.

Lorenzo headed home with Daphne and David. David had dropped off Lorenzo at the bus stop so they can park the expensive car they brought with them in a private parking lot owned by the Rossis.

The Rossis had properties all over the city and David was assigned to show him where the properties were.

Lorenzo unlocked the door to his house and he saw an unfamiliar pair of male shoes at the entrance.

They belonged to a man, he quickly rushed into the sitting room and he saw the factory manager sitting down beside his wife, Hazel.

Shock grew from his insides to his face. Why was his boss at his house with his wife?

He recomposed himself as his wife got up from her seat and launched at him.

“Hazel…” he started and she cut him off abruptly.

“Don’t call my name, Lorenzo, I have warned you serval times about getting into fights. Why did you go and fight with your boss at work?” She yelled at him.

“But..” he started and she cut him off again.

“Don’t talk till I’m done talking. If you get fired from this job, do you have any other means of livelihood for us? Do you want me to die of hunger?”

Lorenzo was surprised that Hazel was overreacting. She was even embarrassing him in front of his boss.

“You can't even afford to buy me good clothes now you want to lose the only means you have to provide food for us. I think you want us to starve to death.” Hazel lamented.

Lorenzo was annoyed because his wife was letting out details about their life, the factory manager cleared his throat.

“You have to apologize to him for the harm you have caused him. He is angry that you as his subordinate and you still fought with him.” Hazel demanded.

“Why are you being like this, Hazel? You have not even heard my side of the story and you have concluded that I am the one that needs to apologize?” Lorenzo said calmly while he was trying to suppress his anger. 

“Who is supposed to apologize? Are you really asking me a question that has an obvious answer? You get into fights every time and he is your boss, you have to apologize to him if you don’t want to lose your job.”

“Hazel, I am not even at fought, this man and his friends beat me up in  his office and I didn't do anything wrong.”

“You have to apologize to him,” Hazel stated adamantly and she pointed at him. “Take a close look at him, he is wearing a cast on his arm. He is not even asking you to pay for his hospital bills so you don’t need to lie about beating him up.”

“I am not lying, Hazel. Can you see that he's just trying to manipulate and come in between us? I really don’t want to drag things out with you.”

“I do not also want to argue with you, just apologize to him and keep your job. Stop being stubborn.” Hazel said to Lorenzo without even considering his feelings.

“He also beat me up, he is the reason why I have bruises all over my body. I am sorry but I cannot apologize to him.” Lorenzo shook his head and pointed at him.

Hazel smacked his hand to stop him from pointing at the manager.  “I hate it you are being like this, you are being distasteful here. Just agree to apologize and this will be fine.”

“You want me to apologize that he and his friends almost killed me? What exactly do you want me to say to him?”

“Say you are sorry!”

“Say sorry, Just apologize, those are the only words I have heard you say. What about me? You don’t care about me, my injuries, my pain, and how he humiliated me.” He complained bitterly but Hazel was adamant.

“Those things are minor, a poor man like you should learn to accept things like this. The rich and powerful will forever trample on you. If you are not satisfied, you should get rich too like them or something.” She spat harshly at him.

Lorenzo looked into her eyes because of the last statement she made and wondered when she became like this.

He knew she had changed and it was all because he didn’t have any money.

“Why are you not saying anything?” Hazel demanded from him but she got no response from him. She tapped him and he came out of his thoughts.”You are not saying anything.”

“Fine, you want me to apologize to him right?” He asked her cooly. 

“Yes, apologize and keep your job,” She replied to him and avoided his eyes.

“I will apologize to him at the factory since that was where I insulted him, not my house,” Lorenzo said as he faced the manager and smirked at him.

    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
