2022-06-29 00:16:03“Boss, where are you going?” Bruno immediately confronted David, who was walking fast.
“Go home,” David replied in a lazy tone.
"Then please get in the car, boss. There." David pointed to a luxurious black car that had been neatly parked. David raised an eyebrow.
"No need. I can walk.”
"In that case. Let me accompany you on foot.” Those words actually annoyed David.
"Can you guys go?" asked David.
Bruno lowered his head. Not daring to look at David with the piercing gaze that he hadn't seen in a long time. It still looks just as scary as before. He missed that authoritative figure.
"Haaahh..." It was the umpteenth time David sighed.
"Can't you see how I'm doing now, Bruno? There's nothing more you can expect from me. I've turned into a coward. There is no more power left. No more money. No more fit and muscular body. My greatness has completely disappeared. Replaced by misfortune that keeps on coming. I'm so bad. So why else do you come to me? Go. If things get any worse, I suggest that you find a new leader. Seeking hope from me is futile.” David said it with a desperate face.
"No, boss! It can't be! So far, only you are the strongest. Only you can. No one can replace your role. You're the best we've ever had!” Bruno gave encouragement to his boss again.
“I will only be loyal to you. No matter what happens, Boss. You yourself know I am deeply indebted to you. During this difficult time, I continue to suggest your name to return to lead us.”
"No, Bruno. I can't." David still tried to refuse. Not letting that happen, Bruno continued to encourage his boss.
“About power, you will get it back just by you saying yes to our request for your return. We will help you to get that back. Wealth, all the wealth we have is yours. Everything from the start is always yours. And a fit and muscular body. You just need to work out as hard as you used to, boss!”
David looked at Bruno. “You know why I quit. You think I want to repeat the same mistake?” It hurts so much to remember what happened a long time ago. Compared to the insults he was receiving now, the pain he had previously felt was more severe.
Bruno lowered his head. “But only you, boss, are our only hope. We promise to contribute well. We can start all over again from scratch. Expel those traitors and reclaim all the power that belongs to you, boss.”
David is still not confident. "I'm not sure, Bruno. What if we started over again things would just get worse? Many innocent people will die. I don't want that to happen."
“We have to believe and try it. If not, how could we possibly know the final result? You always say that, Boss. It has always been your life motto.” It's true what Bruno said. There are still doubts within David.
“Boss, we really begged you. We really beg you. Please, come back."
There's silence for such a long time until David speaks again. "Okay. I will be back." A faint smile formed on Bruno's face. He bent his body back to 90 degrees.
"Then come on, boss. We take the car that has been prepared. We'll take you to your place of residence." David nodded his head.
"Please, boss." Bruno opened the door car for his boss. Before David got into the luxury car, a woman's voice stopped him again.
“DAVID!” David and Bruno turned their heads towards the source of the sound. That's his wife, Lily.
Bruno looked at his boss. He wondered what his boss would do to his wife, who had an affair. Look at Lily, who came out with Jack. When Lily wanted to step closer to her husband, Jack held her back. He still looks in pain and scared. There was a look of shame because of what the man in the black suit had done to him. He seemed to have lost his face. He really did not expect that David, whom he considered a poor coward, was a boss. A billionaire like what his man said earlier.
David noticed the interaction between Bruno and his wife. Unlike before, when his wife preferred Bruno, now Lily put Bruno's arm on her shoulder. Lily seemed to say something to Jack. And Jack seemed to object to Lily's words. Then Lily walked towards him.
"David," she called again. Bruno blocked Lily's view of her boss. He looked at Lily with a sharp gaze. But David's arm tells Bruno to just get out of the way. So he stepped aside. Let Lily talk to her boss.
"What is it?" asked David. Of course, because of the pain he received from this woman, David's tone became colder than before. And that made a sad face on Lily's face form. But David didn't care. He wanted to ignore this woman for a moment. So that Lily can introspect herself. He knew Lily's change was due to the arrival of Bruno and his men.
"Are you okay?" Lily asked with a worried face.
David did not answer. He looked at Bruno. "Give me the crackle bag your men brought," David ordered.
"Yes, boss!" Bruno called his men.
“Give all those crackle bags to this lady. Let her carry it." Lily was, of course, surprised by her husband's words.
"David. What do you mean?" Lily asked as she lifted the many crackle bags with a questioning look.
"I bought all of that for you. Happy birthday. Go home with Jack. You came with him. You should go home with him, too.” Lily gaped.
"No! Wait! But I want to go home with you, David. Bring—” Lily wanted to say. But David was already in the car and Bruno immediately closed the door. Bruno looked at Lily.
"Excuse me, madam," he said with a smile. There was a sense of satisfaction within Bruno seeing his boss treat this woman like that. Maybe his boss wants to teach a valuable lesson to this woman named Lily.
"Now we go to your mother-in-law's house, boss?"
"Yes." David glanced back to see Lily again. Actually, he felt sorry. But it was the same as what Bruno had in mind. He wanted to teach Lily at least a lesson. Going out with another man with affectionate gestures is considered an affair. At least, with this brief lesson from him, Lily can understand where she went wrong. Now he didn't want to think about women’s matters. There is something more important. The problem that Bruno and all his former subordinates were facing. What's really going on? Is the situation really getting worse?

Happily Ever After - The End!
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
Thrilled Surprise!
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
New Heir
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
Hell For Her!
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
The Dead Of The Son!
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
Alessio's Revenge
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
