One day before New Year
(Country H)
Zandro settled everything for his company before flying to Country Z for New Year's Eve. He is very efficient and strict when it comes to his work so naturally, he needed to settle unfinished business first before going back and it will take him a couple of days before he will be finished it, taking a vacation means he will be left with a lot of unsigned documents after.
So everything that's left unsigned yesterday was taken priority by him today if this means he will be at the company over time he will do it. Zandro is a workaholic person since he was single so he spends his time making money at such an early age their parents have trained them to know the value of money, hard work, and consistency.
He was busy signing documents when a disturbing noise caught his attention outside his office, he wants to go out to take a look but he just shrugged his shoulder... Work is more important than any distractions, he said to himself while reading the documents. Just as he was so engrossed with his work when he was disturbed by a woman who was elegantly walking toward his table, wearing a skimpy dress that shows her very sexy, and voluptuous body. With her shoulder-level curly blonde hair. It was Cheska, the only daughter of his business partner Mr. Knight. Well, he can say that she is his admirer but he always tells her to stop. He's not into her.
"What are you doing here?!" Zandro asks her as he can't hide his irritation with her.
"Well, I come here because I want to visit you! What's wrong with that?" Cheska was seated in front of him. Cheska Knight is the only daughter of his business partner Director Arthur Knight.
He can say that Cheska bluntly admits that she wants me but honestly he was a little rude to her it's because he is not interested in her. She is younger by 5 years, she is undoubted beautiful too, came from a decent family and more importantly, she is honest about what she feels about him.
Even though it's like that he can't teach his heart to love her, that's the reason why Zandro always tells her to back off. But Cheska grows up with them, she's Jules's classmate actually but she chose to study here at Country H. Every time she's free she makes sure to have time to visit Zandro in his company, so everyone assumed that they are together.
"Let's have dinner?" she said.
Zandro looks at her, about to turn down her offer.
"Go and disturb Jules not me, I'm busy!" Zandro said.
"Rude, Brute! I don't want Jules... I want to have dinner with you! Not Jules or anyone!" She said, clasping her hand to release her frustrations. She clasps and unclasps her hands until it was white, she was having a hard time now bearing Zandro's coldness.
"How many times do I need to tell you... I'm not going to have a relationship with anyone... Do you understand my words? Or you want me to spell it out for you!" Cheska's face can't hide her sadness anymore, she was about to cry but she controlled her emotions. She doesn't want him to see how pitiful she was.
"I can't teach my heart to like others! Since then Dave you know that you are the only one that I adored. Since our childhood, I already told you directly!" Cheska prepared herself to leave his office.
Zandro became stiff, how can he explain to the lady that he is not interested to have a relationship with anyone, he doesn't want to have an intimate relationship with anyone because he hurt once and he doesn't want to experience it again.
"Forget those feelings and we can be friends..." Cheska stopped as she was about to head for the door, she stopped back to face him, she doesn't have the strength to face him anymore.
"My head and my heart is the only thing I had, for now, Please don't command me on what to feel and who to love!" As she walks away from him.
Zandro was left speechless all of a sudden! Is he that rude now? Darn! He went back to his work as if his concentration was already carried by her. This is the first time Cheska became that serious! he didn't expect to see hurt in her eyes... She never gets sad when he teases her she always takes challenges but after that, he became more relaxed on talking to her. She is a spoiled lady of the Knights Family and she knows that every time he talks to her and the way he treated her is always like that. He doesn't know why she is so sensitive today... Did he go far this time? Maybe he is... But he needs to do that to wake her up from her fantasy!
Zandro just shrugged at what happened and continue his work as planned it took him overtime before he finished everything.
He prepared himself to leave his office when he called at The Bros Club to have dinner there he ordered the usual (medium-rare roast beef, mashed potato, and wine).
The Bros Club is a high-end club, a club that he and his friend Marky newly built. Since their market is for people of high status, you can only dine there when you make reservations and appointments. And availing of their membership card is worth a million bucks.
They have a branch on Country Z already but the one on Country H is the main branch.
After taking calls to The Bros club Zandro went to the parking lot where his color black Bugatti's La Voiture Noire that worth $19 Million. Coming from the stables of a French luxury sports cars brand. Remain the most expensive cars ever produced.
Comfort, class, a super engine, or an unusual design these supercars are a rarity because they come at enormous prices. All are the most elegant species of cars produced and have limited editions and from the stables of luxury car manufacturers.
Do you want to get one of these? but sadly, Bugatti only produced one of its kind. Zandro rides to his car and is followed by his bodyguards afterward. They headed to The Bros.
Marky prepared his suit as he called a while ago, on the eyes of the people Marky is the owner of the bros, they didn't know he has a partner behind him. No one knows it was he. Upon arriving at the place Marky looks for them immediately and assists them from their private rooms.
"Zandro! What's up buddy?" Marky yelled when he comes near him and patted his shoulder.
"You know why I'm here right?" He went there to eat and nothing more. He glances at him coldly.
"C'mon bro! I thought you came here to sign some documents! You've been on hiatus for a long time now, so why not come and help me..." Marky said pitifully.
"It's your responsibility, not mine!" Marky can't refute his statement now. He knows him well Zandro is not in the mood for a joke... Maybe there are some problems with his company.
"What happened? It seems that you're not in your mood today..." Marky said seriously.
"Cheska went to my office a while ago." Marky swallowed as he can't even say a word right now. As he can see it they have arguments today. Cheska is not bad for him after all and they know her already since they were a child but he also knows that he just treated her as a little sister since he doesn't have a girl sibling. So he always bluntly refuse her.
"What did you do to her this time?" Marky said accusing him, he looks at him raising his eyebrow and casting a cold glance.
"What! She was the one coming in my place, offering herself! Of course, I declined her!" Zandro reasoned out defensively. He is not that rude... Or was he?! So what?
"Bro! That was rude...You can just tell her that you have no time or better yet just invite her here!" Zandro glanced him straight in the eye and said.
"Are you interested in her?!" Reading him if he's guilty.
"Hell no! but she's a lady and being rude to her is against our rule as a man..." Marky makes him understand the lesson in what he said.
" Alright, now I got it! Can you leave the hell out of me now?!" Zandro said as he dismissed him.
"I'm not your subordinates, darn it!" he responded, and he's used to it already.
Zandro just looks at him coldly.
"Alright, You won!" he said both arms raised meaning he is accepting defeat, as he exited Zandro's private room to go back to his office.
Marky instructed his employees to prepare Zandro's meal and the employees prepare it immediately.
Country L "How can this be?! I thought that woman is beautiful enough to make him submit to her and he didn't even smile at her all this time?! She has been with Mariano's son for a long time now she can't even make Zandro fall in love with her? What a useless craft! Get the fuck all of you out here, NOW!" Walter yelled as he was about to burst from anger. He lifts the goblet of wine and throws it into the room he was in, the assistant tilted his head and dodged the goblet fell to the ground, and shattered. The debris bounced off the floor and hits his thigh. It didn't hurt, but he still frowned. He took a step back and didn't say anything else, letting Walter smash things to his heart's content. After a while, Walter finally stopped. He lowered his arms and clasped his hands on the desk, his chest constantly rising and falling, showing that he was still suppressing his anger. The assistant waited a moment and saw Walter did not want to speak, so he squatted on the ground and bega
3 days before the New Year,Country H,Why is it that they are all eager to make this New Year Reunion happens? When the whole clan has no future at all? Reunion with them is a disaster. All of them are busy with their own stuff and not only that the family has its own selfish intentions. Zandro is already done eating his dinner at the Bro's as he was talking to Marky about a lot of things. "Get ready for tomorrow were heading home for a weak or two..." Zandro murmured as he was tipsy at the moment. They decided to drink a little since Zandro must be free for the time being. Lucky for the people who can invite him to drink liquor... He is Zandro David Accetturo for pit sake! All people wish to have a little time with him... But he is just a dream for the common people but in Marky's case, he wants to take a break from his present... Being with him is really a suicide attempt! Is he planning something again and he invited me to go with him to Country Z?"Aahhmmm! Im busy... You know N
Patricia can’t understand why all of the University's people seem to be mesmerized by the Accetturo brothers…Not that she is not, but they are just humans too. Is it the status they had that’s why everybody praises them like Kings? They made mistakes too just as normal people do, right?Accetturo has a good reputation in the industry they are with, their’s hard work pays off in minutes… Unlike ordinary people who own small businesses just like his father still struggling, as usual, with no improvements at all. While the monster company just like Accetturo’s is improving day by day.Is that the cycle of life? Well, that is life. But Patty still believes in the saying hard work pays off when it is time, just be patient. After their class Jenny and Patty go home together since their house is 2 kilometers away from Hale University they decided to walk, and on their way home they passed by a small stall who was selling some on the street, it’s her favorite so they stop by to buy some.This
Marky got nothing to do but to accept Zandro’s invitation, after spending some time with his Auntie Mae’s food house he immediately drove to Zandro’s villa. It was an hour’s drive from Hale University to the villa where he lives. The Villa only built on top of the hill, a big villa, the kind in which most bachelors have and dreamed of living secluded among trees on one of Moover City’s most exclusive streets, it had turrets, gables, dormers, balconies, a screened-in front porch, a free-standing garage, a gazebo, pool, formal gardens, an American dream.The perimeter of the ground was patrolled by armed security and every inch of the property was wired with cameras, security lighting, and motion sensors.When he arrives at the villa, he can’t stop himself to admire the entire place. He has his villa, but it looks like a bachelor’s pad while Zandro looks like a home. It is because their family is solid that even his way of living is Accetturo’s signature. He was walking in the yard when
It’s another windy morning in Moover City and Patty is lazily lying down in her bed. She was not in the mood to go to school that is why she never answered Jenny’s message last night however she was bothered by the noise outside her room then suddenly she barge in like a lion ready to bite... “What the hell!” She uttered when suddenly her door was pushed open, Patty was shocked to see her friend Jenny coming hurriedly into her room followed by her mom. “What the fuck are you doing?! Arent, you not ready yet? You don’t want to miss the foundation day, Do you?” She said breathlessly.“Hmmm… I’m not coming! Let me sleep, please…” She said throwing her pillow on her. “NO! I’m not going there alone… You never responded to my messages last night… Don’t do this to me... I need you, you know!” Jenny pleadingly said.Today is the foundation day of Hale University and they will have the chance to meet the Accetturo brothers. That’s the reason why Jenny is acting weird today, as all of the fem
Chapter 8: Cold on him “Why did you do that? You’re being rude to the girl, you know!” Marky blurted out when Zandro was seated on the back.“What! She asked for it! Have you seen what she did to me? She’s so wild, so I gave her what she deserves.” he casually defends himself. What’s with his friend he seemed to know the girl. “So what huh? Tell me, do you know that girl?” Zandro uttered all of a sudden, don’t lie! I know when you are lying, you know the consequences when you do that! He reminds him. Damn! He’s being bossy again... When he does that he should stop messing around him or else the consequences are worse. “Alright! I met them in my Aunt’s restaurant the last time I visit her. They are her regular customer, I happen to help her and thats it, we met! They are friendly.” he smiled when he remember Jenny. Zandro frowned when he saw him smiling, is he attracted to the girl he kissed a while ago? Zandro turned cold when he can’t spell out what he was thinking. He frowned and b
45 minutes until Patty arrived at the place where she and Lorren, her sister will meet. Now she is calmer than a while ago she just can’t let things go just like that, one day she will settle accounts on that man! Patty’s promise to herself. Time will come! She swear...But patty didn’t know that God hear her prayers in no time…“Sis, did I make you wait for too long?” Patty said as she approach her near the seaside. They choose to seat in a tea house with an overlooking sight from the sea. It’s very refreshing from the eyes when Lori saw her a while ago she already ordered tea for them… She already ordered tea for them.“You’re just in time sis… I was making self-time a little, sit down…” Patty seated opposite her.“What was it?” Patty looked at her intently and by the look of it, she had something to say but hesitated… “Will talked about it later…” Lori avoided Patty’s glance. The guilt eating her insides even though she had nothing to do with the plan, she still p
Zandro got out of his father’s office and walk to the hallway of the building on the way to the lobby where Marky is waiting for him. Marky got up from his seat when he saw him approaching, he don’t wanna be here anyway, if not for Zandro he will not come to the office. He comes back to have a vacation and not to work! It’s suffocating him. He’s not in-country H now so he can take a break from the pressure of work for now. “What did Uncle tell you?” Marky asked when he was near him, he looked at him gloomily and said.“He just wants me to get married to the daughter of his childhood friend,” Zandro uttered as if it’s nothing.“And?” Marky responded enthusiastically, hoping to expect a good answer from him. Because he knows Zandro, no one can make a decision for him as long as he doesn’t want it, so he expects him to turn down his father’s offer.“I accepted,” he answered, as they were walking for the elevator to take them to the parking lot of the company where the driv
