One Week LaterVincenzo sat across from his nosy friend, awaiting the result of the test conducted the day before. Since that night, he and Ariana had continuously had sex. Every night had been blissful to him but deep down he knew she was still hurting."There is still no significant improvement or whatever in the test. Maybe we should give it a six-month test then?" Martin suggested, smiling." What if it doesn't work?" Vincenzo asked, frowning." Let's be hopeful, Vince. I am sure I will surely get something before the end of the contract. I will need to study her blood too," Martin said, assuring him." I will send her to you, then. I need to hear something positive in the next six months," Vincenzo said." Are you that eager to leave her?" Martin asked, touching his chin. He knew Vincenzo very well. Something was fishy."Got a problem with that?" Vincenzo asked, glaring at him."Are you trying to deceive yourself? Do you think simply because the contract would be over, it would a
Mr. Wesley stared at the report in his hands, his eyes stuck to the words written at the end of the letter. Was his son so worthless? Just the day before, Rex had assured him of the sure collaboration. What then happens in less than 48 hours? This was absurd and a little fishy. It looked as if someone was working behind the scene.But then those men weren't the type to go back on their words after an assurance. Could Rex be lying these all time? He stared at Rex with his eyes spitting venom.How could he give birth to such a weakling? Someone who can't even close a proper deal! He was getting so furious that he hit the desk loudly, his eyes fixed on the fidgety Rex before him."Tell me what happened!" Mr. Wesley bellowed."It was declined. I-don't-know what happened. The deal was already sealed but…""What do you mean by they declined the offer!?" Mr. Wesley thundered as he threw the files at Rex."Father-""If they declined the offer, you give triple of it, you stupid moron. Can't y
Vincenzo stared at the message on his phone. It looked like his mother and sister were at it again. He wonder why his mother want to see him after everything he had told her. Did they think he would accept Harley back after everything? "Is everything okay?" Ariana asked, seeing the complicated look on Vincenzo's face."Nothing to be worried about. Let's continue with the dinner," Vincenzo said, pouring himself a glass. Ariana nodded and continue with her food. It's been ages since she had something close to a date like this without having to pay for everything. Rex had always been a lecher right from the day they met. She thought he truly loved her and he was willing to spend all the rest of his days with her.How wrong of her!"I am confident Rossi would be a good tool. Tell me what else you would want to do to Rex," Vincenzo asked, taking a bite from his steak."I want the company handed over to his brother. I want to make him homeless and penniless. Let's see if Vera would come t
"What's the report?" Mr wisely asked his assistant who had been standing there for a while now.The young man sighed then handed the file to him, "The company is declining fast and I am afraid that at this rate things wouldn't go in our favour. The internet has our brand printed all over and there have been numerous articles. I am afraid the company is declining fast too as the shareholders don't want to cooperate with us. What should we do sir?" His assistant explained while he browsed through the graph.He felt a splitting headache and sighed. What was he going to do now?His stupid prodigal son has ruined everything for him because of his immature brain! "Come back later. I have something to do. Call me when something important comes up," He said shushing the man away.Of course his assistant understood the message. He nodded then left the place.My wisley gritted his teeth angrily as he stood before the blank laptop before him. His office phone continues ringing non stop and he
"Did you hear what happened?" Ariana's ears perked up on hearing the faint murmurs around from her colleagues.Her fingers steadily typing on the keyboard as she listens to their conversations."I did and from the look of things it seems the Wisely company has finally lost its heir," A colleague replied. Aria shook her head as she picked her phone then logged into the internet."I didn't expect Vincenzo to pull things so fast." She thought as she scrolled through the articles on the Internet.She smiled then continued typing. Soon there was another round of gossip in the office.She smiled and sipped on her coffee still typing away like she wasn't aware of what was going on around her.A brown haired lady looked around and noticed how focused she was typing on the keyboard then smiled and nudged her colleague."I wondered when she will ever join the gist in town?" She laughed."She must be in a hurry just take a look at her hands," A chubby face replied.They shook their heads and con
"At this rate if we keep up with these goods our company will get into a new height," Roger said as he placed down a document for everyone to see.They were in a general meeting and all the board of directors were present. Vincenzo looked around observing the people present.The atmosphere was a little tense as they waited for his reply."Who's the manager of this project?" He calmly asked. Roger looked around then pointed at himself.Vincenzo nodded, then continued,"Who's involved with the research apart from you?"There was silence in the room and he nodded. He took out a file from where he was then passed it to Roger." I expected more from you. I want you to organize the team and present this idea for the next meeting, next!" He calmly told him as the young man went through the file presented to him."I will not fail you sir," The man said, then quickly went back to his seat. A burly man in a well dressed Thai made suit walked towards the front of the desk then continued with his
Ariana's hands flew to her mouth as she felt sick seeing the bloody scene before her. Her eyes darted around and fell on the silent Vincenzo. She wanted to ask him what he had done to the man on the floor. She was ready to save the man but-On a closer look, her brow furrowed." Barry?"That was Rex's close friend. Why was he looking so bloodied? If she hadn't looked closer, she wouldn't have recognized him with his bruised lips and swollen face. What did he do to deserve such beating? She turned to look at the quiet Vincenzo who was looking smart in his bespoke suit, stainless but with a deadly aura that seem to oppress everyone.Except Ariana who was glaring at him. She never said he should punish Rex's friends. She just wants Rex to suffer alone. She wouldn't even touch Vera because her grudge was with her ex fiance. "This wasn't in our agreement, Mr. Vincenzo. You have to let him go!" Ariana said, walking toward the man who was barely holding out.As soon as the man looked at the
"To clear out the news in a week isn't something I am capable of, sir," Rossi replied as he walked towards him and dropped the file on the table."I think it's best I just stick to the reason I am here and do my part well. I meant the one I volunteered to do. I will talk to a few shareholders I know and see if they will cooperate with us but if otherwise. We will have no other choice than to apologise to the customers who were infected by the products," Rossi calmly explained. Mr Wesley's brows furrowed tightly. He would only be a fool if he says he doesn't understand what the young man before him was trying to say.'It seems he isn't as dumb as I thought,' He thought as he stared at the innocent-faced man standing before him. He shook his head then took the file from the desk.' it's a shame that this diamond has slipped off my hands. I shouldn't have given Rex a second chance!' He sighed helplessly as he went through the file before him."The company has lost half of its income and
