Chapter 10

‎Thank you for meeting me here, what can I offer you? I have coffee, bourbon, whiskey?

‎A glass of water would be fine

‎"Ok, I'll ring the butler to get you some" I said my hand reaching for the bell

‎Yes sir?

‎Get Mr freeman a glass of water

‎Right away sir

‎I can't thank you enough for honoring this invitation (pouring a glass of bourbon) as a good friend of my father I can only imagine how his death must have affected you, given the circumstances and all....

‎Oh why yes Mr Alessandro, your father was a good man and his death was very quite unfortunate but I believe he is in a good place, a better place, I believe he's resting with our lord...(butler setting down the water before him)

‎

‎Which is why we must make a toast to our beloved father and good friend who may not be with us here, but his legacy lives on (raising his glass) to Georgio Alessandro

‎"To Georgio Alessandro" repeated Mr freeman their glasses clicking

‎

‎Speaking of legacies did my father ever confide in you about any exceptions in his will? Being his lawyer and all

‎I don't understand? What exception?

‎Is there any clause in the will, he is supp.....

‎Im sorry mr Alessandro, I cannot speak about my clients to 3rd parties

‎

‎Ah, but I'm no stranger here Mr freeman, I'm his first born son, he's rightful heir, so you can imagine my shock and surprise when I learned that I was to be stripped of my inheritance.... An inheritance that I prepared for my whole life for

‎

‎Yes I quite understand that Mr Carlos but the will has already been set and there really nothing I ca.....

you and I know that it's supposed to be me, without any doubt and I'm just trying to take back what is rightfully mine

so help me take it back Mr freeman.....

that's impossible Mr Alessandro, I cannot interfere in the will, and I don't think there's anyth.....

Do you believe in God Mr freeman?

W- what i- I I I I I d-d don't unders....

it's really a simple yes or no mr freeman, do you believe in God

I'd like to think that I do

good.. very good

And as a good Christian and a man of good faith, aren't you obligated to help your fellow brother in need.....

(what a weak ass argument, ugh)

this is different Mr Alessandro, I cannot interfere in the will, what is done is done, and the will processes will start the following Monday

BUT THAT INHERITANCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!!!!..... I HAVE PROVED BEYOND EVERY REASONABLE DOUBT THAT I SHOULD BE NEXT IN LINE.... EVERYONE AT MY FATHER'S COMPANY KNOWS ME AND KNOWS THAT IT SHOULD BE RUNNING IT NOT THAT FUCKING HALFWIT OF A BROTHER

I beg your pardon me Alessandro??..... perhaps it's time to take my leave

no don't go ...... (sigh) I apologize if I my outburst disturbed you Mr freeman... but surely you must understand my lamentations.....

I quite understand you Mr Carlos but as I stated before.... I cannot do anything to alter the will...

50 million usd

what???

I'll give you 50million if you can say the old man wasn't in the right frame of mind when he changed his will, his health was deteriorating

I beg your pardon me Carlos???. I really should take my leave

that's alright Mr freeman.... such a shame we couldn't conclude our meeting on positive terms

shall I walk you to your car????

that won't be necessary Mrs Carlos.... I'll find my way my self

ok then let charlie show you to the door

one more thing Mr Carlos...

yes...

for the sake of the relationship I had with your father I won't say a word of our conversation to anyone but this would be the last time I would ever have a private conversation with you again. Any follow up questions about the will before it's executions begin you would have to go through the normal way which is scheduling an appointment and there would be third parties involved... good day

this fucking lawyer.... I muttered

and I can't kill the bastard... that would make all fingers to point at me

nahh.. that bitch would probably switch sides the second she saw as soon as she sees that the old hag has money

that's all that bitch's known for.... greed

ooh stoop it Carlos, you make me blush, you flatter me she said her eyes sparkling

you're worth every compliment Gabriella I said winking at her

excellent.... she's a whore just like her bitch daughter

I came to talk to you about Isabelle,she said looking at me her expression different "I know she can be quite a hand full

i can assure you Mrs Martinez I love your daughter, Isabella is my soulmate, we just have a little bit of a couple's fight we'll resolve it... we always do

yes I am quite aware of that but as you know Isabella can be quite difficult even as a child she always wan...

why are you really here Gabriella

Excuse me?

yes I am well aware of Isabella and her childish games but you on the other hand I'd say you aren't really here for her....... you're here for you aren't you Gabriella

I beg your pardon Carlos?? perhaps I have overstayed my welcome here....

fuck you're right I'm sorry gaby "I said making her name sould sexy" I over stepped

it's fine she said

allow me to make my apology much better with a glass of red wine?

I'd rather have a glass of bourbon if there's any

excellent choice, this way ma'am I said leading her by the waist to my office
