The room was unusually silent and Lorenzo wouldn’t stop stealing glances at the woman who sat across him, her face fully buried in her food.She didn’t even raise her head to look around or anything.He shook his head and resumed eating.After a while, Martha slammed her hands on the table gently and then breathed out.“What is going on? Do you two talk it out?”“What?” He asked.“The atmosphere between you two right now? You don’t wanna get me started. I know how it is usually cozy in the dining room here. So, tell me, is anything bothering you.”“No.”“Yes.”Leilani and Lorenzo Cho rushed respectively.“There is nothing, Martha,” Leilani glanced at the woman, and then Lorenzo.“There is, Martha. She is avoiding me.”“Oh, is she?”“Yes. First, look at where she sat. She’s not even talking at all, or looking at me or something.”“Did you do anything to her?”Leilani raised her head and their eyes met. She bit her lower lips and then shook her head at the man.“No,” he shook his head.

They both sat in silence for a few seconds, almost a few minutes in fact before Lorenzo asked, “So, you regret it?”“W… what? No!” she sprang up and waved her hands at him.Lorenzo leaned back comfortably at the confused woman and then shook his head. “So?”“Of everything, I do not regret it. I mean it!” she exclaimed when he would not stop nodding his head.“So?”She shook her head, exhaled, and then returned to her seat. “C…can we not talk about this, please?”“Lani?”“As much as I enjoyed it and do not regret it, it still does not change the fact that it should not have happened. I let my l… lust take the better of me.”Lorenzo tore his eyes from her and shook his head. It was never his intention to rush things with her.Even if it would take him several years, he didn’t mind, as long as she stayed with him.Seeing the woman beat herself up because of what happened almost made him blame himself too.But, he couldn’t.The previous night was fun.She was perfect, and every moment he

“So, the first competition which occurs only in the institutions takes place on the fifteenth of next month, and the first five winners will be participating in the main contest and represent the whole institution.”The man announced and then exited the class.While they all murmured, Leilani turned to Anna and then shook her head.“I don’t understand.”“It is a competition that happens every year. All art academies in the country will be participating,” she answered.“Uhm…” Leilani nodded her head, trying to understand better.“So, it is the institution’s responsibility to provide their five best students, hence the competition that will first occur next month.”“Oh, so after that, the winners will proceed to represent the school, yeah?”“Yes! You get it. And only three winners will be picked at the end of the day.”“From each institution?”“No. In total, there will only be three winners. I heard it is a real deal, though. Many would do anything to be in the contest. Participating in

“You really are talking about your wife, Leilani?” Nicholas asked again.Lorenzo leaned in his seat, shook his head, and then hissed, “How many wives do I have, Nich?”“How did she get tangled with them?”“You didn’t see the recent brouhaha she got in?”“When?” Nicholas rushed to the table, grabbed his phone and then browsed through it.“You’re late already if you didn’t see it. It has been taken down?”“Fuck, What happened?”“Tell me! I have been so occupied lately so I didn’t see it.”“Apparently, she attends the same art academy as Caleb and the man had dared fall for her. Even though he knew she was married, he asked her out regardless. She didn’t agree with him, and he picked up a fight. In public.”“That is dumb.”“It really is.”“So, you are worried they are gonna come after her?”“He suddenly returned to his family after a long time. I don’t trust him to not make any move. And do you know what is more disturbing?”“What?”“He is still in that academy. He went there today too.

The class finally ended and while Leilani packed her things, Caleb moved over to her table and Anna stood up instantly.“You are not about to start another drama, Caleb, just be on your fucking way this instant.”“Cool down, tigress,” he groaned and then dropped his hand on the table in front of the lady.Leilani didn’t raise her head still, she kept putting her brushes in the purse and the man didn’t say anything either till she was done.She finally raised her head after she had finished packing her things and then stood up.“Let’s go, Anna,” she flashed the lady a smile, totally ignoring the man’s presence.“Let’s talk,” he snatched his tongue.“I have nothing to say to you,” she hissed and moved away.As she approached the door, exiting the space, she ignored the people who had stopped just to witness what was about to happen again while Anna trailed behind her.“Fuck,” Caleb groaned from where he stood, dropping his hands in his pocket, and then removed a packet of cigars in his

Leilani sat upright when her stomach suddenly growled, indicating that she was hungry and then dropped the brush in her hand.It had been over a couple of hours since she arrived at her workspace and had started to work on a new project.She had eaten only a little during breakfast. She didn't take out any snacks or lunch from home either, and definitely, she was not going to eat out without Lorenzo or Mia around.Thinking of Lorenzo, she stood from where she sat and then walked over to the table where she had dropped her bag and then picked it up. She removed her phone and then stared at the home screen blankly for almost a minute.He hadn’t called her. Not even once.Her phone was only filled with notifications from the gram and she hissed out unconsciously.She should not be angry, right?She had asked for it, hadn’t she?She wanted this, no?She knew that, on a normal day, the man would have called to ask how she was doing.She breathed out in frustration and then returned to her

“Leave these people alone, Agnes. Just let them be,” Aaron groaned as he walked out of the closet.“Let them be? Did you see the recent incident regarding that woman?”“I heard about it. The articles have been taken down, have they not? I bet he has it under control.”“Do you have any idea who these people are, Aaron? It is barely a month since she joined the family and she would not stop causing problems. At first, she made him leave the house. She sweet-talked him into leaving the house, and then now, she got into trouble with the son of a notorious crime lord.”“First, honey, that woman was not the reason she had left the house. You should have known Enzo already. He would do whatever he wanted because he wanted to and besides, you pushed him to leave.”“Me? How? How could you even say that?”“You slapped his wife, Agnes. You hit his wife.”“She deserved it, Aaron, and you know that. She was going to bring ruin into this family.”“And second…” he cleared his throat, ignoring her la

“So, have you come to a conclusion?”Leilani bit her lower lips while she looked ahead of her.The registration to join the competition was going to end today and after today, no one would be able to participate even if they wanted to.She shook her head vigorously and then sighed.“No.”“Come on, Leila. We need to fill out the form and submit it before the day runs out. Come on.”“What if I don’t do well?”“What if you do well?” Anna raised a brow.Leilani shook her head, still unconvinced, and then turned to look at the lady.“You don’t know anything, Anna. This is going to be so hard. There will be so much pressure and if in the end I did not do well, I am really really going to be so disappointed.”“I am believing in you, Leilani, can you not do the same?”Leilani breathed out and then shook her head.The previous night, she had talked to Lorenzo but had never mentioned to him about the upcoming contest until the man did.What was she expecting, of course, he was aware of it.“Ah…

“Lorenzo!” Aaron hollered and then rushed towards the man.“I was just coming to see you!” He knelt down and then touched his legs gently like there were thorns around it which was preventing him from touching them well.But Lorenzo didn’t stand still, he walked past his father gently and then approached Shane, his face as hard as rock.“W… why are you coming in my direction?” Shane stuttered, moving backward.“Hi, brother,” Lorenzo tilted his head.“Someone stop this psycho from moving closer to me!” He snapped.“Why? Are you scared of me?” He asked when Shane’s back touched the wall, and he covered the space between them.“W… what are you doing?”Lorenzo tugged his lips into a smirk and then moved his hands from his pockets.“I know, brother.”“K… know what?” He asked, beads of sweat gathering on his forehead.“I know what you did,” he said, ever calmly.Shane swallowed the lump in his throat and then hurriedly wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.He was bluffing.He didn't

“I have things to take care of today. I will resume at the company tomorrow,” Lorenzo said as he buttoned up his wrist, his phone on loudspeaker and then dropped it on the table in front of him.“What do I do?”“You should get things in order. We are both resuming tomorrow. Release an official statement that I will be resuming tomorrow. Sort out the interview proposal that you must have received and pick up the best of them. You can do that much, right?”“Yes, sir.”“Good.”“Sir, how about the issue with Shane? You have not…”He cleared his throat, picked up his phone, and then glanced at his wife, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bed.“I will sort that out.”“When? We can’t let this drag out. We have all the evidence to apprehend him and…”“I will sort it out, David,” he cut him short and couldn’t miss the deep sigh he gave.“Don’t worry. I have it under control.”“Do you need me to go with you when you’re going?”Lorenzo chuckled and then shook his head like the man was goin

“But… Benzo is not one common name. I mean, I have heard it quite a lot in the past but I can’t quite remember where,” Leilani said as she stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in the bathroom robe.“Oh… yeah.”“What? You wanna say something?” She asked as she settled in front of the dressing table and then pulled forward her facial care routine.“Actually,” he started and sat upright.“What?” Leilani glanced at him through the mirror.“He works at my company.”“Who?”“Jonathan.”She parted her lips and then drew her brows together.“What?!”“So, the thing is, he works at my company. He recently got promoted to an executive, in fact.”“Lorenzo?”“I know what you’re thinking,” he raised his hands.“Trust me, you don’t.”“I have many companies to my name, you know? There’s Benzo electronics, pharmaceuticals, Architecture, mall… and a few like that, and he happens to work in one of them, Benzo Electronics.”“Why? I mean… why do you let him work for you?”“He has been a staff at the compan

“B… brother is Benzo?!” Mia exclaimed as she stopped in front of Leilani and then took her hands in hers.“That makes the two of us. I’m excited,” she sucked her teeth.“What? You… you didn’t know about it?” She asked, raising her brows.“I am finding out for the first time tonight just like every other person,” she shrugged.“B… but…” Mia cleared her throat.“Maybe he has his reasons for…”“Don’t take his side, Martha!”Mia and Leilani snapped.“Good, he’s coming. He has a lot of…”Leilani snatched her hands from Mia and then smacked, “I will head inside first.”Mia, with her mouth opened agape watched as the lady walked away and then shook her head.“She is so pissed.”“He should have told her, at least.”Mia creased her brows at Martha and then chuckled, “Were you not just taking his side?” “I just needed to make her calm down, of course.”“I think you only made it worse.”Lorenzo rushed to them and then panted, “Why didn’t you stop her?!”“Why should I?” “You are so…”“You are t

Arthur didn’t know he had staggered backward and the panicked murmurs from the others had snapped him back to reality.“Y… you…”He pointed his index finger at Lorenzo who looked really unbothered as he turned to look at his security team.“Are you ready, sir?” David asked, and he nodded his head.The men formed a proper barricade, and then began to push through the crowd, with Lorenzo, his wife and Nicholas trailing slowly with them.They kept waking, ignoring the crowds while Lorenzo moved over to Leilani, and then took her hand gently in his.She raised her head to look at him, sighed and he nodded his head at her, smiling softly.When the security team stopped moving, they stopped too and David who was leading moved over to him.“There are so many paparazzi outside,” he whispered in his ear.“Really?”“Yes. Literally all media companies are here.”He looked down at Leilani again and then leaned down, “Are you good?”“Yes.”“How about the back exit?” He asked David.“It is jammed t

“I am Lorenzo Byers, and I am the founder of the BENZO group of companies.”Agnes choked on the water she was drinking as she stood up gently from the couch with Aaron opposite her.“That is…”She coughed out loud, dropping the glass cup in her hand and not minding the way it shattered to the ground. She hit her chest and then coughed again.“That is…”“Lorenzo?” Aaron whispered, and then removed his medicated glasses from his eyes as if that was going to help him to see clearer.“That is Lorenzo?!” Agnes hollered and then widened her eyes.They had both settled in front of the Television to watch the event as they had hoped that Arthur would be receiving an award that night.“He is… Benzo?”“He can… walk?”Agnes and Aaron stuttered respectively.“This is wrong. There must be an error somewhere,” Agnes shook her head.But, Aaron’s reaction was different.He staggered to the big screen, touched it, and trailed his fingers down his son’s supposed legs.“He is standing!” He cried out an

David shook his head as his boss wouldn’t stop laughing and then shook his head.“Sir.”Lorenzo smacked and then exhaled. “All along… it was him.”“Boss.”“We suspected someone from the house, did we not?”“Yes, but certainly not Shane.”Lorenzo nodded his head in agreement and then dropped his head on the headrest, his eyes closed.He might have actually imagined it to be anyone, but never Shane.He thought he knew the man.He was reckless and sassy, but certainly not the type to commit arson or murder.Well, in the past.He had just assumed the man to be a jester as he used to derive joy in making fun of his condition by coming up with numerous ironies just to insult him.But never in his whole life had he thought that Shane would go as far as wanting to kill his own wife.“Boss.”“Yes?” He opened his eyes and then sat upright.“What do we do?”“Where is he?”“He is in the hall also,” he answered.Lorenzo nodded his head and then chuckled.“Give me your orders. What do you want me t

“Is that not… Enzo’s wife?”Shane chuckled dryly as he leaned in his seat and then nudged his brother gently.Arthur took his hand from the woman who sat beside him and then turned to look in the direction Shane pointed at.“No way.”“Look there. She is sitting with Nicholas.”Arthur squinted his brows and when he confirmed that it was truly the woman, he chuckled and then hissed.“Who is that?” The woman, Emily asked.Emily was his girlfriend and he had hoped that after the event was over, he would take her home and introduce her to his family.“Lorenzo’s wife.”“Your stepbrother?” She asked and he nodded his head.“Woah, she’s pretty,” she sucked her teeth.“I don’t see it.”“She is so pretty. She looks better in person.”“Whatever,” he rolled his eyes and then turned to look at Shane.“Why is she here though?”“Perhaps… She came out to cheer for Nicholas? No one needs to be told, we know he’s getting an award tonight again.”For the past five years, Nicholas had been receiving awar

“Are you ready?”Nicholas asked her and she nodded her head, taking a deep breath.“I don’t know what we’re doing, as Lorenzo wouldn’t say a word but, okay. I am ready.”“Don’t fret. It is nothing serious,” he shook his head and then curved his arm beside her.Leilani nodded her head and then breathed out again. “If you say so.”She linked her arm around his arm, and together, they walked to the press.The moment they sighted them, they all turned to look at them, flashing their lights at them which almost overwhelmed the woman.But, Nicholas was holding on to her tight as they walked down the red carpet.They kept walking, ignoring the literally provoking questions the press was asking till they walked in through the opened door of the hall.Leilani gasped softly as she entered the hall.It was the largest she had ever seen. Real or on the television. It was so bright too that it could blind a person, and the ornaments used to beautify the hall could not go unnoticed.Chandeliers hu
