The Devil Who Bought Me のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Lorenzo's family house was gigantic in itself. It was one of the largest buildings that Natalie had ever seen. She had arrived at the event with Lorenzo. Riding with him in the same car. Anita had stayed back since it was a family stuff. She held her gift tightly. Her off-shoulder dress hugged her tightly. Anita had helped her pick it out. Heads turned as she made her way to the front seats, Lorenzo's hand in hers loosely joined together. Whispers flew everywhere around her she knew that were talking about her. "You're the most pretty person in this room right now, are you aware?" Lorenzo's voice whispered in her ears. "I doubt that" She said. He chuckled. "Everyone's looking at you" he said. She scoffed. "That's because I'm new, none of them knows me. And you didn't host a family wedding. It was a takeover. I doubt many of them knows you're even married. I could be your side chick for all they know" she said teasingly. His grip on her hand tightened. "I'd advice you to choose y

Natalie resumed work the next week, Anita was always by her side. Lorenzo had offered to give her a room in the penthouse and then allowed her to move in there when she insisted. Now she was free from the estate, free from Leila's troubles and had a home to call hers. With Lorenzo's permission , she has renovated the kitchen, changing the drab, boring wallpapers to light cheerful ones, the rooms had been tweaked a bit to suit hers and Anita's taste. Lorenzo wasn't always there, so it made a cozy little home for the two women. She had also enrolled Anita in the same defense trainings as her. She wanted her to be the perfect PA, and incorporating her fully into her life was all that she needed. "You look so cheerful this morning, what's your secret? " Marina asked as she breezed in. Anita went straight to Fiona's office. She'd also begged Lorenzo to let his PA coach Anita. He'd agreed relunctantly. She smiled at Marina wondering what was always making her bitter. "I had a good ni

Lorenzo watched the two figures at the entrance of the company silently. "what are those two up to?" he said to himself but Marco heard him and decides to answer. "That's Mirabel, Natalie's aunt while growing up. She knows her as Zulu and that's her daughter Isolde." Lorenzo watched as the older woman with a limping leg got into the car. Isolde waved and went back into the office. From afar it looked like a normal mother-daughter scenario but Lorenzo knew it had to be more than that. Relatives didn't just show up out of nowhere. "how come I had no idea that Natalie's family worked under my very nose." he asked a bit annoyed. Marco sighed. "I looked into that also. She's been working here for quite a long time." he paused. "I believe Esmeralda had a hand in her being here." Lorenzo's brows raised and he turned to his assistant. "Since when did Esmeralda start pulling strings in my own company? " he asked. "The manger of the department in charge of recruitment

"You sure about this? " Anita asked her boss. Natalie bit her lips and sighed expressively. "I don't know, but it's worth the shot right? " she asked. Anita shrugged. It was the weekend. Natalie wasn't supposed to go anywhere, so she stayed at home with Anita making plans for her aunt to meet the De Luca family . Lorenzo had given her the go ahead and promised quite reluctantly to be present for the family dinner. "I just don't want it to be something too big to handle. Aunt Zulu is like family to me and given the family I'm married into, it's more than enough for me to have. " she said letting out a sigh. "well, since the master gave his consent. I think you should head over to the estate inform madam de Luca and get things ready before calling your aunt." Anita said. "you think? " she asked. Anita raised a brow. "I know. Except of course you'd like to host them here which going by anything I've known is not idealistic. And you can't just bring them unannounced to the hou

They reached the house in record time, she went up to her room, with Anita trailing behind. Her pains were already subsidizing and she could stand on her own now. "You should probably get soaked. I will if I were you" Natalie suggested as she went into her room. Anita only nodded and headed on to her space. "I'll definitely do just that, Thank you Natalie." she said tearing up already. Natalie gave her a kind smile. "It's okay but tell me, why did you do as she asked? You don't work for them anymore. No one's going to hurt you again, but that's if you learn to stand up for yourself. I won't always be near you and right now I'm the only who cares about you and you know it. I can't keep hitting Leila everytime you get bullied." she said. Anita sighed. "I just didn't want to make things hard for you while you went to talk with madam de Luca. I figured if I just held on long enough you'd be done and then we could leave quietly, without trouble ." she said. Natalie rolled her ey
