novelxo Chapter New Responsiblity
The breakfast was good, Twins were smarter than he expected and quickly mingle with his family, Alessandro sighed in relief when saw happy face of his father, a part of his conflicts with him, he loves his father and was grateful for every effort he had made for them in past. Since they all had finished their meals, he asked Autumn to go for shopping for herself, her friend and kids but she said afterwards and he didn't mind, he understand the disturbance she was going through hence the best option for her was to let it go and by time she will accept the fact and adjust herself in here.
'Why the hell you brought the matter of Giovanni on the table in front of Dada?' once their father set off for his business meetings, he, Theo and Gabriel came in to his large and spacious office on the second floor of the mansion. Alessandro observed the annoyance in the eyes of his younger brother, obviously he was pissed for what his nephew has to go through and did not want Giovanni to have any form of satisfaction or joy, he totally agrees with his annoyance but he has his plans.
'Forget it, we can't do anything about it' settling down on his chair, loosening his tie knot he didn't show much interest in the matter.
'Sandro, Harris is a very major client and losing him to Giovanni wouldn't be a wise decision, besides you have involved dada in it to make it worse' Theodore slump down on the couch with gloom, glancing at his brother's crankiness Alessandro clears his throat.
'Theo' he called him for getting his attention when he was busy in glaring the wall in front of him.
'Huh' he turned his head to look in to the eyes of his brother that had learned the trick to hide his emotions beneath them.
'You should know that I have so many responsibilities as a CEO and Leader and from yesterday one more has been add up in the list' getting the hint what he was talking about Theodore arched his brow.
'Okay?' nodding Alessandro pointed towards the closed door.
'I am currently busy with my fatherly responsibilities and would appreciate if you will not disturb me in this' Theodore huffed but nodded his head any ways and left the room next moment leaving Gabriel and Alessandro behind. Gabriel focused his attention on him as he knew what his boss will demand from him.
'Did you gathered the information I asked you to?'
'Open the first draw on your left, there are files you required' following him he found two files in there, fetching them out he opened the one on the top.
'So, she was the girlfriend of Samuel Russo' going through the information of the mother of his children he commented.
'It looks like it, but Samuel was using her to achieve his tasks and once it was done he dumped her that very day' connecting the dots he was getting on the point.
'Those bastards are more wicked than I thought' a bitterness in his voice, Gabriel pressed his lips tightly to not comment on his remark.
'Ms. Banner is working in our company from more than two years now and she is very appraised by her seniors and head.' Seeing his eyes fix on the page of her working portfolio Gabriel started briefing him about her.
'Not to brag, she deserves it' the surprised meeting he attended yesterday was very appreciative, she did cover all the minor and major areas in her presentation and did a very thorough analysis.
'She is expecting a promotion on heads position after appraisal of this quarter' Gabriel informed him.
Alessandro nodded firmly, not showing off any sort of expression through his face.
'By the way you were saying that kids didn't go to school yesterday that's why it was easy for Russo's to kidnap them' closing the file after shuffling the pages and skimming through them he turned his head to look at his assistant. 'Yes, it is more like babysitting where they teach them basic things and let them play until the parents of children come to pick them up'
'She must be doing it because of her job' Gabriel agreed.
'Fine, as they will be living here from now on, I think I should talk with her in more detail about her planning, things need to be start from scratch I guess' he shared his thought. 'Indeed'
'Where is she and kids?' Gabriel pointed his index finger towards the large window in his office, baffled he spin his head to look out of the window from here he could only see was the clear blue sky. 'You have to stand up for it and peak' to make his action clearer he commented at him.
'What the hell' irritated he walked towards the window and watched the view outside when moving from every corner of their garden and porch they caught her sitting near the same fountain she seemed impressed yesterday.
'She really is struck by the beauty of the fountain' he muttered seeing his boys running after each other, falling on the ground and then again standing up, the scene was pleasant to his eyes, his heart swelled with fatherly love. 'Contact top designer company to visit our garden and prepare a good and safe playing area for the kids'
'Will do' Gabriel noted down on his notes list.
'Also, assign the room designing to them as well, one for kids and one for her' Gabriel nodded but stopped abruptly.
'What about Ms. Banner's friend?' Alessandro squinted his eyes.
'They were living under one roof?' he nodded.
'Fine, add one for her as well'
'Where are you going?' seeing him moving towards the door he asked in rush.
'To have talk with the mother of my kids' he yelled taking long strides towards the garden.
'Why are you so quiet? Aren't you happy to find out their father?' finally they got the privacy to talk, Logan and Ethan were playing, they look very happy to meet their father and his family.
'I am glad to find out' she exhaled a deep breath breaking her trance.
'Than?' Autumn chew her lip in frustration.
'I am afraid' she whispered, Natalie tilted her head in astonishment.
'Afraid? For what?' Wait don't tell me you are afraid that they will snatch them from you?' Autumn blink her eyes rapidly to stop the tears from spilling from her eyes.
'They won't, your kids will not let that happen, they need you' she sniffed but nodded at her.
'It is not the only reason of my fear' Natalie looked at her with questioningly look.
'They have enemies and just like yesterday, I am scared if others will also harm my kids for sake of their business benefits' Natalie sighed and looked the luxurious mansion in front of her eyes, no doubt the father of her nephews come out as the richest and approached bachelor of the town and with these tags, rivalry comes along, she understands the fear her friend held inside her heart.
'Can we talk?' while they both were silently zoned out in to their own thoughts, Alessandro's deep and thick voice jolted them out of it forcing them to spin towards the source of the voice.
