Hired for the Billionaire's Son 28. Attraction
DANTENow, he was no longer sure what was happening. It had only been a week since he got to know about his mother's new affiliate and, just yesterday, the investigator had called to tell him that the Lorenzo had been forcefully taken away by some men, they had left in a black van. The man reported that he was already following them but he could not keep up with their speed so he lost them. Who were these people that had a common enemy with him? He was just curious. He only wanted to find out who they were for the sole reason of joining forces with them. Then, he would not be bluffing when he tells his mother that he would take her down. He really hoped the investigator would get a lead on who those people were soon enough.He was currently on his way to the roof top to get some fresh air and some alone time too. But as soon as the doors of the lift parted and he stepped out, he began to hear people giggling, those voices belonged to his son and the nurse. He traced the sound of their

DANTEHe was trying to focus on the work he was doing, but he just could not, he was not able to. And no, it was not because he was worried about Gloria's dubious ways, it was because images of Genesis from the pool yesterday kept flashing in his mind. She was the last thing he thought of before he went to sleep last night, and the first thing on his mind when he woke up this morning. Perhaps, it was because she looked... different in that two-piece swimsuit yesterday, he could not deny that much. Her scrubs really did well to hide her figure and when he saw her in her swimwear yesterday, he was more than shocked. He was glad that he did well to feign nonchalance the whole time. Even while he was playing with his son, he had found himself stealing glances at her. It was a very strange feeling but he was sure it was not an attraction. She just looked really pretty at the time and anyone would stare, that was what he was trying to make himself believe. Today, he had to call Luke for

DANTEHe was typing away on his laptop when the chime of his phone made his hands pause midair. He picked up the phone and a frown crossed his face, it was an unknown number. On a normal day, he would have ignored it, but given the current situation he was facing, he thought it wise to answer the call.“Hello?” He said after answering the call and pressing the phone against his ear.“What did you do to him?”His frown deepened, both because of the owner of that voice and the stupid question she was asking him.“Gloria, I do not have the time for your nonsense.” He let her know. “What are you even talking about now?”“Oh please, don't play dumb with me. Spare me that crap.” He could picture her flicking her wrist as she said that. “I know that you know about him and you have done something to him.”“Who are you talking about?” Dante was now more frustrated. Who the hell was she talking about?“Dante, stop playing with me and tell me what you did to Lorenzo.” Gloria's voice was sharp, b

GENESISShe was anxiously waiting for Sara's call, looking to find out if her brother had been released yet. The way she was worrying about him, he did not even deserve it, she was aware of that. But he was still her flesh and blood and her heat squeezed in pain at his plight, even though she was responsible for it. All she wanted was to not be responsible for his death. If he died, she would have to live with an everlasting guilt.Her phone buzzed and she jumped to pick the call before it could even ring up to five seconds.“Hello? Sara?” She did not even bother to hide that she was worried. “Have they let him go?”“Yes.” Sara said and she sighed in relief. “He's in a really bad state though. Surely, he has learnt to not mess with you. This should be enough to make him back off.”Genesis doubted that that did anything to change her brother's mind. He had a hard heart and she was sure that, by now, his men were already plotting their revenge. That was if they had not already executed

DANTE They had met at an abandoned amusement park near his estate, him and the investigator. This was not the usual place he would prefer to meet, but this particular meeting had to be as unsuspecting as possible. Unsuspecting in an abandoned amusement park, he thought to himself. The irony. Discreet. That was the word he was looking for. This meeting had to be as discreet as possible. Here, only squirrels could eavesdrop on their conversation. “The only thing I could get them to disclose was that Lorenzo was the enemy of an enemy and they had to handle him for friendship’s sake.” The investigator was telling him. “Also, he has been released. They abandoned him behind the cafe he was at with your mother when they took him at first.”“Why would they release him?” He blurted out the question as soon as it popped in his head.“I don't know, I do not understand these people.” The investigator confessed. “But I do know that Lorenzo was not doing good when his people found him.”Of cour

GENESISElon was in one of his bright moods today. He was grinning at her as she bent his leg and straightened it again. “It hurts a little bit.” He told her. “But I like it. At least, I can feel something.”She forced a smile at the boy, thoughts of her best friend did not let her smile genuinely. But she has promised herself to do better and not let her negative energy get to the kid again. “We are going to try something new today.” She informed the kid.He beamed, his spine straightening. “What is it?”“You're going to try standing up today. With my help, of course.” She ruffled his hair. But she noticed that his smile had fallen, and he had looked away from her. So she asked, “what's wrong?”“I'm not sure I can do that, Jenny.” His eyes dropped to his fingers that he was fondling with.“How do you know when you've not tried?” She moved closer to him and hugged him from the side. “Just give it a try first.”“I can feel things in my legs but I don't have the strength to stand yet

GENESISShe was pacing in her room, looking at her phone and almost at the brink of tears. This was the fourth day and she was still yet to receive a call from her brother's men. She was sure that they were only delaying the whole thing to get under her skin, they were aware that she was anxiously waiting for their call.Part of her was happy that those drug lords were going to do something to find her friend. But at the same time, she knew that Dante and the men were underestimating her brother and his own men. Only her was aware of the things her brother was capable of.They thought her brother and his men were just a team of flimsy criminals and that was what they were preparing for. But it was very far from that. If she could crown a king of hardened criminals, it would be her brother. She would have warned Dante and told him all these things, but how was she going to explain where she got the information from? The only thing she could do was to somehow convince Dante to go with

GENESISThere was only one thing that made her happy these days: Elon's progress. Unlike three days ago, he could now stand without his legs shaking and hurting too much. He has even walked two steps that morning with her support. She did not know when she began to cry and the kid, full of happiness too, joined in the fit of tears. This was even more reason she could not go to meet he brother the coming Saturday. Her departure would not only halt this progress, but it would leave the boy heartbroken and she did not ever want to be responsible for that. If only Dante and his new allies could rescue Sara before Saturday. She did not know when they planned to execute their mission, she was not even aware of what Dante was planning on doing to Gloria. Usually, he would have come to her with updates on their plans, but she had not even been seeing him often lately as he spent most of his time with the Italian men now. So she was going to look for him herself and ask. Maybe, just maybe,

GENESIS[Two years later]It was a lovely time of the year to be on the beach. While Dante and Scar Face were at the shore with Elon, she was sitting on the sand with Sara. “So when are you going to tell him?” Sara asked, squinting at her. Genesis smiled as she responded. “Tonight. I can't wait to see his reaction.”“I'm sure he'll be so happy.”“Yes, yes.” Genesis nodded. “He's wanted this since we got married.”“We've all wanted this.” Sara laughed. “I've even been picking names out.”“Oh please.” Genesis chuckled. “Knowing you, you've picked out the most outrageous ones.”“Whatever.” Sara rolled her eyes. “I'll wait until we find out the gender to tell you my top choices.”Just then, Elon began to run to her, screaming, “Mommy, look!”He had found a cute seashell and he was running to show it to her. Since he started walking again about a year ago, he barely sat down. He was either running all around, making her chase him, or he was kicking things he was not supposed to be kickin
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 60. New Beginning
DANTEWords could not describe what he felt when it was her face that he saw as he opened his eyes in the morning. Flashbacks of the previous night flooded his memory and he could not help but smile to himself.Careful not to wake her up, he slowly got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen. And it was not long before he realized that he did not know too many recipes offhand. So he brought out his phone and watched some short YouTube videos on easy breakfast recipes. He later settled for eggs, bacon, and toast that morning, making it to the best of his abilities. And together with a glass of orange juice and a napkin, he assembled everything in a wooden tray and took them up to his room. She was already up when he walked in with the tray of food. He placed it carefully on the bed and went to join her on his balcony. She was wearing the shirt that he had abandoned on the floor from yesterday, with his boxers too.He held her waist from behind and he heard her giggle. “Good morni

GENESIS Dante had not left her side since he laid eyes on her that morning. He followed her everywhere: to the kitchen, the garden and even inside her room. Now, they were both on her bed, both cuddled in each other's arms. Her head was on his chest and she could hear his heartbeat, she enjoyed listening to it. Smiling to herself, she snuggled deeper in his arms, inhaling his scent that she could not get enough of. At that moment, she wished that they would remain like that forever. Just the two of them.“Jenny?” He called out.“Huh?”“Move in with me.”She laughed and raised her head to look at him. “I already live with you, don't I?”“I mean move in with me, to my room.” She clarified. “I want you there with me. It's bigger and more comfortable. And you can make any adjustments you want, decorate it as you like.”“Are you sure you want that?” She asked him, a little bit unsure. She was aware that he was all about having his own space, so him wanting her to stay in his room was dif

GENESISMr. Del Monte and his wife left that morning. Dante had asked for some time alone with them in his office while she went about her morning routine. She was surprised when three of them came downstairs all smiles and having a friendly conversation.It was refreshing to see them get along like that, she was even happier to see that the couple had earned Dante's forgiveness. All they wanted was to be a part of their grandson's life and she was glad that Dante had given them that opportunity.They said their goodbyes and she got busy with making breakfast. Although, she was not really comfortable when Dante informed her that he had invited Luke over for breakfast. It was obvious that he no longer liked her and was convinced that she was adulterous.And it was like her thought of him caused him to materialize in their house, because he walked through the kitchen's door not too long after his thought crossed her mind. She ignored him to the best of her abilities as he just stood the

DANTEHis heart had been heavy since he woke up. Last night was hellish and as soon as he had gotten Elon to fall asleep, his own body had shut down too.Elon was still in deep sleep beside him. And it was understandable, given the shock that the kid had gone through yesterday. Throughout the whole thing, Elon had been quiet. It was only when Genesis walked out with her brother that the boy burst out crying, that was when Dante was reminded that his son was still in the room, and he witnessed everything first hand.He pushed the duvet off him and left the kid's room for his own. What he really needed at that moment was a cold shower to soothe his headache. Last night, his heart broke into a million pieces; now, he just felt numb and empty. Like when he had freshly lost Evelyn. Genesis had somehow ignited something in him again, but with her own hands, she ended up putting out that fire that was burning for her inside him. He thought of her and wished he had never let himself be vulne

GENESISHer heart was beating so fast that she thought it was going to jump out of her chest. She was standing still, staring at her brother with gaped lips and wide eyes. She had just met him in the estate that evening and he made it seem like he was stalling his wicked plans for her. She blamed herself, she should have known better than to believe any of those deceitful words that came out of his mouth.“Oh, Sister.” He shook his head as he took two steps forward. “You look mortified, why? Am I no longer allowed to check up on my dear sister?”She still could not bring herself to speak as it was hard for her to believe her eyes. This was the end for her, she felt it.“After conniving with Gloria, you have the guts to show up in my house?” She heard Dante speak. Rodriguez did not even look at him, his eyes were still on her. “So you have not told him who I am?” He laughed. “He still believes that I am Lorenzo?”“Genesis, what is he talking about?” Dante sounded confused and desperat

GENESISGenesis watched the terror in her best friend's eyes grow with each sentence that she spoke. Sara seemed to be even more scared than Genesis whose brother was out to get her.“Look, it's calm.” Genesis tried to assure Sara. “He'll not be able to do anything to me.”That was a blatant lie but Genesis was willing to say anything to calm her friend down.“No, it's not calm. Nothing is calm, Jenny.” Sara shook her head. “Don't you think now's the right time for your so-called help to intervene?”“We don't want to make any sudden moves.” Genesis was still lying. “You saw how everything went down the last time we tried that with my brother.”“Look, I still think we should get Dante and Matthew involved.” Sara suggested. “This situation does not seem to be improving at all. You need people that can take the due steps, Jenny.”“No, no.” Genesis refused. “I've got everything in control.”“But—”“I said everything's under control, Sara.” Genesis sighed. “You don't have to worry.”“Fine…

GENESISIt was a calm evening and she was out on a stroll. Her head had been a lot more peaceful since she decided that she would just let life take its course. Whatever happened, she was going to accept it as her fate.But it did not take too long before her legs got tired and she walked to the nearest roadside bench and sat down. She was still within their estate so there was nobody outside at the time. Usually, most people were already inside their homes at this time.It was windy and she was getting a little bit cold, she regretted her decision to leave her jacket at home. And as she sat there, watching loose pigeons fly and walk around, she wondered what her life would have been like as one of them. Actually, she wished she was one of them. She could not believe that she was at a point where she wished she was born as a freaking pigeon. But who could blame her? All she would have had to worry about was eating and reproducing, not about being kidnapped and forced to be a criminal

GENESISAaron had texted her not too long after breakfast. We wanted them to meet at that cafe again, but she insisted that they meet at a park not too far away from there as the cafe was where Luke had sighted her with Aaron at first. She did not want to take any chances of it happening again in order not to fuel Luke's suspicions.Aaron did not have a problem with meeting at the park so they agreed to meet there by four in the evening, that have her time to make lunch and dinner before it was time to meet him. All the way there, she was hoping with everything in her that he would have good news for her, that he would tell her that there was a way to get rid of her brother forever. At this point, she no longer minded if the plan involved ending her brother's life. He had put her through so much that she did not just care anymore.She parked and called him to find out where exactly in the park he was. Luckily for her, he was by the playing ground that was not too far from the entranc
