Chapter 246 - A banquet

last update Last Updated: 2022-12-17 20:20:50

A few weeks later, Rose and Lester were under the impression that they had won.

Leonardo had signed everything that they had brought in front of him.

Lester ran into some issues with notarizing the transfer documents. Rose wasn't aware she had to do so.

But otherwise, they were both living in their pink bubble.

They received an invitation from the founder of L&L Enterprise.

L&L Enterprise was a relatively new company. But like L&L Designs, it had taken the business world by storm.

Thankfully, for Lester's sanity, the two companies were unrelated.

It was a great privilege to be invited to a banquet hosted by L&L Enterprise.

Moreover, Lester's invitation specified - wife and kids - it was a high honor.

Having their entire family invited was very shocking but pleasantly so.

Lester called Leonardo and ordered Leonardo to get ready on that day. He wanted to go as a family of four, but Leonardo dismissed him.

He indifferently said, “I will see you there. Send me a copy of the invitation.”

    After Jonathan and Liliana were seated on the high platform on the first floor, the host began.He formally welcomed everyone to the banquet and added something which made everyone curious.“I would like to apologize for having gathered everyone under the ruse of L&L Enterprise while the agenda is a little more than just that.”“As much as I would love to spill secrets here, I am oblivious to the main agenda, so without further ado, let me start as I am curious about how the events would unfold.”“I know no one here has seen the CEO of L&L Enterprise. As it happens, he is not quite himself just yet. He had undertaken an exemplary challenge, and it’s time it came to fruition.”“Allow me to welcome Mrs. Paula Grint, the Managing Director of the Cancer Institute of P City, who will further introduce the founder and CEO of L&L Enterprise.”All the guests began to applaud in confusion.Most of them knew Paula Grint as she had run several charity events to raise funds for the Cancer Institu

    Leonardo made his way to the platform where Paula Grint was applauding him.He held her hand and kissed her knuckles in the classical gentlemanly manner.“Thank you for doing this, Paula. I owe you one.” He said quietly.“Oh! I stopped counting how many I owe you. Don’t make a fuss.” She rolled her eyes good-naturedly.Leonardo only smiled and did not say anything.He sat on a stool, and the barber cut his hair and beard within fifteen minutes.When he cleaned up, he thanked the barber and bowed toward where Liliana was seated.She gave him a nod, and Leonardo began to speak.“First of all, thank you for coming here.”He gestured toward the mansion and added.“As the veterans might already know, this is the Petrova family mansion, and only the Petrova heir is allowed to host a banquet here.”He looked back at Liliana and said, “Thank you, sis. I could not have asked for a better welcome home present.”Leonardo turned around and stood still before he started his speech seriously.“I am

    After the noise died down, Leonardo continued.“My name is Leonardo Petrova. I do not claim to know what the Petrova lineage signifies. To me, it has always meant privilege and responsibility. It is 300 years of legacy.”“But most importantly, it means that one person who means the world to me.”“My grandparents - Leon Petrova and Katherine Green, passed away before I was born. My mother, Anne Petrova, passed away while giving birth to me. I spent the first few months of my life in an incubator.”“When I got discharged, I was left in the capable hands of my elder sister - the Petrova heir - Liliana Petrova.”“Oh, well, she is now, Liliana Petrova Smith.”“My sister is my everything - my mother who loved me unconditionally and imbibed me with culture and principles. She is my father who protected and sheltered me, yet trained me, tempered me, and raised me to become capable of standing on my own.”“She is my guide, mentor, first teacher, muse, and inspiration to strive for better.

    Liliana looked at the crowd that had stood up in honor of the Petrova lineage and slightly bowed back courteously.“Please be seated, everyone. I am already very honored by your presence.” She said matter of factly.“We invited everyone over to celebrate the return of my brother. P city is our home, and historically it has been the place where for generations, we Petrova’s have toiled our blood and sweat.”“From the protectors of P city to the primary drivers of its economy, knowledge, and independence, as a family, we have always been closely integrated here.”“My Grandfather named me his heir when I was five. In an unprecedented move, he passed over my mother - his only child, the apple of his eye.”“I was too young to know what it meant. I only remember bits and pieces of it.”“One thing, however, I have always remembered. Even though I did not understand it fully as a child, it struck a chord and always stayed with me.”“He told me that in P city, the word ‘Petrova’ means power, p

    Terry greeted everyone and thanked Liliana for the opportunity to give back to society.He explained the Green Field orphanage project in detail.The Green Friend orphanage was one of its kind for several reasons.The building was built on wasteland-turned-fertile land before the authorities declared it liveable for children.It used only clean and green energy and products.Terry explained how everything went with the energy plant the Smith Group was planning that created electricity and gas from waste.Each minute that passed by made Lester feel smaller.He was shrinking, and his hatred for Liliana intensified.He could not believe how she had lured away Leonardo from under his nose.Rose was still in limbo, unable to figure out what was happening.Lydia was dying of jealousy.People around them kept chattering about Liliana, and she couldn't take it any longer.‘Why was that bitch so lucky?’‘Why does everyone praise her?’Jonathan kept a low profile and escorted Liliana everywhere

    Lester tried several times to get close to either Liliana or Leonardo. But each time, his efforts were thwarted by others.Rose was not faring any better. She could tell the people were coming her way deliberately, but she had no proof.Lydia was increasingly angry, but Rose kept a lid on her temper. They could not afford to make themselves look uncultured in such a company.On the other hand, Liliana and Jonathan flitted around the venue introducing Leonardo to everyone.They stopped close to two women, and Liliana continued the introductions.“Brother, meet Mrs. Cadewell. Her management of Cadewell Textile is very commendable. You should learn from her.”“And this is Miss Jessica. She got married half a year ago. But she is still maintaining her husband’s anonymity. I envy you.” She joked and added, “That’s an impossible feat for someone as successful. Try to emulate that.”“Lovely ladies, this is Leonardo. He is still young. Please guide him.”Leonardo greeted them both and said af

    Lester finally managed to get hold of Liliana and Leonardo in the buffet.“Leonardo, I have something to discuss with you,” Lester authoritatively added.Liliana told her assistant to escort them to a private room for an audience.Reluctant and angered, Lester, Rose, and Lydia still followed Alice. They wanted to talk to Leonardo, and this was the only way.It was Liliana’s turf, and she had made it clear that she was unapproachable.“How dare she treat us like this? That bloody servant!” Lydia roared.As soon as they were on their own, Lydia began to rant.The anger they had suppressed the entire evening and reluctance to admit what they had seen spilled forward.“What was that bitch saying about Leonardo being her sibling?” Rose asked.Lester took a deep breath and replied with gritted teeth. “They don’t know the truth.”“This works in our favor. Leonardo can ask for his inheritance.” Lester added.Rose wasn’t reconciled with the events that evening. “Did you know about this mansion

    The butler escorted Lester, Rose, and Lydia to the hall.Liliana, Leonardo, and Jonathan were seated on the high platform. Mariana and James were behind them.The butler gestured to Lester and the others to sit below the platform in general seats.Lester was fuming.Before he could speak, the butler handed him a parcel.“Mr. Aprice, please accept your parting gift. Our mistress has prepared it personally. I hope you will like it.”Lester had no choice but to open it.The evening had been proof that he had to play according to Liliana’s tunes. He begrudgingly opened the parcel, and his jaw nearly dropped.“What’s the meaning of this?” He snarled.But everyone could see his voice had equal fear and anger. Liliana blinked her eyes and played innocent.“Why? I am giving you what you have always wanted.”“This was mine, to begin with.” Lester snapped.Liliana cocked her head. “Is it now?”“As far as I can recall, Apriice Group was formerly the Petrova factory. Are you a Petrova?”“No. Hen

    Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so

    Liam took a while before he braced himself for the next part.“My mother thought my father was cheating on her with Aunty Keira.”“My father kept everything about Aunty Keira a secret because he hadn’t identified all the people on the inside who worked for him. So for her safety, he dealt with everything directly. He had created a fake ID and passport for her for an emergency. If she ran into any trouble, or if he died, then she could flee and settle down abroad.”“My mother thought he was planning to elope with her. She went after him when he had sneaked out, and she took photos. The next day, she posted all those photos in the newspaper calling Aunty Keira a bad person for flirting with a married army man and ruining a military marriage.”“Naturally, everyone found out, and the bad people captured and bullied Aunt Keira.”“The plan was almost complete. As per military protocols, my father had to prioritize the mission. My father had the last bits of information in place. So he hasti

    Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”Kyle nodded.“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions - so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My Grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force - Police and Military - lost their

    Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she glared back at him.“How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, you come to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”“Look at how filthy you have become! Is this how you plan to set an example for your siblings?”Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.Liliana exclaimed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo - that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with

    James remained unperturbed and laughed.He added when he had calmed down.“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.‘Good for Jacob!’‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’James continued his ramble.“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss

    Jonathan and Liliana stopped talking and embraced each other while lying quietly on the bed.Jonathan was about to drift asleep when Liliana spoke.“Do you still want to have another child?”He was stunned and sat up immediately.“What do you mean?”She turned around and asked, “Well, you never brought it up since we talked about it half a year ago.”He couldn’t understand what she was getting at. He asked, “So?”She mumbled, “I just think it is the right time, and maybe we should try. I will turn thirty soon, and it might cause complications.”He asked, “I still don’t know what you are trying to say.”She rolled her eyes and asked, “I want to know if you still want another child. It’s been half a year since we started living together. What do you think? Are you ready?
