Chapter 4 - 3

"You know I can walk. I hurt my head not my legs" said Sabrina.

"Now why would I miss an opportunity to be close to my fiore," said Elisio carrying Sabrina to their room.

He placed her on the bed and said "I'll tell Mia to send someone to look at your wound"

Sabrina nodded.

Elisio smiled and sat next to her and pulled her to a kiss.

"Still my obedient perfect wife. I love you Mio Fiore. And I promise to be nice to Ermanno." Said Elisio.

Sabrina smiled and said "I love you Elisio. And I love him too"

"We really shouldn't have had one. It only divided your love for me" said Elisio.

Sabrina giggled and said "Aanhaan"

Elisio came down the stairs and walked out of the mansion and saw Ermanno getting into his car.

He told his driver to bring his car to the office and went near Ermanno's car and sat in the passenger seat.

Ermanno looked at Elisio confused.

"We need to talk," said Elisio.

Ermanno nodded and turned his car on and drove off.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Asked Ermanno.

"I thought you were some kind of genius. Couldn't figure out what I want to talk about?" said Elisio.

Ermanno huffed and said "what have I ever done so wrong that you hate me so much? I have created a master computer which controls every f.u.c.k.i.n.g minor to major computer around every single company we own and makes calculations of our profits and losses without any mistakes. We haven't had any hackers who can hack into our computers. Everything is well organised and all the work is efficiently done. And the computer assigns work to the workers and employees. I and Brad are a self-made millionaire. We were awarded multiple awards for our contribution to the business world. And Brad was awarded as the one of a youngest self-made millionaire. What else should I do for you to be nice to me?"

"I am proud of you to have achieved all that. But look at yourself boy. You may have drowned yourself in work. But you are also drowning yourself in alcohol and drugs. What are you, trying to balance your acts?" Asked Elisio.

"Dad you don't know how it feels to lose a girl you thought you could spend your life with your child," said Ermanno.

"Trust me boy I know the feeling," said Elisio.

"What do you mean?" Asked Ermanno.

"I'll tell that some other day. But right now I want you to get your act together." Said Elisio.

"I will dad. I love mom too much to hurt her." Said Ermanno parking his car in front of Devonte corporate building.

"Good," said Elisio and got out of the car and walked into the building.

Ermanno gave his key to the valet and followed him behind.

Joshua was Elisio's and Sabrina's bodyguard. He is now the head of all the security for the whole Devonte security from personal security to each Devonte to the security of their properties. His wife, Mia was Sabrina's nurse but now has finished her PhD and is a doctor.

Brad, Joshua and Mia's only son is a genius in his own way. He is super smart with computers and joined Ermanno at the age of 16 and they worked together to create a master computer which bought them millions of dollars and a name for themselves.

Ermanno worked independently with Brad as his partner and created a separate company but there master computer is installed in the Devonte headcounters.

Elisio and Ermanno walked inside the building and everyone looked at the son and father duo and stepped back a little, too scared to deal with the scary Devonte.

Today morning was a meeting with all the board members and high ranked employees to discuss the progress of Ermanno's supercomputer and annual progress of the company.

Elisio and Ermanno took the elevator to the tenth floor where the meeting was to happen and when the elevator opened to the tenth floor they both saw Joshua scolding his son Brad and Brad was looking down and scratching the back of his neck.

Elisio approaches Joshua and asks him what was wrong.

"I mean look at him boss. Is this how you dress up for a board meeting? A t-shirt and jeans. Really?" Said Joshua.

"Relax Josh he is only 20. Of course, he will dress like that. I know a certain 26-year-old who doesn't own a suit to dress for a board meeting." Said Elisio.

"Wow. You are on fire today dad." Said Ermanno.

"You make it very easy boy," said Elisio.

Ermanno then looked at Brad and said "not a great day for sons"

They all walked into the board room and saw everyone coming in one by one.

Elisio approached Enrique, Isaiah's son and said "now this is how you dress to impress"

Enrique looked at Ermanno and said "sorry"

"Na. You are like a son dad didn't have" said Ermanno.

"Ya. He got better" said Enrique and patted Ermanno's shoulder.

"God, can't even hate you. You are too perfect." Said Ermanno.

"No one is perfect. It's how hard you work for it that shows" said Enrique.

"I think I fell asleep a little," said Brad and started laughing but stopped laughing when Joshua gave him a strict look.

The board members included all Elisio's three brothers, Elisio's friend Bruce and his father.

Elisio was the chairman of Devonte group of companies and Enrique was the CEO of the company.

After Ermanno showed no interest in inheriting the company Elisio named Enrique as his successor and Enrique had proved himself well to deserve it.

He was married to Ruby, Bruce's daughter and is blessed with a 4-year-old son.

The board members sat on the table with their assistance behind them.

Bruce had come into the meeting with his son Remy who was training under Bruce.

Remy sat behind Bruce as his assistant.

So did Ivanov, Isaiah's youngest son sat behind Isaiah.

Julius, Nevio's son was the COO of the company and sat next to Enrique.
