Brad wakes up the next morning and smiles seeing Aria in his arms. She was cuddling in his chest and he was holding her close in his arms.
"I'll make you fall madly in love with me" whispers Brad and kisses Aria's forehead.
He gets out of the bed and gets a dress and looks around to write a note for Aria.
He writes 'you are my morning sunshine which I loved waking up to. Hope you accept me and my love to you. All yours, Brad'He looks around and sticks it to the bathroom mirror cause it's obvious that she would use the bathroom the first thing she wakes up.
He comes out of the bathroom and looks at the time. It was at 6 am. He approaches Aria and smiles looking at her sleeping.
He kisses her forehead and leaves.
Brad walks down the stairs and towards the entrance and opens the entrance door by pressing the code.
He walks out and leaves the mansion in his Lamborghini.Arlo was awake and in the living room getting ready to leave for the gym when he saw Brad leave. Brad had a smile on his face and when he saw Brad press the code he immediately called Joshua."F.u.c.k, he was there when I installed the codes. He was the one who helped me in it" says Joshua.
"Anyone else knows about it?" Asks Arlo.
"No. I don't think so but to be on a safer side. I'll change it" says Joshua.
"Joshua, I want to tell you one thing. I love my daughter and if Brad is not serious about her and is just playing around I would want him to stop. You, Mia and Brad, are part of our family and for some few second affair, I don't want our relationship to go sour. I would want you to talk to him to not do anything that would make him face my anger" says Arlo.
"Both are a.d.u.l.ts who can make decisions for themselves. And I know my son, he wouldn't just play around" says Joshua.
"I know him too, I guess we can only wait and watch," says Arlo.
"I guess. And I'll get into changing the codes immediately" says Joshua and both hang up the call.Aria was all smiles seeing Brad's message.
She called him immediately.
"Hello beautiful, miss me already?" Says Brad.
"Don't be all smart, okay? And why did you leave?" Asks Aria.
"And stay to have breakfast with your parents? Not yet sweetheart. Let me court you first" says Brad.
"Who is giving you lessons on being this charming?" Asks Aria smiling.
"It comes naturally. I am a charmer by birth" says Brad.
"So who is it?" Asks Aria.
"Enrique. He is the only Devonte who is close to normal" says Brad and Aria bust out laughing.
"By the way, he doesn't know it's you who I am trying to impress," says Brad.
"What else has he thought you?" Asks Aria.
"You will know soon. But first, let's have dinner at my place and you missy are staying at my place tonight" says Brad.
"I don't like to be ordered on," says Aria.
"Oh sorry. Please stay with me?" Says Brad.
Aria smiles and says "good boy. Be an obedient boy too and mummy will reward you"
"F.u.c.k," says Brad.
"Did your d.i.c.k twitch listening to my words?" Asks Aria.
Brad gulps down and says "yes"
"Good. Cause if we are going to do this. We need rules" says Aria.
"Okay... Mummy" says Brad and adjusts his pants.
"This will be fun," says Aria and hangs up the phone.
.............Ivanov enters Elisio's office and sits in front of him.
"Why did you want to meet me?" Asks Elisio.
"I want some advice," says Ivanov.
"Is it about the Johnson girl or that nanny?" Asks Elisio.
Ivanov laughs and says "as usual you are prepared for the smallest of meeting."Elisio looks at Ivanov with all the seriousness and says "have I failed training you boy? Or have I failed to judge you for being capable of doing business?"
Ivanov was taken back from what Elisio said.
"You have been sleeping with that Johnson's daughter knowing very well they are candidates to go into partners with us. How do you think this reflects us and our project. I have made it a rule to never mix business with pleasure and you go getting engaged with that girl after you visited Boston one time. What if the Johnson's were the best candidates and we accept their proposal. What do you think our other business colleagues would say?" Asks Elisio.
Ivanov knew where Elisio was going with this.
"I wouldn't want to spoil the company's name cause you couldn't keep it in your pants. So..." Starts Elisio but Ivanov stands up and says "no. Please. Don't take me off this project. I have worked very hard for this. I have put down a presentation to its last details. I have all the information about all the candidates and have not shared single information with anyone. I swear."
"I know you are working hard on this. I don't doubt you on that" says Elisio.
"Then let me fix this," says Ivanov with pleading eyes.
"Fine. In less than two weeks we have to announce who gets to be our partner. And you have five days to get all your presentation together and fix your personal problems, understand?" Says Elisio with his famous emotionless face.
"Okay," says Ivanov and then turns back when Elisio's secretary opens the door and Sabrina comes in.Sabrina looks at the secretary and narrows her eyes.
"I have told you so many times to tell me if he is in a meeting. I can always wait" says Sabrina to the secretary.
"And lose my job. Please, I am renovating my house now that all my kids are out of the house. I need this job" says the secretary.
"You have children?" Asks Elisio to the secretary.
"Yes, Mr Devonte. I have three" says the secretary and smiles at Sabrina who whispers "sorry".
"He pays well and has never tried anything on me. So I am good" says the secretary and leaves."I can't believe you didn't know she had kids. She is been working for you for almost 20 yrs" says Sabrina.
"How is that information any good for me?" Asks Elisio.
Sabrina shakes her head disappointed and looks at Ivanov and smiles.
"Elisio says you are doing an excellent job on some very big project. We are very proud of you" says Sabrina.
"Fiore" calls Elisio.
"Oh come on Elisio. Kids should know that their hard work is being appreciated" says Sabrina and kisses Ivanov's forehead while he was seated on the chair and says "may God bless you with all the success of the world"Ivanov hugs Sabrina's waist and says "thank you mummy"
"Keep your hands off my wife," says Elisio and Ivanov laughs and lets go of Sabrina.
"By the way. We all women in the mansion just love violet. Just letting you know. We already consider her part of the family. Just letting you know. And we don't like Jessica. Again just letting you know on behalf of our Devonte women's club." says Sabrina.
"Aren't you a cute cupid?" says Ivanov and looks at Elisio and looks back at Sabina and smirks.
He hugs Sabrina tight and kisses her cheek and almost runs away from Elisio's office while Elisio was screaming at him.
"They are just kids Elisio" laughs Sabrina.
"But why do they have to touch you and oh god kiss you," says Elisio and takes out a wet wipe and wipes Sabrina's cheek.
Sabrina kisses Elisio's lips and says "no one kisses my lips except you"
"If they want to stay alive they won't," says Elisio and Sabrina says "I love you my possessive Elisio"
"You should fiore," says Elisio and kisses Sabrina on her lips.
..............Ivanov met Nevio and started working on the presentation and avoiding Jessica.
"This information about the Johnson's is new," says Nevio and looks at Ivanov and continues "did your girlfriend talk about the project ever?"
"No. But she feels like a forced girlfriend. Now that I think of it I think the pictures that leaked to the tabloids maybe was a set up" says Ivanov.
"If you even have the slightest doubt then why are you with her?" Asks Nevio.
"I tried breaking up with her but it's so hard when she..." says Ivanov and stops.
"You don't have decipline boy. I suggest jerk off few times before meeting her" says Nevio and Ivanov did just that.
......"You can't break up like that with me. Not so soon" says Jessica.
"Then when do we breakup? After you convince me to give your stepfather the contract? I know all your background now Jessica. All your father's assets are at the bank and all that extra money was all fake promises. Do you think you could f.u.c.k me and I'll just hand over the contract to you guys. Think again" says Ivanov.
"Ivanov you don't understand. We need this. Only by our names together has given dad a lot of opportunities to make business" says Jessica.
"Look I don't care about you or your father. We can't be together anymore. The announcement is soon and I have to concentrate on that. I will release a statement soon saying we are not together anymore. Goodbye Jessica" says Ivanov and was about to walk away when she says "you can't do this Ivanov and get away with it. I will get what I want. That contract is ours and you will sign it to us"
Ivanov looks at Jessica and says "good luck trying to make be do it" and walks away.
Jessica smirks looking at Ivanov's retrieving back.
