Chapter 50: Chapter 50
David has been trying to reach Dante for days but he doesn't pick his calls. His patience had run out so he approached him though he knew of the crisis Carla was facing.
With a gloomy face, Dante came out of an IT company after Kate has been refused to return his calls. He didn't expect to see David.
" What do you want?
" Don't tell me you're having cold feet just because of some crisis" David spoke in sarcasm leaning on his Ferrari car
" I'm no longer interested. Kate is not talking to me anymore. She told me she wanted this. I don't know what he did to her or did he..? He paused with widened eyes thinking Alvin found out about the pregnancy.
" Thanks for your help but I'm not interested if she isn't" David's face darkened.
" I don't suppose you know me Mr. Lorenzo, but I will tell you again. No one wastes my time. I need those proof and you're going to give it to me after you convinced Kate to continue the divorce. Else.. " he paused to smoke a cigar.
" Are you threatening me Mr nobody? Dante asked furiously challenging him man to man.
" You've no idea. Maybe I can help with your sister's company and your law firm or I can tell Alvin you slept with his beautiful hotwife imagine what he'll do to you or should I say Kate" he stopped to watch as his face changed from anger to fright.
' if I were you I would choose my words carefully. Think about it. Have a nice day" he finished about to leave when Dante spoke.
" You can save Carla's company and my firm? Don't joke with me man" he said as a matter of fact . ' no more bullshit from you. Tell me your name' he insisted
" I'm certain. The name is David... David Wilson. ' he paused looking at his confused face.
" I agree. Just fix it and I'll make sure Kate files for the divorce. The problem is that she's not answering my calls"
" You love the girl. You'll think of away. A real man will anyway" with that said he entered his car and left.
Dante stared at the disappearing car and sighed intending to find a way to see Kate. He needed to know she was alright. Perhaps see if she could help them talk to Alvin.
Meanwhile, Carla was sitting in the waiting room hoping to see Alvin. It seemed luck was on her side. She spotted him, Alvin, about to entered the elevator and ran to stop him.
" Mr. Reagan, please hear me out," she said out of breathing which had Alvin squinting his eyes to see the intruder.
" I don't remember inviting you here"
" I know. I came to see you. I need clemency. I promise you, he won't go near her again. He has learned his lesson" he hummed pressing the elevator which opened. He ushered her in while he joined.
' what do you mean Miss Lorenzo" he asked sternly with his hands in his pockets.
"My company is crumbling, it's my family's legacy. Please have mercy on me perhaps we could agree. I don't want to lose my company" she pleaded.
" Now what will that make me? A coward or perhaps a nice man" he said disdainfully facing her.
" I'm begging you, Mr. Reagan. Have Mercy on us. Dante is just a kid. He's blinded by her beauty. Believe me, he's harmless" she tried to be convincing wondering what he'll do when he finds out they slept together.
' I don't go back on my words. Please feel free to start your company again by all means I won't stand in your way. That's the least I could do" he said finally facing the door. She twitched her mouth puffing out some air.
" Thank you, Sir" half a loaf is better than none. She could make it she thought thinking of a way out already.
" I'm really sorry about Dante's motive. This wasn't entirely his fault please pity him" she added
" Noted .tell him to stay away from her. I don't like repeating myself. Next time I won't be lenient" he stated as the elevator stopped.
" I believe that's all Carla. You may leave" she hummed then stepped out while the door closed. She heaved a sigh of relief fanning herself with her hands. It took all her will to talk to him and for once the rumors are true he's gentle but deadly'.
