Tales Of Love

Santiago had been away from Florence City for three months. He went to plant a branch of the Axel group in St Petersburg.

When he returned, he went to the old manor to see his grandfather and gave him the report of his stay in St Petersburg.

The company was still small and would need to have more clients and connections to grow quickly.

A CEO has been appointed and given a target to see the company grow quickly within a year.

When grandpa Axel heard Santiago’s words, he was pleased. His grandson was capable. He knew the Axel group was going to excel in Santiago’s hands.

The latter had an uncle based in Australia. When his father died of a heart disease, his uncle came over to Florence City to take over the Axel business group.

Within two years of handling the Axel group, everything was at the verge of collapse. They lost a lot of their clients and many shareholders were withdrawing their shares.

Uncle Jerry simply felt unaffected by the crisis. All he cared about was diverting the fund and enriching himself and his son privately.

Santiago was through with his studies at the time but remained in America. He wanted to remain there and find a decent job but his grandfather summoned him.

His grandfather had watched his company almost collapse until his good friend the then CEO of Diego group came to its rescue.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

That was what propelled him to make the promise of getting his grandson engaged to his granddaughter. He was not going to watch his company collapse under the weak administration of his Son Jerry Axel.

That was when Santiago came and his grandfather made him take over from his uncle. Jerry Axel was very furious with his father for making his nephew take over from him.

Does it mean he always preferred his late brother and his Son to him. When grandpa Axel looked back to the right decision he took in making Santiago the CEO of the Axel group, he had no regrets.

He shook hands with Santiago and told him to wait for dinner. He wanted to refuse but his grandfather insisted saying his mother and sister have both missed him.

He then reluctantly agreed. After dinner, his grandfather asked him what his plans were towards his engagement to Eve Diego?.

The engagement couldn’t be held that day because Eve Diego had an accident. His grandfather coaxed him further by saying he was 30 years already and should have fathered a child at his age.

Santiago’s expression became fierce.

His eyes turned red and the vein on his forehead popped out. When his grandfather saw it, he regretted soiling the peaceful moments they were enjoying.

Santiago never came to the old manor again after that incident with Aurora. He doesn’t even talk about it and when his engagement to Eve Diego didn’t hold, he never said anything about it.

“Santiago, father doesn’t mean to say things to hurt you. He was only concerned about you”Palmer said.

She felt the atmosphere become tense after what her father in-law said. Santiago’s complexion looked ashen.

His grandfather had pierced his wounded heart. He was still suffering from the wound of Aurora’s disappearance.

She suddenly vanished into thin air with his unborn baby. He had turned the whole country upside down searching for her and still didn’t find her.

He was hurting deeply and his grandfather had reminded him of his wounds.”What kind of a concern was that, mother? You all witnessed what happened to Aurora, right?

She was framed. She went to jail for murdering someone who never died. She said she poisoned you but in reality she didn’t.

Do you care to know why she chose to confess to things she didn’t do? Do you even know that she was pregnant with my child while in jail?

And my engagement to that stupid daughter of the Diego family is what is so important to you all.

If Aurora was your daughter would you choose to forget her like that?” Santiago said and simply stood up and walked away.

Everyone was speechless.

Grandfather Axel watched the retreating back view of his grandson and knew he was still hurting for Aurora. Will he ever be able to overcome his present state and love someone else?

He didn’t know Aurora was indeed pregnant with his great grandchild. Had he known, he would not have allowed her to be jailed.

Palmer’s eyes were deeply introverted. Santiago was right. If something like what happened to Aurora happened to her daughter Mira, would she be able to be this peaceful?

Santiago drove around the city until it became dark. He doesn’t feel like going home. He ended up in front of Mrs Logan’s apartment.
