Seed of Possession

Lorenzo Monteverde the son of Raul Monteverde the eldest son of Perol Monteverde. After losing his father to the battle of succession. He became the President of Zemor Entertainment, one of the companies of Monteverde’s. Lorenzo is one of the strongest competitors of Xander. Because he is not only the son of the eldest but he is the most favoured one among the grandchildren of Perol. The Head of the Monteverde household, Perol Monteverde. Really doted on Lorenzo because Lorenzo has a similar features of his late wife Anastasia. Everytime he smiles, He see the face of his wife smiling at him.

Tonight Lorenzo came to his grandfather’s mansion. To ask the true meaning about his rules to the battle of succession. The only thing clear to him is that he should have a child and it shouldn’t be a child in wedlock. Lorenzo has been married for 10 years and he doesn’t have any problem in terms of having a child because he already has 3 children from her wife. He should be the winner right now because he is the one who has a child but the thing is there is a rule that he can’t understand.

‘ The child must be beautiful ‘

He doesn’t know the meaning of those words? Does the child have to be physically attractive ? He really can’t understand what’s running to his Grandfather head. Tonight Lorenzo calls his closest relatives to have a meeting with their Grandfather, Even though they are all competing for the inheritance, they all have one thing in common. They all don’t want Xander to win the battle of succession.

” Are we all complete?” Lorenzo asked as he stood up from sitting to the expensive red gold chair in the drawing room.

” Yes, We are all here ” One of his cousins answers, which makes him nod his head.

” We can go now, Grandfather is surely waiting for us at his office,” Lorenzo said in a friendly tone. He led the way to his Grandfather office. His head was held high and he walked with full confidence but there is still a hint of friendliness to his aura that makes the people around him deceive him.

Lorenzo stops in front of the head butler of the mansion that is standing in the front of the office that is obviously waiting for them.

” Raulo, Tell our beloved Grandfather that his beloved grandchildren are here outside of his office” Lorenzo genuinely said.

Raulo the headbutler just fixes his eyeglasses before he knocks on the door three times before he enters.

Lorenzo looked at his relatives with a victorious smile on his face. After a minute Lorenzo and the others went inside the office of their Grandfather.

” Good Evening Grandpa” Lorenzo comfortably greeted as he walked towards his Grandpa while smiling and giving him a great big hug. Perol happily accepted the hug from his favorite Grandson Lorenzo.

” Why are you here?” Perol happily asks as he moves away from his Grandson.

” Am I not allowed to visit my favorite person in the world?” Lorenzo sweetly said that makes Perol be Gullible to his Grandson.

” Sit down, I will prepare a cup of tea for you and” Perol stops as he looks at his other Grandchildren with a stoic look. ” And also for them” He continues.

Lorenzo just smiles as he looks back on his other relatives before he walks towards them. He proudly shows them that he is the most favoured one and he is the most likely to win the battle of succession.

The relatives just clench their fist as if they’re trying to contain their envy from this man. Since they were young they see the visible favouritism among them. Lorenzo always got the beautiful things and technology from their Grandfather and he also received all of the love from him. Even though they team up to get Xander out of the picture, they still have a hidden desire to get rid of Lorenzo from the picture.

Their bodies became stiff except Lorenzo when their Grandfather joined them. Perol had a reputation of being strict and being hot headed. That is the reason why the other Grandchildren except Lorenzo and Xander, hate to be with him. But now, They need to win the favor of this old man to get an inheritance even if they didn’t win in the battle of succession.

” Now tell me, Why are you all here? Why do you visit this old man in the middle of the night? All participants in the battle of succession are here except for Xander. I guess you kicked him out from the start.” Perol bluntly said that makes them gulp out of nervousness. Lorenzo just chuckled because of what his Grandfather said. He immediately reached the kettle and poured a hot cup of tea in his Grandfather cup.

Perol just coughs because of what Lorenzo did to him. He is moved by his actions. Small things make his heart flutter.

” Grandpa, You know that Xander is just busy and we don’t want to disturb him. As we all know his company is getting bigger these days.” Lorenzo lied to Perol.

” Y-yes, Grandfather. We just want him to focus on his work” Rolen said one of Grandson of Perol in his 2nd born daughter.

” Is that so? Then why are you all here? What do you want from me?” He bluntly asks as he reaches the cup of tea that Lorenzo poured for him.

” Well, Grandpa. About the rules of the game. There is a certain rule that we didn’t understand. We want you to explain this to us.” Lorenzo said that nodded by others.

” Hmmmm” Perol moaned as he put down the tea cup and leaned on his chair.

” You know that it’s prohibited to tell the meaning of every rule in the game. The game was played in our family for hundred years to search for a rightful owner of our fortune. Before It’s just treasure but now it’s companies “Perol calmly explained as he put his hands under his chin.

” Grandpa, Can you just give us a clue? Please” Lorenzo persuade his Grandfather. But Perol fight the temptation to spill the secret of their family.

” NO! That’s my final answer. Let’s just see each other again at the next family dinner” Perol announced before he stood up and gave a sign to Raulo to bring the guest outside his office.

” Excuse me, Please leave the office” Raulo politely asked as he bowed his head and gestured his hand.

Lorenzo just sighs because of what Grandfather did. ” Okay, Grandpa. See you at the next family dinner” Lorenzo said before he gave a hug to his Grandpa.

Lorenzo and the others quietly left the room with disappointment in their mind.

XANDER is just standing outside the door of the office of his Grandfather. Secretly listening to their conversations. A smirk formed into his lips when he heard what his Grandfather said to them.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

” What a Pathetic loser” He mumbled as he walked a little away from the door and waited for his lovely cousin to walk outwards to the Office.

As soon as he sees them walking outwards the office. Xander gives them a slow clap and an annoying grin that makes them hate him more.

” What a waste!” He said while slow clapping. Lorenzo just laugh a little bit out of annoyance because of what Xander is doing to them.

‘ Humiliation ‘

” Xander, we didn’t know that you’re here? Do you want to meet Grandpa inside? But it’s sad that he will never let you see your face alone” Lorenzo mockingly said that makes Xander smirk.

” No, I don’t have any plans to meet him tonight. But seeing all of you. Didn’t get what you want makes my heart flutter” He answered in a mocking tone.

” Mock us Xander, Let’s see who will be the one laughing at the end” Lorenzo fiercely said before he walked out from the situation. All of the cousins immediately followed Lorenzo and left Xander alone.

” What a bunch of idiots” Xander murmured as he meaningfully looked at Raulo the Head butler of his Grandfather and one of his hidden spies in the mansion.
