Tales Of Love

Santiago stared at them, his countenance was not friendly. CEO Diego simply ignored him and stepped in followed by his wife and daughter.

Palmer hurried her steps to stop Santiago from making an irrational decision and saw the Diego parents and daughter came in. She paused and stared at them with a sneer. What was she supposed to say to these sets of human beings?.

“Stop Santiago,” Palmer ordered him. Santiago was already at the threshold. He stopped walking but didn’t look back. He was not ready to banter words with CEO Caden or come to a compromise on what he had said earlier.

“Are you really going to give up the position of the President than to follow your grandfather’s orders?” Palmer asked. She was acting as the intermediary between her Son and her father in law.

A woman always finds herself in this kind of situation. When she has to choose between her child and her husband or a close family that she might not want to offend.

“Mum, you need to take care of yourself. I will be returning back to the US tomorrow as soon as I am through with grandfather” Santiago said and strode off.

He needed a break and now, he’s getting it on the platter of gold. He needs to concentrate on finding Aurora.

Palmer’s eyes became moist. She was going to miss her son. If her son relinquishes the position of the President, it’s nothing to be compared to Santiago staying away from her. He might not return for years or only come back if he heard she’s dead.

First, she lost her husband and now her Son is leaving for America. Her life was falling apart before her very eyes and she couldn’t do anything about it . All because of this stupid daughter of the Diego.

CEO Caden and his family were surprised at Santiago’s words. Was he really going to leave Florence City? Did his leaving have anything to do with what happened that day? They hope not.

“We are here to express our displeasure over what President Axel said earlier. We are Diego and have our reputation to protect as well as the future of our children and our unborn generations…” Tola Diego was going to continue her blabbering but Palmer cut her off.

“Cut the crap Tola. What are you even saying? What right do you have to feel displeased huh, tell me? If your daughter didn’t get jobless and goes about to publicize herself cheaply would Santiago have done what he did?” Palmer snapped at her. She was at the climax of her anger and Tola brought her daughter here to talk nonsense.

Tola shrugged and looked away. She has no words to counter Palmer so the best thing to do was to be quiet or change the topic of contention.

“Eve Diego is Santiago’s fiancee. It was not her choice to make but her and Santiago’s grandfathers have arranged it for them. Are you now going to go back on your promise to her late grandfather?” Tola Diego said with a feigned annoyance .

She was trying to make the Axel’s feel unfilial to them. She wants them to feel as if they have no option than to accept their daughter. She wants them to feel as if they were owing them.

“She used to be Tola, but no more! Santiago himself said it. Are you going to force your daughter on my son? Don’t you want them to be happy for the rest of their lives? This arranged marriage…”Palmer was pouring out her heart.

She wasn’t going to stand here and watch Tola try to shift her daughter’s irresponsible attitude on them but her father in law interrupted her.

“Palmer!!” grandfather Axel said with a tone which meant he’s not satisfied with her way of handling the matter. He walked to them Supporting himself with his staff. Palmer was indirectly Supporting her Son.

“Caden sit down” grandfather Axel said as he motioned for them all to sit. He took a seat himself before Palmer finally sat down and crossed her legs.

Grandfather Axel cleared his throat before saying ” I was the one who promised your father that I will get my grandson engaged to his granddaughter.

Two times the engagement would have taken place but something would happen and it would not take place. After today’s news on the Internet, I finally understand that the two cannot be together.

I threatened my grandson with the position of the President but to my greatest surprise he gave it up rather than get engaged to your daughter. I am Sure you heard what he said last before leaving?”grandfather Axel said and looked at their faces.

The Diego’s were feeling uneasy with what the man said. Is he really saying what Santiago said was going to stand?

Meanwhile the old man continued “And I am glad you three are here. I can’t force my grandson about getting along with Eve, your daughter, but I can assure you of our continued partnership.

I don’t forget your favors and I am ready to compensate you. Just say what you want?” Old man Axel concluded. That’s the least he can do. They will remain partners and he will compensate them for his grandson’s refusal to marry their daughter.

CEO Caden was pleased with what old man Axel said. He was going to accept it that way and as for the compensation, he will ask them to keep it for a future favor. That was exactly what Caden Diego said and the matter was settled.

Eve Diego was not happy how it ended. Her father has always been a coward, he should have gotten even with them for breaking their promise to them but instead he simply accepted what the old hag said.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

He should have asked for at least 30% shares of the Axel business as compensation but said he reserved it for a future favor. This is nonsense, absolute senselessness.

Eve Diego started sniffing. Her eyes were red. Not that she loved Santiago, in fact she has no feelings for him but the pride of being referred to as the young madam of the Axel Family was what she’s after.

Her mother gave her a side embrace and patted her back. Palmer watched them with a sneer and turned her face away.

Tola was angry with Palmer’s nonchalant attitude towards her daughter’s present state. She should at least say something nice to her and apologize on behalf of her Son’s disrespectful words to her.

It was her fault, she should have actually poisoned her to death when she had the chance and not to have only aroused an allergic reaction on her.

The Diego’s went away and there was great serenity in the Axel’s manor.

Santiago returned back to the company. But instead of going back to work he started sorting some files.

Jasper Milo was Surprised at his actions but he couldn’t ask him why. Santiago’s eyes were red and gave out a compressed aura.

He didn’t know the outcome of his meeting with his grandfather but knew something unpleasant had happened or was said to Santiago.

He ordered him to tell the publicity unit that everyone was to wait for a brief party to welcome Grey that day. He emphasized that it has to be that day. Jasper Milo did as he was instructed.

They had hardly gotten home when Tola started scolding her husband…
