The Billionaire's Ex-wife Revenge

Chapter4

Amelia's pov

My mind was not on what the children were asking Edward. They were asking him questions and he was answering them.

"Ma'am, we are here already". I looked for the children in the car but didn't see them. "They are outside," Edward said as he saw my panicked look.

The children's mouths were wide open staring in front of them. I looked in the direction they were looking and was bewildered. In front of me was a beautiful mansion. The biggest I have ever seen.

"This is like a palace," I heard Isabella say. I must agree with her. They all ran inside, pushing open the door. I turned to ask Edward to lead the way, but he was gone.

Weird. I thought as I followed the kids. My jaw almost hit the ground when I took in the sight inside. The house was white. On the walls were portraits of family pictures and artworks.

I got closer to a family picture and my eyes widened in shock. I was staring at myself holding a baby. "That is Hazel Lorenzo Romano, your mother," A voice said behind me, making me jump.

I turned and saw an old man. He had a friendly smile and was with a walking stick. "You are the baby in the picture, Rose Romano."

"But-" I was saying and he interrupted me. "You are my Rose, I held you in my hands first when you were born" Tears rolled down his eyes. I went to him and hugged him.

I felt a father's love for the first time in my life. I felt peace and calm. "You are my Rose," he kept saying. I led him to a couch.

"You are a great mother just like your mother, your children are amazing," he said looking at me admirably.

"Where are they?" I didn't notice them when I came in. "They are safe", that was all he said and I trusted him.

"Your parents died on your second birthday, and you went missing. Reports came to me that you had died, but I knew you did not die. If you had died I would have found the Romano locket"

"Romano locket?" I asked. "Yes, the locket has Romano on it and inside was your family picture. Your father made it for you." I touched the locket on my neck.

It has always been with me since I can remember. I was given my surname from the name on the locket.

"I have the locket". I took it out. He nodded. "I know, I was able to track you from the locket." I was confused.

"I had been looking for you for years until I found out you were married. I thought you were happy and didn't want to disturb you", he paused and sadness filled his eyes.

"I found out about the scandal of your marriage and looked for you, but you were gone. Through the tracker in the locket I was able to track you."

I looked at the locket. "Your father gave you the locket for your safety, there was a tracker then but I just found out" I removed it and forced it open.

I never knew there was a picture inside. My father and mother's pictures were in the locket. They were carrying me and I could tell from the picture that they were happy.

"How did they die?" My eyes were moisturized, tears threatening to fall. He stood up and stood In front of the picture.

"It was an accident, but there was no evidence of that night, it was like someone was trying to hide his crimes"

I didn't know when tears started flowing down my eyes and I felt a warm embrace. "You are back and that is what is important". I nodded my head and hugged him back.

"Why is Mum crying?" I heard a whisper and broke the hug. My bundles of joy were looking at me curiously. "You three should come and give this old man a hug". He spread his arms and they ran into it.

"You are our Grandfather, right?" Jayden asked. Grandfather shook his head. "I am your great-grandfather" "What does that mean?" Kayden asked.

"That means I am your Mother's grandfather" "Ohhhh," they all said together.

"You all have to stay with me from now on," he said, looking at me. I wanted to object to it when the children shouted in joy.

"This place is cool," Jayden asked, running around the place. "What should we call you?" Isabella asked "Call me pop," Grandfather answered.

"Stop rejoicing, we are going back to the hotel" Four pairs of eyes looked at me with puppy eyes.

"I want you to stay with me, I want to be with my family," he said. "no buts you are staying with me" I sigh and I smile nodding my head.

All of a sudden we heard a loud clash. "The sculpture fell" Jayden scratched the back of his head. "Let us go and look for our room," Isabella said and they all ran inside.

"The hotel bill is much and the children will love it here" I stood up from my couch. "Come and show me around this big mansion" he laughed along with me.

"Incoming" Jayden shouted and jumped into the pool. "Be careful" I cautioned from where I was sitting.

"Let them be, the lifeguards are watching them from the camera" Grandfather came and sat beside me.

"They never listen" I sigh, putting my laptop on the table next to me. "They are children, they are bound to never listen" I looked at them.

"How did you manage all these years?" He asked me to give him his full attention. I checked the kids to make sure they were fine before answering him.

"It wasn't easy, I had no one to help me as Nickolas refused to give me alimony, I had to leave the city and work so hard to provide for us"

"I won't let you and the kids suffer again, I promise you", I gave him a broad smile and he patted my head.

"I want you to be in charge of my business," he said, his eyes trained on me. "You want me to handle your company?"

"This old man needs a break and I trust you to take care of my business till I get back on track" "I don't think I can do that grandfather, it is a big responsibility." Taking care of a business is not easy, and I am afraid I will mess things up.

"You are the one who will take it after me, it will be like practice. I want to introduce you to the business world and this is the right thing to do" I looked down, biting my lips hard.

"Hey kiddo, I will train you", I hugged him. "I never knew I would know who I was, thank you for never giving up" he ruffled my hair.

"I am Lorenzo, we don't give up" I laughed as he dramatized it.

"Good luck mummy" they choried and gave me kisses. "Thank you, my babies" I kissed their cheeks. "Be good children and don't stress your pop". They nodded obediently.

"You should get going. Punctuality is one of the good ways to start a new path" I nodded and smiled at him before leaving the house.

Today is my first day of handling my grandfather's business. I was nervous, I hope it goes well. I know people knew me as the billionaire's cheating ex-wife, but now I am Rose Romano, Jacob's granddaughter.

As soon as I stepped out of the car, flashes of light from all directions blinded my eyes. I thought Grandfather said he wasn't going to call the media.

A group of men in black came and led me from them and also stopped them. "Miss. Lorenzo, welcome to Lorenzo enterprise". A middle-aged man stretched out his hands.

"Thank you, Mr…." I trailed off for him to give me his name. "Wood" I smiled at him and he led me to my office.

It was beautiful and big. This old man has great taste. My phone rang and it was my grandfather. Speaking of the devil, I rolled my eyes.

"You called the media," I said immediately after I answered the call. "Sorry kiddo, I just wanted them to know my granddaughter is back." I understand, he has been lonely for so long.

"How do you like your new office," he asked. "It is beautiful, I love it," I said, sitting on the chair. This is amazing. I rolled the chair and gave a short laugh.

He gave a sad smile "You remind me of hazel". My smile went off. "I wish I had met her too."

"Come on, don't keep talking to this old man, you have a meeting you have to attend. It makes me proud". I raised my pinky finger.

"I will grandfather" I ended the call and was about to take the business file to go through when a knock came on the door.

"Come in", Mr. Woods entered holding a notepad. "Mr. Norman is here for the meeting" Mr. Woods was grandfather's secretary, and he was good at his work.

Wait. Did I just hear Norman? It might not be him. What if it is him? My conscience nagged me. Nicholas that I know waits for anyone, he is impatient.

"Ma'am, we have to attend the meeting" I nodded my head and forced myself to follow behind him. The thought of seeing him again made my heart flutter.

I was relieved when I didn't see him in the conference room. I sat down after we all exchanged pleasantries.

"Sorry, I went to take a phone call," a familiar voice said entering the room. I know this voice like the back of my fingers. I felt chills down my spine

He is here. My eyes met him and it took him some seconds before he recognized me. His eyes widened in surprise. My eyes trailed off his physical appearance.

His chest is broader, he is taller and he has grown a little beard. He looks different and nice.

I shouldn't show him he affects me. The memories of our past flashed before my eyes and I felt hatred and anger at the man in front of me.

At that moment, I wanted revenge. I wanted to make him feel what I went through. Nickolas Norman you will pay for your sins and not only you, Paris Samuel will pay dearly too.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Nicholas Norman" I smirked at him, leaning on my seat.
