1066 Words
Leonardo was pacing in his study, and anyone can say he was not in a good mood. Nobody knew what made his mood spoil except his father, Alessandro, because he was responsible for this. Leonardo was not someone who talks too much, and he would explain nothing to anyone. His mother was worried, and she came with some of his favorite food and which was sitting on the coffee table beside his study window. But it was getting cold sitting there untouched. His study door was open, and he was angry with the visitor who entered unannounced. But when he noticed it was none other than his father, he just clenched his fist and sit on his chair. Alessandro walked toward his wine cabinet and bring out one of his best collections and pour it into two glasses. “What brings your lazy ass to my office? I thought you needed to spend some leisure time. That’s why you shove this business on me.” Leonardo mocked though he was the one who pressured Alessandro to hand him the business. He wanted to get the power that Alessandro had, so he threatened him with passing the business otherwise he would snatch it. Alessandro wasn’t some Leonardo can play with, neither he wanted to declare war against his son. So he challenged him to start his own business and if Leonardo can prove himself, he would happily pass his business to him. It was a trap from Alessandro’s side. He wanted to prove his son was not his match. But he underestimated his own blood because Leonardo proved him wrong and achieved more than he had expected. He hand over the business to him like a proud father, but he was laughing inside. Alessandro was confident even with this power Leonardo can’t defeat him and today was one of those days he wanted to show his son, who is the real King here. “Of course, I wanted to retire, but when a Lion stop hunting, it didn’t mean he forget to hunt. I can take this business over and run it well like before.” He said laughing but the threat inside his tone was clear. “Oh, what wishful thinking. When you don’t use a gun for a long time, it becomes rusty, you can’t use it like before.” Leonardo said. Alessandro push a glass of wine in front of Leonardo and he picked another and took a sip from his glass. “Maybe,” Alessandro didn’t argue much. He won’t talk much, his action spoke better. “Why are you here? I am busy and don’t have time to waste over your useless talks.” Leonardo said and pull out his laptop closer and started to work while sipping his wine in between. This one was his favorite and he won’t let his father’s stupid talks get on his nerve. This man has tried enough over the last four years and like always Leonardo will put the ball on the court. “Oh, I was just happy about something, I just wanted to celebrate with my son,” Alessandro said and a smirk fluttered on his face, but Leonardo’s hand stiffen and he put the glass back. “Don’t you think you are losing your charm? I thought Alessandro Rossi who was one terror of Italy, anyone would think twice before dealing with him had something better in his sleeves than this.” Leo had a frown, but the sharpness in his words didn’t lessen a bit. He was angry, and his words were coming out of his mouth, lacing with venom. “Don’t be sad. Age is getting on you, dad. You should rest and enjoy the last few years of life. Your son is here to handle everything.” Leonardo said. Anyone would be enraged hearing his taunt and his words were constantly indicating Alessandro to back off and stay out of this matter. But if Alessandro would back off and let him do as he want, what would he become? A p***y. “Oh, I am perfectly fine and still can kick a few asses if needed. But I think it’s not fulfilling if your opponent is not parred your level. But what can I say? No one is born yet to match my level. So I need to get content with less.” Alessandro said and his mocking tone directly indicated Leonardo’s defeat. “Oh, maybe you didn’t yet start the game, dad. I am sure if the game starts you will know who is the actual winner.” Leonardo looked away from him and started constantly typing on his laptop, paying no heed to his words. Alessandro knew from the beginning it won’t be easy to make Leonardo agree to his words. He has been always so stubborn since childhood. His obsession with something can make him fight till the end and Alessandro has always tried to let his son win. But this time he can’t let him win. He need to back off, and he would make him by hook or by crook. Alessandro get up and walked toward the cabinet where various books and some of his work files were stacked. Leonardo spends most of his time here and that’s why this room remains neat in clean. He likes his room prim and proper. But today there was a file kept on the other part, making it look like an eyesore. He walked toward there and pull the file out. “What are you doing?” Leonardo voice out as he was not liking his way of intruding in his personal space. Alessandro placed the file in the file cabinet where it should be and turned around. “Everything has its place and you should keep it in its place. I don’t like someone intruding where he doesn’t belong. And I will make sure nothing is out of its place in my house.” Alessandro replied and Leo frown at his word. He knew what he was saying, but he said nothing. “Leo, I know you are very stubborn and I have liked your stubbornness because it made you passionate. But I won’t like it if your passion ruins the image of Rossi. That would be unacceptable.” Alessandro said and pat his son’s shoulder. Alessandro left the study, leaving Leonardo sitting with his thoughts.
