131 The Call It was rather late into the evening before Lena’s phone indicated that she was getting a call. She had gone back to the sunroom because she couldn’t stand being around too many other people nor did she want to try and eat anything because of the stress. Thus she decided to go to the one place that she knew would be comfortable for her. She wanted to answer the phone the moment the call started but waited until she had called for Hester and her Father so that it would increase the…

130 Only Time Will Tell By the time the afternoon came, Lena had requested for Romeo to come back when he couldn’t find any additional clues that would help them out. Russo had done a good job of covering his tracks after they left and made sure not to leave much of anything behind that they could use to track them. The princess had asked Genson if he still had the phone number he used as a contact for when the Vedova Nera had hired him, but the number was no longer in service which lead to another…

129 For the Sake of Money “Is there anything else that I can do to be of service while I am here?” Genson asked after a few minutes of silence had taken over the room again. He didn’t want to be rude and excuse himself if the princess still needed something from him, that would decrease his chance of receiving the extra money that she promised. On the other hand though, he had other things that he needed to attend to now that he was up and awake on the weekend. “Don’t leave the premise but…

128 Information Lena was surprised by how quickly Genson showed up after she had called him. He must’ve been really eager to make the extra money. By looks. neither Clive or Hester seemed to be that thrilled to see him at the estate. They had never worked with him before, but they were well are of who he was. “How may I be of service to you, princess?” He asked, taking a seat at the table checking before to make sure that it would be okay. “Do you know who this person is?” Lena asked…

127 Family Reunion When Samuel woke up, the first thing that he became aware of was the splitting headache he had and the fact that when he opened his eyes that he couldn’t see anything that was going on around him which indicated there was something covering his eyes. Trying to his shift his body told him his hands were tied behind his back but his legs were still free. Based upon what he felt against his back, he determined he must’ve been sitting or leaning against something that had to have been…

126 Everything Will Be Okay The door to her office had hardly closed before Lena began to vent all of the anger that she was falling. Knowing that there wasn’t much that he could do, Leo stood quietly while he let her vent until he knew that he could ask her questions to get her back on to the right track. “This is precisely why I told father I was against this whole thing in the first place!” She snapped at no one in particular. She hated being in a position where there wasn’t much that she…

124 Deja Vu The first thing that Lena reminded herself as she looked at her phone was that she needed to breathe. Losing her head right now wasn’t going to do any good, especially since her father wasn’t there. “Bring Hester in here.” She barked at Clive as she called her father back. It would be easier to tell him over call rather then texting him what was going on. “I’m fine. Something is going on with Samuel, I don’t know what it is right now, but I will call you back later when I…

123 Something Wrong Lena woke with a start when she realized that someone was shaking her shoulder. She hadn’t even realized that she had fallen asleep the night before. “I apologize for waking you so early Princess, but you have a guest here who said that it’s urgent to see you.” As soon as she recognized Clive’s voice she relaxed slightly. She still wasn’t sure where she was until she opened her eyes and tried to adjust to the dim light that had been turned on in the room. She had…

122 Mistake i𝒏𝐧𝒓ea𝚍.＆nbsp;𝘤𝗼𝓶 Samuel had to get up extra early the next morning so that he could make it to the jeweler and get back either before Lena left or wondered where he was after she woke up. Jeff had kindly agreed to be up early to take him and assured him if he texted him the moment that he woke up, the other would be sure to respond and be awake. The sun was barely starting to come up but wasn’t high enough to provide much light for Samuel who decided to rely on…

121 Unexpected The board meeting felt torturously slowly and unnecessary to Lena. It felt like the kind of meeting that people often mentioned could’ve been put into an email but somehow was still made into a physical meeting because it could be. Most of the updates that was hearing from the board were nothing new to her. She already knew that everything between this month and the last was still stable as far as business and money went. The only new thing was that she had to report in the recent…
