Leonica gushed at his cuteness, gently placing a kiss on his forehead before she replied. "Norway, momm

"Really?!" Ashely asked with sparkling eyes. "I get to see Grandma and Grandpa and uncle Leo?"

She nodded her head. "Yes,"

""Yay!" He exclaimed. "Let's go mommy."

Smiling at his enthusiastic nature, Leonica ruffled Ashely's hair once more. "Sure. Now how about you go out Betty with her new friends and I'll prepare dinner." "Okay." He nodded his head and quickly pecked his mother on her cheek before rushing up the

stairs.

Leonica watches him with a bright smile which immediately faded as soon as he disappeared from her sight.

She reached into her pocket and retrieved her phone, scrolling through her message list and finding Leonardo's number.

With her hand hovering above the call button, she bit her lower lip.

There was no turning back now. If she wanted her family to remain in peace, this is the least

she could do.

Pressing down on the call button, she pressed the phone to her ear and listened to the line

ring.

Seconds later, it was answered and she spoke with new found determination.

The President Of Romero Empire.

The next day, in the affluent district of Norway city, a meeting consisting of Romero Empire's main shareholders was ensuing.

Voices bounced off the four walls of the conference room, growing louder and rowdier by each passing second as one shareholder over another, had something more important to voice.

"The presidential seat has been vacant for far too long," Rodrigo began, opening his argument for the meeting. "Romero empire needs a capable president that can lead us to prosperity,"

"I agree." One of the shareholders present concurred, nodding his head at Rodrigo's statement. "But the question is who?"

"Perhaps the eldest son of the Romero family, Leonardo?" Another shareholder spoke up, however, instantly regretting her words when Rodrigo sent her a sharp glare.

"Impossible." He objected. "Leonardo is not fit to be the president of Romero Empire. He may have graduated with a business degree from oxford, but he's still too inexperienced to take over a company as successful as this. And besides, were not going to leave the fate of a company we've worked so hard to build in the hands of an adopted child, now are we?" He

asked.

The question quickly arouse whispers amongst the shareholders.

"I think he's right." One whispered to their seat partner.

Amidst the sea of voices, someone spoke up. "You might be right, leaving the fate of Romero Empire in the hands of an adoptive son may not be the right choice of action, however," All eyes turned to face the voice that was speaking-
