Leena's POV “Who are you?” And when he came out fully, I gave him a scornful look. “Who am I?” I smirked. “Has it gotten to the time when you can't recognize me?” I questioned him in disgust. “My apologies, I didn't see you clearly,” Harry said courteously. “Where is your boss? Where is James?” I fired at him anxiously. “He is not around at the moment.” He said, lowering his face to the ground and I knew he was lying. “I know that brat is in there. James! James! James!” I started banging at the gate again in anger. “Open this gate and let me in!” I barked at his face. “I'm sorry but I was asked not to open the gate for you.” He said randomly. “Harry, your boss is doing something evil! He is ruining my family. Will you still try to protect him till the end?” I asked him, raising a brow and he shook his head. “Please, leave Mrs. Sean.” He said coldly. “I can't believe you. All of you are evil. I won't let any of you go scout-free.” I cried bitterly. “Mrs. Sean, please leave n
Leena's POV “Lawrence, I mean it when I said my children are under your care.” I began. “My parents and Sean's parents or someone else might come to make things difficult for you but as long as I'm not reachable, you've all the right to my children,” I said seriously. “You are confusing and serious, Leena. Is something going on?” He asked anxiously, raising a brow. “Everything is fine.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for everything. From beginning till the end, I truly appreciate it.” I said, forcing out a smile. “Thanks for trusting me.” He said courteously with a short bow. “Did you bring the car and prepare all that I told you to?” I asked him impatiently and he sighed. “I can't believe I did something like this.” He paused. “I trust you are sending this over to someone else, if not, I will blame myself forever if something happens to you.” He said sadly and I smirked. “I'm just trying to set things the way they were in the past. It's never your fault.” I assur
“[BREAKING NEWS: Mr. and Mrs. Sean were the victims of an explosion around the isolated part of the city, the cause of the explosion is yet…]” Almost all the television, radios, and phones were announcing the same news. “How did this happen?” Leena's mother rushed into the emergency ward. “How come? How did something like this happen to both of them?” Leena's father asked anxiously as anxiety lingered in his eyes. “That shouldn't be our problem now.” Sean's father cried out. “What do you mean?” Leena's mother stared at him intently. “Only Sean's body was found at the explosion scene.” He paused. “Leena…. Leena…” He continued stuttering. “What are you implying?” Leena's father's lips started trembling. “Leena's body wasn't found.” Sean's mother spilled bluntly and the latter gasped in shock. It felt like they were electrocuted as they didn't speak or move for minutes. “Leena!!! How? Why?” Leena's mother wailed as she rambled with several questions. “We don't know. Sean barely
Leena’s POV“What?” I gasped in shock.“Father, it hasn’t gotten to this,” I said seriously.“Why? Do you have any value or worth that it isn’t time to let go of you?” My father, the man I respect so much even though he was annoying barked at my face.“It’s an honor to get married to such a man because I doubt anyone would settle for you.” He spat on my face.“But, this is for my brother's life and my education. You can’t tell me to marry a crippled man!” I yelled in annoyance and my adoptive mother slapped my face as she stood up.“How dare you talk nonsense before my husband!” She hissed. “Who else should marry him if not you? Do you think Jane is worth the catch?” She raised a mocking brow.“But the family chose Jane and not me, Father, please.” I tried to plead with them.My brother’s life was at stake and in no time, my university certificate might be barred as I hadn’t finished my clearance. No doubt, I was at their mercy.“I want to help you, Leena but you also have to help me
Leena’s POV“What are you doing?” My adoptive mother tried to stop her but she refused.“And you must be the real daughter, Jane.” James curled his lips, his hand waiting for a handshake which she impatiently shook.“Yes. And I’m the one you are supposed to marry.” Jane rambled with words.“Jane, what are you doing? I thought we had an agreement?” My father shunned her.By this time, the audience was already wondering what we were discussing about. I stood like an idle dummy.“But, you aren’t in your wedding gown. Does that qualify you to be my bride?” He smirked. I found him interesting at first sight,He returned to my side.“I’m here to marry the said Leena Martins, so please let’s respect ourselves.” He said strictly before signaling the priest to continue.Jane was so annoyed that she couldn’t stay till the end of the wedding. She went away while my adoptive parents’ stayed for formality's sake and also because they hadn’t concluded terms with James.As soon as the wedding ended,
Leena’s POV“What?!” The news I heard on the phone startled me as I stood up and grabbed my handbag. I checked through the cabinet for the contract but couldn’t find it.“I... I will be with you shortly, please bear with me and don’t ignore him.” I rushed out of the room and almost bumped into James.“Whatsup? Why are you in a hurry?” He gave me a long look.“I... It’s none of your business.” I brushed him aside and left through the door.In the garage, I saw different colorful cars parked. I wondered who they were as I tried to book a ride with my phone.Soon, I saw three sets of different women approaching our mansion. They look so hot in their sexy tight skirts.“What are you doing here?” Absentmindedly, I questioned them.“What does it look like, bitch? James is done with you so screw off, it’s our turn.” One of the ladies hissed.“Do you know who…?” I hadn’t finished my statement when another shoved me aside and went away.I gave them a long disastrous look, feeling helpless and
Leena’s POVThis was the only option I had left.I exhaled heavily before pushing the door open with my hand on the doorknob.As the gentleman saw him, he sighed and concentrated on what he was doing with his laptop.“Sir….” I lowered my face.“You are here again, how can I help you this time?” He snorted, looking displeased.“I thought you saw my message last night.” I began but he didn’t respond to me. “Well, I’m here to ask for a loan. I promise to pay back before the deadline.” I said impatiently and he smirked in mockery before standing from his seat.“Leena, I know how I forced you last time before I could get my money back. The company almost fired me.” He grumbled, approaching me. I stepped backward.“Something came up last night which I explained to you,” I mumbled with a shaking voice.“And you are saying that thing won’t come up again?” He raised a scornful brow and I swallowed hard.“Mr. Mike, it’s just $500,000.” I spilled bluntly as his action was beginning to get me ann
Leena’s POV“Leena, Leena..!” He tried to get a hold of me but I quickly walked out of the living room. The ladies he wasted himself last night were still lying drowsily on the armchair and ground.“Please, let me explain myself.” He grabbed my hand.“Explain yourself? Why?” I scoffed, looking at him with disinterest.“What happened last night? I’m really sorry.” He lowered his head, feeling guilty and I smirked.“You have nothing to apologize for, Mr. James. We already made ourselves clear.” I spilled bluntly.“Someone spiked my drink last night, that was why I brought them home. I had no idea that I was home with them…” He paused. “Checking the CCTV camera, I’m dimwitted towards my action.” He said dolefully.“You know you are good at playing this game. But you owe me no apology and I don’t believe you. Live your life as you please and don’t disturb me.” I shunned him.“Trust me, Leena.” He didn’t let me go and I turned my back on him. “Yeah, I’m a cheating husband but after our wed
