RyleeI was thrown into confusion as Emily and I ordered our steps back into my room. Katy and Rudy were taken in by the housekeepers and we had to disappear for the night. Mr King had visited and everyone panicked. The room was full of anxiety and everyone disappeared as though a cat appeared in a rat hole. I had seen Mr King on television a few times. I would have sworn he was extremely sociable. Seeing him in a close stance, he was the complete opposite of what I imagined. He was sweet and lovely on television but terrifying in person.We escaped to my room and laughed our hearts out. The faces made by his sons were hilarious. That was the first time I saw Mr Leo panicking. The scene looked like he was about to be interrogated for a crime he committed. Mr King hadn't been in the US for years and I figured they had a lot to finish off.We both landed on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while talking about how unsettling the whole day had been. Emily talked about Williams and

RyleeAdeline arrived looking like a Christmas present. Everyone had been expecting her. She looked so gorgeous in the floor-length white gown she wore. Adeline King was a public figure who made occasional appearances on television. She had always been on everyone’s lips. Mrs. King was rumored to be a side piece that jumped into the marriage when Mr. Leo lost his mother. The few good ones had always defended her saying she was a professor in a prestigious university and was never interested in getting in bed with Mr King. Surely, they got married after a year of Mr king trying to get her attention. That was the rumor I had to confirm. It was evident that Mr king was very much still in love with her. He was smiling from ear to ear after setting his eyes on her. Adeline was charming and still eye-catching at her age. She was refined and an epitome of class. Her scent was overpowering and she spoke with so much poise.“Oh Sweetheart”“You look beautiful, honey,” Mr King said, moving clos

Leonardo My parents were beaming with smiles as we left for the office. Driving in a limousine with my father took me back to the early days of my career. I pulled up to the office in a limousine a few times with my dad. He liked the limousine and often used it whenever we had a board meeting. Mr. King would often give me the final speech before we stepped out of the car each time we had a business meeting. The car was the secret consulting room. He would always say it's good to be prepared as the press or investors might be at the entrance waiting to have a chat. I was always groomed to be the heir. My father never looked at my abilities. He molded me to be one and I grew to love it.There I was, driving with my father to the company I had built up. I was certain my father would be impressed. I looked up to Manolo to get confirmation that everything was going according to plan, but he was engrossed in his phone. Manolo was smiling from ear to ear. He was cute at that moment and I ha

RyleeI woke up to a surprise tray and a lineup of housekeepers carrying gifts and presents. I looked confused as I struggled to cover my body with the duvet. The housekeepers were nowhere to be found when I was searching the mansion the previous night. I had thought they were intentionally avoiding me. Alice was specifically assigned to me but she disappeared the whole day. Yet they were lined up at my door the next morning.I sensed the day was different. The housekeepers only line up in the hallway when Leo buys a change of clothes or gifts for me. I was confused about what was going on. Surely, Mr. Leo was distant at the time and he witnessed Manolo flirting with me. He was pissed but chose to ignore it. Mr Leo isn’t one to please anyone. I looked at Alice for a cue but she smiled instead.Alice signaled the rest to bring in the presents. Before I could say a word, my room was filled with sort of boxed gifts. it had to be Leo. I never requested a change of clothes and shoes but I

RyleeAs the clock struck 5 in the evening, I moved to the bathroom and got ready for my birthday celebration. I called Lucas earlier that day and he informed me that the shop was crowded. My plans changed and I decided to go after the deliveries had been done for the day. That was the perfect moment to host any party because the employees and my manager would be free. I paid for a cake to be made and I was sure Lucas would make an extra effort to see me smile. I specifically told him I needed a red velvet cake with white designs. I had no idea what my sudden obsession with the color red was but I was craving it badly.With excitement dancing in my eyes, I did a full glam and wore a red shimmering dress with wine lips to match. The clutch purse gave the feeling of a dinner date but I wanted to feel and look special regardless of where I was going.Stepping into the car, I saw Leo at the entrance and looked away. He never bothered to ask where I was going or restricted my movement. I

RyleeMy eyes widened as I saw Manolo waiting at the door when I walked through the hallway. He was full of smiles and I showed a tired face. Manolo was cheerful and I wanted to give the same energy but I was tired to my toes. The intimate date I had planned for the group turned out to be a party. It so happened that it was converted into my farewell party. I had the time of my life with my colleagues. All I wanted was to sleep but I felt Manolo needed to say a few things. He wore casual wear with decorative footwear and a watch to match. I had the feeling he was going to engage in a lengthy conversation. I staggered to the door while trying to show the need for urgency in his speech. He giggled while I approached him and stretched out an envelope.“Here you go”“Your day wouldn't be complete without this” he smiled brightly.“C’mon Manolo”“You have done enough”“I’ve had the best birthday”“What more could I ask for” I expressed firmly“It's not over until I say it is. princess”“Op

Leonardo I was stunned beyond words. I stood in the hallway for a few minutes before I turned to leave. Manolo looked confident while Rylee’s eyes were filled with guilt. The words pierced my heart and I left straight to my room. I never uttered a word. Even when they tried to say something, I waved it off. My anger was shooting off the roof and I needed to rethink my words. Manolo was family and so was Rylee. She was carrying my child. I had no idea why I was pained but I needed to figure out what to do with the situation. My father wasn't the right person to go to as he was already pissed with Manolo. Neither was Adeline. I planned for them to stay and leave without getting involved with my private life. At least that was how it was for a long while. I knew I needed to handle the situation alone. William's call came in the next minute and I picked up.“Hi Leo”“Hi buddy”“I’ve been trying to reach out to your secretary regarding the paperwork your company was supposed to send to mi

RyleeThe popular model Montelle was in the mansion and I had planned to talk to her. She was an idol and taking a picture with her would mean everything. She was a lover of great parties and I was looking at working with her in the future. Montelle had quite a conversation with Leo and Adeline so I couldn't butt in. I waited for a while but it seemed the business conversation was going to take all day. She was looking great and I admired her soft voice and her mannerisms. Montelle spoke fluently and convincingly. I’d voted for her as a spokesperson if not a lawyer. Adeline seemed to be impressed about the deal while Leo was completely lost in her eyes.Adeline had left them and they continued to flirt with each other. I had passed by the living room a couple of times when Leo called me in. I was surprised about why he called because he had been giving me a cold shoulder for a while. I had silently wished he would introduce me to Montelle but he never blinked. He said a few words with
