Leah's POV "What happened?" I pushed the door open and asked. Sak was standing outside, accompanied by several security guards. They all looked at me with fear. And then, I saw a pool of blood on the floor. I felt like I was struck by a giant bat in my face. "What's going on?!" I grabbed Sak and asked. "Why is there a pool of blood on the floor?!" "We can't find Miss Parrish, Miss Lewyn," Sak said in a low voice. "According to the waiter who was standing outside the lounge, someone bashed his head and he passed out. He couldn't remember anything that happened next. When he regained consciousness, he was lying in a pool of blood and Miss Parrish was gone." "Gone?! What do you mean she's gone?! Did someone snatch her? Did she run away?! Did she get hurt?! Have you checked the surveillance video?!" I panicked. Sak looked terrified and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Lewyn. But we don't have any surveillance cameras for this area of the club due to concerns about our customers' privacy..."
Clara's POV "Oh, fuck! Are you sure? Take a good look at her!" Mick pointed at the girl in the trunk. "I don't need to take a good look at her! She's not Leah!" I yelled at him. Mick looked around and stared at the girl, then, he looked at me and said hopelessly, "Can't we just... Fuck her instead? I mean, she's got nice boobs." "Ahhhhh! Mick! I'm fucking done with you! You're fucking useless!" I shouted at Mick. Mick looked indignant and said, "Hey! I made a lot of effort to get her out of the club! And I did it for you! I made a mistake. So what?! Shit happens! We just have to go with the flow." "I don't fucking go with the flow! Only fucking losers go with the flow! I want that bitch Leah and she's not here! You deal with the shit because I've had it enough! If you can't fucking get that bitch Leah, I'll get her myself!" I pushed Mick away and walked off. Before I got out of the warehouse, I heard the sound of helicopters and cars. I looked out and saw an army waiting outsid
Leah's POV At that time, Troy walked into the warehouse with Clara in his custody. She looked like a lifeless doll with her head and arms lowering and dangling. Jalin followed them in, talking on his mobile. As soon as he met my brother's eyes, he cut off the phone and said to him, "Some human beings were involved and injured. We are trying to figure out what exactly happened." My brother stared at Jalin and said in a cold voice, "You deal with them now, and I will deal with you later, including you." He took a glance at Troy, who immediately straightened up a bit when he met my brother's eyes. "Yes, Your Highness." Both Jalin and Troy replied. "Leah, let's go," Lucian said to me. I looked at Jalin and Troy, who looked absolutely miserable. I took a deep breath and said to Lucian in a steady, calm voice, "Actually, I want to stay. I've been running away from them all the time, but now I guess I'll have to take some measures to deal with this situation." My brother nodded slight
Leah's POV "We can't choose in which family we were born, but that's not an excuse for hurting other people! Every family is unhappy in its way, so we have to live our lives despite it! If you really loved Clara and wanted to protect her, you should at least stop her when she was trying to hurt other people as well as herself! But you didn't! Instead, you let her pull you into her swirl of despair and madness! And that's why you should be punished!" "We didn't hurt Laura! We didn't touch her!" Mick argued. "And that's the only reason that you're still breathing now!" I said in a harsh voice. "Lucian was this close to ending your lives just now and if he had done it, everyone in this Kingdom would understand, including the Farrows. Do you know why? Because everyone knows how pathetic Clara is and everyone thinks death is the ultimate relief for her miserable life! Mick, you're the only one on earth who chose to side with your cousin. So you have to use your better judgment from now o
Leah’s POV I clenched my fists. I couldn't believe someone would threaten me in such a shameless way. Gloated, Sak continued, "Plus, if I turn Finn in, I will also have to turn in his client list. There are a lot of big shots on that list and I'm sure when you wake up the next morning, your world will be turned upside down just like mine. Come on, Miss Lewyn, we don't know each other, but I've done nothing else except for trying to make you a happy customer. I've got families. I've got three sons at home. Maybe one day you can meet them and you will become their favorite auntie. Do you really want to make three innocent boys fatherless for the rest of their lives?" I couldn't hold my anger anymore and said, "I can't believe that you're using your son as an excuse to try to get away with this! Finn is someone's son. Have you ever thought of that? What if someone like you did what you've done to Finn to one of your sons? What if it was your son?!" For a brief moment, Sak looked as if
"Leah, five minutes I'm away smoking with Troy and you came back with a surprise on your side. I thought we discussed this when you were six when I particularly warned you not to pick up strays on the side of the road." Jalin took a glance at Finn, who was staying in bed, surrounded by nurses. Finn got nervous when he saw Jalin. I had to hold his hands to make him stop trembling. I didn't think he was afraid of Jalin, who looked perfectly harmless to anyone. I guessed it had something to do with the uniform that Jalin was wearing. I noticed that Finn got nervous whenever he saw people in military uniform. "How are you going to explain this to Lucian, may I ask?" Jalin pointed at Finn and asked me. "He doesn't have to know," I mumbled. "Oh, great." Jalin said, "Let me know if your plan is going to work. And please do call me when he finds out that there's a man living in his beloved sister's bedroom. I want to see the look on his face." "Jalin... please..." "OK, stop right ther
Leah's POV After I heard Mr. Carson's speech, my spirit immediately hit the rock bottom. The word "Lucas" was like an invisible blanket, covering the beautiful sunshine above my head, and smothering me to death. But as soon as I thought of the kiss with Finn last night, I became cheerful, "Don't worry about me, Mr. Carson. I know it's a bit faster than usual, but that's just how it works. As regards my divorce, I'll find a way for Lucas to sign the papers. Now, I want you to prepare a champion breakfast for me and Finn. After breakfast, he'll go to work with me!" "Yes, Miss Leah." Mr. Carson raised both of his eyebrows. I winked at him and returned to my bedroom. To my surprise, Finn was gone. He wasn't on the bed. There were only his clothes and some bandages. Then, I heard the sound of water splashing coming from downstairs. I opened the French window and stepped onto the balcony and leaned forward, I saw Fin swimming in the swimming pool downstairs. As he glided through t
Leah's POV "Finn... Stop..." I whispered. Hearing my voice, he stopped what he was doing and put me back on the ground. Then, he pulled himself out of the swimming pool, wrapped himself with a towel, and sat on the bench far away from me. When I finally managed to get back on my feet and approached him, I found that he was trembling. "I'm sorry..." He apologized in a robotic voice with his head tilted to the side. The man, who gave me the best orgasm I had ever had, didn't even want to look at me. I sat next to him and said, "Finn, what happened to you? Why are you so afraid of me? You know that I'm not one of those bad people who wants to hurt you. You don't have to do anything to please me because of fear. I just want to help you, but I can't help you if you don't let me." Finn didn't say a word. His eyes were empty again. I knew he had shut himself down again. Whenever I want to talk to him, he refuses to listen. What's going on? I became agitated. Have I ever done anythin
