★★LEONA★★He darts his eyes away from me and leaned back on the railings."Why do you care to know.?" He asked, his voice a bit calm." He's my son," I replied as if it was no5 the most obvious thing."Have you suddenly realized how it feels like for someone to say they'll take something that belongs to you from you?"He sounds hurt and I want to be close to him. I walked to him and tried to go under the space under his arms again."You're not bending again, Leona." He hissed. I stopped halfway and fiddled with my fingers. " Is it a sin to want to be close to you?”I heard him sigh. " Are you not scared of me or angry at me?" He asked.I raised my eyes to him " Why would I be? For what?""I shouted at you so much today, Leo." He confessed."You were just angry, I understand.""Come here please." He begged.I closed the space between us and he pulled me into his arms as I laid my head on his chest." I haven't forgiven you, Leona." He said and I looked up at him, lock
★★LEONA★★ He swept me into his chest in a hug while I hooked my hands on his shoulders to make more contact with him. "I could watch you smile forever, Leo." "Me too." " Now tell me everything. " I leaned on the railings and stared at him. "Where do I even start?" "Anywhere." "Yeah okay so.." he sighed. "If you can't say it then leave it." " No, I want to. So this is it, my mum's family business and properties got seized by some people and the only way to retrieve it was if she has a male grandson and I was my mum's only son so rightfully, I have to settle down and have a baby. Unfortunately, during that time, I was recovering from a kind of heartbreak. My relationship status wasn't stable because I broke up with a woman I plan to marry.." " What happened? Why did you break up?" " What else? I realized she was only interested in my money and she was cheating too so I just have to end things. Since then I moved around with ladies but not because I love them. We just have fu
I felt something crawling on my skin and my body started tingling to the touch. It was slow and teasing and I squirmed. I felt a grab on my boobs and a sudden warmth hit the back of my ear.I jerked and my eyes opened when I felt something warm and hard pressed behind me.I turned to see Dave."What are you doing?" I whispered."What you wanted us to do earlier." He whispered back. My eyes darted to the clock and it was 4:50 in the morning. I smirked and covered myself."Go back to sleep, Dave.""You're not doing this now." He moved to touch me again but I shifted away."Yes, I am. You don't want Leonard to stop you midway and why would you spoil my sleep because of this.""He's sleeping and no longer on me."" Okay." I turn with my back facing him." Don't you want to lie back on me?""No, I just want to sleep." " You can sleep with me."" I don't want to," I replied." Why? You wanted it.""Yes." I agreed."Then?""I'm no longer in the mood.""Well, I am."He got under the duvet w
★★LEONA★★"Could you make haste with that? We need to shop." Dave said when he came back from the washroom and I was still not done eating." Don't rush me, I can go alone," I told him."In case you don't know, you won't be going anywhere without me."" Seriously? Is it that you don't have anything relevant to do?."" Your mouth is running again." He eyed me and dropped his towel. My cheeks heated up and I looked away. " You can do the shopping alone. I will just stay at home."" That's not happening."" Then relax. I'm feeding an extra mouth." I muttered and he laughed." Sure. Take your time." He gave in.A knock sounds on the door before Raymond stepped in."How are you, Leo?""Hi, Raymond. I'm good." I looked up at him and he was still in Dave's clothes and he looked tired with some visible bruises. I looked at Dave too and he didn't look different. What have they been up to? I looked at the time and it was 2 pm. So soon? And I am now having breakfast? Why did I sleep s
★LEONA★"How long did I sleep?" I asked Dave as we climbed the stairs to his room."Not much."I nod and a yawn escapes my mouth."I'd just give Raymond this and fetch Leonard." He said and walked towards Raymond's door.I got into the room and stripped.I walked to the bathroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying to find something that would give it away that I was pregnant.My hands went to my breast and I cupped it. It was heavy and fuller. My skin seems to be glowing and that was just it. My stomach was still the way it was. I traced the faint thin line scar on my lower tummy and smiled.The bathroom door opens and Dave walks in with Leonard."I'll be bathing both of you today.""Excuse me?" Is he insane? I don't think we have enough time for that. I turned the shower on and grabbed a shampoo. I wet my hair and added it."Let me help you." He made me sit and began to massage my scalp then washed my hair."Where's Leonard?""In the tub. Playing."
★LEONA★"Can we go have dinner now? I'm starving." Katherine smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.Her cat eyes settled on me for the first time and she smirked. I did the silliest thing and smirked back.When we were walking to the large elongated table, I stepped beside her."Who really do you want to expose, Kathy?" I whispered.She scowled at me but didn't say anything. Why's she not retaliating?"Answer me, Kathy. You threw that challenge.""You heard me, Leona Grande. Stop taunting me unnecessarily." She seethed and stopped walking."Carry on Kim." She said to Dave's mom and she left."Now this is the Kathy I know." I tapped on my purse and pouted my lips."What do you want?""I just want to know who you'd like to expose. You and I know that your daughter is a fucking bastard so what exactly do you want to do?""So he told you." She nodded quietly."Why wouldn't he? The dude loves me and I won't hesitate to tell Mrs. Anosova if you try to prove my son illegiti
★LEONA★My inexplicable happiness rolled on as Kimberly introduced me to her friends and relatives. My mind was still reeling in my engagement to Dave that I paid less attention to the introduction Kimberly was doing. My thumb kept rolling on the shimmering object on my middle finger. I haven't taken a proper look at it yet.I didn't expect Dave to do something like that and if it were to be a week back, I would've said no to him point-blank. Well, I could've still done it because marriage and settling are the least things in my mind now. I mean how can one think of marriage when there is death probably lurking somewhere in a corner?.All the same, I know all my fears will happen some way or the other so why not give him some Joy when things seem like they're calm now? Until whatever that will come comes, I will continue to do whatever will make him happy. I will live in the moment and make the best out of it.Katherine complained of a headache when she was stopped
★LEONA★His lips curved into a smile then he began to laugh.Oh no!Has he lost it?God, please let it not be it. He promised to help me and now he got mad just by hearing of the disappearance of our dear ones. How will I handle my mad fiance and a psychopath Lando? And how will I rescue my people when I don't even know my way around this city?Oh, Lord! How many tribulations shall I face? I looked up to the heavens before walking to Dave."Are you out of your mind for real? That's why you're laughing right? I heard that's how madness begins but before you start taking your things off, I need to take you back inside so that your parents will lock you…""What are you saying Leo? I am not mad." He laughed."That's what all mad people say. They claim not to be mad but they are. I'm so sorry. I didn't know this is going to affect you this way." I cried. I can't believe Dave has suddenly gone mad."I'm not mad Leo. Now stop crying.""No, you are! You laughed. Who laug
