"What's up Ad? Did something happen?" asked Leah who was surprised at Adrian's reaction after receiving a call from his mother. "Mia was kidnapped!" replied Adrian, his hands busy picking up his clothes that were scattered on the floor one by one and then wearing them at lightning speed.
Leah stood her body with a tense face, "Kidnapped?"
Leah's mind went straight to Jerome, what if it turned out that Jerome kidnapped Mia, didn't that mean Leah was the cause of all this chaos."Leah, I have to get to Bethesda, you can stay here for a while, I'll be right back I promise," said Adrian, he puts his black credit card on the nightstand, "Use my card if you want to buy something, I'll send a bodyguard to look after you, until the bodyguard comes, don't come out of the hotel room. I'm leaving!" Adrian quickly passed from the room with a panicked face, he doesn't even have time to listen when Leah said that she wanted to help
After she paid the bill, Leah followed Yuri to the staff room. She changed her clothes with the other clothes that were purchased by Yuri earlier, Leah also wore a wig to trick anyone who might be following her. Moments later, Leah was ready in black leather pants, a matching turtle neck top, and a fairly bright mahogany red wig. She also wore large round glasses, to disguise her face."The cellphone and everything you ordered is in here," Yuri held out a small black leather backpack to Leah. Leah hurriedly wore the backpack, she patted Yuri's shoulder warmly, "Thank you very much, Yuri, if anyone is looking for me, just answer that you didn’t know anything I will not forget your kindness!" exclaimed Leah then rushed past from the staff room to the hallway that will take her out of the hotel building to the employee
As Leah stepped into the Penthouse, she felt like a rock weighing down her footsteps. It was like a hell for Leah, it was the last place she wanted to visit in the world.Jerome snatched Leah's handbag and threw it onto the floor, Leah stood still, did not comment. She counted in her heart, didn’t know at what count Jerome would begin to torture her. Leah's outstretched hand held a black hairpin pinned to her hair, ensuring it was heading in the right direction. Leah stood still near the dining table chair, her fist clenched behind her back. "Sit down!" snapped Jerome, his eyes staring at Leah coldly and sharply. Leah didn't argue, she pulled up a dining chair and sat on it with her back straight. Leah's eyes never once turned away from Jerome's face, hatred filled her chest space.
Jerome put his clothes back on with anger, "Don't make a sound!" hissed him while covering Leah's mouth with duct tape. Leah closed her eyes, hoping the visitors who came were the ones she expected. She prayed in her heart, hoping this time God would release her from a terrible creature like Jerome.Leah counted silently in her head, a few minutes later, a faint scream was heard from a distance. Shortly afterward, the door of the torture chamber was wide open and several people went inside."Leah!" shouted Adrian as he ran towards Leah. Frantically he looked for a cloth to cover Leah's half-naked body. Behind Adrian, several men in police uniforms appear to be taking pictures of every corner of the room and checking the presence of surveillance cameras, although Leah has prepared a surveillance camera that she pinned on the clamp of her black hair."All is good Leah, all is good..." Adrian whispers, his hands untied Leah's han
"I'll leave you two," said Adrian, he adjusted Leah's blanket and left the room. Chloe nodded her head, thanking Adrian for giving her the space to talk to Leah."I'm sorry Leah, Jerome has promised me not to beat you again, that's why I finally accepted the offer," said Chloe breaking the silence between them. Leah didn't say anything, she didn't know why Chloe had suddenly come and apologized after what she had done to Leah. "I know you must be very disappointed in me, but it wasn’t only me! Caitlin and Jason, they also accepted Jerome's offer," Chloe mumbled hoping to say something like that would make Leah understand the situation."I thought so," Leah said quietly, her jaw still aching. Chloe touched Leah's hand, "You know how t
“Good morning gorgeous!” said Adrian when he saw Leah who had just woken up from her sleep. Leah smiled broadly, "Good morning handsome," replied Leah. She propped her head, watching Adrian who was busy drying his hair with a towel. "Why are you showering so early?" asked Leah curiously. Adrian stopped his hand, then threw himself on the edge of the bed. He reached out his hand to gently stroke Leah's hair, "Today we have a press conference agenda, did you forget about it?" asked Adrian softly, he didn't want to make Leah tense and nervous. Leah's eyes widened, she bit her lip and hurried to her feet. "Oh, my God! I totally forgot! I will prepare myself now! Why didn't you wake me up!" cried Leah frantically. Adrian chuckled, "Take it easy, the press conference is still three hours away, take your time," said Adrian, winking at Leah.
"Jessica! Stop!" Leah managed to grab Jessica's denim jacket even though in the end they both fell on the sidewalk. Leah ignored her aching body, she didn't let go of her grip on Jessica's jacket. "Leah, let me go! I have to leave!" Jessica snapped, trying to shake Leah's hand off her jacket. But Leah still didn't want to let go of her hand, while Adrian, who was trying to chase Leah, was even hindered by reporters who suddenly surrounded him because there was one reporter who yelled out of nowhere and said that Adrian was Leah's secret affair."Don't leave me, Jess! Explain to me what happened to you?!” Leah asked, struggling to get to her feet. Jessica looked at Leah with a look that Leah couldn't understand, "Listen to me carefully, if you still care about me, forget about your plan to expose about tax evasion, fictitious companies, and money laundering that Jerome did!" Jessica s
"Is there a schedule for the first trial?"Leah asked Donna, they were at the cafe on the ground floor of the Adrian Parker Law Firm. Donna nodded her head, "Yup, next week, we have all the materials ready. Umm Leah, are you ready to testify?" Donna asked very carefully.Leah took a deep breath, she nodded slowly, "Do you think Jerome will get away with all of this?"Leah's voice sounded very halfhearted, she stared blankly at the people passing by in front of them."Of course! There's no reason for us to lose this time. Leah, you've been through a lot, now it's time for you to live freely," Donna put her hand on top of Leah's. Leah puffed out her cheeks, then turned to Donna, "How long is he going to be in prison?"Donna tilted her head, "Hmmm 15 days to 15 years in prison, for your case maybe 3 years," Donna answered somewhat unsure. Leah gasped, "Then when he's free he'll interfere with my life again," muttered Leah, realiz
"Are you sure this is the place?" asked Adrian, his eyes staring at the all-white building in front of them with doubtful eyes. Leah bit her lip, contemplating, a few moments later she unbuckled her seatbelt confidently. "I'm sure Suzy is in there," said Leah, her hand moving to open the car door. Adrian shrugged his shoulders, "If you think so, let's go in and find out!" said Adrian as he turned off the car engine.They walked side by side from the parking lot to the main lobby, Leah's eyes fell on the sign 'Santa Maria Mental Hospital' which was plastered large across the front of the building. Suddenly fear overtook her. Seeing Leah's pale face, Adrian rushed to take her hand. "Leah, are you sure you want to go inside?" asked Adrian, worried about Leah's mental state. Leah nodded confidently, "Yeah, I'm going in," she said quietly.In the empty lobby, they were greeted by a reception desk manned by two nuns. "God bless you, is there anything we can help?
