Leah pressed the loudspeaker button, letting Adrian listen to the information from Mr. Barnes.
"Damn it! How could I not be aware of this situation!" Adrian clenched his weak fists. Leah pressed the red button on her cellphone, ended the call from Mr. Barnes.Mr. Barnes said that Damien was involved in many of the crimes that Jerome committed. He found some flow of funds between them. But that's not what surprised them. Rather it was a fact that Venetia and Damien were lovers and both worked for Jerome."When do you think things started between them?" asked Leah, confused. "I don't know, maybe before our meeting in Paris a few months ago, they were both really pain in the ass!" anger still filled Adrian's mind.Leah sighed,"Take a deep breath, don't be too tense, it will affect your health," she said, stroking Adrian's hand gently. "Leah, let Mr. Barnes take care of everything, don't do anything that will put your life in danger, doLeah knocked on Vivian's wardrobe door three times, as soon as the door opened Vivian hug her tightly. "Congratulation!" she whispered. Leah stunned, "How do you know? We haven't told you anything but thank you..." mumbled Leah lightly. "Mia told me already, she knew you were pregnant even before you did the pregnancy test," said Vivian walking ahead Leah.Leah giggled, "That's weird, what made her so sure about it?" she looked around the wardrobe, still not understand why Vivian wanted her to come. "She said you look different, your face much brighter and..." Vivian hung up his words. "And?" asked Leah, this time more curious. "And it's reminded her of the time when you're pregnant with Beatrice inside your womb..." continue Vivian made Leah stopped her move. Just talking about Beatrice could make her feel sad."Here, I want to show you something!" Vivian jumped on the topic, feeling guilty because she made Leah felt sad. She opened the huge closet and too
"Do you want me to come with you?" offered Adrian when Leah was preparing herself to go downstairs. Leah shook her head, "It's between two long-lost sisters, the bodyguards will be all around me anyway, I have nothing to worry about!" she replied, tried to sound casual even though her heart was pounding so loud deafening her ears."Yeah, you're right, let me know if something happens, I love you!" Adrian kissed Leah's head before she left the bedroom.Nervously, Leah played with her fingers while waiting for the elevator to take her to the first floor where Jessica was waiting. How should she react? What if Jessica came only to throw Leah with her anger because she lost everything after the attorney took over Jerome's property.The elevator clinked open, Leah walked briskly to the guest room. Outside the room, two bodyguards were waiting. "Good afternoon Miss," they greeted Leah as she showed up. Leah smiled nervously, "Where is she?" ask
"I never saw that kind of smile ever since the accident that took half of your memories happened," muttered Adrian while seeing Leah grinning ear to ear watching the preparation of their wedding.Leah laughed, "Yeah, I'm feeling so happy that frightened me sometimes, you know, that kind of feeling when you were scared that the happiness will be taken from you..." she let out the thought that haunted her in the past days. Adrian smiled, he rounded her arms around Leah's, "When you feel happy just be happy! Don't even think about it, God gives God takes, live freely! Something you never did..." said Adrian wisely."Why you sounded like a preacher sometimes," teased Leah, made Adrian laughed. "Life has taught me a lot!" replied him, half-joking. "Yeah, you damn right! We've been through a lot!" yelled Leah, sometimes she didn't believe in their achievements. Months ago they were broken up, and now, not only getting married they were also expecting the ba
"Suzy! You made it!" Leah half-ran to Suzy who looked pretty in her bridesmaid dress. They hugged each other, "Don't cry, it'll ruin all your make-up!" whispered Suzy who knew Leah would be crying out in seconds. "Are you feeling comfortable in that dress?" asked Leah, examining Suzy from head to toe. Suzy nodded, "I kinda feel emotional when the first time I put this dress on my body, it feels strange, you know, I've been wearing a nun's robe for several months, and now I'm feeling like I got my soul back!" Suzy burst into tears."You don't have any idea how much I miss you! Glad to have you back Suze!" said Leah earnestly. Her gaze met Jessica and her chest felt tight. Jessica was busy wiping her tears, she didn't even dare to say Hi to Leah. Leah stepped closer to Jessica, "Thank you for coming, Jess. At least one member of my family came to my wedding..." said Leah sincerely.Jessica couldn't help herself, she hugged Leah then cried out loud. "I'm so so
As the private jet settled on the sky, Leah and Adrian unbuckled their seat belt impatiently."May I?" asked Adrian, gesturing to unzipped Leah's wedding dress. Leah nodded her head, passionately. Adrian's hand started to unzip Leah's dress, leaving Leah all naked.Without words, they both ran to each other and kissed. Leah's hand opened Adrian's white shirt, she kissed his broad chest down while Adrian grabbing her hair softly and let out a soft sighed from his mouth.She unzipped his pants impatiently and buried her face in between his thighs made Adrian moaned in lust. Adrian stretched out his hand and pull Leah up. He turned her body to face the window which gave them the midnight cloud scene. Then Adrian started to penetrate from behind, giving Leah pleasure. Leah put her hands on the glass window and moaning softly, she didn't want the flight attendants to hear their noises.Had not enough with the position, Adrian lied on the be
"Hi, Baby, bonjour! How do you feel?" Adrian touched Leah's cheek softly. Leah opened her eyes, she smiled, "I'm feeling better..." she answered turned her face to Adrian who sighed a sigh of relief. Last night was pretty tense and Adrian was so worried about it. But her mom told her that Leah had that pregnancy hormones thing which involved in all her moods, so Vivian guessed that Leah would get better in the morning and her guessing was right."Breakfast!" Adrian pulled the trolley closer to the bed. Leah frowned, "You don't have to do this, I can walk myself to the dining room," she said. Adrian grinned, "I wanted to serve you like this, at least once every week, you don't mind right?" teased Adrian touching Leah's chin. "Wow, I'm the luckiest woman on the planet!" exclaimed Leah, she grabbed the orange juice and sipped it slowly."So, when will we go back to NYC?" asked Leah, her eyes scanning all the food on the trolley and decided to pick a warm crois
"So who's that Lily from Shanghai?" teased Leah after Adrian shut her phone. Adrian laughed, "She was just a friend I met a long time ago, she said she read the news about my marriage, and congratulate me that's all," said Adrian casually. "Ohh I see," replied her tried not to sound jealous."So, we're going to stay in the room at 65 floors until our house is ready to use, you don't mind, right?" asked Adrian, putting back his suits on his body. Leah shrugged, "I can sleep anywhere as long as it's not a pigsty," joked Leah made Adrian chuckled.*****They walked hand in hand inside the store, arguing about which sofa was better. They finished shopping after 5 hours and repeated that same activity in the whole week. Adrian intentionally accompanied Leah until their house was ready. He didn't want Leah to be too tired handling their new house.Today they had an appointment to meet Dr. Phillips, the obstetrician from Granny's
Leah entered the Penthouse, she tried to think of something else, but her mind kept going back to Adrian and the oriental woman at the Chinese restaurant earlier. Should she just call Adrian so she doesn't feel suspicious?Finally, Leah dialed Adrian's number, which had just been picked up after the fourth ring."Yes baby?" said Adrian straightforwardly."What time are you coming home?" Leah asked carefully."Probably in two hours, what's wrong honey?" he asked hastily. Leah bit her lip, looking for an excuse."Leah?""Umm I'm in the mood for Chinese food, I didn't have time to buy it when I went out," Leah finally found an excuse to provoke Adrian, to tell the truth."Okay! I'll buy it for you, I'll hang up the phone, okay, my client has come, love you!" chirped Adrian, not long after the call ended.Leah closed her eyes, dispelling the suspicion that had filled her head. Surely Adrian will tell her later, she didn't need to b
