He directed her to a table set for two. She sat down and he sat opposite her. He brought out the contract he prepared and handed her her copy. Her lawyer arrived and they both went through it and it was perfect, exactly how she wanted it. The contract had three conditions. The first condition is that; They are to pretend to be a real couple in the public eye. The second one is that; They are not to meddle in each other's life except if it is related to their fake relationship. The last one is that; they must not fall in love with each other. She studied it thoroughly together with the NDA. The contract conditions were exactly what she needed. The duration of the contract is one year. After both of their lawyers confirmed there was no risk, they both signed the contract and the NDA provided by Leonardo. He put his own copies into a briefcase and she put her own into her clutch bag, her lawyer took his own copy. She had a light private dinner with him. He informed her that they must sh
Prior to the release of her and Leonardo's relationship status, she phoned her father about it. She did not tell him about the contract or how it was for only the public eye. However, she told her father the same story that Leonardo's PR team told her. Surprisingly, he believed her. He was happy that she had left Brandon a long time ago. He also wanted to meet with Leo personally.The media took the news better than she had expected and the hatred turned to Alexa Riley instead. People called Alexa a liar and an attention seeker. She lost a lot of followers on all her social media accounts and paparazzi were now camping at her doorstep. The picture that she and Leo had taken the night before, was released to the media, including the kiss and people gushed about how good they looked together. Now they were officially an engaged couple. At least for the public eyes only. Her doorbell rang and she went to check who it was and it was Julie. Immediately she opened the door, Julie stormed
"Goodbye." She waved to Julie who was sitting behind her desk. "Don't stay out late. Make sure to go home early.""Alright, mate. I will." Julie waved back.She came out of her building and Leonardo was waiting for her in a silver sports car. He looked so dashing and handsome in his suit. When he saw her approaching, he smiled sweetly moved forward to her, and kissed her cheek, she smiled up at him. Since they announced their relationship, the attention had been on them and paparazzi had suddenly taken interest in her day-to-day life. He took her bag from her and opened the car so she could enter, she settled inside the car. He rounded the car and entered the car, the engine of the sports car roared to life. Leo had decided that they continue their act especially when in public because people needed more proof and she agreed of course."How was work?" Leo asked her when they were on the road."Work is good. How is yours?" "Mine is good too." It was still a bit awkward between them. "
"Are you hurt?" He asked with a worried face. Leo left Brandon at came to her."No. I'm fine. He did not hit me." She searched his face, Brandon did not hit him and he looked fine. "What about him? I think he needs to go to the hospital."He glanced at Brandon on the floor still groaning in pain. "I will take him to the hospital. First, let's get you out of this place and somewhere safe." She took her hand and led her away. After they entered his car, he made a call. She did not hear what he was saying as he was speaking in rapid Italian but she could guess he was referring to Brandon.Throughout the drive, his hand clenched the steering wheel and his face was hard. They arrived at an iron-wrought gate. The automatic gate opened and the car entered, speeding through the long driveway way that was lined by the side with cypress trees. The car parked in front of a large mansion and she realized that he brought her to his house. Her head turned to him and he was already getting out of th
The rest of the days passed in a blur and it was the day she was meant to travel with Leo on his business trip. After that day, she and Leo both went their separate ways, she went back to her house and there was no trace of what had happened the previous day. They occasionally met in public so that the public will know that they are together. She stepped into Leonardo's private jet, and Leo was following her from behind. The crew greeted them both and they settled down on their seats. The cabin crew disappeared into the back of the plane after informing them that the plane would soon take off. They buckled themselves and the jet took off from the tarmac. Once the jet was up in the sky Leo unbuckled his belt and stood up."I am going to get some work done, inform the flight attendant if you need anything.""Alright, I also want to work." He disappeared into the master's bedroom. After a few hours, the jet had landed and they were on the way to their hotel. "We have to stay in the sam
Her hand wrapped around his neck and she pressed herself closer to him than she already was. His hand moved to the back of her head angling it so he could have better access to her mouth. The kiss was so deep and needy, she moaned into his mouth. Her hands moved into his shirt, caressing his hard muscular chest. Leo groaned deeply. He broke the kiss, lifted his shirt over his head, and threw it on the floor, he drew her back to him, resuming the kiss. His hand moved to her butt and he grabbed it in his large hands and ground his erection against her. The act made the both of them groan. "Leo..." She gasped."What do you want Cara?" His husky voice make her wet the more."You. I want you, Leo." One of his hands moved to the straps of her dress and he eased it down, he did the same for the other one. The silk dress fell to her feet, her hand moved to her breast and she covered it."Don't. I want to see you." He eased her hands away from her breast and the look in his eyes almost made
Megan's eyes fluttered open, the room was bright. She stretched and then sat up, Leo was on the armed cushion in the room, and his laptop was on his lap, when he saw she had woken up, he kept the cup of whatever he was drinking on the small table beside the chair and closed the laptop."You are awake. I thought you were not ready to wake up at this point." His voice was so deep. He stood up and sat beside her on the bed. "We have a busy day ahead. First, you must eat your breakfast." He handed her a tray of food, there was a single red rose by the side and a note. Her eyes went to his face and he gestured to the note. She opened it and read it. It was a handwritten short note from him apologizing about last night. She took the rose and smelt it, it was fragrance-filled."Thank you, Leo. You did not have to apologize, I understand you a bit.""Still, I must." On the tray were pancakes topped with maple syrup, a bowl of strawberries, a cup of coffee latte, and vanilla cookies. She too
Leo helped her out of the white Limo he had hired for that night. Other luxurious cars surrounded the area. It was indeed a grand event that was happening. Leo told her it was a one-time annual event where all the renowned and famous opera singers in Italy come together to perform. The grand opera house stood before them, its ornate facade and towering columns a testament to the artistic grandeur of Italy. Teatro Alla Scala was the best-known opera house in Italy. She had heard of it, but it was the first time she was beholding the grand opulence. Together they headed inside. The women were adorned in lovely dresses and ball gowns, their gowns flowing behind them in an array of beautiful colors. Diamonds and pearls adorned their necks, wrists, and ears. The men, in tailored tuxedos, exuded an air of refined elegance. They moved with confidence. Many eyes glanced their way, some women looked at her with envy while some men gazed at her with lewd eyes and some with lust. As if noticing
