"What are you doing?" Leo asked curiously on hearing the notifications coming into Isabella's phone and how she quickly locked the screen to probably prevent him from seeing what the texts was about. "...""You can't talk?" he posed, giving her a quick glance before looking back on the road. "Nothing, I was just chatting with Jane and she said something embarrassing. I don't want you to see it" she lied with a little stutter and bit her lips in guilt. She'd be dead if he finds out that she just lied to him but then, she can't tell him that she received texts from a group chat with just two people who happens to be guys. Leo glanced at her again to see her head bow as she fidget with the tips of her fingers while her phone was placed on her thigh. He chuckled without saying anything to her, he doesn't know what the chat was about but she'd be more embarrassed if he decides to fuel it. After that, the drive back home was very quiet as none of them spoke to the other. The silence was
Leo balled his hand in a fist as he felt a pang in his chest after seeing the excitement on Isabelle's face. He thought she was beginning to warm up to him but it turns out that he was wrong all along. Isabella didn't like being with him, he knew that he forced her into sleeping on his bed every day but he didn't think she would dislike him that much to be uncomfortable, That was the only thing he could think about.Or is she uncomfortable around him? Why was she so happy to be away from him when he only let her go because he didn't want to distract her from her studies? For him, it was a hard decision to make, he thought about his insomnia knowing that he wouldn't be able to sleep without her on the bed because she was his only antidote. He will have to go back to his normal routine of not being able to sleep and read a book, work, or count the ceilings till it's another day again. Leo's shoulder slumped as his mood changed in a swift and his face turned cold."You can do whatever
With the kind of mood, Leo was in and how he was glaring coldly at his food, the dining table was covered in a pregnant silence with no one saying a single thing because they didn't want to be picked on by him. They know very well to remain quiet whenever he is like this to avoid Leo transferring his aggression to them.Isabella on the other hand did her best to avoid his gaze as she ate her food in haste, not wanting to get hold of his gaze since it would scare her the more but she couldn't help but look up at him. Leo was the first to stand up from the table, he left without finishing his food or saying anything to anyone. Even the guys on the table left out their breaths after he left. Leo was fine a while ago, no one knew why he suddenly became mad at everyone. "Why is the boss so angry? Did we do anything to him?" Adam asked, whispering into her ears which startled her. Leo is not mad at them but at her, she is the one he is mad at. "I don't know" she replied in a low tone an
Leo goggled speechlessly at the petite lady in front of him without knowing what to say after her outburst. He watch as her tears flow down her cheeks without her trying to fake it."I am sorry master, please don't hate me. I will do anything you want me to" Isabella pleaded in tears, she couldn't tell exactly why she was doing this but she also didn't like the way he had been giving her cold shoulders and treating her meanly since yesterday. She bent her head as she fiddled with the tip of her clothes after saying that but the tears didn't stop streaming down her face which made Leo feel some kind of way he couldn't quite explain. He doesn't know why he feels that way by just seeing her cry. It is true that he was mad at her for being overly keen about not sleeping in his room and that made him act up. "I...I..." Isabella tried speaking up but ended up hiccuping. After fighting the impulse for more than five minutes, he pulled her into a hug which made her cry even more. Leo didn
Leo fought the urge to stop himself from going further. If he does anything other than kissing her right now, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He laid down beside her, staring at her with so much admiration. Leo knows that he is getting too involved with her, he knows how dangerous it is to have anyone so close to him yet, he can't stop himself from being with Isabella. She has become an important part of his life, so important that he wants to keep her safe and protect her by all means but being close to her won't be a good thing for her yet, he is being so selfish for his gain. He smoothened her hair with his hand as they both lay on the bed without saying anything to one another, just a comfortable silence between them until he spoke up."I promise not to intrude on your privacy whenever you are studying, I will give you space if that's what you want but I want you by my side as long as you are still here" Leo expressed. Isabella stared at him without saying anything, she
"What?" Leo asked after he didn't understand what Adam meant by his statement. "Mr. Jack wants to have a meeting with you boss, I don't know what it is about exactly" Adam reported while Leo's frown deepened.He doesn't have any business with Isabella's uncle, why would he want to see him just like that? Does he want to tell Leo about Isabella killing someone? "Where is he?" he queried. "He already left boss, he said he would come back tomorrow" "Tell him to come to the bar close by at noon, he shouldn't step his foot into my home again and I also need to get my money back from him" This will be a good thing for Leo, was that old fool thinks he can get away with his five million after collecting it from Isabella? Leo has let him be all this while because he has things in his hand to do. He wasn't going to forgive him for threatening someone in his possession. "Noted boss, is there anything you want me to do for you?" Adam questioned while Leo shook his head. "The manager alread
Leo came out of his car and spotted Jack Grayson seated at the far end of the bar, it was easy to spot him since he wasn't seated amid people but just alone. He walked majestically to the tablet. When Jack saw him, he stood up immediately with a nervous smile on his face. "Good afternoon Sir" he greeted Leo with a bow. If only he had a child, he'd give birth to someone of the same age as Leo but knowing how dangerous he is and the amount of wealth this little boy has, he dare not say anything that will get him angry. Leo sat down without responding to his greetings. He crossed his legs and clutched his hands together before placing them on the table. "Why do you want to see me?" Leo asked straightforwardly. He doesn't have the time to waste here. "Can we huh...order something first?" Jack stuttered, earning a scoff from Leo. "Let's get to why we are here, I don't have the time to stay here and have a drink with you" Leo fired. Jack had to clear his throat immediately as he mulle
"Hi" Jane said with a stutter while waving her hand at Adam. She avoided his gaze and made made to leave immediately. "Are you leaving already? I just came in, hope you are not going because of me" Adam retired and got hold of Jane's hand, stopping her from leaving. "I don't know what you are talking about" she refuted, left his grip and hurried outside the house. "You are making her uncomfortable with the way you are acting Adam, do you want her to stop coming here? You know I can't go to her place" Isabella chipped in after Jane left the living room. "Did I? Maybe I should just have a word with her before she leaves. I was just teasing her, no intention to make her uncomfortable" Adam said. He ran after Jane before Isabella could say anything further. It seems like she will have to give them some time to straighten their problem.With a smile on her face, she went to the kitchen. Jane will probably come to find her when she is ready to leave. Adam was quick enough to hold Jane'
