For days, Kylie wondered why Rex did that to her. Why he called her to show up at the club and ended up not coming.
It was all because of him she got such humiliation. If not for Leo,she might have even be molested that night.
And speaking of Leo,his current attitude towards her was surprising. He was all nice and lovely especially in the presence of her mother.
Yeah right. That was the reason he was nice. Her mother was still around and despite the fact that she hated it due to the inconveniences she had with Leo,she kinda liked it too because of Sheila.
Her mother was caring for the baby more than she expected. It was like she had always wanted a second child but only got one.
Kylie was finishing the final touch of her make up when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw the caller ID. Leo.
"Yes?" She said after the second ring.
"You're still home?" He asked.
"Yes. Heading to the office in about thirty minutes. Why?" She ask
The D-Day finally arrived. The London's Broadway's high fashion and for the first time,Kylie was nervous about it. There was a good competitor on the block, Roselle. She was quite a cheat but yet still good."You should take in deep breaths." Leo said behind her as she stared at herself in the vanity mirror."I am Leo. Can't you see I am?" She retorted taking in deep breaths.He went behind her and unclasped her necklace and she gasped. "What was that for?" She asked him.He didn't respond to her,instead he took the necklace from her neck and picked up another from her collection."For a high fashionista,you sure don't know how to blend your dresses with your necklaces." He said as he clipped the necklace.Kylie stared at herself in the mirror and she accepted his choice was better than hers."So what are you now? A fashion boy?" She asked raising a brow.He chuckled. "Your fashion boy." He said. She stared at him. He was becom
"I'm panicking a lot now Leo. I don't know what to do. If my last model doesn't show out there, it's over for me. All my chances of winning is forfeited." She said out of breath. She was trying her best not to burst into tears."Listen to me Kylie,you can think of something. I know you can." Leo said to her holding her shoulders.She shook her head. "It's all over. The dress is ruined. Roselle has finally got what she wanted." Kylie said in a devastated and defeated tone.Leo walked up to the dress and examined it. He started to rip off some sides of the dress with a scissors."What the bloody hell are you doing?!" Kylie asked alarmed as the rest of team gasped in shock.He paid no attention to her until he was done and then took off the dress from the mannequin and faced her."Go wear it. Be your own model." He said."What?" She asked in shock.He held her arms. "I know you don't trust me but listen to me for once please." He
Leo sat in the comfort of his office going through newspapers about the business world. The latest stock in the market when an headline caught his attention. He read the headline of the newspaper. "KYLIE SHELL PUBLIC DISPLAY FOR HER HUSBAND AT THE BROADWAY." And there was a picture of Kylie blowing him a kiss and also kissing his cheek. The kissing of his cheek he was well aware of but the latter he was not. Staring at the picture,he wondered if she did it for the media just as usual or not. Her expression was saying otherwise. She looked like she meant it but he could not say. She was a pro at acting sweet. He put the paper aside and the next one showed him holding Kylie,he skipped it not wanting to know what details were written there but the next one he could not ignore as the headline boldly wrote, "A BABY SO SOON?" And under it was the most crazy write up he had ever seen with a picture of him and Kylie with the family by the side. The writer won
The days rolled into weeks and weeks into months and Leo was fighting with himself. He had an inner battle with himself and this was about Kylie. The marriage. The undeniable feelings sprouting. Her essence. Her every being. He could no longer resist. He had not expected himself to feel this way for her. It was too soon and despite him denying it,the feelings lingered there. As a man who had never really being in love,he was quite unsure of it. It was only one thing he made clear to himself for now and that was he wanted her. He wanted her so badly that it hurts. He's been a celibate since the idea of getting married to her grew in her mother and his mother's head. He could no longer handle it. He could still remember the long cold shower he takes whenever he caught her naked or thought of her writhing beneath him. He sighed as he signed the last bit of paperwork. He had always prided himself for not mixing work and his personal life together
The sun rays filtered into the room and Leo was forced to stir up from his sleep.He groaned as he lifted his head,a wave of migraine hitting him hard.With his head lowered and his hand on his face,he got to a sitting position muttering to himself.Something was yet to register in his head. He felt like he was forgetting something and just at that moment Kylie's lipstick fell to the ground as she was about to apply it on her lips and the sound caught Leo's attention.She picked up the lipstick and their eyes met and she looked at him with remorse and looked away.That was when it all came to Leo. He looked at her side of the bed and noticed the red stains on it and he vividly remembered everything.Damn! He hurled damnations at himself as he realized he had forced himself on her.What would she think of him now? That he had taken advantage of her? Which he did. He swore.Why couldn't he control what was in between his legs. Why didn't he resist her a
"What are you doing?" She blurted out.He ignored her outburst still smiling as he pulled back a seat for her."Come sit down." He said to her.Slowly with hesitation,she walked towards him and sat down muttering a thank you and he placed a light kiss on her cheek.Kylie's stomach flipped and she pulled away from him.She wondered if he didn't go to work today just to do this.He sat opposite her still smiling. All she wanted to do was ignore him and just stare ridiculously at him but she could not pretend to be oblivious to the strawberry bruschetta sitting in front of her looking so creamy and gosh.. it was her favorite and also was the chicken piccata and she eyed it.How did he know these were are favorites?And like he read her mind, "I've been seeing you tell Nana to make them for you and I did my findings and they turned out accurate." He said.Kylie ignored him and dived into the strawberry bruschetta and moaned
Kylie was holding Sheila in her arms when she got a call from Rex. She placed Sheila in her stroller and picked up the call."Baby girl." He drawled."Really? Am I?" She questioned him."I've messed up a couple of times and I'm sorry about it." He apologized."Sorry? First you didn't show up at the club you asked me to be and then when during the Broadway show,you just disappeared without congratulating me and you never called since then." She said to him."What do you want me to do Kylie? You're married to someone else now and I do try to call you. Do you ever call me?" He demanded turning the tables against her."Rex,I'm sorry.. I," She began to feel guilty.Out of nowhere, Leo snatched her phone from her hand and placed it on loudspeaker."Don't you call this number again. She's now mine." He said and didn't wait to receive an answer as he ended the call."What the heck was that for?" She asked angrily."
"And where are we going?" Kylie asked Leo as soon as they got seated in his private jet. "You'll see." He told her still smiling as he closed his eyes and leaning into the seat. Kylie looked away from him and back to the window as her thoughts raced. Why did she agree to this in this first place? Doesn't she know what it meant to be on a ' just you and I' trip? especially when that ' I' was a male? She was beginning to regret why she agreed. She could have just told him an outright no. What would they be discussing alone? What? She groaned inwardly. This was going to be more torturous than she expected. The plane landed in the airport of the Bahamas and Kylie was surprised. Just few days ago,she had been going through a list of places to take a vacation by the end of the year and she had thought of the Bahamas. Was how he paid attention to every little details? She watched him as he spoke to the pilot. What
