*****Leo POV*****Owen is still unconscious when I leave the hospital. Wendy is so upset with me she does not even acknowledge my goodbye when I leave. I make some arrangements before taking Wesley to the penthouse. Both Niki and Luca are really shocked when they see whom I came back with. Niki’s reaction is worse than I expected when she realises what is happening. It is safe to say that whatever was between us and everything we shared in the past two days is definitely over. I guess it was never going to work out but this is not how I would have preferred for it to end. It takes a lot of courage for me not to react when Wesley grabs and pulls her hair like that. I can tell that he is testing me. I keep myself in check and constantly remind myself why I made a deal in the first place. I hope Niki understands. She would have probably done the same thing if this was her brother. “Boss,”Luca calls to me when Wesley exits the door with Niki. “Shut up and check what’s in this,” I say a
*****Leo POV*****Two days later….The whole country is in chaos with every convicted criminal appealing their sentence and accusing the feds of tampering with the evidence. The government has distanced itself from any ploy to setup the mafia. The minister of police initially refutes any allegations that he was involved but he can’t explain himself when the photographs of him with a supposedly dead Kate are leaked to the media. He is fired with immediate effect and arrested for corruption and defeating the ends of justice, but I don’t believe it for a minute that the presidency had nothing to do with this. The more the journalist dig into the matter, the more information gets revealed but the biggest one is why detective Solomon, the country’s top detective, resigned days before Owen’s arrest. Detective Solomon does not hide his desire to eliminate crime and the mafia but he would not get his reputation and hands dirty by faking the evidence. That’s why he resigned as soon as he dis
*****Leo POV*****Ten days later in Lilly town. There is no sign of Niki. Her room is deserted, not even maids walk in it. I have spent hours staring at the spyglass screen. I can feel the nothingness of the room that once held the passionate, unreasonable and defiant, drop-dead gorgeous obsession of mine engulf me. She trusted me, gave me her virtue. I can still smell her scent around me. The way her arms and legs effortlessly wrapped around me. How her core gripped and welcomed every inch of my cock. It’s been ten days since we made out in the elevator but her dried out fluids still coat my dick. I just can’t get myself to wash it off. It’s a memory of her I am trying to hang on to. I still have not sleep since. I see her blazing eyes every time I close my eyes. I stood there and watched Wesley drag her out. I grab my sideboard clock and smash it across the wall and my door opens. Owen walks in and inspects my upside down bedroom before stepping over the glass pieces remnants of
*****Nikita POV*****Leap is a beautiful country ruled by a monarch. It has mostly very friendly diverse people who have very strong mythological beliefs, especially when it comes to love. The Leap citizens absolutely adore their royals and rugby. It’s been six months now and I can safely say, I love it here. I get out of a cab and run fast towards the five storey building that has become my workplace for the past four months. Kita Brown is a law abiding citizen, a low profile model who works hard for her money and actually has friends. Two best friends to be exact. I have no guards, I no longer look behind my back to see if someone is following me. I absolutely love my life here. “Hold the lift!” I shout my lungs out and squeeze my body inside the packed lift. I let out a sigh of relief and pat myself on the back. I am only five minutes late today, that’s progress. “You are late, again, Kita,” Mr West says the moment I walk in our boardroom. “Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir,”I say, breathl
*****Leo POV*****“What do you mean nothing? It’s been ten months! What the fuck am I paying you for?” I yell at Luca over the phone. He and half of our men have been gone for that long. Their traveling fares, accommodation and meals have costed me over a billion dollars already but there’s nothing to show for it. I am tired of hearing the same damn report every month. “Leo,” Owen calls me softly. He thinks I am being hard on everyone. “It’s really hard when we have no idea what identity she’s using and which continent she ended up in, Sir,” Luca explains. “I don’t care about any of that. Find her!” I yell. I am so frustrated, I just can’t help it. “We will keep looking, Sir,” he responds and Owen shakes his head at me. “Do that!”The past ten months have been a rollercoaster for me. I never thought Niki’s absence would hit me this hard. The fact that I betrayed her still keeps me awake at night. The only good thing is that her father does not seem bothered by us anymore. The tw
~~Two months later~~*****Leo POV*****Lilly town in Asherway Two months has passed since I found out where Niki is. I thought that knowing where she is would at least make me feel better, but I was wrong. I am going crazier now than before. That’s why I am executing the most stupid abduction in the history of DBS emperors. Niki is having too much fun in Leap but I know how much she loves her father. Nick is the only person she will return willingly for. I am going to force her to.Owen has tried talking me out of it but this is the only way. Getting off the car, I head straight to the Davi graves. Nick is so confident in his abilities that he does not even have a guard around. My luck. “Booi,” he says without turning his head to look at me. He does not sound the least surprised that I am here.“Let’s go,” I say and point a gun at him. He gets up without saying a word and walks in front of me. This is too easy. This is the mighty Nick Davi. The boggy man who terrified our childho
*****Nikita POV*****~~In a monarch country of Leap~~“Where the heck have you been?”Rebecca, Colton and I exchange looks. We were all hit really hard by the old man’s sudden death from a heart attack. Barely a month since his death the young Mr West has pushed everyone to the limit. More than twenty employees have already quit and we are also seriously considering it. Everyone now appreciates just how cool of a boss his old man was. Unfortunately, his son did not inherit any of his good leadership and communication skills. “We went out for lunch, Sir,” Colton responds. “And who the fuck gave you that permission?” Mr West yells. Other employees peep to see who is been shouting at this time. Every single one has had their fair share of his yelling. “We finished our work early and it was lunchtime,”I respond and intentionally leave the Sir part. I will only show respect when earned, boss or not, this man does not deserve any of it. “Your working hours are 8 to 4, that’s when your da
*****Nikita POV*****Hunter and over fifty of our men walk in and fill up the reception area. All in black with leather coats and gloves, mean looking and heavily armed, they claim the space and own it. All the company employees are now out of their offices watching and our stupid boss is literally shaking. I get off my seat and they all simultaneously go down on one knee and bow their heads. Shit! Now I look like a real mafia boss.I walk towards them and stop in front of Hunter with a sinking heart. The fact that they are here kneeling in front of me means that Leo was telling the truth. Father is no more. “Speak.”“Your father was executed yesterday,” Hunter says. I don’t fall apart. The pre- warning Leo gave me and that brief period of recollecting myself was a blessing. The worse thing I can ever do is break down now in front of these men who are now under my command. “Who did it?” My voice is calmer than I feel. I want to scream and tear everything down. Hunter shakes his
