Irene 'Feel free to look around, I'll just send something quickly from my office.' 4 I nodded, and Leo rushed down a hallway, disappearing into a door while I tried to keep my jaw from meeting the ground. When he had said he lived in an apartment, I wasn't expecting a huge two story penthouse in one of the highest buildings in the city. But then again, for a person who was worth millions, living in a place like this did make sense. And I really shouldn't have been surprised since his parents literally liv

Irene. The next morning, my mood plummeted to the ground. It was as if life had decided that I wasn't worthy of being happy for an extended period of time. I woke up early to make breakfast for Jim since he had school. When he didn't wake up by the time he had to, I knocked on his door. When he didn't open the door, I walked straight in. The curtains were drawn, basking his small room in different shades of gray. I drew back the curtains then turned to his sleeping form on the bed. His comforter was pulled all the way up, covering his head. "Jim, you're gonna be late. Wake up."

LeoThe private jet landed after an agonizing eight hours flight. The weather in London was colder than back home. The gray sky greeted us from the moment we landed."What's the schedule, Brandon?" I asked my assistant as we walked inside a special section of the airport."A meeting with the board here in London at two thirty. Then a tour in the new resort at five o'clock. You're free after that for the rest of the day until the Foxwell's anniversary event at eight PM.""Good," I said nodding in thanks to the man who opened the car door and stepped inside, "let's go grab lunch first.""I made a reservation for three in the hotel's restaurant," Brandon said, tapping on his tablet as he sat down in

LeoIrene cried for what seemed like an eternity. Her cries slowly subsided and her sobs quieted down until only hiccups and low gasps escaped her lips.1I pulled away and looked down at her. What I saw made me wish she would go back to crying her emotions out.Fear, guilt and self-blame filled her eyes. They turned hollow, empty.I framed her face with my hands, brushing away the tears. I knew whatever I said wouldn't matter. At least not now."I'll call the doctor, okay? She needs to look at you."She nodded, then winced when I helped her lay back. I raised the head of the bed, then pushed the nurse call button.A nurse ca

Leo"She's still in a sensitive state, so I'm going to ask you to keep your questions to the bare minimum" Dr. Miller said, fixing the two detectives with a hard look.Jayden was inside with Irene while I spoke with the doctor and the detectives outside her door. Jayden's friend, detective Jordan Garcia, nodded in understanding. His dark brown eyes shifted to me in plain curiosity. He seemed like a reasonable person.I had to keep my arms crossed to keep myself from punching the other detective, though. I didn't like him, and I knew to trust my instincts. In his mid twenties, with blond hair slicked back and haughty gray eyes, detective Wilson seemed cocky, especially after the way he turned up his nose at the doctor's order.

Leo"Hand over your camera," the bodyguard said, while holding the stranger's arm.The man, who I assumed now was a reporter, looked like a deer caught in headlights. I had just noticed the bag he was holding in his hand, a lens was peeking out of a gap in the side of the bag, pointed right at us.I pushed a confused Irene out as the reporter stuttered excuses while trying to pull his arm out of the bodyguard's grasp. I looked at the bodyguard."I'll take care of it," the bodyguard nodded, "you can go ahead.""Alright, thank you.""Wait," the senseless reporter called, attracting unwanted attention from the nurses and other patients lingering in the hallways, "Mr. Brownings
