Kiara remained still on the bed without making a movement while Leo had his hands wrapped around her body with his eyes closed. He wasn't really asleep because he had a lot to think about.Leo opened his eyes a few minutes afterwards, and continued to stare at the ceiling. His mind has been coupled with the thought of Alejandro while his eyes were shut, and he just didn't want to believe that Alejandro would end up betraying him just like Micheal had warned or had been suspecting for months now.They were old time friends, so most times he saw Micheal's suspicions as jealousy and a means to want to take Alejandro out of the way.Now that a key was missing, Leo had no idea what to think, but he inwardly hoped that it wouldn't be Alejandro because he still very much liked his childhood friends, especially because they had both been through a lot and Alejandro had been there when his mother was going through a lot in the last.She always called him her son as well and always wanted them
Sebastian got back to the house, and surprisingly, Talia was preparing to go somewhere. "Are you still angry?" He questioned, but she ignored him completely and continued staring at her phone.Sebastian took a few steps closer to her."I'm sorry about earlier, Talia."Talia shifted her gaze to him, and heaved deeply. There was no use trying to stay mad at Sebastian because he was only trying to protect her. She did understand that, but Talia wanted him to believe in her. She wanted him to believe that she was damn fucking stronger then what he imagined her to be"Trust me, Sebastian. I'm not that weakling anymore. I sacrificed a lot to be here and I know what I want.""I understand." Sebastian nodded his head. "Are you heading somewhere?" He questioned"I wanna go see Nathan today. I have no idea why, but I just wanna be with him today." Natalia said. She was expecting Sebastian to tell her otherwise or make her understand that going to see Nathan was something that she could do quite
"Nathan! Nathan, can you see me? Can you hear me, Nathan? Please say something, say just one more word." Natalia repeatedly kept saying. Because Nathan wasn't saying anything, she was scared that she must have heard wrong."Your eyes are open, but why aren't you saying anything? You can talk right?"He nodded his head."I can't move, Natalia."Talia took a deep breath in when she heard him again. It was such a relief that he spoke, and it made tears roll down her eyes uncontrollably as she held his hand. "Oh God, thank you. Thank you so much, Nathan. Thank you for fighting so hard to stay alive– oh God, I can't–" She turned around so he wouldn't see her endless tears of joy."Are you alright?" Talia heard Nathan say in a low voice. She nodded her head repeatedly, trying so hard to control her tears but it seemed impossible. After six fucking months, he was finally staring at her. She had thought it would be impossible, but it wasn'tShe always knew Nathan to be a fighter, and he prove
Bryan took a deep breath in. He had been staring at the wall the entire time and thinking about his next move. Not only that, he needed to move things further and prove to Sasha that Taylor was the woman he loved and wanted to spend his life with.Bryan had realized how foolish he was, and seeing his kids once again brought him back to his senses completely. They were all people that he couldn't afford to lose for anything in the entire world."I wanna propose to Taylor, Alexander." Alexander had been busy on his phone when he heard Bryan the first time, but he didn't say anything because he thought he must have heard wrong or that Bryan was lying to him."Did you hear me Alex?""I didn't Bryan" Alexander replied and dropped the pen he was holding. He raised his head and gazed at Bryan with an eye that told Bryan he definitely didn't like the plan."What's wrong?""More than anyone in this world, I know you, Bryan. It's even going to surprise you that I know you way better than Taylo
As soon as the meeting ended, Taylor heaved deeply. It had really been a long day already and she badly wanted to go back home to her kids and Bryan.She wanted to rest on his legs and tell him how stressful work was at the office. Not only that, she wanted his comfort, to feel his touch, and hear his voice.After Taylor had brought back her kids home, it seemed to her like they were all grown up now. Last night, Kylie had asked about Natalia, and Taylor had to lie that Talia was in someplace happy but she missed them so much as well.Taylor picked her bag from the table, "Thank you so much gentlemen and ladies, I hope you all have a nice day ahead." She said with a sincere smile, lowered her head in respect and began to walk away. While doing all of these, Taylor didn't fail to recognize the smile on Sasha face throughout the meeting. The lady had been looking at her like she stole something or rather too strangely.Taylor had taken a deep breath in.Sasha was part of her shareholder
"I need a copy of everything you've got, and send the photos to me as well." Alexander replied and ended the call immediately. Once he was done, he went straight to his inbox to check some of the photos that had been sent to him earlier."What a fucking slut." Alexander commented with a scoff escaping his lips as she continued to stare at the photos. A few minutes later, it was time to go back in.A few days ago, Alexander had requested a secret thorough check on Sasha, and he had to do it without Bryan's knowledge. Now, he was close to getting what information he badly wanted and maybe that would be enough to make Sasha stay off Bryan's path for good and ensure he lives while trying to make it up to Taylor.Alexander walked right back in to meet Bryan still seated on the table, but even more nervous than he had left him the first time. He chuckled and shook his head in a unbelievable manner."Hey man, stop being so tense already. I told you, you're gonna do great, so put on a smile
Bryan was quite even after hearing Sasha because he just couldn't gather the word in his mind. He wanted to believe it was all a fucking joke, and that the man who killed Taylor's father wasn't dead.Damn, why the hell was he dead?"W…what? What did you just say?""You heard me right, Bryan. Mr Mercidi is dead."Bryan wanted to yell out loud, but he held it in. His eyes had turned bloody red because he was damn angry right now. "How? How did that bastard die? How dare he die?""Hey, take it easy, what are we gonna do now?""There's no you in this game anymore Sasha, it's just me so stay off like I said to you earlier. I never want to see your face." Bryan replied and immediately ended the call.The only place he could stare at right now was into thin air with a lot running through his mind. Damn, there was meant to be a public confession in the end, and most importantly, he badly wanted to expose the secrets of their family. "Damn!" Bryan yelled out loud, throwing his phone and shatte
Taylor chuckled, still finding it hard to believe what was right in front of her. A ring, and the man of her dreams on one knee proposing to her.Taking a deep breath in and out, Taylor replied, "I will Bryan, I'll marry you." Happily, Bryan rose to his feet and pulled Taylor into a tight embrace. He really couldn't believe that she had just agreed to get married to him because he was probably expecting her to ask for more time before their day would come."Thank you. Thank you so much for choosing me, Taylor.""I'll always choose you, Bryan. I'll always love you too."Suddenly, there was this sense of guilt that hit Bryan. Although Bryan had not recognized it earlier, with Taylor's words and innocence, he just couldn't help but feel it strongly.He had been lying to her and trying to protect her. Not only that, he had also cheated on her. Bryan was scared. What if he told her every fucking thing and Taylor ends up leaving him for good this time or she ends up unable to ever forgive
