"WHAT!!" Leo exclaimed, utterly surprised. No matter how happy he was, he just couldn't believe his brother would say such a thing one dayGiving up!! It wasn't in the family's blood.Leo already recalled his mother telling him to be strong, and that there were a lot of challenges in the future. Although he never grew up as bad as his brother, his mother still made sure she taught him how to defend himself and be strong.Leo had no idea what had happened to his mother, but soon afterwards all he knew was that he was brought to his father and he never saw her again.In fact, neither him nor Nathan had even the slightest idea about what happened in the past and why they were separated from each other.Leo wondered why their father was still silent. He was expecting the man to yell, hit Nathan again, and tell him to take back his words, but none of that happened.Nathan too was waiting for a reply from his dad, and he had silently made up his mind that if his dad said no, then he would w
After waiting for about an hour or more, Alexander rose up from the seat he was on and decided to go meet Stella. He couldn't just let her give up so easily, and knowing it was because of him would hurt him everyday. Most Importantly, Stella wasn't even aware of the real truth.He did it just to protect her and ensure she was happy.When Alex got to the entrance of the room, he touched the door knob and tried to open the door but unfortunately, it was locked."Stella, are you alright?"There was no reply from the inside. He knocked on the door again, but there was still no reply."Stella, what's wrong? Open the door, you're making me worried." He called out loud, but still there was no reply. Alexander didn't want to panic, but since she refused to say a word, he was scared something might have happened to her already.He had a spare key somewhere, and when he was about to turn to leave, he heard the sound of the door knob.Stella stood at the entrance staring at him after she opened
Luckily, Talia didn't hit the car that was coming towards her, but then the abrupt stop of her car made her hit her head so hard on the wheel causing her to pass out immediately due to the shock.The moment her car stopped, Alejandro stepped down from his car and took his gun. He tucked it right into his back pocket and began walking towards Talia.Unfortunately, those bastards who were trying to hurt Talia were gone. They had sped past her car, and he was unable to follow them.Alejandro ran towards Talia's car and unbuckled the seat belt around her body.He slowly opened the door, and held her tight as her body weakly fell on his arms."I've got you." He said and carried her in his arms in a bridal style. Some people had also begun to gather already. Alejandro headed straight for his car, and once he tucked Stella in the back seat, he headed straight for the front seat and drove away, heading to the hospital.A few hours later than when Talia had promised Taylor she would be at the
Leo was still in the same room with Kiara. He was staring at her face and wondering why the hell she had to hurt herself because of his brother.He took her hand and rubbed it, and just a few seconds later, he felt her grip on his hand as well."Kiara." Leo called softly, leaning close to her. He watched her slowly open her eyes, but became disappointed when she called Nathan's name first."Levi." Kiara called weakly, but when she opened her eyes, she found out it was Leo sitting next to her, and immediately became disappointed."Are you okay?"Kiara ignored his question and tried to sit upright on the bed. She groaned in pain as her lower abdomen was hurting so bad."I'll help you up.""Don't you fucking touch me, Leo. If you lay even a finger on me, I swear I'm gonna kill you."Leo took a step away from her because her words were not just words. Kiara could do such if she wanted to."Where's Levi?" Kiara questioned, sitting upright on the bed and looking around the hospital."He's g
"Get the fucking car ready, Sebastian." Nathan said. He rushed up the stairs immediately and began heading towards his room. He just had to take something, and once he found it, he rushed out of the room and headed out of the house.Sebastian was in the car waiting for him.The look on Sebastian's face wasn't so good.Honestly, he was scared for Nathan. He would never let anything happen to Nathan, not under his own watch. He was just scared Nathan's dad might do something bad to hurt him because of his stubbornness.The entire family would never accept Leo because Nathan grew up here and he was stronger as well. Nathan was everything the Mercidi family needed to prosper. His uncles were the worst and they were damn cunning and evil.Immediately Nathan got into the car, Sebastian ignited the engine and drove off.When they got to the airport, Sebastian was the first to notice some strange people standing in different directions. At first, he didn't put it to mind, but when the strange
Alejandro had walked out of the room already and he was heading towards his car. As soon as he got in, he took out his phone from his pocket and immediately dialed Leo's number.Leo wasn't answering the damn call and it was really getting him pissed off."Fuck!" Alejandro cursed.He would never get involved if the real plan was to kill Talia and he needed to know if it was Leo that did the attacking on Talia. He called again, but there was still no answer and when he called for the third time, the phone was switched offThis made him realize that Leo wasn't picking up his calls intentionally or maybe he was in an important meeting and could not answer any calls.He threw the phone at the other seat and rested his head on the steering wheels.A few minutes later, he was back up.Alejandro couldn't leave right now because he had to sign the business deal with Taylor just like Leo had instructed. His plan was to sign it and leave immediately. He ignited his engine and drove out of the sc
"Long time, Bryan" Bryan heard as Sam walked right in. Sam was his college friend and after they parted ways years ago, he called him a few months back for help.Their last conversation happened before Taylor came back to New York and so it was perfect for Bryan to hide the truth from Taylor.The only three people that knew about it were Alex, Bryan and Talia.The two men shook hands, and Bryan immediately offered him a seat. "I thought you had dropped it. You never picked up my calls and I was going insane."Same scoffed aloud. "I never dropped it, instead, I couldn't communicate with anyone especially when I was getting a lead."His words made Bryan arch his brows in surprise. "Lead? How? What do you think happened? Who do you think killed him?""Geez, slow down buddy, this isn't something I can tell you right here. I think we might need someone private to discuss this issue properly.""What's wrong?" Bryan questioned.Sam brought out some things from his bag and dropped it on Bryan'
Kiara was seated on a couch. When she heard Leo's footsteps, she cocked her head towards the direction of the stairs to see him coming down to the living room. He had a smile on his face and she wondered why."What a pleasant surprise to see you here in my humble abode," Leo said, spreading his arms apart like he wanted to hug her, but then Kiara rolled her eyes at him."That's no way to treat a friend who helped you earlier, Kiara," Leo said."You should stop thinking so highly of yourself, Leo. If you think I came to thank you, then I guess you should think again."Leo took his seat and collected the pack of cigarettes that was on the table.He took one out and lit it up immediately. He huffed and puffed out smokes staring at Kiara with a naughty smirk on his face.He watched her heave deeply, "Leo, I need your help." Hearing her say this, Leo chuckled. He didn't think that Kiara could be one to need his help. Everybody saw him as someone weak and worth nothing, and here she was say
