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
When it was 30 minutes past 4, Bryan began getting ready to leave the office. His mind had been occupied with Taylor all along, and he had been asking himself the entire time if he was doing the right thing by keeping everything a secret from Taylor.There was a knock on the door."Come in." He said knowing full well that it was his secretary whom he had called for earlier."Sir, I canceled all the other meetings like you requested.""Great!" Bryan said and began to walk towards his shelf. He brought out some of the files he wanted to be cleared out as soon as possible and handed them over to his secretary."Get this done."She collected them and nodded her head, then turned around and began to walk away. After she was gone, Bryan collected the stuff Sam had earlier brought to him and what Sasha had given to him and walked out of his office.Once he got into his car, he wasted no time in igniting the engine and driving out of the company's premises. A few minutes later, Bryan halted h
Leo was still in bed with Kiara. His arms were wrapped around her body. Her eyes weren't opened yet, but he wanted to enjoy the moment of being with her till she finally woke up.Unfortunately, there was a knock on the door.He slowly replaced his arm with a pillow and tied a towel around his waist. He walked towards the door and opened it only to see Micheal standing at the entrance."What's wrong?""Your dad, he demands your presence tonight," Micheal said."Why?""I have no idea.""Fuck." Leo cussed. He knew he had to be there early in order not to displease his dad. The one thing Mr. Mercidi hated was a late arrival to an important meeting."Once Kiara wakes up, tell her I left first," Leo instructed and once Micheal nodded his head, he stepped out of the room and began to head towards his own to freshen up and get ready to go see his dad.About 10 minutes later, Leo was ready. He tucked his gun that was on the bed into his back pocket and began to walk out of the room.At the ent
"Where the hell are we going?" Taylor questioned since Nathan was the one driving. "Your house.""Are you crazy!! Stop this fucking car!!" Taylor yelled immediately, but Nathan scoffed."Does this sound so funny to you?""You haven't changed Taylor, not even a bit," Nathan said."Stop it you two!!" Talia had to yell. She had been keeping quiet the entire time but she could no longer take it anymore. It was time to clear the misunderstanding."Taylor," Talia called and took a deep breath in."For starters, everything you heard about Nathan here is fucking lies. He never killed anyone innocent, especially his late girlfriend. And most importantly, he had a fucking good reason for hiding his identity from you when you both first met.""What are you saying, Talia?" Taylor questioned."All I'm saying is, Nathan isn't the bad person here. He is simply trying to fix the mistake he made or the mistakes that would happen because of him.""How do you know all of this?""Because I met him after
After Taylor had put her children to sleep, she came outside the house covered in a leather jacket since it was cold outside.Taylor sucked a deep breath as she could get her mind off Nathan. Why was the feeling eating deep inside her heart? Could she not forgive Nathan for lying to her all along?She heaved again and fluttered her brows twice.It was already past 10 and Bryan was still back. Taylor had a lot to worry about tonight. She had no idea why, but today, she thought about her dad. She raised her head high to stare at the sky."Dad, I hope you're in a happy place with Mom watching over me and your grandkids," Taylor muttered to herself. She shut her eyes tight holding back the tears but no matter how much she tried to hold it, it fell off her eyes down to her cheek. She sniffled thinking about everything she had lost in the past.Thinking about her dad's death brought back old memories and Taylor began regretting why she had not come back after giving birth. She was only thin
Kiara got home and headed straight for her room. She was certain that Leo must have received the news by now. She had pleaded with her dad to make sure Leo doesn't take Nathan's position and had promised to make Nathan come back on his own.Kiara sat down on her bed and dipped her hand into her bag to bring out the letter that Leo had given to her.She thought of opening it but changed her mind afterward. She rose on her feet and walked towards her cupboard to take a lighter.Kiara had only used herself to distract Leo last night and now that she had Sebastian, she would torture him till he tells her whatever he wanted to know.She wasn't going to kill Sebastian because he was still useful to the family, but when Nathan finds out he was in danger, then he would come rushing back home.She sat down on the bed and picked up the paper that was wrapped in an envelope and lit it up completely. Watching as the paper burnt, she smiled widely.There was no way she would sit and watch Leo take
Leo continued driving till he got to his destination. This was the abode of the first son of the Massimo family. Asher. He was the strongest and he was the family's next in line.This was the same person who had dared to steal his family's goods and failed to heed Nathan's warning.This was also the only person brave enough to stand up to Nathan. If everyone was afraid of Nathan and his reputation, then Asher wasn't.Leo alighted from his car and began to walk in. The entrance was heavily warded and not even an ant would be able to sneak in without getting caught.The only thing he could do now was to come out in the open and make them take him to their boss.He was ready for the torture he would have to go through because, in the end, it would be worth it. Asher would help him kill the people he wanted dead.Leo had nothing to offer, but he had plans as well.He came out in the open, ensuring to leave his gun behind in the car. Once he was spotted, three men rushed to him and immedia
CHAPTER 91:Sebastian slowly opened his eyes. There was no need to struggle because he was strongly tied to an armchair. He groaned in pain as his head was hurting so bad.After what seemed like a few minutes, Sebastian was able to see properly again, although his head was still hurting.He groaned again and struggled to free himself but it was all in vain."Fuck!" He grunted.The only person on his mind was Nathan. He was worried something bad might have happened to him. Since the room was dark, Sebastian had no idea where he was or who the hell would have kidnapped him.His back pocket was empty, so it meant that his phone must have been taken by the people who had kidnapped him. Sebastian knew he could have handled them if he was prepared.The first culprit that came to his mind was Leo.Nathan might actually not come back after all. Sebastian thought that if they were planning to use him to bring Nathan back and endanger his life, then he would definitely not allow them.There was
