DAVEIt's been a week and I've been with Leona all through. I've been informed that Lando has been arrested but he's in the hospital at the moment and also, I don't know what came over Katherine but I received everything back. I learned she was also arrested but got bailed. I didn't bother to ask who did it.Raymond's last rites are yet to be done and we don't want it to happen in Leona's absence. Raymond's soul won't be happy either.Today is the day I started a peripheral blood stem cell collection on mum's insistence and I took my first injection today. It's going to continue for five days then when I turn out to be a match, I will donate the Marrow to Emerald. I pray to be a match else we'd have to start looking for a compatible match.I thought I'd have to recover first before I do it but mum spoke to the doctor and he said it's okay and that I can go through it.A WEEK LATER and I'm ready to undergo the transplant. It turned out I was a perfect match which I

LEONA"Have you seen what you've caused our family? I've always known you're a bad egg. How could you? You should've looked for a decent job like every graduate or come back home. It was out of rage I acted harshly and threw you out but you could've come back. Your father got hospitalized because of you and yet you never showed up. What kind of a daughter are you Leona? And now because of your reckless ways, you lost your brother. You caused his death, Leona. I hope you know that!" Tasha scolded me once I joined them in the guest room."Are you done, woman?" Dad asked and she rolled her eyes."Must I always remind you that if you have nothing sensible to say you should keep quiet?""You won't start again Cornelius!" She warned.I knew just then that if I don't come in, they will start fighting."Dad, Tasha is right. I fucked up..""See? She started cursing. I fear you, Leona. Especially after what we went through because of you. I know you're a murderer just like that fearful man and

LEONAI paid the driver and stepped down. I stared at Raymond's apartment and literally wept.A lot of memories are being embedded here. I still can't believe that I lost my brother. My only brother. What kind of fate am I carrying? Why's it that I always invite trouble for people wherever I go?Dave went through a lot because of me. My family is not an exception but they survived it and my brother couldn't. Life is so unfair and especially to me.Oh, Lord. Please save my soul and remove all this pain and sorrows. It's more than I can take.I'm living but my life is not worth living without my backbone.I looked for the key where he always keeps it, put it in the keyhole then turned it gently before pushing it.The room was just as I expected. Dust and cobwebs everywhere which is clearly indicating that it's been a long time since a human lived here.I opened his room and walked slowly into it.I saw a photograph of us together on his bedside table and picked it up. I stared at it an

LEONAI looked at him in absolute shock, my eyes threatening to fall out. This is incredibly unbelievable. I blink multiple times to clear my vision in case I was hallucinating but no. He stood there with his bandages still on him. He didn't look strong but he's here.My hands reached to grip Dave tight and my eyes water. With a shaky voice, I asked. "How?" He limped towards me but I stumbled back. "Are you sure you're not a ghost? I saw your dead body, Raymond. I saw how pale you got. I saw everything. How can you not die?""Don't go away from me, sis." He winced and stopped limping towards me."I'm sorry for scaring all of you. I should've said this to you upfront. You know, after my car accident, I did self-medication before coming to Dave's mansion. I knew that man would try something so I couldn't stay at the hospital though I was going through a lot of pain. I took an overdose of a strong antidepressant and it helped after he shot me. I really didn't feel st

🔥FINALE 🔥Leona Grande-AnosovaIt's been a month and right now Dave and I are sitting facing each other in a coffee shop somewhere in Seattle. From Greece, we relocated to one of Dave's mansions here in Seattle. The city is nice and full of coffee shops with really great coffees. Raymond has recovered and I won't say entirely but it's better than before and he's currently at home with Leonard. Leonard will be two years old next month and I can't wait to celebrate his second birthday.On my dad's insistence to work, Dave employed him in his company and my siblings have also returned to their preferred schools. I will remember to pay Dave back every dime he's spending on my family and me. It's a lot and I can't thank him enough.He also allowed me to get on birth control pills after I explained that I will be furthering my education.He made a joke out of it with a cocky remark that he doesn't need any more competition and that, child or no child, he wants me all to himself. He doe
