LEILANI I made another phone call, calling a cleaning company. I sent them my address, telling them to do justice to my house before work hours were over. "You old fools will have to try harder if you want to chase me away from my home," I muttered. I took my black card from my drawer and then left the house. Getting to the garage, I got into my car and drove off. My car halted in front of a hair salon and I got off. In there, the staff rushed over to me. "What hairstyle would you like ma'am," one of them asked. "I have no idea. I want a domineering style that screams boss and riches." They shared a look with each other, then led me away. Soon, I was done and I left the saloon. I got my nails done. I also put on some make-up. Then got a dress from a boutique. I stared at myself in a mirror, satisfied with how I looked, I paid and got into my car, with one destination in mind. The church. Once I got into the church, I parked my car at a safe spot in the church parking lot. Churc

LEILANI After my drama with Tom and his wife, I felt satisfied. "Now, they will know not to mess with me again," I muttered. Once I got to the company, I didn't bother going to my office, I went into Sienna's office first, to check on Melinda. I confirmed that she was okay. Melinda was so busy with her PC that she barely spoke to me, same with Sienna who was so focused on her work. I left them to do their thing and found my way to my office. Getting to my office, I contacted my legal team and in a matter of minutes they arrived. I went through the papers alongside them one more time. And once they assured me that it was indeed legal and valid, I signed them and sent a copy of them to Lani Ventures. I was beyond exhausted, the day's drama had tired me out. I relaxed in my seat and shut my eyes. Hardly a second after I shut my eyes, my phone began to ring loudly. I groaned and opened my eyes. "Did I offend anyone in my past life? Why can't I have a moment of peace," I muttered, the

MALCOLM I watched as Lucian forcibly held Leilani. I rose from my seat instantly. However, before I could get to them, Lucian smirked and claimed Leilani's lips. "What the fuck," I growled and storm towards them. What angered me more is that Leilani was struggling to free herself from him, but he held her even more tightly. Anger surged through my veins. I grabbed Lucian and tore him away from Leilani. "How dare you kiss my woman," I roared. I folded my fist and landed a punch on his lips. It split instantly and began to bleed. Leilani shrieked in horror. I glanced at her. "You let him kiss you?" I asked, my eyes flashing. Not giving her any time to reply, I swept her off her feet, bundled her onto my shoulder and walked out of the hotel. Sienna and Melinda trailed behind us, clapping. "Man up and come fight me," I heard Lucian yell. "Get lost," Sienna told him. "Don't ever come near me or my mummy again. Or I'll be the one to do what my lookalike did," Melinda threaten

MALCOLM"What do you think you are doing?" Leilani's angry voice resonated.I paused and looked up at her, only to see her glaring at me. My mouth fell open and I froze."I…I…" I stuttered, not knowing what to say."You what? You pervert," Leilani roared and hit my hands which were still on her boobs. I was so shocked that I didn't think of pulling my hand off.She rose from the couch and gasped."My zip is open!" she exclaimed."It's not what you think it is," I quickly said.But she didn't seem to be listening to me."Were you trying to take advantage of me?" she asked leaving me mortified."What? I'd never do that," I exclaimed, staring at her in horror.She found her way to the light switch and turned on the lights."Could you explain why my zip is open and your hands were on my boobs." she crossed her arms under her breast and glared at me.My eyes followed the movement of her arms and stopped just below her boobs where they were."You are still staring at my boobs, you shameless

LEILANI I let myself slide to the ground. I looked up at the clear blue sky. "Why…why me?" I yelled. "Why my innocent little daughter!" Hot tears trickled down my cheeks. "Melinda never offended anyone. Who could be after her?" I let my tears flow without restraint. "My baby," I cried, clutching my aching heart. I felt like a vital part of me was gone. I sat on the floor disoriented and disorganized. I didn't know what to do. The abductor had told me not to tell Malcolm. At this moment, I desperately wished for Malcolm to show up like a superhero like he did the other day. But if wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. I tried calling the private number, but it didn't connect. "I'm done." The thought of going to the police crossed my mind. But then I recalled that one of the instructions written under the photos sent to me was that I should on no account contact the police, or else Melinda will bear the consequences. Helpless, disoriented, shattered and broken was all I
