The days following the incident with Stuart had turned out more stressful than Leonica could have ever imagined. For one, she had to pay several visit to the prescient, laying complaints, answering questions and undergoing investigations. After that, she had to tally her matter with her parents and boy was that not easy.Despite how much Leonica had tried to re*ssure her parents, C*ssandra to be precise, that she was alright, she wasn't hurt or anything, the older woman still fussed over her. In a way, Leonica understood, seeing as something similar had happened, claiming a member of their family. So she decided not to put up much fight, and instead just allow her mother to worry over her.The other people she had to tally her matter with were Leonardo and Anastasia. Between her parents and them, Leonica wasn't sure which of them had worried more about her.When Leonardo found out about the entire thing, he was enraged, and although the anger wasn't directed at her, she had still fear

The doorbell above Mega-Me jingled as Leonica and Anastasia walked out, small carton of cake in the latter’s hand.“You sure this is perfect?” Anastasia questioned, visibly worried about the cake she had chosen for her mother. Her worry went as far as making her taking yet another peak into the cake box. Although the beautiful pink cherry cake was eye catching and definitely delicious, she wasn’t too sure it was her mother’s type.Bethany, her mother, was a bit, no, overly picky when it came to cakes.From beside her, Leonica sighed. “Anastasia, the cake’s fine. I know Bethany, she’s gonna love it.” She tried to re*ssure.But Anastasia just wasn’t buying it. She was about to take yet another worried look into the cake box and probably contemplate going back into Megan’s shop to swap the cake, or just ditch the cake idea in whole, when a familiar voice sounded out from in front of her.“Anastasia?”She raised her gaze from the cake box, a scowl appearing on her face when she saw that i

Lloyd woke up the next morning to an empty bed side. He groaned and turned to the side, not entirely surprised to find that. But he was surprised to learn that the fact that Anastasia wasn't beside him when he woke up, troubled him.An unusual feeling for him seeing as he was always the first to get out of bed after s*x and even went as far as chasing his partners out of bed.He sat up, running his fingers through his hair as he recalled the previous night's events. They were blurry, but he knew they had both gotten drunk and things got a little out of hand, so much for them to end up in bed. But that wasn't bad, because they had both given consent for it and clearly enjoyed it.With a sigh, Lloyd stood up from the bed, deciding that first he would take a bath, and then try figuring out the rest of his day. But a note on his lamp side caught his attention. He reached for it, reading the neatly scribbled words.'Thanks for letting me crash the night. I'll see you around.'The letter re

Leonica drove straight to her company after dropping Ashley off at his school. The moment she arrived on her company's premises, she took notice of the fleet of securities lined up by the entrance.Kennedy, who as usual, was waiting by the entrance for her, received her with a bow. “Good Morning, Ms. Romero.”“Morning Kennedy. What’s all this about?” She gestured towards the four men in black standing guard in front of the entrance. Before he could answer, they parted at the middle and Leonica watched a familiar figure walk towards her, hands tucked in his pocket.“Arvan,” She smiled, greeting him lightly. “I see you got yourself more trustworthy guards.”“The last ones were utter disappointments.” He wasn’t joking, seeing as his ex wife had been able to make her way into his house without him knowing. “How are you doing, Leonica?”“Best shape.” She offered him her best smile, but he did not fail to notice the dark circles underneath her eyes as they turned and headed Inside. “What ar

"The results so far shows that Ashley is doing great," Doctor Bailey's words rang out as he pointed at Ashley's newly printed medical chart.The said child, although not understanding much, stretched his neck to get a glimpse at what both his parents were so focused on."And his healing progress, how's that?" Leonica asked, tearing her gaze away from the chart and looking at Doctor Bailey."There's no problem. His bones seem to he healing and developing nicely, but," He paused and looked at Ashley, not sure if he should say what he wanted to in front of the young child.Gabriel, who was beside Ashley, got the hint and stood up. "Ashley, do you want to go get some ice cream?"The little boy's face lit up instantly. He looked to his mother for permission and Leonica nodded, allowing him to leave."Kennedy, please accompany the young master.""As you wish, ma'am." Kennedy bowed and held his hand out to Ashley, waiting for the boy to take it before they walked out."What's wrong, doctor?"
