“Hi.” She squeaked in a mixture of fake excitement and genuine nervousness. “I trust things are going well for you in London. What you went to do, how's it going?”After asking, she waited for his response and when it didn't come, she tapped on the dim screen to see if he dropped the call.But he was still on it.She sighed and leaned into the leather seat. “Look, I wasn't ignoring you. It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me? How would you have felt if I was the one doing that to you?”“It's not me, and I know you don't give a fuck.”“Are you shitting me? How haven't you seen that I care for you?”“Care? But you don't love me.”“That's not what we're talking about.”“Really?”“You said you'll wait. You said you'll give it time.”“Oh, and then you expected me to have hope and wait when you're literally going back into the arms of your ex-girlfriends?”“What?”“ I don't want any heartbreaking surprises, and that's why I'm l

..........The buzzing of her phone woke her up. She blindly searched for it and when she finally got a hold of it, she answered without looking at the ID."I'm still in..." She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up. My brain needs time before it starts functioning.""I'll buy your excuse.""So?""I'm going on a date.""Oh wow. You found someone or it's a man.""I found someone.""That's wonderful Ara. I'm really happy for you." Destiny got out of the bed, fully woken by Ara's good news."It doesn't mean I'm over you. I still love you, Des."Destiny sighed.

"Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss Christmas with me." She brushed her thumb over his beautiful lips while staring deep into his blue-green eyes.She feels so weak and helpless."I won't." He kissed her thumb."Come back soon." She whispered, her voice threatening to break."I will."She dropped her thumb, tightened their entwined hands, and leaned into him, resting her head against his arm.Sooner or later, she'd have to say goodbye and she's not ready for that.

TEN MONTHS LATER... LEONAWe just arrived home and I am awed to see the entire family in the decorated living room upstanding in anticipation of our arrival.I was carrying my new baby boy in my arms while Dave carried the girl. Yes, I delivered a boy and a girl twin and it's been a month but we're now returning from the by-force vacation Dave took me a month before my delivery. Everyone couldn't wait to see us and here we are now. Petals of different colors showered on us as we walked into the living room."Aww. They're so adorable and the girl is so cute." Kim squealed and took my baby boy from me.I sat down and everyone took turns to congratulate us, me especially. My mind went back to the day I told Dave that I was pregnant in his office. It's been ten months but I can't forget that astonishing look and his priceless smile when I told him the news. I keep replaying it and anytime I do, I find myself smiling. I've never seen him that happy before...it was so ama

FOUR YEARS LATER.....Yeah.It's been four fucking years and I can't say I'm still the Leona of four years back. I'm twenty-six and I've achieved a lot.I got my masters and I even went further to have a bachelor's in architecture. I work in one of the biggest global companies here in America and aside from that, I work with Dave as his assistant in his architectural firm. Together, we built the firm to a top-notch. Anosova architectural firm is now one of the best in the world. His hard work also took his family business to an even higher level. All this occurred in four years.In four years, I became Mrs. Anosova. When we left that coffee shop, we registered, then advanced our wedding night. It was crazy but felt so right. After a year, we got married properly in a church where all the family including loved ones were present.Should I say I expected to see Lando come but he didn't? Well, I did. He told me he's my shadow so I expected him to be there. Not for that alone but because

🔥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

LEONA"Really?" He came even closer, leaned into me and and bit my neck.I looked up at him and caught him staring at my chest with so much hunger and lust but above all, love.With Leonard in my arms, it made my towel pull down, revealing a greater part of my breast leaving only the nipples hidden."Make him sleep, Leo." His voice was begging. His lips moved to kiss the top of my breast but Leonard who hasn't slept yet pushed his head back and placed his little hands on my chest, shielding it from Dave.Dave glared at him and swat Leonard's hands away. "She's my woman, young man.""Seriously Dave. How would he sleep?" I laughed. History isn't repeating, is it?First, it was me fighting Leonard and now Dave fighting him."Then tell him that. He seems to be competing with me."Leonard wasn't having it either. He placed his hand back on my chest and added his head then rolled his baby blue eyes at Dave angrily."What! Did you see that?" Dave grumbled before placing his hand

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

"I'm taking them away, Dad," Dave answered and came to his father with a bunch of papers in his hand."What do you mean? This is their home too.""It was no longer home when you brought a devil to live in it." He retorted."Stop this, Dave. He's your brother." Charles whispered but it wasn't low enough."I refuse to accept him and you'd not change my mind.!"Who are they talking about? I didn't know Dave had a brother."Here, dad. This is all your business and ownership documents. I've resigned and signed everything out of my name. Where's mum? She should come and give them to her darling son." He looked around.I didn't understand whatever that was going on. Why's Dave giving everything back? Most importantly, was I supposed to witness this?I wished my feet would drag me out but I was too curious."I have my own company to focus on anyway.”"Is this how you behave?" Kim appeared. "You get angry at your parents when we scold you a little? We raised you better.""I'm glad you're here,
