RyleeMy life was flashing right in my eyes as I was bleeding heavily. I saw fear in Leo's eyes when I was wheeled into the hospital. I had no idea I would be in that situation. I was on the edge of losing my breath. Manolo had ordered his boys to make me cooperate by all means. I was stubborn on purpose because I knew Manolo would never hurt me. We were once close. We did almost everything together. He only needed money and I knew he would never put me in danger. Under that hate and disgust, I saw the caring Manolo but I was wrong in the end. Manolo looked scarier by the second. The hatred in his heart took over him and he never blinked an eye when Leo called him to apologize and also offered to help him. It triggered him more. Manolo never wanted to be beneath Leo. According to him, he had been in his shadows since he was born and he was ready to step up to him.Manolo took the wrong turn. I was convinced Leo would never forgive him for hurting me. I was losing blood and I closed my

Leonardo Manolo had stepped on my toes and I wasn't going to let it slide. He threatened me with the woman I love and the child I was hoping to see soon. My heir. I considered it an insult when he called me to tell me he had taken them. I was about to lash out at my security when I remembered it was Manolo after all. He must have sneaked past them. The mansion was heavily guarded and I had my guess he didn't take Rylee from the mansion. In addition to that, no one knew what happened between us and he must have used that as an advantage. I left Los Angeles for Asia that week. We had a new product to be introduced into the market and I needed to be at our branch there. Our products were already in the US market so we decided to try them out overseas. I had no idea how Manolo knew about that deal. Did he do that because of how I was progressing or was it just to spite me? I couldn't wrap my head around it.I knew Rylee must have been so scared. My poor baby. I left that woman all alone.

RyleeLife became the perfect breath of fresh air for Leo and we were expecting Manolo to show up but he never did. I had to get used to staying with just Leo in the mansion. It wasn't so bad but I had a lot of adjustments to do. Going in and out of his room, eating any meal I craved, and occasionally bullying him into doing things he thought he would never do. I fell in love with my new life. Leo turned into a chef, a foot masseuse, a wardrobe manager, and a diet planner. With all the stress I put him through, he never complained once. He seemed to have been enjoying it more than I was. He went from a loner who had cigars as his buddy to a man with a date cooking up the storm. A playful man.A generous man.A caring man.An intentional man. I got all of it. It was incredibly beautiful to watch.Leo made me the happiest woman on earth. The glow I had was out of this world. It was evident I was in a happy place. From the days we took parenting classes to the ones we went out shopping, he w

RyleeWaking up in Leo’s bed felt surreal. I kept flipping my eyes and watched him sleep peacefully. He looked so calm while sleeping. He looked so gentle and I giggled when I recalled he was a beast the previous night. He was romping off of me like a tiger seeking his prey. I knew he had that vibe but I was still surprised he was jerking off of me. I never imagined I would be in bed with him. I was starved and I needed him so badly. Leo explored my body and satisfied me in the best way possible. I was already imagining what our lives would become after that night.I was moved to take a few pictures of Leo as he looked peaceful and had the look of a newborn. With the sound of the clicks, he woke up holding my phone while I covered myself in shame.“Hey”“What are you doing,” he said in a deeper voice and I responded by mimicking him.“Taking pictures of you”“You look good ““C’mon Rylee”“Don't be like that,” he said, stretching his back.“Should we take one?” I offered.“Go ahead but

Leonardo Recounting my family story and encounter with Williams gave me a sense of belonging. He was my best friend and my confidant. If he was there in times of celebrations, I figured he should be there when we were falling apart. I called him the night before and told him a bit of what had happened and he was ready to hear me out. I knew I could rant to him. He looked more serious with every passing second and became more concerned about Manolo. I was worried I made the wrong decision about letting him go but Williams convinced me it was the best thing to do. Williams had a degree in business but could read everyone as a book. I trusted his instincts and he assured me we were going to be fine. He gave me clarification on what my worries were and I became more relaxed about it. Talking to Williams on a normal day would always feel like a job but it was different that time. It was about my family and he knew I strongly needed him by my side. He was helping me out this time and I was

LeonardoThe arrival of my parents took me to the abyss. I was confused about how to address them. I had a valid reason why I avoided talking to them. I still had no idea how to go about the whole thing but I knew they wouldn't understand the dilemma I was in. I held my brother hostage and also let the company run on its own for a little while. Of course, no one died and I was being dramatic but I wasn't ready to face them yet. I wished they had understood that. My father's blood pressure was already off the roof and I never wanted to send him into an early grave. Adeline was sweet and I never figured out how to break the news of her son’s rebellion to her. My lawyers were quiet about it but I knew they wouldn't keep it in the wraps for long. I had to put on my courage pants and lovingly address my parents.I staggered towards the stairs as Rylee looked concerned. I had little to drink but it was holding me down way more than I had expected. I never wanted to see them in that state an
