LeonardoThe charity night came to an end and I couldn’t be more relieved. Adeline had put together a great event and I had the time to meet colleagues I hadn't seen in years. Events for the elite had one way of bringing people together and I had the opportunity to meet more investors. I couldn’t turn down Adeline's request about the event. She planned on convincing and getting money for the less privileged while I wanted to get it for the company. Either Way, we both got something out of it. Charity had a way of softening people’s hearts and I took the opportunity to reach out to more clients.Rylee still had me in the neck and I was still thinking of what to do. I knew she had feelings for Manolo but it just wasn’t right. She was carrying me. No child of mine was ever going to be in the way of their lovemaking episodes. I was attracted to her but I knew I could never get her to like me too. I had lost but I was contented. No woman was ever going to make me beg for attention or love.
RyleeThe Kings were ready to leave and I had to go downstairs to bid them goodbye. I wasn't aware that they were leaving. It came as a surprise. Adeline must have been worn out after the event but I was shocked to see her. The charity event was the night before and most people would be resting but not the Kings. It looked as though they had business to attend to and I could only say my goodbyes. Mr Leo looked indifferent while Manolo was out of sight. Adeline looked pitiful. She was barely standing. Mr King was definitely on the clock. I met them waiting in the foyer as though they were waiting on someone. It was obvious it was Manolo. He never showed up. Mr King stormed out saying his last words. He had a weird expression on his face and I was about to ask Leo about it but he looked away.“Take care of yourself, Rylee”“We’ll see you soon ” Adeline added while reaching for a hug. I wanted to badly ask her what was going on but I had to keep mute. The atmosphere was gloomy already and
Leonardo Bora Bora?I had no idea how it slipped out of my mouth. I had a company send over a deal asking me to fix a place where I could meet them. I had always thought about having a vacation with the family but I had no idea it would be in Bora Bora. Williams had gone there a few weeks back and had successfully convinced me to go too. I had researched the place. It was perfect for a vacation as well as business. For what it's worth it was going to be a baby moon for Rylee. I was going to be a father soon and I needed to take time off from the office.The intense moment Rylee had with Manolo had nothing on me. I was slowly losing interest in her. Montelle and I had become inseparable. She was slowly finding her way into my heart. She visited more frequently and we had date nights almost every week. Montelle became a part of the company and won contracts for the company. Modelling was a part of her life but she had a master's degree from Harvard. Montelle was a smart woman and I wa
Rylee Mr. Leo brought up the trip to Bora Bora in a rush and I had little or no time to pack my things. I was scared he wanted to teach us a lesson about what he saw but I also knew he wouldn't harm his brother. Manolo had openly told me he loved me in a couple of ways and I reciprocated that love. For once I knew what the gifts meant. A few glances here and there and a few kisses sealed whatever we had. I felt he was ready to stand up to his brother regarding our relationship.Bora-Bora was beautiful, it was magical. I never thought Mr. Leo would take us there after what he saw. He was too stunned to speak. I was a bit salty he jumped in right when Manolo was trying to make a move but I was excited about the trip. My hormones toned down after a moment of contemplating the fun I would have with Manolo once we landed at Bora Bora. I had no idea why Mr. Leo would send us to have fun when he never liked us being together.From the speedboat to the turquoise lagoons, surrounded by coral r
RyleeThe phone continued recording and I listened helplessly trying not to make a noise.“Let's do this”“Do you think this is the right time?”Montelle says worriedly“I mean he's beginning to love me”“We are having a good time”“I don't want to hurt him”I needed to figure out what they were planning. Whatever they had their mind on wasn't good. They all planned on hurting Mr Leo. Killing him? Bringing him down? I was thinking of the worst.“I have always wanted him to”“He's opening up to me bit by bit” she paced around while I moved closer to get a full view of their conversation.“Put yourself together”“Stop behaving like a baby” Manolo slightly raised his voice.“We both know why you are here”“You are not here for love”“Don't tell me his dick is that good” he fumed.“I mean I wouldn't trade it for anything”“Yours isn't close “Montelle mocked.“You want to find out right now?”“I could fuck you till daybreak” He drew closer to Montelle while she ignored him.It dawned on
LeonardoMy chest was heating up and so were my feet. I had to keep cool and act like I was okay but I wasn't. Montelle had brought over drinks and I looked intently at her trying to figure out if she was the same person in the video. She was all smiles as she brought a refill and I could only picture when I was trying too hard to fall for her. Yet, she betrayed me. I couldn't come to terms with Montelle sleeping with my brother. I wasn't surprised she was. I had run into them flirting with each other a few times but never looked into it. She had been dating all the guys in the industry and I felt she was done with it. All the kindness, the business meetings, the emotional support everything came from a place of betrayal. Who Acts nice to destroy the person later? Montelle of course. I initiated a conversation hoping to confirm why she planned to ruin me. I was hoping she would come out to me. it was going to be the last time I gave her the chance to open up to me.“Hey baby”“You oka
Leonardo I had made the decision I wouldn’t let Manolo win. I gave him the upper hand in the situation but was done playing games .it would have been easy if I set up a ploy to deceive him and make him think he duped me while I confidently laughed at his antics but I had no time for that. The more I got involved the more I got hurt. Looking at their faces reminded me of the hurts I had been through in the early stages of my career. The betrayals, the rejections. Damn, I was always going in and out of depression. When my company almost crumpled, I invested my life savings. My dad watched me do it saying it would make me value it more. That was my life. I dedicated my entire life there. That was the one thing I had yet Manolo thought it wise to want to take it. I planned on making it hard for them but it wasn’t worth my efforts.Montelle was all giggling and clingy until I set off the bomb. She quietly detached herself from me while I watched her closely adjusting her dress. She probab
RyleeI had a whole long different emotion flowing through my veins. I couldn't process what had happened a while back. I went through different stages of grief. From confusion, and regret to happiness. I regretted every bit of my moments with Manolo but was glad I was done with that nightmare. Manolo picked more than he could chew and I was glad he was getting what he deserved. I had honestly wished he would be better. The days he came through for me, being the confidence booster, the times I was depressed and he stayed with me, the times my siblings had no one to keep them company and help them out trying to figure out the rich lifestyle, it all replayed in my mind. Manolo was there for all of it. The dates nights, the lonely nights, He was the only one that had my back all through my journey. When I got to the mansion, the only person I connected with was Manolo. He gave me a chance to be a better person. I couldn't believe it was all for his selfish goals.I gave love a chance and
