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

RyleeOur vacation ended halfway and we were on our way to meet Lucas. The private jet took off the minute we entered it. Manolo and Montelle were being paraded to the plane While Manolo acted indifferent, Montele gave me a daunting look. I ignored them and walked by them, sitting close to Mr Leo. He never took a second look at them. My blood pressure was shooting through the roof and I almost had a panic attack. I had prayed silently for Rudy while Mr. Leo continually assured me everything was going to turn out fine. I was unstable and I blamed myself for not being by their side. Hell, my parents never did and I felt I failed as a sister. We had a good time together while they were at the mansion but I wished I did better. It was the heat of the moment that made me push them away. In the brighter view, I was glad they were never part of the drama.Rudy never had any underlying sickness. He was a cheerful boy.

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

RyleeRudy's homecoming was exciting and healing. It was more like a party as everyone surrounded him with love. He got presents from Mr Leo and Emily. Rudy was a strong boy and needed to be celebrated. We got home to a banquet while Mr Alice and my parents received Rudy. They had prepared a feast and we couldn't wait to divulge it. Emily and Lucas had been with us all through the day. Since the first week Rudy was admitted they were still there till his discharge. We took wine, and pictures at the set up and it was another awesome day to remember.My parents were closer to us than I had imagined. The few weeks turned into a bonding experience. I had got tired of fighting with them. They promised to change their ways and I had looked out for positive changes. There were ground rules in the mansion. Mr Leo warned they weren't allowed to smoke in the mansion. They cleaned up and occasionally approached me but I declined politely. I avoided making contact with them on purpose. Mr Leo wou

Leonardo Rylee looked distraught. Her parents looked worse. I had never set my eyes on them after giving them money for Rylee’s surrogacy. For some reason, I never visited them. Rylee had never brought them to the mansion and whenever I asked her about them she would wave it off. I had no idea she went through a lot. I must have been an asshole for dragging her out of the life she was used to but they never seemed to have a parent /daughter connection.From the way she treated them, I knew they never had a good relationship. I had no idea what broke up their bond whether it was the surrogacy or they had an awful relationship before that. I must have contributed to Rylee's hate towards her parents. I bought her from the life she was used to and they never gave her the support she needed. The first instinct to find out who they were, would have been when they collected money in place of their daughter. Looking them right in the eye? I could tell they never used the money wisely. They r
