Leonardo and Emily headed towards the warehouse after parting ways with Hayley, choosing a different path that would lead them to the room where Daisy was being held.As they passed through the dilapidated mechanic shop, Leonardo felt a surge of conflicting emotions; mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety. While he was eager to reunite with his daughter, he was apprehensive about Hayley's current encounter with Lillian as part of their plan.His mind raced with worry about what might be happening at that very moment. What if Lillian had a weapon aimed at Hayley's face? The thought sent a chill through him, causing him to pause in his tracks, anxiety gnawing at his insides.He contemplated turning back to find Hayley, but a voice broke through his turmoil."Come on, Leonardo. Hayley will be fine. You need to have faith in her," Emily urged, recognizing the tension in his posture. She understood his concern, especially given the precarious situation that had been created by Wendy and
"Daddy!" Daisy wanted to shout, but Leonardo quickly signaled for her to remain quiet. “Shh, baby, please be quiet,” he urged gently.Daisy nodded in agreement, her excitement bubbling beneath the surface at the sight of him. Leonardo offered her a warm smile before leaning down to kiss her temples. Aware that time was of the essence, he swiftly stood up, moved around the chair, and began to untie her until she was finally freed.As soon as she was released, Daisy leaped up and rushed to wrap her arms around her father’s legs. “Daddy, I missed you!” she exclaimed, her small hands clinging tightly.Leonardo felt a sharp pang in his heart as he looked down at her. He knelt down and lifted her into his arms, cradling her close. “I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry,” he said, filled with remorse, before embracing her tightly, a single tear of joy escaping down his cheek.They held each other for a brief moment until Leonardo was reminded that their time was running out. “How dare you!” a
Tears streamed down Hayley's face as her piercing scream reverberated through the air, shaking the ground beneath her. The anguish in her voice was a sharp reminder to Lillian of the chaos unfolding around them.Still engulfed with shock, Hayley collapsed to her knees, her gaze fixed on Leonardo, who lay on the floor fighting for his life as blood poured from his wounds. Hayley's heart felt as if it were shattering, the world around her fading until the sound of an approaching siren broke through the haze.Startled by the siren, Lillian instinctively darted her attention to the entrance, realizing the sound was alarmingly close. Without a moment to spare, she quickly retreated and dashed out of the room, determined to avoid any encounters with the police. She abandoned Hayley with Leonardo.As reality crashed back in, Hayley stood up again, her face flooded with tears as she moved closer to Leonardo. She knelt beside him, gently cradling his face in her hand. "Leonardo, please stay w
In a matter of moments, the entire area was swamped with cops, culminating in Lillian's arrest. The officers aimed their firearms at her, commanding her to lower her weapon while keeping a safe distance from the two women, poised to intervene at any sign of trouble from Lillian.Meanwhile, Hayley remained on the ground, observing the conflict unfold.She noticed the sense of defeat and reluctance flickering in Lillian's eyes as she continued to direct the gun at her. Hayley could read Lillian's expression, recognizing the simmering anger and confusion within her."Don't waste your time, Lillian. You can't win against them. It's over," Hayley stated calmly, her gaze fixed on Lillian with an icy intensity."Shut up!" Lillian retorted, tears streaming down her cheeks, though her face remained stoic."Put the gun down, Lillian. There's no point. You're surrounded," Hayley continued, undeterred by Lillian's defiance."I said shut up!" Lillian snapped, her finger tightening around the trigg
"...They have been apprehended, and the two women are currently in custody..." The newscaster's smooth and clear voice echoed from the television, resonating in Adrian's ears and causing him to frown as he processed the unexpected news. It was truly a shock to him.A wave of concern washed over his face as his thoughts shifted to Emily. He felt a surge of anxiety in his chest, wondering how she was coping after the incident involving Wendy and Lillian. The news revealed that a shootout occurred when Emily and Leonardo attempted to rescue the abducted child. However, it was reported that only Leonardo was found at the scene, wounded and subsequently taken to the hospital, while Hayley had gone to visit him shortly after Lillian's arrest. The absence of any information about Emily deeply troubled Adrian.His heart raced inexplicably at the thought of her. Since returning home from the hospital, he had been unable to shake off his thoughts of Emily. He realized his feelings for her had o
Alison was busy preparing to pick up Ethan, Lilian's son, from school, when the ongoing news being broadcast from the TV streamed into her ears, capturing her attention.It was past noon when she heard the report cumulating Hayley. She could hardly barely hear her ears as she directed her gaze to the TV, absorbing the details about Hayley's newfound success and fortune. It hit her like a thunderbolt, discovering from the newscaster that Hayley turned out to be Rosalie's long-lost heiress, and upon her return and their reunion, Rosalie had announced her as the heiress of the McKanne's fortune. Alison felt a wave of disbelief wash over her as she struggled to process the news. What? Hayley was an heiress? And on top of that, she had also won the Artists' Competition. Was this for real? A pang of envy and disbelief gripped Alison's chest as her eyes remained glued to the TV, although her thoughts were already touring her into oblivion. She wasn't sure how she felt about the news, but o
Despite her success in apprehending Lillian and Wendy, Hayley felt a deep sense of sadness and heartbreak as she remained by Leonardo's side on the hospital bed, staring at him pathetically as he lay motionless.Her eyes slowly trailed to the IV lines attached to his muscular arms and her heart shattered even more as she recalled his situation once again. Ever since his admission to the hospital the day prior, Leonardo had slipped into unconsciousness. Although the doctor had reassured Hayley he was going to be alright, Hayley was still filled with anxiety. It had been nearly twenty hours since he had fallen asleep and hadn't moved an inch. The soft sounds of his breathing, resonating from the monitor machine was the only thing that offered Hayley solace as she remained seated by his side.She watched him, concern etched on her face as she occasionally brushed back his luscious hair cascading down his handsome face. Hayley swallowed uneasily as she returned her eyes to him, her gaze
"I'm guessing you've all watched the news." Hayley started after the reunion, directing her gaze at Dana, who was now sitting beside Leonardo on the bed. Dana shifted her worried gaze to Hayley and nodded. "Yeah, we did. We had to catch the next flight to the city as soon as we heard. What's the Doctor saying about his condition? Is he going to be alright?" Dana asked, her tone filled with concern as she stared at Hayley hopefully. Hayley nodded, her expression neutral yet reassuring as she replied. "He's going to be fine, Ma'am. They were able to stop the bleeding before it escalated. He's receiving proper medical care, and for now, he's just resting. He needs some time to recover." Dana sighed wearily, absorbing the update before casting another glance at her son, who remained unmoved. "I hope he gets well soon. I hope he does." She exhaled exasperatedly. Hayley smiled softly and replied. "He will, Dana. Just give him time. He will." Dana nodded curtly, her eyes still fixated o

Later that afternoon, three hours into the event, Hayley made her way to the parking lot where her car was situated. She had excused herself from the guests and Leonardo, explaining that she needed to visit someone. That someone, of course, was Adrian.Since her conversation with Emily earlier, she had been feeling increasingly unsettled. A myriad of thoughts and unanswered questions weighed heavily on her mind, leaving her feeling guilty and heartbroken as she reflected on Adrian's attitude towards her. Although she had intended to see him after the event, her impatience grew overwhelming; she could no longer wait. She needed to speak with him, to personally apologize for the past, and to invite him to the grand opening of her second company in two weeks since he hadn't made it to this one nor her wedding, a month ago. After asking Emily for Adrian's whereabouts, Hayley resolved to visit him at his office right after delivering her keynote address. With that, she made her way toward
[TWO MONTHS LATER ] "Cheers!" the crowd joyfully exclaimed as Hayley cut the red ribbon. A broad smile illuminated Hayley's face as she wielded the scissors to sever the ribbon. "Congratulations, Nina!" several guests called out, their applause filling the air, evidence of their excitement.That afternoon, Hayley couldn't hide her radiant smile as she took in her surroundings, her eyes roaming the place. She marveled at the impressive building before her, topped with a striking black sign that read 'NINA's ARTISTRY AVENUE,' still in awe that it truly belonged to her.But then again, it was the grand opening of her newly established company, and she was surrounded by distinguished guests, billionaires, and affluent investors eager to explore partnership opportunities with her enterprise. Hayley was brimming with immense joy. Upon the cutting of the ribbon, the guests went inside to survey the building, and each of her artworks that were in it. They were served a variety of drinks
The announcement of Hayley and Leonardo's engagement made headlines just two weeks following the proposal, as they eagerly began planning their extravagant wedding celebration. Leonardo was determined to marry within a month, expressing his impatience to officially welcome Hayley as his lawfully wedded wife once again. Images of the couple flooded the Internet, captivating fans and followers alike. Their connection had grown significantly stronger now that past issues were resolved. Hayley felt a genuine sense of happiness as she reclined on Leonardo's bed, anticipating the usual morning breakfast from him. Leonardo had made it his duty to always serve her breakfast in bed after any long passionate night. Just like the past five mornings, this was no exception as Leonardo had also made mad love to her the previous night. Ever since they got engaged, they'd been all over each other, having sex everywhere and any corner of the mansion, ranging from Leonardo's study to the kitchen, the b
Hayley woke up the next day, feeling slightly sore down there, a vivid reminder of what had transpired the previous night as she tried to recall. A coy smile tugged at her lips as she stretched out her weary body. As she fluttered her eyes open, she noticed she was the only one in the room.She instinctively turned over, hoping he'd be right behind her but to her disappointment, he wasn't also there. Hayley frowned, massaging her temples as she felt a wave of loneliness enveloped her. She couldn't help but ponder about Leonardo's whereabouts. Yawning tiredly, she lifted the mattress of her body to realize she was already cladded in one of his oversized Tshirts. A warm smile crossed her face as she recognized that Leonardo must have dressed her up in that because she had no recollection of doing so herself the previous night. Smiling with newfound excitement, she draped the mattress over herself, gazing up at the ceiling. Just then, she felt an unusual weight on her finger and when s
"Yeah," Hayley nodded curtly though she felt drained. A smile spread across his face and he glanced down at where they were joined, witnessing his cum flow from her pussy. He redirected his gaze back to her and whispered. "You're sore, aren't you?"Hayley nodded slowly, her eyes still dazed with a mix of lust and tiredness. "A bit."Leonardo regarded her and nodded. "This is the last, I promise." He said reassuringly, leaning in to kiss her lips. While kissing her, he began moving his waist upward and downward, his already surged dick thrusting into her channel deeply.Soft moans began fleeing from Hayley's lips once more, her visions blurring as she felt her arousal resurfaced. She hugged his back, wrapping her legs around his waist as he moved in and out of her repeatedly. Leonardo carefully angled his thrusts, taking her slowly and passionately as he wasn't just fucking her this time but making love to her. Hayley whined, feelings of ecstasy flooding through her as Leonardo buri
He rammed into her unexpectedly, causing Hayley to scream as a blend of immense pain and pleasure coursed through her. Leonardo's cock was buried deep inside her channel but he paused, allowing her to adjust to his size as he had taken her unexpectedly. His dick pulsated inside of her as her walls clamped around him.Their bodies joined; he paused, watching her as she struggled to catch her breaths, her face twisting with pain. Leonardo lowered himself to soothe her, his lips latching onto hers as he made to reduce her discomfort. Hayley whimpered amidst the kiss as he began moving in and out of her in a slow yet deep thrust. He was allowing her the moment to take him in fully and also being careful as well as he never forgot she was pregnant.Hayley caressed Leonardo's head, brushing her lips against his as he began fucking her, his pace increasing slowly with each passing thrust."Fuck, mi reina, you're so tight..." Leonardo growled out, stealing a glance down at where they were jo
As she spoke, Leonardo looked down at her with a smile, warmth spreading through him. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction hearing Hayley openly express her feelings. A rush of sensations enveloped him, intensifying as he became aware of his arousal pressing against her lower abdomen. Hayley’s inviting smile widened as she adjusted her position, allowing him to settle more comfortably against her. She squirmed slightly, breathing softly while maintaining eye contact. One hand wrapped around the back of his neck, while the other gently caressed his cheek.Before she could voice her thoughts, Leonardo beat her to it. "I love you," he declared, his gaze locked on hers, eager for her response. Her smile brightened as she tenderly traced his face with her thumb. "I love you too, Leonardo. And I'm so glad you’re the father of my children."A proud smile spread across his face, her words filling him with warmth and affection. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaned in to capture her lips
His tongue danced around her sensitive bud, drawing a soft whimper from Hayley as she tangled her fingers in his hair, tugging at the strands. Her legs were hung over his shoulders as his head remained buried in her core.Hayley gasped for breath as Leonardo traced his tongue along her slit, teasingly reaching her clit, sucking and licking with an intensity that suggested he had everything to lose. "Ah, yes, baby, right there..." Hayley moaned, tilting her head back in ecstasy, her eyes fluttering shut. Despite the air conditioning in Leonardo's room, beads of sweat glistened on her temples, her body ignited with an unquenchable desire."Mm, mm, L-Leonardo," she squirmed beneath him, but his firm grasp held her in place, preventing her from escaping his tantalizing ministrations.He continued to suck and lick until she began to writhe in response, her legs trembling as her climax approached. High-pitched moans escaped her lips as she begged him to continue, but in typical fashion, Le
