As they made their way to the airport a few minutes later, Hayley's thoughts remained a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Despite her efforts to mask her anxiety with a forced smile, she was uncertain whether she was doing a great job.Daisy, on the other hand, was brimming with excitement, completely unaware of her mother's inner struggles. She eagerly anticipated meeting her Aunt Em, having heard countless fascinating stories about her from Hayley. Although Daisy had never met Emily, she was thrilled to learn about her kind and genial nature. She was aware of her status as her mother's best friend. She also couldn't help but wonder if Emily also had a child her age, just like Clara did.Turning away from the car window, Daisy looked at her mother and asked, "Mommy, are we there yet?"At the sound of her daughter's tender voice, Hayley’s heart fluttered, pulling her back from her racing thoughts. She offered a gentle smile and shook her head slightly. "Almost there, baby. Are you re
The following morning, Emily and Hayley returned home after dropping Daisy off at school. Emily had settled in comfortably the previous night upon arriving at Hayley’s place. She felt a deep sense of happiness for her friend, who had managed to create a life for herself despite the challenges she faced before her sudden disappearance from Clasold City six years ago.The night before, they had spent time catching up on various topics. Hayley took care to recount her experiences, explaining the journey with Leonardo that had led her to trust him once more. Ultimately, Emily understood Hayley’s reasoning; she still had feelings for Leonardo and, as a mother, she wanted to provide their daughter with the loving home she deserved.Before heading to bed, Hayley had expressed her determination to pursue a plan of revenge against Leonardo, stating that she had had enough and that he needed to face consequences for his nonchalant and selfish actions. Emily was relieved that Hayley had begun to
As soon as Hayley was escorted away by the officers to the waiting van, Emily hurried inside the house after wiping away her tears and after the other women departed. Her heart raced as she paced the living room, grappling with what to do next. A flurry of questions clouded her mind, yet she found no solution to the conflicting situation. She was new to the city and didn't know anyone who could be of help, well, except Leonardo. But he was currently out of town, and Emily was also hesitant to call him, given they had an impending revenge plan against him. Emily stood rooted to the spot as she wracked her brain, searching for other alternatives. Eventually, she could only let out a hiss of frustration.She raked her fingers through her hair and groaned, heavy breaths eliciting more tears in her eyes as she felt utterly powerless."Now is not the time to cry, Em. Get yourself together!" she chastised herself through sniffles, trying to stifle her tears.Her tears were not just about the
Leonardo was in his company office in Clasold City that afternoon, accompanied by his assistant. It had been quite some time since he had visited the office, and with the recent threats from his brother weighing on his mind, he felt compelled to check on some important matters. Although he had entrusted his responsibilities to his reliable assistant, he believed it was essential to stay informed about the current state of his company since he left months ago."Here are the sales reports since your last visit, Sir," his assistant informed him, presenting him with a file.Sitting up straighter in his swivel chair, Leonardo took the file from his assistant and quickly reviewed the contents of the report.When he had finished, he nodded appreciatively, impressed by the information he had gleaned.Handing the file back, he lightly patted his assistant on the shoulder. "This looks incredible. You've done a great job. I knew I could rely on you. Thank you for your diligence and hard work."Th
Leonardo contemplated for a moment before blurting out the news. "I'll be leaving for Kleeton City, tomorrow." He announced at the table, during dinner with his family that evening. Silence ensued as all eyes turned to him after his utterance. They gazed at him in bewilderment, sadness, and confusion. But Leonardo didn't care. He couldn't stay with them anymore, not after what happened to Hayley in his absence.With his mother and grandfather already discharged from the hospital, he saw no reason also as to why he should remain in Clasold City. They didn't need him anymore. Though he had received confirmation about Hayley's release, a few minutes after his call to the commissioner, he still felt compelled to leave. He wanted to check on Hayley and see how she was doing, and also because he couldn't help the unsettling feeling that dwelled within him, heightening his anxiety and suggesting that something else may have gone wrong after he left for Kleeton, considering Hayley still hadn'
Hayley sighed wearily, feeling a wave of relief flood through her. "Thank you, Taylor. I really appreciate your help. I will be looking forward to it. Thanks, again." Hayley spoke into the phone, her hand running through her hair as Emily watched her from the couch. Emily was curious to know the outcome of Hayley's plea to Taylor for help.After hearing Taylor's response, Hayley ended the call and let out a heavy sigh while returning to the couch, collapsing into it after placing her phone aside on the table. She sighed again, her gaze directed at the ceiling as she remained silent.Filled with curiosity, Emily asked after a few minutes, breaking the silence. "Well, how did it go? What did she say about the order?"With her gaze still fixated on the ceiling, Hayley replied wearily. "I have filed the restraining order against the Lewis. It should be made official soon. Taylor said she'd take care of it." She sighed again, her thoughts all over the place and her heart racing wildly.Emil
Leonardo's heart raced uncontrollably beads of sweat forming on his temples as he repeatedly dialed Hayley's number, only to face no response each time. Confusion and fear enveloped him; he couldn't grasp what had gone wrong.He had returned from Clasold City merely an hour ago when he immediately rushed to the mansion with a sole purpose, and that was to confirm or dispel his deepest fear, whether Hayley had truly left him again. Though a part of him already sensed the truth to that before he even arrived, knowing the head of security wouldn't have just lied to him without cause, Leonardo remained reluctant to believe Hayley could leave him without an explanation.He couldn't understand what he had done wrong or what had gone amiss in his absence. Ever since he sent her that text in Clasold City, before her arrest, Hayley had yet to return any of his calls or texts.After a relentless series of calls, his heart sank, and an exasperated sigh escaped him as he collapsed onto the sofa.
Leonardo's heart shattered into pieces upon hearing Hayley's words. He was struck with bewilderment and disbelief as he couldn't grasp what she meant by that. She had just leveled an accusation against him. How true was that? Though confusion clouded his mind, he maintained a polite tone as he implored her gently. "Baby, please. Talk to me, what are you talking about? What have I done?" "What haven't you done, Leonardo?" Hayley retorted, shaking her head in disbelief as she stared at him. "You're really playing dumb with me right now, aren't you? How long did you plan to use me for your games and manipulations? How long had you intended to keep this facade of yours? You dare hurt me again. I forgave you and gave you a second chance, thinking you've outgrown your old selfish and self-centered self." She scoffed, her tone filled with regret and hurt as she added. "But I should've known better. Leonardo Anderson will always be Leonardo Anderson." Leonardo got even more confused after

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
