For a brief moment, bewilderment clouded Hayley's features as she gazed at Emily in disbelief, her thoughts spiraling.After a moment, she collected herself and hurried over to Emily, snatching the note from her, and quickly scanning its contents. Her heart pounded as she registered the bold print on the card, confirming Emily's earlier statements. It was indeed another message from her enigmatic adversary, cautioning her to steer clear of her ex-husband. Hayley stood motionless, her mind racing to identify who 'L' could be. With the realization that the note was from 'L', she dismissed her initial suspicions that it might have been sent by Cassidy, Alison, or Wendy. The letter was clearly from someone who had either a close connection to Leonardo or who was in love with him.As Hayley remained frozen in thought for a moment, her mind coincidentally strayed to Ivy and she felt her heart skip a beat. A shudder ran through her as she recalled Ivy mentioning that her name was also 'Lisb
Emily was taken aback by her best friend’s unexpected outburst. She never imagined that Hayley would react in such a way. "You deceitful, conniving bitch!" Hayley's furious words shattered the moment of tranquility between Emily and Ivy, causing the two of them to look at her in disbelief. "Hayley," Emily called out, her voice laced with bewilderment as she struggled to comprehend her friend’s behavior. Ivy pressed her palm against her face, trying to mask the sting of Hayley’s slap. Her heart felt as though it had shattered into fragments as she took in the furious expression of the woman before her. "H-Hayley? Why would you do this?" Ivy stammered, bewilderment replacing her earlier excitement. Ivy remained calm for one cause, she liked Hayley, and for the other, because she knew there must be some sort of explanation regarding this, knowing Hayley wouldn't just have acted on impulse when she had done nothing wrong. Ivy patiently awaited her explanation. Hayley let out a scoff, s
"...If not, then it’s your legal wife, Lillian Lopez," she replied, her voice dripping with confidence. At the mention of her name, Leonardo's fists tightened and his jaw clenched tightly, his orbs reflecting his annoyance. He struggled to maintain his composure as he responded tersely, "What do you want, Lillian? I thought I made it clear last time that you need to stay away from me." His voice rose in frustration. Her voice sailed into his ears. "And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing, mi rey. But I can’t control my feelings anymore. It’s not my fault that my heart still beats for you, Leonardo. I miss you, mi rey," Lillian's sultry tone only deepened Leonardo's irritation. Ivy observed Leonardo's demeanor as he spoke into the phone, her curiosity piqued about who could provoke such anger in him. She watched as he excused himself, moving to a quieter corner of the compound, leaving her to reflect in silence. Ivy replayed her earlier confrontation with Hayley, feeling a pang of s
"Hey, who was that?" Ivy inquired as she glanced up, sensing Leonardo making his way back to the bar. She set away the glass in her hand on the counter, staring at him intently as he drew a stool to himself. With a weary sigh, Leonardo replied, settling onto one of the stools. "Lilian." He said curtly. Brows raising, Ivy was momentarily stunned and surprise was etched on her features upon hearing him. Silence enveloped them for a few seconds before Ivy inquired further. "Well, why did she call? What did she want? I thought you've severed all ties with her completely." She said in confusion. Leonardo drew in a deep breath, still plagued by his thoughts. "I have, Ivy. She's just crazy." Leonardo replied absentmindedly, his gaze elsewhere as he lost himself in thoughts. Ivy remained silent, observing him for a moment and she couldn't help but notice the perturbed look etched on his face. Her mind tried to decipher Leonardo's inner thoughts, and after a moment, a sudden realization st
"Have the table prepared, she will be here any moment. I can't endure another round of her complaints. You know how it goes," Alice, a young woman clad in a waitress uniform, instructed her colleague as they prepared dinner in the kitchen. Ingrid, Alice's colleague replied in a subtle tone. "What do you even mean by that, Alice?" A thought crossed her mind and her eyes widened as she added in disbelief. "Don't tell me..." Alice interrupted her with a curt nod, knowing what she was about to say. She stirred the contents of the pot as she replied carelessly. "Yeah, it is exactly what you think. The trip to Clasold City was another disappointment. She couldn't find her there either." In contrast to Alice, Ingrid recoiled in shock at the revelation, concern etched on her face as she shook her head with sympathy. "Oh no, that's truly heartbreaking. I feel so bad for her. Oh my gosh." Alice let out a weary sigh and shrugged. "Yeah, me too. I mean I used to, but not anymore..." Ingrid w
Frustration was etched across Hayley's face as she gently patted her daughter, who was curled up in her lap and crying uncontrollably.Daisy sobbed against her mother’s chest, "Mommy, I want Daddy. I want my Daddy."With a weary sigh, Hayley tried to pacify Daisy. "I’m sorry, sweetheart. But Daddy isn’t available right now. He is away for a few days. Please, stop crying, my love."However, Daisy’s cries only intensified. "No, Mommy! You're lying!"Hayley was taken aback, her mouth agape in disbelief as she glanced at Emily, who mirrored her astonishment. But Emily’s surprise quickly faded into indifference as she returned her focus to the meal she was preparing, deliberately aggravating Hayley further.Hayley noticed Emily's demeanor and felt a pang of realization. She knew Emily was still upset about the incident that occurred at Leonardo's house two days ago. Emily had been sulking ever since they returned home that day and had refused to indulge with Hayley in anything. Hayley coul
"W- What?" Hayley exclaimed in bewilderment, her eyes widening with shock.Seeing this, Leonardo whispered to Daisy. "Baby, would you give Mommy and me a moment, please? Daddy wants to speak with Mommy privately."Daisy lifted her head from his shoulder, her eyes landing on Leonardo's imploring ones. Hesitantly, she nodded sadly. "Okay, Daddy. Please, don't leave, okay?"He nodded briskly, "Uhm, I won't." He pressed a kiss to her temples before gently placing her down. With that, Daisy glanced between them once more before scurrying away.Now left with Hayley, Leonardo expelled an exasperated sigh and apologized softly. "I'm sorry, baby. I was just as shocked as you are now. I'm sorry for not handling the situation in a better way. We only learned about this yesterday."Meanwhile, Hayley grappled with the reality of the news, unable to comprehend it fully. How had Lillian traced her down to Kleeton City and even knew her home address? Why was she targeting her all of a sudden if truly
Cassidy's heart was heavy with sorrow as she gazed at her brother, motionless in the hospital bed. Two weeks had passed, yet there was still no sign of improvement in Adrian's condition. The doctors were even beginning to express their doubts about his recovery. Although Adrian continued to breathe beneath the oxygen mask, hope was rapidly dwindling. They were all perturbed including Cassidy, who sat by his side, gently stroking his face. She inwardly shared in the collective anxiety that filled the room."Fight this, Adrian. Please, we need you. Come back to us," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion and tears of anguish brimming in her eyes. The pain of watching her only brother in such a vulnerable state was unbearable. Cassidy wished she could swap places with him if it would mean reviving him, but that was impossible. In her desperation to help Adrian, she resolved to seek vengeance. Hayley had to pay for the pain she had caused. It infuriated Cassidy to know that Hayle

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
