After spending some time playing with Daisy in the room, Leonardo began to feel restless, missing Hayley. He decided to check on her in the kitchen since she had not returned as promised.

"I’ll be right back, baby," he told Daisy, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. Daisy, completely engrossed in the cartoon playing on Leonardo's iPad, nodded absentmindedly.

Leonardo offered a faint smile before getting up from the bed and walking over to his wardrobe to grab a singlet. Already dressed in sweatpants, he tousled his disheveled hair and stole another glance at his daughter before making his way out of the room.

As he descended the stairs toward the kitchen, his ears couldn't help but strain the sounds filtering in from outside. Pausing, he furrowed his brows in confusion; he thought he had heard Adrian’s voice, but he dismissed it, knowing that Adrian had never been to his house. However, his skepticism dissipated when he heard Adrian’s voice again, this time clearly mentioning the

    About what seemed like half an hour later, Leonardo and Hayley eventually returned inside the house, with Hayley still crying silently and profusely. Pangs of guilt tugged at her heartstrings, eliciting more tears from her eyes and making it more difficult for her to forgive herself for what she had done. Each time she replayed the last look Adrian gave her before he exited the compound, Hayley wished the ground could open up and swallow her.As Leonardo sat her down on the couch in the living room, her mind was still in oblivion. "Mi reina," Leonardo's soft and concerned voice broke through Hayley's thoughts, causing her to shudder as she slowly looked at him in response, her face tear-stained and her eyes puffy.Leonardo felt broken as he sat beside her on the couch, tugging her loosed strands of hair behind her ear. He reassured her. "It's going to be alright, mi reina. He'll come around. It just takes time. You have to be patient. Please, stop crying. It breaks my heart to see yo

    Leonardo and Hayley arrived at the hospital parking lot, where Adrian was admitted.They unfastened their seatbelts and as they made to step out, Hayley halted Leonardo. "No, please. You can't come with me. You can't come at all." She stated, shaking her head as Leonardo turned to her, taking in her unpleasant features. Hayley's eyes were puffy red and her hair was slightly disheveled, loosely tied in a ponytail. She hadn't had the time to bathe before leaving as she had rushed to the hospital nearly twenty minutes later after they watched the news at home.Leonardo's tone and expression were filled with worry as he replied, his eyes locked on hers. "Are you sure, baby? I don't think you can handle them on your own. Let me come with you." He said imploringly, but deep down, he knew Hayley was right. He couldn't follow her in, nor could he even pay Adrian a visit as a friend, knowing he was part of the cause of his accident. Regardless, he wanted to be there for Hayley. He understood t

    'Fraternal Twin?'A wave of disbelief washed over Hayley as she struggled to grasp Clara's revelation. What did she even mean by that? Adrian had a twin? This was news to her. How could she have been unaware of this? Adrian had never mentioned having a sibling. What was going on?Her mind raced, filled with a torrent of unanswered questions, while tears streamed down her face. "W-what? I don’t understand," Hayley stammered, her gaze searching Clara's for clarity.Clara scoffed, amusement dancing in her eyes as she shook her head. "I bet you didn't see this coming... You should leave now, Nina. Just go. No one wants you here. Return to your ex. The nerve you have to show up after what you’ve done."More tears flowed down Hayley’s cheeks as she absorbed Clara's harsh remarks. She attempted to respond, "I-I’m sorry," but Clara cut her off."Just go. Go!" Clara insisted. Yet, Hayley hesitated; she couldn’t bring herself to leave in such a state.Suddenly, their moment was disrupted when a

The young lady never called Leonardo unless she had something important to discuss. What could be the problem?

However, Laura's calls remained persistent and she refused to back down until she was answered by him.Exasperated, he accepted the call and greeted her, trying to keep his tone steady despite his frustration. "Hello, Laura? How are you?"He immediately noticed her uneven, strained breaths, heightening his unease as she hesitated before responding."Brother... It’s Mom, Mom, and Grandpa."Leonardo's heart raced, his brow furrowing as he sensed Laura's distress. "What’s wrong? What’s happened to them?" he demanded, concern lacing his voice.Laura's voice trembled, tears evident as

    "Mi reina, are you sure you're going to be alright?" Leonardo worriedly asked Hayley as he sat beside her on the king-sized bed in his room. He added, his hand resting on her hair affectionately. "I won't leave if you don't want me to." Hayley's weakened eyes wandered to his, and she gently grasped his hand by her face. "I'll be fine, Leonardo. I promise,""Are you sure, baby? I'd prefer it if you came along with me to Clasold City. I don't know what I'd do if history repeated itself. I'm worried for your safety..." He replied anxiously, referring to what had transpired at the hospital two days ago.Leonardo had raged two days prior when he saw the bruises on Hayley's face, inflicted by Adrian's sister, Cassidy. He had wanted to press charges and throw her in jail, but Hayley begged him not to. Despite his several attempts to make them pay for what they did to Hayley, Hayley refused to let him carry out any actions as she was acutely aware it would only escalate things. Leonardo didn'

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

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'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.

    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.

    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.
