As the door swung open, Hayley's gaze froze upon seeing the two familiar and bright bright grey orbs in front of her. Her smile dissipated, and her heart thudded against her chest in a state of shock.The excited voice of Daisy shattered Hayley's reverie and she blinked weakly, unsure of what to do in that moment. Leonardo stood before her, still holding Daisy in his arms.Reacting quickly and without second thoughts, Hayley reached out and pulled Daisy out of his hold, placing her down, her eyes darkening as she glared daggers at him.Their gazes locked, Hayley's insides brimming with anger and tension, while a smug smile played at Leonardo's lips."Angel!... Mr. Logan.." Adrian exclaimed, astonished.Hayley had almost forgotten he was still standing behind her. She turned to face him, composing herself to prevent him from being suspicious of her reaction.Leonardo greeted Adrian with a nod. "Mr. Lewis." They shook hands.Pretending to be oblivious to the silent scowls Hayley was se
Meanwhile..."Please have your seat, Mr. Logan." Adrian urged, circling to sit behind his desk as Leonardo took his seat in the plush office seat."Welcome to my office," Adrian said genially after taking his seat. He paused before continuing. "You want something to drink or eat or something?" He asked politely.But Leonardo shook his head. "No, thank you. I'm good."Adrian studied him for a moment before shrugging. "All right. If you say so." He continued, "But what kind of CEO would I be, if I can't give my guest a drink of the best wine in my office." He rose to his feet, walking briskly over to a small wine bar at the end of the office.Adrian picked a bottle of wine with two wine glasses before returning to Leonardo. He popped the wine and poured it into the two glasses before taking his seat. "Long time, no see, Mr. Logan. I was expecting you to come earlier, but to my surprise, you didn't. I was worried you had taken my fiancée's words to heart. Had you, Mr. Logan?"Leonardo f
"Yes. That's what Nina told me... Come to think of it," Adrian said, furrowing his brows at Leonardo as realization dawned on him. "Why am I even telling you this?"Leonardo was too stunned and dumbstruck to even form a meaningful response. He swallowed, slowly shutting his mouth that had dropped before after hearing what Adrian said.Leonardo felt his heart prick him painfully. Hayley really told her new lover that he was in prison? The father of her child? How could she be so heartless and nonchalant, but then again, He started it all. He was the root of his own problems. He brought these upon himself. But Leonardo was glad he was back now. He was back to make amends. To right his wrongs, no matter how long it takes. Hayley was his and his only. His heart warmed up when he recalled Adrian had said Hayley hadn't given in to him for five whole years. This meant there was still hope for him. He remembered the way Hayley had gazed at him the other day at the park. He could tell Hayley
Leonardo stood outside Adrian's door for a moment, his eyes darting to and fro, contemplating the right direction towards Hayley's office. He wanted to see her and talk to her before he left.After staring at the two opposite directions for a while, eventually, he decided to go left. He walked briskly, making his way through the series of office doors until his eyes finally caught sight of the one with a gold metal plate at the top of it, the word 'SENIOR CREATIVE ARTIST' was boldly inscribed on it. He didn't need anyone to tell him whose office it was. Hayley's.Leonardo took off his glasses. A smirk curved up his lips as he gazed at the metal plate for a while. Hayley had really come this far. She wasn't the weak and dependent lady he used to know. He was glad and proud of her growth.Leonardo's eyes slowly trailed down to the doorknob. He contemplated for a while before heaving out a sigh.Without knocking, he twisted the doorknob and opened the door.Hayley's eyes darted towards t
"E- Ex-husband?” Hayley stuttered, her knees growing weak.This was one of the days she dreaded_ Adrian finding out the truth about her or her past. She feared the day she would finally tell him the truth. But at that moment, Hayley wasn't ready to tell him shit. She had to navigate her way through this predicament as soon as possible.“Yes, Nina. Your ex-husband!” Adrian snapped, his tone demanding.Hayley blinked twice and regained her composure, her shocked expression wearing off. “What do you mean my ex-husband? Did you think Damian Logan is my ex-husband? The father of my child?” She questioned in denial.“Why. Isn't he? I'm tired of your lies, Nina. Tell me the damn truth!” Adrian walked over to her, staying by the doorway as they gazed at each other intently.So much for a dumb and slow-witted man, Hayley huffed inwardly recalling Leonardo's words. It didn't even take Adrian long before he found out the truth.“When have I ever lied to you, Adrian? I don't understand your accus
Leonardo Anderson arrived at Clasold City exactly at 4 pm after staying on air for nearly six hours. On getting to the airport, his personal assistant, Toni Scott was already awaiting him. Toni Scott was a tall, gangling man around twenty-eight years of age. He was handsome with long brown hair that cascaded on his face. He was Leonardo's most trusted aid among his numerous workers. Scott rushed over to Leonardo when he caught sight of him. “Welcome back, Sir. How was your trip?” Scott greeted with a grin, taking the small traveling bag from Leonardo's grasp. Leonardo patted his back, his eyes roving the airport as they walked toward the car. “Thank you, Toni. It was fine.” He lowered his head, glancing at the time on his wristwatch. It was almost 4:30 pm. Leonardo turned to Scott. “How long will it take before we get home from here? I don't want to be late for dinner.” Scott replied sedately. “About 45 minutes, Sir.” Leonardo contemplated before he continued. “I have to ma
Mother.” Leonardo called, announcing his arrival as he stepped into the mansion, heading towards the big dinning hall, already occupied by his family members. “Leonardo,” Dana Anderson, who was standing by the dining table, instructing the servants on what to do, turned when she heard her second son's deep voice. Dana looked at him with a frown. “You're late.” She told him as he approached her. Leonardo pulled her for a hug. He apologized softly. “Sorry mother. Scott doesn't drive as fast as he used to be.” He pulled out of the hug, smiling at his mother. “Hmm I see.” Dana said. “Did you miss your son, Mother?” Leonardo asked, his eyes sparkling in delight as he stared at his beautiful mother. “Of course. Aren't I supposed to?” Dana asked, furrowing her brows at him. Leonardo only chuckled. Leonardo turned to the rest of them. His face turning expressionless as his eyes met with that of his brothers, one after the other. They were all sat at the table, about to have di
"Wow Congratulations, big brother." Loretta beamed with joy. "Congratulations, Lorenzo. I'm happy for Brenda and you." Dana chimed in, grinning. "Thank you. Thank you," Lorenzo replied grinning from ear to ear.But in that instant, Leonardo turned to Lorenzo, his face etched with disbelief. He asked fazed. "Brenda is pregnant?" Leonardo was taken aback not because it held any significance to him, but because it was a miracle that Lorenzo's wife was able to conceive. He was truly happy for Brenda.Lorenzo shrugged indifferently in response to his brother's question. "Yes. You know miracles do happen. Some of us here are just unlucky enough to experience it." He sneered, looking wickedly at Leonardo.Leonardo's expression grew stony, understanding the double meaning behind Lorenzo's words. His past. But he wasn't bothered about it anymore. They could mock him for all he cared, if only they knew he had a five-year-old daughter, already the first grandchild and the future heiress to th

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
