Leslie's heart dropped,and tears pricked at her eyes."No, mother-in-law, please! I'm sorry! Don't stop my dad's treatment now, it's already in a critical stage. Please! Samantha is innocent, please don't involve her in this!" Leslie pleaded."You should have thought about this when you decided to go against my words!" Eleanor sneered."I'm sorry, I... I'll stay away. I'll do whatever you want, just... don't halt my dad's treatment and let Sam go. I beg you," Leslie said."Don't forget this, young lady: I call the shots here and I'm in control. Do I make myself clear?" Eleanor demanded."Yes, m..mother-in-law," Leslie replied with sagged shoulders."Now please leave, your presence is annoying me," Eleanor commanded.Leslie got up to leave but turned back and sniffled her tone firm despite her unshed tears, "Mother-in-law, you promised that this would be a mutually beneficial deal. Then why am I being subjected to this? Why can't I see my dad? Why all these rules?" Leslie questioned, f

Julian watched intently as Leslie walked towards him in a light blue halter top and black capri pants,the soft fabric giving a beautiful contrast to her fair skin. He felt his breath catch in his throat. Was she always this gorgeous? He thought to himself, taking her in as she walked towards the table. She gave him a shy smile and asked, “You haven’t eaten yet?”“No, uh… I was caught up in an important phone call, so I came down late.”“Oh, okay,” Leslie said simply and started eating, missing the side-eye Kris, who was serving the food, gave Julian. That was a terrible lie; he’d come down for breakfast very early but had been waiting for her. When she refused to come down, he went upstairs to look for her himself. He wasn’t so sure why he was acting like a complete teenager when it came to this woman. She evoked emotions in him that he’d never felt before, and it scared him a little. His mind went back to the incident a few minutes ago. He’d never felt so much anger over a person’s f

"Are you serious?!" Leslie squealed as she stood before one of the most luxurious private jets she'd ever seen. Not that she'd seen any, though. "We're really traveling in this?" She exclaimed her heart racing as she stared at the huge silver and red-colored plane."Yes, we are," Julian said, pulling her softly towards the entrance.Leslie tensed as a row of cabin crew members lined up to greet them. Julian noticed her nervousness and squeezed her palm reassuringly. "Relax, they're just our employees."There it was again, Julian using "our" instead of "his." The warming feeling she felt spread across her entire chest in small streams, and she squared her shoulders and followed Julian. The lovely crew in their blue and white uniforms greeted them warmly and ushered them in. Leslie was once again stunned by the interior. It looked big on the outside, yes. But in here, it was twice its size. Leslie felt like she was back in Blackwood Manor. It was spacious and lavish with luscious club s

Leslie, realizing their sudden closeness, quickly separated from Julian and looked forward in the direction of the voice. Julian irritably looked for the owner of the voice too, his brows widening slightly when he saw that they belonged to a middle-aged man in khakis and an orange long-sleeved shirt, a big grin on his face as he strode towards Leslie."There you are, my mentee!" Leslie groaned playfully while grinning as she was enveloped in a hug."Arthur, I told you not to call me that. It sounds weird." She giggled reveling in the warm hug of the man. Arthur laughed out loud. "Since I'm your mentor, it's only fair that I call you mentee, isn't it?"Leslie gave him a pointed look and he yielded. "Oh, alright, fine. I'll call you whatever you want. Glad you could make it," Arthur said with a wide smile. He looked up and his eyes met Julian's. "Oh my, who's this handsome young fellow? Leslie, your boyfriend?" He asked mirroring Kiki's exact words. Julian walked towards him briskly a

Julian ended up not liking the 5-star hotel and insisted on staying at a 7-star hotel instead. Luckily, John found one. The executive staff lined up to greet them as they came in."Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood," they said in unison.Julian nodded curtly, and Leslie waved shyly. Every time she thought she'd gotten used to luxury, Julian just threw more in her direction. He really was a man of power and affluence.A short woman with a bob came forward and bowed. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood. I'm Camira. Please follow me this way. I'll lead you to your suite."They followed suit, and Leslie whispered to Julian, "Do they know that we'll be here for just a night?"Julian chuckled. "Trust me, they do."Camira showed them to their luxury presidential suite. "If you need anything, please don't hesitate to press the buzzer. We'll be right there to attend to you.""Thank you," Leslie squeaked.The woman closed the door behind her, and Leslie looked around the room. It had a chic monochroma

Leslie snapped out of her sleep-laden trance at the sound of the husky voice. Her head throbbed as she opened her eyes, adjusting them to the light. She looked up and saw Julian smirking down at her. Her eyes widened as she looked down at her hands clutching tightly onto his bicep, and she gasped."Are you a bunny, Leslie?" Julian asked again, his tone carrying a hint of teasing. "You keep trying to burrow into me like you're digging for something you lost."Leslie's face couldn't be any redder. She quickly scooted out of his embrace. "This... I... how did I get here?" she asked, confused."Really, Leslie? You've forgotten what happened last night?" Julian said and chuckled.Leslie held onto her head. "Ugh, did I get run over by a bus or something? Why does my head feel so heavy?" she complained, rubbing her head. Then her movement paused. She looked up at Julian, her eyes widening."Did... did you just call me by my name, Mr. Blackwoo-""Julian. Call me Julian, Leslie. It’s only fair

Julian straightened in his seat. "The private investigator found something useful?" he asked.Philip nodded. "Yes, sir, he has, as a matter of fact.""Good, lay it on me then."Philip cleared his throat. "He finally found Marcus's daughter, Jane.""Where did he find her?""It's a long story, sir, but he found her—" Philip’s phone rang, cutting him off. His face flushed scarlet at the sound of it. His girlfriend had changed the ringtone to a trendy K-pop song that she was completely obsessed with. "I-I’ll just take this," he stuttered and picked up the phone. "Hello, Mr. Davis… Yes, he’s here… She has?… Okay, I’ll inform him," he said and hung up."Sir, that was the PI. He said that the girl's concussion has cleared and that you can come and get all the information from her before she decides to leave. Would you like to or—"Julian stood and picked up his suit jacket. "Inform the driver. Let's go."…Julian frowned slightly when the driver pulled up at a dingy-looking hospital. It look

*Flashback to the day Jane was set free*"Now that the old fool is handled, what should we do with her, Red?" A man with spiky green hair and a botched-up nose asked."Shut up, Rocky. Don't spew nonsense in front of her," another man with a bald head and a red-dyed chest-length beard bit out irritably."Okay, okay, sheesh. But you know she can't hear us, right? She passed out from the whipping I gave her," Rocky said and smugly patted his chest.Red rolled his eyes at him. "I told you not to whip her so much. The boss says he wants her unharmed.""But she's so stubborn! I just want to whip the stubbornness out of that delicious body of hers," Rocky snickered. "Anyways, he also didn't say what he wants us to do to her. I received a text from him earlier. He said we should dispose of her.""I have a plan," Rocky said, his eyes lighting up."Your ideas are always terrible, man," Red snickered, rolling his eyes again."Ugh, listen first before you roll your eyes like a teen girl.
