Broken to finding love Chapter 40: I learn from the best
“Aren’t you late for work already?” Leonard heard Jane’s tiny voice say. Disentangling herself from his embrace, which made Leonard frown, Jane pushed his chest slightly, pointing at the wall clock. “You are almost late. Go take a shower and prepare for work.” Leonard's grumpy voice sounded. “I’m the boss, I can go to work anytime I like.” Jane nodded, making Leonard's eyes shine in happiness thinking she agreed with him. The next thing Leonard heard was “You being the boss doesn’t mean to have a bad attitude to work. If the boss is late, the employees will follow suit. You need to set a good example, Leonard,” Jane said, her voice firm but playful. Leonard's grin faltered, surprised by Jane's unexpected lecture. “You're scolding me?” Jane's eyes sparkled with amusement. “Someone has to keep you in check, big boss.” Leonard chuckled, pulling Jane into a gentle hug. “You're the only one who can get away with this, you know that?” Jane smiled, her voice softening. “That's be

Los Angeles. As the Banks couple were enjoying their happy life together, Ted, who had almost gone crazy looking for Jane, his ex-wife, stumbled into the living room, looking drunk. “Ted,” his little sister, Milly, who was sitting in the living room, called out to him, as she walked towards him, supporting his swaying self. “What the hell have you turned yourself to? For a month now, you have been coming home drunk. Are you losing it or what? Milly snapped at her brother, as she guided him to the couch. Ted collapsed onto the cushion, his eyes unfocused. Ted's mother, who heard the commotion, walked out of the lounge room where she was resting earlier. Seeing her son, looking wasted, she gritted her teeth as she walked to him. “What’s the meaning of all this Ted?” His mother's voice sounded as she walked up to them. Ted closed his tired eyes, pretending he was sleeping, not wanting to listen to his mother’s rants. “How did you want Ava to feel, seeing her future husband get

Ted sat down on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the diary as he gently opened it. The pages were filled with Jane's handwriting, and Ted's heart skipped a beat as he saw her words. He had never seen her handwriting before. Since a year they had been together, he wasn’t able to spend time with her, not to talk or see her write anything. As Ted gazed at the pages of the diary, he was struck by the beauty of Jane's handwriting. The letters were elegant and refined, with a subtle flair that seemed to dance across the page. The curves and lines were perfectly balanced, creating a sense of harmony and flow. Ted's eyes lingered on the way Jane's handwriting seemed to capture her personality, the bold strokes and confident flourishes spoke of her strength, while the delicate loops and curls hinted at her softer, more vulnerable side. Ted's fingers gently traced the curves of Jane's handwriting, feeling a deep connection to her. He felt like he was touching a part of her like he was holding a

“Excuse me, but this dress is mine. I saw it before you, and I’m paying for it, sorry.” Lucy glared at the woman. She didn’t think people with this behavior were still roaming about. How would someone be snatching things in broad daylight? The woman's face turned red with anger, but she didn't back down. “I don't care if you saw it first,” she spat. “I want that dress, and I'm going to get it.” The woman was followed by two bodyguards. Seeing Lucy was being stubborn, she called out to them. “What are you standing there for? Strip her.” She commanded. Lucy and Jane were shocked at how arrogant this woman was. Jane felt something was not right. It’s not like they knew her from somewhere, why is it that they were the only ones she wanted to snatch their dress? It’s like there is history between this woman and Lucy, Jane thought. But on second thought, Lucy’s body language didn’t show she knew this woman. What was her agenda? “Are you crazy?” Lucy shouted as the bodyguards walked tow

Banks enterprise. The Banks enterprise was busy as usual. All employees were busy with one thing or the other. Leonard walked out of a meeting room with his assistant, Rachel. “Good day sir,” a different voice from a different angle greeted Leonard as he walked to his private elevator. He nodded at them, a small smile could be seen at the corner of his lips. He entered the elevator with Rachel, going back to his office. As the elevator closed, the employees started gathering together. “Have you noticed that the president has been smiling much lately?” A female employee with a big chest said. “That’s true, his cold face has some warmth on it nowadays. Did you think the president had a girlfriend?” Another female employee asked, her face full of gossip. “That’s impossible, president Banks has never had any scandal of having any girlfriend before, dismiss that thought.” Someone scolded. They all said their opinion before going back to work. “Sir, assistant Rachel's voice sou

“Welcome President Banks.” Mr Robert greeted Leonard with a small smile on his fat face, stretching his hand forward for a handshake. Leonard nodded curtly at Mr. Robert, his expression unreadable as he took his hand. “Please, let's get started. I'm sure we're all busy.” He took his seat at the head of the table, his team and lawyer following suit. Mr. Robert cleared his throat, his voice booming through the room. “Of course, Mr Banks. I appreciate your time. I'm sure you're aware of why I'm here today?” Leonard's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing. “I believe so, Mr. Robert. You're here to discuss the potential collaborations between our companies.” Mr. Robert smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Exactly! I believe our companies would be a perfect fit, and I'm willing to make a very generous offer to make it happen.” Leonard leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together as he regarded Mr. Robert thoughtfully. “I'm listening,” he said, his voice neutr

“Hey bro, what’s up.” Eric's tone was heavy with fatigue through the phone. Leonard, who felt something was wrong with Mr. Robert's earlier proposal, called Eric immediately after he reached his office to look up this “Hey, man, what's going on? You sound exhausted,” Leonard's normally firm and commanding voice was surprisingly gentle. Eric sighed heavily on the other end of the line. A moment passed before he continued. “Just been up all day working on a case. What about you? What's new?” A moment passed before Leonard finally opened his mouth, his words slow and deliberate. “I just had a meeting with a mediocre investor, and I need you to look into something for me.” Eric's tone was a little faster now, with a newfound enthusiasm. “What kind of something? And why had a meeting with a mediocre investor? Did your company lack people who check up on proposals before being submitted to your desk?” His tone excited seeing a case he knew how to do best. As soon as Eric asked this

Jane’s familiar figure flung her arms around Leonard's waist, pulling him into a tight hug. The warmth of his body enveloped her, and the subtle aroma of his cologne, a scent she had grown to associate with comfort and safety, wafted up, filling her lungs. Her eyes sparkled as she tilted her head back, her face alight with a bright smile. “Surprise!” she exclaimed, her voice bubbling over with excitement. Leonard, whose hand was still on the cold metal, holstered in his pants, froze abruptly, staring at Jane. His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open as he stood frozen, his gaze fixed on Jane. His face was a picture of stunned silence, his eyebrows arched in astonishment. Her familiar floral scent wafted into his nose, reminding him that the person in his embrace was real. Jane’s smile faltered, her eyes clouded with uncertainty as she misinterpreted Leonard’s stunned expression. She thought he was unhappy with her surprising him at work and her face fell. She tried to pull back, t

Singapore. Bank Group Headquarters. 10:00 P.M. At the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Marina Bay district in Singapore, Leonard, who was sitting poised behind the expansive mahogany desk in his office, was a picture of refined elegance. His broad back was a testimony to his rigorous workout routine. His slender fingers danced across the keyboard of his sleek, shiny black laptop, the words flowing onto the screen with lightning speed. As he typed, the soft glow of the desk lamp cast a warm, golden light upon his chiseled features, illuminating the sharp planes of his face and the intense focus in his eyes. The city skyline outside, a dazzling tapestry of twinkling lights and towering skyscrapers, seemed to hum with energy, a subtle counterpoint to the quiet intensity of Leonard's work. Finally, with a soft click, Leonard shut down the laptop, his fingers stilled on the keyboard. He leaned back in the plush, black leather armchair, his eyes closing in a mom
Broken to finding love Chapter 57: Family support
Jason's grip on the phone tightened as he anticipated whatever the Banks wanted to say. He just hoped they hadn’t found anything about his daughter’s previous marriage.“Hi Jason, how have you been?” Reginald's cheerful voice echoed in the silent living room from the phone. Jane shifted her butts on the sofa impatiently.“I’ve been good Reginald, thanks for asking.” Jason tried sounding as calm as possible. Reginald's cheerful voice continued, “Great, great! I was calling to discuss the rehearsal dinner for tomorrow. We've finalized the details, and we are using the ‘fruitful palace’ restaurant. I will send the details to you later.”Jason's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he realized the call wasn't about Jane's previous marriage. He glanced over at Jane, who was watching him with bated breath. He gave her a subtle nod, and her face relaxed, relief written all over it as she sagged back on the sofa.After speaking with Reginald for some minutes, the call comes to an end.Jane’s

“Dad, I’m telling the truth, believe me, Dad. I’m in love with Leonard. I would never call off this wedding.” Jane's hand was placed on her chest trying to make her father see her sincerity.Jason's expression was incredulous. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His daughter, who ran away from home just because of this marriage, was in front of him declaring her love for the same man she escaped. This is unbelievable.Jason shook his head, still trying to process what Jane just said. “Jane, I don’t know what you are playing at right now, but let me tell you, I won’t let you try anything stupid this time around,” Jason said, his voice firm. “You always hated the idea of getting married to Leonard and now? Jason took a step closer to Jane, his footsteps heavy, “what changed Jane, what changed.”The aura emitting from Jason was so strong that Jane took a shaky step back, trying to be as far away from her father as possible. “Dad,” Jane's shaky voice tumbled out. Though she was afrai

Jane smiled weakly, her hand on Desmond's own that was holding hers as she reassured him. “I'll be fine, Des. Don't worry.” She gently pulled her hand out of his grasp, giving her mother a small reassuring smile before following her father to his study.As Jane walked to the study, her heart was heavy with how her confrontation with her father might go. As she entered the study, she saw her father standing by the window, his back facing her. The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight peeking through the blinds. The air was thick with the scent of papers and ink, a familiar smell that always brought her back to her childhood memories of playing with her father in this very room. This was the first time she was entering his study after her disappearance. Everything was just as she left it.The study was cozy, revealing its masculine space, with dark furniture and grey interiors, burgundy carpets that muffled her footsteps. The walls were lined with floor-to-ceiling booksh

Leonard picked up the phone, his brow furrowed at the caller ID. Rachel, his assistant, wouldn't have called him by this time if it wasn't important. Leonard taps on the green answer icon on his phone before placing the phone on his right ear. “Yes, Rachel, is anything the problem?”Jane felt uneasy at the mention of that feminine name. She didn’t know anything about who worked for Leonard, so she didn’t know Rachel was his assistant. She tried covering her unease by playing with the button on Leonard’s white shirt. As Leonard listened to whatever Rachel was saying, his brow furrowed even more. “What do you mean the Heart project has been compromised?” Leonard's voice rose, his words sharp with anxiety. “How did this happen? The team that was handling this project, didn’t they see this coming?” Leonard roared into the phone as his hand which was caressing Jane's hair froze midair. Jane felt a shiver run down her spine. She hadn’t seen Leonard being angry before. It’s like he was dis

“Ahh,” Jane shrieked at the sudden spank on her butt. “Leonard, don't be so shameless.” she hit him on his shoulder as he walked towards her bed.“How did hitting my fiancée butt made me shameless huh?” He nibbled on her right ear as he placed her on the king-size bed. Jane's eyes widened in surprise as Leonard's warm breath tickled her ear. She tried to play it cool, but her cheeks flushed with excitement. “Hmm, her lips parted as a light moan made its way out of her red lips.After Leonard placed Jane on the bed, he stood up looking at her flushed face. Leonard almost loses control of his almost naked body. The silence between them was not awkward at all. Jane shyly gazes at Leonard's naked upper body. This was the first time she saw almost the naked Leonard, though they both slept in the same room every day, they respected each other.Jane's eyes roamed over Leonard's chest, her gaze lingering on the sharp lines of his collarbone. She felt a flutter in her chest as she took in the

“Jane?” Leonard whispered her name as he stared at her reflection through the bathroom mirror. Was she sleepwalking? He didn't think she would be waking up soon after all the drama earlier. The soft glow of the bathroom light illuminated her face. Jane, who was still oblivious that someone was in her bathroom, walked to the toilet seat and lifted her gown to pee.Leonard swiftly turned around, his gaze fixated on the little woman who hadn't realized he was in there with her. Jane lifted her pink nightgown to her navel region, her black panties on display giving Leonard quite a show.Leonard's eyes widened in surprise at her plump backside, he quickly averted his gaze, his face heating up with a mixture of embarrassment and desire. He stood frozen, unsure of what to do next, as Jane continued to prepare for her late-night bathroom visit.Jane, still oblivious to Leonard's presence, lifted the toilet seat and began to take care of her business.

Ten in the Night.Leonard parked his car quietly in front of the Lockwood main gate. Since it was the wee hours, he decided not to alarm anyone in the mansion. Only the security at the gate who opened the gate for him knew of his arrival. Leonard silently strolled into the Lockwood mansion, his footsteps silent as he walked down the dim hallway. He was impressed by the top-notch security placed around the mansion. If not for his kin sense of security, he would have been caught by one of the security devices installed around the mansion. He sneaked into the main house, walking straight to Jane's room. He wondered which room might be hers. He only knows the floor her room was, and not her exact room location. He had been there just once.He walked down the hallway wondering which of the rooms with numerous doors was hers. The full moonlight that seeps in through the window and the dim light in the hallway guide him on a pale path down the corridors. After a few minutes of walking, he f

“Jason, how dare you slap our daughter like that?” Evelyn rushed forward, standing in front of Jane, shielding her from her father's fury.“Get out of the way.” Jason, whose veins were still bulging at Jane's earlier revelation, warned his wife.“No, I won't. Had you listened to me two years ago and discussed her marriage with her understandably, would all this happen?” Evelyn's words tumbled out of her mouth not minding her husband's fury.There was a slight crease in Jason's eyebrow, but he didn't want to back down from this issue. “If you hadn't spoiled her so much, she wouldn't have made such a big decision without our knowledge. And did I hear you blaming me for forcing her into a marriage?” Evelyn's gaze shifted from her husband at his words.“Have I ever made a wrong decision for her? Who among the women in this country doesn't want Leonard? She is my daughter and I can't push her into something bad for her future.” Jason harshly shoves Evelyn out of his way due to his anger, m
