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

“Leo… President Banks,” her voice barely rose above a whisper. “I thought she was your sister. I'm sorry if I offended you.” The words tumbled out in a rush, her tone hesitant but certain. “Since you already know the answer, can you please leave?” Leonard's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in annoyance. “Leave,” he said, his voice low and even, but with a sharp edge that cut through the air, as he saw Stephanie still standing there. The temperature in the parking lot seemed to drop, and the atmosphere grew tense. Stephanie's smile faltered, and she took a step back, her eyes flashing with anger. But she quickly regained her composure, her expression smoothing out into a mask of professionalism. “Of course, President Banks,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She turned on her heel and walked away, her high heels clicking on the floor. As Stephanie disappeared from view, Leonard's gaze returned to Jane, his eyes softening as he took in her jealous expression. “Hey, ar

An hour later.Jane doesn't know how she made it home. After parking her black sedan, she walked into the room. “Miss, you are back. Madam would love to see you.” One of the servants at the Lockwood’s mansion happily walked up to the listless Jane. Seeing that Jane wasn’t in a good mood, the servant hurriedly made way for Jane as she walked into the living room.“Jane, you finally know how to check up on your family. You didn’t even come to check up on me, your mother after all this while. You haven’t gotten married yet and… Jane, what’s wrong with you?” Evelyn finally noticed her listless daughter.Jane raised her head. Seeing her mom, she rushed into her embrace. “Mom, she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of her ragged breathing. “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have made him feel insecure.” “Jane, what happened? Did you fight with Leonard? Ohh, my poor baby.” Evelyn soothed Jane’s back, just like she always did when she was a child. “It’s okay, everything will be fine.”

“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

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

Teddy groans in pain as Leonard continues hitting him. He wanted to push him away and retaliate, but Leonard didn’t give him the chance.Jane rushed out of the car immediately after she got back her strength. She circled the car and ran towards Leonard. Although she enjoyed how Leonard was teaching Teddy a lesson, she couldn’t stand and watch Leonard kill someone.“Leonard, that’s enough!” Jane yelled at the top of her voice, but it seems like Leonard didn’t hear her at all. He continued his assault on Teddy, whose face was already swollen, with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.As Jane saw that Leonard wasn’t ready to listen to her, she stepped forward and held his fist which was raised in the air to punch Teddy. “Leonard, that’s okay. You can’t continue hitting him like that.” Jane shook her head at Leonard when she realised that she had his attention. Leonard shut his eyes, trying to control the anger that was still brewing inside of him.“Are you feeling sorry for him

On the highway.“Hmm,” Jane squinted her eyes as she moaned in pain due to how uncomfortable she was feeling. She didn’t know where she was as her brain was yet to register what’s going on.“Dear ex-wife, you are awake.” Teddy voices out behind the wheels immediately he hears Jane’s painful moan. It was then it dawned on Jane that she had been kidnapped. She didn’t know what happened to her earlier that made her lose consciousness. She also noticed that she was in a moving car. She was resting her back on the car backrest with her hands tied behind her.The first thing she did was to check her surroundings. She noticed the car was going downtown, almost making its way out of Manhattan.“Teddy, where the hell are you taking me?” Jane said calmly, not wanting to give her abductor the impression of being scared. She prayed in her mind that someone should have notice her disappearance by now. She regretted why she didn’t call Leonard earlier and inform him about Teddy, who mysteriously b
Broken to finding love Chapter 99: Finding Jane
Lily was the first to notice Jane’s disappearance. The moment she walk out of the company, her gaze subconsciously went to the parking lot, where she saw Jane’s waterproof laptop bag she had helped her pack earlier, lying on the floor without Jane’s presence.She looked around, but she couldn’t find Jane. Her mind went abuzz, dreading the worst thing that might have happened to her boss. “Mrs. Bank? Jane! Where are you?” Lily's voice echoed all over the parking lot, but there was no sign of Jane. It was like she had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Just when she was about to pull out her phone to inform Leonard what just happened, James pulled over in front of her.“Where is Mrs. Bank? Is she still inside?” James asked as he walked up to Lily, whose body was shaking with dread. “I don’t know where she is. She was waiting for you as always. I just went inside to get something, but I couldn't find her. I only saw this bag laying on the floor. I think she might have been kid

“Jane, are you alright?” Lily asked immediately after she closed Jane’s office door behind them. She had felt how Jane’s mood had fluctuated the moment the new business partner was introduced. Jane had left the conference room immediately after the meeting ended.Jane walked to her desk in a daze. How she had made it back to her office, she can’t say. She was still in shock after seeing that person. According to her brother, he would become a partner with their company, not only that, Jane would also be attending any of their business dealings.“Jane?” Lily had never seen Jane so lost before. She had called her name thrice after she sat down, but it seems like Jane was in her own world. She didn’t seem to hear her.“What’s wrong with you, Jane? Are you sure you are okay?” Lily was worried about her boss. She felt helpless for not being able to know what was wrong with Jane. With all Lily’s questions, Jane didn’t seem to hear her.“I think I would have to call Mr. Bank and tell me wha

A month later.“Jane, it’s almost time for the annual meeting.” Lily, who was carrying some files in her arms, walked into Jane’s office, closing the door behind her.Jane raised her head up from her laptop for a brief second to glance at Lily, before continuing what she was doing. She saw that she still had almost twenty minutes before the meeting started.“I’m almost done with balancing this account. Let me round up, and we are good to go.” Jane’s fingers ran across the keyboard of her laptop with a fast pace, which was almost invisible to the eyes.Lily walked forward and dropped the files in her arms on Jane’s table, watching her boss with admiration. Jane could feel lily’s hot gaze on her body without even raising her head.“Did you have something to say?” Jane didn’t stop what she was doing as she questioned Lily.

As Jane stepped out of the elevator with Lily trailing behind her, someone called onto her.“Jane!” Hurried footsteps sounded behind her. As she turned around, she was greeted with the smiling face of her brother, Desmond.“Hey brother, how are you?” Jane greeted Desmond, who was studying her. Jane signaled for Lily to leave. She was only there to direct her to the conference room since it was her first time being here.“I’m good, Jane. I don’t need to ask how you are doing. It seems like my brother-in-law took very good care of you during your honeymoon. Look at how your skin is glowing.” Desmond teased, making Jane blush.“Desmond, stop teasing me. Are you also going for the meeting.” Desmond nodded. “Let’s go, or else we will be late.” Jane said with concern. She doesn’t want to be late for her first meeting.“Alright. Let’s go.” Desmond led the way, while Jane followed behind him. A minute later, they were standing in front of a room that had the tag ‘CONFERENCE ROOM’ boldly writt

“Have we met before?” That was the question Jane asked the moment she saw her assistant's face clearly.Lily finally had the courage to look into Jane’s eyes. Shaking her head, she denied ever meeting Jane before. “No, Mrs. Bank, we have never met before.”Jane threw her thought to the back of her mind, not dwelling on whether she had met her assistant before or not. “What’s the matter with you? Is someone bullying you in the office? Or did I look scary?” Jane asked, not understanding why her assistant wouldn’t even look at her in the face.“No…, no Mrs Bank, no one is bullying me.” Lily stammered as she waved her hands. Looking at the way Lily immediately denied her claims, Jane figured out that her guest might be right. Jane doesn’t know why she felt the urge to protect her assistant. Maybe it was because she saw her past self in her.“Come here.” Jane commanded. Lily rushed forward and stood in front of Jane’s desk. “You don’t need to hide anything from me. You and I will be workin

Two weeks later.A flashy red car pulled in front of the Lockwood Cooperation. The back seat door was immediately opened after the driver rushed forward.“We are here, Mrs. Bank.” James informed Jane the moment he opened the car.A pair of legs clad in black heels stepped out of the car, before Jane’s full body stood tall outside the car, her green eyes covered with her dark sunglasses. Jane was putting on a white pants trouser, with a powdered blue blouse. Her black bag which was one of the gifts Leonard had showered her with during their honeymoon, complimented her heels and sunglasses.“Wow, who is that woman? Is she one of the representatives of the Smith’s Group? She is so beautiful.”“I think she looks familiar. Is she some known celebrity?”As the employees of the Lockwood corporation were making their way inside the building, they couldn’t help stopping for a few seconds to admire Jane, while some of them felt like she looked familiar.

Leonard woke up to the bright sunlight seeping through the floor to ceiling window into the room. He squinted his eyes slightly before his vision finally got used to the brightness.Turning to his side, he was greeted by the sight of Jane, who was snuggled on his chest. Her soft breath tickled his naked chest. Her lips were slightly opened as her chest rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing.Leonard took in Jane’s beautiful features like he couldn’t get enough of her. “Good morning, sunshine!” Leonard whispered into her ear, before moving closer to her as he placed an adoring kiss on her forehead.“Good morning, Hubby. How was your night?” Jane's eyes flew open the moment Leonard's lips left her forehead. She gave him a small smile as her big green eyes stared at him lovingly.Leonard's lips curled up as he returned her smile, before his hand wrapped freely on her waist, drawing her closer to himself.
