Leo's POV When I saw Mrs. Talkoa wailing, I knew that they must have gotten the news of their son's death.Mr. Talkoa’s face was really satisfying to look at, and I couldn't help giving him a slight smirk.“I will kill you!” He rushed over angrily and pointed his gun at my head. I knew he didn't have the guts to pull the trigger, as he clearly knows what end will await his entire family if he acts so stupidly.I didn't have to say anything, and I just kept staring at him with a smile. Seb and five other men came in and pointed their guns at his wife, who was already shivering in fear.“I have no idea why your gun is pointed at me, but I will give you until the count of three to get your little toy off my face,” I said with a calm tone.“My son knew nothing about my plans,” he said with an emotional voice."1,” I started counting without even giving him a glance.“You really think that you are untouchable, huh?” He said this with his eyes now turning red."2,” I said with the same cal
Leo's POV As soon as I walked out of the venue, my body suddenly went weak, and I could feel a wetness on my shoulder.“You are bleeding, get into the car quickly ” Cam said worriedly.“Zach came with us, so just relax,” Seb said to her, and she immediately calmed down.“Boss, I know you have missed me a lot,” Zach said as soon as he got into the car.He is my childhood best friend, but he chose to leave the Mafia and live a normal life. Which was an impossible dream, as he only enjoyed a peaceful life for six years before the enemies he made while in the Mafia came knocking at his door.They killed his pregnant wife and two-years-old daughter, and he came to me for help with seeking revenge on them. He got his revenge, but his loved ones were lost forever.“Hey, where's your mind?” His question pulled me out of my thoughts, and I just gave him a slight smile.He quickly changed my bandage, and I was about to rest my head for a while when my phone started ringing.I saw that it was a
Leo’s POV“I am at the Talkoa’s estate or what is left of it. The only son and heir of the Talkoa family, Devan Talkoa, died yesterday and the cause of his death has been hidden by his family. His funeral was scheduled to be held this morning and their family members flew in from around the world as it is a tradition for every family member to be present for such an event.But in the early hours of the morning, the Talkoa family’s villa was burnt to ashes and none of the family members survived. The police are working hard to retrieve their bodies as I speak.The fire department chief has announced that the fire was caused by careless handling of cooking gas as the fire had started from the kitchen but this is just their speculations and more investigations are being carried out” the reporter's voice echoed in the sitting room.I turned off the television and threw the remote on the sofa. The only thing on my mind right now is Amira, who hasn’t woken up since last night.“Boss, Mr. Da
Amira’s POV I was shocked to hear his voice, and more tears kept spilling out of my eyes.“Hey, are you okay?” He asked with a slightly worried tone, but I couldn't speak as I had no control on my emotions.“You don't have to listen to whatever they say to you; I want you to know that you are not alone and that Cam, Seb, and I are always here to support you.I know this might sound pretty awkward to you because we have only known each other for a couple of days, but that wouldn't change the fact that I am always watching you and won't let anyone harm you,” he said with a serious tone.I don't know why, but I suddenly stopped crying, and I wasn't feeling as sad and lonely as before.“If you ever need anything, just tell your new housekeeper or the new gardener. They are my people that I placed in the Davis family,” he informed me, and I couldn't help getting emotional again.“Thank you,” I said with a choked-up voice.“Get some sleep; you need to go to school tomorrow morning,” he sai
Amira’s POV “Do I know you?” I asked with a confused expression, and his expression immediately turned ugly.“You should be grateful that I even took the initiative to speak to someone like you,” he said with an angry voice.“I never asked you to speak to me in the first place,” I said with a frown.“Do you know who he is?” A girl who heard what I said asked me angrily.“Do I look like I give a damn?” I asked her with a slight smile.“Some people really don't know where they belong,” the girl said while glaring at me.“That's enough; you all need to be more welcoming." Miss Scarlett said it with a frown.“And Mason, the chair lady already told me about your relationship with Amira, and I hope you will respect yourself around her,” she said to Mason with a frown.The entire class erupted in whispers, and some of the girls kept giving me bombastic side eyes, but I just kept smiling as they were too insignificant in the grand scheme of things.“Have a good day, class,” Miss Scarlett sai
Forced To Death The sound of heels making contact with the cemented floor filled the dimly lit rooftop.A girl wearing a long red gown and red heels walked to a hidden door at the corner of the rooftop. She enters a password and does a retina scan before the door opens, and she makes her way in.The room is filled with light, unlike the outside. The girl walks to a corner and smiles evilly.There appears to be what looks like a hospital bed in the corner. On getting to the bed, the girl's smile became more sinister and twisted.“Hi sister,” she said with a mocking tone.On the bed, a young woman's hands were chained to two bed posts. She looks emaciated, and her eyes appear lifeless. But it doesn't hide the fact that she was a beautiful woman. She has sea green eyes and long black waist-length hair.“The nurse said that you refused to eat.” She asked the sick woman.“Sasha, I am still shocked that you are the one doing this to me,” the woman said slowly, and tears began to roll down
Reborn At EighteenA smile appeared on her face as she waited for the pain.THUD!As her body collided with the ground, Amira suddenly gasped and woke up from the bed.She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stared at her hands in disbelief.She clearly died from the fall and could still feel some lingering pain in her bones. How could she be completely fine now?.Wait a minute.She looked around and found that the room looked familiar. The old bookshelf, the broken window, the old bedbug-infested bed—this was her home in the small village where she lived with her grandpa.She quickly ran out of the room, not caring if she was dreaming or not. She went to the sitting room, but her grandpa wasn't there.“Amira, you finally woke up.” Sima said while smiling at her sweetly.Amira found the smile really creepy, as this aunt never liked her, nor does she care if she dies from starvation.She ignores her aunt and walks up to the calendar on the wall.“Umm, Aunt Sima, what is today's
Suspected "Hello, sir,” she said, trying to speak to him. She could tell he was injured just by looking at his unusually pale face and the cold beads of sweat on his forehead."Sir, I can help you,” she said as she opened the back door to check on his injury. “What are you doing?!” she asked as she dodged his attack and immediately held him down. She easily subdued him because he was injured.“I want to help you, sir,” she said, but he quickly moved his body to the other side to protect something that was covered up on the car seat."Sir, you can trust me; I promise to help you,” she pleaded softly, and the man turned his face towards her. They locked eyes for a few seconds before he finally moved closer to her without any hostility. “Please move closer so I can have a better view.” She breathed a sigh of relief as he moved closer, making the thing he was protecting visible.“Is the baby okay?” she asked, quickly making her way to the other side of the car and opening the door to c
