Eleonora stumbled, almost falling, she was unable to figure out what was going on with Leonardo. “I'll get help, master.” She forced back her tears and made to leave when she discovered that Leo had clutched her hand tightly. She tried to free herself from his grip but he was far too strong— even in his sleep. She lowered her head to try and pry his fingers off but noticed that his eyes were slightly open. The more she gazed into them, the more she understood that his pain was truly more than meets the eye.“Master, you have to let me go. I have to go find help.” She whispered.“Stay.. stay with me.” He muttered weakly, his voice barely audible. She wiped the foam off his mouth and wiped her hand on her skirt before going to caress his hair. She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with him. Why was he just shaking and choking? Was he convulsive? “Do you have medicine?” She questioned, concluding that he was probably convulsing and needed his medicine. Perhaps, his sickness tri
“You called me.” Eleonora said, standing before madam Gigi in her office. “Yes, I did. Take a seat please.” Madam Gigi sighed, going through the laptop on her desk. She was the only one who was permitted to have a computer or a phone for record keeping purposes only.“I hope all is well.” Eleonora couldn't help but notice the foul expression on madam Gigi's face. She wondered if she had done something wrong, and tried to retrace her steps.“Everything is fine Eleonora. I received an instruction from mistress Anna-Marie and that's why you're here.” She answered and Eleonora immediately got uncomfortable. “What? What did she say?” “I told you to stay out of trouble, didn't I? Why did you think it was nice to sleep on the boss's bed and step on his sister's toes?” Madam Gigi asked, a gloom on her face. She really liked Eleonora, and wanted the best for her. “What could I have done?” Eleonora furrowed her brows instantly. “He was having spasms and I…”“Enough. I don't want to know. T
“Here's your food uncle.” Eleonora smiled sweetly, setting down the tray of food in front of Pablo DeLuna who was equally smiling at her.He was an old man in his late sixties, a wise man who the clan looks up to. Being Leo's only surviving uncle and Frederico's father, he was highly respected and valued in the clan.“Your medicine is ready too. When you're done eating, I'll give it to you.” She added and he nodded his head.“Thank you.” “Do you need anything else?” “I don't. But my dear, there is something awfully familiar about you.” Pablo said, squinting his eyes as he stared at Eleonora. Her eyes wandered nervously.“I.. I don't think we've met anywhere else besides here. You must have me mistaken with somebody else. Could be a doppelganger.” She giggled nervously, tucking a lose strand of hair behind her ear. “Could be,” Pablo nodded, sipping his coffee. “If you don't need anything else, I'll be on my way now.” Eleonora bowed before trotting off. Pablo couldn't help but stare
Seething, Anna-Marie stormed out of their presence, mumbling inaudible words to herself until she was out of sight. Eleonora realized that she had been holding Leo all this while and quickly let go, lowering her head as he turned to face her.“She asked you not to come back in here, didn't she?” His voice echoed, sending chills down her spine. She struggled to find her words, her eyes wandering nervously.“I hate it when I have to repeat myself.” He almost yelled, getting irritated and she startled.“I'm sorry.. she did.” She responded quickly.“Then why did you disobey her?” “I.. I was just worried about you. After what happened that night, I…”“Nothing happened that night!” He barked at her and she flinched, letting out a squeal as she had not expected him to raise his voice so suddenly. She glanced up at him but his deadly glare forced her to look away again, shaking from fear.“I don't want to hear you utter another word about that night! And don't you ever..! Don't you ever thin
“I'm sorry.” Eleonora mumbled, getting back on her feet. She refused to look up at Leo, his words still resonating in her head. What did he even mean?“It's fine. Leave.” Leo turned and started walking away. Anna-Marie did not leave with him, rather, she stood there with Eleonora, her face red with anger.Eleonora was uncomfortable, she didn't like Anna-Marie's gaze on her so she tried to walk away.“Where do you think you're going? You cheap slut.” Anna-Marie fired all of a sudden and Eleonora looked up at her with furrowed brows. How dare she call her a slut? “Mistress, I would appreciate it if you didn't call me that again.” She said, trying to sound as polite as possible but Anna-Marie laughed.“And what are you going to do if I call you a cheap slut? Isn't that what you are? You think I don't see how you shamelessly throw yourself at Leo? Do you really think he'll notice you?” Anna-Marie scoffed, boiling in rage. “You better stay away from him, or I'm going to make sure you pay
“Nothing is going on, believe me master.” Eleonora bowed her head again, avoiding eye contact at all costs. Staring at Leo for too long might cause her to burst into tears and that would further complicate issues. She did not want to be the reason why two brothers would turn against each other or get into an endless brawl for the rest of their lives. Leonardo didn't want anything to do with her anymore, but she was aware of how possessive men could get even with things they considered useless to them.“Nothing?” Leo raised his brow.“Yes master.” Leo didn't say anything after that, he simply turned around and left the room, asking Frederico to come with him. As soon as they left the room, Leo faced his cousin with a deadly glare.“What was that?” “I don't understand Leo. What are you talking about?” Frederico seemed confused but Leo scoffed.“You must think that I'm stupid, little brother. Don't mistake my silence for ignorance.” Leo huffed. “Why are you sexually harassing my slave
Nicholas swung into action immediately, racing through the raining bullets to get to Leo who had been fatally shot and bleeding on the floor. His eyes were wide open, his face showed no signs of pain, his eyes cold. “Protect the goods.” Leo muttered, struggling to speak. Nicholas quickly ordered the others to follow Martinez’s men who were already running towards the loaded shipment.Nando and Nicholas were left alone to defend Leo, shooting at the men who were viciously firing at them. They managed to pull Leo's limp body behind a shed, and then they finished off a few of Martinez's men.When the other back up entered, Martinez knew it was time to leave, but he was satisfied that he got to shoot Leo, believing that he would be dead soon. He called off his men immediately, and they retreated. “Fucking asshole! It's too easy.” Martinez scoffed before turning around. He went back to his car, shielded by his men and drove off. His men followed suit, leaving the DeLuna clan members alon
The truck finally screeched to a halt, the forced stop causing Eleonora to tumble over in the back of the truck. Her head slammed against the cold, aluminum floor, forcing a wince out of her. She struggled to get up, the chains that were binding her legs and hands not allowing for a lot of movement.She heard the door the truck slam shut and her heart sunk. It only meant that she had to face the mean man again. Not only was he rough, he manhandled her and treated her like a piece of rag instead of a human being. She heard his heavy footsteps, which finally stopped and was followed by the loud cranky noise of the trunk opening.Eleonora started to shake from fear as the doors finally creaked open, revealing the huge, bald man. Not once had she seen any expression on his face, his big, flat nose was always scrunched up and he always had a toothpick sticking out the corner of his lips. He stared at her, letting out a low grunt. The stench of his white tank top which had almost become br

Eleonora could not help the warm liquid that trickled down her thighs, and it was not from the water running down the shower head. With her mouth slightly agape, she stared at the man in front of her, wondering how he was always able to break down her walls and turn her on in ways that no other man had done.This forced her to recall her life before she came to Leo's mansion. Never had she had a man cause her knees to tremble by his mere words.. Then again, she wasn't allowed such benefits back then.“What are you staring at?” Leo took a step towards her and she found herself backing away, until her back was against the wall. Her breathing became heavier and heavier, she thought she was going to pass out, Leo's eyes made her tremble in fear and lust.“You look so hot when you're horny.” He smiled and she bit her lip, fighting the urge to tell him to claim her already. He came closer, and in no time, his palms had engulfed her mounds, giving them a gentle massage, while her knees con
“Let me see it, come on.” Anna-Marie insisted, taking a step forward into the room. She stared intently at Eleonora, waiting for her to make any sudden, suspicious movements. Eleonora gulped, her eyes wide and alert. She knew that anything she did at that moment would get her into trouble. Knowing that Leonardo wouldn't even save her from this witch's clutches made her even more afraid.She switched the phone to her other hand and then handed it to Elizabeth who also has her hands behind her. Elizabeth almost gave them away, but she chose to trust Eleonora and keep her cool.“Didn't you hear me? Let me see your hands!” Anna-Marie yelled at Eleonora who quickly displayed her palms, showing that she had nothing in her hands. Anna-Marie was not convinced, she knew something was up and she wasn't going to stop until she got to the root of it. “You two were talking about some contraband, so I want to know what's going on.” She demanded, scrunching her forehead in a bid to intimidate the
