Alex

As soon as I woke up the following morning, the first thing I did was to go check on Leia but then I walked into the head-maid whom I met at the door and she told me that Leia was still fast-asleep.

Although the time was just 5am, I still got inquisitive and commanded her to open the door. She hesitantly obeyed and I saw that Leia was indeed fast asleep.

Seeing her asleep made me relax but I was still worried.

I wanted to ask Leia's nurse-maid to brief me about Leia's health but I decided against it. Maybe it’s better I come check on her later.

I wished I could explain things further to Leia, not like I’d ever been good with handling women but since this is all about Jericho, I don’t mind playing cupid.

Hell, I hate to see my brother at his worst and I’ll do anything to remedy the situation. As soon as I arrived back at the penthouse, I got busy.

Dealing with Lucita's scandal had made me slack off. There was piles of paperwork to attend to which apparently, I had to fix them

    The urgency in Alfonso's voice made my heart skip for a split second as I looked into my phone. I turned back in and told Leia I had to go attend to an urgent matter.She smiled back and I took my leave. It was a good thing to see her smile.I ventured into my car and drove down to Alfonso's chambers. He was standing right at the entrance with a blank expression on his face. His hands were folded behind him.Immediately when he set his eyes on me, he turned around and led the way. Was he waiting for me? He was in front while I trailed from behind, trying to meet up with his insanely high pace. On getting to his chambers, he walked slowly towards his seat and sat on one of the arm rests. His blank gaze turned cold as he looked at me. I shifted uncomfortably where I stood as I waited to hear the reason for the meeting.“What audacity! You took your boss’ ex to the torture cave!” he shot at me. I wanted to ask how he found out, but then I remembered he was Alfonso and pretty much kn

    LeiaI did not know Alex would leave abruptly, I had wanted to tell him to help me connect to Jericho. Jericho might be ditching my calls but I am sure he must be communicating with Alex.I was overwhelmed by Alex's dutifulness. His single act of commitment last night made me find out the truth behind Lucita's scandal. And this evening, he was here with a doctor.I smiled happily but my smile turned sore when I remembered Jericho. He needs to come home. We have a lot to fix. I had said some hateful words to him and I knew they hit him hard.Well he has many explanations to do. I still need to know how he ended up with Leia in a hotel room. Knowing that he was lured to do what he did, did not cancel the fact that he was involved in the act. The video clip propped into my head again and I shut my eyes as I tried to shut the unpleasant memory.I dialed Jericho's line all through the night but it was still switched off. There and then, I knew I had to reach out to Alex to get through t

  • Entangled With The Mafia Boss   Making Up

    LeiaMy throat was patched and my eyes were puffy due to how badly I’d cried over the phone to Rya. Was I really crying because of Alex's condition or was that just a facade to cover the fact that I’d really cry out all the pains and anguish in my heart caused by Jericho? No matter how I tried to not, I just couldn’t control my heart ache when Jericho walked right out on me. I’m the victim here right? he’s the one who’d cheated on me. Aren’t I the one who’s supposed to be giving him the cold shoulders? Yet the reverse seems to be the case. Knowing that he wasn’t really at fault made me feel like I’m the bad guy now and knowing how worst Alex's condition is hurting right now while I’m here upset that he’d to leave me alone made me feel so guilty—so guilty that it hurts. Is this how love really is? You’re ready to suffer pains in silence just to be the understanding wife to your partner?! Tired of staring at the beautiful dark sky allured with stars, I left the window side and wiped

    LucitaIt wasn't long before I realized that I was followed. I had snuck out of the property to see Andro.The news of Alex's accident had traveled far and wide and it was unsettling. I needed to confirm if Andro was behind it.Well, I already did my mathematics and I knew he was behind it.Alex took me to the torture chambers in the morning and at night he was involved in a hit and run. I heard the accident was bizzare. Well, it is typical of Andro.If he was indeed the mastermind, then it means he has his men watching me.I hadn't informed him about the torture and I did not intend to do so. I wanted to see him to give him the piece of my mind. He should stop meddling in my affairs. All I wanted back is Jericho and nothing more.Getting anyone killed is not my thing, all I wanted is Leia gone.Well, I think I won't get to see him this morning. I had tried to cut my tail but those tailing me were professionals, they beat all of my schemes easily. Andro would have my neck if I blew hi

  • Entangled With The Mafia Boss   Passions

    RyaTowards evening, while still with Leia, trying to break through the awkwardness that was as thick as metal in the room, she got a call. Seconds after the call, her eyes lit up and I could only hope it had to do with Alex. A slight grin made its way to her once weary face. “He is awake,” she announced.My heart leaped for joy at the mention of that. I didn’t even know I had jumped up from my seat in excitement. That had to be the most exciting news I had gotten that whole year. I gave her a quick smile, grabbing the coat that I had earlier hung on the chair. I had never been more desperate to see someone and I wouldn’t blame myself. It was hard not to feel that way for someone you considered special. Although the prevailing circumstances drove a wedge between us, my heart still longs for him and that's why I am here. I hoped I wouldn’t die from awkwardness.“Hey, where are you going? We can use my car” Leia announced. I had not realized that I was making my way to the front door

    Leia’The abundance of joy in my heart when Jericho served me breakfast in bed was immeasurable. It made me grin like a cat, and guess what? This man prepared my favourite meal, Risotto, but unfortunately, it has become my worst meal ever since I got pregnant.Well, my morning sickness had improved and I thought I would have a blast but I was wrong.The smell of it alone made me nauseated but in a bid not to ruin the whole thing, I managed to take a few bites. At the fifth bite, I puked. I couldn’t get to the restroom in time, I puked on Jericho’s fine suit. He grimaced but his irritation was quickly replaced with worry and panic. “Are you alright?” he said, rocking my back to steady my heavy breath. “I...I’m fine…I'm sorry… I did not mean to… you should go take care of yourself.” I said weakly, pushing him away from me but he didn't let go. While I was concerned about him, he was more concerned about me.He led me to the restroom and didn’t leave until he’d cleaned me up thoroug

    LucitaNervousness and anxiety clung to me like a heavy coat as I walked as fast as my legs could carry me. I was so shocked when I heard Leia call me by my new name. It turned out that she wasn't as lukewarm as I had thought.I was so sure of myself when I walked in here to claim back my man, but with my cover blown, the best was to retreat.I shook my head as rage overwhelmed me. It weakened me each time I saw her and I couldn’t do anything to bring her down. She most certainly had Jericho's big protective arms wrapped tightly around her, preventing her from getting what she deserved.I went back to Nonina’s chambers to grab some of my stuff. The last thing I wanted was for all my plans to go down the drain while I was at Banda’s mansion. Jericho would rip me apart if he heard I messed up again.Grabbing a pen, I scribbled some words into a note. Words that wouldn’t make it seem like I was running. Only the guilty ran, I had grown to learn that. Maybe if I blamed Jericho for my disa

    LeiaI opened my eyes and they fluttered crazily as they adjusted to the light. It was morning and sun rays had stolen in through the blinds.I yearned and without turning around, I tried to touch Jericho but his space was empty.I smiled wearily without turning around. I slept in again. I did not expect Jericho to still be cuddled up in bed till this hour.I had become a heavy sleeper. My doctor said that it was due to the pregnancy. I had increased in weight too. I hated my new self but Jericho kept preaching to me that I was doing great. I knew it was all for a show but my mind was at ease, I now have my man to myself. It's been a month since Lucita left, she must have fled because she knew I was almost blowing her cover. What a scaredy cat. I stretched out my body and got out of bed. "Sandra?" I called out for my nursemaid as I expected her to be in already. Silence prevailed and she was nowhere to be found.I shrugged it off and began my day. I groomed myself up and put on o

    Jericho POV, Few minutes has passed since Leia and her nurse maid left for the rest room. I have been technically bouncing on my toes, never had I been this impatient and aggravated all my life. Time was tucking away, yet there was no trace of Leia. My head had literally turned into a standing fan, spinning back and forth for a sign of her but there was no trace. Fed up of the shit, I decided to make a move but just as I made two steps away from my standing position, I felt a hand grab my arm making me twirl back to see it was Alex. My eyes instantly turned to inferno. “What?!” I gritted my teeth, my whole being burning with rage. Alex squirmed his face before sighing and said; “Tell me you aren’t fucking going to meet Leia in the restroom. You’ve to calm down! Give them some privacy, man! It's the ladies not your personal closet.Calm down? Really? Is that a joke or sort?How can I? when I am literally angry with entirely everything right now. Starting with Alfonso; the nerve of

It was meant for Jericho, he was summoned to come alongside Leia. Yeah, that is big boss for you, he takes the bull by the horn. I informed Jericho and soon he was down in Alfonso's chambers with his wife. I was also present."Given the fact that you were just informed about Russo's death, I had thought I will receive your visitation but it never come," Alfonso said to Leia as soon as we walked in.Leia said nothing. She bowed in greetings without responding."What can you say about your friend. I mean Tyler," Alfonso went straight to the point and showed Leia a seat.Leia looked surprised and looked questioningly at Jericho."Did you report me to …

When I walked through the shadows of death, he was the only substance that kept me fighting for my life. I am back on my feet and there is no way I can live on without him.Since l'd left the Bandas' mansion, I could not but think about him. Apparently, I might have lost him but I can't lose him for real. We can't remain under the same sky and he would be locked up in another woman's bosom.No! It can never be. The thought alone is infuriating. I will rather have him taken out. Yes, if I can't have him, no one would. Neither Leia nor some other women.At this point I could not help but think that Andro's intervention made me lose Jericho. If I had returned to him earlier, he wouldn't have met that bitch. And when I returned, Jericho couldn't feel my sincerity. I had grown past the naive and gentle lady he knew.Well, I won't cry over spoilt milk. I have lost Jericho

Jericho was busy with Leia and the task was not something I could give out to our subordinates.It was the end of the month and I had enough on my plate. Reports had rolled in from every one of our facilities around the world. I had to audit the whole thing and ascertain that each facility is doing well. This task is usually handled by Jericho or me.Jericho has been hanging around Leia since things started to fall apart between them, leaving me to face the heavy workloads.I knew this was going to happen when he kept such big intimation from Leia. Yeah, he did it with a good intention. He did it to protect her but hey, he should have known that Leia isn't a weakling, she won't welcome such an excuse.Thinking about it all aroused my curiosity. I am more curious about the source of the whole malady. Isn't it strange that a man from nowhere was the one who broke the news to Leia? A fucking childhood friend or whatever. I s

Impatience turns to rage as I waited for the fucker Luca to gave arrived already.And In a few hours, which felt like eternity, Luca finally arrived along with the other men. With a smirk, I watched as their cars zoomed in furiously and they all alighted. I nodded sideways toward one of the guards standing at the rare end of the rooftop and he knew what to do. He bowed and in a few minutes time, he led Luca up all the way. “If you don’t h
