~ The next day at noon ~Leila never thought that Dante would let them return back to Mexico city, even though she didn't like the place, she wasn't at any time comfortable when she was at Dantes'. It was during evening when they arrived, Leila retired to her room and Dominick went out to Renee for work. Leila had tried to persuade him before not to go out and to take his rest because he hadn't fully recovered but he wouldn't listen. Dominick felt like he was lagging behind because of the business deals he had missed when he was under Dante's custody. He had to go catch up on them. Thereby, leaving Leila alone in the mansion. She stayed In her room for so many hours, awaiting his return back to the mansion. Leila did so many chores, arranged her room, despite the fact that the maids already did that. Leila redid it just to while away time, but he still hadn't come back. She laid down on the huge bed and tried to catch some sleep but it was highly impossible for her. "Argh!" Leila excl
In the VIP room of the city clubhouse, Dominick Castillo sat on the green couch smoking his cigarette. The atmosphere of the VIP room didn't seem like that of a clubhouse, it was quieter than a usual club room would be. Dominick made it so. It was his clubhouse and his private meeting room. During the past, he used to have sluts come here to meet him, he brought in different women in this place. Not until he met Shantelle and he made the room their private room. Being there at the moment, he reminisced of those times that he was with her. He couldn't deny the fact that he still has some soft spot for her despite her betrayal. But his heart can never be for Shantelle again— as Leila already took over. Within a short while, the door opened and Shantelle walked inside to meet him. She used her hands to fan her face, dusting the smoke that covered her view. She knew Dominick to be a heavy smoker, but he smoked too much already. The room was barely ventilated, due to the strong security h
Renee entered inside the bedroom after receiving Dominick's permission. He met him drinking whiskey while he stood faced the window gazing outside. The night was cool and Dominick enjoyed the views outside his mansion. Sometimes, he loved watching the staffs from his window and inspecting all of their activities. "How long were you planning on keeping it away from me?" He questioned Renee as soon as he walked in. Renee instantly understood what he said. He swallowed deeply on his dried throat before proceeding the speak."I was planning on informing you that doctor Liam refused to leave. I wanted to force him out but he begged me so I thought that…." He paused halfway through his sentence. Renee realized that the more he explained, the more Dominick got angry. He never should've disobeyed him and allowed Liam to stay in their mansion. He regretted his actions and he fell on his knees immediately and he begged. "You thought what?" He asked Renee. Dominick moved from the window and wen
A pair of eyes sprang open all of a sudden, Liam's vision was still blurry as he looked around the room that he was in. Liam never thought that he would make it alive when Dominick shot at him. He instantly checked himself to see if he sustained any injury but he realized that he didn't. He had passed out from just a gunshot sound. Liam was so scared that Dominick would shoot him earlier. Now that he survived, he had to flee. Liam stood up from the bed quickly and he went towards the door. He wanted to leave so that Dominick wouldn't return to kill him. Maybe, he will succeed this time. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes met a pair of emerald eyes gazing at the door. Leila was just about to open up and enter when he rushed outside the room. "Doctor Liam. You're awake" Leila said. "Thank goodness" she exclaimed. Earlier, when she saw him unconscious on the floor, Leila assumed that he was dead. She didn't realize that he passed out from shock. Liam still wasn't sure that he wante
The bright sunlight flooded inside the room and it hit directly at Leila's face— making her wake up from her sleep. She stared directly at the plain white ceiling. Feeling exhausted, Leila could barely get up and she felt a throbbing headache so she placed her hand on her forehead for a bit. Before she could move further, Leila extended her touch to the other side of the bed, searching for Dominick who was nowhere to be found. Upon realizing that his side of the bed was empty, Leila jerked up and sat upright. She picked up her phone and checked what time it was because she noticed how bright the day had become. 10 a.m!. Leila panicked and she stood up immediately. She shoved her legs into the furry slippers on the floor and she rushed outside the room. Leila didn't bother to wash her face, all she wanted was to see Dominick that morning before he left. By the time she reached the living room, Liam informed her that Dominick had already left and Shantelle went out with him. Leila frown
"I.. I can explain" She quickly blurted out, frightened by what he might do to her. He was already staring at her in a deadly manner."How long do you plan on keeping it away from me?" He asked her. She hurriedly picked up the documents and scrolled through them, it had her signature on it. She wasn't able to come up with any lies to defend herself. "Please forgive me, I… he threatened me" she stuttered, pleading. Leila was so frightened as she recalled what Shantelle told her."You shouldn't betray Dominicks' trust in you. You know what he does to betrayers" She stared down at the documents she held and she realized her mistake. She had just betrayed him. Death is the penalty for betrayal. The words rang a bell in her head.She stared at Dominick for a while, she was expecting him to bring out his gun from the drawer and shoot at her but he did nothing. Instead, he poured himself another glass of whiskey and drank it in one gulp. "You've betrayed me, Lei. But I will forgive you j
Leila just finished eating the last piece of meal on her plate. It was her second meal for that day and it was almost evening time. She slowly stared at her mobile phone which continued to beep as a result of the phone calls and text messages she was receiving from her aunt. She finally picked it up on its last ring. Thankfully, Dominick wasn't anywhere in the mansion so she could pick up the call."What do you want?" Leila asked her aunt— knowing fully well what she wanted. "Don't tell me, you slut." Grace cursed out loud. Leila was frustrated, she tried to remain calm and speak with her. She knew how cunning Grace could be and she didn't want to implicate herself. "Like I already told you, I don't have much money on me" Leila stated. She breathed heavily on the phone, her anger got the better of her. "Let's meet at 6 p.m. give me any amount you have" Grace declared and ended the phone call hurriedly. Leila looked at the time on the phone. It was past 5pm Leila left the dining ro
LEILAI turned and stared at the angle where the voice came from. Even though I already recognized his voice, I needed to see him to be sure. "D… Dominick" I stuttered. I least expected him to be here, he was sitting a few seats away from where I stood. I almost fell down as I lost my balance from shock. What the hell is he doing here of all places? I questioned myself inwardly. Did he follow me here? I asked myself.I managed to lean on a chair to support muss as the bus continued to move. It suddenly felt hot inside the bus, especially now that I saw Dominick. He just sat there glaring at me with his dark eyes which hold so much questions. After staring for a while, Dominick stood and walked towards me. I didn't move, I waited for him to come to me. As soon as he reached where I stood, he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me close. I felt my heart beat faster in my chest— I swallowed deeply on my dried throat. I just couldn't made due with his presence which exuded his no
