Leo and Stella walked into the banquet hall. Ben and James stood there waiting behind the door.They bowed to their boss and his lady. Stella smiled at them, she always thought that they were her good friends."How's everything?"Leo asked his bodyguards who were in charge in general for the company on this event."Everything's going well, boss. So far so good. The president and Madam are over there talking to important guests."James answered."All the guests have arrived and are served. And you are on time, boss. In a bit, the opening speech will start as scheduled."Ben took his turn to report to the boss.Leo looked at his father. He sat at the head of the VIP table. He wore an elegant dark suit, talking to a group of businessmen and acquaintances.On the other end of the table, his mother was sitting there. She looked beautiful in a light blue evening dress her hair was bunned up professionally. She was talking with a group of women. And his parents sat facing each other. Remindi
"That night, I am sorry."The gentle voice whispered near her ear. His breath was hot that she felt goosebumps all over her skin. She was aware of his tall and strong body with muscles. Michael always took good care of his health. He still had a very well-built body without fat on his stomach. The age only made him look more dignified and powerful."I forgot it already."Said the soft voice. She was lying. She had never forgotten that night. The night he returned to see that she was packing her suitcases, preparing to move to the country home.He was very angry. That time, the children had gone to bed already. They had talked about it before and agreed that Leo would be with Michael while Sam would go with Jacqueline until he grew up. Michael stormed out after saying harsh words to her. He also kissed her aggressively with no gentleness as if he wanted to punish her. He went out again and did not come back until morning.When he came back, it was too late that she had already left wit
It was one a.m., Sam came back to the penthouse and told everybody that all went well as plan. So, Leo rang Ben and James to tell them the latest situation. The two were stationed at the electrical control box for the VIP floor! That would be the next step!They were in the kitchen as Sam and Sofia were hungry. Stella served them the Thai porridge. They were scooping it down and no talking. Leo was sitting and put in arm around Stella's shoulder.Stella noticed that Sophia did not talk to Sam much. And she was grumpy when looking at him. Stella did not want to interview any of them yet. She let them eat first and would talk to them tomorrow about their problem. For now, everybody had to help the president to get his Queen back first."What's the matter? When are you going to stop making that face at me?"Sam could not stand it anymore. She was so irritated since they left England and did not talk to him. When he asked she would answer with her snappish tone.Sophia refused to look at
Jacqueline brought her suitcase and her belongings to Michael's room with his help. He put all in the bedroom. He put her suitcase near the wardrobe. She hung the dresses in her arm in there. His clothes were hanging nicely on the left, she put hers on the right."You can take a shower first if you want. I will have to arrange my clothes first."Jacqueline told him. Michael nodded easily. He took off his suit jacket and hung it on the wardrobe door then took off his white long-sleeved shirt. Jacqueline turned her side to him. She felt a little uneased as it reminded her of their time together."I won't take long." The deep voice said and walked to the bathroom. She glanced a little and saw that he put on the hotel soft bathrobe. He disappeared.Jacqueline still was not sure if it was a clever decision to stay in the same room as him. But she had no choice. No way she was going to let Sam and Sophia travel to stay at another place. Her baby had just arrived from the long journey. She w
Sam and Sophia had finished taking a shower just before the power was cut off. Sophia leaped onto the bed while Sam walked to the big windows and pulled the curtains open to let the light from outside shone in. "You can go to sleep in the living room."Sophia ordered. She pulled the blanket to cover up to her neck. Sam ignored her order. He walked to the bed and jumped in, snatched the blanket from her to cover himself, left Sophia only a corner of it! She snatched it back and he did not let her do it easily so they were fighter over the blanket like two children!"Hey! Are you crazy? This is my room. I don't mind to share it with you and now you can't just have the blanket for yourself. It's so freaking cold here. "He said while pulling the blanket to cover himself. But Sophia pulled and she got the whole lot back. She hurried to flip and roll to get it to wrap around her.Sam was not able to pull it anymore so he dragged her to embrace and put his long leg across her thighs. Sophi
When they returned to the penthouse. Ben and James had all their shopping bags up to the living room and let the boss take care of it after that. Leo had put some bags in the bedroom and put the rest where they belong as Stella instructed him to do. He was thinking about the unfinished business with Bernardo. It was about John's debt which the jackass Bernardo was messing about by not picking his phone up to talk and sort it out properly with him. So he thought he should give Bernardo a visit, get it over with.So Leo ordered the car to be taken out again after they had dinner."Where are you going? I thought you are going to invite your parents, Sam and Sophia to talk about Christmas."Stella asked the man when seeing him put on his jeans and black jacket ready to go out. It was dark already as it was winter.Leo walked to her and pulled her into his arms. She smelled lovely as always. "My father called me already, he is taking my mother to dinner at the restaurant. Sam and Sophia
Bernardo shouted out loud, skewing his face with disgust. And then he had to turn to shoot at the enemies at the same time.Leo felt so dizzy because of the way Bernardo was pulling him too quick."Help me, Birdie. My back. Ork!"He pointed at his back. Bernardo did not understand."What?!!""Oh, fuck! I feel so fucking sick. Rub my back, quick!"He ordered Bernardo. Normally, when Leo had morning sickness, Stella would pat and rub his back gently to soothe him and to help to get the thing out of his system and it worked every time. Bernardo gasped, could not believe what he just heard."What?!""Hurry up! ... I must throw up to get all out of my stomach to get it over with. ...Fuck, man! pat my back. Now! QUICK!"At this time the fighting began to subside. The sound of many cars drove away from the area. And soon everything stopped. The fighting was over.Leo was now in a crawling position. Bernardo stood beside and hit Leo's back hard!"Ouch! Shit, man! Do it gently! Ork!... Are y
Leo was in the car back to the hotel. He put his hand in his pocket and frowned when there was no phone in there!"Holy shit! My phone. I've lost my phone."He said furiously."Where did you lose it, boss?"James turned to ask. Leo shoved a hand in his hair. He felt so frustrated to just realize as he was going to call Stella to tell her that he was on the way home."I think when I was fighting and jumping around. Or it could be in my jacket's pocket. Call Bernardo's men. Ask them to look for it for me, James."Leo told James. James had Murphy's number so he hurried to call."What is it?" Murphy's voice came through."My boss has lost his phone somewhere in your boss's property. Find it for him, will you?"James asked. Leo had noticed that his bodyguards and Bernardo's bodyguards were acting like friends rather than enemies."How the hell could I do that?"Murphy asked and sounded unwilling to do so.Leo sent a signal that he would talk to Bernardo."Murphy. Is your boss there?"Leo a
