"What are you saying?!"The furious voice of the tall figure asked his men to repeat what they just said."Er, she's escaped, boss."James answered sheepishly. They both were making sure to keep away from the big boss as much as possible while reporting the incident.Leonard stood still when hearing the news. His handsome face was grim. There was anger splashed from his dark eyes. For Ben and James, The boss looked like the master of hell who had a ruddy scowling face and fire in his angry eyes, ready to burn everything that came on his path."How did you let this happen?! I did warn you, didn't I, huh?!!! How come the big bodyguards like you, two idiots, let a small woman slip away. Damn it!"Leonard was so angry with what he had just heard. He should have trusted his own instincts, he should have known that he couldn't trust her! She was very daring to escape him in front of his men like this!"She ...Er, She's very smart." James said. Ben sent a signal to his friend, telling him to
"Okay, bastard. Order your followers to stop now. Let's just make it man to man, only you and me as usual." Bernardo shouted. Leonard nodded in agreement then the two bosses shouted to break their men apart at the same time."STOP!"And that was it. The big and tall bodyguards of both sides stopped immediately, feeling a bit disappointed once again just like last night when the two bosses kept the fun to themselves.Bernardo threw his fist directly to Leonard's face. But Leonard stepped aside to avoid the heavy punch and then sent his kick bang on Bernardo's abdomen. Both exchanged their fists and kicks, having the bodyguards watching closely.The tall and well-built men leaping and punching each other for the second consecutive time in two days. Their faces had evidence from the fighting all over. This time, they would add more creases and broken lips.Until the two men kicked each other to the opposite corners, breathing quickly and raised their hands to wipe the blood at a corner o
Stella decided to fly to England to see Sam and Sofia. She was glad and relieved when the plane finally floated in the air. She had only a cross-body bag with her in the end. Everything else was left behind. But however, it wasn't important, things you could always buy anywhere in the world and she was not a person who was attached to material things.To escape Leonard, she thought it had got to be far away. She knew he would send people after her but if she was not in Las Vegas anymore he couldn't do anything to her for now. Now she had time to think what the next plan would be.She thought she would go to her beloved friends first before flying to Thailand. In Thailand, she would be saved. Leonard wouldn't follow her there she strongly believed that. After all, he didn't follow women as she had heard it from his very own mouth. And if she didn't want to take a deal. He had to go back to deal with John and that was the end of the story. No more involved with the evil mafia, the evil
Six days had passed so quickly.Leonard was angry and edgy more and more as time went by. Because he had promised himself and announced out loud to his men that he would drag the woman back here, to cook for him in ten days and now it's halfway gone already!James and Ben went to her apartment every day but there was no sign of her. Leonard even hired a detective in Bangkok to find out at her real father's place thinking that she might have flown to Thailand But did not get any satisfactory news.Now, it was the sixth day on the watch. James and Ben were at the apartment parking lot when they saw a young pretty woman wearing a T-shirt, a pair of jeans and a small dog's leash in one hand stopped at the front of their car. As the car had dark films on so people outside couldn't see inside. So they were watching her. Ben turned the engine off she didn't even notice the surroundings, as she was only focusing on the phone and the dog.They didn't think anything at first but watching her be
At the Town Square. People were glancing at a very handsome man wearing a brand name suit, wearing sunglasses on his attractive face. He had a leash in one hand with a very small brown puppy running alongside and around the man and the dog, there were ten men in a dark suit. The gangsters with a puppy weren't easy to see, so it was quite refreshing for people to enjoy the picture. They were heading to a pet shop."Which one do you prefer, boy?"The smooth voice asked the puppy, in front of them there were colorful pet beds, soft sofas, and cushions. Only James and Ben were with Leonard and the puppy, the rest of the bodyguards were standing outside."Arf...Ei! Ei!" Summer made noise and sniffing at a pink bed in bear paw shape."No pink. Never pink, boy. You are not a girl, alright?"The boss talked to the puppy, Ben and James glanced at each other trying to hide their smile."Arf!" Summer tilted his head to eye the boss as if he was saying he liked that one."Red or brown. Brown is g
Sam said with a light cheeky tone and gave Sophia a peck on her cheek. He believed it was a joke Ben shared with friends."Hey, you idiot. Look! This is not good. Why someone's putting a knife on the puppy's head like that?!"Sophia pushed the cheeky man off the couch and ran to Stella's room. She was staying in the room opposite Sophia's. Six days now since Stella flew here and now she was looking for a ticket to fly to Thailand. Because she knew it was not a safe place. The mad mafia could come here at any time without her knowing."Wine, look at this little puppy. You used to say you want one like this. It's Yorkshire Terrier."Sophia shouted to Stella who was lying on the bed. Sophia jumped on it and lay down next to Stella, sharing her phone screen. Stella looked at the picture on the phone screen and her eyes widened immediately."Oh! No! ... No! ... not ... not ... not true."Stella shouted with a panic, staring at the phone unblinkingly!"This is ... This is ... Summer, my bab
Two days later, Stella took a flight back to Las Vegas quietly in the hope that Ben and James would take Summer to Evelyn's clinic.When arrived, she checked in at a small hotel, did not go to the apartment or her mother's because she was pretty sure that Leonard would put his men there to watch her. Stella called Evelyn who had just got back from the seminar in Boston."I'm glad to hear from you, Wine. How was the holiday with your boyfriend?" Evelyn's question made Stella paused immediately. What the heck did those crazy men tell Evelyn?"Holiday with my boyfriend?""Yes. The two guys, James and Ben, your boyfriend's bodyguards told me that you and he went on holiday abroad."Evelyn was confident with what she said. Stella frowned and gasped.What?!"Your boyfriend's so handsome. James showed me the picture of you two in the restaurant. So, are you back now?"Stella sighed, gathered from what Evelyn said. James and Ben told Evelyn that Leonard was Stella's boyfriend, they had her pi
Leonard bent down to kiss her beautiful breasts, deep down he could feel the longing tucked at his emotion. The fragrant scent of her flawless skin.She let the crazy lustful mad evil mafia took advantage of her. She tried not to get swayed easily by his kisses and sucking and licking on her nipples. Her mind was thinking about his bold and sharp mean words he had thrown at her.Now she was in the devil tiger cave that had no way to escape easily. Again now, if she used physical force, and words to hurt him, she wouldn't be able to win the fight. Because this man's face was as thick as the concrete so words couldn't scratch his thick skin. And he had got every weapon to fight against everybody who dared to challenge his power and didn't do what he said.So, what tools had she got left to use to fight against the bad man like Leonard?What could she do?But She was not raised to be a weak and foolish woman. She was not going to bow to him or to be the victim. When he insulted her like
When Stella was due to give birth, Leonard took her to the private hospital. He was with her all the time in the delivery room, supporting his beloved wife. Until when he saw the baby came out in front of his eyes. Leo felt so overwhelmed with happiness to witness and being with her in every step of the baby's natural vaginal delivery. The doctor and nurses did what they had to do according to the procedures in the delivery room.Later on, Stella was transferred to a VIP room. The little baby had perfect health, weighed 7.5lb. He could cry very loudly as though he was trying to announce his coming on earth to everyone to know. "Very good. That's my son! You must be loud and clear just like your father." The new father was very pleased with his baby. He was standing and looking at him in the cradle. Stella was looking at the tall handsome man who never left the baby's side yet since they had arrived in the room.He looked up at her then walked to sit on the bed beside her and bend d
That night, everything went well. The party had finished at midnight. In the penthouse, Stella stood in front of the mirror. Leonard came to embrace her from behind and planted a kiss on her shoulder. They looked at each other in the mirror. He lifted her left hand up with his. They were wearing wedding rings. He smiled happily while looking at their joined hands. "Do you like the ring?" He asked, raised her hand to kiss. His heart was overwhelming with happiness. They were really married and their hearts were united as one now. "Yes. I love it, especially the message." Stella answered. His ring was engraved 'Forever Wine' on it. And hers had 'Forever Leo' on it. He reached out to rub her belly gently. "Hey, baby. Your mummy and daddy are now married. Are you happy? I love you so much and I can't wait to see you." He said softly while caressing her stomach gently. Stella smiled. He was so adorable when he was talking to the baby like this. Leo turned her to face him. "From now
"You don't have to put your nose in my personal business and worry about me. Just pay attention to your own stuff. Mine is well taken care of."James said and lifted the glass to sip. Ben laughed in his throat."Really? I am glad to hear that. But let me know if you need my help. Looking at your slow motion I don't know how many more New Year's Eve to count down for you to get your own Eve."Ben was teasing his slow friend."Hey! Have you ever heard the saying...Slow but sure? A good man won't take advantage of the woman he cares for." James responded. "Wow, since when you become a gentleman?"Ben pretended to make a shocked look."Well, when you meet the right one, you will understand, man. And stop barking. It's time to count down now."James said. Then the boss raised his glass up."Ready everyone? Let's do it!"10... 9... 8...7...6...5...4...3...1...Happy New Year!Then the boss pulled his missy to kiss to celebrate their new year and more happy moments to come.Two weeks after
Stella kept herself warm with a thick and soft sweater, coat and scarf. She wore black jeans and boots. All that was because Leo had to make sure she was not going to get cold. The square and shopping center was crowded, full of shoppers. People were walking and rushing like armies of ants, their hands were full of bags. The big Christmas trees, the lights, and all decorations made the atmosphere look exciting and made people feel joy in their hearts, ready for the special time of the year.Stella walked hand in hand with Leo having Ben and James followed."Don't walk too fast, you might stumble. And I don't want people to walk into you." Leo said. Stella smiled at him and nodded just to give him peace of mind."I think you should go and sit down at the coffee shop. Let me do the shopping. It looks crazy and I don't feel like seeing you walking here and risking to be knocked down."Leo said when he saw that there were too many people. He decided to take Stella to the nearest coffee
"Yes, they are. But I have put them nice and tidy in the drawer for five times already and you keep taking them out like this, um..."She was teasing him. Leo shrugged and ignored her words.Ben and James were laughing silently, so amused to see their big boss being crazy around the baby's cute stuff. It had been a week since the boss found his missy and brought her home. Now they understood each other and being so sweet to one another. "Wine, don't walk too quickly, you're gonna fall."The sentence Ben and James had heard a lot recently. The boss warned his missy every time when she lifted her feet from A to B which was only in the penthouse and it was a very safe area."I am very careful here, don't worry."She said and lifting Summer's toy basket up. Leo hurried to take it."Don't lift it. Why are you so stubborn? How many times do I have to tell you not to carry any heavy things?"He scolded. Stella looked at the man who carried Summer's basket and picked the puppy's toys up from
After eating, they returned to the room at 1 a.m. Leo carried his small suitcase which he always had in his car just in case.They brushed their teeth and changed clothes and jumped into bed and snuggled together. The weather was cold outside but warm inside just like their hearts right now, warm and filled with love. "I missed you so so much."He said and kissed her gently. Stella put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. They were telling each other by using the action to show their love to one another until the room was filled with the heat from the love telling process."I couldn't eat or sleep. Without you, life isn't the same for me. "The deep gentle voice whispered. The big hands removed all his and her clothes and finally naked.He touched and kissed her until she felt her body become hot from the heat of desire."Me too." She whispered back to him. They caressed one another until their breathing had become faster. Leo kissed on her neck and licked her nipples. He s
Stella lifted her face up to look at him."Let's get inside."She said and pulled him into the room and closed the door."How did you find me?"She asked, walked to sit down on the edge of the bed. Leo followed and sat beside her."Summer."He answered. She nodded to acknowledge as Summer had a tracking device on him. She looked down at her hands. He pulled her into his arms again. She leaned her face on his wide chest. He put his chin on her head."Why did you run away from me? I worried to death that you might be in danger and get hurt."His voice shook when asked. Stella bit her lower lip, trying not to cry."I am just stupid. I don't know what I was thinking. I am sorry to make you worried."She said with a sober voice, the tears started to flow out again. Having seen him like this, she was happy but hurt by the memory buried in her heart for a long time. Leo pressed the chin on her head."I understand."He said gently, his hands touching her back to soothe her.Leo felt relieved
Leo drove to the apartment parking lot. He was hoping she was here. Somebody opened the door and he followed then he went up to her apartment and was pressing the bell. But nobody answered. So he was sitting on the floor in front of her room.Leo called James to asked if she came back home yet but the answer was no. He kept calling her and left messages. Time had passed slowly than ever for Leo. He called Sam and Sophia in case she decided to join them but they did not know and now they were worried, too.Leo believed she would be here so he was sitting leaning against her room's wall. He was awake until three o'clock then he fell asleep. Leo woke up about five. He rang the bell in case she came and sneaked in while he was sleeping but no response. He went down and asked the security there. The guy said he had not seen her come."Where are you, Wine?"Leo was so worried and stressed. The weather was very cold and she had not taken her medication and supplements with her.Where did she
Stella told the taxi driver that she wanted to stop at the supermarket on the way to the apartment. There was a place that allowed small pets to go in with their owners.She wanted to buy a few things, milk and coffee for example.When being outside like this, she felt lonely. She missed him because of the habit that he had always been with her by her side. Why did she let the silly emotions attack her like this? The feelings of jealousy and painful memory. She should not let it hurt her at all. As it was not the present. It was the past and it's long gone."Oh ... I'm sorry."Stella hurried to apologize when her trolley accidentally bumped into the back of an American woman."It's okay. No worries."She turned to said to Stella and she was staring at her for a second. "Um ... Are you Thai?"She asked. Stella nodded and gave her a smile."Yes. I am. How did you know?"She was surprised that the lady could point out."Well, I am an American-Thai.""Realy? Wow! I am Stella Willaiwan,
