"TOBIAS...YOU FUCKER."She harshly banged on the window as she glared down at him with her red and teary eyes. Once again he stood in front of her with that evil smile of his and once again she felt helpless. He looked down at his phone, his fingers moving as he typed something. She kept her furious gaze fixated on him. She heard a ding coming from her phone but didn't look down. He raised his head as well as his right hand.With a devilish grin, he waved at her, and with that, he turned around and started to walk away. She gritted her teeth in anger and immediately pulled her hands away from the hot burning glass. She didn't realize her hands were burnt too. With a painful look on her face, she bent down and grabbed her phone with her palms as her fingers were burnt and pained like hell. Due to the loss of grip, her phone fell to the ground again. She didn't pick it up and stared down at the picture of her dead family. Tears streamed down her eyes as a sob escaped her lips. With so
"I have to go now," Leah said while standing up from the chair once she was done eating. "But where will you go?" Damon asked while putting his spoon down on the table. "I need to go back and check my place." She said and he quickly shook his head. "Rest for a day, you can go tomorrow." He said but she shook her head and made her towards the entrance.He followed her behind and didn't try to stop her. He gave her mother's shoes and a coat to her along with her cell phone he grabbed while saving her. Once she was done putting on her things, she nodded at him and walked out of the house.Once she was out of the house she opened her phone. Her eyes narrowed once she saw ten missed calls from Ava, sixteen missed calls from yuri and more than fifty missed calls from an unknown number.She immediately realized it was Igneel.Her hold tightened on her phone and she decided to call Yuri to tell her she was fine. While she was walking down the footpath, calling Yuri. She paused on her steps on
"Let go."Leah tried to snatch her arm away from the man's grip as he dragged her inside a huge mansion guarded by plenty of bodyguards. The guards all had the same cold stare and giant figures. Barely any one of them was a normal-looking one. "Let go." She yelped when all of a sudden he paused and slightly pushed her forward, she couldn't stabilize her steps and fell forward on the floor. She snapped her head back and glared at the man who was looking somewhere else. She followed his gaze and froze for a good five seconds when she saw someone sitting on the couch of the living room. The living room was so huge but the interior was so dark and so was the lightning. She could barely see someone sitting on the couch in front of her but a lot farther.The man bowed at the person sitting on the couch before walking backward and soon he left the mansion, leaving her and this man known as Igneel alone in the dark and cold living room."I heard you tried to get hit by a car." He said in his
"Boss," A knock echoed in Igneel's room.Igneel who was sitting on his master chair in the corner of his room, silently staring at his darling's face was snapped out of his thoughts by the sudden commotion outside the door. He's been sitting on this chair for two hours straight. Seeing her sleep on his bed, wrapped up in his sheets filled with his scent makes his heartbeat. He is surely whipped for her.He rarely blinked as he stared at her sleeping, thinking she would vanish in thin air if he closed his eyes, he barely blinked. It took him a while to calm her down. He even forced her to sleep for a while. She wasn't sleeping when he was around, her eyes followed him everywhere, sending Sparks of joy down his body. He can't believe himself....he can't believe how stupidly crazy he is for her.He stayed out of his room and waited for her to sleep. When he was sure she will be asleep, he sneaked inside the room and silently sat down on the chair. One thing she noticed was she kept to
"No wonder why she changed so much....that Tobias will pay for it," Igneel said as he gritted his teeth in anger. "You said, he killed her family but what happened to her?" Igneel asked while looking at Mia. "I don't know what happened to her after that," Mia said with her head hanging low as tears streamed down her eyes. "Would you care to explain yourself?" Igneel asked in his deep and rough tone as he was now pointing the tip of his gun at her forehead. She flinched and looked up at him while shaking her head. He had such a dark look in her eyes, she visibly trembled under his gaze. She couldn't believe how much Igneel has changed."I had no choice. It was either my family or hers. What d-do you expect me to d-do?" She asked while crying. "S-She never exposed him. H-He just wanted to make h-her suffer because she helped y-you" She continued while crying. He lowered his gun and stood up from the chair. He turned around and glanced at Samuel, telling him to let her go. He was abou
Both of them stood there stiff. Tears were streaming down Yuri's eyes when Leah on the other hand was in a perplexing condition. Why was the gun pointed at Yuri too? What was happening?"Yuri, let's go somewhere else and talk," Leah said in a calm tone and grabbed onto Yuri's arm but she snatched her arm away and shook her head at Leah."There is nothing left to talk about." She said and looked right into Leah's eyes. Leah took no time to understand that Yuri was held hostage by Tobias. Her eyes said it all. Then why did Igneel lie about her affair with Tobias? She couldn't comprehend anything but right now she knew she cannot trust anyone. Not even Igneel. These so-called Mafia people don't care about anyone. "Enough, Come with me, let's go back," Leah said and tightly grabbed her arm, she started to drag her with her whole might and Yuri tried to protest with her the whole night. "Where will you take me? The people you had died and the things you owned are burnt down to ashes." Y
"What the hell do you think you are? Put me down." She gritted her teeth in frustration as he carried her on his shoulder again and walked inside the mansion. Yuri silently followed them. She didn't even try to help Leah. Once they were inside the mansion. Igneel ordered the maids to take care of Yuri while he on the other hand started to walk upstairs with her on his shoulder.She raised her head to look at Yuri and saw her and all the maids looking at them. They were so shy and flustered as if they were being carried by him. They were acting like this on Leah's behalf.Leah on the other hand huffed out and grabbed the back of his coat with her hands. "Blood...there is blood in my head." She said, her voice cracking because she was not feeling well. He didn't say a word and kept walking. He grabbed her waist and pulled her down a little. She placed her hands on his shoulders and finally raised her head. Her feet weren't touching the floor. She huffed out and slightly looked down at
"Now, I did so much hard work. Can I kiss?" He asked. His hot breath roamed her lips. She gulped and looked down at his lips before looking up into his sharp eyes. He had such a sharp and dark look forcing her to lower her gaze again. She can't help but wonder if he was the same shy Igneel she knew back then because he has changed so much. "Ahh...uh..." She kept her gaze low. She asked herself...' Do I have any feelings for him? I sure had feelings for him back then. What about now? Is there a reason for me to deny it?' He wasn't kissing her, he was waiting for her to kiss him. She slowly raised her gaze and looked into his eyes, he had the same intense look within them. She lowered her gaze to his lips and raised her trembling hands. She slowly grabbed his cheeks in her hands, her thumb caressing his cheek in a circular motion as her four fingers were behind his ear. "T-Thank you." She said and with that, she brought his face a little lower and attached her cold lips to his warm
Mateo?Freya?Is it you two?Is this a dream?Snapping her eyes open, the first thing Leah saw was the falling sun ray striking her face through the slightly opened curtain. She knitted her brows in a frown and closed her eyes, turning her face to the other side. Her eyes darted toward the clock hanging on the wall, it was 5: 30 PM. She rubbed her eyes and kept lying in the same position for a while. Her mind recalled her dream again and again where she saw her unborn kids. Her hands automatically caressed her pregnant belly. Igneel died by getting shot.She died during childbirth.She gulped the lump in her throat, this dream was possible if Igneel died that day, the bullet targeting his heart, fortunately, the bullet dodged his vital points and he survived.She closed her eyes and smiled. Her hands are still caressing her pregnant belly.And now they were married for two years and were soon about to have twins. The kids she saw in her dream... were her unborn babies. A boy named M
"Slow down, you guys go quietly and sit on the couch. We will leave soon." An old lady said in a scolding tone. The two little kids shared a glance. One had a mischievous naughty intention in his eyes while the other one innocently did what she was told to perform.She walked towards the couch with her little feet and with a lot of difficulties managed to pull herself onto the couch as she watched her twin brother follow behind the old grandma."Grandma, Mateo is following you to steal the cookies." The old lady who was walking towards the kitchen swiftly turned around with the cookie tray in her hands. The cookies were yet to be baked. She eyed the little munchkin following behind her and passed him a scolding look but that did nothing for the naughtiness in his eyes to fade away. He stared up at his grandma with a mischievous gaze but he looked up at her expectantly as well."Say...you want to push the dish in the oven? You want to help me?" The old lady asked and he grinned widely
"Still that does not give you the right to do evil." She said looking right into his eyes. She didn't know what Tobias' plan was. In the end, they were still standing in the same place as per plan. The only thing out of the plan was a beaten-up Elijah. What was his true motive? "Now you're gonna tell me what's right and what's wrong?" He asked, she didn't utter a word and lowered her gaze. Trying to figure out his motive. "What...what is your true motive?" She asked and looked up at him again. He snorted and raised his brows at her."My true motive is the empire. I need the empire as I'm the true heir of it." He said, his words made sense but as Igneel said long ago, giving him the empire will be like killing thousands of innocent people."And so is Igneel." She said and he tilted his head at her. "Huh? Are you comparing me with that filth?" He asked and she sarcastically chuckled. "The one you're referring to as filth was the one who truly endured everything for the throne. If you
She stared at Elijah with wide eyes.This means Tobias was aware of Elijah's true identity. He slowly raised his face, a purple mark beside his right cheek and another purple mark on his left cheekbone. His lip was busted and his left eye was bloodied red and swollen."Elijah?" She whispered under her whiff and stared at him shocked. He glanced at her before lowering his gaze again. "Ahh...you see, my dear comrade, was your lover's puppet," Damon said and put his hands on her shoulders from behind. She abruptly turned around and pushed him away, passing him a furious glare."And you? You were his dog all this time." She said pointing towards Tobias, her voice was so loud it reverberated in the whole empty building. "Who is that woman in the hospital? Is she your mom or is it an act too?" She asked, lowering her hand. Her eyes turned red as she passed him a furious glare."She is my mother." He said while shrugging. There was no gentleness in him, his calm and gentle face now looked
Leah kept silent, not knowing how to comfort him.Tobias' hate towards Igneel was indeed rooted because of their father.He was a greedy man and his greed was the fall of his empire.She said nothing and grabbed his cold hands in her warm ones, as she raised her right hand and slightly caressed his left cheek.He sadly chuckled and turned his gaze to look at her. "And in all this chaos, you also severely suffered." He said and kissed her palm which was caressing his left cheek. "Forgive me." He apologized and she quickly shook her head."It's not your fault." She said and gently smiled at him. All of a sudden he moved away from her, making her smile drop and her hand freeze in the air. She was shocked but the next instant she was happy when he lay down on the couch and rested his head on her lap. She raised her hands and caressed his face with her fingertips."Say...what did you do all these years? Did you continue your studies?" He asked and she sighed. "No, I didn't continue my stu
"It's been a while." Damon stood in front of her with a gentle smile on his face.Seeing him, Leah did not panic and instead passed him a smile too."Yes, how are you? How is Aunt doing?" Leah asked and he chuckled. "Will you not let me in?" He asked and she quickly got away from him to enter. Her eyes flickered downstairs on the guards. He stepped inside and walked in without taking his shoes off.Leah watched him go inside the living room with a constant smile on her face.She silently followed him behind in the living room. "Would you like to have a drink?" She asked politely and he shook his head. "I'm not here to drink, please sit down." He said and she nodded before sitting down beside him. Two arms distance between them."That scary-looking man down there. Who are those men?" He asked and Leah chuckled. "Those people work under me...my lover. Ever since the fire incident, he has been extraordinary and worried about me. So he hired them for me." She said and he slightly frowne
Pulling the bed sheet near her chest, the sounds of birds chirping outside awakened Leah from her slumber. She slowly opened her heavy eyelids and stared at the wall in front of her in a daze. Once again she was lied to.That man didn't stop with just one round he doesn't know when to stop. She didn't know one had such a high level of horniness in them. Her neck was filled with bites and love marks and they were slightly stinging. She closed her eyes and recollected last night's scenes. Her scalp was like a hot pot by the time she started to go back in time. "En...Leah...Ahh...Fuck."He groaned and cussed near her ear as his hands were holding her thighs up, spreading them and taking her, ravishing her to the point she was trembling from head to toe. She gripped the bed sheet beneath her and stared at him with her half-open eyelids. Tears streamed down her eyes and disappeared in her hairline, slightly wetting the pillow beneath her.They were trying their best not to make any soun
"I'm going to bed," Yuri said and Leah nodded. "Sweet dreams," Leah said and Yuri walked towards her room. "Sweet dreams," Yuri said, her voice slightly loud as it faintly echoed in the first portion and a lot louder in the second portion. Since she had to go to university she went to bed a lot earlier than Leah. Leah kept sitting on the couch in the living room. She was busy watching a movie when she heard someone knocking on the door of the second portion. It was pretty cold outside so she gave the first portion to Igneel's men so they can spend the night inside rather than standing outside in cold. She even made tea for them and called one of them upstairs so he can take the tea downstairs for others. He was pretty happy even though all she did was make tea for them.She frowned and stood up from the couch. Her toes were freezing as she wore her slippers. She looked at the time and it was 12: 17 AM. Thinking it was one of his men she didn't ponder much and walked up to the door. S
"I already told you, we won't be staying here, which part did you not understand?" Leah asked Yuri while sitting on the chair beside her. They were currently in the kitchen having breakfast."Did Igneel agree on it?" Yuri asked while chewing on her sandwich. "Why? You want his permission?" Leah asked and Yuri passed her a pissed look. "Why do you have to take it that way? I'm just asking." Yuri said and threw her sandwich on the plate in front of her. With a pissed expression, she looked at Georgia sitting in front of them. She had a gentle smile on her face as usual as she eyed the two sisters. "He said it will take at least five to six days for the house to get reconstructed. It's been a week now. We are leaving today. I already asked him and he has no reason to hold me back." Leah said as she gulped down the last bite of her sandwich. "But...Tobias is still out there." Yuri said and Leah sighed."I know. Igneel's men will guard us and by the way, do you want to get kicked out of y
