LEONA

The door burst open and my heart sank.

This was not what I expected. He was looking so terrible. The suit he wore earlier was torn badly, his eyes were redder than Lando's, and the white shirt he wore looked as if it was dipped in blood. There were splits and cuts on his face and any other place which was not in my view. His knuckles were busted and blood was oozing from his split up lips.

My heart bled, burned, and went out to him. How did this happen?

"Dave," I whispered and though he didn't hear me, his eyes moved to me but he quickly looked away after scanning my body for any scratch I guess.

Slowly I made to get up from the bed but before I could make any real movements, I got elbowed directly in the gut.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" He snarled and I fell back to the bed, clutching my stomach as great pain cut through my abdomen.

I saw Dave rush to me but a gun was pulled against his forehead by Lando.

"This is not the time, Dave. Now move back or I shoot!"

    ★DAVE★I was torn between who to follow as Leo was being pulled away and the ambulance was about to take off. I have to be with one of them one way or the other but who?On the other hand is my pregnant Leona who was being arrested and her brother who was badly injured and needed urgent medical attention. Where should I be?As I was busy thinking about what to do, I saw Leona going down and the police were just watching.I rushed to her before she could make it to the ground."Leo," I called but she didn't wake up."Get the damn cuff from her hand!" I screamed , grabbing a bunch of keys hanging on the officer's belt hole. I found the key, unlocked it and quickly removed it.The ambulance was already gone so I took her to the police van and they followed the ambulance.She was wet from below and when I removed my hand, it was stained with blood.I stared at her for any injury but I saw only bruises on her face, arms, neck and that was all.She was wet in between he

    ★DAVE★ "Where are you taking me?" She asked when I entered the hospital with her.I'm clueless as to how to break this news to her and I don't want to imagine her reaction.I managed to retain the body from being transferred to the morgue so that she could see Raymond for the last time.I held her hand tight, then squeezed it when we got to the door."Why are we here Dave? Is Raymond inside?" She pushed the door open and entered in with me.When her eyes met the covered body on the bed, she tensed and stood transfixed to the same spot without blinking. The expression on her face was unreadable therefore I couldn't make out what she might be thinking but her action was loud.I remained silent behind her for some minutes before her legs started functioning and she walked towards the bed."Who's this Dave? And why's the person covered?" She looked at me and I saw her gulp nervously."Raymond," I whispered."Raymond? Then why did you cover him? He's going to suffo

    ★LEONA★ "I'm sorry Leona but Raymond is gone. He is DEAD!" Dave screamed.Those words were the heaviest blow I ever received in my entire life. So many minutes, I forgot to breathe and my brain went blank, and couldn't comprehend his words. I cried bitterly from my bleeding heart to a point where no tears came and I couldn't breathe again. Dave couldn't comfort me either.I mean how can Raymond die? He's my brother. Why should he die? Why must my only brother die? I don't understand any of this.He was my only support, the only shoulder I could lean on freely and pour out all my troubles.He was everything to me and the best thing I ever had. I didn't imagine for a moment that I was going to lose him one day. How did all this happen?Losing my baby was the last straw. I felt as if I was cursed, an outcast. I felt like a stroke of bad luck.I couldn't cry anymore and no matter how hard I tried to squeeze out some tears they never came and instead, I just stare

    DAVE"So your name is now Damon!" I chuckled and puffed thick smoke into the night air.I was searched to Lando’s satisfaction before he dismissed the boys."I wasn't lying. My name is actually Damon." He answered in a calm tone for the first time since we met."Okay?" I didn't actually come to chitchat."So you came for me to withdraw my case and not press charges?""You're smart." I nodded."Let's sit." He walked to the summer hut and took a seat. I took the next seat opposite him.I dropped the cigar in the ashtray and he passed me another but I refused it. It wasn't my thing. And as a matter of fact, I'm fed up with it already.He poured me a whiskey and I just raised my eyebrows at him. I didn't come to dine with him. Not Lando of all people and not after all that happened."I won't drink!" I told him and pushed the glass back. Maybe I can hit his head with it instead."Are you busy drafting murder plans?" He asked, chuckling."I need her out of there ASAP.

    DAVEWhen I left Lando I drove straight to the police station to pick Leona up. If indeed she's freed then I will be so happy and grateful but am not a fool. Lando will never do this if it won't be beneficial to him. The moment I stepped out of my car, the cameras flashed in my face as the police walked closer."You're under arrest Mr. Anosova." An officer whom I did not know said and they began to put a cuff around my wrist but I stepped back."What for?""You made a confession that you killed Mr. Grande."What! I thought Max refused to accept it."Is Miss Grande released?" I asked instead."Yes, she was released a moment ago."Thank goodness. I didn't mind when they put the cuffs around my wrist."I would like to see the inspector in chief," I said and walked into the police station to his office.I'm glad they didn't try to force me into a cell. Perks of being rich."What is all this Max! I thought you said you won't record anything?" I boomed."I didn't do a

    DAVEThe one who was getting the cuffs around my wrists stepped back and I rubbed my wrist once again.I can't believe this. Pablo is here and he brought someone so powerful. What did I do to deserve this generosity from him? "Chief constable, may I know why you came here personally to ensure that Mr. Anosova is arrested?""Uhm...Sir...Max..""Talk to my hearing constable!" He yelled and stepped closer to him."Yes sir, what I meant was that Max was delaying so I came to ensure that the right thing was done. Yes. That was it." He answered nervously while the commissioner threw him a hard glare."Was that the reason!""Yes sir!" "I will ask for the last time chief constable, was that your reason or there's another?!" He asked sternly."Well..yes sir." The constable looked away and his gaze fell to the floor."Show them the footage chief inspector."What?Max picked the remote and switched a similar digital screen on which showed the constable disguised as one of the

    ★Mary★"Where's my son?" Kim asked immediately as I entered."Didn't you see on the news that he got released?." Charles snorted and Kim glared at him.rolled my eyes silently. I didn't expect to see them at home considering the way they reacted to the News of their son's arrest."But he's not here, Charles." She grumbled and went to sit beside him."He's not a baby and remember Leona is still missing.""Yeah...I didn't know that woman had a lot of shit going on in her life. How had she been coping and dealing with that monster all by herself? But Dave, why must he also get involved with them?To think that he seemed in love." She huffed and rested her head on Charles's shoulders."It's not a bad thing. How they manage to get over this is what matters. I just pray their life is preserved. No more tragedies." Charles sympathized with her."I can't believe that cute boy died just like that. He was so charming and innocent.." she began to cry and I saw Leona's dad descending the stairs.H

    LEONAI shifted further away from the stranger to the door and if it was possible, I would've vanished into it just to be away from him.He moved his eyes from me and focused on his phone.He smiled and zoomed something, or maybe a photo. He doesn't look fearful, only that he looks powerful and wealthy.He looks familiar. If only he'd look up from his phone again then I can add the dots to know who he is.As if he noticed that I had my curious eyes on him, his head snapped to me and I quickly averted my gaze to the window.Shit. I thought I wanted to make him out if he looks my way? Well, he's that intimidating."Are you Leona?" His deep voice was rich and low with an accent which I know is not American. It sounds familiar too but I can't place where I've heard it from.But. How did he know my name?"Why would you bring someone you don't know into your car?" I asked instead, still not looking at him but I can feel that his eyes are still on me."You have long hai

  • Her Ultimate Destroyer   Final Epilogue

    TEN MONTHS LATER... LEONAWe just arrived home and I am awed to see the entire family in the decorated living room upstanding in anticipation of our arrival.I was carrying my new baby boy in my arms while Dave carried the girl. Yes, I delivered a boy and a girl twin and it's been a month but we're now returning from the by-force vacation Dave took me a month before my delivery. Everyone couldn't wait to see us and here we are now. Petals of different colors showered on us as we walked into the living room."Aww. They're so adorable and the girl is so cute." Kim squealed and took my baby boy from me.I sat down and everyone took turns to congratulate us, me especially. My mind went back to the day I told Dave that I was pregnant in his office. It's been ten months but I can't forget that astonishing look and his priceless smile when I told him the news. I keep replaying it and anytime I do, I find myself smiling. I've never seen him that happy before...it was so ama

    🔥FINALE 🔥Leona Grande-AnosovaIt's been a month and right now Dave and I are sitting facing each other in a coffee shop somewhere in Seattle. From Greece, we relocated to one of Dave's mansions here in Seattle. The city is nice and full of coffee shops with really great coffees. Raymond has recovered and I won't say entirely but it's better than before and he's currently at home with Leonard. Leonard will be two years old next month and I can't wait to celebrate his second birthday.On my dad's insistence to work, Dave employed him in his company and my siblings have also returned to their preferred schools. I will remember to pay Dave back every dime he's spending on my family and me. It's a lot and I can't thank him enough.He also allowed me to get on birth control pills after I explained that I will be furthering my education.He made a joke out of it with a cocky remark that he doesn't need any more competition and that, child or no child, he wants me all to himself. He doe

    LEONA"Really?" He came even closer, leaned into me and and bit my neck.I looked up at him and caught him staring at my chest with so much hunger and lust but above all, love.With Leonard in my arms, it made my towel pull down, revealing a greater part of my breast leaving only the nipples hidden."Make him sleep, Leo." His voice was begging. His lips moved to kiss the top of my breast but Leonard who hasn't slept yet pushed his head back and placed his little hands on my chest, shielding it from Dave.Dave glared at him and swat Leonard's hands away. "She's my woman, young man.""Seriously Dave. How would he sleep?" I laughed. History isn't repeating, is it?First, it was me fighting Leonard and now Dave fighting him."Then tell him that. He seems to be competing with me."Leonard wasn't having it either. He placed his hand back on my chest and added his head then rolled his baby blue eyes at Dave angrily."What! Did you see that?" Dave grumbled before placing his hand

    LEONAI looked at him in absolute shock, my eyes threatening to fall out. This is incredibly unbelievable. I blink multiple times to clear my vision in case I was hallucinating but no. He stood there with his bandages still on him. He didn't look strong but he's here.My hands reached to grip Dave tight and my eyes water. With a shaky voice, I asked. "How?" He limped towards me but I stumbled back. "Are you sure you're not a ghost? I saw your dead body, Raymond. I saw how pale you got. I saw everything. How can you not die?""Don't go away from me, sis." He winced and stopped limping towards me."I'm sorry for scaring all of you. I should've said this to you upfront. You know, after my car accident, I did self-medication before coming to Dave's mansion. I knew that man would try something so I couldn't stay at the hospital though I was going through a lot of pain. I took an overdose of a strong antidepressant and it helped after he shot me. I really didn't feel st

    "I'm taking them away, Dad," Dave answered and came to his father with a bunch of papers in his hand."What do you mean? This is their home too.""It was no longer home when you brought a devil to live in it." He retorted."Stop this, Dave. He's your brother." Charles whispered but it wasn't low enough."I refuse to accept him and you'd not change my mind.!"Who are they talking about? I didn't know Dave had a brother."Here, dad. This is all your business and ownership documents. I've resigned and signed everything out of my name. Where's mum? She should come and give them to her darling son." He looked around.I didn't understand whatever that was going on. Why's Dave giving everything back? Most importantly, was I supposed to witness this?I wished my feet would drag me out but I was too curious."I have my own company to focus on anyway.”"Is this how you behave?" Kim appeared. "You get angry at your parents when we scold you a little? We raised you better.""I'm glad you're here,

    LEONAI paid the driver and stepped down. I stared at Raymond's apartment and literally wept.A lot of memories are being embedded here. I still can't believe that I lost my brother. My only brother. What kind of fate am I carrying? Why's it that I always invite trouble for people wherever I go?Dave went through a lot because of me. My family is not an exception but they survived it and my brother couldn't. Life is so unfair and especially to me.Oh, Lord. Please save my soul and remove all this pain and sorrows. It's more than I can take.I'm living but my life is not worth living without my backbone.I looked for the key where he always keeps it, put it in the keyhole then turned it gently before pushing it.The room was just as I expected. Dust and cobwebs everywhere which is clearly indicating that it's been a long time since a human lived here.I opened his room and walked slowly into it.I saw a photograph of us together on his bedside table and picked it up. I stared at it an

    LEONA“Dave.” I called once the door clicked open and he stepped in. I shuffled to my feet and adjusted my eyes to the darkness."Why are you avoiding me?”He came late and I had stayed up all night just to talk to him.He found the switch and turned the lights on."And who said I am?” I watched him hang his suit jacket."Then what? Why are you doing this? This is not you." I complained."What am I doing? We talk, don't we?" His brows furrowed as he took off his cufflinks leisurely."You know what I'm talking about. Stop being nonchalant."“Fine. I'm only giving you space because anytime I try to get close you tell me you want to leave. To leave me. I didn't want to hear that…"Dave I ...""No Leona. Please don't say anything." He cuts me off and walked out.So this is it. He thinks I will leave? Well, that was my initial plan but I aborted it long ago.I tried starting a conversation with him to try and clear his misconception but he wouldn't give me a chance.I regret s

    LEONA"Have you seen what you've caused our family? I've always known you're a bad egg. How could you? You should've looked for a decent job like every graduate or come back home. It was out of rage I acted harshly and threw you out but you could've come back. Your father got hospitalized because of you and yet you never showed up. What kind of a daughter are you Leona? And now because of your reckless ways, you lost your brother. You caused his death, Leona. I hope you know that!" Tasha scolded me once I joined them in the guest room."Are you done, woman?" Dad asked and she rolled her eyes."Must I always remind you that if you have nothing sensible to say you should keep quiet?""You won't start again Cornelius!" She warned.I knew just then that if I don't come in, they will start fighting."Dad, Tasha is right. I fucked up..""See? She started cursing. I fear you, Leona. Especially after what we went through because of you. I know you're a murderer just like that fearful man and
