Leonard got a call from Bella, and she requested to see him urgently. he agreed after she wouldn't stop calling him, he knew what the conversation would be about but he had to expect to have her bimbo friend approaching him in his restaurant.
"You!" Leonard didn't know what Bella was up to but he wasn't pleased. she was going home once he was done with her.
he signaled his guards who were lurking around to be at ease as Emily approached him but Emily didn't take note. Emily didn't want to do this but she kept reminding herself that it was for Bella and her happiness.
"Good day, may I sit down?" there was something about the way he looked at her, she didn't like it, she feared it.
"Sit."
"I am here on behalf of Bella,"
Emily said going straight to the point as she took her seat opposite Leonard.
"About what?"
"Being her cousin you should understand how she can be."
Cousin! Well, he guessed Bella was doing a good job keeping his identity a secret.
"How can she be?"
"She is a free spirit and..."
"Miss..." Leonard stared into her broom eyes and Emily caught sight of his hazel eyes, she had not taken note of it earlier when she had met him, but she was mesmerized by it.
"Miss..." Leonard repeated.
"Bella, I mean Emily, just Emily is fine." Emily stuttered.
"Emily, what exactly do you want from me?"
"Please don't let Bella go home."
"As a friend, ain't you supposed to wish for her to go home, you don't seem like a friend, if that is your request."
"I just feel...."
"You feel what?" Leonard interrupted. "That she should continue to sell drugs and tarnish the name of her family."
Drugs!
Was Bella doing drugs again?
Bella had told her about her experience with drugs and how she was addicted to it but Emily hadn't noticed anything like drugs of late.
Well she was too busy with work she barely had time alone with Bella, and during her off days, they spent it together.
Emily's father was a drug addict and an alcoholic, she knew how people like that were, her father was always aggressive and when he was high he would beat her mother and sometimes them up.
Even thou her mother tried to live like everything was fine, things weren't really fine with them.
Emily didn't realize she wasn't paying attention to anything Leonard was saying and he also took note of it.
"Excuse me," Emily stood up and staggered back.
"Seat down," Leonard ordered and Emily obliged and sat down immediately.
"Here." Leonard pushed the glass of water on the table close to her, Emily took the glass and drank all the water.
"When will they be coming to pick her up?"
"You came here to convince me so why are you suddenly agreeing with me."
"If she is truly using these drugs then she will need help, I will take my leave now," Emily said and walked out of the restaurant.
Leonard stared at her wondering what was up with her, did he say something that got to her?
* * * * * *
Emily took a cab straight to Bella’s apartment from the restaurant, she needed to have a serious conversation with Bella regarding her selling drugs and if she was using them, when she got to the apartment she noticed the door was locked from the inside.
She wanted to knock but before she could the door opened and Matthew stared at her.
“Emily,” Matthew said staring at her. “I was waiting for you.”
“Where is Bella?” Emily asked looking over his shoulder, she could see Bella looking outside the window and on a phone call, and she seemed pissed off. Emily looked back at Matthew.
“Is she alright?”
“Yes, she is on the phone with her mother. Can we talk outside briefly, please?”
Her mother! Did Leonard call her mother to inform her? Emily was mad at Bella but she was also worried that her parents might not be pleased to hear what she had been up to.
“Okay,” Emily nodded as Matthew and she walked out of the apartment.
“Is everything okay?” Emily asked as they stepped outside.
“You set me up with Bella,” Matthew said.
“I didn’t mean to offend you but Bella expressed how she felt and I thought it was only right that you both discuss about it.”
“I feel really offended Emily, I don’t feel anything for Bella. I love you.”
“Love?” Emily was taken aback by his words and his declaration of love for her, was that how love worked?
“I love you,” Matthew repeated and grabbed Emily by the arm pulling her in for a kiss.
“What are you doing?” Emily asked pushing him off but Matthew felt irritated by it. Was she rejecting him? No one rejected him. He grabbed her again and forcefully tried to kiss her.
“Let go of her.” Emily heard when Matthew had pinned her to the wall. Emily and Matthew turned around to stare at where the voice came from.
“Leonard,” Emily called out she remembered his name when Mark had spoken to him but what was he doing here?
“SCRAM!” Matthew yelled at Leonard still not letting go of Emily. Leonard stared at him with both hands in his pocket, after his discussion with Emily he had trailed her just to know what she was up to. She seemed out of place during their discussion and he wondered if it had anything to do with Bella.
“Jack,” Leonard called out as the man in black beside him whom Emily and Matthew didn’t notice walked up to Matthew, pulled him by the hair, and pushed him off.
“Let me go,” Matthew shouted trying to push off Jack but he wasn’t strong enough.
“Thank you,” Emily appreciated although she had plans to kick Matthew in the balls she was grateful that Leonard was here, just in case her plans backfired. She watched Jack pull Matthew into their car.
“Go inside,” Leonard commanded he didn’t want her to see Matthew by the time he came out of the car. Emily nodded at him understanding the situation and went inside.

Emily nodded at him understanding the situation and went inside.As Emily stepped into the corridor, she saw Bella coming out of her room."Where is Matthew?""We need to talk." Emily said walking pass her into the room as Bella followed behind closing the door behind her. Emily walked up to the window first to see if Leonard was still there but when she looked they were gone. She figured Bella didn't see them take Matthew away."How did it go? Were you able to convince him?" Bella asked."Convince him to allow you to continue to sell drugs?" Emily said looking at her with folded arms as Bella eyes widened at her words."When were you planning on telling me that you were now selling drugs?""I was going to tell you but I didn't know how you would take it, now please don't scold me.""You will go back to your parent house.""What?""I didn't convince him, I was shocked when I found out you are back to using drugs.""I am not using," Bella yelled.

"I will pay you Sir....i...will...I promise...please I need....I need time...I beg." the man stuttered without control."When?" Leonard asked even thou he knew it wasn't going to be possible. He always had his client's daily activities reported to him and this man sitting before him was one of the most foolish of all of them.He gambled the money he had or spent it on women. Leonard didn't understand how someone could borrow money to do such useless things. He knew the man had a family, a wife and two daughters but Leonard never bothered with the details."Soon," the man struggled to speak as sweat formed on his forehead."Mr. Riverstone, we both know that is not possible.""I...I..." The man struggled to think straight, he was in so much pain from the way the men had rough-handled him. He wasn't sure he would make it if they shot him."You can have one of my daughters until I can pay you back." the man finally concluded."Why will I want to agree to something as stupid as....""My da

When they got to Bella's house or as the estate would call it the Klar's house, Emily's neck kept turning back and forth in amazement.This wasn't a house, it was a mansion, they drove past different sections. A garden, a table tennis center, a swimming pool section, and some more arches of land before they arrived at the house.Emily had never seen anything like this before, it was like they were in another town entirely. She was tempted to ask Bella if her father owned all this but she knew the answer to that. Bella's parents were known to be wealthy but how wealthy was the question Emily had never thought about.She remembered going to some of Bella's friends birthday party but she had never seen anything like this. Her friend's house was big, well-equipped, and furnished with the latest gadgets, equipment, and materials but nothing like this.Was this why Bella felt imprisoned in this house?Who wouldn't feel imprisoned in a place like this?

She watched him dive into the water and swim to the end swiftly and then back as he stepped out slowly.The maid close by rushed to him and handed his towel to him, as he wiped his face. When he placed the towel on his body, he looked up and caught Emily's eye."That's my cousin, Cam," Bella said stepping into the balcony as the driver left to tell the maid to come and arrange the clothes in place.Bella waved at him as he nods his head in response to her but his eyes do not leave Emily, he cleaned off his body still staring at her then walked out of the swimming section as the maid followed ehind him."Does he stay here?" Emily asked staring in the direction he had just gone through."Sometimes," Bella replied. Emily walked back inside the room, she lay on the bed as her phone vibrated in her pocket.It was her sister.She sat up and picked up the call, it was unusual for her sister to call her they mostly chat."Where the hell are you? Mum just called me that Dad is in the hospital.

The doctor didn't know why but he decided to come up with this lie but it wasn't a lie, the hospital sometimes had random donations not the way the unknown person had done but some people did call in to donate money to help people who couldn't pay for their bills."Is everything okay?" Rose asked as her daughter walked back to her with a confused look."It's nothing, let's go home. I will go to work then come and meet you.""Work?" Rose had forgotten that her daughter had to work, she should have told Emily to go home to rest instead of allowing Chloe to leave but yesterday she had been overwhelmed by the situation she wasn't thinking straight.Talking about Chloe she wondered where she went to that she hadn't called to check up on them since morning."Can't you take a break, I can talk to your boss.""No, it's okay.

When Emily finally opened her eyes she felt her vision failing her, her head hurt so bad and she didn't know why.She rose to her feet slowly but felt her body getting heavier than usual as she slumped back to the ground and slammed her head on the floor.She winced in pain from her head hitting the floor but she didn't notice she already got a small cut at the side that was already bleeding.She looked around again this time slowly, it seemed every time her eyes scanned the room she would feel like her brain would explode but nothing was coming to her mind.She rose to her feet again, this time slowly as she walked into the bathroom calculating each step, at intervals, she leaned on the wall for support so she wouldn't fall.She stepped into the tub slowly still in her clothes that reeked of something that she couldn't figure out, some chemical.

Leonard barely spared Chloe a glance as he dialed his driver's phone, "Book that restaurant I mentioned earlier," Leonard ordered disconnecting the call. "Where are you? I was so worried about you," Rose asked her daughter, "Tell me you are alright.""I am fine mum, I am alright, I was about to call you," Emily replied not wanting to worry her mother, she was still finding it hard to remember what had happened to her. "Should I come over? Maybe we could -""No, I am fine, mum. Chloe is here," Emily replied. "Alright, thank goodness you are fine," Rose said. "I will call you later Mum," she said."Alright dear," her mother replied before disconnecting the call.When she was done with the call Leonard informed her to get ready for dinner and Chloe asked to tag along, Emily had thought Leonard would oppose it but he surprised her by telling them to get dressed.She didn't know why she had even made that offer of a dinner date when she still had bills to sort out, she wished she could

Bella couldn't remember the last time Leonard smiled even when he did she didn't know if it was genuine or fake."Emily?" Cam muttered. Bella didn't bother to ask how he knew, she figured he had asked the driver, or maid or maybe her mother had mentioned it to him.She removed the nose mask from her nose and the hoodie from her hair as she took a seat beside Cam."I will take you to her tomorrow," Cam stated as he instantly got a hug from Bella that didn't surprise him at all, he smiled and patted her back slowly.* * * After they were done eating at the restaurant, Chloe once again walked faster so she could get to the back seat next to Leonard but this time the driver motioned her to the front seat."It's okay," She had smiled at him as she tried to open the back seat door."Miss Emily would..."She sat at the back regardless, she watched Leonard and Emily meet up as they took their seat.

Bella walked down the stairs to the dining as she noticed the dining was set with all sorts of delicacies Matilda and Cam were sited waiting for her to take a seat. Cam stood up when she was close by and helped her with her seat."Thank you," she appreciated him sitting down. She didn't know why but of late she was becoming selective about what she ate and the cooks just had to make different dishes and hope she at least picked one.It was so bad that the last time she told Matilda to make her rice and when the rice was eventually brought to her she refused to eat it.Sometimes she would cry for no reason at all, it was comforting to her that Cam was now with her and keeping a close eye on her and when he wasn't Matilda was there.

He had driven here immediately after he got the paper work.Leonard stared at the paperwork they had mailed to the company, and it was well-detailed. Whoever wrote it took their time in such a way that every offer that looked unprofitable had a comeback to back it up.Dark Age and Klar had been in the fashion industry for so long that, at some point, Klar had offered to buy Dark Age. Buying companies wasn't a new thing for Leonard, especially companies he felt were going to ruin his business or become a competition for him in the future.All he had to do was find out how much their company would cost and double the price. This way, the price was too good for anyone in their right minds to refuse it, but this company, Dark Age, had refused his offer without a reason, and even when he tripled it, they still rejected it, which only angered him.He had imm

She rolled her eyes and tried to dial Stone's number again, and this time it went through, but she couldn't hear him properly; all she could hear were faint sounds of gunshots. Where was he?
