Brandon looked up at him with a glare. "What do you want from me?" He asked.Leo folded his hand across his chest. "I should be asking you that. How dare you threaten my fiancée?" He shot back.Brandon stood up from the floor. "I am only trying to take back what they stole from me. She and her father stole my investments and ruined my business. They also ruined my life and made me like this." He shouted."No one made your life like this except you. You caused all of this for yourself. If only you did not cheat, then maybe this would not have been your outcome, so you deserve everything that is happening to you. Besides, I am happy that you cheated. I was able to get Megan all to myself. I get to be with her, I get to feel what she is like. I get to taste her, that is something you would never feel." He taunted with a wicked smile. He needed to buy time and that included wasting Brandon's time so he could get what he needed.Brandon's nose flared in anger. "You bastard! She was mine fi
"That is impossible." He hollered. Leo glanced at his expensive wristwatch. "By this time right now, your little townhouse is probably on fire and all your illegal documents and evidence of fraud and slush funds have been sent to the police station and the contract that you are using to threaten me is nowhere to be found because I have eradicated it from the face of the earth." Leo looked at him. "You were stupid to put all the evidences of your crime in your house. You could have at least put it somewhere more discreet."Brandon shook his head. "You are lying. I don't believe you. Why should I believe you?"Leo shrugged lazily. "Do you need a picture proof? But if you are that desperate for proof, you should hang on a little; the police will soon be here. I thought you may want to see them and tell them some things so I called them over." His smile took on a distinctly wicked slant. "Do you think that is the only house I have? I have other houses and I have other copies of the cont
Megan's eyes fluttered open, she noticed that she was halfway lying on Leo's body. Leo was still asleep, the room was dark but the only thing that betrayed the morning was the light spilling through the curtains showing that it was morning. She took in a deep breath and snuggled deeper into his body. After a while of feeling him, she decided it was time to get up and go to work so that she won't be late.She disentangled herself from Leo whose hands tightened around her waist imprisoning her in his arms. "Where do you think you are going?" Leo asked in a very deep, sexy voice which makes her insides turn."When did you wake up? I thought you were sleeping so I did not want to disturb you." She said.Leo's dark eyes met hers. "I have been awake for a while. I just wanted to relish the moment." He said to her."Oh. I had thought you were sleeping. Anyways, I need to go to work and I need to go and take a bath and eat so I won't be late." She tried to stand up but Leo's strong hand won'
"I did not report him to the police," Megan spoke. There was silence on the other side for a while. "You were not the one who reported him to the police? Then who did?" She asked.A sense of dread filled her because she had an idea of who would do exactly that. "I think I know who did it." She whispered. "I will call you back, let me check for myself." She said in a rush then cut the call without waiting for Julie to speak.Megan immediately went online to check the news. She did not have to search for Brandon because he was already trending. The title of the headline was;'Former boyfriend of Alexa Riley and assumed ex of Billionaire Tycoon's daughter Megan Zendel is arrested by the police on charges of fraud, embezzlement and stalking.'Embezzlement? Fraud? So Brandon was doing illegal things in his business? That was unexpected but she wasn't surprised. She clicked on the news and read further down. According to the news, he was reported last night. She checked the time and it wa
Wow. This was unexpected. She did not imagine what he was about to show her were new bodyguards. She held Leo's shirt lightly. "Can I talk to you somewhere private?" She asked with a small smile. "Sure." He answered her and he took her by her hand to the garden. When they reached the garden he turned to her. "I know you have a lot to tell me, you can go on.""Why do I need a bodyguard?" She began."You may not believe me but your life may be in danger. We never know what Brandon could do unless he is in jail and we all know that he is not coming out. I don't want to risk anything. I need you to be safe so that I can have peace of mind. If you are uncomfortable with them, then after everything is settled, you can get rid of them. How about that?""That is not even the main issue right now. You never consulted me for any of this. I thought I was your fiancée, Leo. Are you not supposed to discuss everything with me?" Just last night, he did not tell her that he made the police arrest B
"Good morning." A worker greeted as Megan and Julie waited for the elevator. Megan nodded in response to the greeting. The elevator door swished open, and they stepped in together with Ruth; she pressed the floor of her office, and the elevator began to move. There was silence in the elevator as it moved; soon enough, the doors opened, and they stepped out. When they reached her office, Ruth was the first to enter. She did a quick survey of the room, and when she saw Megan and Julie looking at her in confusion, she spoke."Protocols." She informed them. "It is for your safety, I needed to know if someone was lurking somewhere here." She said.Megan's mouth twitched. There was no need to be so extra. Her office was the safest place she could be. Only authorized people can come to her office. She let out an awkward smile. "Thank you." Will she ever get used to this? Probably not."I will leave you now," Ruth told her then left the office and went to stay outside, not far from her."No
"But don't panic. I am sure Leo is not that kind of person. Why would he burn his house, it sounds ridiculous." Julie said waving a dismissive hand."I am not panicking. No matter what happens, as far as Brandon is out of my life, I will be happy. I can't deal with him forever., it's exhausting." She will trust Leo. He is her fiancée after all and he loves her as much as she loves him."You don't need to worry anymore. He is out of your hair, and he will soon go to prison. He cannot escape it, the charges against him are much. Soon you will be able to walk freely without having to look over your shoulder." She tried comforting. "Now, you should cheer up and go to work. Don't think too much about whatever that is going on. Today will pass just like every other day. We have a meeting at ten this morning so you need to prepare for it. I'm off to continue my work." Julie stood up and headed outside and towards her office.Leo stepped down from his car, handed the key to the valet, and ent
"What is on my schedule?" He asked his secretary as he was walking to his office. After that conversation with Marvin, he came to work straight from his company. He needed to sort out a lot of things and do some work so that he would have enough time for the honeymoon. He obviously did not want to be working when he was on his honeymoon with Megan. "You have some important meetings to attend and you might have a business trip in the next week. It is not yet decided because the people you are having the metro with have not yet set a date. Their CEO, whom you were meant to meet, had an accident a few days ago so that affected the date on which you are meant to see him. I can pressure them if you want." His secretary suggested.They both entered his office, and Leo went to sit on his chair. "Don't. Don't pressure them. Send flowers if possible and some gifts for his health."His secretary's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly adjusted his expression. "Ok. I will check out what to s
