"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
"You are sure hard to meet. I would have mistaken you for a president." Ella Woods snarled, her eyes were glaring at him."You are not meant to be here. You should leave." A female worker in a suit told Ella, but her eyes were on him, not minding the woman. The woman turned to him. "Sir, I tried not to let her in, but she wouldn't budge." She told him with a scared and guilty look. She was probably thinking that he would fire her or shout at her because she did not make Ella Woods leave. "All of you, leave. Now." He ordered in a deep voice. His secretary and the worker woman looked at each other with unsure eyes; reluctantly, they left his office. "Still strong headed aren't you?" His voice was sardonic. "To what do I owe this unwanted visit?" He asked.Ella walked to where he was sitting and sat on the chair opposite his table. She made herself comfortable. "You blacklisted me?" She began."Why do you care? It's my company therefore I can do whatever the fuck I like." He shot back
Leonardo stared at the door that Ella Woods just passed through. He could not believe the guts of the woman. How dare she try and threaten him when she knows fully well that he is way more powerful than she and her family. He could literally destroy her with the snap of his fingers.He went back to his work, but he could not concentrate at all; his mind was in different places. Right now, he felt like being with Megan. He just wanted to feel her right now, to hold her and not let go. Megan was like his drug but he knew that he could not disturb her right now. She had told him in the morning that she needed to do something important. He was craving her so badly that it hurt.He stood up from his chair in anger and went to his small wine cellar in his office where he keeps his emergency drinks just in case he has an important visitor or client over. He opened it and brought out a bottle of whiskey. He brought out a glass cup and poured a reasonable amount into the cup. He took the cup,
Leo checked the time in his sports car and it was a few minutes after eight in the evening. He kept dialling her number but it was still switched off. He suddenly remembered that she had bodyguards whom he could call instead. His head was swarming right now so he could not think straight. All his thoughts were scattered because of how worried he was. He decided to call her bodyguards instead, he searched for Antonio's number and called it. It rang. He breathed a sigh of relief, thank God it was ringing. Antonio picked it up, and he quickly spoke before Antonio could utter a word."Is Megan home? Are you with her?" He questioned impatiently.There was silence on the other side of the phone before Antonio replied to him, and his next words made his heart sink in despair. Devastation overwhelmed him. He did not know what took over him next because it was like his body suddenly entered autopilot and he just began to drive to the location that Antonio gave him.TWO HOURS AGO.After that co
Antonio drove into the exclusive Rosas Village where Leo's mansion was located. It was a secluded and luxurious area where rich people and famous celebrities lived, also known as a 'billionaire bunker.' The car drew near to his house, and she noticed a truck parked near Leo's house; she frowned slightly; she had never seen a truck inside the village before. Have they been allowed all those while? She had always thought that they were not allowed inside because of how private the area was, and from the way it looked, it seemed like a regular delivery truck, so maybe it was meant to deliver goods, but she wondered why it was parked near Leo's house. She did not remember Leo wanting to order something.The car drew closer to the electronic iron wrought gates. Antonio was about to open the gates with the remote when she heard a loud boom sound. She flinched and covered her ears because of how loud the sound was. The sound that reverberated through the night was not just any loud sound, it
Antonio used his finger to check for Miss Zendel's pulse and it was very weak. The loud sound of a siren, which broke the quietness of the night, indicated that the police and ambulance had arrived. He left Ruth, who was holding an unconscious Miss Zendel in her arms.Leonardo did not tell him that his fiancée was sick, and from the looks of it and the way her pulse was very weak, it was not just a normal panic attack; it looked like a heart attack. Or was it that he did not know that his fiancée was sick? The ambulance stopped close to them and the back doors opened. Two men stepped out of the ambulance with a stretcher. He saw that they were about to head to his boss's fiancée ex-boyfriend, who was bleeding from the wound he and his partner, Ruth, inflicted on him; he quickly called out to them."Over here!" He shouted and they both turned to look at him. He pointed towards an unconscious Miss Zendel. "She is the reason why I called you over. It seems like she was having something l
Leonardo scoffed. This has to be a sick joke. Were there cameras set to get his reaction, maybe from a show, or Megan was playing pranks on him? He glanced around and realized that he was just thinking too much. This was no joke, it was a fact. "She has heart disease? Are you sure? That cannot be possible." He shook his head in wonder and disbelief. "I don't believe it. She never told me anything like that. I know my Megan, she is not sick and she is very healthy. We have been living together but there was no discussion about that." He said.The doctor had a concerned look on her face and something that seemed like pity. Why was she pitying him, Megan is not sick. No way in hell Megan was sick and she did not tell him. Does her father also know? He never mentioned anything like that to him. He had already called her father before he arrived so that he would wait for him to arrive before he asked questions. Maybe her father would have an idea of what the doctors were saying."Your fian
"Are you Megan Zendel's father?" The doctor, Charles Hall asked."Yes. I am." He answered."Then I suggest that you come inside. We have some things to discuss about."Peter walked further into the room with his walking stick and shut the door to the office. He came up to him. "What is going on with my daughter? What happened to her?" He asked Leo.Leo swallowed; if her father was not aware, then how could he possibly break the news to him? The doctor glanced between him and Megan's father, he looked a bit confused before he adjusted his expression and took a deep breath."Please why don't you take a seat so I can explain this better to you." He told him. Megan's father finally looked at him."And you are?" He asked him."I am Miss Zendel's doctor. I have been treating her for a while now. As I said, this discussion is not supposed to be discussed while standing." He repeated patiently once again.Peter sat down on the chair beside Leo and Leo also took his seat. "What is going on?"
