"Please forgive me, Mr Valenti. Just this once. I promise not to do it again." She begged frantically."Get. Out." He boomed while glaring at her ferociously.If looks could kill, Sophia would have been six feet under. That was the way Leo was glaring at her, like he wanted to tear her to pieces. Megan could see his jaw clenching and she knew that Leo was using his all to restrain himself. Sophia grew still, it was then she realized that she had fucked up and Leonardo won't forgive her. She turned around to leave but paused at the door and turned in Megan's direction."You will regret this. I promise you." Sophia said and immediately left them.Leo brought out his phone and dialed a number, the person picked up almost immediately. "Make sure you see Sophia Turner out from this house, if there is resistance from her, toss her out." He commanded with lethal intent then cut the call.Megan looked at Leo and he was very furious. She finally got herself back and walked up to him, she touc
"A break? Why? And when?" Julie asked."Soon." She answered. "It's not now though, so you can take your time." She added."That is so unlike you. You barely take breaks. Do you want to travel again?" Julie noted."Hmm. Maybe, it's a secret." She shrugged nonchalantly."Do you want to retire or start another business?" Her face was filled with confusion. "But you love interior designing." She continued."I still do but I can only tell you that I am not quitting or retiring. What am I? An old woman?" She joked."So what is the real reason? I know you won't just tell me to hire another worker just like that." His eyes suddenly widened. "Do you want to expand your business? Is that why you need more workers? I thought about it too and the workload is getting much because more deals keep coming in, I was worried that the work would be too much for our workforce to carry it all. Ever the thoughtful CEO, aren't you?" She squealed then hit her lap playfully."Oww!" Megan exclaimed and rubbed
"So what does the result say and when would my surgery be scheduled?" Megan asked. She was currently in the hospital, in the office of her doctor. She was trying to know how this sickness worked and how it could be treated as quickly as possible. She had just taken a test and was waiting for the doctor to tell her the result."Hmm. Your results seem better now that you have started to take your medications but that does not mean you are very safe as tragedy could occur at any time." Her doctor said then continued. "As for your surgery, I still have to monitor you closely to know when the surgery would be needed. I cannot just make rash decisions and would have to monitor you. If anything should occur, I will schedule the surgery as soon as possible."His words sounded assuring and at the same time, they troubled her."So what you are trying to say is that I still have to be monitored closely before I can have surgery? Why can't I not do it now? I am ready to do it now." She said.The
It did not take up to five minutes before she saw Leo striding out from the elevator and towards her, he was with his personal assistant. She smirked in satisfaction and when he reached her, Megan wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him on his lips, he immediately wrapped his hand around her waist. She pulled back from him and pouted."I missed you, darling." She told him. The receptionist stood up from her chair and her face was filled with fear."I did not expect you to come to my company. You could have told me so I will come and pick you up then you won't have to stress yourself." His dark eyes were on her and he rubbed her hair tenderly with one hand."It is no worry. I thought you were in a meeting. Did I disturb you?" She searched his eyes."No Cara, you did not disturb me. Didn't I tell you that I would do anything for you?" He reminded in a sensual voice."You did." She caressed his cheek gazing up at him. So he meant every word he said to her that day. How did she g
The door to the office opened and Leo stepped inside. "I am done with the meeting. So where were we?""Impatient much?""Yeah. So what did you come and see me for? Is something wrong?""Why do you always assume something is wrong, Leo.""I am sorry if I offended you. I was only concerned for your well-being.""I forgive you." Megan took a deep breath. She had only thought about this in the car, right before she entered his building. "What is it?" He asked impatiently."I want to learn swimming and I want you to teach me. Yourself."He drew back in surprise. "You want to learn swimming? And you want me to teach you?""That is exactly what I said, Leo. Don't make me repeat myself." She barked angrily.Leo cupped her cheeks not minding that she shouted at him. "I am proud of you, Cara. You are finally ready to face your fears."Megan rolled her eyes. "I know and that is why I want to do it with you.""Would you still like to come to my villa in Italy? It is in Lake Como." "Lake Como?"
Their SUV drew to a halt in front of the white sprawling large villa. It was so big and beautiful. It was located privately away from other houses in the area. The journey to this place was very smooth and nice, the view was breathtaking and satisfying to watch.The driver got down and opened Leo's door, Leo got down then helped her out of the car. She gaped at the villa but was interrupted when someone approached them the moment they stepped onto the villa's meticulously manicured grounds. The intruder was a woman, a middle-aged woman. She was slim, tall, and stiff-faced. She looked like a no-nonsense woman. Her hair was packed in a tight bun and her skin was brown. She was obviously a native from the way she looked."Welcome Signore Valenti and Signora Zendel to Villa Casa. My name is Antonia Morano. I am the housekeeper here and will be serving you all through your stay here. Would you like me to show you around the house?" She finished in a clipped tone but she had a professional
Coming out from the bathroom after a wonderful bath, she put on a warm robe and went to the walk-in closet to find clothes to wear. Her hair was still a bit wet. The clothes actually were not much and most of the clothes were her size while some of them were not."Did he have a girlfriend before?" She muttered to herself."What did you say?" Leo said from behind her and Megan flinched.She swiftly turned around to find Leo standing at her back, his head was tilted to the side and he was staring at her in amusement."When did you come in? I did not hear when you came in and you scared me with your little surprise." She said."I just came in and sorry for scaring you. I did not mean to. Now, you were saying something to yourself. What were you saying?" He said in his very deep voice."Who do these clothes belong to? Did you have a girlfriend before?" She asked squarely.Leo stared at her for a long time before he burst into laughter. "What is this? Is this Megan Zendel being jealous? I
"Let's start by taking a deep breath. Now, take a deep breath, Cara." Leo said."I think I need a moment." Megan gasped out staring at the blue sparkling water in her swimming suits. They were at the back of Leo's villa where his swimming pool was located. After much persuasion, she finally decided to start her swimming lessons. Leo wanted to hire a swimming coach for her but she sternly refused because she wanted him to teach her. Now today was the day that she began her lessons and she couldn't seem to enter the water. She thought she was ready but she realized too late that she was not ready at all."You have needed four moments now and I have given you all the moments you need. If I let you have more, then we won't achieve anything today." Leo said."I know, Leo. I just... Ugh. I don't know what I want. I thought I could do it but I don't know if I can do it again." She cried out.Leo moved closer to her and held her shoulders and she looked up into his dark eyes. "Trust me, Cara
