Isabella stayed quiet the moment they entered into the car but undeniably comfortable."Are you okay?" Adam asked seeing how out of it she is like she's thinking about something huge. Is she not okay with the fact that he came to pick her up? "I'm okay" she said with a light smile but Adam didn't say anything afterwards. He just nodded his head and kept on driving. It wasn't up to a minute later, Isabella turned to him with a curious gaze. "Did I do something so grand that you came to pick me up instead of my Master? I'm glad you came instead of him but I'm scared, is he mad at me over something? Will he punish me?" She continue blabbing on and on and Adam couldn't help but laugh despite the situation at home. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, opened a message and handed it to her. Even while he is going through a tough time, Leo still remembers and cares deeply about her. Adam had wanted to go to Leo's room a while ago but he dared not, it didn't go well the last time he t
Isabella stared blankly at Adam like he's gotten two heads. When they are saying fearful things about Leo and it's scaring her to see him right now, he's asking her to take food to him? Since she's not his worker to fire for intruding, he'd kill her. "Please Bella, just this once. Please help me out" Adam requested and Isabella gently shook her head. "I really can't Adam, I am scared too" she complained."I have my reasons for asking you to go to boss' room instead, you are different Bella. It might sound selfish but it's because you are the only person I can think of, please just this once" Adam added.Isabella looked from Adam to everyone else in the kitchen and they were all staring at her with pleading eyes. She bit her lips and bowed her head. What is she going to do? She can't continue to turn them down with the way both Claudia and Ellie are looking at her and Adam's continuous pleas. With her hands clutched to her dress tightly, she nodded her head in defeat, preparing he
Without waiting for her to say anything, Leo grabbed her hair a little painfully. He roughly bit her neck in domination and spanked her butt cheek as hard as he could which made Isabella scream innocently. It hurts! He grabbed her hands again and pinned them to the bed before staring at her with a stern face. "Don't move your hands" Isabella could only nod her head, she didn't bargain for this, she didn't plan for a torturous sex just right after she came back from school. It's been a while he has been this roughly with her and now he wants to use all his anger on her in the name of sex? She strongly bit on lower lip to keep it from quivering. Leo's hands move down her stomach with the intention to tease her which did work till it stopped on her private part. He slowly move his fingers around her private part as his eyes darkened with each passing seconds."I told you to stop wearing panties around me" He said raising up his head to meet Isabella's gaze. "I... I just came back fr
"Are you okay?" Leo asked Isabella who frantically nodded her head. She didn't want him to see her crying or anything related to that. Leo looked down at her and noticed that she's still clutching the sheet to herself. It downed on him that he might have really hurt her in the process of trying to get himself satisfied. He gently touched her hair before removing the sheet from her body then scoop her in his arm and made his way to the bathroom. Isabella didn't say anything, she just watch as he took her in his arm. He placed her in the bathtub, took out a new sponge and turn on the shower. Leo applied his soap on the sponge before he started scrubbing her body as gently as he could. His act surprised Isabella, it's something he has never done for her. Right from the beginning, he'd have sex with her and then disappeared before she knows it but he started cuddling with her and now, he's bathing her. She couldn't help but stare at his handsome face. His weird but good attitude towa
When they got downstairs, there were a lot of workers staring at them. As they bow to them in respect, they couldn't avoid staring at their linked hands. For the second time, Isabella felt embarrassed. Embarrassed that her Master is holding her hand in public and he doesn't care about it and also that they are many eyes on them. She tried to wiggle her hand out of his but failed due to how tight he's holding it, although not to the extent of hurting her. Without sparing them a glance, Leo made his way to the kitchen where they met Adam on their way. The surprised look on his face didn't go unnoticed by Isabella, seeing the strict look on Leo's face, he shifted for him to pass and cleared his throat then, he glanced at their hands before looking Isabella in the face. Adam winked at her with a smile on his face. Happy about the fact that he wasn't wrong about letting Isabella go into Leo's room. She brought him out when everyone else has tried in vain. Isabella is changing his boss
While the three women were talking, the elevator ding and Don Luga stepped out of it. Everyone in the sitting room including some of Leo's men that were coming in and both Claudia and Ellie stood up in a bow. Breakable objects fell down from some of the maids' hand in fear of actually seeing the man in front of them. He looks scarier than Sir Leonard and tramping on him doesn't always end well. "You should be careful, stop breaking expensive things in this mansion" he turned to them and scolded with a glare while the maids nodded frantically, the horror in their eyes didn't go unnoticed.Seeing that everyone is standing up for this man she has never seen before, Isabella also stood up and bowed her head. Who is he? And why is the air around him commanding so much authority? Is he the Don Luga Carl mentioned in the kitchen a while ago? How is he related to her master? Was he the reason Leo was so angry earlier? There are lots of questions running through her mind but she didn't hav
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY: A man was seated graciously on the swivel chair, the smoke from the cigarette puffed into his mouth and came out through his nostrils. There was a noticeable exasperation on his face, his boys trembled with just how hard he's tapping his legs on the floor. "I gave you a simple job but couldn't even do it, what is so hard in meeting Leonard Woods? The drugs have been at the border for days now, what are you going to do? You all are so useless, I don't know why I am still keeping you" he screamed angrily as his hands tightened on the chair he was seated on. "We are sorry boss, we will try harder" one of them said and that seems to infuriate him the more. He threw the expensive bottle of alcohol on the table at them but fortunately, it broke right in front of them. "Try harder? You could have done that before now, Leonard Wood is not a God, he is only a Mafia king so why the hell would any of you give me flimsy excuses in the beginning? Damn this rule" he yelle
Leo stood up from the bed after scolding her. He turned back to see her fiddling with the hem of her shirt and he shook his head wondering if he had taken it too far but then, it's the truth. If words get out that she is his girlfriend, it will only endanger her life because his rivals will use her as a tool to get him. "Sleep" he commanded and entered into his closet to change into his nightie while Isabella sat there, thinking about everything. She doesn't understand what he meant by her being in danger if she tells people that she's his girlfriend but that didn't linger in her mind as much as his hurtful words. She climbed the bed, covered herself and faced the other side to avoid seeing Leo. She can't change her fate even if she wants to. As she was about dozing off, she heard footsteps approaching the bed but she didn't bother turning to see him and pretended to be sleeping, he told her to sleep anyway.Leo saw how she shifted to the edge of the bed, almost falling to the groun
Isabella came out of her room fully dressed. There was a smile on her face as she came out of the elevator. She felt like she had won a lottery after both she and Leo settled their differences. Isabella hasn't been this happy in a while, she can't even describe the exact way she feels. She oddly couldn't explain her feelings but she knows that she is excited. "The smile on your face is luxurious" Adam whispered in her ear and she grinned at him. She is way beyond excited knowing that Leo has accepted her, he offered them a new beginning and she will stay by him. That's enough for her for now. She just wants to be by his side, seeing him alone is enough for her. "Because I am happy" she replied with laughter. "You are acting suspicious sis, did Cane give you anything to drink before we came there yesterday?" Adam asked while eyeing her suspiciously. "It's nothing like that" she waved it off with laughter. "Are you going for your exam? How prepared are you?" he asked. "Well, maybe
Isabella woke up with a sore arm, she tried moving her hand but it was as if someone placed something on it and she wasn't wrong. When she opened her eyes, her mouth went wide at the sight of Leo curled up next to her with his head placed on her shoulder. She was completely unaware of when he came in but what is he doing in her room? With the way he folded himself, it was obvious that he was cold. He didn't use the spreadsheet to cover his body. Isabella slowly began removing her hand making sure that he didn't wake up as a result of that and when she successfully did that, she exhaled, stretching her arm at the same time wondering if it's how men feel when a woman sleeps on their arm for too long. It does hurt! As she was about to come down from the bed to cover him with a blanket and disappear from the room before he woke up, he held her hand to stop her from going anywhere."Stay! I haven't been able to sleep for two days. I have insomnia and strangely, I can sleep with you by m
"You two Shouldn't have Cole with me, I can handle this just fine on my own" Leo protested. "We know you can but we are already here, I also want to teach that stupid man a lesson for having the guts to hurt our sister" Carlos blurted out. Immediately he realized what he just said, his hand flew to his mouth and his eyes darted to Leo while Sean stared at him like he had gone crazy. "I mean... I hmm—" "You don't have to explain yourself to me. It's okay if she is your sister, just protect her from now on. I need you all to keep her safe so that this won't happen again" Leo chipped in with a low chuckle. He had been furious since they left the house but this made him smile. Leo is aware that the guys see Isabella as family and their younger sister since she is the youngest of them. As long as it's just that relationship, Leo doesn't mind. He loves that they are getting along with her and they love her. Within a span of three to four months, Isabella has made everyone fall in love
Leo stared at the petite girl seated in front of him with a sigh. He reached for her hand and took it into his without breaking eye contact with her after making sure that she was looking at him. "Bella" He called. Isabella instructively shook her head to avoid his burning eyes. "Stop looking down and look at me" Isabella subconsciously raised her head immediately feeling like she was still his sex slave and owned by him. Since it's something she has done before, the habit has been instilled in her. "I know I don't have any excuse to have done everything I did but I am sorry, I couldn't do anything like a fool and let you go just like that. I thought letting you go would keep you safer than you being around me" Leo tried to explain but she couldn't wrap her head around it. How would she have been safer outside his mansion which is fully protected with strong security and enough people to look after her and care for her? "But I think that was a wrong decision and I am sorry" he ap
The small open space was turned into a bloodbath with most of Cane's men taken down. Leo made sure that only one person was unconscious, he didn't let the guys shoot him and gave him a shot on his shoulder instead of a vital organ that might be a hindrance to delivering Leo's message. After thirty minutes of a bloody fight with gunshots filling the air, every one of Cane's men that was there was taken down except just that one whose arm was shot. Leo walked up to him, he grabbed the man by his collar making him stand on his feet. "I am letting you go with just a shot on your arm so that you can deliver my message to your boss. You should be thanking your God for making me spare you so listen very carefully" Leo pissed as he hit the man's cheek for a few seconds then sighed to calm his breath. "Tell Cane Smith that I am giving him the chance to dig his grave in a way that suits him if he doesn't want me to do it for him. For every pain he inflicted on Bella, I will give him at leas
Isabella looked at herself in the mirror and then at the menu in her hand. She was standing inside the bar area and it was so noisy. She kept shifting uncomfortably while drawing down her gown. It was way too short and was exposing too much of her skin. She looked around the place filled with different calibers of drunks. They were talking and laughing within themselves, clearly wasted but still requesting more drinks. "Waiter bring another bottle of vodka" One of the men yelled. "What are you waiting for? Are you not going to attend to them?" Cane spoke into her ears out of nowhere. She jumped from being startled. Her mouth was shaking, even her hands were a bit left out. "I... I" "Stop stammering and get to work pretentious whore. I will be watching you from here to see how you will handle those men. Do not talk rudely to them and if they demand for your body, I will tell them the price" Cane announced and pushed Isabella forward after handing her a bottle of vodka.She held bo
Isabella didn't understand what Cane meant by her earning the money back for him until he went and came back with a dress and makeup artist. She was lost and confused as she was still hooked on those words Leo said about her. She wanted to get them out of her head so that she could stop hurting but she couldn't just like the way she couldn't stop herself from calling in love with him. Cane grabbed her up and made her stand on her feet even though she was looking unstable. "From now on, you will join the girls at my bar to serve the tables but yours comes with a special job because you will be rendering the service of your body to them as long as they pay me. Once I have gotten enough money to compensate for my loss, I will think of what to do with you" Cane explained clearly. It wasn't hard for Isabella to understand what he meant. While she is serving the tables at his bar, she will also be serving her body to the customers who need it. She gulped down and shook her head in disap
Jack Grayson was seen in a small house far from the city. He has been hiding here since the last time he spoke with Leo. The look on Leo's face that day was scary, it wasn't difficult to find out that the dangerous man had fallen for his pretty niece's charm. He'd come for her if he got to know that Jack took her from him not because he wanted to buy her freedom again but to sell her at a higher price. He had to flee his home to this place while he was processing his visa secretly. Just as he expected, Jack got a call from his neighbor about some people coming to look for him. It was obvious who it was. Leo did come to find him.Jack will be dead gone if he gets caught. Leo is not someone to mess with, the thought of going through what he went through the day they came to collect their payment made him shudder in fear. And as at that time, his boys were so lenient with him. Jack needs to leave the country for now else, it won't be long until he is caught. He made enough money from t
Cane Smith laughed to his heart's content on seeing calls from Leonard as expected. Leonard did value this girl here. "It seems your lover boy will find you soon but I am not sure about you being alive before then" Cane laughed again. He is suddenly feeling jelly for no reason. The fact that he just confirmed his guts and found out that he is right makes him overly excited. He pushed Isabella aside without saying anything else to her and left the room while laughing. He is going to be in a good mood today. Isabella exhaled deeply the moment her new master and his men left the room. They didn't care to untie her or remove the seal from her mouth. She just carefully stood up on her feet and sat down on the bed with all her body aching. She couldn't lie on the bed due to her hands being tied to her back. She is glad that Cane chose not to do anything to her body sexually. She'd feel dirtier than she already is and might end up developing PTSD without being able to save herself from t
