Isabella froze on her spot, she wasn't expecting him to show up at her door like that. Before she knew it, Leo came inside the room. Ellie took that as a cue to leave, she bow her head in an apologetic manner before scrambling away from the room leaving Isabella all alone with him. "I asked a question earlier, were you hiding here to avoid me? It's just been a day, are you tired of me already?" Leo asked taking threatening steps closer to her while Isabella gulped down the lump which suddenly form in her throat, she couldn't even move her legs. "No master" She quickly interjected, lying to her own self. Of course, she wanted to hide from him, to avoid him as much as she can but is there any need for that when he can find her just anywhere in this building? Leo came closer to her, he nodded his head at her then he cupped her face in his hand before stepping away, giving her a hard and scary look. "Good, you were wasting too much time up here, I thought I should bring you down mysel
Hours Later... Leo woke up sweating profusely with tears streaming down his face, he has been having reoccurring nightmares since that incident that took away his sleep.For each passing day since eight years ago, he haven't gotten a peaceful sleep without waking up a few minutes later looking all sweaty and teary. He developed insomnia and finds it hard to sleep, when he does, he usually wake up with the same terrific dream. Sighing, Leo wiped the sweat on his forehead and the tears slipping out of his eyes before standing up from the bed. He tied his rope, wore his flip-flops and made use of the door, entered the elevator and got downstairs. To the place he has been spending his nights for the past eight years, reading away the night till morning. Everywhere was dead silent as everyone have gone to bed, only the chirping sounds of the night birds were singing in his ears. The cold breeze of the night hit him as he opens the front door making his way to the cottage where the libr
The library in this building instantly became one of Isabella's favourite, she knew that it is way more smaller than that of her school library but the books and it's uniqueness differs. Every book she sees excites her to read them, even some of her course books were already added and also her book preference. Maybe her Master is not that heartless given that he at least wants her to spend her leisure time well. This place will be her reference store and all from now onwards. As she was lost in her own thought, half of her mind with the book in front of her and her thoughts occupied the other. She was so occupied that she didn't know when the door opened. Leo has been standing at the door silently watching her for about five minutes, at some point, she look focused to him or pretending to be focused. Either way, she is cute, so cute when she is reading. He pocketed his hands before walking over to her table, right in front of her. That was when she noticed his shadow and jumped awa
Leo plunge himself in and out of her till he reached orgasm, pouring everything on her stomach after withdrawing himself from her. Isabella hold out well, she didn't pass out like the other day, maybe she will keep holding out like this from now on. There's nothing else she can do aside that. She look down at herself then at Leo standing in front of her. He walk into the library bathroom and cleaned himself up. Coming out, he paused on seeing Isabella seated in the same spot he left her looking so alluring that makes him want to take her right there, again. When it comes to his sweet little pet, he doesn't think he can ever get enough of her. She is simply a temptress, his temptress. "Take your dress with you and wash up" He instructed, Isabella didn't wait for him to say another word before scrambling into the bathroom, that act made him chuckle. She's cute!Smiling, he looked at the mess they created on the desk and left the library with the believe that she will clean it up, she
"what do you say?" Leo asked Isabella who stared blankly at him. He wants to take her to and from school everyday? Why? Does he think she will run away or what? Why can't she have peace of mind even outside the mansion? But then, anything for her to start going to school from here. It's just to drop her off and pick her when she's done right? "I agree that you will take me to and from school, thank you for allowing me to go back" She replied and for the first time, she didn't stutter. "Good, since that has been settled, you will have to share your schedule with me" he said. "Yes Master" They both ate in a very uncomfortable silence, although only Isabella find it uncomfortable. It feels like her breath has been cut off or something blocked her lungs stopping her from being unable to breath. She couldn't be more grateful when his phone started beeping and he finally stood up making his way to the living room. She breathed out and fanned herself with her hand as she watch his ret
Isabella got startled by the sudden opening of the door, she quickly turned to the direction of where the sound came from and found Leo approaching her. She didn't know when she jumped out of the bed but she did, Leo is too scary that he makes her all jumpy with just the sight of him. "Good evening Master" She greeted, her hands clogged together and her head bow. Leo only nodded his head at her and threw a box on the bed for her. "That's a new phone, your things will arrive soon and a phone isn't among them. My number is already saved so share your schedule with me via WhatsApp or whatever means you can use" he said, turned around and left without waiting for her to say anything. For some reason, Isabella thought he look angry, it's unlike him to come into her room without even coming close to her. Did something happen? Once he is out of her room, she picked up the box and to her surprise, it happens to be the latest model of iPhone, a phone she never dreamt of ever having. A small
Isabella choke on her spit, her head snap to Leo who was staring at her. "Me?" She asked in bewilderment and that made Leo hissed. How can she go to a party when she has never been to one? She did not even attend her own prom night, just how? "Yes, so be prepared. I will get you all the necessary things that you might need, you don't have to worry about that and also, have it in mind that I won't be going to parties with other ladies but you" Leo said abruptly standing up from the chair but not without holding Isabella up to stand on her feet. He kissed her cheeks and pressed her boobs before living into the house, leaving Isabella embarrassed. How can he be touching her so openly? What if the securities sees him doing that? Does he really not about how she feels? Without knowing what else to do, she walked back into the house. Her evening has been ruined thanks to him. Sighing again, she stepped into the living room and met Ellie with another girl. Isabella haven't seen her arou
As Isabella played nervously with her fingers while waiting Leo to say even a word to her, her shoulder slumped when he averted his gaze from her. Does she not look beautiful enough to him? Why is he treating her with so much coldness? Does he hate her so much? Clearing his throat, Leo chose to get rid of his thoughts, she can't have effect on him. It will only make things worse if he ends up getting emotionally attached to her. If there's anything he is still scared of, that will be the nightmare that has been taunting him for years. If that repeats itself again, it will only mean that he is at fault this time around. "Let's go" He said bringing Isabella out of her daze. With one last look at her, he walked out of the door towards his neatly parked Bentley while she followed suit. For the first time, Leo acted like a gentleman and opened the passenger door for her to get in. Maybe it's because her gorgeousness is suddenly blinding his sense of reasoning. Isabella sat down in the
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
