It was going to be Leon’s first public appearance in years. That fact alone was enough to make my hands tremble as I adjusted the small clasp on my bracelet. For someone who once thrived in the public eye, Leon had spent years retreating into the shadows. Now, he was stepping out again, and I was ste,pping with him.

I wasn’t nervous because of the cameras or the stares I knew we’d get, I don't know if I could handle that. But I had to, no matter how the thought of it made my stomach twist. I understood the weight of what this night meant for Leon. He was doi,ng this in memory of his father, a man whose legacy was complicated and painful for him. And he was doing it with me by his side.

When he asked me to come with him. He tried to make it sound like a joke, but I saw through it. Beneath his sharp words and casual shrug was a vulnerability he always liked to mask. So I agreed. Of course, I’d agreed. fake-assd I not, when he was putting himself through so much just to show up?

    KaylaWe got invited to the charity ball that was to be held in respect to the third anniversary of Kane Valois's death. They did it every year since he died but this year was different because I got to attend. I never got the chance to attend before because Dad only got a plus one invite so he took Mom with him but now that we were practically in-laws our invites were exclusive and we were on the VIP guest list which usually consisted of just family. I guess we had become family, at least one good thing that stupid bitch Naya was useful for.I was having a panic attack at the same time, I was happy that I was going to the charity ball I mean it was a big event that only the top one percent get access to so I should be over the skies as expected but what made my stomach twist was the thought of seeing Ryan Valois again after he completely humiliated me I didn't how I could come face to face with him again.

    NAYA“You are joking right?” I nudge him and he just shakes his head wearing a smug smile“Where would you get that kind of money?” I whispered “You also think I can’t afford it don’t you?” He asked and the words in my mouth got lost“Are you sure about your donation sir?” The host tried to confirm“You heard it loud and clear didn’t you?” Leon asked with a straight face, no one said a word to each other they just stared at him in shock and then at one another, I wasn’t exempted I couldn’t even close my mouth.“Ten million dollars from Leon Valois, that is one way to make your way back after being away for so long,” the host said and the hall erupted in loud whispers while some cheered.“What the hell are you trying to pull?” Jenifer asked her face tightened in a scowl “First you show up uninvited now this? Trying to be the center of attention?” She continued to ask when Leon didn’t say a word“Why would he need an invitation to an event for his father?” I asked, I just couldn’t sit

    JENNIFER VALOISWe were back home after the charity ball, Ryan and I rode home quietly not uttering a word to each other. It was more like we were both taking in everything that had happened. It still felt like a dream to me and I didn't want to believe that it was real.I tapped my foot anxiously as I waited for the account manager of the foundation to pick up the call.“Check the account balance,” I said as soon as he picked up“Yes we got all payment from the donation it is all there” he answered“How much is it? How much is in the fucking account?” I asked “Two hundred million dollars ma’am,” he said and I let out a loud groan of frustration“Is everything okay?” he asked“Check it again, refresh it, it should be one hundred and ninety not fucking two hundred,” I told him“I don't under-”“Do as I have fucking said!” I shouted “I am currently on the account that is the exact amount there,” he said sounding confused“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck” I muttered under my breath “I would se

    LEONThe soft rays of the morning sun peeked through the curtains, flooding the room with a golden glow. I had been awake long before the first light touched the sky, my mind restless after last night’s events. My body ached faintly from being in the wheelchair for so long, but I didn’t care. Last night was messy but necessary.I reached for my tablet on the bedside table and unlocked it. The notifications were endless. My name was plastered across every major blog, tabloid, and online news outlet. A mix of shock, curiosity, and mockery filled the headlines. “Leon Valois Donates $10 Million—A Cry for Attention or a Statement?” one article read. I scrolled through the sea of comments, most filled with speculation about where I’d gotten the money. Some questioned my motives, while others found my appearance at the ball a source of entertainment“Leon Valois shows up with mysterious woman” Another headline read I leaned back in my chair and smirked. The sound of light footsteps pulle

    NAYA I couldn't believe myself and why I kissed him, one minute I found myself leaning in and I just couldn't stop myself. Thankfully he didn't reject me but part of me was embarrassed by my own movement. I couldn't push away the feeling on his lips on mine, his kiss was delicate yet passionate. I loved the way he made me feel. I wondered how I was ever going to face him again. I probably made things super awkward between us. The moment I found my phone in the living room and turned it back on, it was as if the entire world had been waiting for me. The screen lit up with an endless stream of notifications, and the vibrations wouldn’t stop it felt like my phone was having a meltdown. Thousands upon thousands of messages and alerts flooded in all at once, overwhelming me. My heart raced as I stared at the chaos unfolding in my hands. I wasn’t the mysterious woman anymore. Somehow, they had found out everything about me. My name, my life everything was out there for the world to se

    RYANThe night was quiet, but my mind was anything but quiet. I sat in my dimly lit study, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a boulder. Papers, documents, and pictures were scattered across the desk, all reminders of the chaos Leon had brought into my life. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as a storm of thoughts raged in my head.I didn’t know where to start or how to fix the mess that was unraveling in front of me. It felt like everything was falling apart at once, and I was powerless to stop it. I grabbed the whiskey bottle from the desk and poured another glass, the amber liquid shimmering under the light of the desk lampMy mind kept circling back to the same question, the one I dreaded most.What if he wants to contest for the title?That thought alone was enough to drive me mad. If Leon decided to step out of the shadows and challenge me, everything I had worked for would be at risk. I wouldn’t stand a chance.I had three advantages over Leon, th

    NAYA I woke up early, determined to get a head start on preparing for Leon’s session. After everything we had been through and the chaos of the past few days, it was time to refocus. We couldn’t afford to waste any more time. Leon wasn’t walking yet, and that was the ultimate goal. I took a deep breath as I got out of bed, mentally going over the plans I’d made for the day. Each session was a small step forward, and while progress had been slow, it was still progress. I reminded myself of that every day. Heading to the kitchen, I made myself a quick cup of tea to wake up properly. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft glow through the windows. The quiet of the morning gave me a moment to think, to plan out exactly how today would go. I wasn’t going to let anything distract us or slow us down. I grabbed my notebook, flipping through the pages filled with exercises and techniques I had researched and written down. Each one was carefully selected to push Leon closer t

    I woke up and it felt like I had been in a trance, I tried to move my body to find out that both my hand and feet had been tied, then there was a cloth over my face so I couldn't see a thing, there was a tape over my mouth was also so all I could let out were weak muffled screams. We were moving and I was in a tight space that I figured out I was in the trunk of the car. I kept screaming through the tape even though they were barely audible. I still continued screaming and kicking to let myself out or call attention to passersby all to no avail.“Shut the fuck up bitch or I would stab you in the guts” someone shouted from the front seat of the car.My brain couldn't function, I could barely think about anything else other than trying to survive. I just couldn't die yet. The car came to a stop after hours, at some point it felt like they were driving in circles. The car trunk opens and the first thought that came to my mind was to make a run for it. I hopped out of it even with the fa

    JENNIFERWhat I received was worse than a low blow. How could Ryan have done something so reckless, something of this magnitude, and keep it from me? At the very least, if I had known, I could have done some damage control. But now, it was too late.I was too dumbfounded to speak, too stunned to react as the shareholders and board members all turned on me, demanding answers. They thought I was part of this mess, but they had no idea that I was just as shocked as they were. I wanted to defend myself, to explain that I had no clue what Ryan had done, but the words wouldn’t come. For the first time in a long while, I was completely speechless.“How could you allow this?” the chairman of the foundation asked“This has to be some type of misunderstanding,” I said trying to calm the situation but they weren't having it and my patience was drawing thin.“Did you think this was a good agreement and made him sign it?” his wife asked me irritating the shit out of me, who was she to question me?

    Once again, the election didn’t hold it ended before it even started, worse than the last time. The shareholders couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The moment they finished reading the contract Ryan signed, chaos erupted.Jennifer tried to calm the situation down, raising her voice above the commotion. “Let’s give Ryan a chance to explain himself,” she urged, her eyes scanning the room desperately. But when it was finally time for Ryan to speak, he did the exact opposite of what everyone expected, he stormed out without a word.His sudden exit only made things worse. The board members erupted in anger, shouting over one another. Some demanded answers, others turned their frustration to Jennifer. She was left standing there, trying to maintain control, but it was clear this was a disaster.Leon turned to me, his eyes glinting with amusement. “What do you rate this surprise?” he asked, smiling like he had just pulled off the greatest trick in the world.I folded my arms, pretending

    Arriving at the company for the election was almost the same as last time, the eyes of everyone around were glued on us, the camera of the press flashing in our faces. The only difference I would say is that Leon wasn't sitting in a wheelchair he was walking by himself.“Your cane” I gasped remembering he came without it again“I’m fine trust me and I have the best masseuse in the world” he winked at me as we walked in. I just shook my head at himRyan and Jennifer were the only ones not present yet everyone had to wait for them to show up. Everyone’s eyes didn't look away from us they kept whispering and giving us dirty look“Leon” a man called softly behind us and when we turned, it was an older man in his late fifties wearing a classic black suit so I assumed he was one of their family or major shareholders.“How may I help you?” Leon asked ignoring to exchange pleasantries “I am Richard Brokee, I worked as your father's vice president before he died,” he said“Okay and?” Leon ask

    NAYAThe rest of the week passed by so quickly that it almost felt like a blur. Before I knew it, the day had come for us to meet with the board members and shareholders. It felt like time had slipped through our fingers, and now we had to face the moment we had been waiting for.It had only been a week, and I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. There was no way Leon could have convinced enough people to support him in such a short time. Winning them over required careful planning, persuasion, and time was something we didn’t have much of. I don’t think he even started trying to win them over to his side yet.The thought made my stomach twist with worry. What if things didn’t go as planned? What if the board was already leaning in Ryan’s favor? No matter how confident Leon appeared, I knew this meeting would be tough. And that uncertainty scared me.“What are you thinking about?” Leon asked from behind me wrapping his arms around my waist“The voting would commence today,” I said“Okay and

I couldn’t help fit smile just watching her sleep like a baby, memories of the night we had came flooding in and the smile on my face grew even bigger, my arms were wrapped around her as she slept. We were still both naked, our bodies having contact with each other and I didn’t mind it.The night took an unexpected turn never would I have guessed that I would be naked in bed with her and I didn’t regret anything in fact I wanted to have more nights like that. Life felt perfect and I wanted it to remain like that forever, I just had to keep her safe and not let harm get to her in any way.I placed a small kiss on her forehead making her let out a low mumble in her sleep. She was adorable I was smiling way more than usual. I just out of bed took a quick shower and headed to my office, there was a lot of work to be done and as much as I would love to spend the day in bed with her I had multiple thin

    KAYLAI was still in bed when my mom ran up to my room and just stormed inside like something was going on.“What the hell Mom,” I said with irritation “You need to see this,” she said“See what? You can’t just storm into my room like that” I hissed“Just look at this,” she said, handing me the tablet in her hand, I took it from her hesitantly. Curious to see what she was talking about and it was a video. When I hit play I couldn’t believe who I saw on the screen.“What is she doing here?” I froze“It isn’t surprising that Naya would be with him” my mom answered I was shaken just seeing her there, she wasn’t supposed to be there. How was she there? My head started to spin and if I wasn’t sitting on my bed I would have dropped to the ground.I watched the rest of the video as she said and the first thing that took me aback was Leon saying he was going to contest for Ryan’s position and just before I could react to that the camera panned down to his legs and he was standing on both fe

    NAYA“I can’t put you through that, I am sorry I would deal with them alone,” he said his eyes begging me to leave“I’m sorry, I can’t,” I said looking him in the eyeHe looked shocked at my response, but that was how I felt hearing everything he said just made me want to stay by his side more. “But it doesn’t involve you!” He shouted“I promised to destroy the Genrey family, and I will do just that. Leave my family problems to me and stop interfering!” He shoutedI know he was trying to rile me up, yet all I could focus on was him. He sat on the edge of the couch, his shoulders tensed and his hands clenched into fists. He looked like he was fighting with himself, his breathing was heavy.I reached out, wrapping my hands over his feeling his warm skin in my hands, but he didn’t move.“Pushing me away won’t stop me, Leon,” I said to him softly yet firmly to make myself clear enough “I’m not going anywhere.

    “Why are you in my house?” I asked wiping off the white particle that remained under my nose“How long have you been using again?” She asked glaring at me with disgust“I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said grabbing the transparent bag and chugging it into my pocket“Do I look stupid to you?” She asked“Fucking answer me now!” She shouted throwing a pillow at me“It’s just this once, okay? Get off my back,” I hissed, struggling to get up.“You are a disappointment,” she spat, her voice filled with disgust.I let out a dry laugh. “Cut the bullshit. That means nothing coming from you,” I shot back.Her calling me a disappointment was ironic. If I was one, it was only because she failed as a mother. She shaped me into this.“I’m your mother! You will not speak to me like that!” she shouted, her voice shaking the room.The room felt suffocating, the air thick with tension as she stood before me, her glares burning into mine. I was still coming down from the high, but her words

I’m forever grateful to her.” He addedHow was that possible? From what I knew she was a college dropout so how?“He just called her his wife,” one person said “How long have you guys been married?” “Naya Genrey, how did you meet” they all rambled trying to get pictures of them“It is Naya Valois” I corrected and my blood bo
