"Kylie!" Leo exclaimed in shock. Leo didn't want to wait and find out who just committed such horrible atrocity as he jumped into the water to rescue a struggling Kylie who didn't know how to swim from the water as the people around gasped.
He carried her off the shore as he knelt on the sidewalk leading to the boat as he held her in his arms.
"Are you okay?" He asked her worriedly. She coughed ceaselessly unable to reply him.
"Look at me." He ordered her as she looked faint ready to close her eyes.
He held her face in his hands as shook her refusing to let her close her eyes.
Despite knowing she was not in the water for too long,he laid her down giving her the CPR and she coughed, out a little bit of water.
Her eyes finally well opened as Leo held her in his arms again. Glad that she was okay. Emotions swirled inside of him at the verge of breaking him. He was feeling it in his heart. He could also taste it. The unconditional love but was h
And as the months rolled by Leo was certain that he wanted Kylie to remain in his life but he knew she would not want the same. Could he force her?Here they both were watching Sheila try to walk on her own in the living room. Kylie was standing encouraging and letting her know she could do it.Leo on the other hand sat crosslegged telling her it didn't matter how many times she'll fall,if she doesn't want to get up today and try again,she can try tomorrow which was much to the displeasure of Kylie."Don't tell her that." She said frowning at him.He smirked as he picked up his glass of orange juice. "It's life Kylie. I'm teaching her the ways of life." He said."Shouldn't you be in the office today?" She asked still frowning at him and smiling at Sheila at the same time."Can't I stay in my own home without you trying to send me away?" He asked raising a brow.She rolled her eyes completely ignoring him as Sheila began to take her fi
Kylie stared at screen unable to utter any word with her hands over her lips."Kylie?" Leo called her and she stumbled backwards and he held her in his arms. She pushed away from him."How did you get this?" She asked him."I'm sorry I didn't want you to see this." He said in an apologetic voice. He had suspected that this was going to be her reaction."How did you get this?" She asked him again.He signed. "I wanted to find out who did such a thing to do and this got recorded in the CCTV footage." He said to her."How long have you known this?" She asked him. He let out a sigh."Five months." He said to her and she stared at him in shock. He'd known this and hid such vital information from her."Why didn't you tell me?" She asked him feeling betrayed."This," he said coming close to her and she backed away. "I was afraid of your reaction." He said and with what he was seeing maybe he should have just told her than getti
Leo was seated in the meeting room watching his staffs go on and on about a latest model. He was there with them but his mind wasn't. He was barely listening. He was thinking of the pretty wife at her mother's place. He couldn't wait to leave this meeting and go be with her and enjoy the comfort he was finding in her arms.He was usually grumpy towards his staffs and was always early to the office but recently his staffs had noticed a change in him. A radiant smile on his face every now and then.He was less of a grump now and answered greetings with a smile. They loved this side of him and wanted him to stay that way. They believed it had to do with his marriage."Sir," Lance tapped him."Uh?" He said disoriented as he looked up."You have a call." Lance said to him handing his phone to him.Leo took the phone and stared at the caller ID. Kylie. He should change her name to something sweet and romantic. He almost slapped his head at t
Kylie was panicking as she was blindfolded and roughly towed along towards God knows where. All she could feel underneath her feet was crispy dried leaves but with no knowledge where she was being taken to. She was pushed roughly into a shabby cabin and she gasped when she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.A calloused hand gripped her arm and got her seated on the ground and began tying her up. He tied her hands behind her back and tied her legs together to prevent her from escaping.She whimpered as his fingers bruised her with each roping around her wrists."What do you want from me?" She finally asked finding her voice. "Is it money? Let me go and I'll give you all of it." She said to him.He chuckled. "That would have been a good bargain but someone else is not interested in your money." He said."Who is that person please? What does he want from me?" She asked."You're find out soon." He said to her and just then she heard footste
Kylie was grateful to Leo for coming to get her as he wrapped his jacket around her to cover her bare skin. She was literally shaken from what just happened. Shaken that Rex could be this cruel to her.As they drove home with the police car behind them Leo held Kylie close to himself at the backseat of the car while Oliver took the wheels. She sank deeper into Leo's body as she found comfort in them.Leo was thankful to Oliver for coming along with him. He'd not wanted to get anyone killed but when it came to that, Oliver had got that covered for him. Killing the three men they encountered before he got to Kylie.The drive home was a silent and torturous one for Kylie. She wanted to speak. Vent out her anger and hurt about Rex but she kept quiet about it instead and stayed in Leo's arms till they got to her parents place.As Oliver parked the car and stepped out,Leo stepped out with Kylie too and together they walked into the house.Carina screamed
For days Kylie could not get the events that happened with her and Rex out of her mind. For him to still be out there uncaught made her worry the more. What if he tries such act again? But then,there was Leo who had hired her a bodyguard. She'd been against it but still he did not relent. He did what he thought was best for her.Here she was resuming her work again and still unable to concentrate. Her thoughts divided from the files in front of her. It was her continuous racing heart whenever she was around Leo that was beginning to alarm her. What was it with him that made her have butterflies in her stomach and made her knees weak. Was it his touch or the way he looked at her with loving eyes these days? What was going on in his mind? she wondered.All of a sudden she lost interest in work and wanted to go home. She wanted to be with her little daughter who was growing bigger by the day. She wanted to have a little day out with her. She needed to bond with her just a
Kylie watched Leo from the pantry door as he played with Sheila in the living room. It was a lovely sight to see and this time she knew in her heart that she wanted this man. It's been weeks and she could not deny that the feelings were growing stronger daily.She wanted her world wrapped around him and his with hers. She wanted to stay here and she knew it was going to be possible if she accepts it to be. Hell,she was going to accept it. She was going to stay here. No one could love her and Sheila like he does."Why don't you join them dear. I'll finish up here with Patricia." Agnes said to her watching the way she looked at Leo and her daughter.Kylie shook her head. "No no. I'll finish up here first." She said to her.Agnes smiled. "It's becoming less of a burden seeing him around now hm?" She asked and Kylie walked back to her and smiled back as she handed the bag of flour to her."Not a single burden at all." She said to her."Finally, it's all falling in one piece." She said and
The rays of the early morning sun filtered into the room and awaking the lovers who had spent passionate hours together.Kylie was the first to wake up and as she did,she stared at Leo still asleep. She watched his steady breathing and his face. Yes she loved him very much and she wasn't going to pretend. She wanted to remain like this forever with him.She wished she could resay her marriage vows to him and this time she'd mean every word of it. Not because she was forced to marry him but because her heart called out for him.This could be the best thing her mother had ever done for her and for the first time,she was grateful to her for it.She placed her lips on his for a quick kiss and then head to the bathroom. As she turned away to leave after kissing him,he pulled her back to him and she gasped."You wanna leave me here hm?" He asked her with half closed eyes."Good morning,I thought you were sleeping." She said to him with a smile."Well that kiss is surely a good way to start
Leo got to his lawyer's firm and walked into his office. "It's a good thing I took the papers to the inspector today." Leo said to him as they shook hands. That was why Leo could rush over to his place.Mr Tony sat back on his swivelling chair. "Let me see the papers." He said to him.Leo handed the court papers to him and Tony went through it. He looked at Leo."This is fake Leo." He said to him and Leo stared at him in shock."What are you saying?" Leo asked sitting up. "The court order is fake Leo. There isn't going to be any court case between you and this woman." He said to her.Leo stared at him in disbelief. "But I went to the address. I got the phone number of the lawyer who issued it." Leo said to him."And have you given him a call?" Tony asked him. Leo shook his head."Why I wanted his number was to get Sheila's mom address but I met her on my way back home." Leo explained."Call him now." Tony told him.Leo pulled out his phone and called the lawyer placing him on speaker.
Sheila's so called mother did not stop coming to the house and when Leo made it known to the securities never to let her in,she threatened to deal severely with them and within weeks,a court letter arrived at the doorstep of the Michaelson's.Kylie could hardly believe it when she read the letter with Leo and Sheila's questioning too was making think so much that this letter was the final straw that made her completely distraught."What do we do Leo?" She asked him.He folded the letter. "I'll get in contact with my lawyer. If this is what she wants then she should be able to face what's coming. I'll never let Sheila go with her." He said."What if she wins the case? What will we do?" She asked him."Have a little faith in your husband Kylie, I'll not let that happen. We have every right to Sheila." He said."But she's the birth mother!" Kylie exclaimed worriedly and looked around hoping the kids weren't there to hear her outburst. She won't be able to hide it forever. Someday she'd t
**Five years later**"Mom!" Derrick called out loud and Kylie was forced to close her laptop the instant the five years walked into the room, matched up to her with a scowl on his face. He'd been yelling for her through the hallway."What is it sweetie?" She asked him ruffling his brown hair. This was the product of the fruit that had been inside of her six years ago."It's Sheila. She doesn't want to play with me." He complained."What do you mean?" She asked him."She's busy with her princesses coloring book and says she won't play with me until she's done." He said still pouting.Kylie forced herself not to roll her eyes. He was fond of getting upset over little or meaningless things."Well why don't you wait for uh?" She asked him."But I want to play make believe with her now!" He whined and began to throw a tantrum. She could barely handle him. Leo was the one perfect with handling him when he begins to throw fits. Just like the one he's doing now."Alright listen to me," She sa
