2024-10-29 19:42:56The sun rays filtered into the room and Leo was forced to stir up from his sleep.
He groaned as he lifted his head,a wave of migraine hitting him hard.With his head lowered and his hand on his face,he got to a sitting position muttering to himself.Something was yet to register in his head. He felt like he was forgetting something and just at that moment Kylie's lipstick fell to the ground as she was about to apply it on her lips and the sound caught Leo's attention.She picked up the lipstick and their eyes met and she looked at him with remorse and looked away.That was when it all came to Leo. He looked at her side of the bed and noticed the red stains on it and he vividly remembered everything.Damn! He hurled damnations at himself as he realized he had forced himself on her.What would she think of him now? That he had taken advantage of her? Which he did. He swore.Why couldn't he control what was in between his legs. Why didn't he resist her aRelated chapters

"What are you doing?" She blurted out.He ignored her outburst still smiling as he pulled back a seat for her."Come sit down." He said to her.Slowly with hesitation,she walked towards him and sat down muttering a thank you and he placed a light kiss on her cheek.Kylie's stomach flipped and she pulled away from him.She wondered if he didn't go to work today just to do this.He sat opposite her still smiling. All she wanted to do was ignore him and just stare ridiculously at him but she could not pretend to be oblivious to the strawberry bruschetta sitting in front of her looking so creamy and gosh.. it was her favorite and also was the chicken piccata and she eyed it.How did he know these were are favorites?And like he read her mind, "I've been seeing you tell Nana to make them for you and I did my findings and they turned out accurate." He said.Kylie ignored him and dived into the strawberry bruschetta and moaned

Kylie was holding Sheila in her arms when she got a call from Rex. She placed Sheila in her stroller and picked up the call."Baby girl." He drawled."Really? Am I?" She questioned him."I've messed up a couple of times and I'm sorry about it." He apologized."Sorry? First you didn't show up at the club you asked me to be and then when during the Broadway show,you just disappeared without congratulating me and you never called since then." She said to him."What do you want me to do Kylie? You're married to someone else now and I do try to call you. Do you ever call me?" He demanded turning the tables against her."Rex,I'm sorry.. I," She began to feel guilty.Out of nowhere, Leo snatched her phone from her hand and placed it on loudspeaker."Don't you call this number again. She's now mine." He said and didn't wait to receive an answer as he ended the call."What the heck was that for?" She asked angrily."

"And where are we going?" Kylie asked Leo as soon as they got seated in his private jet. "You'll see." He told her still smiling as he closed his eyes and leaning into the seat. Kylie looked away from him and back to the window as her thoughts raced. Why did she agree to this in this first place? Doesn't she know what it meant to be on a ' just you and I' trip? especially when that ' I' was a male? She was beginning to regret why she agreed. She could have just told him an outright no. What would they be discussing alone? What? She groaned inwardly. This was going to be more torturous than she expected. The plane landed in the airport of the Bahamas and Kylie was surprised. Just few days ago,she had been going through a list of places to take a vacation by the end of the year and she had thought of the Bahamas. Was how he paid attention to every little details? She watched him as he spoke to the pilot. What

Kylie relaxed on one of the beach benches with a cocktail beside her and a sunhat on her head as her mind went back to the events of last night. What was wrong with her? Why could she not control her body demands around him.He's opened her and got her wanting more.She slowly cursed underneath her breath as she took a sip from the cocktail.If the first time was a mistake,a rape and force,what was the second and third time? She questioned herself.For she had readily given herself to him as soon as he played his game right again. Her heart wasn't yearning for him,so she believed but her body wanted the whole of him. The whole of what he could offer. The greater heights of climax he could take her. She heaved as she recalled all of the times he had helped her out.He wasn't that of a bad man was he? But why did he have those rugged tattoos on his body? A business man at that. What was it that he could be hiding? Her mother had insisted on this marr

"You won't condemn me?" Leo asked her and she shook her head. "No but though I would have preferred you handed them over to the cops." Kylie said.He nodded. "But the cops waste too much time." He said and groaned.Kylie laughed. He stood up to his feet."May I be excused for a while?" He asked her with a smile."Sure." She said and watched him walk away.She decided to lean back in her bench and reel on what he just told her when she saw someone who looked like Rex."Rex?" She muttered to herself and got to her feet. Her heart pounding. What if her eyes were betraying her and he wasn't the one?Curiously she walked towards where she had seen him but found no one there."What's wrong with me?" She asked herself out loud. "Just moments ago,I was so glued to Leo's intriguing story and now I'm imagining that Rex is here." She said slapping her forehead."Are you okay?" Leo asked pulling her arm.She jumped back in fr

The next morning, Kylie met Leo still asleep on the couch. Last night,he had left the room all to her and went to sleep on the couch. He was still pretty mad at her for yesterday and she had no idea on what way she should apologize to him for.Why the sleepless night for that? Why was she so fixed on apologizing to him? She shook her head,she shouldn't be egocentric on this right now. She accused him wrongly and should apologize to him.Just as she made an attempt to walk closer to him,he opened his eyes and she stopped in her tracks as she stared at him and her heart racing."Leaving for London already?" He asked her as he got to a sitting position on the couch. "I don't see any suitcase." He said to her."I'm not leaving for London anymore." She said to him and he nodded."Oh,good for you," he said as he stood to his feet. "I'll be the only one traveling then." He said and turned to walk away when she caught his arm and he stared at her."

"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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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
