"Sure." She said and Kylie opened the booth for her to drop her suitcase. They got into the car and Kylie drove out of the house and towards the airport."What about the house Kylie?" Jenna asked."I'll have someone take care of it before I return back to it." Kylie said."Return?" Jenna asked in surprise.Kylie nodded as she took a turn. "If after one year,the marriage still doesn't make me happy then we annul it." She said with a huge smile on her face.
"What sorcery did Rex use on you?" Jenna asked shaking her head."This is not sorcery Jenna. Mother said this."Jenna shrugged and looked out the window hoping the black veil covering her friend's eyes would be off her face soon. She wished Kylie could tell a good man from a bad one. They got to the airport and Jenna alighted from the car. She picked up her suitcase as Kylie stepped out of the car.They huggRelated chapters

Later in the evening,she arrived home but he wasn't back yet. Agnes was in the living room sipping tea. "You're back?" She asked when she sighted her. She nodded. "Yes Nana,how was your day?"

"I'll be right back." She said as she turned towards the stairs.Agnes phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello.""Agnes how is it going?" Lucinda asked."Well,they haven't murdered each other so let's say it's fine.""That's good to hear." Lucinda said happily."Only one thing I feel is wrong." Agnes said worriedly."Which is what? Tell me Agnes." Lucinda pleased."They stay in separate rooms. How are they supposed to bond if they do that?" Agnes said."With time,I believe that will change. I have to go now Agnes. Don't hesitate to call me if there's any dev

They walked into the launch venue,East Wintergarden and it was already packed by a whole mass of people."Seems the people are excited to know more about the Leomi X5." Leo said with a huge grin on his face."I'm hoping to see how talented everyone claim you are dear." Kylie said still having that dazzling smile on her face. The media were also inside the venue hall."Trust me wife,they don't lie." He said smiling. The hall was packed with potential influencers,brand ambassadors,bloggers,researchers,celebrities,journalists and many more. His product manager was already up the podium ready to announce him in. He took Kylie to a seat reserved for them. "I'll be back soon." He said kissing her forehead and she smiled and sat with her legs crossed."They look so happy together,""Despite it being an arranged marriage."Kylie heard a few people whisper behind her. She ignored them and focused on the man that was walking towards the podium."

The launching of Leomi X5 was successful and over and a launch party was held in one of the most expensive hotels in London 5 star hotel. The launch party was filled with business partners,families and friends. Kylie's mother was able to grace the occasion."The kids seem to be getting along well." Lucinda said to Carina after the evening greetings."I believe it's an act to fool us and the media. Anyone can pull that charade." Carina said. Her eyes were intently on Leo and Kylie as they greeted the guests. She was quite familiar with her daughter's fake smiles."Don't say that out loud Carina. Paparazzi could be lurking around to get information to paste on their blog." Lucinda said looking around."You're right Lucy. I'm afraid I just can't keep my mouth shut these days." She said letting out a sigh."Mom," Kylie said advancing towards them with a pleasant smile on her face. The evening turned out pleasant than she had thought. She could keep with th

Kylie walked out of the house fully dressed in her immaculate peach colored tailored suit and an inner white turtleneck. On her lips was a nude lipstick and a pair of black stilettos on her heels.Raymond,her driver rushed towards her. "Ma'am, the car seems to be having some engine problem this morning." He said."Not again," she said devastated. At that moment, Leo walked out the door."Good morning sir." Raymond greeted."Good morning sir." Theo greeted from the other end of where Leo's car was parked and as usual he waved the greetings aside as he advanced towards his car.Arrogant,Kylie scoffed to herself."Have you called Martinez to come fix the car?" She asked Reymond."I did," he said nodding. "He said he'll be here late.""Late? I can't wait till he gets here." She said in dismay.Leo's bodyguard opened the car door for him and he got in and paused. "Raymond." He called for Kylie's driver and he came rushing towards him. "Sir," R

Kylie walked into the house holding the little baby in her arms. She made funny sounds to the baby that made her giggle. "Helen." She called out and Helen came down the stairs. "Yes ma'am." she said awaiting her order. "We're going to take this little bundle of joy out for shopping okay? so stop whatever you've been doing and meet me in the car." She said and Helen nodded and dashed back the stairs. Kylie walked out of the house and noticed Leo was already gone. She shrugged and went into her car with the baby still in her arms waiting for Helen. Few seconds later, Helen was seated at the backseat of the car with her and Kylie's driver turned on the ignition and drove out of the house. Kylie wondered what terrible mother would abandon her child this way. On another thought,she believed the child's mother must have been very young and unable to cater for her needs. Unwanted babies was all in range these days. She

Leo sat crosslegged waiting impatiently for the inspector general. The office reeked of tobacco with portrait of him and what he has achieved everywhere.Kylie kept her cool and tried not to puke from the tobacco smell. She hated cigarettes and the sight of the ashtrays were not doing her any goodIf she could be feeling like this,how would the baby who was twisting in her arms."Sorry for keeping you waiting." Inspector Shane Dawson finally walked in. Kylie managed a smile as he sat down. Even his teeth were almost yellow from too much tobacco and he was just in his mid forties."I really don't like being kept waiting but I'll let this one slide. You're an officer of the law after all." Leo said.Inspector Shane gave a brittle smile. Rich people and their arrogance especially with perks like Leonard Michaelson,it was way terrible. They have all the money in the world and other people do not matter to them.Well,he had the upper hand today. Leonard ha

Carina flashed charming smiles at her daughter. Agnes had spoken to her and Lucinda about the relationship going on between kylie and Leo and she wasn't all so happy about it. Why would they be sleeping in different rooms? How would they bond if they're so apart despite being in the same house.Lucinda had been against her coming to the house saying it was too early to interfere but she would not budge. She won't let her daughter let a good man like Leo slip off her finger like that. She'll.. She paused in her thinking as she noticed the baby in Kylie's arms.She had a puzzled look on her face. "Is that a baby?" She asked with a bit of shock etched on her forehead.Oh,she didn't know. Then why is she here?Kylie thought. She had at first wondered if Leo told her about wanting to adopt an abandoned baby and she had come running to dissuade her from the idea.She shrugged. "Yes. This is Sheila." She said walking towards her mother."This isn't your ba

Kylie slapped her head multiple of times and waited patiently for Leo to leave the room.When she was sure he was gone,she walked out of the bathroom hurling damnations at herself and Leo.She quickly put on a robe and went to check on Sheila. Satisfied to see her sleeping peacefully,she was about to lay down on the bed when she got a text from Leo.'Come to my room now!' He said in a matter of urgency.Kylie frowned at the message and then curious to know what he wanted,she left to his room.Taking the second stairs that led to the elevator,she walked into it and the elevator took her to the last door. His room.The elevator led directly inside his room. There was no need to make use of the front door.She walked into the room and found him standing at the front door."Kylie,your mom insisted on seeing you despite the fact that I told her you were in the shower." He said with his tone underlying that mother was pressuring him.

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.

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
