“What are you doing?”The sound of Melvin’s voice from behind pulled her out of her little self indulgence. However, she did not rush to place the papers back, nor lock the vault.Instead, she did things at her own pace, only turning to face Melvin with a little tilt of her head after she had placed the papers back.“What?” She asked calmly, earning a look of confusion from her older brother.How could she afford to be so calm after he had caught her sneaking around in their father’s office.“I said what are you doing?” He repeated, taking the initiative to walk closer. “You were just taking something from father’s vault, weren’t you?”Leonica glanced back at the vault, then him, then the vault and finally at him, before answering. “Yes I was, got a problem?”Melvin was almost speechless, no, he was speechless at this point.Never had he received such a nonchalant response after a person had been caught doing something bad.But wait, what was she doing? And how sure could he be that i

A smirkes tugged at the corners of Leonica's lips and as she was alone, she didnt bother trying to hide it when it finally broke into a blooming smile."Tomorrow's just peefect, i happened to have some free time on my hand.""Great. I'll waitnfor you at Holloway Green's restaurant then.""Alright." Leonica said and hung ghe call up, immediately calling someone else. The phone rang for a few seconds befor it was answered. "Hi, Florence." She fauxed a cheerful tone, trying her best not to sound intimidating in case she scared off the journalist before her work was done."Hi Nica, pleasure hearing fron you again. Do you got another story to drop for me?""No, i just called to give you some advice concerning the previous story i shared." She informed. "I noticed that up till now, you still haven't posted it, which is a good thing, seeing as a major event including the Romero family is about to happen. You can post it then or a day before to get better popularity."The journalist thought h

Billy welcomed Gabriel the moment he arrived at the company. He escorted him upstairs and led him into the visitors office where Melvin Romero was already seated.As he approached, Melvin stood up and quickly bowed his head. He remained standing while Gabriel sat down, this giving him a few seconds window to study the male in front of him.He was every bit of the rumors he had heard. Intimidating, intellectual, and Godlike looking.For a moment, he almost couldn’t believe that Leonica had been married to him. But then again, she was Leonica, she, just like him, is on a different scale.“Hello, Mr. Romero I presume?” The sound of Gabriel’s voice had pulled him out of his thoughts and he quickly nodded in a composed manner.“Yes. Hello, Mr. Bryce, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” He greeted.“You as well. Please have a seat,” He gestured towards the chair and Melvin sat down. “So, what is the matter brings you to my company, Mr. Romero?”Going straight to the point, Melvin thought

Rodrigo was the palest white Leonica had ever seen. His eyes, coated deep with disbelief, darted towards the cell phone that was in her hand and in one swift movement, he had snatched it from her hand.“You… What are you doing?” She questioned, but Rodrigo paid no mind to her, instead, he focused more on getting away from her grabby hands and in the process, answering the phone call.However, much to his dismay and ironically, relief, when he glanced back down at his phone to confirm if the call had been answered when he answered Leonica’s phone, he was met with the phone still ringing.“I said what the h*ll do you think you’re doing?” Leonica repeated as she snatched her phone from Rodrigo, ending the call before facing him. “How dare you snatch my phone and answer my call without my permission. Do you have a death wish?” She asked, glaring at him with so much malice, it surprised him.He didn't say a word, rather, he continued to stare at her.In that moment he wasn’t sure whether t

“This is beautiful,” Staring at the golden engagement ring on Leonica’s finger, Anastasia and Megan alike, both couldn’t help but gush.It had al started when they settled things and had put Ashley to sleep. Afterwards, Anastasia had spotted the ring and erupted like a volcano, squealing at the top of her lungs.“I can’t believe you’re engaged.” She said and Leonica smiled softly.“To think that the old Leonica who wouldn’t even dare look at a man after coming back could become the first one to get engaged,” Megan teased, shaking her head in a playful manner.“Well, that was the old me, this is the new me. I think it’s safe to say this change was for the better.” Leonica defended, watching as Anastasia continued to marvel at the ring.“Wow, Owen sure does have taste.” Anastasia mused as she finally pulled away, giving Leonica’s ring finger some much needed taste.“Of course he does. He chose her after all.” Megan chimed in, earning a playful nudge from Leonica.“Stop the flattery. It

Walking down the stairs in a formal attire to find Owen waiting in the seating area was slowly becoming a normal thing to Leonica.But for Owen who was constantly surprised by her beauty, it was an amazing experience every single time."You look beautiful." He complimented as he helped her down the remaining stairs and Leonica gave him a smile."Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself."The smile on his lips at her comment grew larger when he spotted the ring on her finger."What am I meant to understand by this?" He asked, holding her ringed hand gently as he raised it up and pressed a soft kiss against it.Leonica didn't even try to hide her blushing cheeks. She just smiled, her eyes meeting his."Whatever you want, Mr. Lee." She replied.Owen chuckled. "Is this your way of accepting my proposal?" He asked.Leonica smiled, but her answer was delayed as she reached up to caress his cheek. "Yes, it is."A smile formed on Owen's lips and he couldn't resist kissing her.The kiss was s

After leaving Gabriel behind, Leonica and Owen had made their way back to the table where everyone had gathered, Rodrigo included.As she sat down, he gave a look that Leonica knew all too well. She responded with a confident smile that confused Rodrigo momentarily.Before he had the chance to decipher the smile, Benjamin had already drawn his attention away.“I think it’s about time that we start with the announcements.” His brother said, looking around the room and gauging how crowded it had become in less than an hour since the party began.“Yes, that’d be a good idea.” Rodrigo agreed, and Benjamin stood up, kissing C*ssandra on the cheek before beckoning that his two sons and Leonica follow him up the stage.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to this very important day.” He began, drawing the attention of those present. “Today, we’re all gathered to welcome back my son, Melvin Romero and witness the inauguration of a new president into the seats of Romero Empire.”“Ne

After much congratulations from friends, potential new clienteles and family as well, Leonica stood in front of the refreshment area, fetching herself a fresh gl*ss of wine. As she sipped on it, surveying her environment with an absent mind, she thought back to the little accomplishment she had just made.She smiled, once again proud of herself.That smile however, vanished at the sound of Melvin's voice."I thought I had you all figured out," He stood beside her, stuffing both hands into his pocket and releasing a heavy sigh through his lips. "But you're more of a sly minx than I thought."Leonica shot a glare his way. "A minx? That's one way to address your sister."Melvin shrugged, a smile on his lips that didn't quite reach the light in his eyes. "You have to admit, it's not entirely wrong."When silence descended on the two, Leonica glanced at him, expecting another witty saying, however, much to her surprise, she found a desolate look on his expression.Makes sense, she thought

Anastasia had fallen asleep after her call with Megan, only to be awoken to the sound of someone knocking on her front door.Reluctantly, she slipped out of bed and made her way towards the front door and without checking who was at the door, opened it.When her eyes landed on the person standing in front of her, her expression switched from surprised to angry, then back to surprise, because she had not expected to see her mother standing in front of her door after so long.“At times I want to believe that you’re blind to my call, but then I see you winning all these cases on national Television and realize, oh wait, my daughter does have eyes.” Pushing her way into Anastasia’s apartment, Fiona dropped her purse and coat on the chair and turned to face her daughter. “Give me one good reason why you’ve been avoiding my calls?”“Didn’t Mason pass along my message?” Anastasia questioned, closing the door and heading to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.While doing so, she did

Whatever dark, alcohol induced thought that had been roaming Anastasia’s mind was dashed the moment she gave Lloyd the pass code to her apartment and instead of doing anything when he arrived at her room, he simply tucked her underneath the duvet and sighed.“You’re really a case.” He mumbled underneath his breath, but she clearly heard it, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, she caught his wrist.“You’re leaving? You’re not gonna do anything?” She had blurted out the question before she could control her own words and in seconds, she wished for the bed to open up and swallow her.Gosh, why had she said that?The alcohol, yeah, it is as definitely the alcohol!“Do you want me to stay?” Lloyd’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Do you want me to stay, Anastasia?” He repeated when she remained silent.Her grip around his wrist loosened and Lloyd nodded.Of course she didn’t want him to stay. That was simply the alcohol in her system talking.Swallowing the bitter pill, he

Lloyd’s words had instantly sent Anastasia’s heart into an overdrive. Without even needing to focus on it, she could feel her heart beating hard against her chest, shaken up by his words, his proximity and the look in her eyes.And it scared her.Not Lloyd, but rather the familial pounding of her heart and the fluttering in her stomach, because she knew it all too well and it was a feeling she feared.It was the same feelings that had caused her unfortunate relationship with Derek.Those memories flashed within her mind and before Anastasia knew it, she had paled.Lloyd didn’t fail to notice this and in seconds, his expression changed into concern. But before he could say anything, she had broken free from his hold and stood up, walking towards her door and holding it open.“Get out.” She demanded.Lloyd was surprised by the sudden shift in her attitude. Just a few seconds ago, she seemed pissed at him, now the look in her eyes made it seem like she was trying to be on guard against h

Shrouded by the darkness her office provided after lights out, with her eyes glued to the bright screen of her laptop, Anastasia replayed the CCTV footage she had gotten from Danco.She studied the man’s movement, how he had approached Logan, his face shaded by the black hoodie he wore. She paused the video during moments of their interaction, trying to read the lips of Logan.It was clear he rejected at first. He even looked appealed by the idea. But then his eyes suddenly showed the interest that had sipped into his mind after heading something that he hooded figure had told him.What could it have been? Anastasia wondered as she watched the part of their interaction where Logan had indeed offered the hooded figure payment, in the form of raw cash, but he rejected, handed the drive over to Logan and walked out.Smartly, the hooded figure had walked in the opposite direction waiting until the attention on his had lessened before he came back and entered the black car, which belonged

“What?” Anastasia blinked in surprise after hearing what Logan had said. “He didn’t request for any money?”“Yes. As a matter of fact, it seemed like he was doing it not out of crude or hatred, but rather obligation. At first I thought something was wrong, I tried refusing it, trust me, but he insist and before I knew it, that bastard had dumped the concept and vanished.”Anastasia brows knitted together more. This wasn’t at all in the file that Kareem had given her. In fact, going back to what he had told her when briefing her about the case, he said the employee’s motive for selling the concepts was because they had gotten fired and had a personal grudge against the company.But that wasn’t the case, at least not from both sides.“And did you tell your attorney this or-““Yes, I have. I even explained the whole goddamn thing to Riley when his lawyer dropped by yesterday, but he refused to listen. He thinks I’m covering for the employee.” Logan sighed. “Look, I’m telling you the trut

Anastasia sat in the chair farest from Lloyd, listening to all his assistant had decided to tell her about the situation.Yes, she had accepted the job. Why? Well it was simple, the pay. The money that was offered for her to handle this case was more than enough to buy her a whole island.Who was she to turn down such an opportunity. Most definitely not her and most definitely not because of someone name Lloyd Riley.“And that is the case.” Kareem concluded.“I see.” Anastasia hummed, nodding her head in the process. From all she had heard, learnt and was able to gather, the situation on ground had come about because of an employee who had stolen confidential files from the company and took it to a rivalry company, selling it off.But the rivaling company, either they were not smart enough to change the concept of what had been sold to them or that they purposely wanted to rub the fact that they had gotten hands on L.R co’s latest concept.Either way, it was a stupid move and Anastasi

Lloyd woke up the next morning to find the bed beside him cold and empty. His brows furrowed and as he sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, his mind recalled the events from last night yet Anastasia was nowhere to been seen.Did she leave? He wondered.He looked around, and his eyes landed on a piece of paper on his bedside table.Lloyd frowned and picked the note up, his eyes skimming through the words written on it.Last night was great, but I could have gotten better. I left some cash to thank you for your service. Hope we don’t ever cross paths again, Lloyd Riley.After reading the message, Lloyd’s eyes quickly found a thousand dollar bill placed on top of his wallet and he chuckled.“Is this a fucking joke?”Did Anastasia take him as a sex worker? Or did she think he was a prostitute?And she even had the balls to tell him that she hoped they were crossed paths again.He shook his head, still finding it funny that she’d leave a message like this.“Oh, Anastasia, you’re so cut

“Lloyd Riley, I’ll make this a night for you to remember.”It was like a promise, or maybe even a declaration, but regardless, it was one Anastasia was determined to keep and she knew just how to do so.Over the course of years, she had dealt with boys like Lloyd, players, the call themselves. They waltz into your life, mess up your emotions and end up using you as a one night stand.Anastasia’s first experience at that had been painful, so right now, as she walked back to where she and Lloyd had been seated, she wondered how Lloyd would feel if the tables were turned on him.“You done?” Lloyd asked as she took her seat from across him, fingers curling around the glass of her whiskey.“Yes. The bathroom here didn’t really have much to offer.” She flashed him a smile, deciding to move on to her plan rather than delaying an further. “So, do you have any plans after this?” She asked, placing the tip of her glass on her lower lip and looking at Lloyd through her lashes.He narrowed his ey

Standing in front of the mirror, Anastasia sighed, a frown etched onto her face as she checked herself. For a second, she debated whether or not she could pull off the outfit she was wearing.Her usual dress code, always having had the mindset of a lawyer and boss woman, was a simple jumpsuit or trousers and a blouse. But tonight, she had decided to switch things up.Tonight, she was wearing a knee length, skin tight dress, a dress that was cut at the front, revealing the bare skin of her thigh. Her hair, usually held up in a messy bun, was free flowing down her back, her lips a deep shade of red and her eyelashes long and luscious.As she stood there, checking herself, her mind began running wild.Why had she agreed to a date with Lloyd? What the fuck was she thinking?She shook her head, this for sure, was going to turn out to be chaos.Being ripped away from her thought by the sound of her door bell ringing, Anastasia decided to lock up her worries in the back of her mind and appro
