“I saw the conference video today, luce mia.” Owen’s voice boomed from Leonica’s phone as she had him on FaceTime. “You did great.”“I know.” Came Leonica’s answer as she finished changing into her to be and sat in front of the camera. “I know I did good because everything went according to plan. Well, everything but Florence’s appearance.” She muttered the last part, but Owen caught on quickly.“Florence Winslow? The reporter who you had an interview with? What of her?” He asked.Leonica contemplated telling the entire story. For some reason, she felt like telling Owen about Jamil wasn’t the smartest choice. It was like Owen held an unspoken vendetta for the male.But then again, maybe she was over thinking it. Owen wasn’t that type of person, and holding a grudge for someone he barely knew wasn’t something he’d do.So with a shrug, she spoke. “Florence works for Jamil Vanadas,” This words were enough to get Owen feeling more alert than he previously was. “Her questions seemed kind o

“Oh Leonica, you did wonderful!” Cassandra exclaimed the moment she laid her eyes on her daughter for the first time in two days. “You handled those reporters like a true Romero.”“Thank you mother,” Leonica soaked in her mother’s praise, pulling her into a tight hug before facing her father. “Hi dad.”“Leonica,” Benjamin walked up to his daughter, placing his hand on her shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. “I’m sorry for having put you through something like this.”Shaking her head, she offered him a smile. “Don’t be dad. And besides, I choose to handle the press conference, it’s the least I can do during this situation.”Hearing her words, Benjamin couldn’t help but mirror his daughter’s smile. “Thank you.”“What’s family for. Shall we?” She pointed towards the door which led to a hallway leading to the main Hall where the party was being held.As they walked, Leonica asked. “How’s Irene fitting in?”Cassandra scoffed. “That child is proving to be more of a pest than you’d thin

Irene should have been happy, after all, she was getting the reaction she wanted out of Leonica, but she couldn't be.No, not when the wine bottle had been empty, and all eyes were on her, trying to phantom what wrong she had done.Why weren't they judging Leonica who had poured the wine over her, she thought with gritted teeth, her eyes burning with anger.She was the victim here, so why were they not showing any pity."She must have crossed her boundaries." Someone said with a click of her tongue, the distaste evidence in their voice."Well, what's to be expected of an illegitimate child, who's a commoner at that. Disgraceful." Another chimed in."I'm sure Ms. Romero was provoked by her, or else she wouldn't have reacted the way she did.""That's true. After all, the Romero's are known to be very well-mannered."Whispers of such went on, only a few people expressed their distaste for Leonica's action."I've warned you several times, watch your mouth." Leonica said as her eyes scanne

"If you knew I couldn't be compared to her, why approach me in the first place, Jamil." Irene stated angrily as she finished adding the accessory to go allow with her new outfit. "You easily could have found-"Clang!The sound of something falling from outside cut her off and in seconds, her head snapped in the door's direction."What was that?""Are you asking me? Am I the one there?" Jamil answered sarcastically.Irene ignored him and stood up, making her way to the door."Don't tell me, you allowed a rat spy on you? Or better yet, maybe a snake."Snake. The moment he said the word, a certain person came to her mind, and Irene didn't waste any time opening the door, only to come face to face with the last person she had expected to see."M-meredith? What are you doing here?" She questioned the maid who had just finished picking a fallen mop up."The first Lady sent me to fetch you, Mr. Romero is about to give his introduction speech.""Oh," Irene scanned the maid from head to toe be

The introduction party ended on a grand note and everyone who was invited went home happy and content."Leonica, thank you once again." Benjamin gently patted his daughter's back as she saw him off."Anytime father," She offered him a smile before turning to her mother and hugging the woman."Come visit us sometime," Cassandra said as she squeezed Leonica hard before pulling back and holding both of her shoulders. "That place is still your home even though that child now lives there."Leonica smiled. "Of course, mother." She bade both her parents goodbye, waiting until their car had driven off before she turned to address Irene who had been watching her with a smug look. "You have a habit of popping up in the most unexpected places." She regarded her from head to toe, noticing that Meredith was not by her side as usual.The poor maid probably couldn't stand her after all the rubbish she heard Irene spout."What do you want Irene?"Irene chuckled, amused.

The first thing Leonica noticed as she walked towards the entrance of her Villa, was dropping temperature at night as winter was quickly approaching.The second thing being Arvan’s serious face as she stood in front of him, hands tucked into the pocket of the over coat Grace had insisted she wore before stepping out.“You sure chose to best time to show up,” She joked, taking note of how her breath seemed to take a misty form before disappearing. “What is it you need, Arvan?”“I wanted to drop this off,” Reaching into the pocket of his coat, Arvan pulled out a small brown envelope and handed it to her. “It’s the final document to reinstate the cooperation between our companies.”“That’s quite thoughtful of you,” Leonica said as she examined the envelope. “But, is that really the only thing you came all the way to my house for, Arvan?”The man stared at her, as If he was contemplating whether to speak his mind or not.“I saw the articles, Leonica,” He said at last, watching as she slow

Waking up to her phone buzzing had become a normal for Leonica. So, the following day, when she was awoken by the sound of her phone rumbling, she was in no rush to answer it."Ugh," She groaned, reaching over and grabbing her phone, swiping right to answer the call. "Hello?""Good morning, Ms. Romero," It was Kennedy."Kennedy, why are you calling on a Sunday," She complained, raising herself up into a sitting position and trying to rub away sleep from her eyes."Forgive me Ms. Romero, but it's a pressing matter.""What could be more pressing than my sleep," She grumbled."It's about the article that has been released today," Kennedy answered."Article?" That immediately woke her up, sitting her straighter up in her bed."Yes. It was published in the tabloid magazine, but I'm afraid this one has made its rounds to several news sites."Leonica was quiet. So Jamil wasn't wasting time, eh?"What's about?"Kennedy hesitated to answer. "I'll send you a link, Ms. Romero."Things were never

"Two big wins in less than twenty four hours, I gotta congratulate you, Irene." Jamil praised after having listened to Irene's story.The blonde held her chin high, smiling proudly because she knew today's outcome had only occurred because of the action she made. "What else did you expect." Walking to her bed, she sat on it. "Now that we have One of my father's most expensive client within our grasp, all we need to do is turn him against Leonica and with the public's option of her right now, that shouldn't be too hard.""Indeed," Jamil agreed. "But don't forget, the reason why Benjamin gave that contract to you is because he wants to change the public opinion of Leonica. The public may think otherwise about her, but the Romero family clearly still loves her."Jamil's words, although a simple reminder, peppered Irene more than it should have.Why would her father still care about Leonica. She was his first daughter. It was her mother that he loved with all his heart, not Cassandra.So

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
