Thirty minutes of explaining what had gone down in a week, omitting the parts she knew would annoy Owen greatly, like mentioning Jamil, Leonica was no faced with a very worried looking Owen."I leave for one week and you totally become reckless." He huffed, shaking his head in disapproval to all the stunts she had pulled."Reckless," Leonica parroted with a grin, finding how he worried for her, funny. "If getting a sprained ankle after being falling off a staircase is recklessness, then I'm all in.""Leonica," The way her name slipped through his lips made her smile even more, and she was tempted to wrap her arms around him, but he had beat her to it.His embrace was warm and the smell of his cologne, sweet and spicy, tickled her nose. She felt her body relaxing and leaning into his, and although they'd only been apart for a week, she realized that she missed this; him."When are you going to stop being so reckless? You mustn't always put yourself in harms way to protect everyone. You

Standing in front of his office mirror, Gabriel adjusted the rumples on his suit, getting ready for the press conference that he had carefully planned for, for the past three days.The sound of Billy gently knocking on the office door had his head snapping away from his reflection. "Come in." He called.The door opened and said assistant stepped in, holding in his hand, the speech that Gabriel was meant to give today."Everything's ready, Sir." He informed while handing Gabriel the folder. The male accepted it, subtly thanking him, yet Billy showed no sign of leaving."Is there something else you want to say?" Gabriel asked, eyeing the younger male from the side of his eyes.Billy hesitated. He shouldn't have, seeing as what he wanted to say was for Gabriel's good. He had known the man for close to six years and watching him carry on with his foolish antique up until now, worried him."I know I may be overstepping my boundaries when I say this sir, but I must remind you, there is no u

Seating in the agreed upon restaurant, Irene found herself checking her phone more time than needed so.Why was she so freaking late, she thought, bouncing her legs impatiently as there was still no sign of Leonica.What if she wasn't going to show up? What was she supposed to do then?The thought alone had her biting her thumb nail, an act she never thought she'd ever do until recently.Her poor manicured nails were suffering so much and it was all because of Leonica. But even when she knew this, Irene had to remind herself to stay calm, after all, she was here to make a deal with Leonica, not murder her, at least not yet.Finally, the bell above the restaurant jiggled and Leonica walked in. Irene watched her walk towards where she was seated, noticing the slight limp in her step."You're late." She said as soon as Leonica had taken the seat in front of her.The younger female flashed her a knowing smile. "Yeah I know,"Irene gritted her teeth. "You-" She stopped herself before anymo

Be it Jamil or Leonica, it was clear to Irene that both of them had tossed her out after getting what they wanted."Bastards," She cursed under her breath as she sat in her car, biting on the finger nail of her thumb. "Just you wait." She muttered, scrolling through her contact to see who she could use.But no one seemed to be forth coming. Those articles and tabloids released about her a few days back had really dented her image, up to the point that those who she considered friends, had distanced themselves. And as for the business Arvan had opened for her, it's condition worsened more than it previously was, hitting near bankruptcy.It was safe to say her desire to be part of the Romero family had caused the rest of she and Jamil's plans to implode.But she wasn't going to give up so easily."I won't let you win, Leonica," She said, her tone sounding more like she was trying to convince herself than anything, as she scrolled through her caller list and found Benjamin's number.She

The next day, Ashley was no pleased to hear that he had yet another doctor's appointment with Doctor Bailey."I'm perfectly fine, mommy!" He complained as Grace got him ready for the day. "Why do I still have to go.""Because if you don't, you'll have an awful stomach ache," Owen said as he walked into the living room, pecking Leonica on the cheek as he did. "Isn't that right, dear?"She nodded. "That's right,""But I'm already healthy," Ashley argued, his lips forming a pout as he stared at his mother with the most adorable puppy dog eyes. "Please mommy, let's skip this one.""No can do, Ashley," She shook her head as she lowered herself to his level, dismissing Grace as she took over the task of adjusting his sweater. "I know you hate needles, sweetie, but you just gotta do this one for me. It's gonna be the last one, I promise." She stuck out her small finger."Really?" Ashley was hesitant, but the reassuring look in his mother's eyes quickly washed away every spec of hesitation."

Irene kicked off her shows as she walked into the dim living room of her newly rented apartment. It was small, tacky with faded walls, busted pipes and The furniture were worn out, stained and torn.But the apartment was cheap, and considering the current situation she was in, it’d make due and price aside, it was the only place in the entire of Oslo that the landlord had agreed to rent to her. Apparently bad status not only affected her business, but also the willingness of Landlords to rent out their place to her.Clearly, they feared being on the Romero family's bad side more than a few hundred thousand bucks.But that didn't really matter to Irene, after all, she had no plans of staying in this rundown apartment for too long.Walking into her room, she strolled towards the wardrobe that looked like it could fall apart with a single push from a toddler and pulled it open and turned on the red light she had installed inside.There was none of her dress or accessory inside, instead,

Standing outside with Owen’s jacket around her shoulder, Leonica sighed out and watched her breath turn visible before it disappeared.Today had turned out to be much of a success than she had imagined.She chuckled, To think all her fears was all for nothing.The feeling of her phone vibrating pulled her away from her thought. She reached the the device in her purse, a thin smile finding it’s way onto her lips when she saw it was a message from Gabriel.[Hey, how are you?]It read.[I’m fine. Is something the matter?] She replied, waiting only a second for his reply.[Not at all, just wanted to check up on you. How’s your ankle doing?]Leonica stared at his message for a few seconds and could chuckle. Memory loss sure did a number on him.The Gabriel she was used to didn’t even care when he abandoned her on the road on the day of his grandmother’s funeral, but now here he was, asking how her sprained ankle was doing.Delightful. She could get used to something like this. But not to u

Billy?!Leonica was stunned speechless, eyes wide as she had not expected to see the male here, or anywhere as a matter of fact."Bill..." She managed to speak after a while, her brain still trying to process what he was doing by following them. "What are you doing here? No, why are you following us?"Owen turned to his fiancée with raised brows after hearing her address their follower by his name. "You know him?""He's Gabriel's assistant," The words effortlessly rolled off Leonica's tongue as she still tried to understand what was going on.Was he working for Jamil? Was that why he was following them? She felt a surge of anger spike within her. Of course Jamil was one to pull a stunt like this, turning those who you least suspect to his favorite weapons."You," Stepping forward, she stared him down with a cold gaze. "Speak, why are you following us?"Billy, who was currently looking like a deer caught in head light, opened his mouth, and then closed it again."Speak, Billy." Leonica

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
