It's been 2 months since the passing of Danny. Alphia has been very busy with handling work at the company, she indeed had the support of everyone including Mathew and other staff. The mansion was doing great, and Leonard was doing great with schoolwork and was improving. Alphia was scared the loss of his father would make him weak, but it rather strengthened him, he has been working even harder, he no longer played and every time he should have been playing was directed towards learning new things. This attitude of his scared alphia. This was not the son she gave birth to, she was no longer herself, and everyone changed. Mrs Grey is over in England for treatment, she could not smile. The light of her life suddenly went out. Alphia got home, it's been a tiring day at work. The light in Leonard's room was illuminating, she walked over and before she could open the door she heard voices. ‘’Why won't you give in Leo, you are a child and no one would believe you”’ the voice sounded too
‘’Ask you say? Alphia, I was born to be a young lady adored and showered with the best of dresses and jewelry, I was not born to be a maid but you took everything away from me. At first, I did not hate you, I loved you and treated you as my equal but after finding out how it all went down, I could not help it. How could you take everything from me, how could you not be sad when you make others cry”’ Sarah's voice carried so much hate and disdain. Alphia nor Matthew understood what she was dwelling on. ‘’What's this all about? I have never hurt you, I mean not intentionally, I have loved you and given you the privilege of looking after my son and this is what you do to me? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much?”’ Sarah laughed out like the witch she was. “Did you say you loved me? Alphia you have only loved yourself. I loved him, I was there when he fought countless times with his mother. At first, it was just like we were friends. I watched him move from jovial to lo
Mrs. Alphia had tears in her eyes when she was done, she never wanted her children to see this side of her, especially not Leonard, he took the company over from as early as 17, he made sure she got spoiled and now Grey Empire is solely owned by the Grey family. He made her husband's wish come true, who wouldn't be proud of such a son, he gave Daniel everything. It was a bad habit, however, Leonard did not take it to heart. He wanted his brother out of business, he wanted him to enjoy his youth and join him when he was ready and if he never was, that was okay with him. Mrs. Alpha and Leonard sat unfazed by the past, however, Daniel was not the same; he was a mess, a crying baby by the time his mother was done. He had been well shielded from everything, he knew his father died before he was born, however, he did not get a chance to miss out as Leonard was more than a big brother to him. At some point, he had asked if he could bring him to school as his father. It had been ridiculous
Leonard flinched, he had not been expecting her to be awake. ‘’Let's talk about it by night”’ he tells her, making his way back to the door. But her voice stops him. ‘’I know you don't want to, but Leonard she is here because of me it has to end with me’’ Leonard turned to the woman on the bed, she understood too much, he knew just how much she had had to put up with because of Anabel and her mother and just when he thought he could take her away from everything, she creeps back in ready to destroy her. He takes long steps embracing her. Why did she have to go through so much, he wanted to be her shield and he was now hurting her. ‘’I know about everything, Leonard, I have been a lone wolf for a very long time that I forgot how to depend on others, but now all that is gone. I know I am not alone and with you, I can make it. We can do it together”’ Areille held on to the man in her embrace even tighter. She was not ready to let go. ‘’I know we made a contract, but I don't want to l
This meant everything to Arielle. She did not understand when the tears came but it flooded blocking her view. She had been searching for a long time and finally, she had some closure. ‘’How long have you had it and what is it?" Leonard stared at her. ‘’I have had it from the very start, I could bring it to you because it would mean I knew everything about you’’ Arielle understood where he was coming from. They had just met and at such a time she was more focused on destroying Anabel and Edward. She would have taken him to be another enemy. ‘’So you're not mad, I kept so much away from you? I am very wealthy but just like I have kept my reputation a secret I think it is time to go out into the world. Mark is tired and needs a break, he can continue behind the scenes’’ Leonard, with every secret he discovers about her, only fuels the need to know more. He had stumbled on the evidence taken 20 years. She had not been very careful and a video of her survive with everything she did. ‘
‘’My father has never wanted my mother to be the method of the family, because of the hate you have for her, however, he clearly stated my wife would have that honor since Arielle is willing to sacrifice and share her home with her sister, I think it is only wise a feast is organized and the keys of the mansion should be handed over to her’’ Leonard weighed every word. It was his bargaining chip, and he would not bulge if it was not accepted. Arielle turned to him, she had not known of such plans, but now it made even more sense. ‘’Well, she can have it after the wedding,” Grandmother declared. But Leonard was far from happy. ‘’No, if she can't have it in 3 days, then the wedding is as good as over. I have promised my mother, and there is no way I would go against that, you know me better. But grandmother, I have learned from you far too well to know this would be as good as forgotten once the marriage is done and over”’ Leonard cleaned his mouth as he was done with his meal. He sto
Arielle's joy knew no bounds, deep down she had been worried for Kendra, she had raised the company of Robert Daiz to great levels and ended up with her step-sister. ‘’If I remember, correctly, the last time you were willing to put with everything, so what changed?’’ Kendra's smile faded. ‘’Well, I had taken your words seriously and needed to find proof for the divorce. I found out I was pregnant and told her about it. He wanted us to walk things over for the sake of the baby. I did accept, but the last time we had to meet you bailed on me, let me return home earlier and I found them talking. They were to push me down the stairs or give me abortion pills without my knowledge”’ Arielle had to put her hand over her mouth to muffle her screams. She was very versed with step-sister drama and their entitlement, but resulting in killing the baby which may kill the mother was something only the worst of all can be capable of. ‘“‘So wanting a baby has been the sole reason you kept quiet a
The day wasn't young Arielle and Mark Logan had a great time with the boys. They were now in better shape and their leader was just amazing. He had outdone himself. Arielle could see Lawrence was out of it, he did not look his usual calm and focused, he could not get his eyes to leave his phone, and was often distracted. ‘’Lawrence can I have a word with you?’’ ariele asked. He had been in a world of his own that her words startled him. He nods with a smile leading her to the pool. No one was there and it was further away from all the noise. The building had been extended and they now did not have a pool but every member had a room assigned to them. The yard was relatively large making outdoor workouts less stressful and engaging. ‘’What has been eating you up, I couldn't help but notice you haven't been yourself”’ Arielle placed a hand on his, he was not a friend, but he was something more. Someone she knew she could count on and rely on in desperate times, their race which had o
