His men made assumptions and suggestions but he won't hear of it he was determined to carry out the plan of taking over and get Lukas in his mercy. "Abort the plans! Are you out of your mind?

"Where am I" Leonie wondered where she is, then memories came flooding in. She recalled coming to her boyfriend's apartment for a surprise. But in return she is the one who is the one surprised and hurt when she caught her niece Jane and her boyfriend doing it in his apartment. How she ever fell for that man is still baffled her. Jane how was she able to do it to her, as far as she she knows she was held captive as what she was told by Rafa and out of the goodness of her heart she treated her as a friend despite her intuition not to trust Jane.She introduced her to Leandro, but wait a minute for a short period of time she cannot believe that they were able to develop a relationship as intimate as that? Could it be that they already knew each other and all of this are just plain acting, but why? Leonie tried to find reasons to explain what exactly is happening?
