Leia sits there waiting for Claire to come out regardless of being mistreated. Leia doesn't question her purposely delaying her. She has a weird feeling in her body but she isn't saying anything, nor is she asking for water or touching the juice she was served.No one in the Sky mansion is trustworthy to her. They are all under Claire's influence and Claire is evil.Soon Claire's footsteps echo in the living room and Leia looks up from the TV which she has her gaze focused on. Claire has dressed in an elegant short blue dress and her hair is up in a bun.She doesn't look like a middle-aged woman at all, she looks like she is in her early thirties."Why do we have you here again today Leia?" Claire says as she stops at the last step and then Leia pushes herself up to stand and greet the woman before her when she suddenly starts feeling dizzy.The ground beneath her is spinning and so is her head. Before Claire can utter another word, Leia falls to the floor, unconscious.A few hours la
"At least learn some manners first." Mark frowns angrily and she seems even angrier as she looks at him."What is he doing here?" She half whispers to Leia who looks back at Mark before replying."Well, he brought me home." She replies softly and Mark walks over to them and dumps the bag of medications in Leia's hands."Don't forget to take your pills and eat. Stress yourself more if you like. If you conduct a funeral for your child in the next few days, know pretty well that I won't pity you even though it might be related to me." Mark says with a hint of anger in his voice before he walks back into his car and drives off.Rachel looks at her in shock. She isn't expecting what Mark just said and she needs Leia to give a proper explanation of everything he just said, but she doesn't look like she's going to say anything about it right there, so Rachel just leads her into the house."Where have you been since morning? I've been worried." Rachel groans as she closes the main door.She h
Leia rushed into the station as soon as she drops Rachel off at the airport. Her body, pumping with excitement and determination to see Kasen, she was going to discuss with him and tell him about their baby. But the closer she gets to the station, the more her heart begins to thump, she could understand that avoiding him was just punishing herself. This was really how she felt towards him, she couldn't let him go. Clutching tightly to the file in her hand, she makes her way into the office."Hi officer, I want to see my husband," she requests, rushing her words as she glances around. The officer stares at her for a while, well he did recognize her, but he exhales before shaking his head. That wasn't looking like a good thing to Leia as she draws closer to questioning the action just now. "What's going on? Why aren't you asking someone to let me see him," she asks. As she looks around, she notices the eyes of people as they start at her but she scoffs at them. "Why're they sta
Her name was still on the gun, her gun.Even if she swore never to use it again, she couldn't entirely get rid of it, and besides, the situation she was facing needed one.She needed to be somewhere, she needed to speak with him one on one. Leia was beyond fed up. It was time she met him, the master planner.At once she rushes out of her house and hurries to her car. "It's time both of us have a little heart-to-heart," she tells herself, igniting the engine zooming off. She arrives safely at her destination, the gates are closed with the two familiar bodyguards from last time on patrol. She gets down, grabbing her purse in anger. Her fingers could feel it, that strong metallic body, it was a beautiful feeling, and Leia couldn't help but imagine putting a bullet through his head.She'll be needing this after all."Where's your boss?" She yells at the guards, but they stand frigid at the door. "I need to see Mark right now," she gritted."You can't see him," the guard answers plain
"I need some time to think about it." Leia finally says, her tone calm and indifferent. Mark pauses before he sighs with what seems to be exasperation."Fine Leia. But my offer stands. Don't take too much time thinking about it." He croons in her ear. Leia can practically taste his impatience.She doesn't reply as she hangs up on him. Exhaustion seems to weigh on her bones, making them feel heavier than usual. With a groan the brunette curls up in her bed and falls asleep, thoughts of Mark's offer still bouncing around her Brain.The next day finds Leia sprawled on her couch with still no answer to the veritable problem that is Mark's proposition.Leia can see the pros of working for Mark. It would give her an edge when it came to interactions with him and most importantly it would give her the precious information that she needs. But she can also see the cons. The numerous cons."Ugh…" the woman moans as she flings her arm over her face."All this thinking is going to give me an aneu
(Twenty minutes earlier)Leia slowly walks into the house, her eyes searching for the masters of the house.Her lips twist when she doesn't catch sight of them. Even the servants are missing."Hello?." She calls into the seemingly empty house, disconcerted when nobody replies. Her voice seems to echo in the silence and the eerie quality of it sends a shiver down her spine.The clacking of heels breaks the quiet. Leia looks up at the lounge balcony and catches sight of the matriarch of the sky family leaning against the railing.The frosty woman glowers down at Leia, not unlike the way a person would stare at a particularly irritating bug before squashing it under their boot.Leia gulps in trepidation. Claire looks very angry. Leia doesn't think she's seen her this mad.Lifting a trembling hand, Leia gives the older woman a shaky wave."Hello, Claire." "What are you doing here?" The woman sharply says. The tension in the air could be cut with a knife.She angrily gestures a hand to t
Mark doesn't startle at the sound of Andrew's voice. The man blinks in shock at the sight of Mark caressing the face of Leia.Beside him, Claire whimpers and clutches his arm, her nails digging into the flesh from her fright."W-what's h-he doing here?" She finally stutters, her face awash in terror. Andrew swallows in trepidation. He doesn't know why Mark was here but he can only guess. And his suspicions only fill him with dread.Finally, Mark turns to face them but what they see stuns them because Mark doesn't look angry. He's smiling. The force of his grin stretches his mouth, his eyes wrinkling as he beams at them."My…. I didn't think I would ever be grateful to you for anything but today both of you have exceeded my expectations!." He says with a cheerful voice.His expression melts into a blissful one "To think she had the gall to have another man's child." He muses."An abomination! For that bastard! How dare she!" He yells before suddenly throwing his head back and laughin
She can still hear the words of the doctor ringing in her ears which had been related to her after she woke up from her slumber. "We're sorry to inform you but you suffered a miscarriage after the accident.'It doesn't feel true. It feels like a nightmare but the pain in her head from the stitching on her forehead, with the many layers of bandages on her head and the heavy feeling in her stomach tells her that it isn't.She slowly brings her hands to her stomach, her fingers feel stiff as they press into the padding of flesh.The doctor told her that she's been asleep for two days and that she was lucky to not be in a coma but she didn't consider this mews to be luck. Leia can't help but feel that a coma would have been better than waking up to the mess that is her life. She can feel tears pooling in her eyes because she's finally alone now. She has nobody else. Fate has finally taken away the last thing that she has. Her poor unborn child. Her breath hitches as she sobs in angui
