It was seven in the morning when we finished hearing her plan. Not only did she tell us how to carry it out, she even gave a detailed report about Leonard and his high-profile parties which she use to hear from Andrew during her high school days.

Nobody thought it would be Lexi who'll figure out the way from this situation but we are so glad that she did, I am, to be honest. Last night was really tiring for me but who thought the next morning I will already be equipped with a strategy.

The plan was really simple. When Lexi mentioned her brother Andrew working with Leonard we thought of telling him about the drive. Our lucky gold, in this case, was Andrew, Leonard's right hand; that means the drive will be delivered to him and there is no chance he will mislead the drive to someone else, Lexi taking the guarantee of it.

Following the plan, we need to get an invitation to Leonard's party. Getting inside his villa is the first step then Lexi will find Andrew with the others excluding

    I still remember the time when I called my mother and told her I am leaving for New York. She didn't really like the idea but tried her best to support my decision. From her side, returning to new york was a bad decision but I cannot tell her the real reason yet. I thought that maybe this time my experience in new york will be a little different but it's still the same, nothing changed at all. It's already been a month since I've arrived here and nothing is working in my favor. When Lexi said those words, I knew something really bad is about to happen, and boy I am right. They say that women have an incredible six senses that can smell trouble, maybe this is what smelling trouble is, "I want Veronica to seduce Leonard" these words are repeating inside my head. I can't able to unhear them, despite knowing my hatred towards that jerk, she still manages to let those words escape her mouth. She needs to understand what I mean when I said I hate him. I cross my leg and folded my hands,

They all had a better deal with them but I was stuck with Leonard.It's not me who gets nervous around a male, I know that very well but just hearing his name is scaring me.

Marking me with his f*cking lips in front of everyone, are you kidding me?I need to get away from him.I quickly pulled my hands from him and walk further inside the villa disappearing among the crowds. I don't want to see him, I don't want his touch on me, it's making me sick.I can't believe he tried that move on me. I should thank Monica for searching him and telling me how he marks woman. He thinks that women are some kind of plaything for him right, well mister this thing you've marked in front of everyone will make sure to give you some really *good* memoeris (mentally laughing).It was so embarrassing when I think back and saw the looks of everyone " she's next", "Lucky b*tch" they just kept whispering these words and to make this night worse I saw her.I saw Nicole looking at me with disgust, the person I was avoiding, she was here.All the things that were supposed to go side ways were already happening.

    "Why did you investigate her?" I asked straight to the point. There was no messing around anymore, no wasting time on stupid flirts. I wanted to know why did he involve himself in my business. I don't know him, he doesn't know me, and the big question; I fucking never asked for his help so why the heck did he run a background check on her. "What, answer me?"He rolls his eyes and goes back to his chair, leaning against the leather and resting his arms on the side handles, "you really lack manners" he grinned."Excuse me" He raised his eyebrow and brought his head forward, " I think the word you're looking for is thank you""Thank you my foot, just tell me why did you do it?" I said crossing my arms, the file still resting on my left hand."Why did I do it?" he rest his chin on top of his interlocked fingers, "maybe I want something from you"Of course, what was I expecting? free help from him, oh please, " not surprised"He got up from his seat and stood in front of me, "become my

    You know ever since I returned to New York I've felt something was missing like I know the feeling but still couldn't put it into words. Desire, need, obsession, yearning, or just someone's touch, I always find myself craving for lust. I'm not a romantic person trust me and this craving is not romance; it's intimacy that is taking a toll on me. Idk if it's me being sore for a year now or just a random sexual desire but pushing Leonard on the ground and sitting on top of him is doing stuff to me. I've been controlling myself for so long but our positioning is pointing to facts that my so-called body is hypnotized by him.It's begging for his touch, his hands on me and that fucking grin on his face is only making me excited for the part that my fucking brain is trying to avoid at any cost. Trust me when your body and mind argue, you can't help but consider running away to a place where there is no one and scream on top of your lungs like shut up. It's not like my situation is any eas

    One year and six months later, Leonard's POV "You know I hate bow ties," I say to Andrew who was busy ignoring me. He made some sort of knot with the strip of cloth and pat the shape into a very formal-looking bow tie. "Stop being a baby. It's not every day that I get to make bow ties for you and it's not the first time you're doing something that you don't like because of Veronica," He says glancing up at me, "You're just saying that because you're single." He tightens the knot around my neck, "Hey! Easy man," He scoffs and lets go of my bow tie. "See, who can tell you're the same Leonard King who used to torture people in underground warehouses? Now, you look like a guy who is completely whipped by his girl," I raise an eyebrow, "It's fancy coming from someone who follows a woman who gives you no attention," "Oh, C'mon we both know that she's trying to play hard, and just because she doesn't like me now, that doesn't she won't in the future.

    Three months later,"I can't believe she's already in labor"I quickly put on my shirt and threw some pants over as I slip out of the bed, Leonard dressing up as well. "Why did it have to happen now?" he sulked while wearing his shoes, " wear some pants before you slid those shoes" I smile and comb my hair to the adjoining dressing table.The last three months were bliss. Many things happened during these months and I just believe we are here now, the storm finally passed and the cloud looks serene, it's blue and happy, Ironic isn't it?I have moved in with Leonard a few weeks ago and we never left the bed during those weeks, I mean we did but you know what I mean. The moment he shut his door with me inside all we could do was kiss and kiss, then suck maybe lick, and sometimes even more.We were happy, I was happy. We talked about some stuff, his past, my past, our future and till now it's looking good. We don't need to plan ahead and ruin all the surprises. I sometimes find it fun

    LeonardShe is okay, he said. She lost a lot of blood but she is okay, they had to perform surgery to close the wound and stop the blood but she is okay. Nothing serious but she is sore, the wound was deep and she needed intensive care. I was listening intently to the words of the doctor, the treatment they'll do on her, the medicines they'll gonna use, the amount of time she needs in the ICU, what kind of food she needs for the next few days and almost every other thing that'll fasten her recovery."She is doing fine Mr. King, you can wipe off that vein from your forehead" the doctor smiles and pats my shoulder, "also when you ask for a doctor next time, try to be nice and not scary," he says and starts to leave,"Doc?" I softly call him out making him stop on his tracks, "can I....?" he understands my question and nods his head,I braced myself and enter the room where they just put Veronica. I hesitantly walk over to the bed, afraid to see her covered in bandages, afraid that she

    VeronicaFuck they spiked my drink. How didn't I think of that before drowning the whole thing down my throat? The icky feeling against my inside is still there, I feel nauseous. I open my eyes and looked around the room, crap they switched the room. This is not where I was before. This room is so much smaller than the previous one. It's like a prison, faded grey walls, wallpaper peeling from the sides, a little window on the top, and one tiny bed on the left side. The whole room gave me a claustrophobic vibe. I tried getting up, my leg was numb from sitting too long but still, I managed to wiggle it up when I notice my hands, the cuff was gone. I wasn't tied so they indeed locked me. I put my right arm on the wall supporting myself for a stand and lazily walked to the door. I tried opening it but none to my surprise was locked. I slouched to the bed and rest my head when I heard something. A sound, possibly of breaking a door, I faced the ceiling trying to hear the sound again an

If I hadn't planted Spice among them, then locating Veronica would have taken days. Now I know who they are, how many of them are involved, and what I need to do.I fiercely hung up the call and turn my face, meeting the ever-ready look of my people, just one command and they are off. I gesture to them to bring Spencer and follow Plan Klutz, if we are doing this then I want to end it perfectly. My lifelong habit of planning everything in advance comes in handy, I've looked through all the outcomes when the chip was gone, fighting against Viking was one of them. I prepared it in advance knowing if anything goes haywire with the chip then we have nothing but to follow plan Klutz which means taking down the Viking members, the security, and every other who knows how to use a gun with a paralyzing drug.Who knew Veronica wo

    Leonard"Where are you going?" Andrew hurriedly got up and pulled me by my arms, "we're almost done Leo, don't you dare screw this" he warned me but I think he's forgetting something.I don't take orders, I unhand myself from his hold and threw a punch at his face. "Stay here and get the chip, I need to go" I bang my hand against the picture telling him to grasp the situation.He looks at the picture while covering his nose, "holy fuck" "I'm leaving you in charge, take care of this and safely board the flight with the chip, I'm leaving"He wipes his blood and pats my shoulder asking me to hurry, "and my father knows about the situation, he's covering the deal so fly it to him"I ran down the entrance and exited the building instructing my people to follow Andrew and board out before midnight.I get inside the car and quickly drove to the airport, messaging Nil my private pilot, on the way to get the plane ready.

    Veronica"Lexi?" I called her name out as I untied my shoes and neatly placed them on the rack. I walked inside her apartment and take my regular spot on her barcalounger. Her place is exactly the same, nothing changed. Retro carpets, brick walls, and vases along with the hanging pots with artificial flowers on the windows.I notice a couple of new refrigerator magnets by the kitchen and I don't know if I'm putting the pattern right or not but one of the magnets seems to be for me. A letter L in red is crossed off and tell me if I'm being paranoid but I think it means Leonard and the cross is her way of saying I should break up with him.Seriously I don't understand. I thought we cleared all the negative assumptions about him so why get a magnet that could mean literally anything but it has to be this. I got up and walk to the kitchen opening the fridge and getting a beer before closing it a little harder to let the magnets fall but they didn't.I support my arms on the counter and
