Leonor looked up at Armando's angry face and frowned. He didn't even look at her. This made her even more mad at him for being so rude.He didn't drive them back home as it was a bit too far ahead, and he might just end up purposely causing an accident in his anger. He pulled over at one of his hotels and got out without glancing back at the woman who was in the car with him.She got out and followed him closely behind in anger and reached out to him. "Why are we here? Let's go back home." She said seriously."Can you drive?" He snapped. She was slightly taken aback by his question, she could drive, but she was still slightly lightheaded and drunk so that would be a bad idea. "No," Came her soft reply, he then said, "If you do not wish to get into an accident tonight, then shut the fuck up." He said and walked in. The receptionist saw him and immediately recognized him, the manager who was by the side also noticed his presence and rushed forth. "Ah... Master Armando. Good evening."
After a while, Armando started to feel weird about how quiet the bathroom was. Something seemed off. He figured he should check in on her, just to be certain she was alright. When Armando opened the bathroom door, he saw Leonor fast asleep in the tub. Her head was resting on the edge, and she was out cold. He couldn't help but let out a quiet laugh as he saw her calm face. It was so different from the tough little, feisty cat she was whenever she was awake."Sleeping in the bath, huh, princess?" Armando said to himself softly, a small smile on his face.He knew he couldn't just leave her there in the water. So, he picked her up gently, trying not to wake her up. Leonor made a little sound in her sleep like she would rather not be moved, but she didn't wake up.Armando wrapped her in a big, soft towel and carried her to the bed. He put her down carefully and took a second to look at her. Asleep, she looked so young and quiet. He didn't get to see this side of her much.He realized she
Leonor tried to stay calm. "Yes, I am. My things, they're not in my room. Do you know where they are?" Melissa moved closer, her smile was big but not nice. "Why? Do you think you're something special here? Think Master Armando cares about you?"Leonor didn't want to fight. "I just want to find my things. Please."Melissa laughed, a sound that didn't match her eyes. "Oh, he's got you all mixed up, huh? You think he's your knight or something just because he saved your slutty ass from being molested there and then?"Leonor felt her cheeks get hot in anger as she knew it had to be one of the ladies at the party who immediately gossiped about her to Melissa. "I don't think that. I just—"Melissa cut her off. "You just what? Do you think you're his number-one girl now? Leonor, you keep saying you're not interested in Master Armando, when in fact all you want to do that most is gain attention to yourself, you self-induced whore.""Look, Melissa-" she called, trying to hold herself back.
Armando watched Luca leave, his mind still on Leonor and Lorenzo. But mostly on Leonor, what had that foolish girl done now? He pushed the whole blame on Leonor as he would rather not feel any atom of spitefulness towards his brother-like friend. He had to see her and ask how and why she got close to Lorenzo, of all people."Master Armando? There's still something I need to inform you about." Williams chimed in, remembering something. Not that he forgot in the first place, he had initially planned to report this later when his master wasn't thinking about Leonor. But this time he decided to just tell him so he doesn't end up confronting and doing things without thinking carefully first."What is it, Williams?" He cursed under his breath and combed his hand through his hair as though that little act could take away all his stress. "The goods at the West side are stuck at the port. Donovan Mitchell's cousin is sniffing around, thinking we're behind his dumb cousin's death. Which, by the
'Who did that jerk think he was?' Leonor thought to herself as she paced up and down the room. She couldn't believe Armando had made her stay in this room while her things were taken away into the room next to his, which didn't even have a bed. She refused to even go into his room, even after he had left. She remained in the bedless room with her things.She was still brooding when she heard the door open and just when she thought things couldn't get worse, Melissa brought her raging bitch ass into the room and began ranting."I don't know what's wrong with Armando, why on earth would he give someone like you this room? It's special to him and therefore should be mine." She said, and Leonor ignored her rantings and tried to go sit by the corner and calm her nerves down when she felt Melissa grab her by the arm.Leonor took her arm forcefully from her grip, only for Leonor to see her raise her arm in an attempt to slap her. Leonor raised her arm and held her hand as she looked her in t
Leonor went around the house greeting and waving at people while smiling. Some greeted back, some snorted and others just snubbed but she didn't care. 'Nothing was going to ruin my day'.Just then, she bumped into Armando's rock-hard chest.'Except him'"What's got you smiling so early in the morning" Armando asked and Leonor's smile turned into a frown. "Must you ruin my day before it even starts?" she retorted and walked out on him nervously. Leonor could feel her heart beating due to fear, she felt as though she had stayed close to him, he would most definitely find out about what happened last night and what her brother intended to do.Leonor made sure to stay away from Armando for the rest of the morning and when she was sure he had gone to work, she continued moving around the house bored until she met with Lorenzo and Luca.As usual, they all sat together in the living room and chatted for a while, Luca did most of the talking though. Leonor brought some of the treats she had
Armando's manly scent filled her nostrils, causing her to be dazed and dizzy. "What's this now, Leonor? Cat got your pride?""Hey! That was demeaning and I don't condone it." She said, justifying her actions by changing the topic. "But isn't that what you do, Leonor? You lure everyone to your trap and then leave them there while you scurry around for your next victim.""What the fuck are you even talking about?" She asked confused, earning a scoff from him. "What's going on between you and Lorenzo?""Excuse me?""You are not to be excused, Miss Torres. You are to tell me right now, what is your relationship with Lorenzo? Do you like him now? Are you fucking with him already?""What the fuck!""Curse me one more time, and you'll lose your tongue." He warned, his gaze angered. "I get that you don't trust me, but you really think I have that much power to entice one of your men? Should I be honored?" She said in a more angered tone."You wouldn't dare.""Oh, but you are doubting our fri
Armando couldn't remember the last time he got so engrossed with sleep even with the effects of sleep inducers and anti depressive pills. He looked to his side, to see the most beautiful scene ever, Leonor was all cuddled up in his arms and she looked so comfortable and at ease. Armando wondered if he hadn't had anymore bad dreams because she was with him, in the end he didn't want to think about it anymore. He slowly got out of bed, not wanting to wake her up.He picked up his phone to find that it was 10am already, he wondered how he could have slept so much. He would naturally be up by 5am and then go out on a jog before working out more in his room.He was now far behind his schedule and had to skip the exercise. He bathed and dressed before leaving the room, not without giving a little warm side glance towards the woman sleeping on his bed.Armando would be going to his company today to fire more of those incapable bastards in his company. He got out of the mansion and immediatel
Armando slid in and out of her slowly curving his fingers, it was a gentle motion not to be rushed, he muffled down her moans with a kiss, she pulled him towards her aggressively taking his shirt off, he stopped her midway and held her hands back, she whispered helplessly at him but he wasn't done.Leonore was not okay, she had planned to just tease him and run away but she should have known better, her legs vibrated and spasmed at his fingers, he looked down at her with a mischievous grin "You're too loud" he says, fuck does he mean she was too loud, just as she was about protesting he slid in a second finger, she gasped without thinking, he knew exactly what he was doing. She shouldn't have teased him in the first place.Armando's fingers started vibrating gently "No no no no please stop" Leonor pleaded with him, she wasn't ready to cum on the bed but he didn't stop regardless of that, her legs shuddered, her back arched she couldn't keep it in anymore, she wanted him and she wanted
The timing couldn't have been more perfect. She had insisted that the wedding ceremony take place in a small gathering, and thankfully, her soon-to-be husband embraced the idea with the same fervor that he embraced her. So there she stood, her heart brimming with gratitude, as she basked in the sun's beautiful glow."You seem radiant." Leonor heard his muscular voice behind her as he possessively hugged her from behind. "Armando stop it... We're in a public place." Leonor complained."No, we are choosing our wedding outfits and you are not paying attention anymore." He complained. She gave him a little sorry look causing a huge grin to spread across his features.His gaze suddenly darkened as he leaned in closer. "Are you possibly... Thinking about our wedding night." Leonor felt her whole being turn stiff as she heard him say that. She angrily pushed him away but he was so strong that he didn't budge. "So dirty." Leonor scolded but he chuckled even louder."Look at this one, Miss!"
"Let's go. We'll have plenty of time. I don't want to ruin my makeup," Leonor said.The truth is that Leonor didn't care about the makeup. She was just shy. Isabella was still inside, the same with the stylist and makeup artist. The last thing she would want is someone walking up on them.Armando entwined his hands with hers. "Let's go," he said and led her out.Armando walked her to the car. He had prepared the biggest surprise for her. A car was waiting for them at the entrance. Armando opened the door for her to step in before walking around to sit beside her. The car drove off. "Why send a makeup artist and a stylist, is it that you didn't trust my style? And you picked over twenty gowns for her to pick from." Leonore complained."What? Not satisfied with the princess treatment you were given?" Armando asked her a small smile on his lips. Armando's eyes met with the driver's eye from the mirror and he quickly averted his gaze. Armando was peering at Leonore. Undoubtedly she looked
He remembered how many days she spent crying and mourning over her brother's death and his heart ached for her. Just then she stirred in her sleep and subconsciously whispered. "Will Elpidio also come back?"She seemed to be in a dream state and didn't really realize when she had said that. She became still again and Armando sighed. She had him but didn't have a family anymore and he knew that was what hurt her the most. But he wanted to be her all now. Her family.And with that, he sent a text to Luca and Lorenzo telling them to meet him at a bar not too far away from Lorenzo's company. He wanted to talk to them about something important.Once the text was sent, he slipped his phone back into his pocket and went back to his room, carrying the sleeping beauty in his arms.The next day...Leonor walked out of the room, hurrying down the stairs. Her slippers hit the heels of her feet as she held the rail, trailing her hands on it. Armando was already downstairs when she got there. Arma
Armando walks over to the door and opens it to find Lorenzo there. "Hey. I came to check up on her." Lorenzo said and Armando nodded in understanding. He moves away for Lorenzo to come in and Leonor smiles upon seeing him. "Hey, Leonor.... you okay?" He asked."Yeah, I guess I'm fine. I just still have that ache in my leg and won't be able to move for a while but, I'm better." She said with a sigh."Good, good." He said and she could easily tell he was holding himself back from asking something. "What is it, Lorenzo?" She asked after watching him struggle for a while."Well..... about your brother." He said hesitantly. "It's fine. He made a mistake and I feel I've cried enough now. I'm still hurt whenever I think of him but, God knows best right?" She said and Lorenzo nodded fondly."You'll be okay," Lorenzo said stroking her hair. "Yeah, I will. I have Armando and you and Luca." She said with a smile. "Yes, you do."Armando was in the background watching all of this play out. And fo
He was followed by a squad of similarly garbed and armed men moving swiftly and purposefully to secure the area and confirm the dead. Armando's face was over her in a heartbeat. He looked over her with a cold analytical dispassion. But she never felt more loved or seen. She felt the pain then, burning in her leg. She began to scream."Hey!" He shouted. "She's been shot!"Leonore was safely stowed in the car as it sped away. Armando turned to face Luca then."I'm sorry." He said, pain thick in his voice."I could have died today. Everything would have been for nothing.""It was pretty fucking stupid to go off like that," Luca replied, a matter of fact. "We all knew it was a fucking trap."He turned to look at Armando."What does this girl have on you to make you so reckless? If we couldn't take out those snipers when we did you won't fucking be here! Do you understand that?" He was yelling now. Luca visibly forced himself to calm down."I know Luca," Armando said, collapsing to sit on th
" Where the fuck are you, fucking piece of shit.""Armando." Gastone's response came over the speaker, his voice coming through the whole complex."I have something you want. Give me what I want and we can both walk out of this place happier for it."The mall it seems was not as dead as it seemed. Gastone would have had a generator brought in to power the PA system. He'd had time to prepare this and not alone.This was an ambush.The first tough resolved out of the shadow of one of the huge columns supporting the upper levels and the glass roof three stories above spanning the courtyard. The dark storm clouds visible above occluding the moonlight, allowing only the infrequent glare of lightning to throw dancing shadows across the yard. It was out of these two other hulking forms that emerged from either flank."These fine gentlemen are here to make sure you're well-behaved..."Armando leveled his gun at the first thought opposite him and two Identical weapons seemed to spawn in the han
Now Armando and Brandon were staring at each other. Brandon was shaking, scared. Armando spoke, his voice calm but deadly. "I've let you go times and times before Brandon, because of our past. But not this time." Brandon knew he was in real trouble. He grabbed a gun and hid behind Leonor, pressing the gun to her head. "Now move, Armando, or I'll shoot her!" Armando looked at him, not worried at all. "Go ahead," he said.Leonor couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Armando!" she cried out, a mix of surprise and hurt in her voice. Brandon was angry and scared. "I'm not playing games! I'll do it!" Armando raised his own gun, pointing it right at Leonor. "Then do it, or I will," he said.Leonor was mad. Really mad. She used that anger to kick Brandon hard, right between his legs. He fell, crying out in pain. At that moment, Williams and the others barged in. They stopped, shocked at what they saw. "Master, forgive us for not being fast enough. Brandon had stationed a lot of men at th
Leonor sat on the cold floor, her mind racing. She had to get out of this place before she became a pawn in yet another one of these cruel games. She would never be used as Armando's weakness, she didn't want to play damsel in distress.She got up quietly and tiptoed to the door. Her hand was on the knob when it turned on its own, and the door swung open. The hooded man was standing there, his expression unreadable."Going somewhere?" he asked, blocking her path. Leonor took a step back, her heart pounding. "I... I was just looking for the bathroom," she lied.He didn't move. "The bathroom's not this way." She sighed, knowing she had to try another approach. She looked at him, really looked, and saw something in his eyes that didn't match the rough exterior. "You don't seem like the kind of guy who does this sort of thing," she said softly.He seemed taken aback. "What do you mean?" He asked. "I mean, you don't look like you fit in with the mafia, with criminals," Leonor pressed on,
