Leonor tried calling him over and over again after he had sent that text but he didn't pick up; it seemed like he was ghosting her now. She angrily dropped her phone on the bed and sat there holding in all the anger, pain, and emotions that came back to her all at once.Leonor paced back and forth in her room, fuming with anger. She had to find a way to leave, but how? Armando was always so controlling; it was suffocating. She sat on her bed, trying to think of a plan.Downstairs, Armando was trying to shake off the unsettling feeling from the letter. He knew it was a warning, but from whom? It could be any of his rivals. Or it could be the one who had entered the mansion even with its tight security. He brought out his phone and took a picture of the letter, sending it to Max, Luca, and Lorenzo. He crumpled the letter in his hand afterward, feeling the anger rise within him. He had to stay focused. Whoever sent this message was trying to rattle him, and he couldn't afford to lose hi
"It does matter," Armando said firmly. "You need to get out more. It's not good for you to stay in here all the time."Leonor looked up, surprised. "You mean it?""Yes," Armando said. "We'll arrange for you to go out. But you'll have some of my men with you for protection." Leonor smiled for the first time in days. "Thank you."Armando nodded. "Now can you come down with me? I also haven't had dinner yet.""Hmmmm so it was all just to deceive me into eating." She scoffed. "Call it a bribe. You join me to have dinner and then you can go out and have fun tomorrow. With..... my black card."She gazed up at him feeling butterflies appear at the pit of her stomach at how much he was willing to do just to make her eat. She felt her face heat up as she nodded. "Good, let's go down now. He told her before leaving the room knowing she'd also come down soon. Maybe Gregg was right. Maybe Leonor did need a change of scenery.Armando made his way to the dining table and she joined him shortly aft
Leonor had no idea where it came from, but she found herself parting lips from him again.“Don't resist anymore” she whispered almost breathless and kissed him back. Armando rolled them comfortably onto the bed and they switched positions. She was now straddling him, her lips never parting his. He made that move deliberately knowing that if he were to keep being above her then he would most definitely go all the way without caring. But with her in charge, he might be able to snap out better.At least that's what he hoped, but his hopes ran out the door when she suddenly pressed down on him with her feminine area, feeling his hard manhood "Leonor, please stop me, or I won't restrain myself” his voice said in a pleading tone, and he latched his mouth on her neck, licking and sucking on her tender skin like a starved animal.“Armando” she called feeling drenched in pure ecstasy. What does he mean by stopping him? How could she stop him when he made her feel this good? This alien feeling
The sun was bright and up in the sky, smiling down at the moving grey sports car zooming down the mountain. Leonor sat quietly in the back seat of the gray sports car. Gregg was driving, and two other men sat in the front as well. She stared out the window, feeling the sun warm her face. She had to get out of Armando's mansion, even if it was just for a little while."Where do you want to go?" Gregg asked, glancing at her in the rearview mirror."I'd like to go to the market," Leonor said with a simple smile to hide her nervousness.Gregg raised an eyebrow. "The market? Are you sure?""Yes, it's been a while since I bought anything for myself," she replied with a forced smile."Alright, but I'm coming with you," Gregg said firmly. Leonor quickly shook her head. "No, it's fine. You can wait in the car and watch me. I won't go far." she replied a bit too quickly."How do you intend to pay for what you purchased then? Also, how do you intend to carry it? Isn't that a bit too much on you?
"Good morning, Miss Leonor.” Gregg greeted respectfully and she acknowledged with a nod. “ Good morning, Miss Leonor.” one of the girls who was also present in the dining, cleaning up, greeted Leonor while she took her seat at the dining.Soon enough, Armando also entered and they both greeted him respectfully. There was a breakfast spread and Leonor wanted to try out everything. She was strangely feeling famished right now. Must be because she was excited to be going to Armando's company for the first time ever.Williams also entered the dining about 10 minutes later and greeted us both respectfully. “Are you done with it?” Armando asked him and he nodded affirmatively. “ Should we take down the pictures, Master Armando?” Williams suggested and Armando shook his head negatively.“ Let it be, Williams. You both should focus on making sure the wedding is a success.” He calmly spoke as he took a sip of his coffee while he stared down at his tablet.“ The pictures are causing a buzz all

Leonor was starting to get quite bored, she knew she promised to be good, but it was so fucking boring in his office now, and he had been gone for about an hour.She got off the couch and walked over to his desk. She opened his laptop, feeling excited to see his wallpaper. Blank. Of course.She sighed as she tried to open it just to find there was a password. “What could be his password….” she murmured to herself. She was bored so she decided to just type in a few random codes and see if she got lucky.Wrong.Of course, it is. She smiled as she tried putting in Armando's full name. Wrong.She had tried many times over and over again but couldn't get in so, she decided to just play around and typed in; Leonor Ember Torres. Unlocked.Wait..... What? She was so surprised that she blinked multiple times to understand what just happened. She was just about to check it out when some men came into the office. She immediately shut down the laptop and looked back up at them like she was just c
Leonor’s heart pounded hard against her rib cage as she followed Luca down the narrow hallway. The sound of music was even fiercer as they walked further. She kept wondering What could be wrong with Lorenzo? Why were Armando and Luca acting so secretive?Luca stopped at a door marked “VIP” and walked in with her. There were numerous men there, with women doing all the uncensored things that should be censored. There were drugs spiraled everywhere and guns too. But Lorenzo wasn't there with them. “Where's Lorenzo, " Luca asked one of the girls.“He's at VIP 6. She's lucky, " the girl gave him a seductive wink that made my tummy flip. They walked away from the lounge with Leonor feeling uncomfortable with how many gazes were on her. They finally got to the door and Luca knocked softly. There was no response. He knocked again, louder this time. Lewd noises and muffled groans were coming from there, but the music prevented the two of them from hearing it.“Lorenzo, it’s Luca. Open up,” h
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,
