Leena's POV

I couldn't take in everything that was happening at the same time.

“So, what did you say again?” I asked, biting my lips.

It wasn't like I didn't hear him at first but I was shocked.

“We… we are dating, sis.” Kelvin spilled bluntly with an adorable smile on his face as he squeezed Ashley's hand on the table.

“I know this is not the right question to ask but how did it happen?” I asked, controlling my emotions.

“The last time I remembered, Ashley left the States when she was still five or so. All connections broke off.” I rambled with words nervously.

“Umm… I became a transferred student into his university and that was how we met.” Ashley informed me shyly.

“Wow.” I gasped.

“Yeah, I couldn't believe I would meet her again. The short time we spent during childhood was fun.” Kelvin began.

“We were both single and we decided to try it out,” Kelvin added confidently.

I hadn't seen him so excited and relieved for a while.

Like, he had seen his destination. That was the whole lo

    James’ POV“I guess you are calling to inform me of good news?” I said as soon as I picked up the call.“My apologies, boss,” I already knew what he wanted to say but I held myself not to end the call because I was so annoyed.“What is it this time?” I exhaled heavily.“We tried our best to track Mrs. Leena down and also find her last location but it has been inevitable to find her current location.” He explained meticulously over the phone.“You know you could just say, you missed her rather than all these unnecessary explanations.” I shunned him in annoyance.“My apologies, boss. We will try again.” He said sadly.“If she is not active, maybe she really wants peace out of this mess. But then, what about her Lackey?” I asked anxiously.“Who are you talking about boss?” He questioned courteously.“Mr. Sean, where is he, and what is his current location?” I questioned him seriously.“I will have to check and get back to you, boss.” He informed me.“Sure.

I'm so happy.” He said with a sharp nod and I smirked.We fell shut again, staring at each other affectionately as our heads started moving.He made th

It was hectic for my brother and I since the Martins didn't want to adopt him.” I explained to him meticulously.“I'm really sorry about your past

They also need to rest.” I paused.“Then, promise me that you will be fine and call me if there's a problem.” He said, raising an anxious brow.“Sure, I will call you,” I assured him with a bright smile and he retaliated.“Where are they?” That was the sta

As for his father, we just have to be smart when dealing with him.” He advised me calmly and I nodded my head.“Even if I will have to use my last resort, I will do it to make sure my children are protected,” I said vividly, staring at the blank wall.There was a brief pause between us as he looked at me.“Hope you are okay.” He asked, raising a brow.“Yeah, I'm good.

If that's what you want, no problem.” I paused and my eyes wandered around the living room after we walked in.“And where are my boys?” I asked, curling my lips.“Did you check your time at all?” He raised a mocking brow and I gradually checked my wristwatch.“Oops!” I closed my eyes and he chuckled.It was almost midnight.“So, what happened?” He sat down, patting the armchair for me to join him which I did.“Lawrence shared some

How did something like this happen to both of them?” Leena's father asked anxiously as anxiety lingered in his eyes. “That shouldn't be our problem now.” Sean's father cried out. “What do you mean?” Leena's mother stared at him intently. “Only Sean's body was found at the explosion scene.” He paused. “Leena…. Leena…” He continued stuttering. “What are you implying?” Leena's father's lips started trembling. “Leena's body wasn't found.” Sean's mother spilled bluntly and the latter gasped in shock. It felt like they were electrocuted as they didn't speak or move for minutes. “Leena!!! How? Why?” Leena's mother wailed as she rambled with several questions. “We don't know. Sean barely

Is something going on?” He asked anxiously, raising a brow. “Everything is fine.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for everything. From beginning till the end, I truly appreciate it.” I said, forcing out a smile. “Thanks for trusting me.” He said courteously with a short bow. “Did you bring the car and prepare all that I told you to?” I asked him impatiently and he sighed. “I can't believe I did something like this.” He paused. “I trust you are sending this over to someone else, if not, I will blame myself forever if something happens to you.” He said sadly and I smirked. “I'm just trying to set things the way they were in the past.

Where is James?” I fired at him anxiously. “He is not around at the moment.” He said, lowering his face to the ground and I knew he was lying. “I know that brat is in there. James! James! James!” I started banging at the gate again in anger. “Open this gate and let me in!” I barked at his face. “I'm sorry but I was asked not to open the gate for you.” He said randomly. “Harry, your boss is doing something evil! He is ruining my family. Will you still try to protect him till the end?” I asked him, raising a brow and he shook his head. “Please, leave Mrs. Sean.” He said coldly. “I can't believe you.

    Leena's POV “James! James, you bastard! Come out here and atone for your sins!” I screamed while banging the gate. This had been going on for more than two hours yet he wasn't in sight. Was he ignoring me? He ruined Sean. He ruined my family and gave us sleepless nights. Why was he so wicked? “How did we get here?” I cried out with all my veins showing through my neck as I collapsed to the ground. As my eyes closed, old memories rushed through like adrenaline. I couldn't control or help it as I cried profusely. Sharp Flashback - “You're here.” He walked confidently to my corner and handed me a bunch of roses. I smiled. “Wow, thank you.” I gushed. “Come with me.” I took his hand as he walked me up to the round table. My eyes met with the plate on the table, a small cupcake was in the center and the chef designed a love shape around it. At the sides of the shape, there was a short note. “Be Mine Forever.” I was taken aback, flustered, and shocked. “James…’’ I trailed of

He is lying!” I couldn't control my emotions as I yelled at the police officer in anger. “What do you mean?” He scoffed. “I know the man I married. James would and will never have any twins!” I said seriously. “But he showed us evidence and everything. He also had an alibi that made it hard for us to point him as the victim.” He rashly explained to me. “Am I blind or something? How come for so many years when I was married to him, I never heard of or seen his so-called twin brother? Why are you falling for these lies? I mean, you can even ask around to know if this is true!” I rambled with words in annoyance, firing several questions at them. “We are sorry, Mrs. Sean. We have to follow this case slowly. Besides, he has good connections and I'm afraid of losing my job.” He said skeptically and I smirked. “What? So, you are trying to save your head rather than bringing justice to me?

I told you not to insert bullets in the guns as we are only going to scare them!” I reminded them in disgust. “We are sorry boss but…” they trailed off when the door of the warehouse made a loud noise. My father approached us with a deep mischievous laugh. “I told them to do so.” He spilled bluntly and my jaw dropped. “What?” It was too hard to believe and the only way to protect my emotion was to act clueless. “I told them to pull the trigger if Leena or her so-called husband refused to hand over my grandchildren.” He informed me seriously and I scoffed in disbelief. “Father!” I cried out sadly as a big frown took residence on my face. “What?” He gave me a scornful look. “We can't afford to hurt anyone or play dirty.” I reminded him seriously. “This is my g

Isn't it taking too long?” Her mother panicked.“It is. It is but I can't barge in, can I?” I raised an anxious brow.“How did this happen? You were impatient over the phone so we didn't get the full details.” Her father's voice came up, staring at me.“We were at home, thinking about how to tighten our safety since I wasn't comfortable with the kidnap case.” I began.“I was shocked when I heard he had broken the mansion gate with his men.” I sighed heavily.“Everything happened so fast and it was only the sound of the gun that brought me back to earth,” I explained meticulously and they shook their heads in disbelief.“That brat has grown so bold!” Her mother gnashed her teeth.“He pushed my daughter to this state, does he thin
