“Why are you all ganging up on me?” Leon asked, feeling cornered as his mother sat on one side and his grandmother on the other. Meanwhile, his father, grandfather, and siblings acted oblivious and they were clearly avoiding his plea for help.“We are not asking you to marry her,” Anne reassured him. “Yes, your mom is right,” Ellora chimed in. “Leon, my dear grandchild, you mean the world to us. We just want you to meet more people. If you meet her and decide she is not for you, that’s fine. But at least give her a chance with an open mind. We are only concerned about you.”Leon scanned the room as he was hoping for some rescue but everyone seemed suddenly preoccupied. They were pretending not to notice his predicament. “Is she another rich brat?” Leon asked, raising an eyebrow skeptically.“Of course not,” Ellora replied, shaking her head. “Her parents are from California and they are both doctors and she works as a lawyer at a firm in New York. Her name is Sarah Lewis. She is twen
The Day of the DateLeon walked into the restaurant, followed by two young men who were clearly not going to leave his side. He was hatring every idea of this blind date scenario he was stuck in. he was one of the powerful men on the earth but he was being forced into something by two women! Alas, those two women happened to be his mother and grandmother. Why did he stayed at home for that many days? He knew that they would emotionally manipulate him to do something that they wanted but he did not. In the end, those two succeed. “Are you going to come inside too?” he asked, glancing back at the twins who were following two women’s ordersCallum who was the more serious of the twins, replied, “What if you decide to run away from here?”Leon sighed, rolling his eyes. An idea struck him as he said, “Callum, how about this? I will sponsor your entire project, not just a lab, but all of them.” He pulled out his black card while extending it toward Rhys. “Here, take it. You don’t even n
The twins grinned at each other as the excitement lit up their faces as they watched the drama unfold from a distance. They took pictures of the scene and quickly sent them to their sibling group chat.Coco: Where are you guys?Coco: Is this picture real?Rhys: Absolutely! Leon has a girlfriend! I am going to tell Mom and Dad.Coco’s eyes widened in panic.Coco: NO!!! Leon will kill us! Don’t do anything and just pretend you didn’t see anything!Rhys chuckled, clearly enjoying the situation.Rhys: But this is so interesting! Our brother is not asexual, he actually likes women! Hahaha! Isn’t this big news?Coco shook her head, knowing Rhys loved drama way too much. She decided to tag Callum in the group chat, hoping he could help keep things under control.Coco: Callum, you need to keep an eye on Sarah Lewis so she doesn’t cause any trouble. We can't let this news get to Mom and Dad. And don’t let anyone know about the woman with Leon. Keep it confidential. A moment later, Callum sent
When Sia came out of the meeting room, she expected to see Callum waiting, but instead, it was Leon. She tried to walk past him, but as soon as the others left, he stepped in front of her.“Let’s talk,” Leon said firmly.This man… what made him think that she would give him face? Huh! “What is there to talk about?” Sia shot back. “You have your own life, and I have mine. You even have a girlfriend now…”Leon interrupted, “Sia, Sarah was never my girlfriend.”She scoffed. “Oh, you remember her name but still insist she wasn’t your girlfriend. That’s rich.”Leon sighed. “She is just someone my mom and grandma set me up with.”Sia looked away, frustrated. “Why are you telling me all this, Leon? What difference does it make? We are practically strangers now. You can go on dates with anyone you want. Sarah can be your girlfriend; you can even marry her one day and have kids with her. Who am I to say anything?”Leon looked around and noticed Rhys and Callum standing a bit farther away. Rhy
After a simple meal, Leon asked, “Shall I drop you home?”Sia raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile on her lips. “So, you can kidnap me again?”He scratched his head, a sheepish look crossing his face. “I’m sorry.”Now that he thinks that he had kidnapped this woman, he felt stupid and impulsive. Yet, he did not think that it wad wrong of him to kidnap him. If he had not hidden her away, would she have even beared to look at him? No. They would never be comfortable with each other like right now. She gasped in mock disbelief. “Are you seriously apologizing? I never thought I wouldd live to see this day.”“Well…” he started, but she rolled her eyes.“I’m leaving. Good night, Leon.” She turned to walk away. She was not going to stay with him for long. When she does not leave, things start sitting inside her. She did not want to get too comfortable with him. Why was she breaking down all the walls that she had build? He could only nod, “Good night, Sia.”Just as she reached the door, she
Sia was in her office when a force of nature barged in, knocking down all the walls and fences. “Sia!!!!” Charlotte yelled, bursting through the door like a whirlwind. Sia looked up and found Charlotte grinning at her but. And a bad premonition brewed in the pit of her stomach. This girl was up to no good. She could sense it from here. “I’m busy... I have a meeting in ten minutes…” Sia tried to protest. She knew that Charlotte had planned an entire day and was here to take Sia out to play. Charlotte shot a glance back at Kate, who stood there with a knowing smile. “Miss Swift, all your meetings today were canceled on the clients' side. So, it just happens that your schedule is wide open today.”Sia shot Kate a look, but the girl kept her gaze steady and her smile even steadier. This look was too infuriating for Sia today. “Who signs your paycheck, Kate?” Sia asked, raising an eyebrow.“For your, mine, and the whole office's well-being, we would like to take care of your mental hea
As the words he had dreamed of hearing finally reached his ears, Leon's world seemed to halt. His heart raced while breath caught in his chest. For a mone,t he felt as if he had died and came back to life. Slowly, he broke their embrace as his gaze dropped to meet the woman standing before him. She was tearful yet smiling but her eyes were filled with the same emotions that surged within him. Oh god, they were in love. They finally confessed their love for each other. It took them more than a decade to live this momet. Before either of them could process the moment, Leon leaned forward and pressed his lips softly to hers. The kiss was gentle yet everything as it was etched on their hearts and souls. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a whisper, filled with a certainty. “I love you, Sia.”This love.. She had no idea how long he had loved her. It was her. Only her. Who could move his heart. No one else has the power to move his heart. Her eyes widened, breaking free from th
“Mr. Smith, is everything alright?” one of his big bosses asked, noticing his distraction. Archie forced a polite smile and shook his head. “It is nothing. I just thought I saw someone I knew.” His voice held a trace of nostalgia, though. How could it possibly be her? She was the type to be wandering around the world, rarely settling in one place for more than a week. She was certainly not one to stick around a quiet corner café.As they continued down the sidewalk, another man in the group came to a stop as he was fixed by the same spectacle where the man who had hoisted his laughing girlfriend into the air. The sunlight framed her features as she laughed, her beauty so striking that it was almost ethereal, like a goddess who had stepped into the earthly realm for just a moment. Who was she? He couldn’t shake the feeling of recognition, yet he couldn’t place her. There was a strange familiarity in her smile that tugged at his memory, lingering with a sense of something almost forg
