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
Sia turned to Leon, curiosity etched on her face. “Where are you taking me?” Leon flashed a playful grin while his eyes were sparkling with mischief. “Can’t I even take my girlfriend on a date?” She groaned while rolling her eyes at his enthusiastic use of the word “girlfriend.” As adorable as it was, hearing it in every sentence was starting to wear her down just a bit. He didn’t even call her by her name anymore, but the title felt both sweet and slightly overwhelming. After a short drive, Leon helped her into his car with excitement radiating from him. When they arrived at their destination, Sia was taken aback by the stunning setup. They were on a beautiful boat, the gentle waves lapping against the sides was creating a serene backdrop with a setting sun. She marveled at how he had managed to arrange such a perfect dinner date, just the two of them, far away from the world.They enjoyed a delightful meal together while laughter mingling with the scent of the ocean air. Each bi
At the Hart House breakfast table, the soft morning light filtered through the windows while casting a warm glow over the scene. Anne awoke early as her heart was light happy since her ids were at home and so she was eager to make breakfast. Usually, she di dnot cook but when aloof her family was at home, it gave her an opportunity to use her skills. As she entered the dining room, she was greeted by the sight of her sleepy son, Leon, standing in his lounge clothes and looking adorably disheveled.It was as if she was transported to twenty years ago. Without hesitation, he hugged her tightly while rubbing his face against her neck like a small child seeking comfort of his mother. Anne smiled realizing that he had spent the night here without her knowledge.In a soft voice, she asked, “Little Lion, I thought you went to your apartment.”Leon, still half-asleep, simply hummed in response. “Mommy, I am hungry,” he mumbled, his eyes barely open.Anne's heart swelled with affection as s
