“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

    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.

    His voice dropped lower as he confessed, “Oh, Sia baby, I have dreamed of this every single day.” Leaning in, his lips found her neck, planting a trail of kisses that sent shivers cascading down her spine. Each kiss was deliberate, slow, and tantalizing as his lips explored the soft curves and bumps of her skin. He sucked and nipped gently, leaving her breathless and causing her to arch her back in excitement. His tongue darted out, tasting the warmth of her skin. The sensation was electric, making her clutch the bedsheet to steady herself. She was completely at his mercy, her body responding in ways she didn’t fully understand. Every touch was igniting a fire within her. He moved lower while his lips brushing the space between her breasts. Her hands instinctively found their way to his thick hair, tangling themselves in the silky strands as his touch consumed her entirely. He moved further down kissing his way down to her navel but stopped just right above her pussy area. H

    When they reached their room after dinner, his gaze fell on her. She was sitting on the stool in front of the mirror while trying to remove her earrings, but she was struggling. He walked closer to her and whispered, “May I?” She silently gave him permission. He gently swept her hair to one side and carefully removed her earrings. As he worked, his hands lingered on her shoulders and their eyes met in the mirror. A soft blush painted her cheeks. Her eyes, though tired, but sparkled with life. He softly made her stand while turning her to face him. Dipping his head, he kissed her lips tenderly. After a moment, he murmured, “In five years, I see myself kissing your soft lips every day.” He whispered against her lips, “You are so beautiful, Sia baby.” Then, he claimed her lips in another kiss which deeper and more consuming. As he kissed her, her entire body trembled with need for him. She wasn’t embarrassed by the way her body craved his touch, how every fiber of her being begged

    The lovebirds were truly basking in each other’s company. Leon had planned a perfect evening, starting with a romantic sunset walk along the beach as their feet were sinking into the soft sand as the waves kissed the shore. Later, they moved to a cozy candlelit dinner he had arranged just for her. The gentle glow of the candles was reflecting in her eyes as he sat in front of her. “Leon,” Sia’s soft voice broke the serenity as she called his name. “Yes?” he responded, his gaze meeting hers with warmth. “Let’s play a game,” she suggested, her lips curving into a playful smile. “Okay, which game are we playing?” Leon asked, tilting his head with interest. “Let’s play twenty questions,” Sia proposed. Leon chuckled. “Quite cliché, but fine,” he agreed. Since the moment felt too magical to let slip into silence, the game seemed like a fun way to keep the mood alive. She pouted in mock offense but pressed on, “Are you a sunrise or sunset person?” “Definitely a sunrise person

    “Sia?”“Hmm,” he murmured in reply, feeling his finger trailing along her shoulder. The rays of the sun bathed her body as they lay near the sea. They were on one of the private beaches in the Philippines, one of the most breathtaking places she had ever seen. For the past three days, they had been travelling. The first two days were filled with adventure, but today was a much-needed lazy day for both of them.“I think you need sunscreen,” Leon said, his voice low and teasing. “Hmm,” she replied, her eyes still closed. She felt him scooping sunscreen into his hands, the cool sensation was contrasting with the heat of his palms as he began smoothing it over her body. His touch lingered as he worked the lotion into her neck while gliding down her back, tracing every curve and dip with deliberate care. Then his hands moved lower, over her hips and along her legs. Just as she thought he was done, his hands reversed course and they have begun gliding upward with an unhurried sensuality. S

    After a few days of silence, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen. Leon had been patient, giving her the space he thought she needed to handle whatever was going on in her life. But as weeks turned into a month with no sign of her, he had had enough. He grabbed his phone and called her. She picked up just as it was about to go to voicemail. Her tired face appeared on the screen. “What’s up, little brother?” she asked, her tone lacking its usual energy. “Charlotte Hart, where the hell are you?” Leon snapped. “Somewhere on Earth. Why? What happened?” she replied nonchalantly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion. Leon’s frown deepened. “Do you know how frustrating you are? You told everyone you were painting, but this doesn’t look like your apartment, and you look like crap.” He paused, taking a closer look. Her hair was longer, browner, and wavy which was completely different from her usual style. His brows furrowed as something else caught his attention. “Wait a minute… are you

    Sia smiled widely at Abella and gave her an encouraging pat on the back. “I like it, girl,” she said with genuine warmth. Abella lowered her head, her voice tinged with embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I just… I made the plan, but they ditched me because Cade was interested in me. And, well, Leslie has a crush on him too. You know… the usual college drama.” Sia tilted her head sympathetically but kept her tone light. “I’m glad you ended up spending the evening with me instead. Those people made you cry, and they don’t deserve your energy. You should let them know you don’t care about what they think. You have got people who care about you, and tonight, we are going to have a lot of fun! You are in college, and there is no curfew.” Abella muttered with a small pout, “I still can’t drink until I’m 21.” Sia laughed. “I will show you how to have fun without needing a drop of alcohol. Trust me, tonight is going to be unforgettable.” And it was. The two spent the evening laughing, tal

    Sia had just wrapped up her work at the office when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she raised a brow in surprise. Softening her tone, she answered, “Hello?” “Hi, Sia,” came Abella’s slightly nervous voice. “Are you busy?” Sia glanced at the clock, noting the upcoming meetings on her schedule. But she brushed them aside and replied warmly, “Not at all. Just finished my work.” “Cool!” Abella sounded a little more at ease. After a brief pause, she asked hesitantly, “Would you like to go shopping with me?” Sia blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Abella was usually reserved and rarely expressed her wishes so openly. The invitation felt like a rare and meaningful step. “Of course,” Sia said, her voice full of encouragement. “When do you want to go?” “Now?” Abella suggested tentatively. “Perfect,” Sia agreed. “Where are you? I will come pick you up.” “I’m at my dorm. Can you come here?” “Absolutely,” Sia assured her. With that, they ended the call. Sia turned to

    After spending the entire night with Sia, Leon decided it was time to visit his parents, whom he hadn’t seen in two weeks. When he arrived, the house was lively as usual. Along with Nicholas and Anne, Rhys, Callum, Abella, and his grandparents, Ellora and Nikolai, were all gathered around the table. It was a joyous occasion for the family to be under the same roof. “Dad, can you take over for a month?” Leon asked, leaning against the doorframe. Well, if he had to be gone for over a month, he needed capable hands to look after his work. Who did he trust more than Nicholas Hart himself? Nicholas raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Do I look stupid to you?” Why on earth would he want to return to that cold office building? He recalled the time when the kids were young and he would find all the opportunity to not go to work. He had waited a lot for his retirement. There was no way, he was going back to work! “It’s just a month,” Leon persisted, his tone almost pleading. Nich

    “Leon?” Sia’s voice trembled with surprise and excitement as she spotted him standing at the door of her study. Without hesitation, she ran to him while wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “You heartless man! You went on a business trip for a whole week! Did you even miss me?” “I’m sorry, Sia baby. I’m a bad man,” he murmured, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. “I’m sorry. Next time, I’ will take you with me.” She pouted, muttering, “What would I even do there?” He smiled, his voice soft and affectionate. “Stay with me all day. Who cares what place or task it is, as long as we are together.” Her lips curled into a contented smile and she nodded, looking every bit like a satisfied child who had just been given her favorite treat. “I love you, Leon,” she whispered. The words were rare and reserved for moments that carried her true and raw emotions. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I love you more, Sia baby.” Without another word, Leon scooped her i
