Rocky screeched his car to a halt in front of Chillz, the bar he and his friends frequented. He got out of the car, threw his keys to the waiting valet, and walked the dark halls until he reached the second floor that houses the VIP lounges. Rocky and his friends co-owned the bar. It was newly built and boasts an inviting, comfy, and relaxing vibe. There Rocky was greeted by Kade when he walked in the door.“What took you so long?” Kade whispered. He looked harassed. “We sent our parents to the airport and I drove Leigh back home.” He replied before checking the center of the room where the mini-bar was set up, and a woman slumped on it.“Where’s Rocky? Tell him I won’t leave unless he fetches me.” Regina slurred in her drunkenness.Rocky whispered again to Kade, eyes that had grown steely fixed on Regina. “
He panicked. Wild thoughts ran around his head.Did Regina get to Leigh that fast prompting Leigh to run away?He was frantic.He forced himself to think straight. He could not find Leigh if he was panicking like this. And so, he took a deep breath, trying to wrack his brain as to where she might have been.He ran towards the entertainment room, not caring about his state of undress. Leigh loved to watch television before going to bed. Maybe she dozed off inside the entertainment room.He reached the room fast, flung the door wide open, and switched the lights on. Still, he found no trace of Leigh.He went back to his room to get his phone to call Arthur, his head of security.“Did the bodyguard outside say anything about her leaving the house?” He asked in a rush, holding his breath while waiting for the answer on the other line.Arthur radioed his man who
When Leigh knocked on her old dorm room, she was trembling all over. The likelihood of her being pregnant left her badly shaken.“Leigh, what is wrong?” Sam took one look at her pale face and thought the worst. She opened the door wide to let Leigh in.“Did Rocky hurt you? Did Regina do something?” Sam questioned, closing the door and following behind Leigh.Leigh waved her hand dismissively. “No. It’s not that, but it was something bigger that could affect my entire life.”Sam watched as Leigh plopped down to her old bed while she hurried to the personal refrigerator to get her best friend water to drink.
“What are you gawking at? Call Rocky and tell him what happened..” Sam barked the order at a visibly shaken Regina. They all saw blood drenching the white cotton skirt Leigh wore, and they were all panicking. “Are you alright?” Sam asked the conscious Leigh. She checked Leigh’s head and found a bump in her head. They were attracting a small crowd. A bystander called 911 which arrived a few minutes later. Sam was unsure who called Rocky, but he came along with his friends just when the medic was about to lift Leigh into the stretcher. “What happened?” He asked Sam, who hovered over Leigh while the paramedics checked for other injuries. “She fell on the stairs and bumped her head.” Rocky looked at Leigh’s face, gently brushed the area near the bump with his fingers, and pulled at the strands plastered on her face. “Rocky…” Sam hesitated. “What? Rocky absent-mindedly asked, his eyes never leaving Leigh’s. “She has blood in her skirt.” Sam saw the sudden tensi
"Oh my god!" Sam could not help cursing when she saw something in her news feed. Her chest rose and fell heavily in time for her heartbeat, her fingers busy scrolling down her phone to check on the comments. And every time she reads one comment, she would start sighing and tsking. Is this for real? She ran toward Leigh's bed, showed her what she saw, and together they read Regina Clark's open letter to her fans and followers. To my dear followers and friends, I know that it’s unusual for me to write an open letter, but the pain in my heart threatens to eat me whole. I am deeply saddened because I feel that my life is falling in shambles right before my eyes. I don’t know what happened. In the past months, you saw me posting about my boyfriend, Rocky Bolton. He was the love of my life not because of his family's wealth but because he made me feel things I have not felt with anyone else. I imagined a blissful life with him, the two of us growing together. I know I am
"Hello!" Rocky barked when he answered the phone. He was not in the good mood right after the argument with Leigh.The expression on his face slowly changed from stony to relieved while he listened to the other party on the line. Finally, he has something against Regina Clark without making Leigh involved. He dropped the call and almost ran to his car, to the astonishment of his clueless friends. They all raced toward him. “Where are you going?” Matt asked when he caught up with Rocky. “I am meeting Professor Wickers. He now has something that could pin Regina and take her out of my life for good.”Kade heard the tail-end of their conversation. “Finally! Now, Leigh wouldn’t be bashed and suspected of stealing you from your “fake girlfriend.” He said sarcastically, but Rocky failed to notice as he was in a hurry. He met with Prof. Wickers at the Chillz. The establishment was still closed, but he already alerted the manager he was expecting a visitor. When he reached the VIP
DIVORCE.Rocky stared at the documents in his hands like they were vapid vermin. He could not fathom how everything turned out like this.He looked straight into Adam Micheals’ eyes, his expression challenging the older man.“And what if I don’t?”Outwardly, Rocky looked menacing, but he was crushing inside. He did not know how his day had gone from triumph to worse in a matter of less than an hour.Leigh’s father stared back at him, an equally challenging expression covering the older man’s face. To Rocky, he looked cold and resolute nothing Rocky would say could change his mind. He knew Adam Michaels most of his life and this is the first time they were at odds with each other.Adam sighed, crossing his arms over his chest, taking in a relaxed stance, appearing too confident for Rocky’s peace of mind.“You still need to
Rocky did not know how long he sat there after Leigh’s father left. He was staring off into space, wondering what had happened. He felt a numbing pain in his chest while their conversation played back in his head. “What happened?” Kade asked clueless when they found Rocky alone in Leigh's room. “Where is Leigh?” Rocky shook his head. "She left." He said, forcing the words out of his lips. “Oh, man! I am sorry.” Matt said, clapping him on the back before joining him on the floor. The other friends followed suit until all of them were on the floor, knees raised and their backs leaning on the wall. “What is going to happen now?” Sean asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. Their faces show their worry when Rocky would not answer. His face looked distant. His friends looked at each other, unsure how to deal with this version of their friend. Rocky looked so lost. He was with them but not with them. A nurse poked her head in, and they all turned in her direc

It was a glorious day. It was a Sunday, his grand wedding day!After Leigh agreed to marry him again, they ran back to the other house to tell everyone. They were greeted with congratulations, hugs, kisses, and warm pats on the back.“I want us to be married right away,” Rocky told their parents, and Leigh agreed. She does not need a grand wedding. She only needed Rocky, Axel, their families, and friends to be at the wedding. Her father agreed because he wanted to leave as early as possible with her mom for their tour. It was Rocky’s mother who objected. “I wanted a grand wedding, Rocky.”While the parents argued and discussed the wedding, Rocky dragged her to her feet. They slipped out of the house without their parents noticing. “Where are we going?” She asked, confused when he bundled her into his waiting car. “Let them plan a grand wedding, but I want to marry you now. I can’t wait. I want you to wear my ring on your finger when I make love to you for the first time after f
“Aw, Axel, my man!” Rocky groaned before nuzzling her neck to cover his red-from-arousal face. Leigh giggled, tickled as his breath fanned her skin. Axel chose that moment to swing on his father’s back and ride him like a horse. They almost toppled over to the bed, pressing Leigh if not for Rocky’s quick thinking. He braced his hand on the bed for support, allowing Leigh to scoot farther from the two. She laughed when he saw Rocky’s insufferable look but knew he was faking it. He loves playing with his son. She blew him a kiss, and he caught it in the air before placing his hand on his lips, making smooching sounds that had her double up in laughter. In the short time they were together, Leigh found out about Rocky’s playful side, something that surprised her. He used to tease her, sparking her anger that would later explode into verbal fights. She realized Rocky did not know how to treat her back then. He was unsure of her feelings as she was unsure of him. But when the
Stepping out of her father's office, they saw Axel waiting at the visitor’s lounge with Gemma, her father’s secretary. Everyone in her father’s office was surprised when Axel shouted, “Mommy!” Axel was like a human dynamo. He hurled himself at Leigh, but when Leigh caught him, he squirmed and launched himself at his father next.“Daddy!” Rocky Bolton smiled, snagging his son mid-air to catch him and swing him up to ride his shoulders. “Who were you with?” “Grandma,” Axel said.Then, Rocky pulled Leigh close. Together, they walked out of Adam Michaels's floor. When they passed by employees, Leigh could not help tensing up, feeling shy all of a sudden. She was reminded of the spectacle she made at the facade of the building. By now, she was sure everybody already knew about her and Rocky Bolton especially since her son took after his father a lot. Everyone who sees them together would not mistake the connection. On the other hand, Rocky had a different interpretation of the cu
Adam Michaels looked like he was ready to throw a fit.He was flushed red in anger.His strides were long and swift, with hands clenched to the sides while Leigh, Rocky, and Sam followed him.They invited curious stares, looking like a mini-parade on their way to the elevator bay, except everyone steered clear of them. The murderous look on Adam Michaels’ face was enough to scare people away.They rode the elevator with Adam bringing the front while his daughter Leigh, Rocky, and Sam followed like meek children who got into trouble and were awaiting punishment at the principal’s office.They stopped on his floor. His secretary was shocked to see him followed by his daughter, a man she presumed to be the infamous Rocky Bolton because she had been tipped earlier about the scuffle at the entrance, and Sam Adams.Mr. Michaels, just when he was about to enter his room, changed his mind at the last s
“Where have you been?” Rocky slowed down upon hearing the familiar voice of his mother.A smile broke his lips when he saw his parents sitting on the L-shaped couch in the living room, waiting for him.“Mom, dad. What brought you here?” He asked, surprised at the unexpected arrival of his parents. It had been too long since he last saw them.“Are you just going in? Where have you been?”Evelyn Bolton took a long look at her son and knew Rocky had spent the night elsewhere. She walked over to him, suspiciously taking a whiff of his neck.“No trace of alcohol. Hmm.” 
Rocky drove fast, pressing on the throttle to accelerate their speed upon learning from Leigh that Axel was crying. “Did something happen?” He asked worriedly, thinking his son needs to see a doctor. Leigh frowned absently at him. “No. He woke up and did not find me there.” Rocky covered her hand with his. Leigh sounded guilty. He, too, felt partially guilty that they had to leave Axel, but not about the talk. They needed that talk. In no time, they reached the Michaels' home. Before Rocky could turn the engine off, the door to the passenger side opened, and Leigh got out. She rushed back to see Axel and stopped when she found her son huddled in the corner of the plant box, bawling his eyes out. Something twitched inside as guilt and shame washed over her. A mother can't help feeling that way because, for a mom, a child's welfare will always come first. “Where did you go?” Adam Michaels cried when she gathered Axel in her arms and hoisted him up. Rocky was hot on her he
They were both panting when they both came up for air. Leigh looked down to see Rocky’s head thrown back and shutting his eyes as he let his face ride her orga*m.It was a huge turn-on. Leigh found her hands fisting Rocky's glorious ink-black hair to drag his face up her body. His lips made a teasing line from the apex of her thighs up to her chest. He nuzzled her neck before his lips finally landed on hers for an ardent kiss. “I love you.” Rocky breathed.Leigh purred her contentment before pushing him off her, reversing their roles. The declaration of love awakens the aggressor in her. She attacked his lips as the predator who wanted to give him full service. Rocky saw her intent, eyes blazing hot coals, and declined the offer. “No.”“But, you haven’t…” Leigh said, pointing to his hard c*ck that needed instant gratification and release. Rocky quickly covered himself before giving Leigh her nightie, undie, and terry cloth robe.“What the h*ll, Rocky? Why are you denying m
“What did you do, man?” Kade was already waiting in his office when he arrived. Rocky plopped on the couch next to Kade and tiredly leaned his head on its back. “I am desperate, man. The sooner I get my wife and son, the better for my peace of mind.” “But you are doing it all wrong. You are inviting trouble from Michaels by doing this. And look!” Kade showed him a viral post an hour ago. It was him! People are speculating, eagerly wanting to know the mystery that shrouded the entire event. Their curiosity whetted. They started asking questions as to why a well-known businessman like Rocky Bolton would appear in front of Michaels's building. “Some people think you are pulling a stunt like this as a business strategy. You wanted to gain leverage for your contracts.” Kade added, sounding concerned. Rocky shook his head, rubbing his hands through his hair in frustration. “I am at my wit's end, Kade. If I do not act right away Leigh and Axel might be taken away in a fl
