The Marriage Contract Chapter 49
Leonard let out a shaky breath upon seeing Alexa asleep as he arrived. Driving back home, his head has been filled with a lot of thoughts.It hasn't exactly dawned on him about what he did to his wife until he let it all out to Sasha. It was like a burden slightly releasing him.It scared him, but he knows she's gonna find out eventually. What scared him the more is what will happen to her when she finds out. News like that could break her, and wouldn't be good for her condition.He walked and sat on his bed after pulling his jacket off.Alexa isn't gonna forgive him. She's gonna hate him, and he knows that. The dreams she's even having don't even help things. He could tell his wife is days or weeks away from finding out it was him she saw the day she had the accident.He brought his phone out of his pocket as it began ringing. It was Owen."Hey." He picked."I only called to inform you about the drugs that'll be passing our borders this week.""Seriously?"Owen nodded. "Yeah. He's st

Four days later.15th October. Friday."Boss.""Make sure you circle around her. Get rid of her guards, and bring her to me.""Should we be rough to her? She's heavily pregnant.""Do you have any conscience, Steve?"Steve shook his head. "I'll do what you want, boss.""Good, now be fast about it."Steve hung the call-up and looked at his men. "Two of you, go to the other side of the mall, we'll stay here. Once she's out, we attack."They all nodded, and go do as he ordered.In no time, their target came out. "Take it to the car, thank you." She told one of her guards."There are only four guards. It won't be hard. You guys attack, and we'll follow." Steve said over the ear pod."Roger that."They both came out of their hiding spot causing Alexa to look."Ma'am, get inside the car!" She suddenly heard making her heart begin to beat fast."Oh, God." She began walking more closer to the car as fast as her legs could carry her, but she was immediately cornered by Steve. "Boo!"Her heart s

Flashback. (18th August. Wednesday)LEONARD'S POV.I walked inside my father's office with a little smile on my face, since I was deeply happy with the news I got today, and the funny thing, twas more than one.The universe is really working in my favor."I told you not to come back here, Leonard." My dad told me, as I walked to where he sat on his office chair."I just came to give you some information," I told him."Hope it is the information I want.""Alexa is pregnant." I dropped not wanting to prolong it further.He tilted his head at me. "Pregnant?"I nodded. "Yeah. Surprise."He furrowed his brows at me. "She's awake?"I nodded.He narrowed his eyes at me expecting me to say more, and I do know what he wants me to say. "She doesn't remember anything, dad. She doesn't know how she got into the accident."He heaved a breath of relief. "What a very bad job you did, son."I looked away from him.He chuckled. "You know I didn't send you to get her pregnant, right?"I looked back at

Alexa woke up and groaned as she felt an ache in her back. She sighed looking around the unfamiliar place, her eyes still quite blurry."Hmm." She moaned as her back kept aching her. It made her breathing uneven."She's awake at last," Steve told Lion.Something settled on Alexa, causing her to stumble on realization. She was supposed to be heading home, but then she remembered...she looked around, her eyes becoming clear. She tried to talk, but something was stopping her. She tried to move, but something was equally stopping her. She felt her hands tied at the back.Her eyes widened, and she looked around at the unfamiliar people. She couldn't voice out anything.Lion and Steve stood up. "Boss she's awake." Lion said on the call.Owen didn't know what to do, although he knows Alexa doesn't know him, so he was safe, but the question is what Mr. Hodge will do about it. He can be as scary as his father.Alexa could tell what was happening. She was kidnapped, but in her condition, trying

16th October. Saturday.Leonard couldn't sleep all through the night seeing as his wife was not by his side. It bugged him to think about what they were putting her through, or how many consciences his father have left.The stupid, and useless guards he hired to protect her couldn't even do their jobs. His eyes on them felt like death was staring at all of them. They were scared."Where did you train? Aren't you supposed to be good at martial arts? How on earth did you let my wife slip away?" Leonard asked looking down on them as they knelt, his eyes filled with anger.One of them looked up at him. "It was unexpected. They just came out of nowhere."Leonard scoffed looking at him. "Isn't it part of your job to be always prepared for the unexpected? What kind of lame excuse..."He heard a car ride into his compound making him sigh. "It seems your boss has arrived."All of them sigh out of relief knowing they were slowly getting off the claws of Leonard Hodge.Leonard watched as their b

Sasha walked into the warehouse where Alexa was kept. She was looking tired, and weak. She turned towards Steve. "Has she been fed?"Steve shook his head. "No. She's refusing it."Sasha looked at Alexa who just stared at her. "Get me food for her, I'll try making her eat."Steve nodded and left.Sasha sighed wondering why her dad just kept her here. He could have found a different place with a room and a bed for her to lie on.That's another idea she's gonna have to give to him.Sasha walked and removed the cloth from her mouth. "I'm really sorry for the unkind treatment."Alexa gulped looking around her. "You're Leonard's sister, aren't you?"Sasha smiled and nodded. "One, and I'm hoping only."Alexa nodded and looked away. "I can't eat in this place, especially with the way I'm tied up like a criminal, or someone hard to fight against. As you can see, I'm harmless."Sasha nodded. "I know, but my dad can be really indifferent. I'll see what I can do about it, but for now, you have to

"Noooooo!!!!" Mr. Park yelled upon receiving the bad news. "How did this happen? You promised nothing would go wrong!!"Mr. Hodge sighed and looked at Lion. "Did you see anyone familiar to suspect about how this happened?"Owen narrowed his eyes remembering seeing Vincent Creo out the window. Although he didn't say it out because he knew it was another one of Mr. Hodge's plans which he didn't know about, but he was sure."I saw someone out the window," Owen informed.Mr. Hodge looked at him. "Who?""Vincent Creo. He was there. He brought the cops." Owen told them."You saw him?" Lion asked in surprise.Owen nodded. "When the cops attacked, and we were fighting back, I was sure I saw him out the window. William Creo's brother."Mr. Hodge looked away in thought. Rage pounded in him like a drumbeat. "That means William has been compromised."Mr. Park was brimming in hostility, and he scoffed at Mr. Hodge. "I was wrong to trust you. Because of you, I might not be safe here."Mr. Hodge loo

17th October. Sunday."Hello.""Leonard. Have you seen the breaking news?" Emily asked.Leonard nodded with a sigh. "Yeah. I'm watching it right now.""Why didn't we expect this? Of course, William could also be collateral damage."Leonard blinked. He expected it. He had a gut that his father could end up killing William, cause it was bound to happen. William got himself involved, so he should have been prepared for what could happen to him.There was no other way to hinder his father's plan. No other way to frustrate his dad."Leo. Are you there?"Leo immediately nodded. "Yeah. I'm here. I've decided to end things.""Seriously?" Emily asked in disbelief."I've obtained evidence enough to sentence my dad to life imprisonment. I don't want anyone dying again." Leo said truthfully."So how, no let me rephrase. When?""Alexa. The police are gonna be the ones to save my wife from my father. I'll choose a perfect day for that to happen, so stay alert."Emily nodded. "Yeah, but do we have w

The Marriage Contract Epilogue
The greatest shock Alexa received in all her life was when Leo knelt down on the ground with a ring in hand and ask the question she has never heard anyone ask her. "Will you marry me?"She was overwhelmed by that question. It was totally unexpected. Out of nowhere. It officially became one of the happiest days of her life.Her smile was broad and uncontrollable, and after saying yes, immediately after he stood up, she engulfed him in a hug.Their kids and friends just stood there happy since it was all planned by all of them.The wedding was not that grand, but it was perfect. The happy smiles on their face made things different from when they had their first.This time, there was love in their eyes. They were happy as they looked at each other.Back then, it was just pain, confusion, and different negative thoughts in their heads when they were about to join them together. There was just no smile on their faces no matter how much they wanted to force it.It's funny how different thi
The Marriage Contract 2-86
Throughout, the kids were restless since they have no idea what was going on. They haven't seen their mom and their dad since he saved them from the wicked men."I'm pretty sure everything is going to be fine," Joseph spoke out, shaking his head at their brooding expressions as he came out of the kitchen."Don't talk to us, Joseph." Damien shunned him in a bad mood.Joseph took a seat on the couch by their left. "I understand you guys detest me, but I'm sure you've understood why. I'm not a bad person, you know."Damien scoffed. "Whatever.""He's right." James chimed in, coming out of his room. He closed his door shut and walked closer to the kids. "He's also a victim." He made known, sitting down on the couch opposite Joseph.The kids kept quiet wanting him to talk further."He's a kid without parents. Homeless. He saw an opportunity and grabbed it. He's sorry for everything he did just because he was looking out for himself. He's also helped to save a lot of kids like Kara. The cops

Leo's eyes widened in shock and horror as he held his wife firmly from falling to the floor. "Oh, my God."Alexa was choking as she was finding it hard to breathe, blood spilling from her mouth and the part she got shot which was her back.Leo knelt on the ground with her in his arms still in shock at what happened. He couldn't believe it. His... His wife got shot. "Alexa." It came out with a shaky breath.Her breathing was heavy, she was finding it hard to even say anything to him."We need an ambulance." Leo's voice came out shaky once again, but the war was still going on."This shouldn't have happened." The boss's voice was filled with regret."I'm sorry, boss. She came in the way." Mason apologized.Leo sighted Harrison and his goon hiding and immediately knew they were the ones who shot his wife. He knew they were hiding, but he thought it was just to save themselves from being shot.Fury tore through him. He didn't wanna kill anyone, but he was not ready for that man to go scot

(November 3rd. Wednesday)Leo stopped his car and came out of it arriving at the place Harrison Lewis said they should meet. It was like an isolated express where people and cars don't really pass through.His eyes were fixated on the old man and the other guy standing next to him and behind them was their car.It was obvious the old man was Harrison Lewis and it made him realize he actually never met him til now."It's an honor to meet you, Leonard Hodge. I'm honest." Harrison said with a smile.Leo looked around the old man since there was just one thing on his mind and that was saving his precious kids."Where are my kids?" Leo asked really wanting to see them.Harrison nodded. "Yeah." He looked at Mason. "Bring them out."Mason nodded walked to the car and opened it. He urged the kids to come out which they immediately did since they saw their father.Leo's eyes softened as he saw his kids. He was in relief seeing as they were looking fine.As Aria was about to run to her dad, Mas

The boss looked around the whole room, nodding his head and showing how pleased he was with it. "I didn't know you bought a house here, Mason."Mason nodded. "Yes, boss. It was actually for a reason, though."The boss looked at him. "I'm thankful you came back, but I've been having this burning question. How did you know?"Mason sighed. "It's Carmen, boss.""Carmen? Don't understand.""You said I should trail her on which I did. I was shocked when I heard her speaking to Leo via voicemail about what she's done for him. She was...she was the traitor, boss."The boss blinked and stumbled back a little due to missing his steps. "No. No way."Mason nodded. "It shocked and angered me. It was through her I know of the raid."The boss let out a shaky breath, finding it unbelievable. "Can't believe this. Where's she now?"Mason looked away. "I had no choice.""No choice on what?" The boss asked inquisitively."My...my anger got the best of me, boss. I shot her on the spot." Mason dropped hopi
The Marriage Contract 2-82
Leonard's heart felt like it was put on a stake as he kept pacing on the porch of his house, looking worried and extremely restless.It's been hours since the mission to get his kids safe and sound, but he hasn't gotten anything. All he could get was a stupid voicemail from Carmen making him wonder how much senseless she can be.His phone began ringing making him stop in his tracks. He looked to see it was Emily and for some reason, he just felt there was bad news coming and he could only hope he was wrong."Emily..." He said after taking a calm breath. He heard her clear her throat making him sigh. "Don't tell me it's bad news.""I'm sorry, Leo. We had it all covered thinking everyone was where they were meant to be, but we were taken by surprise. Harrison Lewis and one other together with your kids escaped."Leo rubbed his head in frustration, feeling so annoyed and knowing the choice he was now left with. "We failed then. We lost our only chance.""Leo, there could be another way."

(NOVEMBER 2ND. WEDNESDAY.)"So tell me, Mason. Are you on her tail?" The boss asked over the phone.Mason nodded. "Yes, boss, but why? Why am I following her?"The boss shook his head. "Don't know. I just have a gut that she's up to something.""Something like what?"The boss sighed. "That girl has been calm lately. She doesn't come to me anymore...it's like she's creating an arm's length between us. She doesn't even talk about the anger she has toward the Hodges like she does then, so I'm having a wild feeling that something is not right with her.""And what do you think you'll get, boss?" Mason asked as he tailed Carmen carefully."Don't know. I feel she's sleeping with another man. She probably met someone to abandon me for and I won't condone that, because when I saved her, there was a pact between us."She's meant to be his if she wanted the whole world which is something he could provide for her."And what if she's betraying you, boss? What should I do?" Mason felt like asking.
The Marriage Contract 2-80
"Ring. Ring. Ring."Leo's phone began ringing cutting short a long conversation as he attempted to calm Alexa down, telling her everything was gonna be fine since she couldn't stop complaining and then sobbing and then crying, showing how sad she was that their kids weren't with them.He's also sad, but all he's gotta do without choice is try calming Alexa down.He sighed, picked up his phone from where he kept it and looked at the familiar number. It was Damon's. He blinked at it, definitely knowing it wasn't his son, but his enemy.A call he's been impatiently waiting for.He answered the call. "Harrison Lewis." It sounded more like an inquiry.Alexa gently sat up, her gaze fixated on Leo, looking curious.He heard the man chuckle. "Of course, you guys cracked that. Damn it's been so long since I've heard my name.""I know everything, Mr. Lewis. Yes, I cracked a lot, but what is it you really want? How stupidly far can you go, since after all, you started stupid?"Alexa let out a wo
The Marriage Contract 2-79
Carmen shook her head with a smile at the little kids in front of her. The boys just sat on the one bed inside the cage, quiet and sad, while the girl just lay down."So these are Leonard Hodge's little devils. I've heard so much."The boys looked up at her, recognizing her. She's Kara's mother. But they just looked away. No matter how strong they act, in the end, the reality of them being kidnapped, and taken from their parents were getting to them."Oh, look how sad you are." Carmen pouted at their facial expressions. "You are supposed to be tough, right?"Aria started sobbing obviously tired of what was happening. Missing her mom and dad. She doesn't know how long she can bear it.The heat due to lack of AC and the fear of eating their food that might be contaminated. Everything was so disgusting to her and it tired her. It felt like she was in jail. Now she knows why people don't like jail.Damon sighed as Aria's crying wasn't helping matters. He had to confess, that urge to also
