"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

Three days later.20th October. Wednesday.Mr. Hodge paced around the porch of his hidden mansion, thoughts gone completely wild in his brain. He could tell something bad was about to happen. He's been failing and kept failing nonstop.Randolph is in jail, now Steve. All the money, and clients he has lost, not to talk about the assets in his plans whom he killed to protect himself.Now there's little help coming in, and even those helps are having cold feet, and killing them is no longer an option. He needs to withdraw. He can't even believe he's getting to the decision to withdraw.After everything. All the plans he had in his life to get to this point, in a span of one month, all came crashing to the ground.Now the only thing that can console him, and get him up from the ground is Denvers Enterprise. He needs to get that company.He'll have to prepare a contract, make her sign it, and then kill her, and her unborn children so as not to have trouble in the future.He looked up. And

Owen's phone began ringing. He looked around and saw everyone busy with their own thing. He sighed wondering why Leo is calling. He warned him.He saw a hidden spot, and decided to go there, and answer the call knowing it was important since anything concerning Mr. Hodge is important.He got to the spot and answered the call. "I told you not to call.""You should find a way to get out of there, Owen. The police are on their way."Owen's eyes widened. "What? How's that possible? I didn't tell you.""Well, I'm surprised about that seeing as I'm sure you knew my wife is in my dad's hands. Thankfully, all my hope wasn't on you, so if you know what's best for you, start leaving so as not to be caught in that situation."Owen nodded. "Are you sure it'll work though? What if he escapes?""He shouldn't, Owen.""But your wife. She's not in a good condition, and I'm pretty sure your dad will drag her around.""I'll be on my way there," Leo informed.Owen nodded. "Instead of escaping, I'm gonna

Two weeks later, and a day later.(9th November. Tuesday.)Alexa sighed for the nth time getting frustrated at how her husband being clueless when it comes to pregnancy is affecting her.She's being on the bed like she felt tied to it. The only reason that'll make her get off is when she's going to have a bath. He won't even let her do that on her own.Even on Halloween, they were indoors.It's obviously because of his fear of something going wrong, but it's somehow a bit too much.She just hopes this upcoming Thanksgiving won't be as boring.Since entering this month, he's been so focused on his wife. Does what she tells him to do without complaining. You could tell he was on edge since, in less than two months, Alexa will be pushing three babies out. He knew it wouldn't be an easy thing.He even started checking on her company for her, since there was no one managing it at the main time.Because of his wife, he began wearing suit.The door opened, and Leo entered making Alexa smile.

As Alexa and Leo both lie down quietly, Alexa couldn't help, but wonder what exactly her husband is thinking about. He was in deep thought. Like his mind traveled him to a faraway land.She rested on her side, her hand on him with her head in the crook of his neck. "You're now acting like me. Thinking too much.""Your stomach is poking me, and I'm not comfortable with this position," Leo said truthfully, causing her to frown. He turned her back to her old position and rested on his side looking at her pouted face while caressing her side. "I know you've been annoyed by me..."Alexa looked at him. "You shouldn't mind me honestly. I'm just being childish."Leo nodded. "I'm glad you know."Alexa sighed. "I'm pretty sure you know thanksgiving is coming up soon. We're not gonna be staying home all through right?""We are. It's cold, and dangerous outside."Alexa's eyes drooped. "But Leo...""We are gonna be celebrating it since it's Thanksgiving anyways. All your friends will be here. Eve

10th November. Wednesday."Do we have to attend the baby shower? What if something goes wrong?" Leonard asked placing a plate of bacon, and eggs in front of her.Alexa gave him a look of disbelief. "Okay, don't go there, Leonard. Not there. It's our babies shower, so we're attending."Leo sat down. "Is that an order?"Alexa shrugged. "Take it as you see it. I'm not gonna let it pass us by because of your fears."Leo scoffed. "Fears. One good explanation. Don't make it look like a crime, especially when there's a killer on the loose."Alexa sighed. "Phoebe took her time to prepare everything. To make it possible. To her, it was a contribution. I can't just disappoint her.""She'll understand.""We're attending whether you like it or not." Alexa stood her ground.Leo nodded. "You should eat."Alexa gave him a look and decided to start eating her breakfast.Leo stood up making her confused. "Aren't you gonna eat? Where's your food?""I'll eat later. Don't worry, and eat." Leo told her an

(Six days later.) 16th. November. Tuesday.Phoebe let out a breath of relief and collapsed on Alexa's couch. She was looking extremely tired, and completely exhausted.Alexa sat in front of her with a smile on her face. "Today was really splendid."Phoebe scoffed and looked at her. "Splendid? Not everything went as planned you know? Thanks to your killjoy husband.""You should understand him. Nothing is really going as planned at the moment."Phoebe nodded. "Well, I'm thankful it was a success. Everyone had fun, and most importantly, Leo lost a lot of money."Alexa chuckled. "Yeah. I was surprised you billed him for everything."Phoebe nodded. "Of course. He's the man of the house. The head."Alexa just shook her head and looked out her window. Leo and Emily are busy having a heated conversation."Leo is definitely not going to be calm til his dad is caught," Phoebe stated the obvious.Alexa looked at her. "Yeah. I can't wait for things to be better. I hate seeing him this way. It ann

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

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

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.

"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

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
