The Marriage Contract Chapter 64
18th November. Thursday.Leo couldn't help but worry all through the day upon receiving information about his dad cooking a bad plan. It made him uneasy. He couldn't relax.Alexa could sense it. He was too around, and although she liked it, she knew there was a different reason."Relax, Leo. Pacing around makes me feel uneasy." Alexa told him.He looked at her, nodded, and sat beside her.Alexa looked at his feet and frowned seeing as he was tapping them. It made her wonder exactly what was going on. The behavior is sudden.Meanwhile, Emily was busy in her office thinking about the information she received from Leo. She was also disturbed by it.What is it that Mr. Renard Hodge hasn't done? What kind of bad plan is he trying to execute?It was so frustrating having no clue, and just sitting still, and doing nothing about it.She sighed, and slide her hand on her desk causing her cup of coffee to fall and splash on the ground. It gave her a bad vibe as she stared at the floor.A delive

Two days later. (20th. Nov. Saturday.)Emily couldn't stop crying as it was still unbelievable to her. It overwhelmed her completely.Phoebe was her friend long before Alexa even came into the picture. They all did things together. Everything without nothing aside. She was always there, but now, seeing her pale dead body wrapped that disrespectfully, it couldn't stop dawning on her that Phoebe is gone. She was mercilessly murdered.Audrey walked up to her with a sigh as she couldn't stop crying. She was given the day off, and hands off the case due to the emotions springing forth out of her.Audrey sat on her couch. "Emily, I can tell how much it hurts to lose a dear friend, but you have to man up. You need to be okay, so we can focus on bringing her death to justice."Emily looked at her, her eyes all red, and teary. "Tell me, how did she die? What's the autopsy result?""Um, you saw it yourself, her throat was slit.""That's all. No other harm on her? No sign of struggle?"Audrey sh

"I think I'm ready to know how you guys met," Leo informed, as he got on the bed.Alexa looked at him with a sad face. "It was a very long time ago. I was four. We were four."Leo nodded. "Okay.""Me, my mom, and dad went out on a family day when we almost ran them both over. They were scared to death, and they were very small, dehydrated, and unhealthy. They were pitiful. My mom wondered where they came from, but they couldn't answer because they were shaken up. Out of pity, my mom decided to help. We took them to a hospital, treated them well, and after that my mom called social services. In the end, we discovered the foster parents taking care of them were neglecting them. I was already loving them, they were my age, and I wanted them close. Since then, we kept tabs on them, my parents took care of them, I always visited them, and just like that, we grew up together as best friends."Leo nodded in understanding. "It's a really long story.""I summarized it, Leo.""I'm sorry again,

One week later. (29th. Nov. Monday.)Seeing the trailer upfront, Alexa matched her brake to stop her car from going further. She was surprised to see it didn't budge. She kept stepping on it, but it didn't work.Her eyes were wide in terror at the trailer still there, as she kept stepping on the brake.She frowned, her heart jolting. "What the hell? What the hell is happening?"Everything was dawning on her, and her chest rising up, and down in rapid breaths.Panic seized her brain, as she couldn't stop her car from moving."Oh my God!"She looked around in fear as she kept stepping. "No. No. No." But then her brows furrowed as it caught something... She furrowed her brows deeply at the sight. "What...what is he standing there doing?"She instinctively looked back at the trailer and screamed her guts out...Alexa's eyes opened, her chest breathing heavily. She blinked not knowing how to interpret the dream. It was the accident, she was sure, but seeing Leonard standing there was surre

"So she remembered?"Leo nodded feeling uneasy. "She did, and now she hates me."Emily sighed as he sat down restless. "She's going to be fine, Leonard. And the both of you will talk things out."Leonard didn't know what to reply, the only thing he wished for at the moment is her safety, and that of his babies, because he'll be at fault if anything happens to either of them. He won't be able to take it.The doctor came out of Alexa's ward, and towards them making them both stand up. "How's she doctor?"The doctor shook her head. "Not in a good state, Mr. Hodge.""What's wrong with her?" Emily asked."She's diagnosed with preeclampsia. Somehow she developed gestational hypertension."Leo blinked knowing he was at fault."So what happens next?""We're gonna have to perform a c-section on her, and don't worry, since she's up to thirty weeks, the babies will be fine." The doctor assured.Emily looked at Leo wondering what he should say about it."What about her? Is she going to be fine?"

For over an hour if not more, Leo has been impatiently waiting for the doctor, and nurses to come out. He was wondering what was going on inside, and how much longer it'll take for them to finish.He just wants good news. He's seriously longing for them.He immediately looked as the door opened. He stood up, and saw the doctor in green scrubs, a face mask, and riding an incubator towards him.Leo walked closer, his eyes fixated on the incubator. He sighed in relief, with a smile on his face as he looked at his babies. "Are they..."The doctor nodded. "They are, although for now, they need to be kept in NICU so as to get perfectly healthy."Leo looked at her. "How long?""Two weeks approximately.""Aren't they also gonna need like breast milk to survive?"The doctor nodded. "Yeah, but since your wife is in a coma...""Coma?""Yeah. She had seizures, but we've been able to calm her, so don't worry."Leo sighed and looked back at his babies. His brows furrowed. "Is it okay for them to sl

Leo stared at his mom's dead body, his heart filled with pain, tears snaking down from his eyes as he looked at her face he hasn't seen in a long time.He's trying hard to hold himself not to burst into crying, but it really hurts. He wanted to save his mom, not find her dead and tossed around.He shook his head, closing his eyes shut, while Emily tried to console him by touching, and rubbing his shoulder."I'm sorry for your loss, Leonard. This was...unexpected." Emily made it known.Leonard looked at her. "It seems like my dad has given up."Emily nodded. "His giving up doesn't seem to be a good thing. It's obvious before he gets caught, he wants to ruin your life."Leo sighed and looked back at his mom. He was so angry that all he could think of was getting revenge. He's gonna show him exactly what he's capable of.He looked at Emily. "Excuse me.""Where are you going?" Emily asked as he was leaving, but she didn't get a reply.She came out of the door. "Leo!!" But no reply.She si

"EVERYONE! HANDS IN THE AIR!!" The voice boomed out loud causing everyone inside to get shocked and alerted."Surprise?" Leo made fun of chuckling as he saw all of them bringing out their guns to try, and fight.Mr. Hodge looked at him, a hint of fear on his face. "You lied to me.""Who's the stupid one now?" Leo asked with raised eyebrows.Leo could feel his burning hatred, as he stared angrily at him. It was totally worth it. If only he could take a picture, and frame him."Boss. We're surrounded." Jaguar came to inform.Mr. Hodge was breathing heavily, his fear spicing up. He gulped looking around. "Can you find any way out? I can't get arrested.""There is no way out, boss! They're many!" Devin hollered.The door was kicked open with force. "HANDS IN THE AIR!!"Mr. Hodge gulped, his pride faltering. He knew it was the end. He was gonna get caught eventually.The cops went and rounded up the goons of Mr. Hodge.James immediately walked to Leo and released him.Leo stood up. "Thanks

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.
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
