The Marriage Contract Chapter 72
Alexa cried upon seeing Leo's pale body and lying unconscious, breathing with the help of oxygen. "What really happened? How did things result in this?""For one, it's Leo's stubbornness. Apparently, he discovered where your godfather is hiding, but when he saw his mom's dead body, he got angry, and went alone to your godfather's hideout.....although, he informed me when he got there."Alexa kept crying as she listened to the explanation. How could he risk his life like that? She can't lose him. She really can't."I should leave you with him." Emily made known, and left the room, while Alexa just focused on gazing at Leo, tears running down from her eyes."I'm...I'm sorry for not quickly understanding you, or knowing what you've been passing through, Leo. I'm so sorry for getting so angry and affected, but please remember your promise to me. You told me no one is gonna be next. You promised no one is gonna die, so please don't." She shook her head. "I'm not angry at you anymore. Your

Seven years later. (17th. May. Tuesday.)It was evening, and Alexa was busy preparing dinner for her family. She couldn't help, but overhear some disturbances in their movie room. She sighed wondering what her kids are now up to.All of a sudden, she heard a crash sound making a heart skip. She immediately lowered her gas and went to the room they were in. The three of them just stood there glaring at each other."What's happening here?"Her daughter immediately ran to her. "Mom." She said with a pout, and hug her."What is it?"Damien sighed. "It's Aria, mom. She's stubborn."Alexa rose a brow at him. "Really? Guess whose teacher called me for a complaint."Damien looked away in mortification.Alexa looked at her other son. He's always the collected one. "Explain what happened, Damon.""Um, we were trying to teach her how to play a video game, but she wasn't grabbing it. Damien got tired, and frustrated, and decided to stop. Aria didn't want him to stop, so she seized the remote. It

"Alexa." Leo pouted.Alexa shook her head. "No.""Come on, Alexa. How long? Gee." He said with a frown.She gaped at him. "You're not the one getting pregnant, and three kids running around the house are headaches enough.""Ah. Don't do that. Don't call our kids headaches. Aren't they wonderful?"Alexa smiled. "Truly they are....""Come on." Leo kept persisting, shaking her on the bed."No, Leo. I don't want to.""Are you scared?" Leo asked.Alexa sighed. "A bit. Besides, I don't think I can handle more than one again.""Just because it was triplets doesn't mean it'll be again. I mean, it's been seven years. Am I wrong?""What about threats? Your dad is just there in jail, but I can't help, but feel he's ticking like a time bomb.""He's in there for life, Alexa. He'll die there." Leo assured her.Alexa shook her head. "I'm not sure. I don't think our kids will even want baby siblings.""Who doesn't want baby siblings? Those kids are growing up, are getting really smart, and are being

Alexa sighed as she, and Leo came out of the company. It was weird although she understood why she had to oversee that."I was surprised you accepted the client," Leo confessed.Alexa chuckled. "He was investing, Leo. A huge amount of money for that matter. Do you know how much interest we could gain?"Leo nodded. "Indeed, I just don't feel right about it. It's not like your company is the only one on the planet."Alexa looked at him and shook her head. "Go turn the car around."As they both walk close to the road, Leo furrowed his brows upon sighting a speeding car by his left charging towards them. His eyes widened in horror, and he immediately pushed Alexa away from the car as it ran past them.Alexa's heart skipped as it happened. "What..." She was breathing fast.Leo looked at the car with a panicked expression. It stopped, and then it drove off. He frowned wondering what just happened. He was getting a bad vibe from it."What just happened? Were we almost ran over? Or...or did h

"How come I'm not seeing anything working out, Joe?"Joe kept his head lowered in fear of his father. "I'm sorry, dad.""You're sorry? I didn't know I have a failure as a son. One simple task, but you can't do.""I tried. I've tried doing things to get Damien expelled, but it's not enough.""Then do something that could tie him to something bad, Joe. Or maybe focus on his sister, you told me her anger is as worse as her brother, didn't you?""Dad, her kind of anger is throwing tantrums. It doesn't have much effect. It can't help us with anything.""And what about the other brother? You said he's calm and doesn't like getting involved with fights..."Joe looked at his dad. "He's my next target, dad.""What are you going to do?""Something that could really cause an alarm to not just the school, but his family."...(19th. May. Thursday.)"It's school once again. I hate it." Damien complained with distaste.Damon blinked trying to ponder on something. "Is it just me, or isn't it weird

Damon stared deeply at Joe as he entered the cafeteria. He wondered exactly what was going on in that dumb head of his. He's suspecting. He's weird, and most importantly, he's up to something against his brother, Damien, but what that thing is is what he doesn't know, and what he needs to find out.They heard a gong sound and looked as their principal entered the cafeteria with a speaker. "Everyone of you, there's something I need to address."Everyone went quiet and listened attentively."Something important was stolen from my cabinet. Our school's first award."Everyone gasped at the information, and murmurings started."Keep quiet all of you!"Everyone held their ears with flinch as the sound went loud into it."As you all know, since it's our first award, it is considered our lucky charm. Whoever stole it, or whoever saw who stole it should report it to my desk, or confess now!"Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads insinuating innocence."This kind of behavior is not

Leo entered the principal's office, and met Damon kneeling on the floor. It angered him. "Sorry, but why is my son kneeling?"The principal stood up. "Mr. Hodge..."He slammed the door shut. "I asked a question."Alexa looked at the principal with raised brows making her sigh. "Like I told your wife, it's a punishment. What your son did...""Where's the evidence?""We found it in his locker, Mr. Hodge. Almost all the students witnessed it."Leo sighed and looked at Damon. "Did you do it?"Damon looked at his dad. "No."Leo looked back at the principal. "He said he didn't do it.""You just believed because he said it?" The principal asked in disbelief."He's my son, and I know him well. He's not capable of such, and besides, why would he steal the stupid award? What does he want it for?" Leonard questioned out of annoyance.Alexa sighed really not liking the fact that Damon was on his knees."Mr. Hodge..""Before this continues, can my son get up?" She interrupted.The principal looked

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
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."
The Marriage Contract 2-81
(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
