It was late at night. Alexa lay on the bed looking exhausted. She was becoming so big that she was no longer able to do things on her own. Not even get up.

Leo helps her to do almost everything, and she knows how much she stresses him out.

The nights she wakes Leo up just because she couldn't feel her legs, or need a massage, or whenever she starts craving something makes her feel a lot guilty.

She was causing him to have sleepless nights, but apparently, Leo knows it's his duty to always be there for her.

If she has sleepless nights, then he should too, and make sure she's able to go back to sleep since that's also the only way for him to go back to sleep.

Leo walked inside the room after the annoying call he received and lay down on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Alexa asked Leo.

Leo looked at her and shook his head. "Nothing much. Just got a call from an unexpected somebody."

Alexa's eyes furrowed in wonder as to who was the unexpected somebody. She was wondering if she should ask, or j

    "Ahh." Alexa moaned out loud, as Leo kept fingering her with his other hand under her neck. His hand in her p***y was wet as he stroked it up and down her clit. He'll be lying if he says he didn't love what he was doing to her."Oh yeah." Alexa moaned out softly, and her eyes rolled back into her head as Leo's thumb rubbed around a sweet spot.Leo could tell how much she was loving it, cause each time he slowly moved his finger, she pushed impatiently against his hand."Oh." Alexa moaned with a shaky breath, and Leo couldn't help, but smile seeing his wife that way. He wanted more of it but was trying to withdraw.Alexa wasn't kinda satisfied with the rate Leo was going. He was being too slow. "Leo." She called out. "A bit faster." She told him widening her legs more for his hand."Hmm," Leo replied and started going faster, causing Alexa to throw her head back against the bed, grabbing onto the sheets. "God yes..." She moaned in between breaths. "Ahh..." She went on lifting herself u

    Leo nodded. "Yeah. Give me updates from time to time, Lance. I wanna know everything happening in my clubhouse. Also, send me the information about our next client. I wanna know the kind of party they want to be doing there."Lance nodded. "Will do that, Sir."Leo hung up with a brooding sigh. He kinda misses his home and wishes for Alexa to be with him there.But sadly, she has her own responsibility here. A responsibility she wants to put on him.And also after what happened last night, there's been a brooding tension between the both of them after he woke her up from the dream she was on, and told him about it.Things just changed. Alexa won't talk to him, and he knew it was last night's trouble.Although he thinks that it's because he didn't give her what she wanted, but Alexa had her own reasons.She was feeling shame, and angry at herself for behaving the way she did.Her wanting sex in a very obsessive manner made her annoyed at herself, and also for the fact that she was equal

    2nd. October Saturday.Laid on the bed, Alexa couldn't help, but keep staring at her husband who sat on the bed, backing her, and on call. He was looking pale and dazed at the same time. It seemed there's a lot going on in his mind. Like he's worried about something serious that's causing him to get sick.She was sad because there was no way to help him, and he won't even let it. He just wants to drown in it.Leo scoffed at the information he was receiving from Emily. "Do you believe that?" He asked over the phone.Emily shook her head. "Don't know. Walter and Greg claimed she's the mole.""They just called all of a sudden to expose the mole?"Alexa furrowed her brows at what she heard. Mole?Emily nodded. "Yeah. They said that there's no need to keep that information, since their whole family is dead, and they're ruined."Leo shook his head. He didn't know if he should believe, it or not since it was too much of a coincidence, but he'll definitely get to the bottom of it."I'll just

    "It's funny how I can call you, and you'll still answer. I guess I'm still that father figure." Mr. Hodge looked at his son with a smirk on his face.Leo just looked away in annoyance."Please sit, son. Sit down." Mr. Hodge gestured."I didn't think you called me here to sit," Leo told him. "Just get straight to the point."Mr. Hodge nodded. "I've been having a lot of setbacks in my business. I failed to doubt your hands are not on it."Leo smirked. "Wow, dad. Your failures are none of my business.""You're venturing into dangerous waters, son.""And I'm a pretty decent swimmer, dad.""Think about your wife. I don't think she can swim in her state, or can you carry the responsibility?" Mr. Hodge threatened.Leo blinked. "Well, I'm pretty sure I can.""I've warned you times without number, Leo. Don't wound what you cannot kill. I'm keeping quiet because you're my son, but if you keep this up, you'll regret giving me this trial runs in the betrayal arena."Leo scoffed. "Betrayal? You br

    Two days later. (4th October. Monday.)"Ow." Alexa moaned again in pain feeling her babies kicking."It's not stopping?" Leo asked with a frown.Alexa nodded breathing heavily. "Y...yeah. Oh, God." She felt the baby kick again.Leo kept his right hand on her stomach, rubbing it, while Alexa leaned back on the couch, and rested her head on it."I think they're feeling too excited." She said between closed breaths and then sighed as she was beginning to feel it stop.After a little while, she didn't feel any kicking. "I think it stopped." She said leaning forward."They did? That's good. Right?" Leo asked feeling a bit unsure.Alexa smiled looking at him. "Right. I guess kicking can be ruthless too."Leo nodded, but as he was about to remove his hand from her stomach, she felt another kick. "Ah." She breathed out and held his hand on it."What happened?" Leo asked with furrowed brows.Alexa shook her head. "Nothing. Just stay. Where are you going?" She asked leaning back on the couch.L

    Audrey let out a huge sigh for the nth time, completely wondering why their case got nowhere, and what that C letter branded on the dead body meant."What are we gonna do, Montez? All our new leads keep going nowhere. We've searched around for any company, complexes, restaurants, and whatnot that's using that C logo, but nothing matched. I no longer think that C is a lead anymore. The family doesn't even have much to offer." Levi complained in annoyance."I feel whoever is involved takes us as a joke. They know it'll be hard to get caught, so they just announced it was truly a homicide. I feel we're playing a 'catch me if you can' game." Audrey layout looking at the pictures of the dead body."Montez, Craig. I got something." A Sergeant came toward them."What?" Audrey asked."I discovered the MO used on the vic wasn't the first. There are more like that that dated two to three years ago. And more like it in cities, and countries far from us." The Sergeant informed them and handed the

    Audrey sighed looking at the dead body. "So you're saying you don't remember anyone that could have had a motive, or hold a grudge against your husband?" She asked Joanne.Joanne nodded, her face looking sad, and her eyes watery. "It's not like I know everything he does.""When you saw him this morning, didn't you notice something was wrong?" Levi asked.The question made Joanne furrow her brows at the remembrance of the morning weirdness. "He..he was looking kind of unsettled. Not going to work alone was weird, because he's always serious about it. He said he was feeling under the weather, but refused to see a doctor." She told them."And apart from this morning, you didn't notice anything else weird about him." Audrey probed further.Joanne nodded. "As far as I know, yes. Although I kinda felt he was keeping something from me. I can't really tell what it's based on, but just a feeling."Audrey looked at Kevin, and the C branded on his body. She just hoped the case won't be a lost on

    6th October. Wednesday."So early in the morning, Nick," Leo muttered looking at the pics he sent in his phone. The pics happened to be his sister and her mother, and scrolling down, his eyes narrowed at the pics of her death, and the guy who ran her over."She was killed, Leo. I asked Jace if he knew who that careless guy is, and he said yes. The guy's name was Vic...Victor Fields who was once alive but was killed due to this very operation. He wasn't careful, and let himself get caught in the CCTV. He was once working for your father and was a partner to the recent right-hand man in the organization there on your side, Lionel Stone. While he was alive, and they were here, Victor was the right-hand man of the boss, they were the ones ruling this place til he did the careless operation. Those times, your dad didn't seem to have right and left-hand men by him. After Victor died, he promoted Lion to stay by his side and handed the throne to others. I even discovered that Lion was his on

    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

"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
