Elizabeth's POV
Elizabeth sat beside the fire place with her phone in her hands, she stared at the she took with leo, Elizabeth cried silently. She has been like this for three days now and she believed he was dead.
Stephen pooped his head around her door, he sighed.
" Elizabeth", Stephen smiled, he tried to lighten her mood but his smile faded when she did not reply him.
" Bruno asked me to get you down, you have not been eating healthy for the past three days", Stephen complained.
" I am fine", Elizabeth lied.
Stephen stared at her, he chose to remain silent and sat beside her.
" You know something Elizabeth, ever since I knew Leo, he has never loved a girl like the way he loved you and care for you", Stephen smiled as he remem
As they stopped in front of the scary house, Elizabeth clinged to Bruno while Bruno clutched Casano like his life depends on it." Who brought the idea of us coming to the scary house?", Bruno shakily asked.They all pointed to him. " You are the one baby", Casano replied him, he let out a small laugh and kiss him on his forehead." Come on you all are scared cats", Anita scoffed. " It is just a made up horror with people putting on some stupid customs."" Come on in", the attendant said to them as it was their turn. Elizabeth saw some kids crying when they came out of the horror room, she even saw a lady shaking like a leaf with a pale face." I think I am going to change my mind, I will just wait here until you come out", Elizabeth said.
" Romano", he replied curtly. Leo does not like to use his last name, he preferred people to refer to him as Leo. So, the man knowing his last name was not an issue." Have your seat."Her boss stood up from where he sat, he walked towards his cabinet and brought out a file. He handed it over to Leo, sitting beside him.Leo reluctantly opened the file, it was obvious he did not come here freely but was forced into a deal with Zoey.Leo raised the picture up for a better look, he frowned." I have never heard of him before", Leo said, his fingers skimmed the criminal's name, Salim.It was a mugshot picture of him, Leo chuckled slowly, the monster was even smiling in his picture." How are we going to carry out the investigation?", Zoey asked.&n
The tension between them grew as Zoey and her boss kept on looking at each other. Zoey grew tensed in her seat, she was now feeling cautious of her so called boss. She thought of ways to avoid him getting all the praise and promotion for completing the task. She brought Leo here so she should be the one to get the praises not her boss, only her. Leo cleared his throat, the tension still lingered in the air. He purposely let out the truth so Zoey can see how deceptive her boss is and hiding the truth from her eyes. " So are we keeping up with up with the plan or what?", Leo asked to which none of them answered him. Maxi averted his eyes from the desk he was glaring at, he underestimated the man in front of him. Zoey never knew he was using her until now. She was a fool, a girl who thinks with her pants down.
Leo patted her back gently in a comforting way, he stroke her hair, raising her head up from his shoulder. " What is his name?", Leo asked. She felt a surge of anxiety, little Elizabeth swallowed. Her green eyes surveyed him nervously as if she was looking for something in him. " I do not know", she whispered. " When we were there, they never used their real name to call themselves but the boss is not Salim." " Salim is working for him", she shifted uncomfortably on her seat. Her butt was aching from sitting on the protruding root of the tree. Leo noticed how uncomfortable she was so he decided to let her return back to the camp where she was. He does not want to raise any suspicious alarm as he trust nobody. " I will speak with you tomorrow, we do not
Her mom dropped her luggage on the floor as she let it lean against the wall. She looked at her beautiful daughter who was busy with her phone. Selena peeped behind her daughter and saw that she was staring at the picture she took with Leo. Her saviour, she has seen so many times Leo tried to be happy. With the little time she met him, she knew he was a survivor. She has always prayed for her daughter even when she was not found. Leo brought her daughter to her. He deserved to be happy, everyone deserve to be. " I will miss you so much mom", Elizabeth voice brought Selena's attention to her daughter. " Me too baby, me too." Elizabeth does not know when she will see her mother again so she seized the opportunity to enjoy every last of it. When they
Leo thought of dialling the number that called now but he did not want to raise any suspicion so he tried to open the locked drawer. He was glad for his training in picking locks, Leo search for things he could use to pick the lock. He found a safety pin in a box.Leo crouched down in front of the drawer, he inserted the pin in the lock and twisted it until it opened. Leo pulled the drawer open, he searched for the files he saw maxi held when he was hiding.It contains the names of the people they kidnapped, Leo captured the name with his phone camera. He took pictures of more evidence and stole some important files. He was about to close the drawer when he saw a red sealed file peeping amidst the ones he checked. Leo took the file, he opened it." What the
" Isabella", he called the little girl. She smiled at her new name, she seems to love it more. The girls are so innocent and young, why will someone think of doing that to them. " Today is my birthday", Isabella said quietly as she played with a tendril of her hair. Leo closed his eyes, he completely forgot about her birthday and she told him about it yesterday. " Happy birthda
Leo did not even wait for maxi to speak before he left.He could picture Maxi fuming in anger, Leo smiled, he care less.He went straight to his room before anyone finds out that Zoey was missing. Leo locked the door behind him, he sighed, sitting on his bed.Leo's phone screen brighten, it vibrated as a message popped up on the screen.' I have arrived at the club. I can see Salim with some bodyguards surrounding him.'Maxi must have told him that they were not executing the club plan anymore. The idiot came today as usual.' good job, get closer to him but be careful.'Leo sighed, he trusted Zoey to send her alone for this mission. He should have gone with her.He should go and help her out. Leo arranged pillows in shape of him and coveted in with a blanket.
A year later " All set?", Elizabeth asked Anita who was coming out of the kitchen with her baby girl strapped on her chest with a baby carrier. Today, they were preparing for a family picnic since Bruno and Cassano are around. Also Anita and Stephen came, the house has always been too boring for Elizabeth with no one around and Leo was always busy but he always try his best in giving her his time even when he was busy. Stephen was out with Leonardo on a business trip as they decided to check the children at the orphanage, they will return home today for the picnic. That made Anita aggregated , she kept
Elizabeth raked her fingers through her hair, she sighed. Sitting on her bed, she was confused on what to wear. Elizabeth has tried different outfits trying to figure out what to put on. Finally, with a dress in her hand, she changed into it" What the fuck buttercup, you are wasting my time", Leo said as he stood on the doorway with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.Elizabeth smiled sheepishly at him, she stood in front of the mirror checking herself out for the umpteenth time.She nervously smoothen down her dress, wondering if Leo would like it. The minutes passed by so quickly, Elizabeth was going out with Leo and little Isabella so she tried to look her best. Her first time of getting to know Isabella must work out smoothly. Elizabeth did not know why she was trying hard to make Isabella like her which the girl already did but she felt it was not
Elizabeth smiled, if her eyes could glow, they would definitely glow right now. She looked shyly away when Leo approached her, it was as if she forgot how to breathe. Her heart thumped loudly in her ears that she could not hear anyone speak except for the approaching Leo. She probably looked creepy with the way she was staring at him. But what was bothering Elizabeth was the fact that Zoey and Leo had a past together. She wondered if the child was truly hers. Zoey said the child doesn't belong to her, then who does the child belongs to? " Buttercup", Leo said in his deep, raspy voice. Being alive in front of Elizabeth made her feel better. Hearing from him on the phone was not enough to assure her that he was okay. " Leonardo", Elizabeth breathed. She unconsciously walked towards him like her body was been pulled by an invisible force. She stood right in front of him and looked up so she could see his face better. All Elizabeth focused on was his eyes and the movement
ElizabethElizabeth woke up with the sun ray reflecting directly on her face. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes.The past month had been very difficult and slow. Elizabeth slide out under her covers to look outside the window, she was burning and badly needed a shower.Dragging herself from her room to her bathroom. Turning on the tap, she filled her bathtub with cool water and sank into it.She stood under the water for some seconds before resurfacing. The water helped in cooling her body, Elizabeth leaned against the tub and looked around the luxurious bathroom.This was not her life style, Elizabeth thought of leaving Leo's mansion and start a new life.Elizabeth was happy she found love and family but it was not fair to remain here when the person that brought her was not around.&n
Leo groaned, he hid behind the table as he ripped his shirt off and tied his arm with it. Six more guards to go, Leo breathed harshly through his mouth. He was out of bullet and still had a long way to go. It was as if heaven was on his side when he saw a gun laying on the table in front of him, Leo crawled towards the gun, it was fully loaded with bullets. Aiming at the guards, Leo shot three of them down on the head. He jumped on the table and shot at the remaining guards. " No where to run to now Maximus", Leo smirked as he moved around the bar, he stepped on the body blocking his path and saw Maxi staring at him wide eyed. " Shock to see me kill all the guards? I already told you before we started, you wast
Leo frowned, this was just four in the morning. He wondered who that was, it could be Maxi.Leo brought out his knife and held it behind him, he opened the door slightly.Talk of the devil, it was Maxi.Maxi stood outside the door with a gloomy expression, he could not sleep as he kept on thinking of what Leo was doing to Zoey so he decided to check it out himself." Good morning Romano", Maxi greeted. He tried peeping through the small space Leo created." Good morning Maxi, how may I be of help?", Leo spoke to him in a monotonous tone, he was getting irritated at Maxi's pretence attitude. Leo felt like creating a hole in his skull." I am sorry, I just wanted us to take a morning walk and discuss about the mission", Maxi replied." Isn't it too early Max
Leo landed a powerful kick on his chest which sent him sprawling on the floor. Salim spat out blood, he wiped his busted lips. " I am sorry Leo, please spare me", Salim cried. " I will do anything you want please man." " Anything?", Leo smirked. " Yes anything Leo." " Okay then", Leo said as he sat on the table with the gun in his hand. " Let us talk, where are the girls?" " T-t-the girl....", Salim swallowed, he wiped the sweat away from his forehead with his trembling hand. " They are in an underground, that is where we keep the girls and share there body." Zoey gagged, how can he brutally murder the girls like that. " You are a monster", she spat.

" I said we are not going with guards, we are going alone." " No doubt, you arrived at my office unannounced in the evening, speaking of the plan you have. Tell me, is it about the plan or about is there something else you want me to know?", Maxi leaned forward on his seat, the frown on his face deepen when he saw Leo smile. He knew he was not an easy prey to catch so he wanted to make a deal with him. ' Maxi can never lose, I am always the winner', he thought as he waited for Leo to speak. " A little of both, you are right. Indeed Maxi, I came here for something but I do not mean any harm. I came here to help you catch the criminal not become your enemy." " How do I know I can trust you?", Maxi asked. " You said you came with some information, something new Romano?"
