LEIGH-ARI
My conversation with Laura had made me think of my decision and everything i have done ever since that incident. And i knew for a fact that i was really being yellow, running away from my own mess which i sadly, would have to fix at the very end. Because truthfully, i couldn’t stay at Laura’s house any longer. Not because my girl wanted me out or she was complaining about my very unwanted and disturbing residence at her house.
Thus after a very long minute of deep thinking, I concluded on going back to my house and just see what life has in store for me. If Neighbor Dearest came to address what had happened, then I would be there to give him answers and even ask questions of my own. Although I really didn’t know what I would say if he happened to ask!
I arrived at my house late at night and luckily, I didn’t run into him in the corridor or anywhere and for that; I was very appeased! In the morning, I woke up early since I had a

LEIGH-ARI“Dr. Montreal, there has been a change in the plans pertaining to the workshop!” My HOD informed me as soon as I stepped into his office. Right after I settled in my seat in my office, I was summoned to his office where he didn’t waste time but spill the news.“Okay?”“You are the only one in our department who will be going. Dr. Elijah isn’t coming with you anymore.” He informed fixing his glasses on the ridge on his nose.“Oh? Where do we leave again?” I didn’t know how to feel about the change,“Its tomorrow!”“Oh my god. It totally slipped my mind!” I called out slamming my palm on my forehead. Lately, I have been highly destructed by my neighbor dearest that I didn’t even realize that the workshop was in a few hours. And to add the cherry on top, the workshop was actually outside the country and we needed to fly there.“I understand

LEIGH-ARI The anticipation of what waited for me in First Class cabin was suffocating, and as soon as I stepped into the First Class Terminal, my whole changed! It was as if I had stepped into a whole new different world and it’s crazy how the adventure started right even before I boarded the plane. My poor self always thought First Class is on in the cabin. I walked to the check-in where I quickly dealt with the process and even before I could turn to leave, a neat poised gentleman with a khaki pilot suit and white fabric gloves was waiting for me patiently and stoically. He ushered me to walk and that's what I did, he walked in well-manicured and practices steps in front of me, leading us to the doors which revealed a giant airport lounge as soon as he opened them. Now this wasn’t just an ordinary airport lounge. This lounge was astoundingly smashing! There were comfortable luxurious loungers and chairs, as well as a huge ass large spread of gourmet food wa

LORENZO POV “Can you tell me why you are here?” Leigh-Ari intoned from the seat opposite mine. The dinner table was the only barrier between us and the light from the candles danced, causing ghost shadows to flicker on her face. Her eyes would flutter close when she blinked, she would occasionally wet her lips by swiping her moist tongue on her bottom lip then bite on it when she was lost deep in thought. I took my wine glass and took a small sip, savoring the taste of highly fermented grapes which took years and years to reach the savory taste. I placed it gently on the table and looked back at her: “I told you, I am the sponsor of the workshop. And in the business world, sponsors are present during the workshops. We just want to see that we gave out money for a good course, to something that would bring us profit. Because as harsh as it may sound, business people care about nothing, except profit!” I explained briefly bringing my arms to the table, then pla

LEIGH-ARIConsciousness slowly dawned on me and I became vaguely aware of my surrounding. My eyes were pinched closed and I seemed to be lying on my back with my head snuggled cozily on a plush pillow. However, it didn’t feel like I was waking up from a long sleep; it felt like a sedative was wearing off in my bloodstream and I was back to the land of the living.I groaned out aloud as I turned to my side and searched the side table for my phone. My hand came into contact with a hard dang ass frigid post and I let out a curse. What in the actual hell? I got up to a sitting position with my eyes still closed. Somehow they fell so heavy that I couldn’t even open them. After some brief negotiation with them, they slowly peeled open and I took in my surrounding.I was sitting on a huge four-poster king-sized bed covered in white sheets and a deep grey blanket was draped over my body. The white curtains of the bed were neatly cuffed up the metal posts, revealing the cream-painte

LORENZO POVAfter our little conversation, things got a little heated when reality settled in that there was no turning back! Leigh-Ari had asked for her phone, Vernero flat out told her no; she looked at me thinking I'd put in a good word for her but I just shrugged and continued drinking my wine.She had then fled out of the lounge running back to the room she was sleeping; temporarily.Vernero and I planned to take her to our bedrooms soon. Things were really looking up and I was loving every minute of it. Vernero turned with a phone in his hand, punched some digits, and then placed it on his ear:"Valerie, prepare Madam's room." He informed shortly and then hung up the call, walked towards me, and perched himself beside me."She is pissed." He called out, deep furrows forming on his forehead."She should be. Let's give her some time." I interjected giving him a manly slap on his back.I checked the watch on my hand and realized I was running insanely lat

LEIGH-ARIAfter my little conversation with the hooligan, he insisted I take a bath, and seeing as how he was on the edge of losing it; I had no choice but to comply with him.Something about him was vaguely off, and no matter how much I knew to calm people down, there was no calming him down. He was insane in his own way and I didn't want to tick him off, not while I was still clueless as to why they captured me. He seemed to be a very well poised psychopath who would skin you alive while he had a poker face.So nope! I wasn't playing anywhere near him.After eating, he took me down the staircases and beyond the lounge. I was really in awe of the interior and everything about this place. The room which I woke up in, seemed to be in a tower. and I had chuckled to myself when I realized they had locked me in a tower, like some kind of a princess in tales. After walking non-stop, rounding corners, and climbing up and down the stairs, we came to a very big and opulent h

VERNERO POVSitting in my big leather seat in my office, my eyes were glued to the desktop screen in front of me. The red dot moved from the spot where Dark Woods layed until it reached right within the city.I reclined into my seat and watched steadfastly as it went round and round in circles, assumingly from this shop to the next! Just when I thought things were going to be less... fascinating, the spot took off hurriedly and ran in a different direction.A smirk pulled up on my face and I leaned my arms on the table and watched it, things were about to get interesting!A sudden vibration of my phone pulled my eyes off the screen; it was Ciello. I clicked on the receive button and placed the phone on my ear:"Boss, I am so sorry. I lost her." Ciello rattled in the speaker causing me to deepen my smirk;"I know!" I replied shortly, my eyes moving back to the screen, the dot moved in the direction of the police station and I couldn't help but swell up with pride. M
