The woman looked different today. She was putting on some loose pants and a loose shirt. Her hair was in a messy ponytail. She looked like she wasn't too up to dressing up. Although she still looked very beautiful and some men in the room still turned to get a second glance at her. Edgar looked back to Leo and saw that it was on this woman he was so fixated on. There was no doubt about it now Leo was definitely interested in this woman. He was happy for the first time his best friend was actually showing some interest in a woman. And at that moment he made a pledge to help his friend with his "love quest". So as the woman walked towards their direction he immediately called out to her shocking her and even Leo.
Cassie was on her way to take a table when someone immediately called out to her. She turned and found Leo and his friend from yesterday. She had seen them immediately she entered the room but she decided to just ignore them only for Leo's fr
"What the hell had he done?!", Leo asked himself as he ran in the rain through the alleyways without destination, confused."No.... no there was no way he could have killed her.... no it couldn't have been him", he tried to reassure himself. He tried calming himself as he took several deep breaths and slowed down his steps."No... mom please don't leave me... please don't leave me", the cries of the young girl who leaned over her dying mother crying. The cries of the girl broke his resolve as he broke down once more holding his head in his hands, he cried."What exactly had he done?"Present Day"I'm roping you know into taking responsibility for me"Those words rang in Leo's head. He couldn't help but loose himself in those fierce blue eyes which seemed determined as she made that declaration."He wanted to take responsibility for her". He wanted to yell out to her that he was willing to take responsibility for h
Cassie sat languidly on the couch. She was bored. Really bored. She never even knew she was capable of being bored. Why? Because she was always buried in her work and had no time to even start feeling bored. But today was different. She didn't want to work. She didn't feel like working. Maybe it was the fact that Sarah had left before her leaving her here all alone or that she had spoiled herself too much on this trip but she was feeling really reluctant to work. So she had told her secretary Leah to handle some of her work for her. She could remember how shocked Leah was when she had told her to handle some of her work for her. Because that wasn't something she would normally do."Ah", she sighed again."What should she do now?" She considered going out and sightseeing but she was a bit scared considering Sarah wasn't with her."But then again why should I feel scared?", she scolded herself."It's just sightseeing Cassie. Since when did you need a
"If you dare to touch my woman again, it'll be the last time you have hands" Cassie looked at him surprised. "Had this man just called her his woman?", Cassie was dumbfounded. "What the hell are you thinking, Leo?! What the hell did you just say?" Leo was shocked by himself. But he decided to focus more on the issue at hand. He looked at the ice cream man who was now trembling in his hands. He let him go and reached into his pockets. He brought out his wallet and took out a 10,000 dollar note and gave it to the man. "Keep the change", he said to the man as he dragged Cassie away from there. The ice cream man looked at the two of them walk away in shock. Cassie and Leo walked side by side on the main road. The both of them quiet with neither of them saying anything, each lost in their own thoughts. "Damn you Leo! You just had to go and call her your woman didn't you? Weren't you were the one trying to push her away just th
They had sat down on one of the many benches at the Lake Ontario Park."Hm", Cassie moaned as she bit into her hot dog. She had bought the hot dog from a street cart and she had completely forgotten how good they were. Or more like Leo had bought it for her. She looked at the man sitting beside her. He is indeed very handsome she thought. His jawline was perfect, his lips were plump, his eyes were defined and had a sharp look to them.Cassie knew she shouldn't be thinking about things like this. It was against everything she had thought herself but she just couldn't help it. She was attracted to this man for some reason and she knew it. And besides this trip was about relaxing and letting loose and she would do just that. So for today, just for today she would let herself feel everything without holding back. With that she smiled and turned her attention back to the lake in front of her.Leo looked at the woman beside him. She looked so happ
Leo looked into her eyes. She smiled back at him. A genuine smile from happiness radiated her face and made her blue eyes sparkle like jewels. He wasn't sure he had ever seen such a beautiful sight before. "Yes", he replied her. They left the stall and continued their sight seeing. They went to the Martello Alley. A place that appreciated local art. After looking at some art pieces for a while, they decided to get something to eat. They entered a restaurant and ordered something light just to have as a snack before dinner which was very soon. As they ate, Cassie happily chatted about some of the things they had seen while Leo stared at her lovestruck barely replying. Cassie soon realized her companion wasn't really responding to her and looked up only to find Leo staring at her intensely. Seeing that Cassie had caught him, he immediately looked down embarrassed. Cassie smiled seeing his reaction. Could this man be any cuter? She smiled again and stared at him.
"He already checked out ma'am", the receptionist told Cassie. Cassie looked at the woman and calming herself down she asked, "Really?", she still couldn't believe it. "Yes, this morning he checked out. He looked like he was in a hurry to catch a flight", the receptionist replied politely. No, Cassie wouldn't believe it. He had actually left. He had left without saying goodbye. After everything yesterday he had left just like that. Since Cassie was drunk last night she couldn't remember much, but she remembered her had carried her to her room and she had said somethings. What she said exactly? She couldn't remember but she didn't think she had said something that would make him leave just like that so why? Why had he just left her like that? She had woken up this morning with a headache only to see that he was gone. She had searched her room and had rushed down to the reception desk not minding how she looked only to find out that her fears were actually true.
"So I think I know a way to find him", Sarah announced as she barged into Cassie's office. Cassie sighed,"Sarah what do you think you are doing? This is my office you can't just barge in here like that. And who are you talking about?""Your mystery romance of course""Ah", Cassie signed once again. She was beginning to regret telling Sarah what happened. Because as you can see, she gets a little over excited when it come to things like this. Now she was talking about looking for him."Sarah, please just leave it okay? I really don't want to", Cassie attempted to make her drop the topic."What do you mean you don't want to? You have to find him then punch him in the face for ever leaving like that. Like seriously how could he just leave like that?""Aish I swear if I was you and I get my hands on him I'll wack him on that nice smooth butt of his", Sarah said."What?! Sarah!""What? Don't tell me you didn't notice how round and
Somewhere in Country Z"Sir", the man greeted an older man who sat in front of a window.The older man slowly turned back"Are they still together?". he asked."No they've since returned from Kingston and are no longer together", he replied."Good. And what about the attacks we staged within a branch of their gang?""It was effective. The Minettis are currently invested in finding out the people behind it as they lost a lot""And the information?""We made sure they only got the information we purposefully released to them""Good. Now keep watching them and hold off on the attacks for now""Yes sir", the man left the room.The older man sighed and turned back to the window. He closed his eyes and drifted off into his memories."No....please...no"Country M"So you are saying, if we do not make changes in our company's strategy, when the stock market peak come
48 Hours before"Hey bro, what's up?", Edgar asked a very tired looking Leo."Hm", Leo acknowledged his presence without even looking at him."Woah. You look like quite stressed out", Edgar noted."You can't even begin to imagine. With dad away settling the investors overseas and also working on something secret I don't know about, I have to take care of everything here and many other major issues. It's taxing", Leo replied."Too bad dude. See this is why I would never want to be you.""Of course. You are better off just being irresponsible and childish", Leo fired"Hey! That hurt you know?", Edgar said pretending to look hurt."Whatever. What do you want this time? Why did you come?""Heol! Are you trying to say I can't come to see you without wanting something?", Edgar asked pitifully"Yes", Leo replied blankly. "What did you do?", he asked"Nothing! Ah you really don't have much fate in me. Well for your
Knock knock. "Enter" "Miss Turner, the interview will begin shortly." "Alright. You may leave.", Cassie responded. She sighed before trying to call Sarah again. Beep Beep. The sound of the line being disconnected came through on her phone. "Once again there was no reply", she sighed again before putting down her phone. She couldn't really blame Sarah, she was a bit too harsh to her last time. Cassie sighed again before standing up from her chair. She put herself together and headed towards the room where the interview was going to take place. Today they were holding an interview for the post of Assistant to the Marketing Manager. The last one was fired due to his incompetence. And to prevent that from happening again she wanted to oversee this interview herself. She wouldn't be the one conducting the interview. She would just sit on the sidelines and watch the procedure noting down some important things or anyone who pa
"Who came to see you?", Leo asked with his brows raised."Miss Lee, Miss Turner's friend I believe", Edgar replied nonchalantly"Oh? And what did she want?", he asked relaxing on his chair."She wanted you.""What?!", Leo nearly choked on his saliva."Oh?", Edgar raised his eyes to him"I didn't mean it that way. She came asking about you.""Asking about me?""Yeah. She wanted to know your information."Leo thought about it for a while before he slowly asked in a low voice,"Well.... was she asking for herself or did she say someone sent her?"Edgar eyed his friend for a long time. Looks like Leo's feelings for Cassie ran deep. He clearly wanted to know if she was looking for him. Could this actually be a good thing?"She said she was there for a friend." Leo's eyes sparked"But I don't exactly think Miss Turner actually sent her, if that's what you wanted to know"Leo raised his eyes.
Minetti MansionLeo sat in front of his father. His father had been silent since he arrived and honestly it was beginning to get on his nerves. He was not in the mood for whatever mind games his father wanted to play with him, he thought as he sighed wearily. He glanced at his father again.Growing up, Leo couldn't exactly his father was the best father. Heck! His father wasn't even a normal father much less the best. At a very young age Leo was already being trained for when he would take over his father's position in the Mafia. At age 7, he was already being trained in martial arts. Age 10, and his father already thought he was old enough to use a gun. He remembered on his 12th birthday his father had gifted him a gun as a present. "Definitely not a normal father", Leo smirked. But then again his family wasn't a normal one anyway. But regardless of how weird Leo's father might have been, he had loved his mother. And that was one thing Leo respected about him. He had
"Nothing?", Cassie asked as she looked at Sarah. "Yes nothing. I couldn't find a record of any Leo around either Lucian Santino; which was quite understandable at first because it seemed they weren't too close but with Edgar Monroe? I was expecting to find something since they seemed really close but I couldn't find anything. It's almost as if such a person doesn't exist around them.", she replied. Cassie fell into deep thought. It's either Leo was no one significant which seemed very unlikely because they should at least be able to find something about him if he was ordinary or he wasn't an ordinary person at all. Then who was he? He was acquaintances with two very powerful people and now they couldn't find anything about him. "Anyways I think maybe I didn't dig deep enough. Maybe I should try...." "No don't", Cassie said "What? Why?", Sarah asked her dumbfounded. "No need. I shouldn't focus myself on finding some man anyway. It's not my way.
"He's here! Everyone to your stations!". These were the shouts that rang through the precinct as the police officers readied themselves for the arrival of one of the most important figure in their entire State Security Department.He walked in with a powerful aura. Calm yet powerfully he headed straight for the Chief's office ignoring all the people who had lined to greet him."Woah. Who is he?", one of the younger policemen asked an older one."Sealey", the older one replied."Detective James Sealey. One of the most brilliant detective in our entire State Department if not the entire country", he continued in awe."Woah", the younger one responded surprised."Then what is he doing here?", another young officer asked."I heard he was recently transferred to our District on Special assignment", the elder one replied."Really?", the officer responded as he looked towards the Chief's office where the man was currently shaking hand
