The Marriage Contract/Faith Osanife
Flashback. (18th August. Wednesday)LEONARD'S POV.I walked inside my father's office with a little smile on my face, since I was deeply happy with the news I got today, and the funny thing, twas more than one.The universe is really working in my favor."I told you not to come back here, Leonard." My dad told me, as I walked to where he sat on his office chair."I just came to give you some information," I told him."Hope it is the information I want.""Alexa is pregnant." I dropped not wanting to prolong it further.He tilted his head at me. "Pregnant?"I nodded. "Yeah. Surprise."He furrowed his brows at me. "She's awake?"I nodded.He narrowed his eyes at me expecting me to say more, and I do know what he wants me to say. "She doesn't remember anything, dad. She doesn't know how she got into the accident."He heaved a breath of relief. "What a very bad job you did, son."I looked away from him.He chuckled. "You know I didn't send you to get her pregnant, right?"I looked back at

Alexa woke up and groaned as she felt an ache in her back. She sighed looking around the unfamiliar place, her eyes still quite blurry."Hmm." She moaned as her back kept aching her. It made her breathing uneven."She's awake at last," Steve told Lion.Something settled on Alexa, causing her to stumble on realization. She was supposed to be heading home, but then she remembered...she looked around, her eyes becoming clear. She tried to talk, but something was stopping her. She tried to move, but something was equally stopping her. She felt her hands tied at the back.Her eyes widened, and she looked around at the unfamiliar people. She couldn't voice out anything.Lion and Steve stood up. "Boss she's awake." Lion said on the call.Owen didn't know what to do, although he knows Alexa doesn't know him, so he was safe, but the question is what Mr. Hodge will do about it. He can be as scary as his father.Alexa could tell what was happening. She was kidnapped, but in her condition, trying

16th October. Saturday.Leonard couldn't sleep all through the night seeing as his wife was not by his side. It bugged him to think about what they were putting her through, or how many consciences his father have left.The stupid, and useless guards he hired to protect her couldn't even do their jobs. His eyes on them felt like death was staring at all of them. They were scared."Where did you train? Aren't you supposed to be good at martial arts? How on earth did you let my wife slip away?" Leonard asked looking down on them as they knelt, his eyes filled with anger.One of them looked up at him. "It was unexpected. They just came out of nowhere."Leonard scoffed looking at him. "Isn't it part of your job to be always prepared for the unexpected? What kind of lame excuse..."He heard a car ride into his compound making him sigh. "It seems your boss has arrived."All of them sigh out of relief knowing they were slowly getting off the claws of Leonard Hodge.Leonard watched as their b

Sasha walked into the warehouse where Alexa was kept. She was looking tired, and weak. She turned towards Steve. "Has she been fed?"Steve shook his head. "No. She's refusing it."Sasha looked at Alexa who just stared at her. "Get me food for her, I'll try making her eat."Steve nodded and left.Sasha sighed wondering why her dad just kept her here. He could have found a different place with a room and a bed for her to lie on.That's another idea she's gonna have to give to him.Sasha walked and removed the cloth from her mouth. "I'm really sorry for the unkind treatment."Alexa gulped looking around her. "You're Leonard's sister, aren't you?"Sasha smiled and nodded. "One, and I'm hoping only."Alexa nodded and looked away. "I can't eat in this place, especially with the way I'm tied up like a criminal, or someone hard to fight against. As you can see, I'm harmless."Sasha nodded. "I know, but my dad can be really indifferent. I'll see what I can do about it, but for now, you have to

"Noooooo!!!!" Mr. Park yelled upon receiving the bad news. "How did this happen? You promised nothing would go wrong!!"Mr. Hodge sighed and looked at Lion. "Did you see anyone familiar to suspect about how this happened?"Owen narrowed his eyes remembering seeing Vincent Creo out the window. Although he didn't say it out because he knew it was another one of Mr. Hodge's plans which he didn't know about, but he was sure."I saw someone out the window," Owen informed.Mr. Hodge looked at him. "Who?""Vincent Creo. He was there. He brought the cops." Owen told them."You saw him?" Lion asked in surprise.Owen nodded. "When the cops attacked, and we were fighting back, I was sure I saw him out the window. William Creo's brother."Mr. Hodge looked away in thought. Rage pounded in him like a drumbeat. "That means William has been compromised."Mr. Park was brimming in hostility, and he scoffed at Mr. Hodge. "I was wrong to trust you. Because of you, I might not be safe here."Mr. Hodge loo

17th October. Sunday."Hello.""Leonard. Have you seen the breaking news?" Emily asked.Leonard nodded with a sigh. "Yeah. I'm watching it right now.""Why didn't we expect this? Of course, William could also be collateral damage."Leonard blinked. He expected it. He had a gut that his father could end up killing William, cause it was bound to happen. William got himself involved, so he should have been prepared for what could happen to him.There was no other way to hinder his father's plan. No other way to frustrate his dad."Leo. Are you there?"Leo immediately nodded. "Yeah. I'm here. I've decided to end things.""Seriously?" Emily asked in disbelief."I've obtained evidence enough to sentence my dad to life imprisonment. I don't want anyone dying again." Leo said truthfully."So how, no let me rephrase. When?""Alexa. The police are gonna be the ones to save my wife from my father. I'll choose a perfect day for that to happen, so stay alert."Emily nodded. "Yeah, but do we have w

Three days later.20th October. Wednesday.Mr. Hodge paced around the porch of his hidden mansion, thoughts gone completely wild in his brain. He could tell something bad was about to happen.

All the money, and clients he has lost, not to talk about the assets in his plans whom he killed to protect himself.Now there's little help coming in, and even those helps are having cold feet, and killing them is no longer an option. He needs to withdraw. He can't even believe he's getting to the decision to withdraw.After everything.

Owen's phone began ringing. He looked around and saw everyone busy with their own thing. He sighed wondering why Leo is calling. He warned him.He saw a hidden spot, and decided to go there, and answer the call knowing it was important since anything concerning Mr. Hodge is important.He got to the spot and answered the call. "I told you not to call.""You should find a way to get out of there, Owen. The police are on their way."Owen's eyes widened. "What? How's that possible? I didn't tell you.""Well, I'm surprised about that seeing as I'm sure you knew my wife is in my dad's hands. Thankfully, all my hope wasn't on you, so if you know what's best for you, start leaving so as not to be caught in that situation."Owen nodded. "Are you sure it'll work though? What if he escapes?""He shouldn't, Owen.""But your wife. She's not in a good condition, and I'm pretty sure your dad will drag her around.""I'll be on my way there," Leo informed.Owen nodded. "Instead of escaping, I'm gonna

Two weeks later, and a day later.(9th November. Tuesday.)Alexa sighed for the nth time getting frustrated at how her husband being clueless when it comes to pregnancy is affecting her.She's being on the bed like she felt tied to it. The only reason that'll make her get off is when she's going to have a bath. He won't even let her do that on her own.Even on Halloween, they were indoors.It's obviously because of his fear of something going wrong, but it's somehow a bit too much.She just hopes this upcoming Thanksgiving won't be as boring.Since entering this month, he's been so focused on his wife. Does what she tells him to do without complaining. You could tell he was on edge since, in less than two months, Alexa will be pushing three babies out. He knew it wouldn't be an easy thing.He even started checking on her company for her, since there was no one managing it at the main time.Because of his wife, he began wearing suit.The door opened, and Leo entered making Alexa smile.

As Alexa and Leo both lie down quietly, Alexa couldn't help, but wonder what exactly her husband is thinking about. He was in deep thought. Like his mind traveled him to a faraway land.She rested on her side, her hand on him with her head in the crook of his neck. "You're now acting like me. Thinking too much.""Your stomach is poking me, and I'm not comfortable with this position," Leo said truthfully, causing her to frown. He turned her back to her old position and rested on his side looking at her pouted face while caressing her side. "I know you've been annoyed by me..."Alexa looked at him. "You shouldn't mind me honestly. I'm just being childish."Leo nodded. "I'm glad you know."Alexa sighed. "I'm pretty sure you know thanksgiving is coming up soon. We're not gonna be staying home all through right?""We are. It's cold, and dangerous outside."Alexa's eyes drooped. "But Leo...""We are gonna be celebrating it since it's Thanksgiving anyways. All your friends will be here. Eve
