Unrelenting

Clara was left speechless as she didn't know how to react to what he had just told her. She and Leonardo locked eyes for a brief moment. "I guess I'll see you around, Clara," Leonardo said after a while, breaking the stifling silence that had descended upon them after he revealed his intentions to her. Grinning, he added. "And please, I hope you would heed my pleas. Give her a second chance. We all deserve it." He winked.Clara said nothing, instead her eyes only stared coldly at Leonardo as he retracted and made his way back to his black posh car, parked by the curb, on the other side of the road.With one last glance and wave from him to her, Leonardo hopped into his car and revved the engine onto the road. Soon, he had driven out of sight. Clara stood frozen, gazing in a faraway look as she processed all Leonardo had told her earlier. Path to redemption? Everything began to dawn on her.Leonardo's visit made Clara realize he had never been in love with her in the first place. She

A genuine smile spread across his face. "Nina..." He drawled, reclining in his seat as he watched Hayley approach his desk.Hayley greeted him. "Hi. Good morning." "Morning, baby. How are you?" Adrian asked warmly. "I'm fine. Thank you," Hayley replied, her eyes fixed on his expectantly, waiting for him to continue the conversation. But he remained quiet. After a moment, Hayley spoke up.

You just keep looking more beautiful with each passing day. What's your secret? Hmm?"Hayley chuckled incredulously, her heart melting at his co

Futile Efforts

Leonardo was seated in his office, his eyes fixed on the device in his hand in disbelief as he read the text message, one of his trusted aid had sent to him that morning while he waited for Hayley to arrive.'He stole from you, boss. How do we handle him?'Leonardo read the message for the 100th time, still in disbelief that one of his trusted employees and friends was being accused of stealing from him. Leonardo couldn't believe it. How dare he?Settling the phone in his hand more, his finger hovered around the keyboard hesitantly as he contemplated a response message. He felt betrayed.Eventually, he typed back to Bob. 'What do you mean he stole from me? Paolo is well aware of the consequences of committing such acts!'He sent the message, his face already contorting with annoyance. It didn't take long before his phone beeped again, signaling it was another message notification. Leonardo opened the message. It was Bob's instant reply to his question.'I don't know, boss. Why don't

Hurt again

Hayley was completely engrossed in her portrait painting when she overheard the gossip of two of her colleagues. She pretended she was still solely focused on her work, but she couldn't help but listen to their conversation.MJ, One of her colleagues, said to the other, Mitchell in hushed tones. "I'm telling you, It's Davina, I'm sure. I saw her going into the new executive's office. I can place a hundred dollars that they will hook up in there. She will seduce him. That's her niche. He's an executive and her kind of man after all."Hayley stiffened, her eyes growing wide and her heart thudding rapidly against her chest as she processed their words. What!!?Hayley heard Mitchell, chiming in, only fueling Hayley's disbelief. "You don't need to bet on it, MJ. I believe and I'm certain too. I mean, who could resist that hot, ass fine lady. If I were a man, I'd fall for her seduction too. Well, unless Executive Damian is gay, of course." She said and they chuckled in amusement. But their

Good News!

The following day.Adrian still couldn't believe his eyes as he kept staring at the computer screen in front of him in disbelief. The numbers displayed on the screen reciprocated his gaze unwavering, indicating his eyes weren't playing tricks with him. Adrian was astonished, his lips slightly parted as he blinked severally. A million-dollar profits made in just three weeks since Leonardo joined MF Arts. He couldn't believe it.Adrian felt like jumping for joy and rushing over to Leonardo's office to embrace him, but he managed to restrain himself, coercing himself to contain his overwhelming happiness. As he sat back on the seat, his grin widened as his eyes continued to stare at the computer screen. Leonardo had worked a miracle indeed. He had just saved Adrian and his company from bankruptcy. Adrian couldn't fathom how he achieved such success in that short time. But he couldn't help but feel grateful for the day he had decided to employ him as the new executive.Leonardo was not o

The fight for Power

Leonardo was seated in his office, his phone against his ear with an expressionless gaze etched on his face as he spoke into the gadget indifferently. "It has come to my knowing, brother, that you blackmailed one of my subjects and coerced him into stealing from me, Lorenzo. Have you lost your mind?" Leonardo bit out, in a calm yet annoyed tone, his anger palpable. After receiving the text from Bob the previous day about Paolo's confession, Leonardo asked Bob to investigate and uncover the truth. It didn't take long before they confirmed Paolo's story, that he was telling them the truth, revealing it was indeed all Lorenzo's doing. For the first time in a long time, Leonardo heard anyone's plea for mercy as he decided to have compassion towards Paolo and let him off the hook. But not without striping him of his position and title in his company, and further banishing him from Clasold City. Despite the punishment, Paolo was grateful and relieved he could return home to his family wi

Confrontation

Speaking of the devil, a rap came on his door, disrupting Leonardo's thoughts as his gaze trailed to the entrance. He wanted to respond but the door already opened before he could utter a word, revealing his furious ex-wife. However, the expression on Hayley's face was evidence enough that he was in trouble again. But he couldn't help the relief that surged through him as his eyes locked onto her.He sat up straighter, staring at Hayley, his previous stern expression dissolving into a faint smile."Mi reina..." He called out softly, grateful to have her in his office. But Hayley wasn't having any of it. "Stop!" She barked, closing the door behind her as she made her way toward his desk, her eyes blazing with annoyance and irritation. "When will you stop? When will you put an end to all of this, Leonardo? For fuck sake." Hayley asked him angrily as she stood before his desk, glaring daggers at him.Leonardo felt a pang of remorse as he thought Hayley was referring to what happened

Double date

The atmosphere on that Saturday evening was gloomy, coupled with the awkward silence that enveloped the four individuals, seated around the dining table as they all tried to conceal their true feelings of animosity, remorse, and regret, except for Adrian, who was genial as he was unaware of the tension among the other three_ Leonardo, Hayley, and Clara."I'm glad you eventually decided to join us, Clara. I was afraid you wouldn't come." Adrian said warmly to Clara, who was seated across him at the square table for four.Leonardo and Hayley remained silent, their gazes avoiding eye contact, while Clara chuckled hesitantly and nervously, turning to face Adrian. "Of course, I'm here. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression yesterday. I just had a lot on my plate to deal with... but here I am to celebrate this success with you. Congratulations again, Adrian." Clara replied, forcing a smile as her gaze remained fixed on naive Adrian. Although Clara's outward expression was a warm smile

Chaos

"You've got to be fucking kidding me..."Clara's voice trailed off as Hayley exclaimed in shock. "What?" Leonardo was quite surprised too as he questioned Adrian. "What? I don't understand. What are you talking about?" He asked, his gray orbs sparkling in demand. The fact that Leonardo also had no idea and had exclaimed in shock, somehow made Clara feel embarrassed. He was rejecting her again. But that feeling of embarrassment was soon replaced by great annoyance as she redirected her gaze to Adrian. "The fuck, Adrian! Don't tell me you made me come here for this! You told me you were introducing me to one of your friends." She reminded him firmly, her annoyance palpable.Adrian simply nodded, retracting his hand in the air and staring at Clara. "Yes, I did. And here he is, Damian Logan.""Are you fucking with me right now? You said he was someone new!" She barked.Adrian retorted, his smile fading. "Yes, he is. Isn't he? You barely know him.""No! I think you're the one who barely

Miserable Night

Hayley returned to her living room that night, her distress and tiredness palpable. She had just checked in on Daisy who was already tucked into bed by her babysitter, Freya. It was past 9 pm when Hayley glanced at the wall clock to check the time.Her face contorted with anguish and bitterness as she took a seat on the couch. Her heart was thudding rapidly, and her head still throbbed with ache from all the chaos that had happened that evening. She regretted ever attending the stupid double date, especially since she had no idea Clara was going to show up there later, unaware. Adrian had told her that Clara had declined his invitation, thus leading Hayley to believe everything would be fine between herself, Adrian, and Leonardo. She thought she could handle them, coupled with Leonardo's cooperation. However, her plans were ruined by Clara's arrival. Hayley was taken aback when she saw Clara there later. She had considered leaving immediately, but she couldn't bring herself to do it
