LESLIE'S POV One Hundred Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars?Where did he expect me to see that amount of money from? I have never seen a million dollars in my life. Hell, I haven't even seen five hundred thousand dollars. Yet, he expected me to pay this ridiculous amount?He was really as ruthless as they claimed he was.“Tell me, Leslie, what do you think about this wonderful gift?” Liliana chuckled behind me and I glanced at her. “Why don't you go ahead and start looking for money, huh? You have very limited time. You will be summoned to court next week.”“You have finally put yourself in trouble, you stupid girl,” Mother laughed. “This is your karma for coming from such an immoral woman.”I looked at all of the people that I called my family, hoping to see the tiniest bit of sympathy on their faces but they were all hardened against me.“Father,” I say to the one person who has always been indifferent towards me.

LESLIE'S POV Was I dreaming?Have I woken up in a parallel universe where I could have been so daring as to do something like this?“This…this,” I said as I grabbed the newspaper. What could I possibly say? It's not true?Liliana laughed loudly, attracting my attention. No wonder she had that look in her eyes earlier. When did she find out?

I tried to stop her but she stupidly clinged to him, claiming he was her boyfriend,” Liliana chuckles. “I had to let her be.”I closed my eyes as mortification washed over me.

I should have known someone like me could only sit back and watch when I was being bullied and mistreated.“Do you have any idea what you've done?” Mother screamed in my face. “If not for the Guilds’ close

LESLIE’S POV The man's lips were soft and felt rather good to touch. My intention was just to press my lips to his for a little while and then pull away but now….I found it hard to do exactly that.My hands tightened around his neck as I unconsciously kissed him deeper. The man in question freezes and I couldn't feel his hands on my body, meaning that his hands were by his side.Shit, what am I doing?I moved my lips away from him and took a step back but the man suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me back into him before claiming my lips again.My eyes widened as he delved into my lips with the expertise of someone that has done this quite a number of times. My eyes closed and I returned his kisses, lick for lick, bite for bite, suck for suck. His hand goes behind my head as he angled me so he can devour my lips properly.The sound of murmurs behind me had my eyes snapping in shock. What the hell? I pushed the man and turned back to see our audience looking at us with wide eyes.I

LESLIE'S POVI grabbed another serving of champagne and hurried out of the kitchen. I kept my head bowed as I served the guests what they wanted. Mother said no one must know I was a daughter of the Webster family. It would be scandalous if the world came to know how they treated their own daughter.But I wondered, if they didn't want anyone to know so bad, why do they do it?I couldn't help raising my head when I heard applause ringing out in the room. I stared at the front of the room where my younger sister, Liliana and the CEO of Guild Group, Alexander Guild, stood, their hands enclosed in a handshake, marking the beginning of their partnership.My eyes misted over and I looked away, unable to take it anymore.
