~LEONA~Dave?What is he doing here? I was supposed to meet Lando not him and how's this even possible?"What are you doing here?" I asked and looked around.The place is really not scary like I saw it in the dark. With the lights on, is really a beautiful mansion with a lot of cars parked inside and a red carpet.Instead of answering, he grabbed my wrists and led me to the backyard where there was a beautiful hideous garden.When we were there he let go and brushed past me roughly."How dare you do this to me, Leo! How could you? You were leaving me." His hands were fixed in his hair and he was pulling it frustratingly.Does this mean Yolando is somewhere around here and Dave just arrived earlier than him?But how did he know I was coming here?"You weren't picking my calls..""Shut up! Just shut up!" He turned to me, fuming." That's not enough reason, okay? I wanted to stand with you through this. I meant what I said to you, everything. But you still don't believe me a
~LEONA~" That was when I was high on your beautiful lies and blinded by you but I recovered Dave and now I can see beyond them." I was irate." It's not like that Leona." He took a step closer. " We can talk this out okay, just don't go."" There's nothing to talk about. I want nothing to do with you anymore okay." I didn't care about those who were watching.Dave got to understand this, it's not about me but his innocent daughter and the family he could make.I don't want to be an obstacle in anyone's relationship therefore I have to know my place. I have to stay away.I sighed as despondency consumed me.It was a mistake sleeping with him. I can't make yet another mistake.As if the universe were suddenly on my side, a car came to a halt in front of me.I hurried into it when I saw Dave running to me."Where to madam?" The driver asked."Just take me away from this place," I begged.I brought my phone out and turned it on. My hands tapped on Raymond's number and I waited for
~DAVE~I blinked multiple times as I tried to let Leona's disappearance sink in.Leona is really gone and it's all my fault.I shook my head and stepped back a little as Raymond's suspicious eyes bore into mine.I demanded honesty from Leona and practically forced her to tell me everything about her which she did, something she was not so comfortable with, but she did.And what did I do? I omitted telling her about Katherine and her...well our daughter despite how clean she came with me. I wished I had clarified everything to her then she wouldn't have left me. But I didn't know everything was going to blow up in my face the way it did. I didn't know mum was going to take such a step. She ruined everything for me. What perfect timing, I was going to make Leona mine in front of everyone. I was going to engage her but then...As for mum and Kathy, I will give them my piece of mind later.However, I'm glad I cleared that misunderstanding. There's no hell of a way I w
~RAYMOND~I shifted my eyes from Mr. Anosova's retreating form and faced the computers in front of me. This looks weird. I haven't done any of this before and I'm finding it hard to monitor what is actually going on.Each computer was showing different videos and my eyes were supposed to be monitoring them. How's that going to be possible? I only have two eyes, not four or more?I heard footsteps behind so I averted my eyes slowly to the back but quickly brought it back when I saw from the corners of my eyes one of the videos pausing then the screen went off and came back on."What was that?" I asked the person who just came in."I think the camera there has been wrecked. We should call the boss."I shove my hand into my pocket to bring my phone out but remembered I don't have his number."You don't have to use your personal phone. You should've plugged this in your ears." He took an earbud and fixed it into my ears." Now talk, he's going to hear."Strange." Hello."" Anything suspi
~DAVE~It was the bastard. I just knew it!"Oh wow! Look who's here? Fucking Dave Anosova!" His voice echoed in the early morning street."Do you intend on killing me before the actual fun begins? Who does that?" I questioned with my hands on my waist.He presented a crooked smirk. "Only a coward does that, buddy.""It's good to know who you are." " Don't get me wrong. Why would I kill you? You know I don't do that. I was coming to you because I knew you can't wait just as I can't either."He lighted a cigar."What do you mean?"" Nothing, I just happened to know how that tiny brain of yours works so I decided to come and meet you to save you the trouble and look, I met you on the way. You're still as impatient as you were before." He remarked." You know I don't like to waste time."" So well well, we meet again." He laughed, not moving from where he sat as he continuously puffed smoke into the air." But it's different this time."" Yes, but who cares? I'm going
~LEONA~When I finally woke up I felt like I've been captured in a trunk as I couldn't move my body.Every part of my body was hurting and my head was worse. It took me a minute before I recollected what happened and I shot up from my sleeping position and looked around but there was no sight of Yolando or his driver.I can't believe he kept me in his car all night... I stopped when I saw that it wasn't the same car and if it was the same car, then the mirrors have been fixed but I know Yolando won't waste his money to repair a car. He'll just abandon it. So it's a different car.Out of all the places I thought I would wake up to I never imagined it would be in a car. I was thinking I would wake up in one of his torture rooms all tied up in a chair connected with spikes.I moved my hands to my head but flinched when I felt a rough fabric. I'm sure it was his gun he inflicted the pain on my head with.I tried the door of the car and it opened. I was surprised. Why would
~DAVE~"I'd like to have a word with her before you take her, Lando!" I shouted and they stopped walking.He turned and smirked crookly at me."You're pathetic, you know that right?" Lando laughed." Just excuse us for a moment."" Try as hard as you want, Anosova. We all know you've run out of luck for good this time. Nothing you say will change her mind but I can give you another chance to give her your pathetic speech. Who knows, it might just work. Try your luck, buddy even though it looks like you've run out of it.."I almost thanked him for this mistake he just made.Lando shouldn't have given his permission so quickly because I won't leave any stone unturned to bring Leona to my side.I'm going to knock every fear from her and make her see just how powerless Lando is without his guns and men. He walked to his car and when he was about to get in, he turned to us."I forgot to ask the queen if she is okay with talking to you. Pardon me, my lady." He said dramatica
~LEONA~I rushed to the front to open the door for him."What are you about?" He scowled slightly."Opening the door for you," I replied. Yeah. I know how that sounds thanks to gender roles but he's hurt." I'm driving. I'm not handicapped." He said with finality in his tired voice but he pouted." Are you crazy? I can't let you drive." I argued. His entire shirt was almost soaked with blood." No, I'm already injured, I can't afford to get thrown into a ditch." The difficulty with which his voice came was visible this time."And what exactly do you mean?" I frowned. "Exactly what you're thinking."Only If he knew how good I am behind the wheel." Then it'll be better if I throw us into a ditch than allow you to drive in this state." I rounded the car and sat behind the wheel. Fortunately, the key was already in the ignition.I waited for him to join but he just stood there. God! This man."What are you still standing there for?" I groaned in irritation."I don't… trust you to drive
