Entering their room with a tired Alexa dragging her feet on the ground, Leo kept thinking about the mole. He hasn't gotten the chance to talk to Emily about it yet. He watched as Alexa sat down looking very exhausted, and it made him wonder how she even tries carrying herself up sometimes or even walking. He's always scared of her falling.He walked up to her and sat beside her. "Feeling okay?"Alexa looked at him and nodded even though her breathing was uneven. "Yeah, I am. Just feeling really tired.""You want me to bathe you, and afterward give you a massage?""Um,...the bathing part, I don't think so, but the massage, I'm okay with it," Alexa replied with an awkward smile on her face.Leo furrowed his brows at her. "My love, why so shy? I can bathe you. We can bathe each other, or just shower together."Alexa frowned at him, but inwardly, she was smiling. Her husband just refers to her as 'my love'. "Um, that phase, I don't think I'm ready yet.""What phase? The my love part, or t
"What? What are you talking about? I thought...""If we keep waiting, I keep losing money, and right now we've got a big-time client in need of transportation to get his drugs to the country. I insisted on helping him.""But, sir, not long ago, your goods were confiscated."Mr. Hodge shook his head. "I think their focus has been diverted. I don't think I need a negative answer from you, William."William sighed getting scared. "Um, okay. I'll get things ready.""What things? And who are you talking to?"William immediately turned to Vincent with wide eyes. His heart began beating profusely, and painfully. "Uh, to someone.""Who?" Vincent asked again.William blinked. "Someone....unimportant. It's a friend of mine who's celebrating a birthday."Vincent nodded not knowing if he should buy that. William has a lot of friends, and unfortunately, he doesn't keep tabs on all of them. He wouldn't know if he was lying about the friend celebrating his birthday.William just stood still hoping h
10th October. Sunday.The next morning, Alexa kept looking at Leonard in confusion. His face was slightly bruised. When did he get into a fight?"Did you go anywhere this morning?" She asked.That was the question Leo expected her to ask since he planned it all. He made sure Alexa didn't meet him on the bed, and he cooked breakfast for her, so when she woke up, she'll think he went out and got into a fight so he nodded. "As a matter of fact, yes." He answered, dropping the food beside her."Where did you go so early that you got into a fight?" Alexa asked worriedly."I went for morning runs. I needed it. And then I met a guy that annoyed me, and we got into a fight." Leo replied to her and sat beside her close to the food on the bed."What was the fight about?"Leo shook his head. "Details aren't important. Just know that I didn't mean it, and it was all defense. The guy was just mad. For one, I think he mistook me for someone else."Alexa nodded. "Okay, but you need to put ice on tha
Alexa POV.I sat on the couch as I got home with a sigh. I had to meet up with Phoebe since she happened to be the only one committed to the baby shower thing.Something I equally find weird.Even though I told her I don't want it to be too grand, and just want it to be between friends, I know Phoebe has her own plans for it.And even with the way things are, I just know too many celebrations shouldn't be needed. No need for design, and whatnot. Just friends, and gifts. Cakes, food, drinks, and fun."Babe." Leo came walking down the stairs. "You're here." He said walking up to me, and I nodded.He nodded and sat beside me. "You stayed long in the office?"I shook my head. "No. I met up with Phoebe."He nodded and leaned against the couch.Everything I learned today is still stuck, and disturbing my thoughts. I have a feeling Leo knows about it."I hear godfather is into illegal things." I dropped.He looked at me in surprise which looks somehow like a shock. Of course, he knows."Wher
11th October. Monday.Mr. Hodge nodded. "Yeah. Prepare for it. By next week the drugs will be arriving."William equally nodded without choice. "Although, doesn't it have a specific date? I'm pretty sure you're gonna need me to be one hundred percent ready.""I'm gonna need you to be ready all the time, William. I'll call when the time has arrived..." His phone began vibrating. He looked at it to see Lion calling. He put it back in his ears. "I'll call back."He picked Lion's call. "What is it?""Boss, we have a problem.""What problem?""It's Randolph, sir. He was arrested."Mr. Hodge widened his eyes at the news. "Arrested? How come?""I don't know. He was supposed to do as you commanded, but he ended up caught by the police."Mr. Hodge's teeth gritted at the news. "Damn it." He hung the call-up and called Pete.Levi looked around while Florence just watched knowing she's been cast aside. Emily too was watching wondering between Audrey, and Levi who the snitch is."Hello boss, I'm a
Vincent couldn't stop thinking about Carmen since that day he coincidentally met Leonard again. Truly, Carmen explained but he could see through her lies thanks to the fact that he was informed by her she's been pregnant for two months and...That was stupid because that month she supposedly got pregnant, and he wasn't around. He was on a full-month trip.He knew Carmen was lying to his face, but he just decided to let it go. He wants to know exactly who the father of that child is.His phone began ringing, and he smirked seeing it was a call he's been expecting.He picked up his phone from his desk and answered the call. "Got something from me?""I've been watching her as you wanted, sir. But all I can see is her associating with friends.""Friends? Any boy included?""No, sir. All girls."Vincent sighed and nodded. "Just keep tailing her, and if your cover is blown, then no payment.""Yes, sir." Vincent hung up and banged his desk in anger....Carmen went into a hidden spot and
Leonard let out a shaky breath upon seeing Alexa asleep as he arrived. Driving back home, his head has been filled with a lot of thoughts.It hasn't exactly dawned on him about what he did to his wife until he let it all out to Sasha. It was like a burden slightly releasing him.It scared him, but he knows she's gonna find out eventually. What scared him the more is what will happen to her when she finds out. News like that could break her, and wouldn't be good for her condition.He walked and sat on his bed after pulling his jacket off.Alexa isn't gonna forgive him. She's gonna hate him, and he knows that. The dreams she's even having don't even help things. He could tell his wife is days or weeks away from finding out it was him she saw the day she had the accident.He brought his phone out of his pocket as it began ringing. It was Owen."Hey." He picked."I only called to inform you about the drugs that'll be passing our borders this week.""Seriously?"Owen nodded. "Yeah. He's st
Four days later.15th October. Friday."Boss.""Make sure you circle around her. Get rid of her guards, and bring her to me.""Should we be rough to her? She's heavily pregnant.""Do you have any conscience, Steve?"Steve shook his head. "I'll do what you want, boss.""Good, now be fast about it."Steve hung the call-up and looked at his men. "Two of you, go to the other side of the mall, we'll stay here. Once she's out, we attack."They all nodded, and go do as he ordered.In no time, their target came out. "Take it to the car, thank you." She told one of her guards."There are only four guards. It won't be hard. You guys attack, and we'll follow." Steve said over the ear pod."Roger that."They both came out of their hiding spot causing Alexa to look."Ma'am, get inside the car!" She suddenly heard making her heart begin to beat fast."Oh, God." She began walking more closer to the car as fast as her legs could carry her, but she was immediately cornered by Steve. "Boo!"Her heart s
