Chapter Forty Four

Leonardo

Manolo had stepped on my toes and I wasn't going to let it slide. He threatened me with the woman I love and the child I was hoping to see soon. My heir. I considered it an insult when he called me to tell me he had taken them. I was about to lash out at my security when I remembered it was Manolo after all. He must have sneaked past them. The mansion was heavily guarded and I had my guess he didn't take Rylee from the mansion. In addition to that, no one knew what happened between us and he must have used that as an advantage. I left Los Angeles for Asia that week. We had a new product to be introduced into the market and I needed to be at our branch there. Our products were already in the US market so we decided to try them out overseas. I had no idea how Manolo knew about that deal. Did he do that because of how I was progressing or was it just to spite me? I couldn't wrap my head around it.

I knew Rylee must have been so scared. My poor baby. I left that woman all alone.
