Leo's eyes flew open.

For a second, he couldn’t move. He stared up at the blinding white ceiling, letting his vision adjust. His heart pounded. The room was quiet—too quiet.

He blinked slowly as the sterile scent hit him, sharp and cold.

Hospital.

He shifted slightly, and a dull ache shot through the side of his head. He hissed and turned his eyes, taking in the white walls, the IV tube attached to his palm, the slow beep of the monitor beside him.

He looked down at himself. He wasn’t in his suit anymore—he was in a loose hospital gown. It felt strange against his skin, cool and unfamiliar.

He noticed the bandage wrapped around the corner of his head, just above his ear. That’s where he must’ve hit the ground.

Then a voice came—familiar, soft, and painfully sweet to his ears.

"Leo?"

It was Diane.

He turned his head slowly toward the voice.

She rushed to his side, her steps fast, desperate.

Her hair was a mess, sticking out in places like she hadn’t touched it

  • Bound By Blood, Saved By Love    Chapter 46: Breaking Point

    Leo sat heavily in his chair, still shaken from the conference. Diane had denied him—and it hurt. He understood why she did it, he really did, but that didn’t stop the sting.It felt like he had truly lost her to another man, to Vincent. Like their love would forever remain a sin, something to be hidden in the shadows. And he hated that more than anything.The sudden swing of his office door startled him. His sigh deepened when he saw Luca barge in, followed closely by Jace. He didn’t need to ask why they were there. Of course, they had heard. Everyone had.Luca stormed forward, his face tight with fury and disappointment. He had warned him how risky it was to be with that woman, but he didn’t listen. Now see the scandal it had landed him.“I told you, Leo. I warned you,” he spat, his voice sharp. "I told you this would blow up in your face. But you wouldn’t listen. And now? You’ve dragged yourself into a scandal big enough to choke the whole family.”Luca wasn’t even angry that Leo w

  • Bound By Blood, Saved By Love    Chapter 45: The Handkerchief

    Jace’s heart thudded heavily as his fingers brushed lightly across Sarah’s cheek. For the past twenty minutes, he had done nothing but watch her sleep, memorizing every detail of her face as though she were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Then, her lashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened. The moment their gazes met, Jace’s stomach flipped, a rush of warmth surging through him. “Good morning, sunshine,” he greeted, his smile lighting up his whole face. Sarah smiled back and snuggled into his arms. “Good morning, honey,” she whispered, closing her eyes again as she inhaled his scent. Her heart felt so full. These past two days in his apartment had been like a dream...days cut off from the world’s troubles, days where they only ate, made love, slept, and repeated the cycle. “I believe you slept well,” Jace said softly. Sarah smiled. Slept well was an understatement. Instead of answering, she pulled him closer and kissed him gently. “You must be hungry now.

    Luca parked his car outside the hospital, his fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel. He couldn’t believe he was here again, waiting for Rhea.Two nights ago, he had been at the Gala party when she called him. Without thinking, he left the party and drove across the city to pick her up from a club. Yesterday, she had asked him to come to this hospital, and he did. Today, she hadn’t even called him—yet here he was, waiting again, as if it had become his duty.He shook his head, frustrated.“When did you become a chauffeur, Luca?” he muttered aloud, cursing himself. “What the hell is wrong with you?”It was so unlike him. He wasn’t the type to run around after anyone. Not even his closest friends got this kind of treatment. And yet here he was, playing driver for Rhea Voss—the same woman who had once punched him, humiliated him, and made him swear he would make her kneel for mercy.Now? He was waiting to pick her up like a fool.“You really need to see a doctor, Luca. You’re

  • Bound By Blood, Saved By Love    Chapter 43: Shattered Silence

    The first thing Leo noticed as he stepped into the Van Driscoll Global lobby was the atmosphere. Something was off. The staff looked awkward, moving stiffly, their footsteps too quick, their gazes too restless.Everyone seemed busy, yet it looked forced. Almost suspicious.Leo frowned. He could feel it, something was wrong. But what? Or was it because of his face?The cut on his lip was still fresh, red against his skin. The bruises along his cheekbones were impossible to miss. He hadn’t bothered hiding them with a mask. He didn’t care what anyone saw.He rode the elevator in silence. When the doors finally dinged open, he strode out, heading straight for his office.He had barely settled into his chair when his assistant walked in. Her face carried that look he had grown to recognize too well—worry, the kind that only came when something was terribly wrong.Leo sighed impatiently.“What now?” he asked, his tone sharp.He was already frustrated, still carrying the weight of what had h

  • Bound By Blood, Saved By Love    Chapter 42: Jealous Heat

    The elevator door opened with a soft sound.Jace stepped out first, still holding Sarah’s hand. His grip was firm but gentle, like he wasn’t letting her go no matter what.Sarah’s heart beat fast. Not because she was scared, but because she knew something was about to happen. Something that made her feel hot and restless inside.Earlier that night, they had been at the gala together. Sarah had gone to the restroom, but when she came out, she froze.Across the room, Jace was talking to a beautiful young woman—the daughter of one of the company’s shareholders. From the way the woman leaned close to him, smiling, it was clear she liked him. And what hurt more was that Jace looked relaxed, as if he didn’t mind her attention.Jealousy boiled in Sarah’s chest. She turned away and stood in the far corner of the hall, trying to calm down.A few minutes later, Jace came looking for her.“Baby,why are you standing here?” he said softly, reaching out to touch her arm.She pushed his hand away wi

    Leo stepped closer to her, his eyes filled with so many emotions it almost hurt to look at him. "I don't care if anyone sees us, Diane," he said, slipping his arm around her waist again. His voice was steady but thick with want. "I want you." Her breath quickened. Panic rushed through her chest. Her heart was pounding like a drum she couldn’t silence. "No… no… no. You have to stop," she stammered, trying to step back, to create even the smallest space between them. But Leo wasn’t giving her any room. His arms held her as if letting go would kill him. "Leo, please stop," she pleaded, her voice trembling. Leo’s brows furrowed. "Why?" he asked, his hands loosening slightly. "Don’t you want me?" Her lips parted. "Did you forget I’m married, Leo? And Vincent is just a few steps away. What do you think will happen if he sees us like this?" Leo’s lips curved in a dangerous smirk. "That’s the best part. I want him to see us together." Her eyes widened. "Are you crazy?" she whisper
