Leonardo

The following day after Isaac's attack on my family. I sat in the sun room feeding Cassandra her milk bottle when I heard footsteps, I turned to find Olivia standing by the door, and for once after a long time, she looked alive in cotton pants and a Cardigan.

“Do you want to…?” gesturing to the bottle in my hand. She shook her head and walked closer towards us, finding a seat next to me. She took Cassandra's blanket and put it on her lap.

“How are you?” I asked, keeping my voi

    Olivia Cici finished his juice and placed the glass on the island. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a brother to annoy.""Try not to get yourself thrown out." "Please. I'm the only person in this house who can get away with annoying him." He disappeared through the kitchen door, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I wasn't sure what worried me more: Leonardo's sudden withdrawal from the world or the fact that everyone seemed to be tiptoeing around him as though he were made of glass. I understood that he was going through a difficult time, but Leonardo had never been a man who accepted defeat easily. He had built an empire from the ground up, made powerful enemies and brought some of the most dangerous men in the country to their knees. And now he couldn't even bring himself to look at a business report. I picked up the glass Cici had left behind and placed it in the sink before making my way upstairs

    OliviaOne week passed since Leonardo was confined to a chair, even though his doctors were hopeful that the diagnosis was not permanent. But it didn't seem like Leonardo had taken it well.Before, during the few days after the accident, he had been all jolly and spoke freely about his shattered legs, but now it felt like the reality of his immobility had finally sunk in.Now, all he did was sit next to the window and look outside at the garden. He barely ate or said anything. The only time he seemed to come around was when CiCi came to talk to him. Other than that, he just stared into space."It's a beautiful day for a stroll outside," I said, and he turned his manual wheelchair and stared at me.His electric chair had come in a few days ago, top-of-the-range, made of titanium steel, and promised easy access and use, but Leonardo was still using the manual one, which had come in on the second day after the accident.The staring was unnerving, with the lost look he seemed to have thes

    LeonardoThe push towards my mother's living room felt endless, with my mother trailing behind us.The suspense broke as the chair was wheeled into the living room. With my hand already inside the light blanket that Cici had draped on top of me, feeling for my gun. "Henry?" I said as soon as I saw the man seated on one of my mothers posh Chair.What the heck was this and how did my mother even know Henry enough for him to be sitting here.Henry stood up and his eyes darted towards my mother, who came from behind me and Cici, her hands twisted together."Boys, listen I can explain, it's not what this looks like." She said. I took my hand out from underneath the blanket because as far as I knew, Henry was not a threat but an interesting riddle. "What does it look like?" Cici asked as he moved from behind me and into the center of the room.I sat transfixed at the scene in front of me, and I was glad that Cici was taking over with the questioning as I didn't have the energy for it."B

    Leonardo The door closed behind Olivia, and the room changed. CiCi stopped chewing. I watched the door for another second before looking back at him. “Close it properly.” I said He got up, pushed the door firmly shut, then returned to his chair. And for once, he didn’t make a joke. “What aren’t you telling me?” he asked. I leaned back on my pillows, studying him. “A lot.” He waited and I looked down at my legs. “Too much has happened in too short a time. Things that should connect don’t. People know things they shouldn’t know. And every answer I get seems to lead to another question.” CiCi’s expression lost its usual lightness. “What exactly happened brother?” I told him about Henry. About the visit. The things Henry had said. The things he had refused to say, and the way the pieces had started moving almost immediately afterwards. Then I told him about the attack. “And I asked Luther to find the person who had been following us from the airport.” Ci

    OliviaThe mansion felt wrong without Leonardo in it. Although we were not on what I would call good terms but something felt off about his absence today. I was in the library trying to take my mind off things when Rosa appeared at the door.“Mrs. De Luca.” She said and I instantly looked up. There was something in her posture that I couldn't quiet figure out that made my heart to start beating fast.''What is it Rosa, speak." I said.“Mr. De Luca has been injured.” At the words I felt my whole being tremble. My chair scraped against the floor as I stood. “What happened?”“There was an attack on their way back from the airport.”“And, where is he now?” “In the East wing, they've made a makeshift hospital for him there-” Before she could finish her sentence, I was already reaching for my coat, ready to go out. Leonardo and I might have been at odds with each other but he was still my husband and legally so.Luther was waiting outside the bedroom door when I arrived in the east wing.

    Leonardo The drive from the airport was quiet, with Luther behind the wheel, one hand resting loosely on the steering wheel while the other stayed near the gearshift. I sat in the passenger seat, staring through the window. Henry's words wouldn't leave me alone. 'She's innocent.' I hadn't believed that before I went to see him. But the fear in his eyes had told me something else. Someone had been watching Olivia, someone Henry was still afraid of. “Take the next turn,” I said. Luther nodded and a few seconds passed, then I noticed the black SUV behind us. It had been there since the highway. “Luther.” He glanced at the rearview mirror. “I see it.” “It's been following us.”“I know.” He didn't sound concerned and that was when another vehicle pulled out from a side road ahead. Luther's hand tightened around the steering wheel. “Hold on.” The first gunshot shattered the windshield, Luther swerved. Another burst of gunfire tore through the car. The vehicle behind us acce
