LOGINChapter 224Leone’s eyes stretched, not expecting to hear that from him anytime soon. As a matter of fact, he had removed his mind completely and zeroed his expectations on his son, Lysander, accepting him anytime soon. But now he was completely overjoyed. As a matter of fact, he felt like he could explode. He hit the steering wheel several times, screaming with joy. He fought for control, but he couldn’t. This was the happiest moment of his life. He felt he could jump down a mountain from excitement. He took a deep breath, calming himself, and then reversed the car and drove out of the empire. All the while, he grinned widely as he recalled how Lysander had called him father multiple times in his head. This was indeed a dream come true for him.He drove straight to Massimo’s house despite Massimo’s warning telling him to leave him the fuck alone. Massimo groaned painfully, like someone had suddenly thrown him into a hot volcano, the moment he saw Leone’s car pulling up in his parking
Chapter 223Leone’s eyes flew wide, not expecting Lysander to deduce that so fast. His words were sharp, cutting, yet true.But why wasn’t the boy suddenly distancing himself from him, and why wasn’t he glaring at him or being angry at him? Instead, he seemed completely normal with the news.He was sharp-witted, yes, but still a kid, and Leone had expected that he would react in a way a kid is supposed to react, which was by throwing tantrums or asking him numerous questions.“Shocked?” Lysander chuckled, leaning back into his seat as he took a bite from his chocolate bar. “I even encouraged her to dump you but never thought…” he took another bite, “it would be so soon.”At this point, Leone could barely focus on driving as he was left utterly stunned by what his six-year-old son was saying.He cleared his throat before carefully asking, “And you are not upset I… I caused her to dump me?”“I don’t even care to know what you did,” he shrugged, probably something stupid, he said in his
Chapter 222The moment Anna had broken up with him, he badly wanted to run after her. He badly wanted to talk her into changing her mind about her decision, but he had held himself back.He had fought hard within himself to respect her decision, and he had also needed to stay calm simply because he didn’t want to raise suspicion about it, as her aunt, Rebecca, was still watching. He wanted to tell her what happened between them only when Anna was ready and on board with it.He’d be lying to himself if he said he could let her go. He wasn’t that big of a saint, but he was willing to give her as much space as she needed before going to get her back. He didn’t want to pressure her; he didn’t want to force her when she was obviously not ready to take him back.Not to mention, he had acted like a complete fool, hiding such important information from her rather than explaining it in a manner which she might have understood, and then throwing his not-so-innocent father under the running trai
Chapter 221Anna stepped out of her black sleek car, dressed in a light handless gown. Her blonde hair was straightened evenly.She walked into the restaurant, her heels clicking against the hard ground. She stepped inside, her eyes sweeping through the luxurious space. A golden chandelier hung high, casting a golden glow around the restaurant. No doubt, it was a five-star restaurant, but Anna didn’t care; all she wanted was to finish up with the meeting and head back home.She finally found the person whom she had been searching for—Alexander Declorov. She rolled her eyes upon sighting him before heading towards his table.A tall man with a perfect physique, black hair, and black eyes sat patiently waiting for her. His eyes lit up upon seeing her.He instantly stood up to draw out the chair for her to sit. His eyes never left her, and Anna felt like digging her fingers into his eye sockets and clawing his eyeballs out.This man had been nothing but a thorn in her flesh, refusing to l
Chapter 220She stumbled backwards and might’ve lost her footing if she hadn’t held on to the shelf for support.He truly stretched wide, and with trembling hands, she picked up the letter once more. Was this some kind of joke??? The letter was a newsletter reading: ‘The tragic passing of Donna Lisa Pietro’.Seems like someone had done this to mess with her or scare her. Whoever had done this would definitely pay for it, because she couldn’t let this slide.Her mind wandered, and she almost fished her phone to call Leone, but she had to stop herself midway. What was she calling him for?The best thing to do was to figure out the culprit who had dared pull this prank. She summoned her secretary.“Did anyone come here?” She fixed her composure as she asked her.Riele slowly shook her head. “No one came in here, and I always made sure the office was locked at all times.”Anna didn’t want anyone in Singapore to know she was tangled up in the mafia; she had left that mafia business in Hong
Chapter 219It had been a tough decision to make, but she had come to an absolute decision. Perhaps they weren’t meant to be together; perhaps their relationship couldn’t be fixed; perhaps she needed space away from him.“Peach….” His face fell upon her words, and then his eyes moved to land on her aunt, Rebecca, who stood at a considerable distance, watching them.He could feel his heart slowly ripping in half in his chest. “I—”“We can talk about joint custody for the kids when I return from Singapore. Take care of the kids till then,” she cut him off sharply.She put on her dark shades, then stepped into the car. She revved the engine to life and then drove out of the mansion.As much as she wanted to put on a brave front, as much as she wanted to pretend like she wasn’t hurting, she couldn’t, and a tear slid past her eyes.She gripped the steering wheel tightly as she stared at the road ahead of her. It was high time she accepted that both of them weren’t working out; the more the
