★ LEONA"Don't be shocked, you didn't plan on being anonymous forever did you?"" Well, then I guess I am fired. I'm sorry for the inconveniences I must've caused during my short term stay" I took my bag.He knew all along that I was the one who has been sleeping secretly in his house and am sure that was why he was tough on me yesterday.He brought his hand to his lips and chuckled. "Short term. Really? Did you want it long?"Did I really say that? I am sure it wasn't on purpose."Well, I am sorry." I apologized due to lack of words.I didn't want him to tell me to leave before I do so I turned to the door and began to walk."I never told you to leave miss Grande. I'm still talking to you. "I stopped and held my bag tightly." What else is left to be said?" I didn't want to hear the word 'you're fired.'" There's in fact a lot I want to talk about and they're far from ' you're fired.' "He read my mind.I turned to him and he gestured for me to sit.I walked back to his large mahoga
LEONA"Are you alright?" Raymond asked."Yes, I am. Why did you stop the car?""That's it, you're not fine. We are home but you didn't notice. What's wrong Leona? "" Come on Raymond, I'm fine. I am justa little occupied. " I lied" Occupied with? "" The thought of my son's future and lot more. Let's go. " I opened the door and got out with Leonard.I waited for Raymond at the door to open the door since I was holding Leo along with my bag.I got in once he opened it."Has Leo taken anything yet?""He took cereal two hours ago but I think he'll need milk now. I'll go prepare it. Here, give him to me so you can freshen up. "I nodded and handed him to Raymond.When I came back from the bathroom, Leonard was sleeping peacefully on my bed.Raymond must've brought him here after he'd slept.But..Did I take that long in the bathroom?I wore my oversized pajamas and got out."Did he finish all the bottles?" I asked and sat beside Raymond on the couch."Yeah, your son is one hell of a foodi
LEONA"How's your baby, Miss Grande?"No fucking way!My head snapped up and met with his eyes.His gaze on me was unfaltering, taking note of every twist I make."Excuse me?.""I said how's your baby." He repeated and looked away.My mind flashed to Yolando. Could he possibly be working with him?"Who are you? Are you a stalker? Have you been sent by him to get me?"I got terrified when I remembered that Lando's safe password was DAVE.Could they be related? Am I already in trouble?"What are you talking about?" It was his turn to be surprised." Fucking answer me! Who the fuck are you!" I raised my voice, causing heads to turn." Are you crazy?" He chided and looked around."People are watching so keep your voice low." He said under his breath." I don't care!" I yelled again."Of course you wouldn't care but I do. I have a reputation to uphold."I looked around and realized that everyone was looking at what was going on.This will even be worse. I saw CCTV cameras around and panick
LEONA***I didn't waste any more time when I got to my office. Once my head was buried in my work, I didn't look up till it was time to go home.I left the office hastily because I didn't want to encounter Dave.Fortunately, my sweet brother was already waiting for me outside with the car as usual.I got into the car and we had our normal chat.The next day was Tuesday and I wore a sleeveless dress that was just above my knees with a long blazer.I didn't have to do anything with my wig. I'm actually bored wearing it every day though.It's almost a month since I escaped from Yolando and in my second week of working.After dressing up, I went out to meet the two important people in my life and we drove off.I didn't see Dave when I got to the company until 10 am when my door creaked open and his tall frame stepped in."Have you been avoiding me?" I raised my head." Nevermind, get me a coffee and some for yourself if you want to. " He said and left.I got up, straightened my dress, a
LEONAI brought the phone down from my ears and stared at the screen.I sent it back to my ears," who's this?"Once I asked, the line disconnected.The voice belongs to Dave but why would he call me?Probably to tell that I am fired because I've absented myself for two days at work and for arguing with him.It couldn't be him, right?**. ~DAVE~After what happened between Leona and I when I overheard her declaring her love for her boyfriend.I didn't know why I reacted that way. Maybe it was because I was about to have lunch with her but came at the wrong time.Maybe I should stop being around her. She's someone's wife and mother after all.I still can't understand why she flared when I asked her about the baby. She was angry but there was fear also.She looks like a strong woman so what could be her fear?Wednesday was when we argued and on Thursday, I wasn't at work but came on Friday.I didn't want to see her and tried so hard not to open her door and get in.I coul
LEONAWhat the heck!The next thing I knew, he had slammed his lips to mine and nearly knocked all air from my lungs.I hardly had a moment to react before he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips expecting me to grant him access to delve in.I tightened my lip, refusing to barge.What is wrong with him?He pulled me closer to his chiseled chest, I splayed my hands against it, intending to push him but I inhaled a sharp breath when his palms settled on my waist and gave it a squeeze. My lips parted and he delved in, awakening all the nerves.He tasted amazing.It was a very sloppy kiss with the strong scent of mint lingering in his mouth as he kisses me. He was really kissing me and I'm finding it hard to believe it.I didn't know when I kissed him back. My arms reached up from where I left them on his chest and tangled around his thick, strong neck.My entire body feels like its been set on fire, I've never felt like this before or kissed anyone like this before. Well, it's not li
LEONA"What? Don't tell me you didn't hear a word of what I said?""That's why I asked." " Where was your mind? "" On you..."Did he say me or my ears are just deceiving me?"What did you say?""I said, my mind was on you. " He said it loud and clear this with his index finger pointing to my face. " What, don't say such things." I held his index to bring it down but instead, he held it tight and twirled me around and around. I could feel something wrapping up around me."Wow, wow, wow." He kept saying loudly.When he stopped, my son began to laugh as he jumped.Wait, when did Leonard heal so quickly enough to be laughing and clapping?"Hey, young man.." I bend to pick him but stopped.My platinum chestnut hair was wrapped around me.Oh my goodness?When did my wig go off? This is not how I wanted to show it to him. This must be the reason why he was smiling.OMG, I hope he's not aware that I left my hair for him. I got up hastily, I didn't know what to do. I bit my bottom lip ne
LEONA"No I won't, I can't celebrate something I have no knowledge of." I got my hand from his.I don't like how he's getting close to me and making me do and feel things I've never felt before. Not only that, he's getting too close to me. Even though his words does magic, I can't trust him."Alright, I won't force you." He said and walked inside.I thought he'd leave. Why's he going in again?"May I know how you managed to get into our house?" I asked while he sat." When I came I was calling your number but you wouldn't pick the call. I was leaving but then I heard Leonard crying so I had to break your door and get in."My eyes widen towards the door." It wasn't a major damage and I've already repaired it."I nodded, unable to believe how deep I slept that I couldn't hear a thing."He was already out here when I came, probably looking for Raymond since you were fast asleep. He calmed down when he saw me. I thought he must be hungry so I took his milk from the fridge, warmed it, a
