LESLIE'S POV

I fiddled with my fingers and tapped the table, waiting for Saint to appear. A few days have passed but nothing has changed.

Saint was still aloof and the distance between us was as wide as ever.

I sighed, my uninjured hand coming to rest on the bandaged one, a habit I have been doing a lot more lately.

“Leslie?"

I looked up to see Saint walking in, his hands buried in the pockets of his jeans. It was the first time I was seeing him in one and it was hard not to stare.

“Hi?" I le

    LESLIE’S POVThe house was empty when I got there and I sighed in relief as I looked around. I wouldn't have been able to leave if Saint was home.This was cruel and I knew it but I couldn't afford to think about his feelings right now. I couldn't possibly bring my mother to the Baxter Estate so I had to leave for her sake.I pulled out my box from a corner in my closet and opened it. My throat clogged up as I remembered when I just arrived here and unpacked my things. I would be leaving with so much more than I arrived with.I pulled clothes off hangers and dumped them inside until the box was full. I grabbed a smaller box and packed other necessities in there, then I was set to leave. I paused when my eyes fell on a drawer. The one I hadn't opened after the day I got here.I knelt beside it and opened it, my copy of our marriage contract staring back at me. I grabbed it with shaky hands and smiled, it looked so unfamiliar now. I couldn't even remember negotiating these terms with hi

    LESLIE’S POVI dipped my hand in my coat pocket as I stared up at the Webster Mansion. I lived here for fifteen years, yet at that moment, it looked so unfamiliar like I had never been there before, like I didn't shed so many tears behind these sturdy walls. I shook my head and walked closer to the door. My hands trembled as I rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door pulled open and a wide eyed Gina stared at me.“L..Leslie?" "Hi, Gina. Long time no see,” I waved with a smile."Leslie, oh my goodness.” She ran into my arms. "I can't believe it's you. I never thought I would still be able to see you up close like this.”"I would have come back eventually,” I chuckled but hugged her back. "How have you been?”"Things have remained the same,” she shrugged as she pulled away. "We are still treated like servants here.”"Don't worry, things are about to change." I held her shoulders. “I will see you before I leave, okay? Where is Yvonne?”Gina seemed surprised when I said her name

    SELENE’S POV“Selene? Why are you not answering?" Julian stepped closer and I cleared my throat, hoping my face showed nothing of what I felt. “Do you want to leave despite the weather?" “Uh…I don't mind." I shook my head. "It is risky to drive in such heavy rain so I will wait.”"Alright, you can sit over there while I finish up here real quick. Then I would be able to accompany you,” he said."You talk as if I am a child," I chuckled and took the seat he pointed out. “Go about your business and don't worry about me. I've always been able to function alone." He nodded and returned to his screen, putting on his headphones before getting back to work. I used that opportunity to study him. He had changed into a body hugging T-shirt and some shorts. It has been a while since I had seen him dressed so casually. He looked hot without even trying.What the hell are you doing, Selene?I sighed and turned away. There must be something hypnotizing in this space. I pulled my phone out and ope

    SELENE’S POVI pushed the door open and got down, the wind blowing my hair to my face. “Let's go." Julian locked the car and headed into the complex with me trailing behind him. I dipped my hands in my jacket pocket and took a deep breath as we rode the elevator to the last floor which was the seventeenth. On the floor, there were two doors. One of them had the normal apartment door while the other one had iron bars barricading the door.“That's my home office,” Julian explained when he caught me staring at it. “Why is it heavily guarded though? It's attention-grabbing." I eyed it. “Are you hiding a dead body in there?" “How imaginative," he chuckled. “There are corporate secrets in there that shouldn't see the light of day." “That only succeeded in making me even more curious." I turned to the other door. “Let's go in." He opened the door with his fingerprint and pulled it open for me. I stepped in and scanned the whole room. It was white termed and was very neat. It didn't eve

    SELENE’S POVI stood at the door and rehearsed when I would say to Leslie. An apology sounded too fake. Concern looked too guilty and pretending that everything was okay seemed insensitive.“I fucking hate this." I sighed, my head falling to the back.“Is there a problem, Miss Baxter?" I jumped when a nurse approached me.“Oh, there is no problem," I chuckled nervously. “I was just planning to go inside." “Mrs Baxter is not in though. She left with President Baxter less than thirty minutes ago," she replied.“I see." I looked at the door and dropped the fruit basket in my hand in front of it. “Then I will leave this here and go. Please, do not tell her it's from me.”She nodded and walked away, leaving me in front of the door. I drummed my fingers on it and turned away to the elevator, my mood going down the drain with every step I took away from where I wanted to be.The elevator opened and I paused when Julian’s haggard face came into view. He straightened when he saw me but made n

    LESLIE’S POVSaint grabbed my waist and pulled me back to his chest before I could reach the glass. “Please calm down, Leslie. This is exactly why I said this was not a good idea." I pushed his hands away and scoffed. “Tell your mother to watch her mouth. I do not have any reason to respect her any longer so she better watches what she says." “Like you have ever respected me." Raine rolled her eyes. “You refused to leave my son despite how much I begged you. You refused to call me mum when I asked you to. So when exactly have you respected me?" "I do not care about what you think.” I narrowed my eyes. "What did my mother ever do to you? That was the question.”"The same thing you did.” She crossed her legs and leaned back in her seat. "She refused to leave a man of the Baxter clan alone. She refused to leave my husband alone. She pretended to be an honest worker to get into his life and seduce me.”“That's a lie, mum," Saint sighed.“You do not know anything!" She slammed the table
