LESLIE’S POV

His eyes rounded and his mouth fell open. He stammered and ran his hand through his hair. I stood there waiting for a response while he went through all stages of disbelief and grief.

“Are you looking for a lie to tell me?” I raised an eyebrow in question when he didn't reply.

“No, I…I hoped you wouldn't find out,” he sighed.

“Why?” I let out a dry chuckle. “Were you worried that I would come between both of you?”

“No, baby. That's not it.” He shook his head. “I just didn

    LESLIE'S POVTHREE MONTHS LATER I stood close to the arrival gate, my legs starting to bounce as several people walked past me, yet no sign of my father. I glanced at my wristwatch and sighed, this was the estimated time for him to arrive and I got here early too. We couldn't have missed each other, right?“Leslie?" My head snapped up to see him in front of me, the waiting line separating us. “It is really you." I blinked back the tears that threatened to spill as I looked him over. He was lean and taller than I remembered and he had on a beanie, making him look younger. He had been gone for almost six months but he looked better than when he left, even with the weight loss.“Are…are you okay?” I had so many things to ask him but that summarized it. Was he healthy? Was his cancer gone? Was he going to stay alive?He grinned and nodded. “I wouldn't be here otherwise." "That's great.” I nodded and started to walk down the line. "I offered to be the one to pick you up. I hope you don

    SAINT’S POVMy hands tightened around her waist as I said it out loud. Ever since I found out, I had kept it to myself. It would bring immense pain to everyone, especially to Selene herself. The same man she has called Uncle all her life, paid for her to be kidnapped and assaulted and perhaps killed if we didn't find her fast enough.I couldn't tell her something so cruel.Leslie pulled away, her mouth opened. “Uncle Sage? Why? How could it be him? If you had told me it was Aunt Tiara, I would have believed you because it looked like she was the one forcing him to turn his back on his family." "It was all a facade,” I chuckled harshly. "Aunt Tiara is only like that because of everything he drilled into her head. In the end, she's also a victim.”"Is that why you're keeping him locked up? Is he aware you've figured out his crimes?”"No one else knows but you.” I faced her. "I don't know how I'm supposed to break the news to everyone else because that's not the only thing he's guilty o

    SAINT’S POVI stared at my clasped hands as awkward silence stretched in the room. I was not willing to start talking first and Julian didn't seem to know how to start either.Now that it was all in the light, every single sign that I had missed came rushing back to me.Back then, Selene always behaved strangely whenever he was around but I thought she was only uncomfortable. After she was kidnapped too, Julian was so worried and I was grateful to him. I had no idea his concern was not platonic at all.All these years, whenever I brought up Selene, he always seemed overly attentive. Now, it all made sense.I chuckled and gripped my hair tightly. “Both of you didn't even try to hide it, I was the blind one.”"Saint—-" “It must have been funny to you when I told you to be her bodyguard." I glared at him. "You must have thought I was stupid appointing you to protect her when I should have protected her from you.”"Will you listen to me at all?”"What use is that?” I turned away. "You kn

    TRIGGER WARNING (last time, I promise)LESLIE'S POV“Saint, you need to freaking stop!" Selene stood in front of Julian when he tried to hit him again."Stay out of this." Saint clenched his jaw. “This is between Julian and I." "I'm not doing that. I cannot stand by and watch you continue to hit him when he has done nothing wrong.” She stood her ground and my heart swelled with pride. Selene has never been one to back down anyways.“He has done nothing wrong?" Saint chuckled and looked at Julian. “Is that what you think too? That you did nothing wrong?”Julian wiped the blood off his bursted lips and straightened up. “You can continue to hit me until you're appeased. I have nothing to say in my defense." Saint gripped his hair and turned away, the veins on his forehead protruding. I stepped closer to him and removed his hands from his head. “Can't you accept them?" I whispered. His lips pressed together in a frown as he glanced at me so I slammed mine shut. Julian and Selene would

    LESLIE'S POVONE WEEK LATER“Are you still angry?" I stretched my hand across the table to hold his. He flipped it up and held mine instead despite the frown on his face.“I'm not." He shook his head.“Hey, you totally are," I pouted. “I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to keep something of such magnitude from you. At that time, I had been in a lot of danger back to back and you blamed yourself for it, so much so that you requested for a divorce. I didn't want to add to your guilt by telling you." "Were you planning to tell me eventually?”"Of course." I bit down on my lips. “Eventually. I would have come to you when I was ready to expose them, just like I did.”He stared at my hand, his finger touching my wedding ring. “You’ve gone through a lot since I put this ring on you.”"And I wouldn't have had it any other way,” I smiled. "Thanks to meeting you, I became stronger and found a way to show off my capabilities. I even found my mum. Every single promise you made to me, you've fulfille

Details surrounding her death remain unclear as authorities begin their investigation.”My eyes snapped to the television just as footage of the Webster Group was shown and traces of blood could still be seen on the ground.I stood and screamed as I swept everything on my vanity desk to the ground. She told me to look forward to the news and this was what she gave me? Her sextape and now news about her death?What a total failure.“Leslie, Leslie." I gripped my head and yelled. “Why is it so hard to get rid of you? Why do you keep escaping everytime? Why?" If she was not in the picture, I was sure Saint would have forgiven me. I was young and stupid back then so I hurt him but Leslie…she hindered me from getting him back.I grabbed everything within reach and threw it until my anger subsided. I sat on my bed as
