LESLIE'S POV

“Chief…chief operating officer?” I stuttered.

“Yes, that's what I said,” he nodded and moved back. I let out the breath I was holding and could finally think freely once again.

I hated what close proximity to him does to me.

“But why? That's such a huge responsibility.” I placed my hand on my waist and gestured with the other. I tended to do that when I was agitated.

“I know but I also know that you can handle it.” He shrugged, dipping his hands into the pockets of his sweatpants.

    LESLIE'S POVMy eyes widened and I rose to my feet, along with the others. This was a twist that I didn't see coming. I swung my eyes to Prime Minister Sebastian and frowned. Was he a cheat and a two-timer?“Secure the President and the Prime Minister!" Military officials instantly surrounded them.Sebastian tucked his hand behind his back and bypassed the people protecting him, stopping them when they tried to follow him. He took a few steps closer to the woman. “You are violating the law to be here, young lady. The restraining order my wife and I filed against you is still very effective." “How could you do this to me?" The woman burst into tears. “Sebastian, I love you so much. I've loved you for years and you know it. I voted for you whenever you contested for a position until you got to where you are now. So, how can you decide to get married to this woman who came out of nowhere?” By the end of her speech, her tears had been replaced with a venomous look as she stared at Ivy.A

    LESLIE’S POV‘Are you okay? Nothing has happened, right?’ I smiled as I read Saint’s text. I had received several like that from him in the span of an hour.‘If you knew you would be so worried, you should have just come with me to the wedding when I asked you to.’ I sent back and looked up at the bustling crowd. Saint didn't want to be roped into any political affiliation so he decided to stay back. A normal wedding was really nothing compared to a political wedding. From the extravagant decorations, the enormous and seemingly never-ending crowd, the presence of security and military officers and the large media houses ready to film it live for citizens to watch, it was nothing like I've ever seen. Security was everywhere and I could see Tom and Orlando blending in from where I was sitting.They had been MIA for a while because of a special training at their agency but Saint specifically requested them for this event.‘Maybe I should have done that. It's not too late. I'm coming,’ h

    LILIANA’S POV“Why did you call me over?" I raised an eyebrow as Mum set the table in front of me. In all my years of living, I have never seen mum cook a meal so this was out of character for her. “What's going on, Mum?" "Why are you getting agitated?” She chuckled. "I made all of your favorites, that's why I called you. Have a taste and tell me what you think.”I collected the fork from her, my heart thumping as I took a single piece of spaghetti and put it in my mouth. I wouldn’t want to be rushed to the hospital due to food poisoning. My eyes widened, it surprisingly tasted good.“Is it okay?" “Yes," I smiled. “You are quite good but you've never cooked a meal for me. Why are you doing that now?" "Liliana, mum is sorry.” She placed her hand on mine. "You were right. I've not been fair to you all these years and I'm sorry. I just wanted a better life for you. I do not want you to be overshadowed by people who are supposed to be beneath you.”I held her hand and shook my head. "

    LESLIE'S POVMy moment of shock lasted for a whole minute before I regained control of my body and ran to Kayla. I crouched and held her to my chest, noticing the trail of tears on her face.This was unacceptable.“How could you be so heartless, Aunt Tiara?" I yelled.“What is the first family doing in my home? How did you get in here?" She dropped the whip, no remorse in her words or actions. “Leave right now. How I decide to discipline my children is none of your business.”"This is not discipline, this is abuse. How can you whip your daughter, especially when you know she's pregnant?” I stood up and faced her, my blood boiling. Her face cracked and she glanced at her daughter. “How do you know about that? Did…did she tell you?”“That is not the point." “That's the point!" She bellowed. “When did she tell you? How did you find out? What rubbish have you been drilling my daughter’s ears?" "If this isn't the peak of shamelessness, I don't know what it is.” Selene clicked her tongue

    LESLIE'S POVMy mouth dropped open and I glanced around to see if anyone was nearby. I was not that lucky. I turned back to him and planted a smile on my face. Fake it till you make it, right?“Thank you for liking me but I'm married." I showed him my ring. “I'm actually here with my husband." “Oh, I know you're pretending," he slurred. “I've been watching the both of you all night. You were clinging to him to make me jealous, huh?" “Uhm…I don't even know you?" I raised my eyebrows. “Please, just let me go. My husband will be worried if I take too long." “Stop calling him your husband in front of me." He grabbed the back of my head and forced me to look at him. “I've always admired you. Why can't you see it? Why won't you love me back?" Was he mistaking me for someone else?“I think there is a misunderstanding here. This is the first time I'm setting my eyes on you," I groaned, wondering what rotten luck I have to always get into trouble at events. “Well, I've had my eyes on you

    LESLIE’S POV“Oh my, Mrs Baxter. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there," she gasped. “Did it touch you? I'm sorry." "It did not, so it's okay.” I turned to walk away but she grabbed my arm. Her hands were cold against my bare arm so I shook it off. “Is there a problem? I'm not upset, honestly. You don't have to be concerned." They wanted to embarrass me so as to humble me but they failed. I've spent enough time in this circle to know how shallow they think and behave, thanks to my mother-in-law for her amazing mentorship.The woman stared at her hands in question before looking at me. “Since you are here, why don't you join me and the others?" She gestured to the women that were staring at us earlier. “All of our husbands are CEOs. I am sure we can be good company to you." I blinked at her words, my brain sending a code red signal to me. “As much as I would love to, I have to return to my husband. I told him I was just going to the bar.”"Hey, you don't have to be shy.” She hooked h
