Carlos began to look round, clearly searching for me. He asked my men where I was, but none gave him an answer. Unexpectedly, my phone began to ring out loud. " Damn! Was I with my phone? Why would I be with my phone?" I whispered silently in pain and anger, switching off the phone without after taking a quick glance to know who was calling. Now I needed to get ready to face Carlos because he has definitely found me. Today's attack wasn't going as planned, because of the Red Devil arrival, if only I knew that they were also going to be here, I would definitely had a plan B. Carlos turned his head to the direction he heard the phone ring from, he began walking towards the podium slowly with a gun in his hand. Carlos had always been scared of me right from the very first day we met in one of the Mafia's yearly party. "I wouldn't stay here and allow him find me, It would only make me look so pathetic" I thought, standing immediately before limping out of my safe spot. When Carlos
CLARA'S POVI had been restless since yesterday, Leo's last sentence seemed not to be leaving my head anytime soon, until I am convinced that he is fine and nothing had happened to him. Even while I was in school, my mind was far away from me and Jack seemed to notice it. He asked me continuously if I was all right and my reply was always a "yes" Through out the whole lectures we had today, I didn't grab anything that was being taught. Some student were gossiping about why Leo hasn't been in school since the beginning of this week, they kept on saying lies that suit them but I didn't care as long as I have been seeing him. My only problem at the moment was Leo's last statement yesterday and my harsh reply. Once it was time for dismissal, I ran out of the class immediately which got me stares and unnecessary laughs from my classmates. I ran down the stair like I was being pursued, some people began to give me weird looks while they also paved ways for me in order to avoid getting h
I had completely forgotten about the doctor's presence, Leo and I were so engrossed in enjoying the sweet moment. The doctor had to let out a fake coughed before we became aware of his presence again. The kiss seemed like a pain reliever to Leo which was quite amusing but funny at the same time, as I thought of how the tough and brutal Leo can be this childish. The doctor took permission to leave and Leo granted it immediately, I kept on looking round the room because I wasn't able to find Leo guard anywhere."Are you looking for someone or something " Leo asked and I turned to look at him, nodding my head. I saw his lips suddenly creak into a smile while he raised his hand behind his head, resting his head on his palm and his broad shoulder widened while I stared in awe. "Are you lost? " He asked me. I jolted back from the weird imagination I was already having at the moment. "I was saying my guard left already, you are looking for him right? " Leo asked using his left hand to dr
LEO'S POVJust when I was starting to feel the softness of Clara's lips and her warm body, Jack interrupted everything. The worst of all was that he didn't even bother to knock. Clara's head was turned, facing the other side of the room as she avoided to look at Jack. She was clearly dying of embarrassment. Jack looked like he had frozen already, there was no difference between him and a statue at the moment. " Jack! Jack! " I shouted his name loudly before he came back to his senses, walking towards me, stretching his hands for a shake which I ignored rudely. " I'm sorry man, you know I don't knock when I come. My men told me you got shot and I had to run down here immediately, I didn't know you were in the middle of something" He was talking to me but I noticed his eyes was fixed on Clara who was backing him. "Clara you don't have to be shy, It is fine" Jack said before looking back at me, there was something different about his voice and his face. He looked quite sad and an
The weekend passed too quickly, I enjoyed every bit of it while in Leo's room. Although I couldn't stop other maids from talking dirty. Majority said I had become Leo's s*x toy while others said I was the one forcing myself Leo, but I cared less of anything they say as long as they were all lies. All through the time I was in Leo's room I didn't do anything, instead other maids did the cleaning and the cooking while I did the taking care of Leo in every aspect except s*x. Today was a school day and I had to prepare for school, same as Leo. Luckily his leg was okay now, although it was still painful but he could walk well now without favouring one leg. I went to my room to prepare for school very early, it was the first time Leo allowed me out of his sight since his injury. When I got to my room, my new roommate was already awake and was about to leave for her morning duties. Immediately she saw me she looked away, I greeted her but got no reply. She must have also heard the bad r
If only stares could kill, I would have been dead even before the school dismissal. The girls in my class glared at me continuously, even while classes were going on. It seemed to me like Leo didn't care or maybe he chose to ignore it. Ignoring might be quite easy for him, but it isn't for me. Staying beside Leo made me feel like a prisoner being watched by the security guard for twenty-four hours. We had a few classes in which the teacher for those subjects came to teach. They all came in normal, but after seeing me sitting beside Leo, they became abnormal and left confused. If there is one thing I hate at this moment, it would be the fact that I am so popular now. I used to be a low-key student. Many teachers didn't know me, some didn't even notice me, but now the whole school does. " If not the world, Clara," I soliloquized, placing my head on the table. I didn't even care about Leo, who was beside me, or the lecture taking place. The annoying aspect of all the classes we had today
Leo's POVClara jumped out of my car hurriedly, nearly falling off, but lucky for her she was able to regain her balance quickly. As she ran towards the maids' quarters without bothering to look at me nor thank me, much less even saying a word. It made me wonder if I did something wrong to her and she was angry. The way she jumped out seemed to me like she was avoiding me."But for what reason?" I thought while walking briefly to the mansion. The maids greeted me while I walked in, but I didn't respond to their greeting as my mind was pretty occupied. The moment I opened my room, I was pleased with the new scent I perceived. It was as if Clara was in my room; I could perceive her fresh scent in every corner of my room. I inhaled deeply before moving over to the wardrobe to remove my uniform. For a few minutes, I sat on my bed, wondering if Clara was going to come to my room or if I should just probably go to meet her at the maid's quarters. "No, I have given her enough trouble in schoo
I was about to open the door when I turned to look at Jack and asked him where Clara went to. Jack told me he had no idea about where Clara was, but I could tell he was lying. We have been friends for like forever, I know when Jack is lying. "Save yourself the trouble and tell me the truth now before" Jack didn't allow me to finish talking before he interrupted me, telling me immediately about Clara's whereabout. I rushed straight to the female toilet , just to very sure that she was safe and wasn't being bullied by anyone. As I got closer to the toilet, I heard noises coming from the toilet, they were all laughing profusely like they were watching a comedy show. Then I heard Clara's faint voice pleading for them to stop, but instead the laugh got louder and they were smashing something on her. I didn't even know when I began to run. On getting there my whole body was shattered at what I saw. They were smashing eggs on Clara, some were pouring dirty water on her, some were calling
