While the three women were talking, the elevator ding and Don Luga stepped out of it. Everyone in the sitting room including some of Leo's men that were coming in and both Claudia and Ellie stood up in a bow. Breakable objects fell down from some of the maids' hand in fear of actually seeing the man in front of them. He looks scarier than Sir Leonard and tramping on him doesn't always end well. "You should be careful, stop breaking expensive things in this mansion" he turned to them and scolded with a glare while the maids nodded frantically, the horror in their eyes didn't go unnoticed.Seeing that everyone is standing up for this man she has never seen before, Isabella also stood up and bowed her head. Who is he? And why is the air around him commanding so much authority? Is he the Don Luga Carl mentioned in the kitchen a while ago? How is he related to her master? Was he the reason Leo was so angry earlier? There are lots of questions running through her mind but she didn't hav
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY: A man was seated graciously on the swivel chair, the smoke from the cigarette puffed into his mouth and came out through his nostrils. There was a noticeable exasperation on his face, his boys trembled with just how hard he's tapping his legs on the floor. "I gave you a simple job but couldn't even do it, what is so hard in meeting Leonard Woods? The drugs have been at the border for days now, what are you going to do? You all are so useless, I don't know why I am still keeping you" he screamed angrily as his hands tightened on the chair he was seated on. "We are sorry boss, we will try harder" one of them said and that seems to infuriate him the more. He threw the expensive bottle of alcohol on the table at them but fortunately, it broke right in front of them. "Try harder? You could have done that before now, Leonard Wood is not a God, he is only a Mafia king so why the hell would any of you give me flimsy excuses in the beginning? Damn this rule" he yelle
Leo stood up from the bed after scolding her. He turned back to see her fiddling with the hem of her shirt and he shook his head wondering if he had taken it too far but then, it's the truth. If words get out that she is his girlfriend, it will only endanger her life because his rivals will use her as a tool to get him. "Sleep" he commanded and entered into his closet to change into his nightie while Isabella sat there, thinking about everything. She doesn't understand what he meant by her being in danger if she tells people that she's his girlfriend but that didn't linger in her mind as much as his hurtful words. She climbed the bed, covered herself and faced the other side to avoid seeing Leo. She can't change her fate even if she wants to. As she was about dozing off, she heard footsteps approaching the bed but she didn't bother turning to see him and pretended to be sleeping, he told her to sleep anyway.Leo saw how she shifted to the edge of the bed, almost falling to the groun
"What were you saying? You live with a lot of guys? Like how many of them? Why? How?" Jane queried the moment they left the class. They have about two hours before their next class. Isabella sighed thinking of what to say, how is she going to explain this to her without sounding crazy? She definitely can't tell Jane about being a sex slave, at least not now. "It just happened" she replied with a shrug"Were you threatened? Did you do something to any of them?" Jane asked again and Isabella shook her head. "It's nothing like that, I am living fine with them. They are all taking care of me like we are family, you can even testify to that, I come to school in different beautiful cars, I have a black card given to me by them and I use expensive things too, that's to show that they are taking care of me like a younger sister" Isabella lied She felt guilty at some point but what can she do? That's the only thing she can tell Jane for now. "That's true though, they'd take care of you. I
"what? Why?" Isabella screamed the moment Alex told her about meeting Don Luga. Her hand on the seat tightened as her stomach turned weirdly for some unknown reasons. "I sincerely don't know either, I was just asked to bring you to him" Alex replied. Isabella let out a huge sigh, this time, not showing any sign of relief but that of worry, confusion and maybe a little bit of fear. Why will her master's father demand for her? Did he find out that she lied about being Leo's girlfriend? What will he do to her? That man's look is enough to scare her. A lot of what ifs were running through her mind, she unconsciously began biting her nails without saying or asking anything further till they got to the restaurant that was about 10 to 15 minutes away from her school. Before Adam could rush to her to get the door opened for her after halting the car in the fancy restaurant, Isabella got down. She looked around the place with her hands shaking. This kind of place is not for her, it looks t
The drive home with Don Luga was dead silent. Isabella stared out of the window to avoid making eye contact with him till they got home. Getting to know him isn't as bad as she thought it would be. Her master's father is way more better and friendly compared to Leo. "Thank you for making time for me, I would love to see you more often before I leave" Don Luga said the moment they alighted from the car while Isabella smiled. Don Luga went straight to the garden while she entered into the house. "Welcome back Bella, you look exhausted. Were you that stressed?" Ellie asked on seeing the look on her face. "I just want to take a shower and a long nap" Isabella said as she nod her head. "Do you want me to help you with anything? What about food?" Ellie questioned. "Nothing, don't worry about anything. I am so filled up, I am not sure I will eat again till tomorrow" "Okay, have a good rest then" Isabella waved at her, entered the elevator, pressed her floor number and in no time, she
Isabella got to the garden, it wasn't hard for her to spot Leo and walked up to him. "Do you usually sleep this long in the day time?" he asked on sighting her while she just quietly sat beside him. Isabella stretched forth her hand to him with his phone in it. "You have missed calls" she said as he collects the phone from her with a nod. Leo stood up on seeing the caller ID. The person happens to be one of his men at the border and escape route where drug dealers mostly smuggle in their said goods. He dialed the number when he was sure that Isabella won't listen in on their conversation on the phone and the person picked up with so much urgency. "What is it Dion?" Leo asked "Some group of people brought in drugs today but we were able to savage the situation" the person from the other end replied."Did you get hold of any of them?" Leo asked again. "No boss although we got the goods with most of our men injured" "Don't waste time in calling the doctor, get him to treat you all.
"Why are you doing this to me Bella? Just tell me where you live or let me come with you, only this once please" Jane pleaded earnestly. Since Bella told her she lives with a lot of guys, she has been pestering her life for Bella to take her home so that she can at least meet those hotties. Jane came to the conclusion that all the guys are handsome even without seeing all of them because those that she have seen are so freaking handsome. Isabella sighed and paused on her track. "I really can't Jane, you know that I will have to at least inform them before bringing someone over and I...""You can do that now, do you not have a phone? And besides, one of them will be coming to pick you up, you can ask him then. In fact, I will do that myself" Jane interrupted and began running towards their favourite spot at the school gate while Isabella panicked. What if it's Leo that will come? As much as he told her that they are now friends, he wouldn't want her crossing her boundaries. Leo mad
