Leonardo's POV.
My phone buzzed as I drove out of the gym's parking lot. I glanced at the screen
Anna? Why is she calling me so early in the day? My siblings rarely call me during the daytime, unless there is an emergency. I keep a very busy schedule.
Normally I do.
Since the past couple of days I have had only one business, trying to decode a way to make a hole in the walls of resolution that this one woman has built around her.
So far I have not even been able to make a small dent, I think grimly to myself.
Zavi has been giving me a look that is blazing enough to have men
Saira's POVI stared out of the window, my palms fisted tightly on my lap. To an onlooker I may come across as angry, which I am.However the feeling predominant in my heart is fear, panic. I feel on verge of palpitation. We have been travelling for over two hours, stopping only once after getting coffee when Leonardo bought some burgers- on the go of course.The incident of eight year ago kept flashing in my mind. That one fateful night when I lost everything-No! Saira don't go there. You cannot afford to go weak now. You have a mad rich brat to fight against.Few minutes later we approachd a huge gate. Even as this creep of a man on the driving seat slowe
Saira's POV "This place is beautiful Mr. Norcross." I complimented as we start moving towards the house. He nodded but kept looking ahead, seemingly lost in thought. Maybe he is not happy at my suggesting lunch here? He must have had some sleazy ideas for dinner. Pervert! Tough luck on him if that is the case. After all he brought me here. On the brighter side if he is irritated with me I will finally be left alone by him. This could my chance to try and get away. He might actually be contemplating how to get rid of me right now. "Mr. Norcro
Leonardo's POV. Tom! I really want to stich his lips up with a sharp needle right now! Why does he have to talk so much? "Really? I love these too." Zavi's excited voice reached my ears. I looked at her in surprise. She is not making fun of me? She seems genuinely excited. "Will you share these with me, please?" I did not know a simple question like this could make me feel so insanely happy. Feeling like a silly love struck teenager I request Tom to put the tray by the lake, the way he does it normally. "Please get some more of the lemonade." I instructed while looking at Zavi for conformation if she wanted th
Saira's POV.I eyed the piece of cheese held right under my nose. The smell, oh the heavenly smell. Directing a glare at the owner of the fingers holding it did not have the desired effect. The devil just grinned at me! He knows he has got me!Narrowing my eyes at him I opened my mouth not taking my eyes away from the man. Just as my lips were about to close over the deliciousness it suddenly moved away. Startled I looked at it. The devil gave me an evil smile and popped it in his own mouth!."You did not!" I say shocked."Oh Yeah, did it too!" Leonardo Norcross, exhibiting a total lack of good sense smirked at me!"You are doomed." I say as I get up slowly. "No one,
Leonardo's POV. For a moment there I had thought she was going to ask me to take her back. But the words she said, took me by surprise and relief tumbled through me. Now I don't have to think of ways to stay connected with her.Of course I will be her friend. In my mind I already am."Friends." I held out my hand to her.She raised her hand as she sat, and gave it to me. I grabbed it eagerly, almost as though afraid she could change her mind."I need to go now."That simple sentence wiped away the goofy smile from my face."Why? You said you will have lunch with m
Leonardo's POV. I paced restlessly in my office room. I just cannot sit and wait. Wait for that one phone call, from my investigators. "Do you need a change of shoes big brother? These must already be having holes in them" Mark's crack of a joke made me want to pick him up yet again and throw him out of my office. "Shut up Mark." I said sitting down at last on my chair, only to get up again in a few seconds and resume my pacing. I am too worked up to stay still. "Why has he not called yet? How long can it take to find out a girl's address?" I blurted feeling edgy. "More than fourteen minutes I would say." Mark
Leonardo's POV. She let me hold her for few moments, till I felt her go stiff and pushed at my chest till I loosened my hold on her. She was okay. "Mr . Norcross, what are you doing here?" She asked as she pushed me away with more force intending to slip out of my arms. She continued to try however I am not taking my hands from around her. She can push and pull all she wants to! "Do you know how worried I was Zavi?" I asked her. "Don't ever do this again. After you got down from my car two days back you seemed to have disappeared." "My father- h
Saira's POV. How dare he deny being with Mira? And why is he doing it? He is already aware of my families association with the Johnson's and still he denies being Mira's soon to be fiancé. I felt a soft touch on my cheek. Leonardo! I tried to swat his fingers away only to have him put his arms around my waist and pull me towards him. "Zavi, I almost went mad with worry these last two days." He said softly. His warm brown eyes boring into me. I could feel myself softening towards him. Snap out of it Saira! I looked away with effort. "Mr. Norcross, I don't understand your need to worry like this, but thank you for your concern." I know I am being rude. But I have to be careful with this man. He is breaking through m
