10. A MAN OF GREAT CONTROL.

The POV of  Leo:

It was not easy to let her go. 

That day and even today. 

When I watched her, her life was a simple routine. I mapped out her schedule and stuck it to my brain cells. 

She would go from hospital to home and home to hospital. Very few times did that change and it was when she stopped by a grocery store or went to see that crazy friend of hers, Sophia.

So it came as a surprise to me when that evening, after being at Sophia's, instead of heading home, I saw her climb into her friend's car, all of her back exposed by the skimpy dress she had on.

It was a very startling sight for me as I have only ever seen her, unlike Sophia, in hospital scrubs, wide tees, round glasses, and pants. Never have I seen her in a dress and that too, the type she had on. 

And the shoes.

I was greatly amused when she struggled to walk in them. 

Curious as to where they were headed, I followed their car and it took me right to THE WREAKIN'.

I suspected it, halfway to the place. It was the only place girls will go dressed like that on Saturday night.

Watching her for months now, I haven't seen her drink as much as she did that night and I was even more surprised when she began to walk toward me. I had to feign ignorance like I didn't have my eyes on her all night.

Looking at her up close, with the make-up and the body she had on display, I felt something unwire in my brain.

But I kept my cool, hiding my surprise and the strange feeling away. However, I could not believe my ears when she asked me to fuck her.

I was taken aback and was even more so when she gave her reason.

Of course, I knew she was done with her housemanship. It was why I began to watch her myself because I knew it was getting close to the time. 

But to celebrate it like that?

It can only be Sophia's idea. That girl was unbelievably wild for the mayor's daughter. She must have put the ideas into her head and made her believe she needed them to become an actual woman with needs. 

Yes, I heard that. She said it out loud.

So what if she was 25 and a virgin? Although the thought did trigger my interest a little, I had to let her go, no matter how difficult it became for me. 

Most importantly, I was surprised by myself. I knew I cared about her and her well-being but what I felt that night, was not platonic. 

Her eyes battered something awake in me. Her lips were soft and inexperienced like she rightly said and it took me all of my willpower to hold back and not take her right there as she had asked.

I know. I am a man of great control.

So I let her go and prepared to go home. 

Thankfully, I was yet to leave when she ran into that bastard who watched and assaulted her.

It wasn't much but when I hit him, I made sure one or two of his ribs will be needing intense repair.

But I was greatly moved. For someone so tiny, she has a lot of energy, chasing and struggling with such a bulky guy like the pervert. 

What I didn't know was that I'd be caught on camera. That was not even a problem, since my face wasn't revealed. 

It was the raid that came after it.

I had sneaked into her house to retrieve my jacket but only after the raid had been done. 

I had a slight idea who it might have been and I went to confirm it.

Of course, I was right. They traced her thinking she was affiliated with me or she has what we were all looking for. They must have gotten hold of the CCTV footage from the police.

She did have it. I was nearly sure. Although, she wouldn't know what it was.

Currently, some of the men that executed the task we're facing injurious repercussions.

When I returned this morning, I only wanted to tell her to not move out of the house. If she did, these guys and even the police would suspect that she was running away.

It was dangerous but I already got the building owner to fix the lock with a better one. Now that they know that what they seek isn't at her place, they won't be coming again.

It would remain as though I had come to her home, ransacked it while looking for my jacket to avoid it landing in the hands of the authorities and so, she would remain the victim and not a suspect.

However, I didn't expect her to be dripping wet when I arrived. No, not in the way you're thinking. Okay, well, I made her wet like that some minutes after.

But she was initially wet from the bath she took and seeing her in that robe, the thighs I had caressed two nights before in full view, I could not help but be taken away.

The fear she had on her face severely hurt me. I was angry at myself that she felt fear upon seeing me when all I wanted was to keep her alive and safe from the sharks that were after her life.

But I relieved those fears, working on her body and mind with nothing but my fingers and lips, watching her lose all her guards in my arms.

Then that brother of hers came, disrupting the moment. 

It was hella difficult to let go of her and disappear.

Now, I wondered if I would have fucked her right there in her room. But I was bothered because it was unlike me to want a woman so badly. I have always had it easy.

Perhaps, it was the thought that she was untouched that has me this way. The thought of being the first person to hear her moan swam in my head. I wanted to see her sweaty and spent in my arms, squirming in ecstasy. I wanted to teach her the art of the most pleasurable sin and perform it together with her, while she looked up to me with a plea in her eyes.

But I also did not want to do that. I wanted her to remain pure, untainted, and clean. I wanted her blue eyes that shone through the lenses she aided them with to continue to shine, in innocence and sincerity.

I wanted to, first of all, get what I needed from her and then make sure she and that brother of hers is alive.

I shake my head to rid it of the dirty thoughts that were forming inside and take the glass of wine on the table to my lips. I gulped it down with one swig.

The watch on my wrist said it was past eight. I suppose by now, Deborah would have been hit with the new development. 

Standing up, I walked to the window side, looking at the city that lay before me in its night glory.

Her tiny voice came to me, carrying her questions. 

"Why did you help me?" "You steal?" "You're Leo?" 

I suppose it was best if she continued to view me as the infamous thief all the security authorities and agencies were looking for. 

If she saw me as anything else, then it'll become a hassle to stop myself from executing the thoughts in my head.

I hear heavy approaching footsteps behind me and so, I turn around. I am met with Walter, my aide.

"The chairman arranged another blind date, boss." He said, straightforwardly.

I shove my hands into the pockets of my pants.

"Who is it this time?." I ask, my voice lacking interest.

"The mayor of Hemsburg's daughter."

A smile made its way to my face. Sophia.

"Alright. Prepare for it." I order, before giving my back to him. I hear retreating footsteps and the soft slam of a closing door.

It was not a problem. I would attend a thousand and one blind dates and some more if that will keep my grandpa at ease.

What he should never expect of me though, is to get married to one of those young women he picked out for me like food on a restaurant menu.

Nope. 

I will not be obeying him. I am a bastard, in all ramifications but I am my mother's son still.

We are nothing if dogged.

And until I make my mother take a breath of fresh air and escape the hold of those crazy people, I will receive whatever dirt they throw at me and go to whatever blind date they set up.

I walk back to the table and pour myself another cup of wine.

When I brought it to my lips, it tasted like someone I'd be seeing soon.

    When my phone started ringing, I had the least intuition that it was going to be another twist of events.Now my brother is taken. Since I came to know about this paper, it has been nothing but heartache.“They have my brother,” I announced to Sebastian and Walter after getting off the phone.“Shit!” he cussed.We drive silently for a while, no one was talking. My mind was on freeing my brother and nothing else. They had asked for the Rubik’s cube and the necklace in exchange for him. I have nothing to lose if I hand them over to them. They said they are calling in the next two hours to tell me where to meet them and I must come alone and tell no one. That’s exactly what I am going to do, not even Sebastian would stop me from this.“Don’t worry. I will get your brother back to you with no harm done to him,” Sebastian had assur

    Mr. Edwards noticed the look on Lucas’ face. “What is it?” Mr. Edwards asked curiously.“The Rubik’s cube is gone! Yet my office did not look like it was mobbed when I got in this morning! So how did he gain entrance in?”“He played you by using Ace as a distraction to get in,” Jack said.With the Rubik’s cube in hand of Sebastian, Lucas and his grandfather knew that the Halloways Company is bound to fall, just like Leo took out other companies if nothing is done.“Involving police and asking me to standby last night was the biggest mistake you made, Mr. Edwards,” Jack said. “I have my boy, trailing both Sebastian and Debby since they met at the Wreakin’ club. I am the only one that knows how he operates. I would have gotten him last night if I was allowed but you said you don’t trust me.”M

    The next morning at the police station, Ace is sitting in the interrogation room. Shortly, Officer Steve walked into the room with a folder and dropped it on the table in front of Ace.“I thought you were the good guy until you started killing innocent people,” Officer Steve said as he sat opposite Ace.Ace chuckled. “You got the wrong guy!” Ace said.Officer Steve looked at him for a while then said, “The records in front of you said otherwise.”“Your records might be correct. But they are not talking about me, they are talking about Leo, and I am not Leo.”“So who are you?”“I am Ace! A-C-E! in case you can’t spell it.”“The information that reached us last night said that Leo was invading the Halloways Hospital. If you are not Leo, then what are you doi

    As I wanted to leave the room, my eyes fell on a Rubik’s cube set on a sizable fridge in the corner. “I have seen something like that,” I thought. I tried to remember where and when but I could not so I decided to forget about it and leave.But as I made to go out, my mind was still on the Rubik’s cube. It was as if there was a rope tied to me from the Rubik’s cube, making my going out without dragging it along impossible. So I decided to carry it along.Just as I stepped out of the room to go, I felt a piece of metal touch my head. As I turned, there was Joan with a gun. She moved backward to leave some space between us.“What are you doing with a gun, Joan?”“Nothing. I just want that Rubik’s cube.”“And why should I give it to you?”“Because I have a gun.

  • My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief   130. MOBBING THE HALLOWAYS

    When Sebastian initially approached the building, there was no sign of policemen around, not even the hospital security. Not seeing any security in sight only meant one thing to him; they cleared everywhere just to lure him into the building easily, so they could lock down the building and hem him in. But he was not going to make it that easy for them.“This is going to be tougher than I thought.”That was why he changed his plan and decided to create some panic by going behind the building to the powerhouse to knock out the power source.But just when he turned to go, a bright halogen light flashed at him, and every darkness that hid him before left!“Shit! I just caught made before I even started,” Sebastian muttered.“Oh! It’s you!” Ace said and turned off the torch.“Ace what are you doing?”

    Sebastian and Debby kept arguing without making any progress. She was determined to go.“You don’t have to be worried about my safety,” Sebastian said. “Jack and Ace are going with me. I already notified them. So you just rest right here.”“If you are going down, I want to be there to go down with you. I’m ready to take this risk.”Debby felt it was a risk worth taking, besides she has cancer anyway. Dying from a bullet or getting caught is better than dying slowly of cancer.“Even if you stop me from going with you, I will still come after you. I love you too much to let you walk right into the danger zone all alone,” Debby persisted.“You are so stubborn,” Sebastian taunted her.“Oh yeah!” Debby chuckled and put her arm on his neck then continued, “A trait I picked up
