Mag-log inLEONARD KISH'S POV,Listening to Sam speak, I wondered if he was right, but then, I couldn't deny the fact that she was good at playing along, even as scenes from Mr. Yuka's birthday party replayed before me.My shoulders slumped as disappointment filled my heart. My lips turned downward in sadness, and as I drowned helplessly in what I was feeling inside, Sam's words broke into my thoughts: "It seems you've really fallen for her." He said, a broad smile spreading across his face.I puffed a breath.'I think that's what it is afterall - love.'"I can't say for certain, Sam," I replied, my thoughts drifting back to Elsa. "I just know I don't want her to leave." I allowed the words flow from my heart, and as I thought about it, I became increasingly certain that I needed her to stay with me. Yes, I wanted to get to know her and live with her - forever."Could it still be because of her land?" Sam's question snapped me out of my thoughts.But then, I realized I hadn't thought about it f
SAM ERNOD'S POV,"That was what happened, Sam," My Boss said to me that afternoon. Frustration deeply etched in his face as he gestured to me, explaining the conversation between his wife and Jessica the night before."Then she said she doesn't want to see Jessica again!" He clenched his fists resting on the table as his gaze drifted into space. I had never seen him that angry.I sighed slowly letting out my breath as I thought about how to say it to him. He obviously had gotten the situation wrong.After a while, I fixed my gaze on him. "Were you able to talk about it?"My Boss snapped out of his thoughts, his head turning towards me in a swift movement, then he shrugged his shoulders frustratedly. "How was I supposed to do that?" He replied. "She didn't even give me the chance to talk to her, and when I wanted her to see how dangerous Jessica was, she used my words against me."He sighed."How was I supposed to ask her if she meant what she had told her when she didn't even give
LEONARD KISH'S POVI was still lost in my thoughts when Jessica began to speak again. "I actually came to speak with your wife, Leo, I didn't mean any of it, I couldn't possibly hurt your wife, not when I know she has just a few more years with you." Her words tumbled out of her lips, as she forced a smile on her face. Her words had only added flames to the anger brewing within me, but then, she was my friend, and I knew I had to be careful.Seeing how crazy she was, I knew I had to be collected, so she wouldn't go out of hand."It's getting late, already, I think you should start going," I said to her and immediately, I began to lead the way, but after I had taken two steps away from Elsa, I stopped and without a second thought I walked back to Elsa."I'll just see her off, then I'll be back," I told her, staring straight into her eyes, hoping she would at least say something, but Elsa didn't say anything to me, instead, she turned and walked away.Although I didn't know why I had
LEONARD KISH'S POV,My eyes flew open as it dawned on me what had just happened - Elsa had just landed a dirty slap on Jessica, I couldn't stop my lips from curving upwards in both shock and amusement. That was quite unexpected. Just when I thought about coming to her rescue, I never knew she was more capable than I had thought."And I'm going to beat the hell out of you if you don't get out of my home, this very moment!" Elsa thundered with a gesture, her hand stretched towards the other path.But then something else caught my attention - my home! She just said her home! I couldn't help but stiffen a chuckle as satisfaction stirred inside of me. I quickly took cover behind a tree, I wanted to see what would happen next, and of course I didn't want to be caught eavesdropping.Unlike what I had expected, a sharp shrill laughter burst out of Jessica's throat instead, echoing the mockery in her heart, causing my forehead to twitch."You must really think you're something!" Jessica poi
ELSA ELKINS' POV,Laughter from the balcony drifted into my room causing my muscles to tighten in displeasure. I knew I had to leave. I crawled out from the middle of the large bed and dragged myself out of the room. I shot one last glare at the balcony before turning away.A strong yet gentle, cool night's breeze kissed my skin as soon as I stepped out of the mansion.Sighed!"Where should I go from here?" I murmured, but the breeze kept calling me towards the garden and almost immediately, I yielded to it's allures.Deep within, I just knew I needed to go somewhere - somewhere far away from anything that had to do with Leonard.As soon as I sank into the soft white cushion in the swing, I sighed even as memories from Daniella's visit strolled before my eyes and made it watery.The thought of not attending her wedding broke my heart, and I wished I could just disappear from Leonard's dungeon forever.I was still lost in my thoughts that I didn't even hear the approaching footsteps u
LEONARD KISH'S POV, Silence stretched upon us, but Jessica's gaze was poking, it held an unmistakable anticipation, accentuated by the broad smile plastered on her face. As I stared at her, I knew I had to carefully remind her not to have any wishful thoughts. "Leo!" "Leonard!!" Jessica urged, her eyes glinting with a mix of excitement. How could I possibly drench that excitement with a disappointing response? I reasoned, looking for the most unhurtful way to tell her, but before I could form the words, her voice came again. "So you have a plan to remarry, right?!" She stated with a wide smile."Aaargh!" My tightly pressed lips loosened as I adjusted in my seat and cleared my throat. "I actually haven't thought about it," I answered, my voice heavy with sincerity. Seeing the anticipation in her eyes and knowing what she wanted, I couldn't possibly hurt her feelings, not after what she had done for me. "Besides, I'm going to be married for thr
