It was a sunny Saturday and Leo was seated in the comfort of his study going through a couple of books on his desk when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." he said.His housekeeper Helen,walked into the room. "Sir,you have a few guests waiting for you downstairs." she said.
"Did they say who they were?" he asked.She shook her head. "They wouldn't say." she said.He stared at her with a displeasing look. "And you just let them in the house?"
She shuddered. "I'm sorry sir." she said."Go." he said and she slightly curtsied and walked away.
He stood up and walked out of the study room. He walked down the length of stairs and saw Gory and Oliver seated on the sofa."The ghost visitors who won't tell Helen who they are." he said chuckling as he walked to them.
They stood up smiling."I told you he's gonna be in today." Gory said as he shook Leo's hand and Oliver did the same."You were definitely right about it Gory." OlHer heart raced as he walked towards her. He wore a white shirt,a slim fit royal blue tuxedo and a blue polka dot tie.His hair was stylishly cut at the nape of his neck. She looked away making herself understand that she disliked this man and was only getting married to him because of her mother.He sat beside her and she could feel her stomach churn again. She was sure she was already sick of him."My son," Lucinda said kissing his forehead. "I'm so proud of you." she said."I'm the one who's more proud here Lucinda," Carina chipped in. "I'm having such a handsome man as my son in law." she said smiling and held his cheek tenderly.Leo could hardly suppress his embarrassment. They were treating him like a little boy."Mom," he whined."Cut the kids some break you too. It's their engagement tonight,give them some room." Henry said coming out from nowhere with Rio."Let the ceremony begin." Rio said motioning to Leo to come forward
Jenna was in the kitchen chopping some cilantro when Kylie walked into the kitchen."Good morning Kylie." Jenna said taking notice of her."Morning Jen," Kylie said taking a bottled water out of the fridge. "What's cooking?" she asked as she reached for a glass on the rack and emptied the bottled water in to the glass."Bacon,eggs,sausage,pudding,mushroom and toast." she said as Kylie gulped down the glass of water.Kylie leaned on the kitchen counter closing the bottle. "That sounds delicious." she said.She replaced the water in the bottle and placed it in the fridge. "I'll be at the dining to get a few sketches done." she said."Okay,I'll be done in a few minutes." Jenna said as Kylie walked out of the kitchen.She went into her room,picked up the sketchbook and returned to the dining room. She gazed at her sketch and grudgingly loved it.If only she was getting married to the man of
Kylie walked into the fabric room and picked up a white fabric. She ran her fingers around the lines of the fabric feeling the texture when Becca came up to her."Ma'am,someone is here to see you." she said as Kylie picked up the fabric and laid it on the table."Who?" she asked."Rex Monroe." Becca said and Kylie froze.Her heart pounded against her chest. Different thoughts ran through her mind like wildfire.Rex had never been to her office before and she wondered why he came."Send him in here." she said and Becca nodded and within a few seconds,she returned with Rex."Rex." she called out softly in agitation."Don't call my name." he said in annoyance."Leave us." Kylie said gesturing to Becca and she walked away."It's a surprise to..""See me here right? That's what you were about to say huh?" he said giving her a disapproving look."Yes. I never expected to see you here since you didn't tell
Gory Wilson walked into his apartment and switched on the light as he hummed. "Christ!" he yelled in shock seeing Leo cross legged and his bodyguards behind him. "Hello friend." Leo said with a smirk on his face. Gory bolted to the door but was stopped immediately by one of the guards who dragged him towards Leo. "Going somewhere Mr Gory Wilson?" Leo asked. Knowing that Leo had never called him by his full name since college,he knew he was ratted out. "Leo..what..what brings you here?" he asked in agitation. Leo folded his hand into a fist on the couch. "I should be asking you why you are running." "It's..it's nothing. You gave me a fright and I thought you were some hitman hired to kill me." he said with an uneasy chuckle. "Well,I do not need to be hired to kill you when I can do that myself."Leo said as he uncrossed his legs. "Kill,kill me?" he stammered. "What wrong have I done?" he asked as he
Kylie took one more look at the unfinished design she was sewing when her phone rang. It was an unknown number and she picked up after the third ring."Hello." she said."Kylie dear," a worried voice responded."Yes,that's me. Please who's on the line if I may ask?" she asked as she placed her hand on the mannequin."It's Lucinda. Your mother gave me your contact." she said and Kylie felt her something sink down her stomach."Oh,Mrs Michaelson. I'm sorry if I sounded rude in any way,""No,no,no,you weren't my dear." she said.A relief washed over her. She definitely didn't know how was to speak to her soon mother in law. "Is there any problem?" Kylie asked."I think there is. I've not heard from Leo for two days now and I'm worried. He's not been seen at his company or his house or even here." she said anxiously."Calm down Mrs Michaelson,I'm sure he's fine." Kylie tried to soothe her."You don't understand my dear. I know
Kylie walked out of the building and her driver came rushing to her."I was about coming to see you ma'am." he said."What's the matter?" Kylie asked noticing his tense and worried look on the middle aged man's face."My wife was admitted in the hospital. She's having our fourth child and my daughter just called to tell me she had complications while giving birth.""Oh my God." Kylie gasped."Please ma'am I need to be with her now." he pleaded."Sure." she agreed. "I have your account details with me.

He nodded and thanked her once more.He handed the car keys to her and she got into the car. She picked up her phone and made a transaction of three thousand dollars to him. She dropped her phone and turned on the car
"Good morning sir."Helen said as she placed a cup of coffee in front of Leo."Morning." He answered as he took a sip from the cup. It was Ten AM and was still home and wasn't intending to be at the office till Twelve PM for the board meeting.He took a bite from the toast spread in front of him and washed it down with the coffee.Just then Oliver walked into the dining room."Isn't it too early for a visit?" Leo asked as he took a sip out of his coffee again."When issues arise,one doesn't need to care about time to sort them out." Oliver said."Have a seat friend,you may not have had breakfast before coming here," he said as he called out for Helen. "Helen.""No Leo,it's fine." he said as he sat down. "I'm not here for that.""You called for me." Helen came to Leo."You may leave." he said and she walked away"What brings you here Olive?" Leo asked."It's about Gory," Oliver said and Leo's expression changed. "He told m
Kylie was admiring her work when Becca came up to her."Ma'am,the security said this was dropped for you." she said handing over the car keys to her.Kylie took the keys from her and recalled the night her car broke down.

He only said someone brought the car in ,said it was fixed already and the keys should be handed to you specifically." Becca explained.Leo,she said to herself."Thank you."she said to Becca and she left.Few minutes later,Becca returned holding her phone."Ma'am,your phone has been ringing in the office." she said.Kylie got hold of the phone and a message popped up.'Pick up smarty pants.' She frowned at the message seeing it was from Leo.'And what does Mr grumpy wanna say to me?' she texted.'Lots of things that will probably annoy you.' he texted back.'What do you want Leo?' she texted.'
