Leon

It's been a long fucking day tracking my goods, the tension this time put all of us on our toes, Sean's been on the phone for hours pacing about in the living room.

The first time it happened, I brushed it off.

Shit goes wrong in transport sometimes. Maybe the ship stalled somewhere. Maybe someone pocketed something they shouldn’t. Whatever it was, I didn’t lose sleep over it. Not that night, at least.

I was with Tamara. She had this thing she did with her nails, real slow across my chest when she was half-asleep. I remember that more than I remember what movie we were pretending to watch. The way her fingers barely grazed over my skin like she was sketching something only she could see. Her head tucked just under my jaw, her breath warm against my neck. The whole living room had that amber glow from the lamp in the corner, quiet and still like the world had paused just for us.

But the second time?

No. That one didn’t sit right.

Sean knocked before stepping in. He never used to k

  • Possessed by the Devil   Chapter 78

    LeonThe day started with a headache and a half-finished drink from the night before. I’d left Tamara with Martha, told her I had business. Truth was, I just didn’t want her in my space. Not today, everything was totally fucked in the past few days and it's messing with my head.Something was off. Something had been off for days. Someone was poking at my shipments, scratching at the surface like a fucking rat looking for a way in. I needed answers. Fast.I lit a cigarette and stared at the files spread out on my desk. My hacker pulled data from comms, satellites, everything short of God’s diary. But the leads weren’t connecting clean. Too neat. That’s how I knew someone was covering their tracks well.I heard the door open. Didn’t look up.Only one person walks into my office like they’re afraid I’ll shoot first and ask later.Sean. He took a seat in front of me, his body relaxed on the back of the chair in a position that screams exhaustion.That told me everything I needed to know b

  • Possessed by the Devil   Tamara 76

    LeonI couldn't leave Tamara's side,not even for a second.Tamara was back home, yeah, but that didn’t mean shit to me. Not when she couldn’t sleep more than thirty minutes without crying out. Not when she winced just from sitting up. Not when she looked at me like she was trying so hard to be okay for me—but I could see she wasn’t.She wasn’t.I was supposed to be at a meeting that morning. Big deal. One of those partnerships I’d been grooming for over a year. Money, expansion, branding—the works.But Tamara woke up at 5:12 a.m. breathing like she’d just run through fire.And that was it for me.I sat on the bed, holding her hand while she cried in silence. She couldn’t even sob out loud. Just quiet tears slipping down her face while she stared at the ceiling like she was trying not to exist.This whole mess was my fault. If I had just kept that bitch in her place. If I hadn’t looked the other way when Sheila started spiraling. If I hadn’t underestimated what Tamara meant to me—what

    LeonThe next day, I learnt Sheila ran.Of course she fucking ran.Sean caught her at some cheap-ass clothing store on the edge of the city. Looked like she was trying to disappear. Had a cart full of hoodies and jeans two sizes too big. A last-minute disguise, maybe. Or desperation. Either way, I didn’t give a shit. They dragged her straight to the warehouse. No frills. No delays.I stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed, back stiff, jaw clenched so tight I could hear my teeth grind.The warehouse smelled like dust and oil. Quiet except for the slow drip of a busted pipe in the corner. It was the same place I used for deals that didn’t require paperwork. Clean enough for blood, dark enough for secrets. Fitting for someone like her.The metal door scraped open. Sean and two other guys shoved her in. Sheila stumbled, her wrists still zip-tied, hair a mess, lips trembling like she hadn’t eaten in days. Good.She saw me and froze.“Leon,” she breathed out, like the sound of my nam

    LeonSean’s voice sounded too casual for the weight of what he just said.“She’s not around the estate, boss. We’ve checked everywhere. Her car’s gone. No sign of her inside or out. Maybe she ran back to her father’s place.”I stood dead center of the room, hands shoved in my pockets, trying to stay still, trying to breathe through the red-hot rage spiraling like barbed wire in my gut.Ran?She ran?After everything? After the fucking knife? After almost killing Tamara, she had the audacity to run?Sean lingered a few feet from me, sharp enough not to meet my eyes. Smart. If he did, he’d see it. The storm waiting to blow.“She ran,” I repeated, voice low, nearly calm, but the kind of calm that came before glass shattered. “After what she did… she ran?”Sean gave a small nod. “Her father’s estate is likely. We’re tracing cameras, doing a quiet sweep.”I dragged a hand over my face. My jaw tightened so hard it clicked. “Find her.”“We’re on it.”“No, Sean. I mean find her. I want her lo

    TamaraThe first thing I felt was the dull weight in my chest. Then the ache in my side.Like something had been ripped open and poorly stitched back together.I wasn’t dead.That was the second thing I knew. Because if I was, pain wouldn’t still be sitting so deep in my bones.The room around me was too still. Too white. I opened my eyes slowly, and even that felt like lifting bricks. The ceiling was smooth. A vent above me buzzed quietly. There was a beep beside my ear—slow and steady.Hospital.I shifted slightly, and it felt like my whole body protested at once. The sting shot through my side. I gasped, my fingers twitching on the blanket.Someone was holding my hand.Leon.His head was lowered near my waist, one arm draped over my legs, his fingers locked tightly around mine. He looked... wrong. Not just tired. Spent. Messy hair. That signature jaw of his tight even in sleep. Like his whole body was still wired, still stuck in the moment before something went terribly wrong.I sw
