The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT
A few minutes after Leonardo escorted Riley out, the door opened again. Leonardo stepped into the room and looked straight at me.“How are you feeling?”“I’m fine.”He came closer to the bed. “Do you need anything?”I shook my head. “No. I’m okay.”He studied me for a moment, as if he didn't completely believe me, then crossed the room and sat on the two-seater sofa. He pulled out his phone and began scrolling through it.I watched him from the bed. He looked tired. More tired than he would ever admit.“Leonardo.”He looked up from his phone. “Hmm?”“You should go home and rest.”“I don't need rest. I'm fine.”“You've been here for two days.”“And I'm still fine.”“Riley is waiting for you,” I reminded him. “You have work to do, and you've already done enough for me.”His expression barely changed. “Adrian is handling the work, and Riley doesn't mind.”I was about to respond when the door opened. The doctor walked in with two nurses behind him.“Let's check your vitals.”Leonardo imm
The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER NINETY SEVEN
LEONARDO’S POVThe moment the doctor told us Natalia was awake, I didn't waste another second. I pushed through the ICU doors, with Riley following close behind me.The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the machines surrounding Natalia.Her face was pale. Her lips dry, and exhaustion had settled over her features. Tubes and wires surrounded her, making her look more fragile.I slowed as I approached her bed. Riley stopped near the entrance. She didn't say anything. She simply stayed there, giving us the privacy we needed.Natalia's eyes were closed. For a few seconds, I wasn't sure she was awake at all. Then her eyelids fluttered.“Leonardo…” Her voice was barely above a whisper.I pulled the chair beside her bed closer and sat down. “I'm here.”Her eyes opened slowly. She looked at me for several seconds, her gaze moving over my face as if she needed to make sure I was unharmed.Then, with her weak voice, she asked, “Are you okay?”I stared at her. “You're the one lyin
The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER NINETY SIX
LEONARDO'S POVThe moment the hospital doors opened, the medical team rushed Natalia straight into surgery.I stood in the corridor and watched them disappear through the doors, my hands still stained with her blood.Two days ago, I never would have imagined I'd be standing in a hospital, waiting for news about the woman I'd spent so long trying to keep at a distance. But none of that mattered anymore. Natalia had stepped in front of a bullet meant for me without hesitation.If she hadn't moved, I would be the one behind those doors right now, lying on an operating table while doctors fought to keep me alive.I hated owing anyone anything. But this wasn't something I could repay with money, a favor, or a simple thank-you.She had risked her life for mine and I didn't know what to do with that weight. Minutes dragged into hours. I barely moved from the waiting area. Every time the operating room doors opened, my eyes immediately lifted, hoping to see the doctor. Eventually, a doct
The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
LEONARDO'S POVI turned at the sound of the gunshot.For a split second, I couldn't understand what I was seeing. Natalia stood between me and Sebastian, her body jerking from the impact. Blood spread across her chest as her knees gave way.“Natalia!”I caught her before she hit the ground.Her weight collapsed into my arms. Blood seeped through my fingers as I looked down at her. “Natalia, stay with me.”Her eyes fluttered open.She stared up at me, her breathing shallow and uneven. Her lips parted, but for a moment, no words came. Then she raised one trembling hand and touched my face. Her palm was wet with blood.“I... couldn't bear someone hurting you,” she whispered.My chest tightened. “Natalia—”Her hand slipped from my cheek and her eyes closed.“No.” I tightened my hold on her. “Natalia!”She didn't respond.I pressed my fingers against her neck. I felt a pulse. Faint, but there.Relief washed through me.I looked up. Sebastian stood several feet away, staring at us. The

LEONARDO'S POVThe tracker remained active on my phone.A small signal blinked on the screen, showing Sebastian's location as we followed his vehicle through the winding roads. “Keep going,” I ordered the driver.The SUVs behind us stayed close, my guards keeping pace as we chased Sebastian. For several minutes, the signal remained steady. Then Sebastian's vehicle suddenly picked up speed and the distance between us began to widen. “Don't lose him.”The driver pressed harder on the accelerator.The signal on my screen shifted sharply.Sebastian had turned onto another road.I looked up, expecting to see his vehicle ahead of us but I didn't.Then the signal disappeared.I froze, then refreshed the tracker, but the signal didn't return.“Slow down.”The driver immediately eased off the accelerator. I looked through the windshield, searching the road ahead.“Where did he go?”I stared at the dead signal on my phone.The tracker had been tested before we left for the warehouse. It had

RILEY'S POVI watched from the window as Leonardo, Damien, and the guards left the house. The vehicles disappeared through the gates, heading toward the warehouse where Sebastian was waiting.The moment they were out of sight, I turned back to the technicians. “Let's get started.”They moved immediately. The screens came alive as the technicians pulled up the CCTV feeds around the warehouse. Adrian stood beside me, his attention fixed on the monitors.Our task was simple. We needed to trace Sebastian's vehicles backward and find out where they had come from before reaching the warehouse. If Sebastian had moved Grandma somewhere else, this might be our only chance to discover where. A few minutes later, one of the technicians leaned toward his screen. “Sebastian's vehicle just arrived.”My attention snapped toward the monitor.A dark SUV entered the warehouse compound, followed by several vehicles carrying Sebastian's men. The technician immediately began tracing the SUV's route b

The knock came again. I stood in the middle of the room, breath uneven and my palms damp, I stared at the door contemplating whether to open the door or not. I reached for the door knob, my fingers trembling, I twisted the door knob and the door swung open. Leonardo stood there, his expression u
