The Marriage Contract 2-3
Alexa sighed as she, and Leo came out of the company. It was weird although she understood why she had to oversee that."I was surprised you accepted the client," Leo confessed.Alexa chuckled. "He was investing, Leo. A huge amount of money for that matter. Do you know how much interest we could gain?"Leo nodded. "Indeed, I just don't feel right about it. It's not like your company is the only one on the planet."Alexa looked at him and shook her head. "Go turn the car around."As they both walk close to the road, Leo furrowed his brows upon sighting a speeding car by his left charging towards them. His eyes widened in horror, and he immediately pushed Alexa away from the car as it ran past them.Alexa's heart skipped as it happened. "What..." She was breathing fast.Leo looked at the car with a panicked expression. It stopped, and then it drove off. He frowned wondering what just happened. He was getting a bad vibe from it."What just happened? Were we almost ran over? Or...or did h
The Marriage Contract 2-4
"How come I'm not seeing anything working out, Joe?"Joe kept his head lowered in fear of his father. "I'm sorry, dad.""You're sorry? I didn't know I have a failure as a son. One simple task, but you can't do.""I tried. I've tried doing things to get Damien expelled, but it's not enough.""Then do something that could tie him to something bad, Joe. Or maybe focus on his sister, you told me her anger is as worse as her brother, didn't you?""Dad, her kind of anger is throwing tantrums. It doesn't have much effect. It can't help us with anything.""And what about the other brother? You said he's calm and doesn't like getting involved with fights..."Joe looked at his dad. "He's my next target, dad.""What are you going to do?""Something that could really cause an alarm to not just the school, but his family."...(19th. May. Thursday.)"It's school once again. I hate it." Damien complained with distaste.Damon blinked trying to ponder on something. "Is it just me, or isn't it weird
The Marriage Contract 2-5
Damon stared deeply at Joe as he entered the cafeteria. He wondered exactly what was going on in that dumb head of his. He's suspecting. He's weird, and most importantly, he's up to something against his brother, Damien, but what that thing is is what he doesn't know, and what he needs to find out.They heard a gong sound and looked as their principal entered the cafeteria with a speaker. "Everyone of you, there's something I need to address."Everyone went quiet and listened attentively."Something important was stolen from my cabinet. Our school's first award."Everyone gasped at the information, and murmurings started."Keep quiet all of you!"Everyone held their ears with flinch as the sound went loud into it."As you all know, since it's our first award, it is considered our lucky charm. Whoever stole it, or whoever saw who stole it should report it to my desk, or confess now!"Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads insinuating innocence."This kind of behavior is not

Leo entered the principal's office, and met Damon kneeling on the floor. It angered him. "Sorry, but why is my son kneeling?"The principal stood up. "Mr. Hodge..."He slammed the door shut. "I asked a question."Alexa looked at the principal with raised brows making her sigh. "Like I told your wife, it's a punishment. What your son did...""Where's the evidence?""We found it in his locker, Mr. Hodge. Almost all the students witnessed it."Leo sighed and looked at Damon. "Did you do it?"Damon looked at his dad. "No."Leo looked back at the principal. "He said he didn't do it.""You just believed because he said it?" The principal asked in disbelief."He's my son, and I know him well. He's not capable of such, and besides, why would he steal the stupid award? What does he want it for?" Leonard questioned out of annoyance.Alexa sighed really not liking the fact that Damon was on his knees."Mr. Hodge..""Before this continues, can my son get up?" She interrupted.The principal looked

Joseph entered his father's office and stood in front of him with lowered head.His father scoffed as he noticed the attitude on his face. "I can sense it's another failure.""I did something today, dad. To bring Damon out of his hoods...""But it backfired?""I was able to get the full attention of his parents."His father looked at him. "Leonard Hodge came to the school?"Joseph nodded. "Yes, dad. He came, although he is bound to prove Damon is innocent.""What did you do?" "I framed him. Now the school thinks he's a thief.""Hmm. Keep doing that, and make sure you succeed in ruining his kids' reputation."Joseph looked at his dad. "You want me to repeat it?""Try, and see if you can, or maybe do something much worse."Joseph nodded. "Yes, dad."...(20th. May. Friday.)"Leo," Alexa called looking at him. She was sitting on the bed.Leo looked at her as he wore his suit jacket. "What is it?""I know you've been thinking about the issue in school yesterday, so I was wondering abou

Emily frowned at the statement. "I don't...I don't really get you, Leo."Leo sighed and sat down in front of her. "There's something happening, Emily. Something wrong.""Tell me what you've noticed, then.""Before my dad died, he called me and gave me a warning. Just a warning, and then that same day I am sure someone wanted to scare us off. A car almost ran Alexa over if I hadn't gotten her off the road, and also I got your call saying my dad died?"Emily looked away trying to think of anything wrong. "So you're saying there's probably a new enemy?"Leo nodded. "Yeah. For starters, my dad was poisoned, who poisoned him?"Emily looked at him in thought. "We're actually thinking it's an enemy. One of his enemies."Leo nodded again. "OK, if it's one of his enemies, then I'm thinking that enemy could have a score to settle with his family which is me.""You're really thinking someone is after you guys?"Leo shook his head. "It's a gut, Emily. I mean, just yesterday, I got a call saying D

(21st. May. Saturday.)"Daddy," Aria called him again for the umpteenth time making him sigh as he couldn't focus on what he was reading.He looked down at her as she sat beside him with her head on his shoulder. "What is it this time?""How did you meet mom?"Leo's brows furrowed. "I thought I'd told you this before.""I like hearing it. I didn't know there was anything like contract marriage."Leo nodded. "Hmm.""Although I browsed it, and I saw that contracts are meant to expire. Is marriage contracts any different?"Leo blinked in thought. "Um, I think my and mommy's cases are different."Aria nodded. "OK, but what if it has an expiry date, does it mean you, and mom is not married?"Leo frowned, absorbed in thought at the statement. He has never thought about that. Never.He rubbed his hand on her back. "Stop thinking too much, princess. That's not something you should be thinking about."Aria looked at her dad. "Daddy?"Leo looked at her. "What is it?" He's got to say. She distur

(23rd. May. Monday.)"Everything is on set right?" Marco asked his fellow men, and they nodded."Although this isn't our type of job. We don't frame people, we just kill." One of them said, not liking what they were about to do.Mason looked at Marco. "He's right. Why are we going to great lengths? We don't normally waste time. We are always swift with our jobs, but this new one...""Seems there's a personal vendetta against the target." Marco completed.Mason nodded. "Yes. Do you know exactly what this is about? Since we killed that old man by poison, that was when I know we were going south. Who was that old man?"Marco shook his head. "Don't know. Boss won't give me direct information. All I know is there's something like paying and owing, trade by barter, something went on between the boss and the old man.""This place isn't our territory, so we really need to be careful. This guy we are after, we were already warned he's a force to be reckoned with via the voice record by our cli
