Alexa POV.I sat on the couch as I got home with a sigh. I had to meet up with Phoebe since she happened to be the only one committed to the baby shower thing.Something I equally find weird.Even though I told her I don't want it to be too grand, and just want it to be between friends, I know Phoebe has her own plans for it.And even with the way things are, I just know too many celebrations shouldn't be needed. No need for design, and whatnot. Just friends, and gifts. Cakes, food, drinks, and fun."Babe." Leo came walking down the stairs. "You're here." He said walking up to me, and I nodded.He nodded and sat beside me. "You stayed long in the office?"I shook my head. "No. I met up with Phoebe."He nodded and leaned against the couch.Everything I learned today is still stuck, and disturbing my thoughts. I have a feeling Leo knows about it."I hear godfather is into illegal things." I dropped.He looked at me in surprise which looks somehow like a shock. Of course, he knows."Wher
11th October. Monday.Mr. Hodge nodded. "Yeah. Prepare for it. By next week the drugs will be arriving."William equally nodded without choice. "Although, doesn't it have a specific date? I'm pretty sure you're gonna need me to be one hundred percent ready.""I'm gonna need you to be ready all the time, William. I'll call when the time has arrived..." His phone began vibrating. He looked at it to see Lion calling. He put it back in his ears. "I'll call back."He picked Lion's call. "What is it?""Boss, we have a problem.""What problem?""It's Randolph, sir. He was arrested."Mr. Hodge widened his eyes at the news. "Arrested? How come?""I don't know. He was supposed to do as you commanded, but he ended up caught by the police."Mr. Hodge's teeth gritted at the news. "Damn it." He hung the call-up and called Pete.Levi looked around while Florence just watched knowing she's been cast aside. Emily too was watching wondering between Audrey, and Levi who the snitch is."Hello boss, I'm a
Vincent couldn't stop thinking about Carmen since that day he coincidentally met Leonard again. Truly, Carmen explained but he could see through her lies thanks to the fact that he was informed by her she's been pregnant for two months and...That was stupid because that month she supposedly got pregnant, and he wasn't around. He was on a full-month trip.He knew Carmen was lying to his face, but he just decided to let it go. He wants to know exactly who the father of that child is.His phone began ringing, and he smirked seeing it was a call he's been expecting.He picked up his phone from his desk and answered the call. "Got something from me?""I've been watching her as you wanted, sir. But all I can see is her associating with friends.""Friends? Any boy included?""No, sir. All girls."Vincent sighed and nodded. "Just keep tailing her, and if your cover is blown, then no payment.""Yes, sir." Vincent hung up and banged his desk in anger....Carmen went into a hidden spot and
Leonard let out a shaky breath upon seeing Alexa asleep as he arrived. Driving back home, his head has been filled with a lot of thoughts.It hasn't exactly dawned on him about what he did to his wife until he let it all out to Sasha. It was like a burden slightly releasing him.It scared him, but he knows she's gonna find out eventually. What scared him the more is what will happen to her when she finds out. News like that could break her, and wouldn't be good for her condition.He walked and sat on his bed after pulling his jacket off.Alexa isn't gonna forgive him. She's gonna hate him, and he knows that. The dreams she's even having don't even help things. He could tell his wife is days or weeks away from finding out it was him she saw the day she had the accident.He brought his phone out of his pocket as it began ringing. It was Owen."Hey." He picked."I only called to inform you about the drugs that'll be passing our borders this week.""Seriously?"Owen nodded. "Yeah. He's st
Four days later.15th October. Friday."Boss.""Make sure you circle around her. Get rid of her guards, and bring her to me.""Should we be rough to her? She's heavily pregnant.""Do you have any conscience, Steve?"Steve shook his head. "I'll do what you want, boss.""Good, now be fast about it."Steve hung the call-up and looked at his men. "Two of you, go to the other side of the mall, we'll stay here. Once she's out, we attack."They all nodded, and go do as he ordered.In no time, their target came out. "Take it to the car, thank you." She told one of her guards."There are only four guards. It won't be hard. You guys attack, and we'll follow." Steve said over the ear pod."Roger that."They both came out of their hiding spot causing Alexa to look."Ma'am, get inside the car!" She suddenly heard making her heart begin to beat fast."Oh, God." She began walking more closer to the car as fast as her legs could carry her, but she was immediately cornered by Steve. "Boo!"Her heart s
Flashback. (18th August. Wednesday)LEONARD'S POV.I walked inside my father's office with a little smile on my face, since I was deeply happy with the news I got today, and the funny thing, twas more than one.The universe is really working in my favor."I told you not to come back here, Leonard." My dad told me, as I walked to where he sat on his office chair."I just came to give you some information," I told him."Hope it is the information I want.""Alexa is pregnant." I dropped not wanting to prolong it further.He tilted his head at me. "Pregnant?"I nodded. "Yeah. Surprise."He furrowed his brows at me. "She's awake?"I nodded.He narrowed his eyes at me expecting me to say more, and I do know what he wants me to say. "She doesn't remember anything, dad. She doesn't know how she got into the accident."He heaved a breath of relief. "What a very bad job you did, son."I looked away from him.He chuckled. "You know I didn't send you to get her pregnant, right?"I looked back at
Alexa woke up and groaned as she felt an ache in her back. She sighed looking around the unfamiliar place, her eyes still quite blurry."Hmm." She moaned as her back kept aching her. It made her breathing uneven."She's awake at last," Steve told Lion.Something settled on Alexa, causing her to stumble on realization. She was supposed to be heading home, but then she remembered...she looked around, her eyes becoming clear. She tried to talk, but something was stopping her. She tried to move, but something was equally stopping her. She felt her hands tied at the back.Her eyes widened, and she looked around at the unfamiliar people. She couldn't voice out anything.Lion and Steve stood up. "Boss she's awake." Lion said on the call.Owen didn't know what to do, although he knows Alexa doesn't know him, so he was safe, but the question is what Mr. Hodge will do about it. He can be as scary as his father.Alexa could tell what was happening. She was kidnapped, but in her condition, trying
16th October. Saturday.Leonard couldn't sleep all through the night seeing as his wife was not by his side. It bugged him to think about what they were putting her through, or how many consciences his father have left.The stupid, and useless guards he hired to protect her couldn't even do their jobs. His eyes on them felt like death was staring at all of them. They were scared."Where did you train? Aren't you supposed to be good at martial arts? How on earth did you let my wife slip away?" Leonard asked looking down on them as they knelt, his eyes filled with anger.One of them looked up at him. "It was unexpected. They just came out of nowhere."Leonard scoffed looking at him. "Isn't it part of your job to be always prepared for the unexpected? What kind of lame excuse..."He heard a car ride into his compound making him sigh. "It seems your boss has arrived."All of them sigh out of relief knowing they were slowly getting off the claws of Leonard Hodge.Leonard watched as their b
