LOGINLeena"How is that possible?" Both of them asked at the same time. "I don't know. He sent an address. We should go there now" I said frantically, grabbing my things to leave."He could be messing with you. Besides, there is no guarantee that he really knows" Vivian argued. "Right. And a son? How does he know that? Did the scan carry the gender?" I shook my head."I doubt he's telling the truth""If it weren't for him, I'd have never known I had two children. I have to go" Vivian and George exchanged looks. "I'll go with you""I'm coming too" "The children...""Vera is with them and the security too. I'll text a few of my men to join them" George offered and I nodded. Three of us filed out of the house after I informed Vera. We climbed into the car. George took the wheel and he drove to the address. We arrived at a sketchy part of town, looking odd in the expensive car. We got looks from people who piled out in the street. "Wait here" George ordered and climbed out. I watched wit
Leena"Leena?" George's voice interrupted the conversation. I quickly hung up and looked at him. He was already staring at the news on the television. He chuckled dryly. "You've seen it" "Vivian called" I said simply and he nodded. "This would change public opinion about the reason for the divorce" I nodded. I looked up at him, his face was neutral. He didn't seem sad but I couldn't write it off. She was his wife for years surely he must be upset at the news. "Are you okay?" He shrugged. "I made sure the news was published" he said firmly."How long have you known?" "Two years" I gasped. "You have been married for...""Three years" he sighed deeply. "I've said it countless times, Flora and I are only married in name. We don't love each other. She came for the wealth and I married her for Scott. I realize I made a terrible mistake by doing that" he sighed again. "I could have taken care of my son without a marriage. My family pressured me into accepting. I thought I was doing
LeenaGeorge showed me to a large room. It looked big enough to be the master bedroom."Is this your bedroom?" His silence gives me an answer."I cannot stay here while you...""Please, Leena. You're here because of me. I need to fix the situation and I want you to be comfortable while that happens" I wanted to argue but he was already walking out the door.My phone rang again and I glanced at Genna's name across the screen. I end the call. My fingers hovered over the news app but I didn't give in to temptation. I turned off my phone and put it into the drawer.I tried to sleep but it just wasn't coming so I went back downstairs and I saw George making calls. I admired him for a moment until I was reminded that our admiration for each other is what brought us here in the first place."You should be resting" he said, glancing up to meet my
LeenaMy palms dripped as I stared at the news. My eyes shifted frantically to meet Anna's."There are reporters downstairs. The lobby is blocked" her voice was cautious."Oh goodness. What is this?" I cried out in frustration."I think we should find a way to get you out of the building and out of the media's sight. Things are blowing up and they're saying really bad things"As expected. I didn't want to be caught in the middle of this. I liked to be far away from scandal. My phone rang, Genna's name flashing across the screen. I silenced it.With the news of their divorce, I'd be the easiest to blame. I grabbed my things."I have to go now. Take care of everything and keep me updated. I rushed out and to the elevator. Against my better judg
GeorgeI knew my decision to end the marriage would come with a lot of headaches. It had been in my mind for quite a long time now that I didn’t push through for numerous reasons. It wasn’t worth the stress. I could ignore Flora and do my things, but I had a reason now. LeenaAnd Flora’s presence was standing in my way.“Mr. Hale” I looked up at my live-in- assistant who stood at the door of my home office.“Your parents are here” He announced, a cautious look on his face.“Where is Scott?”“In his room sir”“Good. Keep him there. I don’t want him seeing anyone. Understood?”
LeenaThe house was dead silent. Not even Vivian or Vera was awake. I took a bottle of water from the kitchen and then I checked on Revna, she was fast asleep. I sat by her bedside for a moment, just collecting my thoughts and reminiscing about the day.Everything. Including thoughts that I’d rather not think about. When I felt a bit better, I kissed her forehead and returned to my room. A shower and a change of clothes and I was feeling a lot better.My room was silent, just like my head but sleep eluded me. I found a book and read until my tired eyes found sleep.I woke up late the next morning but not late enough because I could hear Revna’s voice. I looked out my window and spotted Alfred, so
