Covered in Blood

Leah was so confused, how could Jerome be free from all charges of money laundering after everything he had done. He even had the strength to throw his adoptive father into prison to covered all his mistakes. Was money controlling all of this?"Beep beep!!!"The horn sounded loud, startling Leah who was crossing the street. "I'm sorry!" cried Leah, half running across the crosswalk. "Stupid tourists!" shouted the driver of the car and then stepped back on the gas pedal making the car go fast.Several people looked at Leah with annoyed looks, Leah covered her face with her hair and she hurriedly walked out of that place. She felt very hungry, but she had no desire to eat. Her mind was on Mindy, would Mindy be okay? And Suzy? What if Jerome took over the mental hospital where Suzy worked?"Leah? Leah? Are you all right?"A voice startled her. Leah squinted her eyes, for a moment she lost her focus because she was too dominated by her thoughts.

Inside The Drawer

"What happened to you?! Gosh we need to go to the hospital!" screamed Leah frantically. In front of her, Damien appeared to be standing with a deathly pale face. Leah ran inside to get her bag and grabbed Damien's arm which was injured, "Can you walk?" asked Leah. Damien nodded, he winced at the pain in his hand."So what exactly happened?" asked Leah as she made her way down the stairs with difficulty. Damien chuckled, "I was too careless, I put the knife on the table, then I squatted down to clean the floor from the spilled sauce stain, suddenly my cellphone vibrated and nudged the knife so it fell and hit my right hand," Damien replied casually.Leah grimaced, "Why does the wound look so deep? Is the knife that sharp?" she asked as she studied the wound on Damien's hand. "Yeah, pretty sharp. You know the knife to cut Sashimi," Damien said while occasionally grimacing feeling the pulse in his wound which was still bleeding.Down below the apa

Unpredictable Enemy

Leah is holding a wooden photo frame with trembling hands, inside the frame there was a portrait of Damien and Jerome teenagers who were wearing baseball jerseys and seem to be smiling at the camera. The photo was set on an unknown baseball field. Leah closed her eyes, not understanding why Damien had kept that photograph. Leah wanted to ask, but she was afraid, she was all alone in Damien's apartment, and she didn't bring her cell phone. What if Damien did something bad to her?Leah chose to put the photo frame back in the drawer and act as nothing happened. From the toilet, she walked nervously to the living room where Damien seemed to be putting two cups of freshly brewed coffee on the table."I've already called Travis, he'll be here in a few minutes, maybe I should buy that kind of tools just in case your door locks again," Damien said half-jokingly, but Leah didn't laugh at all."Take a seat, enjoy your coffee," Damien said cheerfully. Leah compl

All I Need is You

"Leah? Is that you?" Adrian's voice on the other side made Leah felt comfortable. "Yes Ad, it's me..." she replied almost in a whisper. "Why did you call the office? Did you delete my cell phone number?" said Adrian. Leah was silent, organizing her messy feelings. She hated herself so much for always depending on Adrian. Hadn't she already cut ties with Adrian? She should have stopped involving Adrian with all the problems in her life."Leah? You still there? Is everything all right?" asked Adrian. Unable to bear the guilt that filled her chest, Leah decided to just end the call. She slumped on the floor, hugging herself. She was desperate, not knowing what to do.Who is Damien? Why did he have a picture together with Jerome? Were they friends? Leah wanted to ask Adrian a lot about it, but Adrian would immediately feel worried. And Leah didn't want that to happen. She did not want to involve Adrian in any business in her life. It would be very unfair

I miss You

"The pizza will be delivered soon, now tell me everything?" Adrian sat on the sofa next to Leah who looked much thinner from losing nearly three kilograms during her stay in Paris.Leah took a deep breath, she began to recount the beginning of her accidental encounter with Damien at the bakery so that coincidences happened so often that they didn't make sense. Then she ended her story with a portrait she found in a drawer near the wine cellar in Damien's apartment, "So whose photo was it?" asked Adrian, his face strained. Just hearing Damien try to get close to Leah already made him angry."Damien and Jerome," Leah's answer made Adrian widen in disbelief. He almost dropped the phone in his hand because he was too shocked. "Are you sure? I mean, were the portraits so clear that you can recognize them?" raved Adrian, tensed. Leah nodded, "Their faces haven't changed much, although the photo may have been taken when they were teenagers, their faces

Traitor

Adrian peeked through the hole in the door, his face shocked for a moment. "Who is that?" Leah asked almost whispering. Adrian walked slowly back to the sofa, "It's Damien, I don't think he knows if I'm here," spoke Adrian. They stared at each other in silence, then an idea popped into Adrian's head, "Let him in, I'll hide in the closet, lure him with all the things you want to know, don't worry I'll take care of you," whispered Adrian, Leah nodded then she opened the wardrobe and let Adrian got into it. "Put this in too!" whispered Leah, holding out Adrian his small suitcase.The bell still ringing, Leah put away a few beer cans and a pizza box. She only left 1 box of pizza and two cans of beer so Damien wouldn't get suspicious. After catching her breath, Leah opened the door. In front of her was Damien who was waiting impatiently."What are you doing here?" asked Leah curtly. Damien rubbed his face, "What the hell happened Leah? Why did you act weird last

Will You Marry Me?

Leah and Adrian walked hand in hand out of the hotel. After making sure no one was following them, they walked down the street and then turned into a jewelry store. Two shopkeepers greeted them warmly. Leah turned to look at Adrian, "Of all the shops why did you turn this way?" she whispered feeling uncomfortable because the two shopkeepers' gazes were so intimidating.Adrian looked up at the shopkeeper while clearing his throat, "My girlfriend wants to find a ring for our engagement, please help find the right ring," Adrian said then turned to look at Leah who was confused, "Leah, choose what you like, I have to call someone," he said. fast. Leah gulped, ring? 'Is he kidding?'"Miss, is there a ring you like?" asked the shopkeeper because after a few minutes Leah didn't say anything either. Leah was surprised, since her mind had been focused on something else, "Oh sorry, umm can you just pick one for me, I'm a little confused," she said. "Let me choose," A

Storm

"We can move somewhere in Asia, maybe Singapore, Korea, Japan or wherever it is! No one will recognize us," said Leah desperately. "What about my Law Firm? I earn money from that," replied Adrian, confused. Leah just stared at Adrian blankly then she turned her gaze to the other direction. "I'm sorry, I should have thought about that too, I am so selfish," whispered Leah, deep down inside her heart she expected that Adrian would leave all his life and run away with her to somewhere safe, but she knew that's not gonna happen.Adrian held her hand and touch Leah's finger smoothly, "I promise we'll figure it out later, how about flying back to Maryland, and meet my parent? And if it doesn't work we can try plan B," said Adrian, he felt bad because his words made Leah sad. Leah looked up at Adrian in amazement, "Are you sure about it? You know exactly how your mother gonna react when she saw me!" said Leah disagree with Adrian's plan.Adrian shook his hea

Vivian's Untold Story

"No, I haven't lost my mind. Mom, you once said that Leah was an angel sent by God to save my soul...don't you remember that?" hissed Adrian, kept her intonation calm, he didn't want to provoke her mother. Beside him, Leah peeked down, started to regret her decision to accept Adrian's proposal. She didn't want to see Adrian fight with her mother.Vivian fell silent, if it was not because of her past, she wouldn't do such a thing to her kids. "Okay enough! All of you!" suddenly Charlie's voice made everyone looked up. He stood beside Vivian and turned to look at Adrian, Leah, and Mia one by one. "We're going to discuss this matter properly tomorrow in my office, now go back to your room and don't make any noise, Vivian, shall we?" Charlie stretched out his hand, taking Vivian's hand. But Vivian refused it. She snorted then rush onto her room. She didn't even bother to say good night. "Mia, get into your room!" said Charlie then rush to catch Vivian up.

The Negotiation

Leah dressed up beautifully, she didn't want to be intimidated by Vivian. Even though she knew Vivian was indeed a good person, but the tension between them made everything different."Are you ready?" asked Adrian, hugging Leah from her back. Leah sighed, "Yeah baby, I am so ready!" replied her lightly. There's nothing that could beat her spirit!A few minutes later Leah and Adrian were walking hand in hand to Charlie's office where the whole family was waiting.Charlie smiled at Leah and Adrian and motioned for them to sit down.Leah and Vivian sat across, they didn't even greet each other. It wasn't that Leah didn't want to say hello, but Vivian always avoided her gaze. "Okay honey, tell us everything on your mind but don't forget to be polite," Charlie said to Vivian.Vivian cleared her throat, she looked up and throw her gaze at her only son."Adrian, you really not gonna listen to me, do you?" she asked, her intonation were
