Brown struggled to get loose from the rope he was tied to but nothing worked. He raised up his head and glared at Leo who was standing right in front of him. "Why are you doing this?" he asked angrily but deep down, he was scared of the mafia boss. The incident of last time and what he went through is still very fresh in his memory like it happened yesterday. Leo kicked him from the chair and he ended up falling down, the chair fell on him. They jacked him up again, before he could complain, a slap landed on his face, making him stumble since he is being tied all over. "You are asking me why I am doing this? I warned you brown, I told you to live like you do not exist. I warned you not to ever cross paths with me again and you think of can send some inexperienced thieves to steal from me?" Leo asked smacking the arms of the chair. "Those fools! Howw could they have ratted me out? I will make sure I destroy them once I get out of here" Brown threatened. To Leo, the statement was f

There was an awkward silence in the library as the duo sat there pretending to be reading. While Isabella kept spacing out, Leo on the other hand was stealing glances at her in a way that she will not notice. He just couldn't stop himself from doing that even as he didn't want to. His eyes moved from her face and landed on her lips, the way they close and open was overwhelming his sense of reasoning. Right at that moment, all he could think of is to grab her waist and push his tongue inside her mouth. But then, he can't do that since he already promised not to disturb her. His phone started ringing, distracting him from staring at her. Bringing out his phone, the caller ID was his Dad. Leo cursed under his breath and stood up before turning to Isabella."Don't forget to go to my room, I will punish you if you disobey me" he warned. Before Isabella could reply, he was already out of the library. Once out, he picked up the call, ready for what comes after. It might really turn into a

Isabella woke up with the ray of the morning sunshine peeking through the window directly on her face. Just like yesterday, she felt arms wrapped around her. She doesn't need to be told before knowing who it is, she wanted to escape like she did yesterday again so she tried to get out of his grip but it became a failed attempt because his grip got tighter. "Stay for a few more minutes" she heard Leo's hoarse voice from behind and she automatically relaxed, closing her eyes from embarrassment. She didn't know that he is awake. As she laid back down by his order, she checked the time and it was a few minutes past 6. She's having a class by 8AM, there's still time for her to get ready but again, how many minutes is a few to her master?!She felt him snuggle closer to her, the moment they made a body contact, Isabella almost jumped out of the bed when his hot body touched hers. Her eyes widened as she removed his hand from her, turning towards him. She touched his forehead to feel his

About ten minutes later, Leo's car pulled up in front of the gate. He looked around but there was no sign of Isabella so he called her. "I am outside your school gate" he said and Isabella showed up after a minute. She look kind of tired from today's activities which reminded him of his days in the University. "Good evening master" she greeted again, sitting down in the passenger seat in front with him. "How was your classes?" he asked the moment be ignited the car and drove out of the premises. "It was fine" she replied not knowing what else to say. "Good, did you eat?" he asked again which made her look at him, since when did he start caring if about her though?"I ate this morning" she replied truthfully, she had two consecutive classes after she ate with Jane this morning so there was no way they could leave the class."No matter how tight your schedule turns out to be, don't ever skip your meal. I don't want you to become malnourish, do you get that?" he questioned. "Yes" s

Isabella stared at Leo like a lost puppy, her face revealed confusion. Sincerely, she doesn't understand a bit of what he said and what scare her most is the look in his eyes she cannot fathom. As much as she thought she could read him, she just can't because his eyes got darker as he continue to stare at her. After realizing what he said, Leo groaned internally at his stupidity. He let go of Isabella in embarrassment regretting what he just said. How could he have said that? He must be going crazy to have said that in front of her. What will she think of him? A creep? He was lost for a moment forgetting the fact that she is Bella, his little pet whom he is not supposed to show interest in. Clearing his throat, he took a step back from her creating a little distance between them. "Anyway, I hope you understand what I said. I hate repeating myself and also getting mad because of someone. You can leave" he said making gestures with his hand then turned around and entered into his
