"Hello, babe.""Leo, you're taking more time than I thought." He could imagine the frown on Alexa's face."I didn't...I didn't expect..." He tried coming up with something as he looked at Joseph. "I was, um, caught up.""In traffic?"Leo shook his head. "Not really.""Are you still with James, 'cause I doubt you'll be with him for too long?"Leo nodded. "As a matter of fact, yes.""Are you guys catching up or, ... " She sighed. "What am I even saying? You both have nothing to catch up on. What are you seriously doing, Leo?"Leo cleared his throat. "We're....honestly we're both handling something for um, for Emily.""What?""I didn't wanna worry you, although it's not too serious. I'll be home in no time.""Today is long gone already, so I'm guessing no going out.""I'll make it up to you." He promised."Yeah whatever, bye." Then she hung up."That's what happens when you keep things from your wife." James decided to annoy Leo.Leo looked at him. "Pot calling the kettle black. You're l

Leo stared at the three listening devices on the table he found around his living room after minutes of searching. Alexa was totally shocked and gawking at it. It was unbelievable."How did this...how did this get in?" He faced his wife, throwing the question at her.She looked at him, short of words, because she couldn't explain how because it was a question she was equally asking herself.But then she frowned. "Okay, why, Leo? Why is this in here?"Leo shook his head. "This isn't the situation right now.""Are you serious, Leo? There's got to be a reason why this is here?" She retorted.Leo gritted his teeth in annoyance and nodded in defeat. "Fine. Just try to remember how this got in here. Who did you invite home since this week?"Alexa's eyes lowered wanting to remember. Although, what should she remember when she didn't even invite any friends? She didn't even go anywhere?Leo walked to a door and opened it seeing as she was finding it difficult to remember. "Levi!" He yelled at

Leo's phone ringing got Alexa's attention. She pondered in her thought about the caller being Emily or anything concerning the issues they seem to be going through that she knows nothing about.She sighed deciding not to keep bothering Leo about it. It's best she trusts him, cause after all her knowing won't help them in any way."Uh...""It's fine." Alexa stopped him, turning her gaze away and looking at her kids playing in the park. "If you wanna stand up you can too. I don't mind." She told him in a very clear tone that doesn't look like there was mischief in it.But it seemed to kinda seep guilty feelings into Leo's being which made him sigh broodingly. Should he stand up, or should he not?But then he scoffed after seconds of pondering. 'Who am I kidding?'He nodded even though she wasn't looking and stood up further into the park. The call was already cut off, so he called back. After trilling three times, it picked."Hello." "Leonard, good news.""He talked?" That was obviousl

(1st August. Monday.)"Touch me, Leo." Alexa moaned out desperately as Leo gave her kisses on the side of her neck while caressing one of her breasts. She needed him very badly. She wanted him inside."Leo." She moaned out, but no reply. He just kept with her breasts while kissing her in a sensitive spot.Leo stood, all dressed up for work, his eyes narrowed in amusement, watching as she moaned his name in her sleep. There was a smile on his face.Although, it made him curious as he wondered what exactly is gonna wake her up.She turned on the bed beginning to feel queasy and having the urge to vomit. "Leo." She moaned as he kept on with what he was doing.But the urge to vomit reached her throat and without choice, she let go, the shock causing her to immediately open her eyes widely.She blinked, her mouth gaping as she couldn't believe it was a dream. A wet...no. Nocturnal emission...preferably.She turned, thunderstruck as she saw Leo looking at her with an amused face. "Leo."Leo

"Bad news, boss." Marco kept his head lowered in mortification.The boss rolled his eyes wondering what it is this time. "What?"Marco swallowed and looked at him. "The device got disconnected. We think he found out.""What?! Weren't you guys careful when you installed them?"Marco nodded. "We were. We made sure we put it in spots where it can't be noticed."The boss scoffed as it was unbelievable. "It hasn't even been long."Marco's face drooped feeling disappointed in himself. All the plans and work they went through for this to work just fell on their faces before it even gave them what they really wanted. It was all useless."I can't believe this." The boss muttered in anger."Boss, the best we can do is end things once and for all. It's obvious we're not good at playing games. Let's just kill them."The boss shook his head. "But we've done nothing to them. Absolutely nothing.""Why are you bent on prolonging this, boss? What really were the terms and conditions?"The boss looked

Henry sighed broodingly with a pouted mouth and played with his food. "I've got to say, it's been boring."Damon and Damien looked at him. "And for good reason. It's better this way." Damon told him."After weeks, I can't believe they got Joseph. And now, Kara is absent." Henry voiced out the obvious.Damon just nodded."It's kinda weird how he was caught so easily. Have you guys heard anything?" Henry asked curiously."No one is telling us anything, Henry," Damien answered him."And besides, my dad warned us to stay clear and not bother about it anymore," Aria added.Damon nodded in agreement. "Yep. No Joseph and no Kara means no enemy and no enemy means we're safe, which also means there's nothing to investigate.""But do you think it's over?" Henry asked him."Whatever happens, I trust my dad can handle it." Damon gave him a straight answer."I just hope he's careful, though. Mummy still doesn't know what he's doing." Aria said with a sad face."Oh." Henry gaped as he heard it. "It

Getting home, the kids ran to their mommy, gave her a hug, and ran upstairs per their dad's command.Seeing Leo, Alexa sighed as the morning behavior knocked on her head. She was trying hard to forget and not be bothered by it, but he definitely won't let it."So how are you?" Leo asked with a mischievous smile on his face."Hmm? I'm fine."He walked closer to her with narrowed eyes simulating confusion, cause even though he found the morning amusing, he just had to wonder what got into her."About this morning...""Let's not talk about it, Leo." Alexa stopped him, her face getting red and she lowered it, facing the floor.Leo took both her hands making her look up at him. For some reason, she was having the same feelings she had this morning. So drawn to him. "It's not that bad to talk about...""Stop it, Leo!" Alexa shunned him.Leo frowned. "Fine. I'll just wonder all my life then."Alexa swallowed and nodded. "Yeah." Her voice came out husky. She was feeling uncomfortable for some

"Talk to me, it's late." Leo urged Alexa since he was feeling sleepy already. He still couldn't believe the question his son asked out of the blue.If only they knew their mom actually passed through that."I've been thinking about...um, pursuing what I want. My dreams." Alexa began in a calm tone as she drew circles on his chest."Dream? You've got dreams?" Leo asked, looking confused.Alexa nodded her head which rested on his shoulder. "I do. Apparently."Leo chuckled finding it weird. "And what's that?""I wanna own a pub, hon." Alexa made known.Leo kept shtum at the information. His thought went wild. "Pub." He said to himself."Yeah. A restaurant. A food...""I know what a pub is, babe." Leo dismissed her in annoyance."Oh. Sorry." She mellowed."Why all of a sudden?" He decided to ask."Because it's what I want. Instead of staying home all day, I wanna start doing things that'll make me feel at ease. Things that'll make me go out when everyone goes out. A thing that I love doin

"I already called a realtor agent, Alexa," Leo informed over the phone, knowing it was the only thing his wife is excited about at the main time. The only thing she actually wants to hear."Really?" Alexa's eyes brightened at the information.Leo nodded. "Yeah. He's um, he's working on it. I explained the kind of building you want."Alexa smiled. "Thanks, honey.""Yeah, although I've been thinking about what you really want to do. Why a pub?" Leo asked her.Alexa shook her head, thinking about it. "Um, don't know. Just feel it's gonna be fun.""Fun ah? Alexa, I don't really think that's what I want...""Come on, Leo." Alexa frowned as he was being against it once again. "Please."Leo sighed. "I accepted what you want, Alexa. What I'm saying is, I don't think I want it to be a pub.""Why?""Because it's dangerous. Entertaining people to get drunk is not...I don't want that. Just make a restaurant where people can come. and eat. Have dates, drink champagne, and then leave without proble

The boss heard a knock on his door, and looked up, wondering who was there. "Come in."Marco opened and entered.The boss relaxed upon seeing him and he leaned against his chair. "You're here, Marco. With news, I'm guessing?" He inquired.Marco nodded. "I visited some thugs in prison and got to talk to people that once worked with Renard Hodge.""And what did you get?""I have to say, it's complicated. I heard he was after that Denvers company and even killed the owner to get it.""What?" The boss blurted with a frown.Marco nodded. "Yeah. He even had children from different women that could make his plans come to pass. That could help him achieve ownership of the company. He made his son who never knew his existence marry Alexa Denvers, threatened him by kidnapping his mother, and tried to make him kill his wife so they can have the full rights to the company, but then she survived and got pregnant. His son didn't want anything to happen to his wife and unborn children, so he had to.
