It was late at night. Alexa lay on the bed looking exhausted. She was becoming so big that she was no longer able to do things on her own. Not even get up. Leo helps her to do almost everything, and she knows how much she stresses him out.The nights she wakes Leo up just because she couldn't feel her legs, or need a massage, or whenever she starts craving something makes her feel a lot guilty.She was causing him to have sleepless nights, but apparently, Leo knows it's his duty to always be there for her.If she has sleepless nights, then he should too, and make sure she's able to go back to sleep since that's also the only way for him to go back to sleep.Leo walked inside the room after the annoying call he received and lay down on the bed."What's wrong?" Alexa asked Leo.Leo looked at her and shook his head. "Nothing much. Just got a call from an unexpected somebody."Alexa's eyes furrowed in wonder as to who was the unexpected somebody. She was wondering if she should ask, or j

Leo nodded. "Yeah. Give me updates from time to time, Lance. I wanna know everything happening in my clubhouse. Also, send me the information about our next client. I wanna know the kind of party they want to be doing there."Lance nodded. "Will do that, Sir."Leo hung up with a brooding sigh. He kinda misses his home and wishes for Alexa to be with him there.But sadly, she has her own responsibility here. A responsibility she wants to put on him.And also after what happened last night, there's been a brooding tension between the both of them after he woke her up from the dream she was on, and told him about it.Things just changed. Alexa won't talk to him, and he knew it was last night's trouble.Although he thinks that it's because he didn't give her what she wanted, but Alexa had her own reasons.She was feeling shame, and angry at herself for behaving the way she did.Her wanting sex in a very obsessive manner made her annoyed at herself, and also for the fact that she was equal

"It's funny how I can call you, and you'll still answer. I guess I'm still that father figure." Mr. Hodge looked at his son with a smirk on his face.Leo just looked away in annoyance."Please sit, son. Sit down." Mr. Hodge gestured."I didn't think you called me here to sit," Leo told him. "Just get straight to the point."Mr. Hodge nodded. "I've been having a lot of setbacks in my business. I failed to doubt your hands are not on it."Leo smirked. "Wow, dad. Your failures are none of my business.""You're venturing into dangerous waters, son.""And I'm a pretty decent swimmer, dad.""Think about your wife. I don't think she can swim in her state, or can you carry the responsibility?" Mr. Hodge threatened.Leo blinked. "Well, I'm pretty sure I can.""I've warned you times without number, Leo. Don't wound what you cannot kill. I'm keeping quiet because you're my son, but if you keep this up, you'll regret giving me this trial runs in the betrayal arena."Leo scoffed. "Betrayal? You br

Audrey let out a huge sigh for the nth time, completely wondering why their case got nowhere, and what that C letter branded on the dead body meant."What are we gonna do, Montez? All our new leads keep going nowhere. We've searched around for any company, complexes, restaurants, and whatnot that's using that C logo, but nothing matched. I no longer think that C is a lead anymore. The family doesn't even have much to offer." Levi complained in annoyance."I feel whoever is involved takes us as a joke. They know it'll be hard to get caught, so they just announced it was truly a homicide. I feel we're playing a 'catch me if you can' game." Audrey layout looking at the pictures of the dead body."Montez, Craig. I got something." A Sergeant came toward them."What?" Audrey asked."I discovered the MO used on the vic wasn't the first. There are more like that that dated two to three years ago. And more like it in cities, and countries far from us." The Sergeant informed them and handed the

6th October. Wednesday."So early in the morning, Nick," Leo muttered looking at the pics he sent in his phone. The pics happened to be his sister and her mother, and scrolling down, his eyes narrowed at the pics of her death, and the guy who ran her over."She was killed, Leo. I asked Jace if he knew who that careless guy is, and he said yes. The guy's name was Vic...Victor Fields who was once alive but was killed due to this very operation. He wasn't careful, and let himself get caught in the CCTV. He was once working for your father and was a partner to the recent right-hand man in the organization there on your side, Lionel Stone. While he was alive, and they were here, Victor was the right-hand man of the boss, they were the ones ruling this place til he did the careless operation. Those times, your dad didn't seem to have right and left-hand men by him. After Victor died, he promoted Lion to stay by his side and handed the throne to others. I even discovered that Lion was his on
