"He doesn't contact me anymore," Yuri said while sitting on the chair before Leah. Ava was at the counter taking care of the customers while Leah and Yuri were sitting in the corner of the cafe. "It's for the better. At the very first time, he didn't approach you for you but because you looked like someone he knew." Leah said and Yuri nodded in understanding. "You're right, I will leave now. It's been an hour." Yuri said and stood up from her chair. "Wait till dinner," Leah suggested but Yuri shook her head, saying she had to go to her part-time job. "Very well then, take care," Leah said and waved at Yuri who just left the cafe. This girl has started to isolate herself and Leah doesn't know how to help her because she is just so stubborn to even listen.All of a sudden Leah heard a 'ding' sound. She looked down at her phone which was placed on the table and saw a notification from an unknown number. With a frown, she opened the chat box. Her frown deepened once she realized it was

"I have to go now," Leah said while standing up from the chair once she was done eating. "But where will you go?" Damon asked while putting his spoon down on the table. "I need to go back and check my place." She said and he quickly shook his head. "Rest for a day, you can go tomorrow." He said but she shook her head and made her towards the entrance.He followed her behind and didn't try to stop her. He gave her mother's shoes and a coat to her along with her cell phone he grabbed while saving her. Once she was done putting on her things, she nodded at him and walked out of the house.Once she was out of the house she opened her phone. Her eyes narrowed once she saw ten missed calls from Ava, sixteen missed calls from yuri and more than fifty missed calls from an unknown number.She immediately realized it was Igneel.Her hold tightened on her phone and she decided to call Yuri to tell her she was fine. While she was walking down the footpath, calling Yuri. She paused on her steps on

"Boss," A knock echoed in Igneel's room.Igneel who was sitting on his master chair in the corner of his room, silently staring at his darling's face was snapped out of his thoughts by the sudden commotion outside the door. He's been sitting on this chair for two hours straight. Seeing her sleep on his bed, wrapped up in his sheets filled with his scent makes his heartbeat. He is surely whipped for her.He rarely blinked as he stared at her sleeping, thinking she would vanish in thin air if he closed his eyes, he barely blinked. It took him a while to calm her down. He even forced her to sleep for a while. She wasn't sleeping when he was around, her eyes followed him everywhere, sending Sparks of joy down his body. He can't believe himself....he can't believe how stupidly crazy he is for her.He stayed out of his room and waited for her to sleep. When he was sure she will be asleep, he sneaked inside the room and silently sat down on the chair. One thing she noticed was she kept to

Both of them stood there stiff. Tears were streaming down Yuri's eyes when Leah on the other hand was in a perplexing condition. Why was the gun pointed at Yuri too? What was happening?"Yuri, let's go somewhere else and talk," Leah said in a calm tone and grabbed onto Yuri's arm but she snatched her arm away and shook her head at Leah."There is nothing left to talk about." She said and looked right into Leah's eyes. Leah took no time to understand that Yuri was held hostage by Tobias. Her eyes said it all. Then why did Igneel lie about her affair with Tobias? She couldn't comprehend anything but right now she knew she cannot trust anyone. Not even Igneel. These so-called Mafia people don't care about anyone. "Enough, Come with me, let's go back," Leah said and tightly grabbed her arm, she started to drag her with her whole might and Yuri tried to protest with her the whole night. "Where will you take me? The people you had died and the things you owned are burnt down to ashes." Y

"Now, I did so much hard work. Can I kiss?" He asked. His hot breath roamed her lips. She gulped and looked down at his lips before looking up into his sharp eyes. He had such a sharp and dark look forcing her to lower her gaze again. She can't help but wonder if he was the same shy Igneel she knew back then because he has changed so much. "Ahh...uh..." She kept her gaze low. She asked herself...' Do I have any feelings for him? I sure had feelings for him back then. What about now? Is there a reason for me to deny it?' He wasn't kissing her, he was waiting for her to kiss him. She slowly raised her gaze and looked into his eyes, he had the same intense look within them. She lowered her gaze to his lips and raised her trembling hands. She slowly grabbed his cheeks in her hands, her thumb caressing his cheek in a circular motion as her four fingers were behind his ear. "T-Thank you." She said and with that, she brought his face a little lower and attached her cold lips to his warm
