LEO POV"It's nothing. Go back to sleep," I replied. I had not been myself after the revelation. It was a hard nut to crack, a bitter pill that I could not swallow. I had pondered over the issue and I deduced that my father had been hinting about it for a while. He had always mentioned his empire which was non-existent to me until I met Dane. I wanted to rectify it all and I was done being nice."It can't be nothing. You're wearing an all black outfit. We've been together for months already so I can tell that your dress isn't ordinary," she said."Don't worry and just go to sleep. I'll be back soon," I replied."But it's too early. You can go wherever you want to go when the day's brighter," she said. I sniffed then climbed onto the bed and held her shoulders. "I'll be back before you know it. I just have some loose ends to fix," I said, then stood up from the bed and made my way to the door. As I was about to turn the knob, she dropped questions that stopped me dead in my tracks."W

LEO POVWhile we ate dinner, I pretended to scoop a few portions but I avoided taking any meal. I had no appetite. My mind was filled with thoughts of our planned undercover job that night. I contacted Jude and Dane to inform them. While the former got all the equipment and tools we needed, the latter put together the evidence he had gathered. We already had a lead and a plan to lay waste on whatever organization was beneath the mansion.Emily chatted about several topics, especially the various women and entrepreneurial meetings she had attended in recent times. I guessed she hoped to engage in conversations with me so as to rid my thoughts of the kidnap cases. She felt I was still brooding and I decided to keep it that way. I did not want her to get involved in case we encountered a mishap.After dinner, she continued like a chatterbox till I arrived at the study. I stood by the table and sorted out some documents while she held my arm and spoke fast. "What do you think? Did I do w

LEO POVWe had escorted Max to the airport and I had one of my trusted men to take him to a safe place. I suggested that Emily should follow him but she refused. I was going through a tough time and she wanted to be with me. She also wanted to avenge her brother who had been comatose for months. While we returned from the airport, she had her face away from me and stared outside the window. She wept silently but the driver and I knew that she was crying. The driver checked through the rearview mirror then moved his eyes away immediately he noticed that I was staring right back at him."Babe, he'll be fine, I promise," I assured her. She wiped away her tears and feigned a weak smile."You don't have to pretend that all is fine," I said. She looked into my eyes then at the window.I felt she needed some private space so I held her hand while looking out to my side of the window as well. I recall how my friends had instigated me to dig into Emily's background. To be honest, my life had n

LEO POVIt was late when I arrived at the villa. I stepped into the house and went straight to the bedroom where I found Emily reading a novel. She had her legs crossed while lying on the bed which made it obvious that she struck that pose after she knew that I was in the building. I smiled then sat at the edge of the bed."Are you mad at me?" I asked but got no reply. She was ignoring me."I didn't mean to skip breakfast. It was an urgent call," I explained but she still would not reply me. I stood from the edge of the bed and strutted to her side. I sat beside her but she flinched. "Just hit me already. Smack my face. Punch my stomach. Do whatever to abate your anger but don't ignore me," I said, grabbing her hand and placing it on my chest. She withdrew then looked me in the eye."Do I even mean anything to you anymore? Recently, I've been staying around the house, doing nothing most of the time because you tell me not to go out everytime. Then there's a whole lot of bodyguards ou

LEO POV"Do you have any idea about where he disappeared to?" I asked."I think he disappeared around the deserted bush area. I'm so sorry, Mr. Leo. I would have spoken up but I was not sure about how you'd take it," Fred said."It's fine. You don't have to apologize. Tell us everything you know," Jude said, encouraging him to speak up."After I heard about your break-in into the mansion and how you were attacked, I felt I had to inform you. I haven't been myself since I witnessed the incident," he said then clasped his hands. They were shaky and sweaty, I could imagine how scared he was. One of my greatest fears was that his missing son might have been abducted for the MIR project since they were majorly focused on young men."You'll be fine. I'll ensure that Kay pays for everything but for his crimes," I said."You have to be very careful, sir. Mr. Kay is very cunning and smart because he learned his gimmicks from Mr. Robbins. The CCTV cameras in the house are simply there for proto
