Collins punched him mightily in the face, and this time, Gary fell with the chair he was bound to.Gary sniggered at him.He would not reveal anything to him.Collins bit his lips with annoyance and ran his hands through his hair.He brought out a sharp knife and moved toward him."I just can't believe you'll die for those unfaithful bastards."He smirked and added."You know, it's your loss. I will find them eventually, and you'd not be here to witness their end."Gary's jaw clenched tightly. He spat in his face."You this low-life."Colin's said with a sneer in his voice.He drove the knife into his chest.He had the nerve to spit in his face."They will find you."Gary said breathlessly.Collins stood up and laughed wickedly.He bent over him again and looked around.He was always careful to leave no traces behind.No one would know he was here."No one would know I did it."He stabbed him again in the chest."You monster."Gary's breath was heavy."You're one annoying talkative."

He would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.Leila was spending her beautiful afternoon in the garden. The sun shone bright, casting a warm golden glow over the vibrant flowers and lush greenery.Leilla tended to the plants, picking fresh flowers. Her outfit allowed her to move with ease as she bent down to smell the fragrant blooms and felt the soil between her fingers."Leila!"She tilted her head in the direction of the voice.David ran his hands through his hair as he sighted her.He chuckled as he stared into the distance, his two hands on his hips."You're back."Leila smiled widely at him. But he just stared into her face. He looked so worried.His forehead perspiration showed that he was nervous. Had he been looking for her?"Have you been looking for me?"She asked him.He moved toward her. Seeing her now, his face beamed with happiness.He thought he had lost her."Of course. I was worried when I could not find you."She meant the world to him.They shared a s

"Upper East Side.""David has a house there?""Yes."Collins nodded. He had no idea David had a house on the Upper East Side."When next I'm going, we'll go together."Collins heaved a sigh of relief. She did not know the stress she had taken off him.She had made things easier for him."That's good. I will be glad to follow you.""Yeah. We'll talk later.""Yeah."His lips curved into a smile.Leila headed to the room. David had just ended his meeting with the investors.It was the right time for David. He brought out the shopping bags from where he had kept them."These are for you."He handed it to her.Leila smiled as she looked at what was inside. They were expensive bags and shoes."Thank you."She said and sat in bed.She wasn't happy at all and it was evident on her face.David embraced her and tried to kiss her but she pulled away."We need to talk."Leila said as she stared into his eyes.David sighed.What was the problem again?"What if this unknown person was your ex-girlfr

Leila exhaled deeply.He's still too young to take it all in.She would explain it to him in a way he would understand."Baby. It was so urgent we didn't know we would move. Just know we are here temporarily, and will move back."She gazed at his face to catch any glimpse of expression.Was he satisfied with her answer?"When?"Leila stared into the distance. Only if she knew when."I don't know. But very soon."He looked away. At least her answer was different from her mother's.He had asked Scarlet the same question one night when she tucked them in."Mom. Why did we move here?"She answered,"We had to move because it's necessary honey.""Alright."James said to Leila."Tell me. How's school?"Leila wanted to engage him in a conversation.She would be spending enough time here with them. She should be able to help him come back.He smiled."You have made a friend?"Leila asked him.He nodded affirmatively."Ohh. That's nice. Tell me about him or her."She was glad to hear he had al

James knew if he told him, it would be trouble for him. It wasn't something he couldn't handle himself.He wouldn't escalate things by letting Ryan know. So far he could pay them, there was nothing to worry about."It's nothing.""Is anybody bullying you?"Ryan asked him."No!"He lied. He didn't want to get anyone involved.He quickly added,"Do I look like someone anybody can bully?"Ryan chuckled. He shook his head."I'm telling you. You don't."He teased him and winked at him."You can give me the money tomorrow. I don't want my aunt and mum to find out I have that amount of money with me."They would bombard him with questions. And no, he's not ready for that.Ryan understood.He watched the little guy walk away.He shook his head. The little boy never ceased to amaze him.He wondered what he needed the money for. He would start watching him closely now.He would find out what he needed it for on his own since he decided not to tell him anything.He had a hunch the money James wa
