“So, what is going on at home?” Leon heard Charlotte say as he saw her sitting on the rug on the floor, eating stir-fried chicken and rice with her hands straight from the bowl.“Get a spoon, Coco,” Leon said, exasperated.“Let me feel my food and eat it,” Coco replied in a tone that said she was wronged. “Do you know I can’t eat when I am at work? I crave home-cooked food and it sucks that I can’t learn to cook.” She added, “Thanks for coming sooner and making me food.”Leon rolled his eyes. If he hadn’t come home to feed her, she would have slept straight until tomorrow without eating. And it was not that she could not cook, she never bothered to learn. All her siblings and parents could cook and she decided to be the one who would only be burdened with eating! He answered, “Nothing special going on at home. Same old drama. Mom and Dad call me home, give me a lecture for a few hours and then I come back to work.”Charlotte laughed. “What did you do this time?”Yes, that’s what she h

Ariana Addison's words dripped with venom as she spat, "You fucking whore! If you go near my man, I will throw you into the gutter with the trash you love, and they will fuck—"Before she could finish her cruel threat, Sia moved swiftly. With a simple kick to Ariana’s knee, the woman screamed in pain and her balance thrown off. As she raised her hand to slap Sia, the lattergrabbed her wrist and twisted it sharply.Ariana’s scream echoed through the hallway as a pain shot through her arm as she realized her wrist might be broken. “You freak! You broke my hand!” she cried, trying to reach for Sia’s hair in desperation. But Sia smoothly dodged her attempt and stuck out her foot, which caused Ariana to stumble and slam hard into the wall.At that moment, Jeremy Salvatore and Leon Hart, who had been in the middle of a business conversation, arrived just in time to witness the scene. Jeremy's eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight before him. “What happened here?” he asked, clearly c

"Make me another one," she ordered, not even looking up. "And toast it properly this time."Leon clenched his jaw, swearing silently. If it weren't for the values his mother instilled in him—always feed the hungry and never refuse food, he might have lost his patience by now. This woman... did she forget I kidnapped her? She can’t order me around! But despite his inner frustration, he got up and made two more sandwiches for the insatiable goblin sitting at his table.Once she finished, Alessia wiped her mouth and looked at him coolly. "Now, go lock up that beast and take me home."Leon stared at her, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. This was going to be a long day.Did she really think he was one of her servants that she always order around? he must recall her some interesting facts. Now it was Leon’s turn to smile wickedly. "Did you forget that you were kidnapped?"“Leon… I’m warning you,” Alessia said in a low, dangerous voice.He leaned closer, his lips just an inch from hers.

Leon glanced at her, amused as he filled his bottle. “Dinner is on the dining table,” he said casually, as if it hadn’t been her pride keeping her from eating all evening.Sia narrowed her eyes, harrumphing before responding proudly, “I’m fine with my own food.”Leon’s lips twitched in amusement but he said nothing and left her to her cold and buttered bread.As Sia said this, Leon had a look on his face that she knew all too well. But she brushed it off, reminding herself that it wasn’t material things that defined wealth, it was the hard work behind them. Wasn’t that what John Locke said? Mixing labor with the goods of nature makes it your private property. It was her effort that turned those slices of bread into a meal, not his.Proud of herself, she was heading back to her room when she noticed Leon lounging on the couch while flipping through the pages of a book. Grinning, she couldn’t resist throwing a jab at him.She said with a tone full of arrogance that can even put God to a

Leon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My mom has some health issues, but I have never seen her in pain like this. And Coco and Belly... they don’t suffer this much either. I have never seen them go through something like what you just did."She answered, “That’s because they don’t have ruined bodies.”“I don’t get it,” Leon said.Sia opened her eyes and with a casual tone that reduced the severity of her words, replied, “Try having two abortions, four miscarriages, and taking countless emergency contraceptives. It is a miracle I don’t have ovarian cancer yet.”Leon was too stunned to speak. “Why would someone go through that?” he asked, unable to fathom the intensity of what she had endured.She smiled bitterlyt. “Try marrying a narcissistic asshole who thinks his wife is his personal prostitute, someone he can use however he wants without ever taking responsibility.”Leon could only stare at her, lost for words. She spoke with such detachment as if these weren’t her own devas
