Leon finished his meeting feeling tired. He suddenly recalled he had not eaten that morning.Pushing away the thought, he immediately got to his office and arranged a schedule for his new client. This was a big job, making his heart pump faster than usual. He was deep into work when h got a knock on the door."Sir, your lunch arrived," his assistant said and Leon paused. Lunch? He did not order Lunch."Bring it here," he said and it was brought over. When he opened the box, a letter fell out.Don't work on an empty stomach, eat up. The letter read and Leon went pale. He suddenly recalled that Evan knew where he worked. He was so excited about this client, he had forgotten the threat that had knocked on his door last night.It had to be him. But Leon did not know how Evan could have discovered he had not eaten. Was Evan having him watched? Leon trembled slightly when his phone suddenly rang. It was Jessie.After listening to what she had to say, he picked up his coat and hurried out

Leon had no choice but to get into the car, but he did not realize someone else had seen him enter Evan's car.Leon's Brother, Nathan paused at the sight of the car plates. He recognized those numbers. That car belonged to Evan Matthews. He frowned even deeper when he recognized that Evan Mathews' right hand man had been the one who opened the car door to let Leon in. His phone rang at that moment and he picked it up."Are you here yet?" Nathan heard his father ask and he put Leon at the back of his mind."Yes, just getting in," he answered and walked into the house. Inside, his father, wife, mother and some key family members were waiting for his report."So? Did he agree to our deal to postpone delivery?" Nathan heard his father ask the moment he walked into the room and sighed."No. He is adamant we deliver the shipment on time or we are cooked," Nathan answered."Shit! This is a matter of trust Nathan. They just don't trust us. We need a guarantor. Someone whose words are more p

A couple walked into the living room of the Miller mansion, they noticed the family had gathered.The man frowned as he walked in. There were till a lot of things to hash out after his grandfather’s funeral. "Daniel, you are here," his father said and the man nodded in greeting.Seeing the coupled walk in, the man's father called him to join them. The uncles and cousins seemed to be unable to agree on something. They had gathered after their grandfather's funeral and everyone was dressed in dark clothes.Daniel's wife Regina found a corner away and stood, trying to be invisible. It seemed they were in a heated argument. Because of this, they did not notice that she was there.She had a always felt out of place in this family. And even more so today, so Regina stayed out of sight.“What is it?” Daniel asked his father when he saw the distorted expressions on the family.“We are deciding on the family subsidiaries,” his father sighed. When Daniel heard his words, he suddenly understo

Back in the restaurant, Leon glanced at his family for a second before leaving them behind with Evan. He did not care what Evan wanted to do, he needed some air.Instead of leaving, he found the bathroom and poured some water over his head. He found it hard to breathe, as the food he had just eaten started coming up his throat.He rushed into a stall and vomited till he felt empty. After he was done, he took a moment in the stall in a daze. He could not believe how complicated his life was getting. He was severely anxious all the time now. The urge to run filled him.But before he could leave the stall, two men stepped inside."Boss, everything is prepared just as you wanted," one of them said and Leon paused. He recognized that voice. It was Hunter, Evan's right hand."What about the bishops?" He heard Evan asked and froze inside the stall."They are all handled. We will have control over the church earlier than schedule. I have had someone take out the

"Hi, Henri!" Leon answered, his anger now soothed."Hey, I was wondering when you and your friend have time to meet again. Kayla told me Jason is a lawyer and is hard to meet up.with because of his schedule," Henri said."Yea, we can make time for dinner maybe. I can check with him to when is comfortable," Leon answered."Alright, thanks."The call ended and the car returned to silence.Evan may have felt astonished and slightly amused by Leon's first conversation, but the second one irritated him. Leon talked in a calm and tone with a slight smile on his face. Irritated, Evan stepped on the gas, throwing Leon forward.“What the hell?" Leon turned to him and scolded. He felt better when Leon was looking at him.“When we get to your place, start packing up. You will be living with me from now onward,” he said and Leon's eyes rounded out into globes.Leon stared at him half confused, half horrified.“For how long?” he asked.“Till I am done with what I need to do,” he answered.“And whe
