stubborn self

I wanted to argue, but the pounding in my head was too much." Just leave me alone." I said, turning away from him." As you wish." He said, standing up. " But I'll be back."I listened to his footsteps as he walked away, the door clicking shut behind him. I was alone again, with my thoughts and the constant beeping of the heart monitor.My grandfather was on his way. The only man in the world who knew everything about me, including my past as Shadow. The man who had trained me but knew nothing about my identity as Shadow Austin POV " What did you just say?" I snapped, anger bubbling inside me. Looking at Sally, I didn't know whether to walk away or just let out a scream." What? Are you mad? You want to beat me? Go ahead, beat the mother of your children." She challenged, her hands on her hips." I am not going to hit you, Sally." I said, my voice dangerously low. " But I suggest you choose your next words carefully."" Or what? You'll divorce me?" She scoffed. " We both know you w

another trap

" Back to serious business." I said, taking a seat next to Lydia." The snitch..." I started but the change on Lydia's face told me she was fully aware of who he was." It's justin that asshole." She said through gritted teeth." I'm sorry Leslie. I am the one who suffered we keep him." She added, looking apologetic.I waved my hand." Forget it. What has happened has already happened. We can't change it." I replied. That didn't mean I wasn't going to settle the score with him for what he did. Mikhail said he would deal with him but that was not enough. Him dealing with Justin was not enough to calm my rage toward that motherfucker." What I don't understand is, why did he want us dead." Lydia wondered out loud." It's not us, he wanted me dead." I replied with clenched jaws.Lydia shook her head." I highly doubt he just wanted to get to you only. He knew that you would come rescue me. Then once we were exposed, we would either fight our way out and rush to the car to escape. Then th

follow me

Leslie povThree days later and I was ready to ne discharged or atleast that's what I felt. However, Mikhail was not having any of it. He was insisting that I spend two more days just to be sure. " Fine, I can stay two days to be sure and you will have to stay teo years while I try to be sure whether I want to marry you." I threatened. Mikhail's lips twitched. " You are really something. You just have to have your way no matter what, right?" He asked and I looked at him, feigning being offended." Haven't I stayed here obediently for three days? " I asked, sighing dramatically. That was usually Lydia's style to get things done I was borrowing. I hoped it would work on Mikhail. " Only on the outside. I know you are planning to sneak out the minute my back is turned." He retorted aand he was right. I'd dreamt of sneaking out every second for the past two days. " Can you blame me? Your men are all over the place. Don't you think they are a little bit too many?" I complained.I know

my spine

I followed Mikhail until he stopped in front of a door, pushing it open to reveal a large, beautifully furnished bedroom. The bed was made with crisp, white linens and a vase of fresh flowers sat on the nightstand." This will be your room," he announced, stepping aside to let me in.I walked into the room, my eyes taking in every detail. It was beautiful, more beautiful than any hotel suite I had ever stayed in. But it wasn't mine." It's... nice," I said, my voice neutral." I'm glad you think so," he said, a small smile playing on his lips. " I had it designed just for you."I turned to look at him, my eyes wide with surprise." You did?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper." I did," he confirmed. " I wanted you to feel comfortable here."" Why?" The question was out before I could stop it, raw and unfiltered.He took a step closer, the air between us crackling with unspoken tension. "Because I want you here, Leslie. Not just for protection, not just for your grandfather's sake. I

too casual

" You clean up well yourself," I replied, my voice a little too breathless for my liking.We ate in a comfortable silence for a while, the only sounds the clinking of cutlery and the soft music playing in the background. It was surprisingly... nice. Domestic. A word I never associated with myself.But the peace was fragile, and I knew it." We need to talk about Justin," he said, setting his fork down.I stilled, my appetite gone. " Did you find him?" I asked, my voice sharp.A flicker of something—frustration? regret?—crossed his face before it was gone. " He's gone. My men lost him at a bus station."My fork clattered against my plate. " He's gone?" I repeated, my voice rising. " How? How could you just... lose him?"" It wasn't that simple," he said, his tone calm, which only fueled my anger. " He had help. Someone is covering his tracks."" And who might that be?" I asked, my skepticism plain." I have my suspicions," he said, leaning forward. " Austin Cox."I stared at him, my mi

an accident

Leslie POV My grandfather paused then looked at me." Why do you ask?" He inquired. I shrugged." Am I not allowed to know what I will be dealing with when I take office?" I asked. The old man stared at me then sighed." I know what you are thinking but you can be assured your uncle holds no much power in the board." He tried to assure me. I didn't believe it. Not one bit but I didn't call him out on that.Uncle Jared has always wanted control over the Grayson Holdings for as long as I can remember. My old man never made it easy for him but with grandfather growing old to supervise everything, I could already tell that there was trouble brewing somewhere." I'll be going back to Pearl jewels soon and handle everything. After that, I will take over the company." I informed him.The old man sighed." Leslie, you know our agreement. Only after you get married can you take over." He declared. I waited to argue but decided against it. That was the rule three years ago,it still is.After t

You win

Marcel's question threw me off the hook and I found myself narrowing my eyes at him. Why was he asking that when I had already briefed him about it last night at the call?But...I shrugged it off and explained the whole process. After all, I didn't want something going wrong during the meeting." Is everything ready?" I asked to double check. Marcel nodded." Good. I'll be there in five minutes." I informed him.After taking some deep breaths and asking Lydia to wish me good luck, I left my office and headed to the meeting room.When I pushed the door open, I was surprised to see Sally sitting besides Austin and not the secretary I knew. A frown formed on my face.Why was Austin bringing Sally into such an important meeting?" What? You are not happy to see me? You thought you could have Austin all yo yourself?" Sally sneered, a look of hatred plastered all over her face.Marcel was already settled opposite Austin so I ignored Sally's remarks and made my way to my position at the head

good mood

Leslie POV " You are in a good mood." Mikhail's voice reached my ears as I swayed gently in the kitchen, stirring my mushroom soup.I turned around to face him, a smile plastered on my face." Of course I am in a good mood." I replied. How could I not? Austin had shot himself in the foot and to pearl Jewels, that meant more money. After Lydia entered the meeting, she trippled the market price of the stones. Austin left with no choice had to sign a new contract with her company. He was wise enough to know that paying a tripple price than the normal market price was better than loosing his company. Of course, his ego wouldn't allow him to see me acquire Cox enterprises. Not that he was safe from me. I knew Cox enterprises liquidity and cashflow and after that crazy expensive purchase from Haven suppliers, I was sure they were in a bad shape financially. This gave me an upper hand if I wanted to acquire them. Let's just say that that was my step two of my plan.Mikhail's steps were sile

we wait

Leslie POV Mikhail's hands tightened on my hips as I pulled him closer, my legs still wrapped around his waist. The marble counter was cool against my skin and it was like a stark contrast to the heat radiating from him. I could feel every muscle in his body and the tension coiled in his shoulders as he held himself back…barely."Mikhail," I breathed against his mouth, and he groaned, pulling back just enough to look at me.His eyes were dark, nearly black, and I could see the war happening behind them. The predator wanting to take and the man wanting to give. As a mobster boss,I could swear he was never used to holding back but he was doing it…for me. I don't how that made me feel."Tell me to stop," he said, his voice rough. "Tell me right now and I will."I should have told him that…every rational part of me screamed that I should. This was dangerous. He was dangerous. We were dangerous together.Instead, I reached up and pulled his shirt over his head.He let me, his eyes never l

obvious

He said, pulling up his pants and buckling the belt.I just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.My mushroom soup was forgotten and the kitchen was silent with unspoken promises. I didn't know what to do with my hands. I didn't know how to process what had just happened. My body was humming, but my mind was a mess.And Mikhail knew it. He could read me so easily. Without saying a word, he moved behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulder. "Just breathe," he murmured.I did. I inhaled, smelling him…a mix of expensive cologne, and pure male. He grounded me when I was spinning out of control.The silence stretched, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was…intimate.I had always been in control of my life and my body. I had always been the one to decide when and where and with whom. But with Mikhail, I felt like I was losing control, and the scary part was, I didn't even care." Mikhail…?" I asked, my voice hesitant." Hm?" He murmured, his lips
