After a long bath in the room that was given to him, Leonid was drying off his hair with a hand towel as he walked into the room. His phone was lying on the bed; he had refused to use his old line. It was a new start for him, a new life; he was never going to be the poor, broke Leonid he was. His wife was going to be worried about him, and he was sure that she was going to try to call him. He couldn’t get over the fact that his parents knew that he was the child of the man they had robbed a long time ago and still had the heart to insult him. Leonid had never expected that the people he had tried to please and win their hearts so he could be with their daughter were the cause of all his problems, and he could not help but wonder if Ethan had not known about the company belonging to the Vanderbilts. His father's name was going to be on the CEO’s board, right? Was Ethan so dumb not to notice the name Vanderbilt, or had he not met Ethan’s father? Leonid had a lot of questions to ask, bu

Ethan grabbed her by the hand. "Stop yelling, Amelia. We can deal with this at home, okay?""At home?! Are you kidding me? And don’t fucking touch me!" She bellowed, slapping his hand away.Matteo walked closer to her. "Mrs. Harring...""Vanderbilt." She corrected through clenched teeth."Mr. Giovanni would not like this; I think you should leave."Amelia rolled her eyes. "I am not leaving until Ethan Storm gets fired."It was then that Ethan suddenly snapped. "I have had enough of all this, Amelia; now you will have to leave.""And how are you going to make me leave?" She challenged. "Hit me? or pretend to be a good man in the presence of your co-workers?"Ethan bit his lips in anger; it was taking so much self-control not to slap Amelia right there and then. His hand clenched into a fist. He grabbed her hand again, and this time the punch he received was harder than the others."I told you not to touch me!"Ethan raised his hand to his face and wiped it; his nose was broken, with bl

Leonid stepped out of the car as soon as it came to a halt. His bodyguards walked behind him as he walked towards the building. When he got to the elevator, someone was rushing out of it.It was Amelia, and she was glancing back at the elevator, and soon enough, anger appeared from the back door. He had used the stairs when she shut the elevator in his face.There, you young miss, don't disappear on me. I'm just a harmless bodyguard.Amelia spun around in his voice, and her head hit something hard. Leonid's chest. She inhaled his scent, and her lips curled into a smile. He really smells good; she loved the way he smells.Her head raised and she stared at his face. He smiled down at her."Running away already?"**********Leonid sat on a chair in his room. He was sitting in front of a laptop screen. Typing away on the keyboard. Amelia, on the other hand, was going through her phone, and soon enough she got bored and walked over to him."See this," Amelia said after she had stood in fro

"You held no truth. Amelia, you held onto what you thought was the truth. I am glad that you did not tell me then because I would only hate my father harder. As for your father, he would have to pay for the pain he made me pass through."Amelia glanced at him. "I am going to confront him about it.""No need." Leonid said, and he parted her with his fingernails. "You did what you thought was right; you have no right to confront him about it. It is my job from here; just stay home and rest."Amelia shook her hand violently beneath his. "No, I am not going to stay here and let you confront him yourself. He had lied to me too and tried to turn me against you, and he also tried to kill you.""Chill out Elia. Ladies leave the hard job for the men.""What are you going to do to my father?" She asked."Nothing." He answered, trying hard to put on a calm face. "I'm just going to say hello, and was he at home before you left?""Yes." She replied. "What are you going to do to him?""Just to show

The bar was blasting with loud music, and Shelby led Leonid towards the stairs. Leonid glanced around the place; the room lights were dim, a mixture of lurole and blue.Strippers were everywhere, and a really cute brunette was doing the pole dance in the middle of the bar. As if she knew he was looking, she looked at him, offered him a smile, and continued to dance."Come along." Shelby said. "There is someone who has been waiting for you. I will introduce you to him when we get there."Leonid looked away from the club and headed up the stairs with his father. His father climbed the stairs fast and skillfully, and Leonid found himself repeating what his father had done. Shelby took a turn to the right as they were done climbing the stairs."Who am I going to meet?" Leonid asked, falling in step with his father. "I thought I mentioned not meeting anyone."Shelby glanced at him over his shoulders and said, "Yes, I know, but it's important for you to meet him."Leonid didn't respond unti
