When Leonid arrived home the next morning, Amelia had already dressed up for work. She was putting on a white shirt, long black pants, and a black suit jacket to match. She was eating at dinner when he met her."You said you would be home yesterday but turned up today." She scolded. "Well you can be by yourself today, I ma heading to work and tell does stupid men to let me leave." She glanced at her wristwatch. "I am late, and all they could think of was a stupid rule."Leonid took his seat beside her and picked up a plate. He was about to scoop food for himself when she hit him in the hand with her spoon."Don't you dare touch it!" She yelled. "I made it only for myself; make yours."She seemed to be angry at him for something, and he didn't know why she was angry at him. Was it because he hadn't shown up earlier than she wanted him to?"I couldn't come home yesterday; I met a...""Save me the explanation; just tell your men to let me go.""No." He shook his head. "Listen to me, and

Elizabeth and her brother walked into the room. A sheepish smile was playing on her lips; she looked like she was happy about something. Roland, on the other hand, was trying really hard not to shiver as they walked into the room. Roland had a book in his hand and was flipping through the pages. His mind was not in the book but in all that was happening.Elizabeth walked closer to him; she placed a leg on his table as she glanced at him. Leonid peeked out of the hole from the place he was hiding. He couldn't believe that she was the nerdy Elizabeth he had seen the other day.This one was putting on a short gown that barely covered her buttocks and had really long heels on. She was not wearing her usual big eyeglasses, and her hair doesn't look like it was chewed by mice anymore. Leonid's grip on the gun tightened; she had been deceiving his wife all along.He glanced to his side and saw Saint grinning with his phone in his hand. He was recording the whole scene."Roland, did you get t

Anger was about to grab a bite when Leonid walked into the dining room. Amelia was behind him, carrying a little sparkling handbag, and Viktor was beside him, pulling the box along."Mister Rizzo, when did you arrive?" Satan asked, sulking on the hot pasta he had just placed in his mouth."A couple minutes ago." Viktor answered. "I wanted to visit my brother.""Great, where are you heading with the box?" Reaper questioned."Are you traveling?" Saint asked."No, we all are." Leonid said.Anger dropped his fork and folded his arm. "Young master, I am going nowhere."Leonid glanced at him; his brows rose. "You are going to drive me to the place I am going to.""No way, I am the one to drive." Viktor said.Anger's lips curled into a smile. "Whatever.""Where are we going?" Satan asked. "A beach house? A penthouse? Across the ocean? An island?"Viktor smiled softly. "No, we are going to visit my mom, and that is better than any beach house.""What?" Saint asked. "Are we going to see the bo

Leonid frowned at his mother. "You can't divorce dad. I know he hurts us a lot, but you can't divorce him. It is not his fault that this all happened in the first place."Amelia frowned back at him. "I can divorce him, and I have to."Viktor's and Amelia's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. The rest of the men who were eating paused to stare."Mom, why? You can't do that. He came back for you and Leonid." Amelia said."And he loves you both." Viktor added.Lilith was not hearing any of it. She shook her head. "He left us 20 years ago; we are better off without him.""I want him to be here with us." Leonid said. "Aren't you happy that he came back after all these years?""I am not." Lilith grumbled. "He can't just walk back into our lives like nothing ever happened.""I know…""He put you through stress, made you the target of bullies, and made you skip college.""I own a company now," Leonid said.''From the look of things, you have forgiven him." Lilith said. "You ca

The house was quiet when they got in, and Lilith was furious that they had taken her to Shelby's house instead of hers. Saint and Satan still smiled at her and led the way, even though her tongue was practically cutting through their ears."How could you bring me to this place?" She screamed. "Did he ever visit me at the hospital?""Mom, calm down." Leonid muttered. "You don't have to scream at him; he was only doing his job.""His job?!" Lilith yelled, turning to face him. "He has no right to bring me here."Viktor held Leonid and pulled him along with him. Amelia followed suit, while Lilith kept yelling as she was directed in a different direction."What's going on?" Leonid asked as soon as Viktor pushed open a door and entered."I have to tell you something." Viktor muttered, taking his seat."Okay?" Leonid asked, raising his eyebrows."Dad discovered something." Viktor pointed to a seat.Leonid sat on it, and Amelia sat on the couch that was not close to them. She took out her pho
