She had lost all hopes, tears flowed freely down her already reddened face. She cringed under his filthy touch. Bang! The door was kicked open. "What the hell!?!" Ray yelled, jumping off the bed in fright. There stood Leonard in the doorway staring at Clementine who was crying softly. His eyes were filled with anger, seeing how helplessly she laid naked on the bed. He slowly glanced towards Ray who was only wearing his underwear. "How did you get in here?! What happened to the bodyguards? Guards!!" Ray yelled, the veins of his forehead and neck were throbbing. "There's no need for you to yell. They are all done," Leonard said, taking slow steps towards him. "Leonard?" Clementine muttered in surprise on opening her eyes. Ray walked backwards, staring at Leonard with fear in his eyes. Leonard had beaten all their guards? Does that mean he had also beaten up his father and brother? What would happen to him now? He looked towards Clementine and rushed towards her, holding out

"I–I, uh… I came to see you both. Keith, I'm really sorry I left you both all alone. I was scared. I didn't want to see Liam die," the woman said, bursting into another round of tears.Keith stared at her as she shed tears with disgust on his face."We both know that's a lie! You left before Liam was even diagnosed with a disease. You always insulted me for being useless. You think I don't know that you now have a rich boyfriend. Haha, Marissa, I never knew you were such a slut!" Keith barked at her furiously."Don't you dare call me that!" Marissa said, pointing at him angrily. "Yes, I left you because you were poor. I needed a good life but now I'm back. Ain't you happy to see me?" " No! Just leave, "Keith gestured towards the door.Marissa was enraged. She had come here to straighten things up with Keith but he was being stubborn." Keith, you can't chase me away from here! You can't! Liam is also my son and he needs his mother, " Marissa said persistently." Really?" Keith said w

Leonard and Mary walked into the busy store with a little crowd in it. "Well, it seems the store is a little bit crowded than usual," Mary said with a chuckle. Leonard nodded in agreement. "It's almost time for Christmas." "Yeah. Will you be–" "Hello there, it's so nice to see you both here. I'm Davida, and I'm here to attend to your needs. What's your budget for today?" An attendant said with a wide smile, unknowingly interrupting Mary. "Uh, well," Mary said. "$15000. I think that's okay right?" She asked, looking at Leonard. "Your choice actually," he answered indifferently. "Alright

"Well, since it been proved that this woman is innocent, I will have to apologize ma'am. We weren't aware of the shrewd practices of our manager," Mr Daniels said to the woman. However, the woman was too immersed in thinking about how to thank Leonard to notice Mr Daniels apologetic gesture. Leonard had come like an angel and helped her when she was just a total stranger. There were indeed still good people in this world. "Mister, I really don't know how to appreciate you for what you've done for me. Here's my business card just Incase. Please don't hesitate to call me whenever you get the chance to," The woman said with a smile, handing him a small golden card. Leonard smiled and nodded, collecting it. "You don't have to thank me ma'am. It's always good to stand up for what's right." The woman smiled widely and looked at everyone with a 'thank you' gaze and left. Leonard turned the card in his hands over. "Oh my! She's the president of Megan Conglomerate. Miss Vanessa Bryant!"

The next day. Leonard and Mary arrived at the Clinton's manor in his blue jaguar. The party was just about to begin by the time they had arrived. Most of the guests had already arrived, so Leonard could see that the extremely spacious parking lot outside the Clintons' manor was basically full of all kinds of luxury cars. It seemed that most of the guests attending Amanda's birthday party were from prestigious families. Leonard found an empty parking spot and casually packed his blue jaguar. He got out of the car and went around, opening the door for Mary. "Thank you," She said with a wide smile. Mary was clad in a sleeveless red long gown which formed a fit at the upper level and a full skirt (flare). Her black emerald hair was curled up, bouncing on her shoulders as she walked. Her face was made up in simple makeup. He nodded, carrying the gift bags in his hand. They walked towards the entrance of the Clintons' manor. "Hey, look who's here," A voice sneered behind them.
