"We all thought you would never come back to us. Look how handsome you have become," his mother said to him, caressing his face with tenderness. "Catherine, Leonard needs to rest. Let him go upstairs for a shower then you can talk to him for as long as you want," Shadrach said with a faint smile. "True. Leonard, go have a shower. I will prepare your favourite meal for you. Your return calls for a celebration.' Leonard gave out a smile and ascended the stairs. Catherine wiped off a tear running down her cheek. "Shadrach, our son has changed. Didyou feel the incredible and intimidating aura he now carries?" Shadrach sighed and nodded, staring at the empty staircase. "I noticed it too. I wonder what happened to him in the prison all these years." … Leonard stepped out of the bathroom with a towel round his waist. Water dripped down from his well chiseled chest and arms to the carpet. He walked towards his phone on the bed and picked it up, punching in some digits, he dialed a num

"Mom, Leonard has travelled out of the city. What do we do now?" Cordelia said to her mom as they walked home.Lauren stared at the pedestrian pathway thoughtfully, before glancing at the bag in her hand. "We will call him. As long as this bag is very important to him, there's no way he won't come for it.""And then we threaten him into giving us what we deserve! He can't just freeload off us and when he finally gets a good life, he decides to forget us.""Alright mom. That's a good idea. Leonard thinks that he can freeload off us and then disappear, he must take us for fools," Cordelia said with hatred in her eyes.Ever since she got sacked from Marshall's corporation, her life has been miserable. No one wanted to employ her because they will always want to know why she was sacked from such a reputable company.She couldn't find any suitable excuse to give so she was never offered any job. Now, she had been reduced from a company worker with a huge salary and benefits to a cleaner a

A Secret Base."So what're you going to do?" Aquafina asked, staring at Leonard.Leonard had just informed them about what Natasha had told him on the phone.Leonard sipped from his glass of whiskey with a sullen look on his face and replied, "Nothing.""Huh?" Diana and Aquafina chorused, exchanging glances."What'd you mean by nothing?"Leonard inhaled sharply. "The time isn't right yet. I'm sure he would not bring them directly here, they will be fine in the meantime.""You sound so sure," Diana said with a raised brow.Leonard nodded. "Yes, I am. Natasha is with them.""Oh, do you really trust her that much?" Aquafina asked.Leonard casted a glance at her. "I trust no one but as the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.""How's the search coming up? You both haven't found her yet?" Leonard asked with a raised brow, looking at them both.He had flown them to California to find the lost member of the lost dragon, Mikel but uptill now, there has been no positiv

"Ma'am, we have done the best we can for your grandfather. There's nothing more except to hope for the master's speedy recovery." "If there's nothing we could do to cure his ailment, what do you think this quack here can do?" Doctor Justin asked with disgust in his eyes as he stared at Leonard. Emily frowned at his statement. He was obviously insulting Leonard. "Just because you couldn't cure my grandfather doesn't mean someone else can't. At least, let him try." "And what will he dies?" Amelia asked. "Huh?" Emily mouthed with surprise. "What the hell are you sprouting there? Grandpa won't die." "Hmph, you trust this rapist so much that he would be the end of you," Amelia replied with a scoff. Emily rolled her eyes and ignored Amelia totally. "Leonard, please." Leonard nodded and walked towards the old man lying in a somewhat lifeless posture. This ailment seemed to be more than a case of asthma. Placing a palm on the old man's chest, Leonard closed his eyes and muttered some

"I don't care! I don't care!" Emily yelled back in tears to his surprise.Emily's eyes were red, her makeup was ruined, mascara running down her eyes alongside her tears."Y'all pushing me to marry someone I don't want to marry. Only grandpa stood by him, so do you think I brought Leonard here just to spend time with him?""Yes, it was true I fell in love with him but that was a long time ago not anymore. True, he didn't go to any medical school but still shouldn't we give it a trial.""I requested that Dr Aquafina be brought in here but she was busy and sent Leonard instead. So why don't we just trust him?" Doctor Justin raised a brow. "Doctor Aquafina?"Emily nodded. "Yes, Doctor Aquafina.""Doctor Aquafina is well known throughout the USA to be a very reputable doctor who knows her needles well. To get acquainted with her is very hard, more so for a doctor like me, so how can that thing get acquainted with her?" Doctor Justin said with disbelief."Do you think I'm lying? I saw the
