Chapter 11
Antonio strolls into the office a few hours later, and sees that the receptionist, Joyce, was busy typing, wondering what they were doing. "Hola, Joyce." He greets her jokingly. She was one of the girls that he had slept with to secure a job in the company."Good morning, sir." She replied harshly and he cocked his head sideways. That was new. He thought. "It's a good thing you're just coming in." She replied dryly.The shiteating grin slipped off from his face as he stared at the way her hands were flying on the keyboard. Never had he seen her this focused before so what changed. "Aren't you working too hard? Aiming for the staff of the year?" He teased trying to understand what was actually going on.Joyce's eyes snapped to him and stared at him with contempt in her eyes at his attempt of joking like his usual manner, "Maybe it's time to actually earn my keep. One thing it does is restores my respect." She flung at him.Antonio leaned over her desk, and peered into her computer to

"What did he say when you arrived at his office?" Leonard inquired from Emma when she entered his office.Not wanting to sound like a complainant at every little thing because she knew the boss, she decided not to talk. Instead she settled for shrugging. "He only asked for my name and whatnot." She replied.Leonard didn't believe her story because judging from her demeanor he could decipher that she was perplexed by something. "Emma, tell me what happened there." He said and she sighed."He was acting a bit flirty towards me but I told him off." She replied, watching his face, gauging his reaction to see what he would do.Leonard balled his fists but maintained a friendly countenance. No one needed to know that he was angry at the moment. His eyes flickered toward her and also gauged her reaction. "Sorry about that."Emma waved her hand in a dismissive manner. She was not taking whatever Antonio did to heart. Neither did she think that it was a representation of him. She had known h

"Then tell me who did it this instant or I will not hesitate to fire you. You don't want to remain penniless after all, do you?" He replied in a very angry tone. Mr. Ben's eyes flickered to the right as he stared at him, he was helpless. He needed this money to feel his wife and children and everything he held dear. Getting cut out of this business would put a dent on his image because he was sure that Leonard wouldn't issue a recommendation letter to him no matter how he begged. "It was your brother Antonio." "How do I believe you? For all I know you might be trying to frame him so that I don't send you out." Ben's hands went straight to the air. " I swear, I don't know anything about this. I don't know if you have anything in mind. we can go to him together. He gave me orders that I couldn't reject, sir. I swear I didn't want to do it. I have the conversation on my phone, the chats, the calls, everything, even the money he gave me to buy my silence." Wow! Leonard thought, this

Chapter 14
Leonard was up on his feet immediately rushing out of the door like a man chased by a mad man. His heart pounded uncontrollably as he tried to remember what he was saying. "Where is the driver? Shit! I mean this is ridiculous! Where is the driver?!" Jesus! His heart pounded as a car drove into the compound at full speed and he immediately slipped into it with Emma on the tow as the driver sped off following Emma's directions. His heart was racing faster than the speed of light and he finally remembered to pray. This was something that could ruin his life. His hands practically shook, and at this moment he couldn't even pretend as though he was not afraid one bit. When the car pulled up in front of the hospital, he sighed in relief. The driver had not finished parking when he alighted from his car and rushed towards the entrance and thus into the reception. He saw the principal at the counter and sighed in relief again. "Mr. Leonard, I wanted to reach you but your phone was busy

Chapter 15
Leonard rested his head against the backseat for two minutes. Ava was finally stable. There were a few things that got to him but this took the cake. After the spat with Sophie which he thought didn't deserve that title because he basically chewed her up if he wanted to be sincere but he'd let that slide.He shut the door gently, alighted, and marched to his office. The funny thing was that he was still early."Good morning, sir." Joyce said when he walked to the table. There was a small attendance list on her table which he quickly scanned through.An impressive number of people had arrived. It was still a few minutes to eight though so he didn't need to stress himself concerning that. When he entered his office, he slumped on the chair and stretched his legs in front of him. Exhaustion getting the best of him. He waited a few minutes before picking up his folder and going through his schedule for today.Emma was not here to bring in the planner so he was going to have to do it hims

Chapter 16
Leonard arrived at the front of the building that was slated for the party to happen. It was an impressive high-rise building. He had only decided to attend because his brother was busy pestering him and also because he talked about the possibility of meeting with great people who would make their company grow bigger which if he wanted to be honest wasn't a really bad idea. The only problem he was having now was the fact that these people would be expecting him to engage in their shenanigans.He didn't think that anyone who was associated with Antonio was a serious person because like the adage said, show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are. A bouncer opened the door and he walked in immediately. He didn't even need to show them his card which caused him to be surprised. Wasn't that the standard of things?The ballroom was designed to make sure that they were comfortable. It was an amazing decor and he was busy taking notes. if the company ever needed to host a pa

The lady was stunned by the rebuff and waited a minute before speaking, "What did you just say?" She replied.Leonard stared at her. " I'm sure that I didn't speak French, did I? I don't appreciate flirting. We don't do business like that around here." He replied, enjoying the shock on her face as she stared at him. "You can't mean that. I know that you're trying to play hard to get like other CEOS. Trust me, I have most of them on retainer." She bragged while wiggling her brows seductively or what she thought would make his head spin."That's good for you." He muttered and stared ahead, watching a few ladies dancing happily. It was annoying that he was here already, adding all this foolery to the mix was just pure disaster.He should have stayed at the hospital with his daughter. He brought out his phone to call Emma. God bless her heart was with his daughter and here he was wasting precious time.A hand pushed his phone away and he looked up to see a reprimanding look on the spoilt

Chapter 18
Leonard peeped through the window of the ward and watched Emma stroking his daughter's hair while reading her a bedtime story. It warmed his heart greatly and he couldn't help but wonder if things would have been different if he had met this sister. He saw her lips move when she was staring at him and he realized that she was staring at him.Emma giggled softly when she saw Leonard standing at the door watching them. A little blush crept up her face which she prayed simmered down before she could talk to her. "I don't think you know how amazing you are when you do these things." He muttered and she shook her head at his words. He cast a glance at his daughter who lay on the bed smiling weakly at him."Daddy, I've missed you." She whispered and Leonard felt his hard heart break at the sight of his daughter still in pain. It was evident in her eyes but his relief was that she was conscious. "I missed you too, darling. I'm happy you're back."Emma rose and excused the duo to have thei

Chapter 19
Leonard jerked when he heard the door open. It was none other than his ex-wife glaring at him as though he had done the unthinkable to her. He returned his attention to his laptop and continued working, ignoring her presence. "How is my daughter doing?" She spoke, causing his head to tilt upwards at the voice. "I'm not the doctor, am I?"Emma watched the exchange and averted her eyes. Her sister was never going to change. She was always sporting a fight which was something that she'd never understand. "Good morning, Sophie." Sophie's head turned to her sister's direction and stared at her with contempt in her eyes. Why was she sitting here with her husband acting all nice, was she trying to make her look bad in front of him? " What are you doing here?" She inquired. Leonard's head snapped up at the question. "What do you mean by what she is doing here?" Sophie walked closer to Emma, ignoring Leonard's voice. "I don't understand why you are still here. Is it that you don't like

Chapter 20
A wave of embarrassment washed over Emma who was thinking of how to face Leonard and the little girl. In her opinion, she hadn't gotten to the age of stomach differences between her parents but her sister was refusing to see that. She was always seeking a way to make sure that she fought her and Leonard tooth and nail which she felt embarrassed about. "I'm sorry about my sister's attitude. Ava, don't think about your mom in that light, no matter what happens, she still remains your mom, do you understand that?" She inquired from the little girl who just stared at her mother's retreating figure. Leonard didn't want to speak ill of Sophie but she was going to push the little girl away with her hands. " Darling, you don't need to worry about your mom, she didn't mean those words she said. Once we finalize the divorce, she will be alright." "Will she really? Mom is very angry and rude." Ava responded and the adults went quiet. It was obvious that the little girl wasn't so little anymor
