Matilda let out a deep breath as soon as she walked out of Leonard 's office. She took more deep breath calming her heart which was still racing. It was a good thing Leonard didn't push further. What was her mother thinking? For a moment, she thought she'd kiss the deal goodbye, her job also. She'd have to stop taking her mom's call in the company if she still wanted to be on Leonard 's good side. She made her way to her office, taking her mind of her mother and focusing instead on the remaining task of the day, making the documents for the board meeting scheduled to hold the following week her top priority. She prepared Leonard 's copy of the document as well as that of the other associates. Leonard would need to approve it and she'd also have to make them ready for the associates at least three day before the meeting. “Matilda, you don't take a break do you?” Evans, the newest employee in F and A approached her, leaning against her desk. She worked under the personal department, b

The trip to Bali was faster than usual, at least, in comparison to the actual distance, since Matilda hadn't ever been there. She breathed a deep sigh the moment they landed, an indication of the end of her misery, or so she thought. The trip was far from what she envisioned, with Leonard a few inches from her, watching her every move. She'd been far from comfortable all through the trip, and now that she stepped out of the jet, she breathed in the first air of Bali with a smile lining her face. "What are you doing, Matilda? The bags sure as hell won't get themselves." Leonard who was clearly irritated, snapped, looking from Matilda to his jet. "Right away, sir," she mumbled, strutting away to grab his suitcases, boxes and other bags. Leonard watched her scurry off and she returned moments later, her petite body almost sinking with the weight of the loads in her hands and chest, as she struggled to maintain her balance. Leonard stood there, watching as beads of sweat form on her scr

“Take and eat, the day of reckoning is ahead, you need strength.” The abductor says to Matilda. “What have I done to deserve this from you? I barely know you and I don't know why you're keeping me here. It's been three days and I'm living like a rat in your dungeon. What exactly do you want from me?” She says, sobbing.Laughing, “Eat your food, I told you, you need strength when everything unfolds you'll understand why I needed you.” He said, as he pushed her food to her and left the room.“The day of reckoning?” She asks herself thinking about what exactly she has had to anyone, she has always been gentle and she doesn't even fight or get on the bad side of anyone. Her life was meant to be perfect but here it is living like her rat the night when her marriage was hitting its peak.*** “Have you seen her anywhere near here?” Leonardasks, showing Matilda's picture to a lady walking by “Please if you see her contact this number, thank you. He says handing out the flier. He was exhauste

CHAPTER 58NOT AWAREThe students were drowned in their gossip and could not believe what they just heard."How is it even possible that Leonardis a VIP student?""Everyone on campus knows him. He can't even afford three square meals." Their words were loud enough for Leonardto hear but none of that mattered to him.Everyone had the right to believe what they wanted to believe. All he wanted now was to have his revenge and fulfill the task that he had been given to do.Moving closer towards Mrs. Idris, he shot a glance at her as it gradually moved back to the students."And as much as I can observe. That is very much true. What do you have to say about it?" He inquired, waiting for a response.Thoughts ran through her mind knowing too well that she was in a really difficult situation.Her hands were clenched with so much anger. "Leonard. I am going to make sure you pay for it." She growled under her breath.Her anger was soon replaced with a forced smile as she turned towards Mr. Max

The eyes of Mrs. Andrea, the manager, blazed with anger as the young man, standing beside her, quickly pulled away from the place.Leonardcould already see the embarrassment that was written all over her face as she tried to hide it.But the man that was standing right beside her seemed so shameless, blowing a kiss in her direction as he continued to set his clothes."See you later, Mrs. Andrea." There was a strange smirk on his face as he made his way out of the hall.Walking past Leonard, he shot a cold stare at him before finally making his way out of the hall.After he left the hall, Leonardwas left only with the manager, and as her gaze moved gradually towards her direction, her emotions flung up into anger.As though everything that was in her was directed towards him, she stiffened with so much hate and anger."Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Her voice thundered in his direction like a sleek dagger.He was about to muster words, but then she waved his hands quickly,
