2024-10-29 19:42:56"What's this?" Leo asked as he looked at the paper on the table that had been passed to him by his wife's secretary.
The sound of the obnoxious newscaster on the TV made it even worse and he felt like breaking the TV into pieces. Everything just seemed to annoy him after he had read the contents of that document."The divorce agreement that my boss ordered me to give to you." The secretary replied with a stern, no-nonsense tone. It was obvious that he was there for business, there was no time to mince words or to beat around the bush."Divorce agreement?" Leo muttered to himself in shock and disbelief. "Why? Where did this come from all of a sudden?"Leo's question elicited a cynical chuckle from the secretary and he leveled a condescending gaze on him. "Does she need a reason? A loser like you doesn't deserve a woman like my boss as your wife. You're too miserable to have someone like her."Leo felt a sharp pain in his chest as his wife's secretary made those derisive statements. It seemed that they had all forgotten how he sacrificed his own enterprise just to make sure that his wife and her family became successful and respectable members of the business industry.Leo was about to vent the pain in his heart and transfer his aggression to the man sitting before him when he heard his wife's name from the TV and his words hung in his throat as he paused to hear what the newscaster had to say about her."In the world of business and trade, Mrs Melissa Dubois, the hardworking and prestigious co-owner of Stallion Industries has clinched the award of businesswoman of the year for the third time in a row. She is the first woman to do this in history and the members of the business world, both men and women alike have confessed their deep respect and acknowledgement for her efforts. She will definitely go down in history as a legend in the history. The management team of this news channel also wishes to use this opportunity to congratulate her on her win and wish her more wins...."The rest of the newscaster's words were lost on Leo because his wife's secretary had already begun chewing him out over his wife's achievement."Did you hear that?" He asked him conceitedly, "I bet she could do more than that but it won't be possible if she's with a man who's as useless as you. She needs a man who's wealthy, confident, and powerful enough to support her dreams, not someone like you who can't even earn up to $3000 in a month."Leo gritted his teeth and frowned when he heard everything that the secretary said,'‘Many heirs from different wealthy and noble families are already queuing up to date your wife and no one will want you in the way. You will be doing everyone a favor if you sign that divorce agreement and walk away.’' The secretary continued."Listen here, I don't care if the president of the Union of Nations wants to date my wife," Leo said sternly to the secretary, "I want her to come and stand before me, I want her to look into my eyes and tell me that she wants to divorce me before I'll even consider signing it."The secretary knitted his brows in annoyance, "a small thing like this does not require her presence. In fact, if you sign it now, you'll be given a large amount of money as a settlementThe fact that the secretary was trying to use money as an incentive to make him sign the document made Leo angry and he glared at her furiously. "To hell with your money! I don't care about it. I've told you what I want, if you can't grant that then I'm going to leave here.""Your request is unreasonable, it can't be granted." The secretary replied with a cold gaze."Okay then," Leo said and stood up after sliding the document back to him, "forget about this, I'm out of here.""I know why you're doing this, Leo Dubois!" The secretary yelled loudly as Leo walked away from him. His yell attracted the attention of the people around and they all turned to look at the person making a scene."You're just trying to stall so that you can tempt us to double the money. Isn't that it? Well, I just want you to know that you don't really have a choice here. If you prove too stubborn and refuse to sign this, we're going to make you disappear and no one's going to remember that you ever existed. You know that we can do that right?" ‘Is that what she wanted?’ Leo couldn’t believe his wife could be so cruel.‘Yes’, the secretary smirked. Actually, she never said anything. He was just anxious to get her approval.Leo was boiling in anger as he walked out.Just as he was about to walk out of the cafe, he saw someone standing at the doorway.

The person standing at the doorway was none other than his wife, Melissa, and she was dressed in her Lauren Martins designer green dress that complemented her green shoes and purse. She was dressed like the wealthy woman that she was and it was almost impossible to believe that she was the wife of the average-looking man who stood before her in the cafe.She was the person he needed to see at that moment so her sudden appearance made him stop in his tracks."Melissa...." he muttered to himself,The secretary who had been raining threats on Leo grinned widely when he saw that Leo had stopped, he thought that his threats had worked and he rushed forward to confront him while spewing more insults."I knew it! You're a coward who can't even stand on his own decision! You better listen to me now or else...."He suddenly saw Melissa and he stopped in his tracks just like Leo did.He was a bit overwhelmed by her sudden appearance but he quickly got over it and bowed to her.

I Have The Power To Heal The World 3 A Strange, Sudden Call
The call was from one of the secretaries in a restaurant where Leo had booked a reservation. The reservation was supposed to be for him and Melissa where he planned to surprise her for her birthday. "Sorry?" the young lady on the phone retorted. "I said, cancel the reservation," Leo repeated gruffly."Uh...um...um...why sir?" she was confused. "by any chance, are you unsatisfied with any of our services? please tell us so that we can know where and how to serve you better. Do you need an upgrade for the reservation?"Leo was already fed up with everything. The word 'reservation' reminded him so much of his treasured marriage that he had just lost and all he wanted at that moment was for the whole world to shut up."Just do as I said." He snapped at the woman and hung up the phone.A few seconds after he disconnected the call and put it in his pocket, it rang again and he pulled it out with annoyance,"I said CANCEL THE RESERVATION!!!" Leo yelled into the phone, "Don't call me again!

The room also smelt thickly of disinfectant and it attacked their noses the moment they entered.Leo instantly noticed that there was someone lying on the bed and the person was surrounded by a lot of doctors and nurses.The moment Leo entered the room with the woman, all of them turned around and bowed their heads towards her in greeting."Welcome back, young Miss, we have been awaiting your arrival." They all said simultaneously.

Everyone was shocked at Leo's action and they all yelled in raw fear. Even the bodyguard who was stationed in the room pulled his gun and pointed it at Leo."What are you doing?!" the young Miss cried out in panic and slapped Leo's hand."Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's be civil about this," Leo said in mock surrender as he put his hands in the air. "I'm going to cure him, didn't you guys bring me here to cure him?""Cure him?" One of the doctors asked angrily, "Do you seriously expect us to believe that bullshit? Can you guys hear him?"Another doctor said, "He's trying to tell us that an unlicensed individual like him can cure an illness that professionals like us haven't been able to cure for weeks now. That's the biggest joke of the year."Leo gently put the knife down and shrugged, "It's not a big deal if you don't want me to treat him. But one thing that I'll assure you is that he doesn't have much time left."What's this dumbass talking about?" One of the female doctors said and ch

The moment the scalpel pierced the man's chest, he made a loud gasping noise and it was then that everyone in the room realized what Leo had done."Oh my God! What have you done?!" the lead doctor asked in pure despair and terror.The bodyguard who hadn't noticed Leo earlier suddenly tackled him to the ground and locked him in a chokehold.He began to tighten the chokehold on Leo's neck with a single motive- murder.Luckily for Leo, the young Miss quickly intervened before the guard could squeeze the life out of him."Wait, don't kill him yet," she said as she towered over them on the floor.Once she noticed that the guard's chokehold had loosened, she bent down and slapped Leo across the face.WHACK!Turning to the doctors, she said, "Someone please take out that scalpel before he dies."The doctors had been hesitant to remove the scalpel because they didn't want to complicate the old man's condition any further.

Helen's face turned sour when she heard her grandfather call Leo's name.She had wanted to hug him when he woke up but now that he was mentioning the name of a man that she disliked, she frowned and kept her hands to herself."Why are you looking for Leonardo Dubois?" Helen asked irritatedly, "he almost killed you."If her grandfather was shocked by that statement, he didn't show it because his facial expression remained cold, devoid of emotions as he asked again, "Where is Leonardo Dubois?""Grandpa," Helen tried to speak softly but her voice betrayed her and dripped with thick irritation, "you don't need Leonardo Dubois, I've already called Mr. Greg."For the first time since he woke up, the old man's facial expression changed to a frown and he opened his mouth to say something. However, whatever he wanted to say was interrupted by the sudden entrance of a man into the room.SLAM!The door swung open with so much force and ferocity that it seemed like the door would fall out of its

"I need you to promise me that you'll marry my daughter, Helen."'What is this man talking about?' Leo asked himself, 'where did he get this hilarious idea of telling me to marry his daughter?'Before Leo could compose himself from the shock of Maxwell's request and give a response, Helen butted in with a hot-headed rejection."No! No way in hell Grandpa!" She cried, "There's no way I'm getting married to this man. That's not how things are done."As she spoke, she eyed Leo with contempt, Leo noticed the death glances that Helen was sending his way and he couldn't help but shake his head and think, 'The feeling is mutual.'He then turned to Maxwell, summoned his most polite voice and said. "I'm sorry sir, but I can't grant this request. It's beyond me."Leo could see the disappointment cloud Maxwell's face when he heard his response.‘What if I can help you to find out the truth about the death of your parents?’For years, Leo had no clue about this, how could he know it.

Leo and Kyrian stood with to their hands handcuffed to each other before the large portrait of Sarah Jensen previously Sarah Homer in the living room of her expansive oceanside mansion. He was surprised at how homely the building looked as it was all warm colors and bright decor which was in very sharp contrast with his own home which was mostly black and white furniture and filled with technology. The only gadget in sight in the living room was the large TV and he couldn't spot a single security camera around. He loved the way the home felt secure and welcoming and he was sure that even though Helen said nothing about it, she was worried by the lack of privacy in their own home.

Sarah, Kyrian's daughter sat in her baby's nursery desperately trying to shush her from her screaming. She had already fed her twice but the child just kept on wailing at the top of her lungs. She had fired the baby's nanny a few days ago after she found out that she was having an affair with her husband. She had kicked him out of the house too and he had slept on the front porch for three nights in a row knocking and screaming and begging her to let him in. She promised to call the police each time his noise woke her up. It was probably the wedding contract she had made him sign before they got married that made him so desperate to win her back. He had signed away thirty to forty five percent of his business empire if they were ever to get divorced depending on the length of the marriage, currently she was eligible to take up to thirty nine percent of all he had without even lifting a finger.The affair had began from the night she hired the nanny and she didn't even know until she

Old age took away certain luxuries from him he would never get back."Good day sir" the security guard greeted him as he stepped down onto the grass."Good day. Where's my car and escort?" Kyrian asked while responding curtly to the greeting."Right this way sir, just follow me" the guard said and began to lead the way to where the cars were parked. At a comfortable speed they should be able to reach Dartford City before night fall where he had dinner reservation with Leonardo Dubois.

Gordon wiped his brow, the steam from the pots blurring his vision. The clatter of plates filled the small kitchen of St. Jude's Orphanage, a rhythmic echo of lives lived in shadows. He had just finished scrubbing a particularly stubborn pan when the sharp whistle pierced the air, cutting through the dull mood of the evening routine. Instinctively, he froze, the scrub brush still in his hand, unsure what was happening.“Come on, Gordon! We need to hurry!” shouted his roommate, Ethan, bursting through the door with a wild look in his eyes.“What....What’s going on?” Gordon asked, his heart pounding as he dropped the brush and followed Ethan into the hallway. The other boys were already racing past them down the hallway , they were laughter and shouts a mixture of excitement and anxiety which left Gordon more perplexed .“It’s a billionaire!” Ethan exclaimed, his voice barely above a whisper, yet it crackled with energy. “He’s coming to adopt a kid from the orphanage.

Jason stared open mouthed at the man who stood before him. He had a chance to see the most vulnerable side of one of the richest men in the world. He didn't know what Leo was trying to hide his child from but he knew that it must be something or someone dangerous."I brought half your payment in full. My friend Hazel will be traveling with you and when you drop them she will get you the remaining half of the money" Leo said as he motioned to Hazel. "Where exactly an I going to drop them?" Jason asked Leo but he shook his head in reply. "I don't know. The only people who know are Hazel and James who chose the location. Hazel won't tell you the destination either until you are out of the country's airspace to avoid any sort of device picking up communication" Leo said a little bit paranoid but of course he was paranoid, if a deranged killer with a personal vendetta against you snuck into your house so easily with the sun if killing your wife, you'd be terribly paranoid."Alright then

"What the fuck" Leo cursed as he stumbled out of his vehicle. He saw Hazel and Ross's vehicle reversing quickly and stopping a few feet away from the hitman's crashed car. They carefully stepped out while keeping their heads down. Leo got to the car them and forced the car door open. He took one good look at the half conscious hitman before reaching over and snatching the gun out of his hands"This moronic unprofessional is why you two were running over thirty minutes late?' Leo asked them with a slight smirk and they both laughed."You should have seen yourself when you realized we were being pursued. You practically made that turn like a formula 1 driver" Ross joked before he walked up to Leo and wrapped him in a hug. "Any one hurt on your side?" Leo asked with concern but they both shook their heads. "What of Helen and James?" Hazel asked a little worriedly but she smiled when she saw Helen helping James out of the car and waving at them."They're fine. We have to get out of her
