Leo watched the city lights go up from his hotel room as darkness slowly engulfed the city. He had a glass of smooth red wine in his hands and he swirled the delicious drink around in it's glass not even giving it a sip. He had a lot on his mind and his dark face was another confirmation of that.[Let all be ware. A new dawn is coming. A beast shall walk the grounds of this town and when the sun shines anew, it shall burn away all that is old and the beast shall build itself a fortress from the bones of its enemies and all that defies it]It was a quote from a Georgian writer of little appraisal who lived a few hundred years ago. It was known generally among the people of the Divine Clan as the prophecy of doom and they held the sacred responsibility of stopping the beast from walking the ground.'There's no way Damon would have been correct about the prophecy. This isn't the first time the prophecy has been rumoured to occur" Leo had a bad feeling about everything happening but he tr
Leo quickly grabbed hold of his briefcase and dived into the bathroom, he waited a few minutes until the footsteps receded out of his hearing range before coming out. He tiptoed out of the room and took the stairs down. He knew that there would be someone waiting at the front of the hotel so he avoided the dining area and followed the back of the hotel.The minute he got to the garden behind the hotel he began running at his full speed but at a sharp bend he tried to turn within looking and he ran directly into somebody."Oof!" He grunted as him and the person tumbled to the floor. It took him less than a second to regain his senses and he realized that he had bumped into a woman and his head was currently rested on her breasts and he knew who the woman was from her nice smell.Melissa.He quickly pushed off her body and got up to help her up. She gave him a weird stare before accepting his help."What are you doing out here this late and why are you in such a hurry?" She asked as she
Helen sat in the room opposite Arthur and she felt uncomfortable because she didn't like the looks he was giving her. It was as if he knew something that she didn't. She hadn't heard from Leo since the last night and she was beginning to worry excessively. "You look nervous Helen, what's happening? Why is your lapdog not here yet?" Arthur asked with a mischievous smile. "You bastard! What have you done to him?" Helen replied with a threatening tone and Arthur shrunk away in mock fear. "I haven't done anything to him... yet" Arthur smiled again. "You see, by now my assassins already have him in their possession and are awaiting my orders. I only came to this meeting as a formality, I never had any plans to sign the merger but I have a counter proposal that could help you save your boyfriend" Helen gave Arthur a long hard glare before sighing and giving up. "What do you want Arthur?" She asked him in a resigned tone. "I will release him if you agree to marry me and make me y
Melissa walked into the Jones Corporation building in grace as paparazzi took photos of her every step of the way.She navigated her way through the halls and eventually found herself standing in front of Leo's secretary who she could describe in two words; beautiful and rude. She hated the way the lady ignored her and focused on filing her nails and she cleared her throat three times before she looked up and gave her an angry glare for disturbing her little make-up session."I'm here to see Leo" Melissa said with an air of authority but the lady only looked at the list in front of her for a second before going back to her nails."You don't have an appointment so you can't see him. Make an appointment and come back later" the lady replied rudely and Melissa wanted to grab her nail file and slit her throat with it. "Please what's your name?" Melissa asked nicely this time but it made no difference to Leo's secretary."Marie, but knowing my name is not getting you in to see Leo. Go get
Leo looked at Melissa with a mixture of surprise and disappointment. She was obviously not happy about marrying this guy but she was still going ahead with it. "Why? I honestly thought you had some integrity. Why would you be doing this simply for connections" Leo asked with reproach in his voice."I didn't come here to be judged Leo and I'll appreciate it very much if you just respected me and not try to make me feel any worse than I do right now" Melissa said to him."Alright, alright, but if you wanted someone who would hide the facts and sugarcoat the truth then you shouldn't have come to me" Leo said as he laid off on reproaching her."I know, this was a big mistake" she said as she stood up to leave but a thin piece of paper beautifully designed with red and gold colours fell out of her handbag and Leo was at her side to pick it up in a heartbeat."A wedding invitation? Wait, so you were going to leave here without giving me this?" Leo looked at her in shock."Your presence at
Leo walked into his hotel room tired as ever and flopped onto his sofa like a log of wood. He was now occupying two major positions of power; vice president of the Jones Corporation and CEO of LD Allied.He had to make decisions for both companies and it was wearing him down. He forced himself off the sofa and managed to remove his tie and suit jacket before collapsing into the king sized bed. He thought over the events of the day and went through all the happenings categorically in his head but his weary body soon convinced him into deep sleep and he slept comfortably through the night until a slight knock on his door woke him up. He jumped off the bed as his paranoia levels have been insane since Arthur sent those assassins after him. He pulled out a small knife from out of a book on his bedside table and creeped towards the door.He got to the door and hid behind it for a while until he heard the soft knock again then he quickly opened it and rushed out with his knife poised to st
"No!" Leo yelled as he felt for a pulse. The bullet had struck him in the in the chest and with Leo's expert medical knowledge he could tell that it had hit the heart. There was nothing he could do at that moment to save Mr Jones from certain death but he didn't want to acknowledge that."Aaah!" He yelled in fury and then he heard the sound of footsteps clattering away in a hurry. He could hear police sirens around but that didn't stop him. He leaped over cars and cut corners as he chased down the shooter with murderous intent.The shooter was a slightly heavy man and he stood no chance in the world against Leo and he dived straight and struck him in the back. They both fell over and rolled for a split second before Leo was back on his case.He wrapped his strong arms around the shooters neck and began to squeeze with his anger in full display as he roared."Step away from him and put your hands in the air!!" He heard a shouted command come from a powerful voice behind him."Get away
"David?" Helen asked in shock as the police officer took a few steps closer to her.He was a handsome tall man with tanned skin and black hair and his sunglasses with gold rims added a lot more to his appeal. He spoke to her in a warm and friendly manner. "Helen, wow it's been what? Five or six years since I saw you last. I'm so sorry about your grandfather, he was a good man and he didn't deserve to be-""Don't give me that shit David, who shot Leo?" She recovered her composure and anger smoothly but she couldn't hide how uncomfortable she felt about the whole situation."Well, Helen, I did but there was a good reason for it" He answered her after he got some distance between them. He knew they had a not entirely pleasurable history and he wasn't about to give the most powerful woman in the city a reason to come for his head."What?!" Helen glared at him with obvious murderous intent but she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and clear her head."Give me one reason I should
