"And who do we have here?" Jordan said with a sneer. Leonard and the ladies looked up at him annoyed with his intrusion but to their surprise he wasn't alone but with two others. Leonard's face twitched with recognition. The young man standing in front of him was the same one who had humiliated at George's party. He could easily recognize Martin who was cowardly hiding at the back of another tall and handsome young man, but he merely saw them as insignificant figures. Leonard took a sip of his drink not bothering with them. Mary was furious. She had witnessed how Jordan had humiliated Leonard at her father's party so she was certain he came here to make trouble. "What do you want?" She asked coldly. Tyson took the lead to reply her. "You must be Miss McKay. I'm Tyson Benson." Mary raised her brows without interest. " And so? That doesn't state the reason for your intrusion." Tyson was enraged but he had keep calm. Mary's father was the richest man in the city while his family
Leonard had a calm expression on his face, he was even checking the time on his wristwatch occasionally. "Punk, you still act arrogantly when you are just nothing!" Jordan barked furiously at him. Leonard just kept mute and stared at him with an amused look. In his eyes, Jordan resembled a loosed dog barking at strangers. "Leonard, if you kneel and kowtow to me I will let you off for insulting me or my friends or else I will beat up to a pulp, strip you naked and make you dance for us!" Tyson said rolling up his sleeves. Everyone was well aware of Tyson's tyrannical behavior. He was muscular due to frequent visits to the gym. He also threatening to strip Leonard naked seemed to arouse a tinge of interest in the ladies for Leonard had a good figure and it would be entertaining to watch. Meanwhile, Leonard was just a tall and slim man. Tyson felt that he could definitely break Leonard's limbs without difficulty. "I'm sure you're only here to beg Miss Mary for money and stripping yo
The man who had tried to harm them was clearly an assassin. Leonard had felt a deadly aura around them and immediately a masked man dressed in black appeared, holding a dagger towards Clementine's neck. However, Leonard's moves were swift. Using his legs, he kicked the masked man. If it were an ordinary person, the mighty kick Leonard gave would have injured his internal organs but this assassin was strong. He staggered backwards without falling to the ground. He was enraged. All this happened in a matter of just five seconds. Clementine was too wary to notice that Leonard was protecting them because the street lights were cut off and the whole place was covered with darkness. Leonard made sure he shielded them and pursued the man, when he saw Clementine drive speedily away, he was relieved. "Who are you?" The masked man asked. This punk just came out of nowhere and ruined his plans. He was enraged! Leonard stared at him with a menacing gaze, his aura exuding from the murderous
Mary and Leonard spun around. Immediately Mary's eyes landed on the owner of the voice, her face darkened. "What are you doing here?!" Mary inquired with an angry expression. It was obvious that whoever stopped them from walking into the restaurant was in her bad books. A young, tall handsome man in his 20's was staring at them with a jealous gaze. Jordan was beside him. "Punk, what are you doing with her?!" He inquired arrogantly, jealousy evident in his voice. Leonard took a glance at him and turned his face away indifferently. He wasn't worth Leonard's interest. The young man was angered by Leonard's nonchalant attitude. "Nicholas, you have no right to ask my guest that question," Mary said angrily. Mary subconsciously slipped her hand unto Leonard's, making him look at her with a surprised gaze. Feeling Leonard's gaze on her, she looked up at him with pleading look and Leonard nodded understandingly. It seems the young man has been pestering her and she wanted Leonard to
Mary had invited Leonard over for lunch with some of her schoolmates from the University and also as an apology treat for what had happened last night. So, when Nicholas had arrived, Mary's mood was ruined and she hoped to get back her glow while catching up with her friends and so she faked a smile and took Leonard to a private booth. "Oh! Look Mary has finally arrived!" A feminine voice chimed excitedly. Mary walked in, exchanging pleasantries with them. No one noticed Leonard who was behind Mary as they merely thought that he was her bodyguard. They were ten in number, dressed in expensive wears. "Everyone meet Leonard. He's a friend," Mary said happily, pushing Leonard forward. While Mary took her time to introduce Leonard to everyone, they were sizing him up with disdain in their eyes. Meanwhile, Leonard stared at them with peculiar gazes. He actually knew few of these people. Some were his classmates from high school. Leonard noticed their stares filled with disgust an
"You don't have to leave because of such petty matters. I will get a waitress to bring a chair for him," Emily said. Collins shot Emily a glare, then said to Mary smilingly, " Mary, you don't have to leave, okay?" Mary inhaled sharply and sat down, staring at Leonard with an apologetic look. She brought him here to have a good time but instead he was getting humiliated. Few minutes later, a waitress came in with a chair and Leonard sat down. "So what are you doing now Leonard?" Emily asked, trying to strike a conversation. Leonard opened his mouth to reply but Collins interrupted. "I heard that he got married to one of the beauties in the city as a live-in husband." " You are married?!" Emily gasped with surprise, staring at Mary. "Yes, I was. But, we got divorced," Leonard replied with a faint smile. " Hmph, maybe she divorced you after finding out of your scandal," Collins said taking a spoonful of his rice. The rest bursts into laughter. Mary pursed her mouth but Leonard
One of the burly men stretched out his hand to grab Mary and bring her over to Nicholas.Leonard stared at him with a knife piercing murderous intent in his eyes making the man shudder in fear."Try touching her and see," He threatened.Nicholas scoffed and sneered, " Still trying to be arrogant. Matthew, bring that girl over to me and I will increase your bonus by 2%."Hearing that Nicholas had offered to raise his bonus by 2% made him gain more courage.With a fierce look on his face, he reached out again to grab Mary but with a lightning-like speed, Leonard grabbed his hand and gave it a tight squeeze.Sounds of bones breaking filled the air and Matthew let out a blood curling scream making Nicholas go pale. Leonard had obviously broken his wrist!"Ah!""Let go of me punk!" He cried, his face pale as sheet.He hadn't felt such pain in years.Leonard stared at him with calm and relaxed expression and pushed him away making him land several metres away from them.Leonard hadn't used h
Brooklyn. Clusters of Villas stood elegantly with a majestic view on the outskirts of the city. Inside one of such beautiful Villas stood a middle-aged man in a study room. The room was filled with his strong overwhelming and domineering aura making his subordinates in the room to shiver with fear. His facial appearance revealed that he was Italian. His face was characterized by a strong jawline, prominent cheekbones, and dark eyes which dilated within their sockets with rage in them. His full lips and thick eyebrows framed his darkened face nicely. His waist long blond hair was packed into a ponytail behind his hand. Bang! He stared at his subordinates with a stern look on his face and said, "Where's my son?" His men shivered with fright exchanging glances with each other. The Italian man clenched his fist and hit the table furiously. "When I ask a question you answer me!" He took out his gun and pulled the trigger sending a bullet into one of them. The size on a pinhole a
Unknown to them, Leonard had seen their gestures and as soon as their eyes met, Justin couldn’t help but turn his gaze away, intimidated by his sharp gaze. At a dark corner, a man stared at Leonard with interest as he sipped his drink.…New YorkKeith had been introduced to Bella who granted him audience. “Miss Hadid, I have come here to see for your help as I can see that you are the only one who can help me.”Bella had switched to professional mode instantly and looked up Keith and said, “What kind of help would a model offer to an influential man like you?” “Miss, I am sure you must have gotten information about our ongoing projects from your agency already and I will like to collaborate with you to help my company.”“There are other A-list models in New York, Mr. McDonald. Why did you decide to come to me?”Keith inhaled sharply and responded. “I didn’t think that they will be fit enough to battle with our competitors.”“The Maldivians” Bella said with a small smile. “They are yo
Harry’s eyes widened in shock. He was shaking terribly. If Leonard wanted, he could wipe out the Hades family in seconds and now his foolish daughter had probably gotten him angry.The guests were confused at Harry’s disheveled posture. They glanced at Leonard, some of the guests remembered who had met him outside recognized him.“He was the one who said he trampled down on the Hades family and destroy them in seconds,” One of them said to her friend.“Such audacity! He doesn’t even look like a rich scion; he looks like an ordinary man to me. I’m very sure Mr. Hades is going to teach him a big lesson.”“But he has a gold card and can’t you see how slightly bent Mr. Hades is.”“Why would he be covered in sweat?”The guests bean to murmur, wondering who exactly Leonard was to make Harry so visibly frightened. One of the heads of the four great families was scared of a man? Then his identity definitely wasn’t going to be simple.Vanessa stood at one section of the hall, listening to the
Everyone gasped in shock.Leonard actually rejected Agnes. Agnes was really pretty and had right proportions in the right places; her skin was as white as snow and also flawless. She had the height and looks to pose for a model but she opted to working for her father in the company. Many men will die to have her but Leonard had rejected her instantly. Roman also thought Leonard to be stupid for rejecting the young miss in that manner, but he couldn’t swallow the fact that his woman had taken the initiative to ask him out. Once again, Leonard had the attention of the woman he wanted.Agnes stared at Leonard’s disappearing figure and felt humiliated. No one has ever rejected her in such a manner, making her feel so insignificant. This action from Leonard even made more interested in him so she went in, completely forgetting about Roman who had no invitation and was merely tagging alone.…Inside, Leonard found a spot away from the crowd and sat down. He spotted Justin and the other head
“Go on, apologize to her,” Roman ordered.“You seem to have forgotten how you were chased out of Amanda’s party and humiliated. Do you want another dose of that?” Leonard said with a sinister smile.“You…” Roman was furious. He didn’t expect Leonard to bring that up in front of Agnes. “If anyone is meant to be thrown out, then it will be you! Agnes, don’t even bother letting him in. Order your guards to throw him out and break a few bones as well for insulting your family.”“Gladly,” Agnes sneered, motioning at her bodyguards to throw him out.Roman searched Leonard’s face to see any trace of fear but he saw none. He couldn’t help but sneer.Still trying to act tough!Agnes’ bodyguards were heavily bodied compared to the slim-looking Leonard. They were so trained from renowned boxing rings in the world and were professionals in martial arts.Leonard narrowed his eyes as they approached him. He wasn’t in for this, all he wanted was to go in but Roman had decided to cause trouble for hi
“Leonard, you must apologize to my fiancée immediately,” Roman sneered, his eyes narrowing. Back then, he had known Leonard wasn’t an ordinary person but that was in New York, he wouldn’t have that power in Oklahoma after all Amanda and Mary were not here to save him.The lady looked up at Roman, “You know him?” “Yes. Back in New York, he had caused a lot of trouble for me. But that doesn’t matter; he must apologize for almost running your dress. I promise you that Agnes.”Agnes glanced at Leonard. Her eyes were clearly filled with scorn as she stared at Leonard’s wears. He was dressed rather shabby, dressed in a brown leather jacket and a dark wash jean trouser.What can of man would dress so shabby to a party filled with distinguished guests? He looks so ordinary. I won’t wear this dress anymore. It has been stained!Leonard sighed and said, “If you look at me, you bumped into me and I have no reason to apologize to you because your dress isn’t ruined in any way.”“How
7pm,Oklahoma.“Mr. Leonard,” Gabriel said with courtesy as he opened the door of the car for him. Leonard nodded a greeting and they drove out of the estate.“From the invite, I’m sure you already know the venue of the party. Mr. Justin had thrown the party to celebrate his granddaughter’s graduation from college.”“So we are going for prom?” Leonard asked.Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not really. Justin’s family is one of the four great families of the city; the party is trying to bring the families under one room to discuss the impending danger and also to introduce his daughter to the business circle.”Leonard nodded at Gabriel’s explanation. The four great families of Oklahoma City comprises of: The Davison, The Hades, The Brighton and The Wades, Justin’s family.The recent attack has been on the Hades and the remaining two families were also attacked by the same person. There was a high possibility of an attack on the Wades which might even happen during the party.“The
“Leo?” Keith called out, comporting him. “I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.” “I apologize for not calling earlier.” “Leo, you don’t have to apologize to me for anything. I understand that you will be quite busy there,” Keith said with a smile.“I saw the news.” Keith went silent. In fact, it was everywhere. He had already contacted some media houses to pull it down or he would sue them. Not hearing a word from him, Leonard said, “You are a brave man, Keith. For coming out to face the public and protecting your son. My company is in good hands.”Keith went cold at the mention of the company. If all things don’t go as planned, e would lose his seat and who knows what action the board will take. If he loses the seat, Leonard would be removed as the chairman. No, he won’t let that happen.“Keith, is there anything wrong happening in the company? If you need my help do not hesitate to ask for it.”“Don’t worry Leonard. Everything is under control, we are just waiting for your r
All the while Keith was on phone with Seth; Marilyn was attending to the reporters so no one took notice of him. Keith stared at her with disgust on his face. This time she truly went too far.He glanced at the board members who were staring at him and he sighed deeply. “My son will like to speak to his mother,” Keith announced.Marilyn looked at him with amazement as well as the reporters. “I thought he said he was never going to talk to me again.”“Well, if you know he said that, why did you put on this show? You are embarrassing his father publicly!” Keith fumed. “But I’m also his mother!”Keith ignored her words and stared at Seth on the phone. “Are you ready now, son?”Seth nodded. “I will do anything to kick that woman out of our lives.”Keith turned his phone screen in such a way that it would face the ground.“My name is Seth Donald and I am Keith’s son. That woman over there is not my mother.”Marilyn immediately went closer to Keith in an attempt to grab the phone but Keith w
Wills Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma.The plane arrived at the airport and passengers streamed out. Leonard walked out the airport and spotted a black car waiting for him. A man dressed in black suit walked up towards him with a mysterious air excluding from him.“Welcome to Oklahoma city, Leonard. I’m Gabriel Pierce.”…The car drove through the city of Oklahoma with silence. Leonard stared at his phone and saw 5 missed calls from his parents and he couldn’t help but smile. Once, he’s done with this mission and he was sure that there were no impending danger; he will take them both out for a family vacation.He sighed deeply and tired.“I’m taking you to house we have prepared for you. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow evening for the party. Everything you will need to know about the family is in this flash drive,” Gabriel said, giving him a purse containing the drive.Leonard nodded, not seeing a word, feeling Gabriel’s eyes on hi. At this point, her still couldn’t let his guard down.
