At this moment, Leonard was furious. He didn't expect Trisha to find out his whereabouts. Now, the little peace he was enjoying will soon be gone!After exhaling deeply, he barely suppressed his anger. Maintaining his composure, he drove his jaguar towards Benson's Villa.He didn't expect them to try such a stunt. Abducting a young woman because of lust. That's outrageous.Who knows how many other women have had their bodies tinted and ruined by them?He won't let them off this time around. Justice must be served! …In Benson's main residence.The Benson's helmsman, Benjamin Benson was being coaxed by two young ladies in their early 20's in the living room.He was clearly enjoying their company as he was all filled with smiles.Benjamin was about to take them upstairs into his room before he heard loud banging, clattering, and some shrieks from downstairs. He looked at the ladies and gestured for them to go upstairs and they obediently did.He took two of his heavily built bodyguard
She had lost all hopes, tears flowed freely down her already reddened face. She cringed under his filthy touch. Bang! The door was kicked open. "What the hell!?!" Ray yelled, jumping off the bed in fright. There stood Leonard in the doorway staring at Clementine who was crying softly. His eyes were filled with anger, seeing how helplessly she laid naked on the bed. He slowly glanced towards Ray who was only wearing his underwear. "How did you get in here?! What happened to the bodyguards? Guards!!" Ray yelled, the veins of his forehead and neck were throbbing. "There's no need for you to yell. They are all done," Leonard said, taking slow steps towards him. "Leonard?" Clementine muttered in surprise on opening her eyes. Ray walked backwards, staring at Leonard with fear in his eyes. Leonard had beaten all their guards? Does that mean he had also beaten up his father and brother? What would happen to him now? He looked towards Clementine and rushed towards her, holding out
As Leonard drove back home after dropping Clementine off at her place and making sure she was safe, he thought about Trisha's visit and the threat surrounding Mary's life.Since Trisha had found out about where he lives, he was sure that the rest of her family won't let him be, so he decided to get a house close to where Mary was, to protect her and also to be away from Trisha and her family. His mission was more important now and he didn't want to mess it up. He had already been declared bankrupt, although it was a lie. He can never become bankrupt in this lifetime, so he wondered what they still wanted from him.Fairfield was a luxury that poor and bankrupt people couldn't afford to keep. Staying there will only prove to them that he was still rich. His mind suddenly thought of someone.Keith.Keith was the only friend he had made throughout the three rough years of his life. He had stood up for him at Celine's Café when John Kennedy had fired him.Leonard had invited him to work
"I–I, uh… I came to see you both. Keith, I'm really sorry I left you both all alone. I was scared. I didn't want to see Liam die," the woman said, bursting into another round of tears.Keith stared at her as she shed tears with disgust on his face."We both know that's a lie! You left before Liam was even diagnosed with a disease. You always insulted me for being useless. You think I don't know that you now have a rich boyfriend. Haha, Marissa, I never knew you were such a slut!" Keith barked at her furiously."Don't you dare call me that!" Marissa said, pointing at him angrily. "Yes, I left you because you were poor. I needed a good life but now I'm back. Ain't you happy to see me?" " No! Just leave, "Keith gestured towards the door.Marissa was enraged. She had come here to straighten things up with Keith but he was being stubborn." Keith, you can't chase me away from here! You can't! Liam is also my son and he needs his mother, " Marissa said persistently." Really?" Keith said w
Keith was dejected and felt miserable. What did he do to deserve such insults?He knew he was in the wrong when he stood in the way but he had already apologized. The rich will always find ways to rub their wealth on the less privileged. "Hey, you better get your ass out of here or else we will beat you up!" A guard said to him sternly, waving his baton. "No, you don't have to worry yourself. I will leave, " Keith spoke sadly. Taking one last look at the estate, he began to walk away.So much for coming over to see Leonard."Hey Keith!" A voice cried out behind him. Honk! Honk!Keith looked back and saw Leonard reversing his car."Keith, where are you going?" He asked with a raised brow. " Uh, I-I was going back to the hospital."Leonard furrowed his brows, staring at Keith intensely. " Why? Did something happen at the gate? Were you bullied?"Keith's eyes widened in surprise, and he spoke hastily, " No, no. Why would anyone bully me?"Did Leonard find out somehow? " Then get in
Lovable Legacy. Lovable Legacy is an antique store located in the center of the city. The smell and collections leaves patrons feeling nostalgic and full of memories. Known for its beautiful and luxurious collections, it is patronized by habitants in New York. Whether you're hunting for vintage jewelry, mid century furniture, or ancient Chinese/ Japan antiques, this shop is worth the visit. Leonard and Mary walked into the busy store with a little crowd in it. "Well, it seems the store is a little bit crowded than usual," Mary said with a chuckle. Leonard nodded in agreement. "It's almost time for Christmas." "Yeah. Will you be–" "Hello there, it's so nice to see you both here. I'm Davida, and I'm here to attend to your needs. What's your budget for today?" An attendant said with a wide smile, unknowingly interrupting Mary. "Uh, well," Mary said. "$15000. I think that's okay right?" She asked, looking at Leonard. "Your choice actually," he answered indifferently. "Alright
"Leonard, why would you say that the antique is fake?" Mary asked with a worried expression. She also had heard about Mr Daniels' reputation from her dad. He was known for being arrogant and ruthless since he had the backing of one the most powerful gangs in the city. "Because it's flawless," Leonard replied, picking up the huge part of the pieces and running his fingers on it. "Huh? Leonard, do you know what you're saying?" The patrons in the store were all laughing. "So he claims that an antique is fake because it's flawless. That's ridiculous!" "Didn't I say that he was just a poor man who wanted to come in here and feed his eyes? He definitely doesn't know anything about luxurious stuff." "So petty. This young lady is trying to save him but he's still talking. Tsk!" Mr Daniels angrily walked up to them. "So because an antique is flawless now means it's fake?" He asked with a raised brow. Leonard nodded. " But first before I explain what I mean, we need to prove that this
"Well, since it been proved that this woman is innocent, I will have to apologize ma'am. We weren't aware of the shrewd practices of our manager," Mr Daniels said to the woman. However, the woman was too immersed in thinking about how to thank Leonard to notice Mr Daniels apologetic gesture. Leonard had come like an angel and helped her when she was just a total stranger. There were indeed still good people in this world. "Mister, I really don't know how to appreciate you for what you've done for me. Here's my business card just Incase. Please don't hesitate to call me whenever you get the chance to," The woman said with a smile, handing him a small golden card. Leonard smiled and nodded, collecting it. "You don't have to thank me ma'am. It's always good to stand up for what's right." The woman smiled widely and looked at everyone with a 'thank you' gaze and left. Leonard turned the card in his hands over. "Oh my! She's the president of Megan Conglomerate. Miss Vanessa Bryant!"
