However, Leonard shook his head. "No! I can't let him go." Emily's face dropped. " Why can't you let him go? Don't forget he's a Parker. If anything happens to him, they won't let you off." " Just because he's a Parker doesn't mean he should throw his weight around and threaten others! Just because he's a Packer doesn't mean he should look down on others as if they are not humans like him!" Leonard said aggressively. Emily was stunned. But, he was speaking the truth. Just because Collins came from a wealthy and influencial family doesn't mean he should look down on others who aren't fortunate like him. Leonard had always hated rich scions who threw their weight around with their family's influence and harm and ridiculed others. Emily was adamant. She wouldn't let Collins die or get crippled, if he did who would help her family out of their crisis? She stared at the frightened Collins and shaked her head in despair. "Collins, you brought this upon yourself. Just let him break you
Aquafina and Evans exchanged few words and numbers. Leonard stood patiently behind them. Collins felt so embrassed. Aquafina had just humiliated him by blatantly ignoring him even when he had took her the family he came from. "We will commence treatment soon, Leonard." "Alright," Leonard said to her. He glanced at Clementine and the others. "I will be leaving now, take care of yourselves." "Thank you so much, Mr Marshall," Evans said with a wide smile. Leonard smiled and nodded in reply before walking out with Amanda. Emily watched Leonard's retracting figure through the door and felt a huge hole within her heart. … Hello Leonard. Could you please meet up with me at Café Flor by 12 noon today? Thanks. Emily. … Leonard stared at the message with complicated emotions. He had so many things to speak to her about, so many questions to ask. Now, he's got his chance, he would just have to wait till noon. Taking a quick glance at his wristwatch, it was just 11am, so just a hou
Fairfield. The atmosphere in the study room was quite tensed as Leonard gave Aquafina and Diana layouts for their new mission in California. When Leonard was executing his last mission in Dark Dragon, two of his team members were with him, David and Max. David was dead while Max had been missing for the past three years. They have been searching for her as well as Leonard and now, they have finally gotten information about her whereabouts. Aquafina and Diana were both mandated to find out about his situation and bring her back. "Leonard, you have to place much attention on Miss McKay now. We won't be here for awhile but we will keep in touch," Aquafina said seriously. " Yes. Leonard, I suggest you talk to Mr McKay to let you work in his company. That way you will be closer to her, " Diana advised, staring at them both. Aquafina's eyes moved in their sockets for awhile before she spoke. "True. I second that." "Hmph," Leonard said, slipping his fingers into his dark silky hair. "
Early the following morning, at the entrance of the McKay's Corporation in the city center of New York… A black jaguar slowly pulled over at the entrance of the corporation. The door of the car opened and Leonard stepped out. "Hey, who are you? You're not allowed to park here. Please drive your car away to the parking lot!" A young man in a security uniform walked over and shouted at him hostilely. Leonard furrowed his brows, pointing at the other cars. "I'm not allowed to park here? What of those cars over there?" The young man stared at him with mocking gaze. " The owners of those cars are employees of this company. Of course they can park there." Seeing his simple and ordinary clothes, he said. " Besides, the McKay's Corporation isn't a place where any Tom, Dick and Harry can come to. So, I advise you take your cheap car and leave." Leonard narrowed his eyes at the arrogant security guard. He didn't even asked him why he was here. "What's going on here?!" A middle aged man wi
George looked at Miles' expensive Mercedes Benz S600 and said coldly, "It's seems like I have been lenient with my staff. Mary, go check up records regarding Mr Miles Miller, I'm sure he must have carried out some fraudulent activities in the company. Be sure to hand over his sack letter as well." George had seen Miles driving in different cars for the past one month but he decided not to pay attention but today, he had to. Thud! Miles went down on his knees, drenched in sweat all over. " Sir, please don't do this. I have a family to take care of, bills to pay please sir." Miles' heart pounded heavily against his chest. If records of his accounts were discovered, he would be in great trouble. He had been transferring money severally from the company's account into his own. He had also collected bribes from other employees. Also, if he gets sacked no one will hire him because he was already in his late 40's. He needed to pay the mortgage for his new house and the cars he bought.
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
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.
