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

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.

Clementine Howard is Mary McKay's best friend and once had a drink with Leonard at Angel's Share. Leonard walked into the store and spotted Clementine speaking to one of her staff in a domineering tune. She looked more bossy here then when he had met her in Angel's share. "Hello Miss Howard," Leonard said with a faint smile. Clementine turned around and her face curved into a deep frown immediately her eyes met with his. "What do you want?" She asked in cold voice which made Leonard raise a brow in confusion. "Uhm, Mary told me you specialise in repairing broken jewelries so I brought mine here hoping you could help." "Fine. Stand over there and wait, I have to attend to other customers who wer

    Clementine was fully aware about the rumors circulating the city about Ray. It was said that he was a tyrant that forces every woman he fancied to his bed, ruining their lives. If they didn't satisfy him, he would have them killed. Those who did, ended up being his playthings forever and Clementine would never compromise herself. But, she was scared. She was just a weak woman surrounded by Ray, Tyson and his three bodyuards with bloodthirsty aura. If Ray wanted her, he could take liberties with her here and now and no one would hear her screams because the top floor was soundproof but she will be ruined so she still had to resist even though it would be of no use. Ray's smile faded as he stared at the stubborn woman before him who he thought did know any better. "Miss Howard, do you know that if you agree to become my woman, I will give you whatever you want, power, wealth, status. Name it?" He wanted to poach him with the things that most humans wouldn't resist. However, he se

Other women would give up anything to land in Ray's bed. Clementine stared at Leonard with tear filled eyes. He came at the right time to save her but if Ray apologizes, they will be in great danger. Now, she knew why that man and Leonard suddenly disappeared. He had saved them but she had misunderstood. This just changed her view about Leonard. "Leonard, please let it go. I'm alright, I don't need his apology." Leonard looked at her and nodded. Since she didn't want an apology, he wouldn't push it further. He glared at Ray and Tyson with a murderous intent in his eyes. "I'm letting you off on her account. But, if you dare to hurt her again, I won't be this merciful." Ray glared at him with clenched jaws and fist. He walked away at a hurried pace with his brother. He has just been embarrassed! The

Tyson gave him no reply. He already knew that he had to comply or what he had just suffered will be little to what Ray might do to him at the end. … "Dad," Ray greeted, stepping into his father's Villa with the pain-stricken Tyson behind him.

"What are you doing here?!" Collins said, glaring at Leonard. Emily sighed helplessly. Must he always find a way to embrass Leonard every time? "I invited him here. Is anything wrong?"
