Leonard had a grin expression on his face while he played with a tennis ball on the table. "Cordelia will definitely tell her sister and she might tell that bast*rd as well. They will definitely pose a threat to me in the future." The first day Leonard saw Martin, he knew he wasn't a simple person. He hated the fact that the woman who he loved wholeheartedly will leave him just for the sake of wealth. Thinking about Trisha's father who had shown him nothing but kindness, he couldn't help but sigh. 'I'm so sorry uncle but they brought it upon themselves. For your sake, I wouldn't avenge but if they try to mess with me I won't have any choice.' "Hello Diana, come pick me up." Adjusting his suit, he stood up and left the office. Taking his private elevator, he left the company. Some of his female employees were already drooling at his sight but Leonard didn't pay heed to their advances. A black Mercedes Benz was waiting for him outside. "Good day Leonard," Diana greeted when he
9 am. A Rolls Royce Phantom drove into the Marshall's company. Leonard came out looking very different. His aura was domineering. Meanwhile, inside the company a commotion was happening. "Where is that useless boss of yours?!" Martin yelled at the receptionist. She flinched. "He hasn't arrived yet." Martin snorted. "He hasn't arrived yet? Is he even worth handling a company? What's the time? By the way, who made him the president of this company?" The receptionist swallowed, trembling with fear as Martin bombarded her with questions. "Answer my questions! Do you know who I am?! If you don't give that your despicable boss of yours a call to run down here and lick my feet like a dog, I'll tear down this company!""Sir, please calm down. You're creating a scene here," The receptionist said, trying to calm him down. Parr! A resounding slap was sent to the receptionist's face which gave a red mark on her delicate skin. "How dare you speak to me in that manner? Do you know who I
Thud! "Ma…Master!" Sweat broke out on Charles's forehead, his legs trembled so badly that he was forced to kneel, shocking everyone. Leonard immediately glared at him which shut him up instantly. It was then that Leonard realised that Charles was part of the dark dragon due to his reaction. Martin stared at his father in shock. So were the employees and Trisha, as well as Cordelia. 'The Almighty Charles Luther fell to his knees at the sight of Leonard!' 'Who really is Leonard?' 'He's definitely not an ordinary person!' "Dad?! What are you doing? You shouldn't be kneeling to a rifraf like Leonard. He's just a common live-in son-in-law who doesn't even know how to keep a woman," Martin said, embrassed hat his father had brought himself low in public. Charles's face turned red in anger and he stood up and gave Martin a slap! "Martin, didn't I teach you how to behave in front of elders?" Charles fired at his son, his eyes red in anger but fear were evident in his eyes. Martin he
At The Stones' Home. Trisha and Cordelia stepped into the house with long and downcasted faces. Lauren, their mother was in the living room watching TV when they entered. She noticed the sad mood of her daughters. "Trisha, Cordelia, what's wrong with the both of you?" She asked. Trisha fell on the cushion beside her and Cordelia did the same. "Mom, I got sacked," Cordelia sighed deeply. Lauren's eyes widened with surprise. "You… you got sacked why?!" "Mom," Trisha called. "Not only that, Leonard is the owner of the company Cordelia works for." " Huh?" Lauren mouthed with disbelief. " And he was the one who sacked Cordelia? That good-for-nothing?" Trisha nodded. " If I didn't see him with my own eyes, I wouldn't had believed it also." She went further to tell her about how she had brought Martin to Leonard's company to humiliate him but ended up involving his father. When his father came, he fell to his knees trembling at the sight of Leonard. Lauren's expression was changin
Marshall's Corporation. Leonard had taken over Miles Corporation barely a week ago and he ordered that the name be changed to Marshall's Corporation which was carried out according to his orders. Right now, he was going through some files in his office. Coincidentally, he found Herman's file. The cooperation between their companies wasn't cut off by him but by the former president, Connor, because of some business strategy developed by him. Meanwhile, Herman drove into the parking lot and walked out of his car towards the doors of the company not bothering to wait for Trisha. He walked arrogantly to the front desk, Trisha coming in behind him. "Where's that good-for-nothing fellow Leonard?" He asked. Ashley raised her brows at the insulting tone of Herman, but she still had to be polite. "Do you have an appointment?" She asked with smile. Herman narrowed his eyes. " Do I still need to have an appointment before I see my nephew in-law?" Nephew in-law? Ashley was surprised. Ev
Leonard sneered with a ruthless look on his face. "Pull down this whole place you say? I haven't seen someone who comes to plead with another using a threatening tone." "You…" Herman went red with anger. Leonard was definitely getting out of control just because he finally had him in his hands. "Leonard, stop talking to uncle Herman in that manner. He's an elder." Leonard looked at them with a calm expression and said coldly. "Leave before I ask the security to chase you out!" Herman pointed furiously at him with his finger. " You will regret this Leonard!" With that, he stomped off angrily with Trisha walking behind. "Did I ask you to leave?!" Trisha stopped abruptly in her steps and spun around. Leonard thrusted his hands into his pockets and walked towards her. "I never told you to leave. You slapped my receptionist and you think you can leave just like that. You have to apologize to her for your unruly behavior. Ashley!" Ashley was stunned and she slowly took steps toward
"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
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.
