"How do you wish to die?" Sylvester asked, sliding his hand into his pocket.Leonard narrowed his eyes at his movement."What about dying slowly? I want to see you in pain just the same way you have caused my master so much pain. You know, I admire you, but too bad we had to become enemies."Sylvester took out his gun and pointed the gun at Leonard. After witnessing Leonard's strength, Sylvester didn't want to waste any more time in wasting him.Going head-on with him will be fatal!Leonard stood upright, staring at him with menace, he said, "If you think that toy can destroy me, then you have to think again."Sylvester raised his brow.Why was he still acting arrogantly when he was held at gunpoint?"You think I'm joking right? Why don't I start from your legs then we will know whether I can destroy you with it or not."Sylvester was about to pull the trigger when Natasha suddenly held his hand."What is it?" Sylvester asked sharply."Sylvester, do you think shooting him is a bad idea
Leonard stared at the unmoving body of Sylvester, and then glanced at Natasha, who was still holding the gun with a relief on her face.She closed her eyes and inhaled the gentle wind blowing against her face. The rainfall had reduced to small droplets."So, what's next?" Leonard stared at her intensely. "What do you mean?"Natasha inhaled deeply and opened her eyes, glancing at him."They will still come after you but they will be more careful and you have to be one step ahead of them.""When will you tell me what I need to know?" Leonard raised a brow."I didn't think you were this impatient. We haven't achieved our goal yet so there's no need for me to tell you anything."With that, she walked away from him.…Two weeks later,6 am,Leonard's Villa.A soft knock came on Leonard's door. Leonard looked up from his almost cloth-filled box."Come in."The door was pushed open revealing Keith. He had black eye bags underneath his blue eyes, seemingly stressed. He was much more better a
"You ingrate! You left us to die in poverty while you enjoy yourself, isn't it?!" Lauren barked."You have forgotten that we actually took care of all your needs while you were with us. What did we do to deserve such ill treatment from you? Was it because we made you work and do our laundry?""There's nothing wrong in what we did. You are very selfish and wicked, Leonard. I gave my beautiful daughter to you in marriage but you forgot all about her.""You're selfish!"While Lauren kept ranting on and on, Trisha's eyes were on Mary. She felt a tinge of jealousy seeing how close she was to Leonard.Leonard narrowed his eyes at the both of them. He couldn't believe things had turned around.In the last three years, he had begging them for food and clothing. They had treated him like trash. Now, here they are, begging him the same way he had begged them.Leonard glanced at his wristwatch. He had just 40 mins left before he leaves for the airport.Lauren gave Trisha a slight push with her e
Silva flew in rage at Leonard with a clenched fist. Scorn was written clearly on his face.'I will show this punk what I'm made of and he will regret ever interfering in what doesn't concerns him.'Vanessa widened her eyes as the fist flew towards Leonard's face. "Watch out!"Leonard narrowed his eyes at the clenched fist without moving.The passengers stared at the scene with interest."Isn't he supposed to dogde the punch?""I pity him. That young man looks like a rich scion, he shouldn't have poke nosed into their business.""Don't pity him. He deserves it, trying to form a hero to a princess in distress without thinking. Look at what he's wearing, I wonder who even let him into the airport in the first place.""He's so poor that he wanted to save this woman who seems to be really rich.""Yeah, so he could get some change.""Hehe, now he's gonna get beaten!"Some of the passengers showed pity and concern while others treated him with scorn, seeing him as a con-artist trying to get
6 hours later,Los Angeles, California.A white plane approaches the runway, the plane begins to decrease it's velocity as it's starts to descend towards the runway.…Leonard steps down from the plane. Closing his eyes, he inhaled the gentle breeze of California.Memories of his life here flashed in his mind. He was finally home."Young master," A voice said beside him.Leonard opened his eyes and glanced towards the direction of the voice.Beside him stood an man in his late 50's, he was slightly bent respectfully as he greeted him.Leonard walked up to him and held him up. "Gregory, you don't have to bow respectfully when you see me. I'm old enough to be your son."Gregory smiled faintly, revealing his wrinkles. "It's expected of me to young master, you don't have to be so kind to a servant."Leonard smiled and shook his head. "Still as stubborn as ever.""You've really grown into a handsome man, young master. Your parents would be so surprised to see you," Gregory replied.Leonard
"We all thought you would never come back to us. Look how handsome you have become," his mother said to him, caressing his face with tenderness. "Catherine, Leonard needs to rest. Let him go upstairs for a shower then you can talk to him for as long as you want," Shadrach said with a faint smile. "True. Leonard, go have a shower. I will prepare your favourite meal for you. Your return calls for a celebration.' Leonard gave out a smile and ascended the stairs. Catherine wiped off a tear running down her cheek. "Shadrach, our son has changed. Didyou feel the incredible and intimidating aura he now carries?" Shadrach sighed and nodded, staring at the empty staircase. "I noticed it too. I wonder what happened to him in the prison all these years." … Leonard stepped out of the bathroom with a towel round his waist. Water dripped down from his well chiseled chest and arms to the carpet. He walked towards his phone on the bed and picked it up, punching in some digits, he dialed a num
Suddenly, in a split second, Victor's raised arm was pinned to the table.Victor looked up with shock. Leonard narrowed his eyes at him, fury and menace in them."You… You are back!" He cried out with surprise."Yes, I am back," Leonard replied curtly.Suddenly, the fear in Victor's eyes was replaced with contempt."And so what if you're back? They should have let you rot in the prison, you rapist. Let go of my hand, this minute!" He shouted.Leonard had a sly smirk on his face as he added pressure to his hold. "And what if I don't?" Sweat broke out on his forehead and back."Ahh! You won't want to meet my father!" He cried."Then, I will be glad," Leonard replied, adding pressure to one of the fingers and dislocated the joint."Ahh!" Victor let out a blood curdling scream."Leonard!" Shadrach stood up from his seat wide eyed, staring at the two men before him. "What did you just do?"Leonard looked up at his father. "He said, he will bring his father, isn't that what he said? And it
"Mom, Leonard has travelled out of the city. What do we do now?" Cordelia said to her mom as they walked home.Lauren stared at the pedestrian pathway thoughtfully, before glancing at the bag in her hand. "We will call him. As long as this bag is very important to him, there's no way he won't come for it.""And then we threaten him into giving us what we deserve! He can't just freeload off us and when he finally gets a good life, he decides to forget us.""Alright mom. That's a good idea. Leonard thinks that he can freeload off us and then disappear, he must take us for fools," Cordelia said with hatred in her eyes.Ever since she got sacked from Marshall's corporation, her life has been miserable. No one wanted to employ her because they will always want to know why she was sacked from such a reputable company.She couldn't find any suitable excuse to give so she was never offered any job. Now, she had been reduced from a company worker with a huge salary and benefits to a cleaner a
