Leo and Jessica stood unexpectedly close. Caught in a moment can't be described. Though they were in the waiting room of the hospital, it wasn't less than a beautiful and romantic garden as their eyes locked in a tender moment. There wasn't anyone to disturb them not even the hospital staff.The soft hum of the fluorescent lights overhead seemed to fade away as their hearts beat in unison.Just as Leo was about to take the initiative and their lips were about to meet in a loving kiss, the door burst open, and a sharp and furious voice echoed in that room. "You bloody bitch...!" For a second both were startled and stunned looking at the door from where that voice jolted them.An elegant high-society elder woman barged in."So it was you who did it...!" she continued.That woman exuded timeless grace and sophistication. She carried herself with regal poise, her posture impeccable, and her movements deliberate. Her silver hair, styled with meticulous care, framed a face that has aged
"Meet the only heir of the Longsfire Corporation," Except for Jessica's voice echoing deep into everyone's ears, the whole room was deserted right when Leo walked in, "Mr. Leonard Edward Connell."She introduced Leo as the long-lost son of her aunt, Helen, and the heir to her Empires and Properties.The waiting room turned into turmoil and silence eroded by a humm of shock as if there was a whirlwind that had lifted the surroundings in the air. All of them, who heard Jessica were now gaping at Leo and her in disbelief. Trying hard to assemble themselves back from the shock that what they heard was true.Leo grabbed Jessica's hand and clutched it tightly, if he didn't halt himself, his fingers were ready to make bloody marks on her wrist. He jerked her towards him, glaring at her face but before he could confront her, her eyes stopped him.Her beautiful eyes were begging him, begging him to continue, to help her just this once.He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. The silence
When the doctor called for Leo and he followed him inside the operation theater, the junior doctor asked Leo to wait near the lobby inside the operating room. It was exactly when everyone circled Jessica and him for confrontation. He was on the brink of telling them all the truth but he was saved when that doctor looked for him. It may also be a fate, a god's will not to expose Leo."Please stand here, gentleman, our chief wants to talk to you," that junior doctor said and walked away into one of the operating rooms. Leo nodded in agreement and stood in the lobby silently. Though out of that mess, his mind was still pacing on how to prove his identity as Helen's son not just because Jessica wanted him to, but because he had already read the minds of all those so-called relatives who claimed to be Helen's family. And to his astonishment, he couldn't find a single genuine concern in their minds, except for Jessica. He felt pity for that woman, there was nothing in this world that sh
"Make it done right now...!" Margaret demanded someone in her phone and a smirk tugged on Dorson's face. It was evident that there was something crooked going on, in their minds.Leo's identity hadn't been confirmed yet and he had already become the target of some dangerous plans. What else is he going to suffer as the only heir of that Longsfire Corporation?Jessica was bewildered when she heard the conversation between Margaret and her brother, talking about wiping out someone, but was that Leo or someone else, she wasn't sure about it completely for now.As the one living with them all these years, she has have strong belief that they might harm Helen again and her long-lost son was not so safe either.Dorson suddenly suspected that someone heard them talk and made his way toward the corridor wall but despite being in shock, Jessica scampered to hide herself properly. She had to be careful if she wanted to deal with scheming people like them.She just escaped getting caught but he
Margaret's heart sank as her plans failed. She saw police grabbing someone and dragging him out of Leo's room. They didn't make it public and never announced any kind of attack to not gain any extra attention. But Margaret knows it all. Why won't she, it was her arrangement after all.As the plan almost failed and that man was caught, Margaret looked at that man gritting in anger but to her surprise, the man gestured to her that he had completed his job.There was still a slight hope for her plan to be successful. She was relieved that it was finally done.And she was now sure that Leo might still be unconscious but...!When she got in, she found him not only conscious but more vibrant than ever. Where the hell did that poison go?That poison was not to kill him but it was enough to make one paralyzed. Margaret was relieved before, she thought she might get a chance to see the drama and followed Alvin into the room soon after him. She expected a scene where Leo might be lying on
The moon was shining bright in the sky when Margaret was standing behind a glass wall with a glass full of wine dancing in her hand. Her mind was still scheming but was at ease too."A deal...!" Dorson hissed, "Have you lost your mind, Margaret? How could you make a deal with that imposter? Why did you even stop me before exposing him?" Dorson slammed the glass in his hand on the table while turning red in anger. He knew that his sister was good at playing political games but he never expected that Margaret could do something so stupid. When he is about to expose Leo before everyone in the hospital, his sister stops him halfway. Though it irritated him, Dorson thought that Margaret might have a strong reason for stopping him. But when she revealed her mind, Dorson was frustrated. Margaret told him that she had made a deal with Leo, and just by listening to it Dorson's mind burst into anger."You better have a good reason before you explain your decision to me for stopping me," Dors
The Diamond Oracle company building stood as an architectural masterpiece, exuding elegance and sophistication in every aspect of its design. Nestled in the heart of a bustling city, it radiated an aura of exclusivity and success. The exterior was adorned with sleek, floor-to-ceiling windows that reflected the golden rays of the sun, creating a shimmering effect that caught the eye of passersby.This company deals with construction and development projects with not less than a hundred million of turnover each day yet the employees get paid so less. Inside this incredible company building, Leo, dressed as commonly as he could, stood tall clenching a letter of appointment in his hands. He trembled as just the thought of his past here swirled before his eyes.He wore a mask, and glanced at the sparkled view before him, showing his loathed existence in a place that was precisely not for him before. But things have changed. He was here, not as a mere janitor but as the only heir of the
Inside the office, Leo couldn't help but notice the glances and hushed whispers from the employees around him. He was wearing a simple T-shirt, not some branded tuxedo. Their gazes were full of disdain.The atmosphere seemed to have an uncomfortable tension. As he settled his legs inside that room completely, he could sense the disapproving gazes directed his way.In the heart of that luxurious office, the manager's cabin exuded an air of refined elegance and prestige.The spacious room, adorned with rich mahogany furnishings, boasted a harmonious blend of modern sophistication and timeless charm.He had worked at this place but had never seen this office so closely. One of the employees, a man with a sharp tongue, approached him with a critical expression. "Who the hell are you man...! Who let you in? Where do you think you are barging in?" he asked with a condescending tone. Leo took out the paper in his hands and extended it toward him. That man grabbed the paper and rolled his
