Leonid stood up to his feet. "I will go get him along with Amelia."He held Amelia's hand and walked out of the living room. The outside was filled with guards like it had been; they made way in the middle for Leonid and Amelia to pass. A private jet was in the middle of the compound, and Shelby was just getting out of it.Lilith was not there with him; Leonid wondered where his mother was. He wondered why his father left his mother and came alone.Two bodyguards came out of the jet with Shelby and walked alongside him as they headed for Leonid, who was approaching him. Shelby had a smile on his face as he got to them. Leonid opened his arms wide to receive his father, but his father pushed his arms back and pulled Amelia into a tight hug."How have you been?" he asked.Amelia's eyes darted to Leonid. "I can't breathe."Shelby let go of her and glanced at Leonid. "I think a shake would be better."He grabbed Leonid by the hand and nudged him in the shoulder. "What about what I was cal
Leonid remembered that they had poisoned Yuri. Sean was right; if they didn't administer the antidote, he would die. Leonid glanced at Sean."Do you have the antidote?" he asked.Sean nodded gently. "Yes, I wouldn't poison someone without having the antidote.""Give it to him," Leonid ordered. "You might as well release Jonas in the process."Sean sighed. "I still think Jonas might cause enough trouble for us."Leonid guessed that too, but he was sure Yuri would take care of Jonas. Besides, he still had Jonas' sister, and they weren't going to do anything stupid.Even though they might do something to hurt him and Amelia, he was going to protect her again, like he had just done. There were a lot of people there to protect her.Viktor watched them. "Well, I think Jonas won't disturb us. We still have his sister, but the only problem is that he might come for her."Leonid glanced at Viktor. "I will only let her make her choices about who she wants to go with. If she chooses to go with h
"Aargh!" Amelia yelled as she tripped.Hannah smirked at her as she watched Amelia. The men were too quick; they sprang into action. Satan was the first to reach Amelia, catching and lifting her off her feet and carrying her in his arms.Staring down at Amelia's shock-stricken face, he demanded, "Are you alright, ma'am?"Amelia was still too shocked to speak; she couldn't believe that someone would try to hurt her and her baby."Ma'am?" Satan called.His concerned voice made her stare at him. Satan glared at Hannah; she had not only tried to kill Amelia and her child but had almost gotten all the men in the room killed too. Shelby would kill them if anything happened to the baby, not to mention anything happening to Amelia.Reaper, Anger, Viktor, and Saint appeared next to her. Each of them had a look of horror on their faces, but Viktor looked mad. Leonid was still unconscious, and he could have protected Amelia.All the men glared at Hannah at once. The dark aura surrounding them ma
l"Hannah what?" Amelia's curiosity peaked, and all Viktor did was try to keep her in suspense.Viktor tried to remember what happened that day clearly; he hadn't read the text well. He turned the laptop back to himself and read the part."She invited him to a luxurious party and let him wear the clothes he had. It was so embarrassing that he had to leave.""Didn't he know it was her doing?""No, he didn't. She was nowhere in sight. Let me brief this entire thing.""Okay.""Leonid fell in love with her in the space of one year. Pretty much, I might add. Hannah decided to make it a real relationship in the tenth month of their relationship. They no longer planned to cancel it anymore."Amelia rolled her eyes. "Thank God they did cancel it.""Why wouldn't they? He was only 17. Why would anyone get into a relationship at that age?" Viktor inquired, his irritation evident."At that age, I was only thinking about my grades," Amelia supported."They weren't dating for marriage; they were dat
When Leonid woke up, Viktor was still in the room with Amelia, and they were discussing. Leonid couldn't hear what they were saying because they were whispering. Getting out of bed, he moved closer to them.As soon as Viktor spotted Leonid, he gestured for Amelia, and they changed the topic. Leonid glanced down at his clothes to see that they were already changed.Amelia spun around to look at him. "You are awake, finally."Judging from the look on her face, Leonid knew that something had happened. "Did anything happen?"Amelia shook her head. "It's just that I almost lost our baby.""What do you mean? Are you alright?" Leonid panicked as he held her hand.Amelia smiled at him. "I am alright. I am just mad that you didn't tell me sooner about your ex.""What ex?" Leonid asked.Amelia frowned at him. "Don't tell me you don't remember her, the one who said, 'Our relationship was a bet.'"A frown appeared on Leonid's face. "You mean you met Hannah Bartram?""I did.""What did they do to
Hannah stormed her feet on the ground in an office but only cried out when it only hurt her feet. Her legs had been taken care of, and there was a bandage over her ankles.She was still mad about getting kicked out of Leonid's house. Who did they think they were? Even Leonid would not throw her out of his own house.His so-called brother had the guts to tell her what to do, and now her family was getting sued because of that bitch. It was all Amelia Harrington Vanderbilt's fault.Hannah had no idea that she was a Harrington, and now even the Harringtons are suing her family. The Harringtons were better off than her own family. They could do anything to her family, but the strongest force of attack was coming from Leonid.She scattered her hair, murmuring to herself. I was wondering when Leonid got so powerful. He used to be poor trash that she played with. His feelings were just a game to her, and she cared less about them.She wanted to see him again; she wanted to see the way he wou
Leonid helped Amelia put on her flat shoes. Ever since she was pregnant, her shoes had been switched to flat ones. A smile appeared on Leonid's face; she knew how to take care of a baby well.He helped Amelia up the bed, and she reached for her bag, but he picked it up before her and held it."I can carry the bag," Amelia purred."I know, but you don't have to do much when pregnant, and I don't want you to consume alcohol anymore.""What should I take if not alcohol?" Amelia pouted."Milk.""I hate milk.""It's good for the baby; the baby doesn't hate it.""Don't tell me the time to eat too.""Don't eat junk; it would make you fat."Amelia rolled her eyes at him. "I don't eat junk; I don't like them."Leonid smiled. "I have changed all your drinks at your company to milk. You can ask your PA to warm it up for you if you need it hot. For lunch, you will have veggies and proteins; the more you eat, the more it helps the baby."She arched a brow at him. "When did you learn about babies?"
"The guards will send her off. She can't do anything to you as long as I am keeping watch." Leonid assured.Amelia smiled at him. "I trust you." She had other plans of her own, and Rose was helping her out.If Leonid hadn't refused Hannah's offer for dinner, she would have gone. Rose had informed her about Hannah's plans, and it was easy for her to follow them through."What about having lunch together? I will pick you up." Leonid suggested."That would be great." She stared at her phone screen. "I have to reply to this text.''They said nothing to each other as the ride continued. Amelia was on the phone texting someone; Leonid didn't want to disturb her. She seemed focused on the discussion as if her life depended on it.Her fingers were moving at lightning speed as she replied to the message. Leonid guessed it was an important message that she needed to reply to too.Soon they were in front of her company, and Chloe was already there waiting for Amelia. As soon as the car came to a
