The Heir's Redemption; Leonid Triumphs Over wealth CHAPTER 13
Leonid glanced at the scorpion with a hard look on his face. No matter what they did to him, he was never going to divorce Amelia. She was the second woman who had taken care of him in the whole world when nobody loved him. He could not betray her by letting her go for no reason. Even though he was staring death in the face, he was never going to do it.Leonid was still quiet because if he dared say a word, the knife was going to go right into his skin. Scorpion retrieved the knife and wiped the part that had touched Leonid."You are scared of talking because of the knife.""No," Leonid said."Are you going to sign the papers now in peace, or will my men play with you before you agree?""I am not signing the papers," Leonid stated firmly.Scorpion studied him for a moment before putting the knife under Leonid's jaw and raising his face with it."Still brave in the face of death?"There was no response from Leonid. Scorpion couldn't read the reaction on Leonid's face either."I ask you

The men stared at Leonid like he was crazy. After all that they had told him, he still stood his ground and refused to sign. X2X smiled and picked up the baseball bat. He raised it up and attempted to slap it on Leonid’s head. "You will kill him that way," Scorpion said. "Hit him little by little; he would have no choice but to answer." X2X dropped the baseball bat; he held the rubber glove in his hand and snapped it with a menacing grin. The sound of the snap echoed in the air, chilling anticipation of what was to come. Leonid's heart pounded louder, and his breath was ragged as he stood there, determined yet terrified. He knew he was trapped, cornered by circumstances he couldn't control. But he couldn't let them break him. He couldn't let them force him into a decision that he knew was wrong. As the rubber glove was pulled onto X2X's hand, Leonid's gaze hardened. He met the man's eyes, a defiant glint burning within his own. He wouldn't allow them to strip away his dignity, no m

The new arrivals flooded in, their presence commanding attention. The leader of the group, a tall figure with a leather-clad form, stepped forward. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the scene of turmoil and violence. His gaze locked onto Leonid's battered form, and a flicker of concern crossed his features.The room fell into an uneasy silence as the newcomers sized up the situation. X2X, X3X, and Scorpion stood frozen, their earlier confidence evaporated in the face of this unexpected turn of events.The leader's voice cut through the tension like a blade. "That's enough."His command was met with a swift response from his companions. The other riders moved with practiced precision, positioning themselves between the tormentors and Leonid. They emanated an aura of authority, of individuals who were accustomed to taking control.Leonid, his body battered and his spirit weary, couldn't believe his eyes. A glimmer of hope ignited within him, a chance for salvation that he had never a

"No master! We have the right person. The leader claimedLeonid stared at them, confusion written all over his face. He does not belong to any powerful family to be called a young master. Leonid shrugged his shoulders and forced himself not to laugh."It can’t be me; maybe I am your young master; do we look alike?"The leader's head was still bowed when he responded. "We are sure of whom we are talking to. Come with us; we will take you to the hospital. You are bleeding."Leonid wanted to argue with them, but he suddenly remembered his wife. His eyes shot up, and concern swept through his face. He tried to move away from them to find his wife, but pain shot through him."Young master." The leader called. "If you are thinking about your wife, the rest of our men have driven her home by now.""By now?" Leonid asked. "Who are you guys, and how do you know my home?"The leader shrugged his shoulders. "I am Reaper; he is Anger; and this other one is Saint. Reaper introduced.Leonid could n

The men had rescued her and dropped her off. She tried asking them to save her husband, but they said no word to her and drove off. They had not dropped her off at her home but at her parents. She then realized the men did not actually save her but released her because Leonid had already signed the divorce papers. Her heart grew heavy as she walked toward their building.She wondered if her parents were the ones who had done that. There was no one else who would kidnap Leonid, beat him, and ask him to sign divorce papers. She reached the front door and, pushing it open, entered. The house was quiet; there was no one at home. Just as she was about to go upstairs to look for them, a car horn sounded outside, and her mother's voice filled the atmosphere.“There’s no way Leonid is going to reject signing the papers,” her mother said.Her dad chuckled. “Ethan had a nice plan. He made sure Amelia was drunk, and we took her home. When she woke up, the papers were already signed.”“We will ma

Her face turned red; the fact that he had just called her that, even though he knew she signed the papers, made her smile. "Are you alright?" She asked, even though he had said he was. She glanced at her parents; they were looking at her, including Ethan. She knew they might go after Leonid if she let them know it was him. "I will be in the office at 10. Wait for me in my office." She said. "Amelia, are you alright? Leonid asked, and concern was written in his voice. "Yes," she answered. "What happened? Why are you acting like you are in a place you can’t talk freely?" "I can't; I can’t show up at 9:30. I will call you back by 10; I have to get ready." Before Leonid could respond, she ended the call. "Thank you for unfreezing my account; I am going to the office now." She informed them. Her parents glanced at her like they had just seen a ghost. "Forgetting him so soon? Ethan asked. She glared at him. "I am ready to look hot to find a new date that is not you." Before anyo

Shelby Vanderbilt stood still, his gaze solely focused on his son, who was staring at him with much hatred in his eyes. Shelby knew his boy always looked at him with so much love and happiness in his eyes, but everything was the opposite now."Leonid, where are you?" His mother’s voice rang through the phone's speakers.Leonid glanced at the phone and ended the call. He glanced back at his father. Shelby had no expression; it was as if he were plain. Leonid got up slowly from the bed, and the phone dropped from his hand onto the bed. His legs came into contact with the floor, and he walked towards his father. His father still stood as Leonid approached him. Leonid's teeth clenched in order to control his anger and not attack his father like a raging bull.His father opened his arms wide as Leonid approached him, ready for the hug."Aren’t you going to give your father a hug?" Shelby asked. "I have missed you so much, Phoenix."A fist went flying in the air and hit Shelby in the face b
The Heir's Redemption; Leonid Triumphs Over wealth CHAPTER 20
"How was it their fault?" Leonid asked.Shelby took a deep breath. "I don’t know if you will believe me, but...""Just go straight to the point!" Leonid yelled."Okay…okay… The Harringtons were the ones who ruined me.""Harrington’s? My wife’s family?"Shelby nodded. "Yes, Amelia’s father was my best friend. He was the one who took the money and ran away; he ran out of the country, but I am sure he knows you are the child he ruined, or maybe not. But he knows my name, and it is also linked to you."Leonid's eyes widened; he could not believe what his father was saying. After all these years, he had been holding grudges and building up hatred for his father. It turns out it was not his dad’s fault at all; his dad had only wanted well for them. He felt like the stupidest person alive; he hated the person who cared for him and married into the family that ruined his own family. He wondered if Amelia knew about it too. Did she marry him because she felt guilty for what her family had done

"Daddy?” Lorelei placed a finger on her chin as she stared at Leonid, who was already squatting to the height of his daughter, who was hugging his legs. “Is Daddy back?” Leonard asked as he jumped off the chair in which he was sitting and hurried to the door. Amelia froze on the stairs but shrugged it off. “Stop calling the delivery man your father, Iona. Don't you know what your father looks like?” “Mom, it's really Dad.” Leonard muttered as soon as his eyes landed on Leonid. Leonid was now squatting in front of Iona, who touched his nose with her tiny finger. “Daddy is really handsome in person, Mommy; you have a great taste." “What is your name?” Leonid inquired. “Iona Francesca Giada Vanderbilt.” She replied. “Just call me Iona or Iona Vanderbilt.” “I know, right.” He ruffled her hair. He glanced at his other daughter, who was staring at him with curious eyes. As soon as their eyes met, she glanced away. “Are you really my dad?" Lorelei demanded. Leonard walked up to her
CHAPTER 152
Few months later.Leonid has left without saying a word, and since then, Amelia hasn't heard a word from him. She didn't even know how he left or when he did.Her bodyguards had stayed, but Viktor and Leonid left. She had grown to realize that he was just like his father, who leaves without saying goodbye or keeping in touch.Today was the day that she was being rushed over to the hospital. She was in labor; her husband wasn't by her side, and it hurts a lot.Her mother was back, and she stayed by her side alongside her mother-in-law. She was rushed into the delivery room while the woman stayed behind.Lilith paced to and fro as she waited for Amelia to give birth. As usual, Saint and Satan were standing along with them, but now there were four of them protecting her.After a few minutes, the doctor got out of the delivery room. He had a bright smile on his face, and as soon as the women saw him, They hurried towards the doctor.“How is my baby girl doing?” Her mother asked."Congratu

Amelia rolled in bed and picked up the book she was reading. “You are home?”“Yes,” he replied and went over to the bathroom.When he finished bathing, he dried his hair with a towel as he stepped out of the bathroom. He was already in his pajamas.Amelia lay on her back, the corner of her eyes following all of Leonid's movements. He walked towards the wardrobe and pulled it open.“Are you mad at me?” Amelia inquired. “I am sorry for going there without informing you. I just wanted to deal with her myself; she tried to hurt my baby, and I couldn't just let her get away.”She got off the bed and approached him. “Are you still mad at me?”He shook his head. “I am mad at you for going there and risking your life, but I am okay with the fact that you didn't go alone.”Amelia peered at him. It seemed that he didn't know that she abandoned Satan to drive the car.“It won't happen again,” Amelia assured him. “I won't risk my life anymore, and I have something to ask too.”“Don't try to chang

“I knew that we shouldn't have come with him!” Rose grunted as she aimed her gun at him. “Who told you to shoot all of them and leave us with none?”Satan was dumbfounded; it wasn't his fault they were too slow to shoot. Meira saw it as an opportunity to get away from them, so she began walking away.The direction of Rose and Amelia's gun shifted, and they glared at the woman who was trying to get away. They shot her on each of her legs, and she lost balance and fell over.“Who said you could leave?” Rose demanded as she walked over to Meira.Meira began crawling on the floor as she tried to get away. Rose loomed over Meira. Amelia tossed her gun to Satan, who caught it. He didn't want to waste any more time there, so he aimed the gun at Meira's head. Before anyone could stop him, he shot her in the head, startling Rose.Turning her head, she aimed the gun at Satan's head, her eyes darkening in fury. “How dare you kill her when she hasn't told you to do that?" She barked. “Death is an

He got outside the hotel only to bump into Saint on the way. Without glancing at Saint, he shoved him and headed for their car packed in the parking lot next to the restaurant.“Boss, wait up!” Saint yelled as he hurried after Leonid.As soon as Leonid hopped into the car, Saint managed to get into the car before Leonid slammed his legs on the pedal. He hastily reversed, throwing Saint off balance.Saint was still trying to slam the door shut when he fell over and hit his head against the seat. The car bumped into another car that was parked next to them, and the car alarm went off.“Boss.” Saint called, but Leonid was already out of the parking lot and already hitting the road.Satan held the seat as Leonid drove at full speed. Grabbing his phone, Leonid called Sean, who answered the phone on the first ring. He placed his phone on his leg, with it on the loudspeaker.“Track the location of Amelia Harrington Vanderbilt and feed the GPS into my car.”“On it, boss.” Sean replied.It did

The second man froze, realizing there was no escape. Saint calmly approached him, his expression unwavering.“Looking for someone?” Saint asked with a sly grin on his face.The man stammered, “I... I was just...”“Save the excuses. You're not leaving until you spill everything about the plan,” Saint demanded, his eyes piercing through the man.The man fell to his knees, his hands shivering. “I was only sent to kidnap your young miss and take her to a quiet warehouse where a woman would be waiting.”“Good boy.” Saint raised his legs and slammed his boot against the man's face.His nose broke, with blood spurting out of his nose. The man fell over on his back.“I will let you off this time.” Saint muttered as he headed for the door.The corners of his eyes were watching his sides. The man got up to his feet and began walking closer to Saint.“Thank you for letting me off.” The man muttered as he reached for the knife that he had on him.Saint came to a halt, his high senses coming in ha

The hours of the movie were long gone, and Leonid was cracking his knuckles as they made their way to their car. Amelia held an ice cream in her hand and was grinning from ear to ear.Rose and the S twins also held ice cream in their hands. Rose was eating hers, but those men were only looking at theirs.Handing both their ice creams to Rose, they gestured with their eyes for her to eat them too.“You could have just said that you didn't want it,” Rose told them.They couldn't; of course, Amelia didn't even ask them before she bought theirs, and it was going to be rude for them not to accept it.“Where are we having dinner next?” Amelia inquired as she glanced at Leonid. “You look pale.”He smiled at her; his appearance was already looking better after they left the cinema. The movie was too long but quite enjoyable.“I know a restaurant to take you.’’ He replied. “You also have to be alert; Hannah's father is going to drug us at the restaurant. You aren't going to eat a thing; I will
CHAPTER 146
“What was that? He wants Meira to kill me."Amelia demanded. “What about you letting him get me? I have to deal with one-hand girls by myself. I had been quiet earlier.”“You are pregnant,” Leonid reminded her. “You can't stress yourself too much, and I can't let her get to you.”Glancing back at Rose, Amelia nodded her head. Rose picked up a laptop that was next to her and began typing on it.“I know about that.” She turned her head to look at Leonid. “I can't just let them classify me as weak, and since they are after my husband too, I just can't let them get away with it.”“But…”“Meira has a one-sided love for Hannah, and they are only using her to get to you and me.”“I can't let you go. After our appointment with the doctor, we will have dinner at a restaurant and pretend to be drugged. Rose and Satan would send you home, and I will know what to do next.”“No,” Amelia shook her head. “What if it doesn't work out?”“Don't you trust me?”“I do, but..."“No one is going to take me
CHAPTER 145
“Dad, who the hell did you bring home?” Jade demanded. “Isn't that a fan of Hannah?”Terry crossed his legs as he took his seat. He looked away to avoid his son's question.“Why did you let her into the house? Why is her arm like that?”“A friend of Amelia Harrington broke her hand and left her poisoned by her own knife.”“And you brought her home?!” He bawled. “For what? She is useless to you if you want to set your daughter up with Leonid.”Terry shook his head. “She isn't.”“Then what? What can she do to help your plan?”“She can get rid of that woman.”“Who?”“She can get rid of Amelia Harrington.” Terry replied. “I just need to get Amelia alone, and it's all settled. She is just a weak woman, and it would be easier to kill her when she is alone.”Jade didn't look surprised at his father's words. “You want to take her husband and still want to kill her?”“Not only that. I have sent people to the asylum to get Hannah out. I am only going to know when they are going to go out for di
