“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
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
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
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
“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
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
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
"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
