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
DEBT BURDEN "PAY YOUR DEBTS! Assholes, pay your debts." "Stop hiding in there!" "If you can't pay, give us a COLLATERAL!" "OPEN THE DOOR AND PAY YOUR DEBTS!" "PAY YOUR DEBTS!." "PAY YOUR DEBT… The front door was being banged and kicked with men screaming out their lungs. It was 12 am, midnight. He was just trying to sleep, no one was letting him. The banging had been going on for 3 hours, the men did not seem to go away. He covered his ears, pulling the blanket over his head. Tears began streaming down his face, he could not fully understand why the men knocked on their door every single night. "Daddy." He cried out. "Tell them to go away." Where was his Dad? He had not seen his Dad for a very long time. His Dad had promised never to leave him, his Dad had always been the one to tuck him into bed. To read him a story, to teach him how to write songs and play the piano. He missed his Dad. "Nid?" "Nid?" "Nid?" He pushed the cover aside when he heard the voice and glanced
SHIFTS. 20 Years Later. 2pm. The light was flickering on and off, the room was dark and bright at the same time. He wondered what was wrong with the lights, the light went out again before fully turning on. He raised his head to stare at the bulb, waiting for it to turn off again. He was not alone in the building, there were other people staying there with him. "Maybe he fixed it." He muttered, before picking up the laundry basket that had fallen off his hands. He bent, kneeling on the floor with one knee and gathering all the fallen clothes and putting them in the basket. The clothes were all white and he shouldn't have let them drop on the ground. He was glad he had not washed them yet, besides even if they got stained the washing machine was going to do a great job getting the stains off the clothes. He stood up immediately and he was done picking up the clothes. He pushed the basket under his arm and whistled as he walked down the floor. The stairs were dusty like no one was
