The Heir's Redemption; Leonid Triumphs Over wealth CHAPTER 21
After a long bath in the room that was given to him, Leonid was drying off his hair with a hand towel as he walked into the room. His phone was lying on the bed; he had refused to use his old line. It was a new start for him, a new life; he was never going to be the poor, broke Leonid he was. His wife was going to be worried about him, and he was sure that she was going to try to call him. He couldn’t get over the fact that his parents knew that he was the child of the man they had robbed a long time ago and still had the heart to insult him. Leonid had never expected that the people he had tried to please and win their hearts so he could be with their daughter were the cause of all his problems, and he could not help but wonder if Ethan had not known about the company belonging to the Vanderbilts. His father's name was going to be on the CEO’s board, right? Was Ethan so dumb not to notice the name Vanderbilt, or had he not met Ethan’s father? Leonid had a lot of questions to ask, bu

"Mr. Giovanni, come this way," a man in glasses told him.Leonid stepped out of the car and took a quick glance around the company premises. The first thing he noticed was the company name boldly printed at the entrance: 'VANNI CASINO CZAR.' Leonid hadn't even bothered to inquire about the nature of the company or its products; he had simply agreed to take over it like a proper gentleman. Even though his father had assured him that his account was credited and handed him a black card, he hadn't bothered to check his account balance. He was well aware that it would be substantial."It is Mr. Vanderbilt," he corrected, unfamiliar with the name they were addressing him with."Aha, Mr. Giovanni, everyone knows you here by that name," the man replied.Leonid gave him a brief nod. "Still, Mr. Vanderbilt, or nothing at all."The man nodded nervously and pointed towards the company. "Everyone is waiting for you, but I should mention that there is a woman who came with our manager, and she see

Ethan grabbed her by the hand. "Stop yelling, Amelia. We can deal with this at home, okay?""At home?! Are you kidding me? And don’t fucking touch me!" She bellowed, slapping his hand away.Matteo walked closer to her. "Mrs. Harring...""Vanderbilt." She corrected through clenched teeth."Mr. Giovanni would not like this; I think you should leave."Amelia rolled her eyes. "I am not leaving until Ethan Storm gets fired."It was then that Ethan suddenly snapped. "I have had enough of all this, Amelia; now you will have to leave.""And how are you going to make me leave?" She challenged. "Hit me? or pretend to be a good man in the presence of your co-workers?"Ethan bit his lips in anger; it was taking so much self-control not to slap Amelia right there and then. His hand clenched into a fist. He grabbed her hand again, and this time the punch he received was harder than the others."I told you not to touch me!"Ethan raised his hand to his face and wiped it; his nose was broken, with bl

"I didn’t expect you to recognize me. Leonid spoke as he walked over to Ethan and loomed over him. "How dare you lay a hand on my wife? How dare you lay a finger on Mrs. Vanderbilt, or should I say, Mrs. Giovanni?"Ethan squirmed again and tried to get up, but the pain in his wrist stopped him from doing so. He winced from the pain in his hand and dropped back to the floor. His eyes darted from the ground to Leonid’s face."Cat got your tongue?" Leonid asked. "What happened to the strong and brave Ethan who loved to pick on Leopoor?"Ethan's gaze held a look of confusion. "How is this possible? You were poor last week, and I am sure they murdered you immediately after the paper was signed. How is it possible that you were alive?"Saint kicked Ethan’s tummy again. "Shut the fuck up!""Saint, let him say whatever he wants to say; besides, he can’t win anymore." Leonid told the saint.Saint shrugged his shoulders and pulled his leg away from Ethan’s belly. Ethan scurried away, moving on

Leonid stepped out of the car as soon as it came to a halt. His bodyguards walked behind him as he walked towards the building. When he got to the elevator, someone was rushing out of it.It was Amelia, and she was glancing back at the elevator, and soon enough, anger appeared from the back door. He had used the stairs when she shut the elevator in his face.There, you young miss, don't disappear on me. I'm just a harmless bodyguard.Amelia spun around in his voice, and her head hit something hard. Leonid's chest. She inhaled his scent, and her lips curled into a smile. He really smells good; she loved the way he smells.Her head raised and she stared at his face. He smiled down at her."Running away already?"**********Leonid sat on a chair in his room. He was sitting in front of a laptop screen. Typing away on the keyboard. Amelia, on the other hand, was going through her phone, and soon enough she got bored and walked over to him."See this," Amelia said after she had stood in fro

"What If I told you my father repaid the debts, but they wanted double payments,""That's not possible." Amelia said. "Why would they do that?"His head tilted to the side. "And there was a man who ran away with the laon he and my father took together. My father didn't raise Amelia. Mr. Vanderbilt never did; he left because he had nothing to offer us. He was robbed by his best friend, making him go bankrupt."Amelia gasped. "That's awful. How could a best friend do that to his friend?Leonid ignored her question and continued. "His best friend ran away with the loan they took together to invest in a new business.""That's awful; that was why he left? Because he didn't want you both to know about it?""Exactly Elia, he left to work and pay off the debt, which he did, but we won't focus on that. I found his best friend, and I am really close to his best friend's daughter.""You know his daughter?" Amelia questioned. "You never told me you have a female friend.""You know her; I don't ha

"You held no truth. Amelia, you held onto what you thought was the truth. I am glad that you did not tell me then because I would only hate my father harder. As for your father, he would have to pay for the pain he made me pass through."Amelia glanced at him. "I am going to confront him about it.""No need." Leonid said, and he parted her with his fingernails. "You did what you thought was right; you have no right to confront him about it. It is my job from here; just stay home and rest."Amelia shook her hand violently beneath his. "No, I am not going to stay here and let you confront him yourself. He had lied to me too and tried to turn me against you, and he also tried to kill you.""Chill out Elia. Ladies leave the hard job for the men.""What are you going to do to my father?" She asked."Nothing." He answered, trying hard to put on a calm face. "I'm just going to say hello, and was he at home before you left?""Yes." She replied. "What are you going to do to him?""Just to show

Leonid was trying very hard to control the anger that was building in him toward the man in front of him. The urge to punch the man in the face was so strong. The only thing that was holding Thompson back from hitting him was the thought of killing someone. He did not want to slam his fist into Thompson's face. He might do that, and Thompson might not be alive to face the consequences of what he had done.Even though he wanted to grant Thompson's death, it wasn't going to be an easy one. He had to suffer slowly for the pain he had caused him. He glanced at the man in front of him, who was trembling slightly."Oh perfect Thompson is scared of poor Leonid. I never knew I was someone to be scared of." Leonid taunted. "What if I show you that there's more Shelby's Vanderbilt blood running through my veins? How would you like that?"Thompson trembled and braced himself for what was going to happen next. Instead of throwing a punch in Thompson's face, Leonid retreated and went to stand besi

CHAPTER 153
"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
CHAPTER 147
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
