“Who is talking about a chick here?” Viktor asked, his brows furrowing.“Come on, Rizzo, what are you doing here?"“Cody, don’t you know?” Viktor grabbed a chair and sat on it. “You called my brother, didn’t you?”Cody's eyes shifted to Leonid, who was standing next to Viktor now. Leonid returned his stare with a blank look on his face.“You have a brother?’’ Cody sounded amused. “I didn’t know.”“How would you know?” Viktor questioned. “When you spend all of your time with women,"“I also work to earn money to spend on them.” Cody winked at Leonid. “So what’s your name, man?”Leonid took his seat next to Viktor; if Cody was asking for his name, that means that it wasn’t Cody who had made the call.“I thought you already knew." Viktor muttered. “How would I? I just met him.” Cody replied, his gaze still on Leonid.“You didn’t make the phone call?” Leonid asked. A surprise look appeared on Cody’s face. “What phone call?"Viktor and Leonid exchanged glances, and Viktor let out a small
The man ran towards the passageway, and Leonid realized that he hadn’t been able to move around the house. He didn’t even know how he could appear right in front of the man. Viktor was hot on his tail. Leonid glanced back at Viktor. Viktor was opening a door to the left and stepped in. Leonid didn’t have the time to ask Viktor where he was headed because he glanced back at the man. The man took the road to the left.“Dammit!” Leonid cursed. “I am going to kill you.”Leonid kept on chasing after the man, and soon he ran past the kitchen. He peered into the kitchen, only to see that Satan was not in it. Someone appeared in front of the masked man; Leonid saw it was Viktor. The man paused and ran in the other direction. Another person appeared behind the man.Satan! The mask man then turned in Leonid’s direction. The man looked like he had been surrounded by predators wanting to catch his prey. He surveyed the place, as if he were trying to find a hole to crawl into.“You are surrounded!
Leonid thought Cody wouldn’t reply to his message any sooner, but he did.‘If you haven’t answered the call, answer it. I’m tracking it now.’Leonid glanced at Matteo. “Can you excuse me? I will call you when needed.”"Yes, Mr. Giovanni.” Matteo replied, turned around, and left.Leonid picked up the phone call, but there was silence coming from the other end. Viktor, who was engrossed in his work, glanced at Leonid and hurried towards him. Still, when Viktor reached Leonid, there was nothing coming from the phone.After waiting in silence for the man at the other end to speak, the man finally spoke.“Leonid, what are you doing right now? Do you need help at the office? I am really helpful. I saw the way you dropped off your wife at her company today. That’s actually the sweetest thing I have ever seen today.”Blood drained from Leonid’s face as he listened to what the man said. The man had been stalking him and knew where his wife was.“What do you want?” Leonid questioned.The man la
He checked the caller ID, and it read Cody. He picked it up and placed the phone in his ears. Cody’s voice was loud, and there was a shriek of engines in the background, as Cody spoke.“The man got away!” Cody announced. “He knew we were coming.”“I know that.” Leonid replied. “Thank you, Cody, for helping me out, but since he escaped, you can go back to whatever you are doing now. I have something else to deal with, and could you help me keep tracking the number?”“Sure.” Cody replied. “Just text me whenever.”The call ended, and Leonid peered at Viktor. It was time for them to go to the Smith’s. He gestured with his hand for Viktor to come along with him. Viktor got the hint and stood to his feet.“We will be back soon.” Leonid informed Matteo. “If you have any problems, call Mr. Massimo and text me.”Leonid had asked his father if they had any problems working with the hoverboard. Even though he knew there was going to be any problems since the hoverboard was all planned out, They j
“You want us to pick up the phone? That would be the craziest thing to do, and how is it possible for him to call us at once?” Madison questioned, her brows furrowed in confusion.Leonid stared at her. "Just answer the phone."They all picked up the phone at once, and the high-pitched voice of the man rang in the air."Hello Madison.""Hello Leonid.""Hello Rizzo." "Hello Mason."The phone was quiet for a while, and Leonid's lips curled up into a smirk. There were different people making the calls, not one. The voice was different, though Leonid realized that they were using voice converters."Mason?" One voice said:"Why did you call me?" Another replied. "I thought we were not allowed to call each other.""They might be a mistake." Another one came from Leonid's phone. "We have to end this call right now.""No way!" The one on Viktor's phone snapped. "You have to tell me why all our calls are connected.""I don't know." The first one said: "I did not call anyone of you; I called Ma
The sheriff made his way towards Leonid, and Anger stepped in front of the middle-aged sheriff. He raised a brow at the sheriff as if asking him what he wanted. The sheriff pulled out his badge and showcased it in front of anger.“Jonas Williams….”“Sheriff, what do you want?” Satan inquired. “We care less about your identification; we can see your outfit clearly.”“You have to leave.” Saint snapped. “We broke the law; I get it; now could you leave?”Jonas eyes widened as he glanced at Saint. “I am the sheriff; you have no right to speak to me that way. Do you know why I am here?”“Do we look like we care?” Anger retorted. “We have to get into the hospital; someone is injured.”The sheriff's eyes trailed towards Leonid. Amelia was glancing at his hand and wiping off the blood with a handkerchief.“What happened to him?” The sheriff inquired.“None of your business, sheriff.” Satan replied.“Cops irk me.” Anger muttered under his breath.“I am allergic.” Saint added. Jonas gaze left L
''I want a baby.''The words rang in his head countless times. She had a serious look on her face, and he knew she had been pestering for a child since the beginning of their marriage. He stared at her blankly. Didn't she know that he wasn't the one creating the babies? She blinked at him as if waiting for an answer from him."We can't have a baby now." Leonid confirmed. "There is danger lurking around, and it would be too dangerous to get pregnant now."Amelia's hand slipped from his arm, her lips forming a gentle pout, and sadness clouded her eyes."What do you mean? I will stay indoors, and I won't give birth until the threat is over."The look on Amelia's face was filled with hope; her eyes softened as she spoke.''You are so demanding,'' Leonid murmured, pulling her into his arms. Her lips trembled slightly, and her body relaxed against his. He could feel her racing heartbeat as he leaned in to kiss her.She wrapped her fingers around his neck, pulling him closer with a sense of
Leonid surveyed the environment; he couldn’t see any sign of Cody or the men he had promised to come with. Anger and Reaper were standing next to Leonid and Viktor. Their hands were on their guns as they waited. “We have to act without them.” Leonid muttered. “Jeremy might be in there, and we can’t let him slip away, or there won’t be anymore time.” Anger and Reaper spun around and around and pulled their triggers at the approaching figure. Cody, who had been approaching them, threw up his hand and braced himself. “It is just me.” Cody muttered. "Well, we don’t know who the fuck you are.” Anger uttered. Leonid and Viktor glanced back at Cody. “He is with us, Anger.” Leonid said. “That’s Cody.” Reaper and Anger withdrew their guns, and Cody sighed in relief. “For a second, I thought you were about to shoot me.” Cody muttered. “I was about to.” Reaper said. “You can’t just sneak up on someone that way.” Cody shrugged. “I get it. What do we do next?” Leonid glanced over Cody’s
