Leaving the premises, Leon couldn't help but feel like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He no longer had to worry about XLT and the mess that Hopkins and his cohort had made of it.

"Fucking corrupt bastards!" Leon sneered from the backseat of the car as it rolled down the street. He didn't think it could be so easy to actually steal from the company, but clearly he'd been very wrong. Both the accountant, the clerical officer and Lily, his secretary had a lot to answer to.

"Sir, where to?" Hector asked as they moved out of the place. He was glancing at him through the rearview mirror.

"I don't know, Hector, just drive away from here," he urged with a glare. The driver nodded and sped off, out of the neighborhood completely.

It was going to be a very long and tiring procedure to fish out everyone that was involved in the embezzlement but Leon was ready for it. There was no way he was going to allow them to take what belonged to the company and go scot free.

    Stepping out of the car, Leon came face-to-face with a very nicely dressed Tracy. She looked magnificent in her black dress and curled hair. The bags framed her face beautifully and he had to admit that she was really pretty. "Hello, Leon, it's been forever since I last saw you," she said and walked up to him to give him a hug. Leon bit her and then pulled away just as she looked like she was melting right in his arms. "It's just been a few days, Tracy, I'm sorry I haven't called, I've been busy," he said. Tracy looked at him and chuckled. "I should be the one apologizing for not being able to meet you or even give a call. I apologize but I've been very busy and I have good news," she said all in one breath. Leon was glad to hear that she had good news. So far all he seemed to be hearing in his life was one bleak story or the other. It felt great to await something good for a change. "I'm all ears, what news do you bring?" He asked. Tracy smirked proudly and walked back

    Leon and Tracy arrived at the party in a short while. They both stepped out of the Maserati and heads turned in their direction. Tracy's dress turned out to be the most lovely and unique in the entire place and this made the ladies stare in envy and the men in lust. "I'm glad that you came with me tonight, I would not have been able to fend off all these men on my own," she said and shook her head. At the door of the party, the bouncer did not even have to ask who Tracy you was because she was the only daughter of Sylvester Caden. But apart from coming as her date, most people in the club already knew Leon and he would not have had a hard time gaining access anyways. "Welcome Miss Tracy. Your mother has been looking for you all evening, kindly take the front seat please," one of the many ushers at the event said and let Tracy to her seat very close to the podium. Settled down and with a table and several bottles of expensive wine before them, Tracy and Leon could not help

    Leon stepped out of the party with Tracy right behind him. He hadn't been in the same place with such elite people in such a long time and he had mixed feelings. Tracy was so proud of what she had done. She wanted to create a new name for herself. No more was she willing to be the daddy's girl that did everything that her parents wanted even when it had nothing to do with her own career goals and aspirations. "Tracy!" A voice called to her from behind and she turned to look at her mother who was really dressed and coming to her with a fierce frown. "How could you do this!" She snapped. Tracy looked at her sternly, she didn't look remorseful at all. "What did you expect mum? If you really think that I would go ahead and marry that man that had nothing to do with my destiny?" She asked with a scowl on her pretty face. "Even if you're disrespecting your father, do you have to do it in such a crass manner? I know that I raised you better than this. I raised you to be more

    Outside the hospital, with the scorching heat of the sun on his already tanned face, Leon felt like the world was crashing down on his shoulders. In his grip was what he considered a death sentence. A scan results showed he'd been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Leon hissed, feeling hopeless and dejected. He could not believe that the migraines he'd been enduring for a while could be a tumor in his brain. Many questions ran through his head, how long did he have? Was his health insurance good? Could he survive a surgery? With another glance at that scan report, he had to hold in the emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. He had to be strong, he had to find a way to get better. At the same time, his phone rang and he reached into his pocket to retrieve it, it was his boss from work. "Hello, boss." He said and the next words he heard were typical of his toxic boss. "Why on Earth are you out of your cubicle? You are useless to the company already and now you're skipping work too?!"

    Hurt and with his thoughts running wild, Leon left his home, away from his nagging wife in an attempt to find some semblance of peace. That led him far away from home and soon, it was nightfall. Still wandering the streets, he recalled what the doctor had held him after handing him the test results. He needed over a million dollars to get surgery. He wondered if indeed his life was going to end because of the tumor because he knew he could not come up with such an amount of money, especially not after he'd been fired merely minutes after being told about the money. "I guess this is the end," Leon whispered to himself as he walked down the street, his head cast down in shame and hopelessness. He'd always known that Helen was very unsupportive financially but he'd known how much she did not care about him at all. Her last words still haunted him as he felt the cold evening on his face. The sky was cloudy, promising rain in a short while. It was a perfect mirror of his emotions. Leon

    Leon could still feel the breath of the girl on his face, they were pressed so closely together that he felt every inch of her skin, albeit through clothes. "Don't you want to let me go? They're all gone now." She said, her voice nasty and rude. Leon was embarrassed and pulled away from her but he didn't see that she too was blushing. She dusted her dress as he looked out and saw that all the gang members were gone, the entire street was now deserted. It was getting dark and Leon had nowhere to return, he wasn't ever going back to his wife, that was for sure. "Thank God they're gone." The girl said with a sigh and then stopped him as he was about to cross the road. "Wait, you've just helped me escape those men, I want to reward you." She said, Leon looked at her, apart from being very pretty, she was also very young and he didn't want any money from her, after all, it wasn't going to help his condition. "I don't want your money, I just couldn't stand those men trying to hurt

    Leon lay on the floor, bleeding profusely, blood gushing out of his sides and his head where he'd been badly beaten by the gangsters. The girl he'd saved, Sylvia ran to him on the ground and saw his critical state, "Oh my God! He's dying!" She cried and clutched him to her side, shaking him to wake up. She could almost see his life drifting away with every drop of blood that soaked the wet floor. "Uncle, please, save my friend, he's dying, he'd been badly wounded by these men," she wept helplessly. Uncle Smith looked at the young man on the floor, he was badly hurt and it was all because he'd been protecting his favorite niece. He knew he had to help him, "Let's take him to the hospital, please." Sylvia sobbed and her uncle nodded. "I will deal with your little gang later, mark my words." Sylvia's uncle said to the gangsters and then turned to help Leon first. With the help of his siblings, they picked Leon up and put him in the car, driving him to one of the best hospitals in t

    The doctors did not look desperate, they all seemed relieved that Leon was fine. "We have checked him, he is fine, his injuries are quite minor," the doctor said. "Is he awake? Will he be fine?" Sylvia asked the doctors. Both of them nodded, "Yes, he's awake now, we've been able to stabilize him." One of them said, Sylvia nodded, she was very relieved and grateful that nothing terrible had happened to him, "I'll go and get him some food, I'm sure he must be hungry." She said and immediately left the room. Uncle Smith frowned, he was curious, he had thought that Leon's state of health was much worse when he rushed him to the hospital, he had looked like he was dying but the doctor just announced his injuries as being slight. He had a feeling that he had lied about the severity of his condition just to elicit pity."You mean his condition isn't that bad? I thought he was dying." Uncle Smith said and the doctor shook his head, "His injuries are minimal, from the check, he'll be fine so

He didn't think it could be so easy to actually steal from the company, but clearly he'd been very wrong. Both the accountant, the clerical officer and Lily, his secretary had a lot to answer to.

    Walking out of XlT with his head held high, he couldn't help but notice all the stares that different members of staff were giving him. He was done trying to please everyone, he was done trying to make them all agree with him being the boss. Power had to be taken and Leon was damn rich to grab it with both hands. Leon was outside the premises, all the other staff were still lurking in the lobby, trying to get a better view of what was going to happen outside without being outrightly lookers. "Sir, you have to reconsider, we can't let all the members of the board go," Lily said, running after him, her high heels clicking on the tiled floor.Turning to her with a sharp gaze, he asked, "Which would you rather prefer, a team of old men who will revolt at the slightest chance or no one at all on the board?" He asked. Lily knew that was a tricky question to answer. For as long as she had been working for XLT, there was always a board of directors, Leon dissolving it all in one day as well

    Hector sat in the car, glancing at Leon through the rearview mirror. He has doubts about his master's readiness to face the big sharks at XLT again - especially so soon after all that he'd faced. But Leon wasn't acting like he wasn't ready for them, he seemed to be ready for anything at all. Right from when he woke up from the hospital bed, he'd gone straight down to help Fiona and it seemed he wasn't getting any good sleep in-between. "Master, are you ready to go in?" Hector asked and he didn't even miss a breath when he added. "I could call the secretary immediately to have the entire meeting rescheduled, if you're not up for it," he said. Leon chuckled at the speed with which he quickly said he wouldn't mind rescheduling. "It seems you're hoping that I'm not ready for the meeting so that you could quickly reschedule," he stated. Hector sighed, "If I may speak freely, sir, this has been one of the hardest weeks for you. I don't know how you've been able to fire through the

At the bar, as she picked up her purse and was walking out the front door. Her other two friends walked up to her and asked what had just happened. "What happened there? Why is Elsa being taken away?" One of them asked. "I don't understand. One minute you were in the bathroom and she offered to bring you a glass of wine and the next thing the cops are taking her out?" The second one inquired. . Leon shook his head at Fiona, telling her that she shouldn't say anything unless the investigations are over.

    Fiona stared in awe as she recalled that Leon had insisted on coming to the party even after turning her down the first time. It was quite unlike him to come to any party, especially one that he was sure would be filled up with ladies and music and as it actually turned out - strippers. She didn't understand why he had suddenly changed his mind. "Leon, it's true that you didn't want to come to the party in the first place, you're right," Fiona said and looked at him worriedly. Elsa was still defensive and tried to convince her friend that the man was lying and she would never want to hurt her for any reason. "Fiona, how could you believe this man over me? You left you at the party and went elsewhere, isn't it clear that he's trying to ruin your good time?" She asked, trying to play the emotional trick on her. "Leon, talk to me, why did you show up at that party? Why did you change your mind?" Fiona asked him, this time her eyes were fiercely on him, she believed that there was
