He had the impression that he was trapped in a bad dream with no way out. In his living room, he paced back and forth, attempting to make sense of it all. But his confusion increased with further reflection. He heard the door open at that very moment, and his wife Matilda entered with a worried expression on her face. "What's going on, Leonard ? I noticed the police vehicles outside."Leonard 's gaze met hers as he looked for clarification. "Matilda , we need to talk." She set down her suitcase and approached him, concern shining in her eyes. "What is it?" Leonard inhaled deeply as he searched for the appropriate words. "In Gigi 's backpack, the cops discovered a gun. And it's owned by a detective by the name of Danny .""Oh Detective Danny , such a good man." She mentioned with a smile on her face, leaving Leonard in shock."I am talking about a man's gun in our bedroom with his Id card. What are you talking about?" Leonard questioned."Hey listen to me, I don't like it wh

"I'm sure that he must be feeling so sad right now, should I spite things up by going to his office to celebrate this victory with him? He might find out that I'm the one that stole that brown envelope but who cares? He'll learn not to ever mess with me again" I soliloquied as I lied down in my bed scrolling through my phone.I was about to call my girls when my father strolled in to my room in all smiles, he was looking so handsome in his blue fitted two piece Armani suit and a black leather shoe."Good morning, off to work, daddy?"I asked string at him and he smiled."Yes, dear. I have some things to settle in office" he muttered as he checked his wrist watch, I can never understand this man. I feel bad about what I did because I realized that this business plan is a great one for it to make my father as successful as this, it would have made Leonard more successful and he would have been pulled out of this mess his company is in, I'm sure that he'll never forgive me if he finds

I didn't think I'd get lost in the streets of Los Angeles. I looked everywhere for a way to get to this place. I was distracted by the man's words and neglected to take a photo of the building. I walked back a little and heard a faint scream coming from the tunnel. I thought about going ahead for a moment, but then the male voice that followed told me something was wrong. I ran towards the tunnel and found a group of boys assaulting an innocent young woman. She was intimidated by their presence, and their fear fuelled her. “Get your hands off her!” Everyone stopped and looked in my direction. “So who are you to tell us what to do?” asked one of the gang members. I assumed the man was the leader. The tattoo on the right side of his hand confirmed what I already knew: they were a gang. “Listen, I don’t want to smoke with any of y

When I came out of the secret room, I noticed that she was concentrating on her phone until I called her name. She then looked up at me and smiled. "You spent hours there," she said, as the other boys also left the room. "I had to do something," I replied. "I also noticed someone screaming in there. What was that? I stared at her for a while, trying to gather myself. "Maybe it's coming from the wrong room. I mean, look around, this company has a few rooms. Come on, let's go to my office." I offered my arm and she took it and we walked down the hallway until we reached my office. The moment the door opened, a very familiar face sat next to the couch and a large cigar box was on the table. "A Jew! I frowned when I saw him, but he knew it right away the moment he saw Skyler behind me." “Who is this fat bitch next to you?” I hea

He glared at me and I stood there waiting for him to apologize but instead he walked past me still talking on phone with whoever he might be communicating with. I just lost my patience and whatever respect I had, if he had at least bumped into someone, he should apologize for what he had done. "Young man." I yelled as I ran to him dragging him by his cloth back to me causing murmurs in the store.Everyone's attention was now focused on us. "How dare you! You bumped into me, wasted my food and smoothie and you couldn’t even apologize or do something to amend whatever you just did.” I yelled at him.It was enough that I was frustrated already but I can’t let one guy ruin my mood completely, it’ll be completely unfair, ahhhh. He stared at me for a while, his expression cold and with no remorse, “Cat got your tongue.” I frowned. "So how much do you need for me to compensate you? It was just food right? I didn’t hit you with my car or anything?" He asked which caught me off guard. Who

"What?" We both yelled in unison, anger written all over my face.My sis was busy talking to dad in annoyance but I have heard enough of them, “Enough!” I shout. I faced Leonard , “Why will you say you want me? I’m not a tool, I’m human and you heard them when they said Sarah is the one to get married to you, I don’t want you and it’s simple.” His parents stood up, “We’ll prepare for the wedding, try to talk to your daughter.” And with that they left leaving the guy, he looked at me and stood up. “I don’t want to chose you as much as you don’t want me. But wouldn’t you be a perfect negotiating partner for the stock they wanted.” He smirked, Sarah stopped complaining and stared in shock before he went out. “What’s going on here?” I faced them, Sarah did same. Mom explained the company is facing crisis and they had no choice but to create a wedding alliance with his family and since Sarah loved him, they decided to marry her off to him. But now that he chose me then I have no choi

The meeting day fast approached, and both Leonard and Matilda got ready earlier than the meeting time. The previous day, Leonard had mentioned that they would need to discuss a couple of things as touching their faux relationship. Matilda gave herself one last look over before leaving for Leonard 's room. She took one long breath before knocking on his door which opened effortlessly. Leonard 's back was turned to her when she walked in, his fingers fastening his wristwatch. Matilda 's gaze lingered on the broad expanse of Leonard 's back, moving lower to his legs, cladded in blue suit pants. He twirled, catching sight of an ogling Matilda who flushed hard and turned away the moment he caught her staring at him. Her heart clattered in her chest, and she blinked more than necessary. "I've been waiting for you." His face twisted in a smile and he grabbed his tie from the sofa, striding to her, his charming smile still lining his face. "My tie." Without a word, she grabbed it from

"Quite easy, James." All heads turned from Leonard to Matilda who got off her seat, an air of confidence all around her. The question was about something their competitor had which they didn't. From the looks of it, they had already had a meeting with Broadway Enterprise before this particular one with F and A, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of their proposal. James was aware that Leonard would be interested in his activities, and as such, he'd distracted him from looking further at his day-to-day dealings by frolicking with women, while he gave an audience to their rival party. Finding nothing fishy in his dealings, Leonard had ordered his men to quit monitoring James' activities. "While it is true that this idea and approach is novel, and hasn't been tested yet, and would therefore need tons of investment, it is no doubt the best we need if we're concerned about skyrocketing our target audience. In F and A, we've put this into consideration and that's exactly why we

The tension in the air was palpable as Matilda prepared herself for what Leonard had in store for her. Richard 's eyes shone with a dangerous intensity, his intentions unclear but menacing. Matilda's mind raced with horrible possibilities, each more horrible than the last. She felt a shiver run down her spine as Richard 's laughter echoed in the dimly lit room. Despite her fears, Matilda remains defiant, refusing to show any sign of weakness in the face of Richard 's twisted desires. "I can do more than you imagine and make you hot!" Leonard smiled as he read the expression on Matilda's face. It's really fun teasing Matilda at the moment. Her lips trembled, hoping she wasn't thinking anything. "Are you making me hot?" Would it really roast me alive or burn a part of me? Matilda asked stupidly Although she is a stripper who must know a lot about the tactics of men, unfortunately she is a l

"How dare you?" Leonard roared like a lion as the champagne spilled over his dress and poured freely into his trousers. Matilda was shaking terribly as she searched for towels to clean Leonard clothes and shoes. He had just poured himself a glass of champagne. "I'm so terribly sorry! I was---sss" stammered Matilda , trying to finish her words when Leonard pulled her hair and picked her up. "You are here to pay your brother's debt, but you are clearly unable to do so! Leonard said in a very intimidating voice, letting the lumps fall on Maris's neck. "Please, I feel weak!" He had never felt this way in his entire life as he searched for ways to survive. He felt his strength leave him and let his body fall into Richard 's grip. Everyone's eyes in the VIP room widened. "This girl is really doomed," commented one of them and motioned for Leo

They'd been able to not only beat Broadway Enterprise's weakness but also strengthen theirs. "To say the least, I'm quite impressed with this proposal, and so is everyone here today, as such, we wouldn't have any other company partnering with us other than F and A. Congratulations, Richard and Matilda , your intelligence is meritorious. I see why you're a couple now," he added with a smile. "I'll have my lawyer get the agreement ready for you for your signature in the next 48 hours. Congratulations again."With that, Leonard left, and a few others commented about Matilda 's intelligence, and how lucky Richard was to have her by his side, one of whom was Ryan Porter."From the day I saw you at the party, I knew you were one intelligent woman. Congratulations, Matilda . Richard also, you got yourself a gem. If she weren't hooked with you, I might have stolen her away. Good luck with the project." Richard 's jaw hardened at Ryan's words. His heart sank also. R

"What are you doing, Richard ?" She asked the moment one hand cupped her face, while the other slid down the curve of her waist. Her question came out as a whisper, which surprised her. "Helping you relax around me. We can't go to the meeting with you looking like this.""Like how?"Richard leaned closer to her, bringing his lips to her ear and her body jolted as his hot breath fanned her skin. "Like a simple touch from me will send a wave of electricity through you. One simple touch, like this." The hand that was on her waist found her fingers and he intertwined his with hers, which were already clammy. Matilda shut her eyes in pleasure and pressed her lips in a firm line to prevent herself from making even the slightest sound. He buried his face in her neck, inhaling her inviting flowery scent. The impulse to trail his lips up her neck tugged at his heart, but he acted against it. Instead, he just stood there, registering her scent in his mind and trying to decipher w

Four months went by since that fateful evening, and Richard 's iciness had become even more noticeable.

When my time with Leonard was up that evening, I chose to make a decision that could alter my future significantly. I summoned up my bravery and met his gaze, speaking with conviction.Leonard , I appreciate all that you've done. Would you mind giving me a lift?Fear was evident on Leonard 's face as he considered my request. "Are you certain, keeping in mind his possible reaction?" he inquired, worried about how his words may come across.I let out a slow breath, calling upon my inner power. I am able to deal with Richard by myself. "It will all be okay."He nodded in agreement as his eyes softened with comprehension. "Okay, if you're certain." "I will transport you to your residence."While starting the car journey, Leonard grabbed the radio and switched it to a station he knew. The gentle tune of my preferred song enveloped the car, creating a mix of emotions that matched my inner turmoil.While the music played, a query escaped from my mouth. Leonard , when are we able to

I was frozen in shock, speechless, as Richard 's words lingered in the air like a thick mist. For years, we have been close friends, sharing jokes, secrets, and even playful flirting. However, his unexpected question left me speechless and confused. Is it impossible for him to ever have me? His question's consequences made me shudder.I felt a swirl of confusion in my head while attempting to understand his abrupt question. Before I had a chance to collect my thoughts and reply, Richard appeared to dismiss it, as though he hadn't just posed such a deep question to me. He proposed finishing the day by having ice cream at his house, trying to shift the conversation to a more cheerful subject.Declining his offer politely, I managed to force a faint smile and replied, "Thank you, Richard , but I believe I should leave."He nodded, a brief flicker of disappointment appearing on his face. Noticing the discomfort between us, he proposed to accompany me to the entrance of the amusement park

With a slightly trembling voice, she spoke up, my words now carrying a hint of confidence. "Leonard , I put on the lingerie like you requested." "Now, please enlighten me, what exactly do you desire from me?"While we glared at each other intensely, I silently vowed to control the situation according to my wants and limits. I had learned that real power comes from accepting my own vulnerability, even when things are uncertain.Leonard continued to hold on to his unfeeling attitude, remaining adamant in his penchant for mocking others.I felt a shiver down my back as his face became stern, his eyes narrowing with a touch of contempt. He clutched my hand tighter, his voice filled with scorn.Leonard mocked, saying, "I warned you it wouldn't look good on you," in a tone filled with bitterness. "You believed that wearing just a lingerie set could make me interested in you... turns out, it didn't work."I felt a wave of disappointment and hurt as my heart dropped, replacing the warmth I

She tried on the dresses one at a time, with each one more captivating than the previous one. The gentle materials hugged my body's natural contours, as intricate elements shimmered in the light, producing a stunning exhibition. I spun around and looked at myself in the mirror, wishing to see a hint of love in Leonard 's gaze. However, his calm facial expression stayed unchanged as he stood just outside the fitting room, serving as a constant indication of his emotional disconnection.I put on a different dress and gazed at myself in the mirror once more. While fixing my appearance, I noticed Leonard 's gaze in the mirror. His eyes held a gentleness, showing a hint of kindness that was previously absent. The teasing and coldness had become gentler, giving way to a more tender emotion.Leonard spoke at last, his voice lacking any enthusiasm as he commented, "You appear pleasant." "Perhaps this one is overly glittery," he said, pointing to a dress decorated with detailed beadwork
