They broke away from the moment feeling embrassed the moment They realized They had been caught. "Sorry to interrupt the moment, but I need to speak with the both of you." Scorpion said with a smirk on his face.He stepped further into the room, grabbing a chair and making himself comfortable. He pulled out his phone. "I need you to listen to this." He said directing his statement to Leonard .They both paid close attention and soon realize the audio note playing was Felix 's voice. "I need to sign the deal with the mob family if we want to elevate this position that we are in. I have sat down long enough and watched Leonard be incompetent and now that he is out of the picture, there is no stopping me." He boasted.I looked at Leonard who was listening, a look of shock on his face. "He is trying to ruin my company!" He stated."Exactly Leonard . Listen I need you to understand that Felix is becoming a menace. I know he has grown powerful, but we need to stop him. We need to pu
"I still have one last document that shows my claim over the company. We can use this as a bait to lure Felix into our trap and make sure that he takes it." I explained the plan in detail to Scorpion and the boys."I hope you are aware that Felix is smart, he would know that forfeiting the documents willing is suspicious, we need to act ahead of him.""I know Felix more than any of you. He is my business partner. Since he is after signing the next big deal that would make the company become his own, he would be needing this document. His clients would ask for the deeds and that's when he would realize they are with me. He will come for it and we will take immediate actions against him."I looked at their faces and noticed a lot of them were buying into the plan and this gladdened my heart."So first, we already know he is going to meet up with the Chinese investors tomorrow, I need you to tell your spies to pay close attentio
The shock in the face of the high mayor was evidently clear. He couldn't conceal his presence any longer as Cannon had already caught up with him. "Staying with you for a long time has thought me a thing or two about tricks and I am sure of what I had just said." Cannon pulled his small knife out of his pocket and pointed it to the direction of the high mayor . "I am waiting.." he said slowly getting impatient. The fog that concealed our identity was suddenly broken and Cannon towards our direction with a smirk on his face. "What do we have here? Gilbert the Beta to Tristan , I also heard you are the Luna." He said pointing in my direction. "And I don't know who you are." He said pointing in the direction of Alsie."Cannon, look you have...." We gasped as Cannon's pocket knife flew to the direction of the high mayor , missing him by an inch."One more word from you and that knife would be in your head!" Cannon yelled. He was absolutely fuming for sure. "You know we battle against
"You shouldn't have done that for me." I said feeling honestly sad about the act that he committed."And let Cannon kill you? I broke my vow for family and that's all that matters. All we need right now is to find a way to get to Tristan ." Ever since the revelation about Lisa and Tristan 's bond, I have been completely restless, knowing that things would be completely messed up."The actual question is, how do we get to Tristan without being caught?" Alsie asked."You could do it Octopos, you have an imposing power that would be useful for us at this point." I suggested, but seeing the look on Octopos face, it was obvious he wasn't willing and ready to do any of this things."I have only used my magic for disappearing twice and I don't intend touching it. You people need to come up with a good plan, one that will be smart enough for all not to take notice of." Octopos had a point and knowing how his condition had been, I didn't want to stress his magical abilities any more."Alsie
The meeting day fast approached, and both Vincent and Matilda got ready earlier than the meeting time. The previous day, Vincent 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 Vincent 's room. She took one long breath before knocking on his door which opened effortlessly. Vincent 's back was turned to her when she walked in, his fingers fastening his wristwatch. Matilda 's gaze lingered on the broad expanse of Vincent '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, s
"Quite easy, James." All heads turned from Vincent 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 Vincent 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, Vincent 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 exactl
Leonard swung his legs out of bed. “I’m going to clean up.”My eyes raked over his muscled body, mesmerized by the hard planes, the ridges of his six-pack, and the narrow V of his hips. I was attracted to his body, which was a relief. My gaze dipped even lower, and the blood on his penis drove heat into my head. I looked away. I had been staring too long anyway. Looking down at myself, I cringed at the sight of my smeared inner thighs—a disgusting mix of blood and sperm. I slid out of bed, taking in the mess on the linens A small mortified sound slipped out of me.“Are you all right?” Leonard rumbled somewhere behind me.I turned, grimacing. “Do we really have to show these sheets?” “That was the point of us sleeping together.”Ouch. “So, you only slept with me because of the presentation of the sheets?”Now that we were married, I wanted Leonard to be attracted to me. It seemed a horrible fate to spend your life with someone who couldn’t bear touching you. I definitely enjoy
I wasn’t a fan of physical contact at night and had often not even shared the bed with my deceased wife. Not that she would have ever dreamed of wanting to have me close at night. She never bothered to hide her reluctance to have me near her, least of all when we slept together—unless there was something that she wanted from me.Matilda had asked for my closeness and I’d denied her.The early morning light illuminated her puffy face. Her lashes stuck to her skin with dried tears. She was close, had moved closer in sleep until we were almost touching. I felt the unreasonable desire to touch her—and not in a sexual way. Propped up on my elbow, I watched her peaceful sleep. As with many nights before, Lisa ’s blood-covered body had haunted my dreams. I hardly ever dreamed about the people I’d killed, and yet my dead wife still filled my nights.Matilda stirred, lips parting in a soft sigh. I pushed myself up and swung my legs out of bed, turning my back to her.The bed shifted. I
