Unexpected Rise of Leonard Storm Chapter 254
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

Someone from his staff had gathered my belongings in the morning and brought them to the house.I released a shaky breath when Leonard put the key in the lock. His eyes cut to me. “This is your home.”I gave him a shaky smile, knowing he meant it. Yet judging by the way he’d handled everything so far, his rules would be the only ones he’d want followed within those walls. I’d have to fight for every bit of power and freedom—h

The cityscape sparkled seen from the tall windows, a clear indication of the competitive environment I lived in.As I sat down at the shiny mahogany table, I was met with a series of hellos and confident handshakes.

The early morning air was thick with a chilling mist that hung low among the trees, casting an ethereal glow over the sprawling estate. The scent of dew-kissed grass clung to the breeze, a hint of freshness tingling against the senses. The sky, adorned with hues of lavender and tangerine, promised the arrival of a new day, filled with secrets waiting to unfold.In the heart of this picturesque scene, within the grand manor that stood tall and imposing, I sent for Puertelas, the leader of the maids.“She must return with you,” I sternly said to the guard.The atmosphere crackled with urgency as I eagerly awaited Puertelas' arrival, my mind consumed by a mixture of curiosity and concern.I had no idea if sending for her was the best thing to do, but I knew I had to start from somewhere.Moments later, the door creaked open, and Puertelas entered, her typically composed face marred by a troubled expression.
