Unexpected Rise of Leonard Storm Chapter 54
The trip to Bali was faster than usual, at least, in comparison to the actual distance, since Matilda hadn't ever been there. She breathed a deep sigh the moment they landed, an indication of the end of her misery, or so she thought. The trip was far from what she envisioned, with Leonard a few inches from her, watching her every move. She'd been far from comfortable all through the trip, and now that she stepped out of the jet, she breathed in the first air of Bali with a smile lining her face. "What are you doing, Matilda? The bags sure as hell won't get themselves." Leonard who was clearly irritated, snapped, looking from Matilda to his jet. "Right away, sir," she mumbled, strutting away to grab his suitcases, boxes and other bags. Leonard watched her scurry off and she returned moments later, her petite body almost sinking with the weight of the loads in her hands and chest, as she struggled to maintain her balance. Leonard stood there, watching as beads of sweat form on her scr

“Yes, why are you looking for me?” Leonardasked the police who had come searching his house with a warrant.“We had a complaint of a young lady named Matilda being held here without her will. We received this complaint this morning from her father and we had to come check. Please, is there anybody with that name here?” The police asked.“Yes Matilda is here, but she's not been held here. Matilda is my wife and we got married legally.” He said, while surprised by the effrontery of the father to go and report him after everything he did to Matilda.“Please call out your wife so we can take her statement.” The policeman said.Richardson, while angry and feeling violated by Matilda's father, walks to the room to get Matilda but he keeps on knocking and no one is opening. He unlocked the door but it was locked from the inside. Leonardkicked the door down and he walked into the room but to his surprise, Matilda was nowhere to be found in his room.“Grandma! Grandma!!” He called out to her,

“Take and eat, the day of reckoning is ahead, you need strength.” The abductor says to Matilda. “What have I done to deserve this from you? I barely know you and I don't know why you're keeping me here. It's been three days and I'm living like a rat in your dungeon. What exactly do you want from me?” She says, sobbing.Laughing, “Eat your food, I told you, you need strength when everything unfolds you'll understand why I needed you.” He said, as he pushed her food to her and left the room.“The day of reckoning?” She asks herself thinking about what exactly she has had to anyone, she has always been gentle and she doesn't even fight or get on the bad side of anyone. Her life was meant to be perfect but here it is living like her rat the night when her marriage was hitting its peak.*** “Have you seen her anywhere near here?” Leonardasks, showing Matilda's picture to a lady walking by “Please if you see her contact this number, thank you.

“Wah! Wah! Wah!” The sound of the ambulance wailing filled the air, as the police, hospital attendants, and spectators surrounded the villa.“Matilda! Matilda!!” Mrs. Vera sobs as Matilda is rolled on a stretcher into the ambulance. Leonardpicks up his grandmother and brings her to the car. “Grandma please go in.” He says, as he takes a last look at Jack who has been handcuffed by the police and taken into their vehicle. “What exactly happened? Who is he? Why did he shoot Matilda? Why aren't you saying anything to me?” Mrs. Vera asks Richardson. But He maintained a strict face not giving his grandmother any reply as he drove off to the hospital with his grandmother. Matilda is rushed to the operation theater to remove the bullet. Mrs. Vera rushes in with the ambulance but she's restricted to the reception, while Leonardstays at the door looking sober and confused.“ Doctor, how's she doing now?” Mrs. Vera asks as the doctor comes out of the theater.“She's well but still unconscious.

She thundered at him, not giving him enough breathing space to spit out a single word from his mouth.Her eyes shot a quick stare at him from his head to his toe, taking a hint of every single dress that he was putting on."Do you think that you can get a platinum card with this five dollar or road trash pick out cloth that you are putting on right now?" Her glares deepened even more and his heart raced even faster."We were just talking about the few Pennies that you had in your account and what now. You are telling me that you want a platinum card?" She continues to glare at him."I wonder if today is going to get any worse." She replied.Even though her words were harsh and enough to make anyone angry, he was able to keep his strange calm.H

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

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.

"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.

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.

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
