Leon’s forehead creased, he was confused and worried at the same time because if he was not able to save his daughter today, then it will be more difficult to do it on the next day. He should take action as soon as possible before the woman elopes and hides the little girl in another place.“What do you mean? Can you please enlighten me?” asked Leon with so much confusion in his face.Is it bad if he requests to bring back his daughter to him? Of course, Lady Martha can easily do that but still she refused to fulfill his request because she knows that she can still use the little girl to manipulate Leon.“Nevermind it, you don’t need to know. Besides, my decision will still not be changed. I will not bring back that little kid to you. Not until I get what I wanted from you,” Lady Martha replied sternly, her eyes screaming with authority.But Leon refuses to back down, his face is full of determination and he knows what he needs to do from the start—it was to save his daughter no matte
Leon may have looked so calm but the truth is he was already freaking out deep inside. Whatever the woman’s condition is, for sure it will be a hard decision for Leon. He may be fortunate enough to see his daughter again but the question here is, how long will they both stay alive?He was haunted by his deep thoughts and it was obvious from the way he stared at the woman with great fear. Basically, this woman gains control from this game and once Leon violates her rule, she will not think twice to end his life like what she has done to her husband.“Or else what? Would you kill me if I didn’t surrender everything you wanted?” asked Leon, his voice was trembling but he was trying his best to hide how frightened he was.The guards are also on the alert mode so once Leon tries to resist, for sure they will not let him go—in short, he was trapped in this sort of a place which is more of a rabbit hole in reality.“Well, not only you but also that little girl. And you know what else I can d
Leon was about to cry seeing how miserable his loyal butler looks. He remembered the days when the old man was always there to protect and save him from any danger. His butler was so loyal to him to the extent that he was willing to risk his life for Leon.But look at what happened to his butler, at this moment Leon’s heart was breaking into pieces. He doesn’t know how he can help the old man or how he could at least lessen the pain that his butler is feeling right now.“No, please don’t apologize to me, Mr. Xander. I should be the one apologizing to you because I could not protect you from these people. It was all my fault…” said Leon bitterly, he can’t look in his butler at this moment because it feels like he was suffocating just by seeing him under a traumatic situation.The old man was trying to reach his hand but the guards restricted him from doing it. It was so hard for Leon to see his loyal butler down on his knees while he had already suffered enough. If he could only share
Leon was taken aback and he couldn't fight with the guards because he was still weak. On top of that, he can’t afford to do anything that can trigger Lady Martha because she can end their lives in an instant as long as she wants it.“Please hold on, my master. I know that help is on the way. I’m sorry if I was not able to fulfill my responsibility to protect you,” the butler mumbled but enough for Leon to hear it.Leon has no other choice but to bite his lower lip to prevent himself from making any noise. Lady Martha looks furious at this moment and he can’t afford to make her mad even more. He will not like it because the woman is more scary when she’s mad.Meanwhile, Martha’s guards drag Leon, Sarah, and Mr. Xander toward the dungeons, like what Lady Martha has instructed them to do.They were showing no mercy to them and they were dragging them as if they were just useless dogs. Leon was so worried about his daughter because the little girl is still unconscious at this time. He wan
Just by doing that, Lady Martha’s eyes narrowed. There was a little grin formed in her mouth knowing that there was another man who was trying to test her patience. She thought she would only need to deal with Leon but it turned out that the young boy was backed up by the people he trusted the most. These people are willing to sacrifice their life for their loved ones which the woman finds so funny because for her, only foolish and weak people do that kind of stuff.“I admire the courage you have, mister. But I’m sorry because I was not interested in your nonsense. I think you just forgot that you were in Rosenberg's secret place so you should stop acting cocky!” Lady Martha snarled, his eyes were piercing at Leon, seeming like wanting to teach him a good lesson.But Morrison did that back down, he knows his capabilities and if the woman has seen the world for long years, Morrison has encountered a lot of people for long years too. And during these years, Morrison has been learning a
The moment Sarah wakes up after sleeping for a long time, her voice was hoarse, obviously weak compared to her usual voice when they were still in the cottage.Emily has been longing for her daughter for a long time but now that she has seen her again, it seemed that she was too near yet so still so far.She could not even hold her daughter's hand or give her a tight hug. That’s why Emily's heart was breaking into pieces because she has been waiting for this moment but yet she can’t do what she badly wants to do.“Hey, why don’t you let me touch my daughter? I’m her mother! You can’t do this to me,” Emily groaned in pain as the guards tightened their grip to her arms.She was forcing them to let her go but it seemed that the guards were so stubborn. In fact, they will not let her go no matter how much she tries to force them unless it was stated by their boss who is none other than Lady Martha.“Can you stop moving around, woman? You are making it harder for us,” one of the guards sco
As they watched the little girl, the guards looked at each other with confused looks. "Why isn't she scared?" one of them whispered to the other. It doesn't make sense.The other guard just shrugged, also confused. "Maybe she doesn't understand what's happening?" Their quiet talk was cut short when Leon cried out in pain. He yelled "No!" and strained against his chains, making noises as he did so. "Leave her alone! "Let her go!"Suddenly, Leon's body felt like it was filled with warm, pulsing energy. He felt ten times as much strength coming back into his limbs, which made his eyes widen. When he looked down, he saw a soft glow coming from his pocket. It was the Love Stone, and its various colors were sparkling with magic."Sarah," he breathed, realizing what he was doing. His daughter had given him the power of the stone in some way.As Leon felt stronger than ever, he put all of his energy into breaking free. And then the chains broke like glass. He got to his feet and felt stronge
When Martha suddenly appeared in front of them, the air shook with tension. Her sudden return broke the short moment of peace. Leon's heart was beating fast, but he stood tall and looked her in the eyes with fire in them. He held the Love Stone in his hand and felt its energy pulse. Its various colors gave him a protective glow."You won't touch my daughter or anyone else I care about," Leon said with a firm tone in his voice.Dark magic was flowing around Martha like a scary aura, and her lips were curled into a mean smirk. "We'll see about that," she purred, sounding very dangerous.The last battle was about to start. Martha called up a dark, whirling cloud of energy. As she got ready to attack, her power grew."You think that little stone can protect you?" Martha made fun of. "You have no idea of the depths of my power!"Leon took a stronger hold of the Love Stone. "And you have no idea of the strength that comes from love and determination."Martha's eyes flashed in a scary way.
