Chapter OneThe blue building stood out like a gigantic mansion in the midst of smaller houses. The light on was an indication of its affluent and wealth. Moving carefully with the package parcel, Leo had one mission in mind - deliver the parcel and get the hell out of the hotel. His detest for hotels was uncalled-for, and tends to blind his vision to the responsibility shouldered on him. But responsibilities needed to be executed, irrespective of his personal demons. Arriving at the destined room, Leo released the breath he never knew had been locked up in the depth of his stomach. He breathed in steadily. Briskly, he knocked on the door."Hey, who is there?" A male smooth voice called from inside.Not having a chance to respond, Leo watched silently as the door swung open, revealing a tall, dark guy with a broad chest. He was half naked and flirting with a blonde lady next to him. His wife.Her soft laughter resonated in the room, causing his heart to somersault.Leo's heart

Chapter Three"I can't give you a divorce tomorrow, as that seems to be impossible. I have got to seek permission from my grandmother before giving you a divorce. And my grandmother's birthday is tomorrow."Leo shoved her out of his sight as he dragged his luggage out of the toxic room."Contact me anytime you get the permission."Without another word, Leo exited the building with his luggage, saying goodbye to bad things. *** D - Day ***Loud sound blazing from the music box was an indication to the ongoing party which took place on the fourth floor, D estate. Men of influence graced the occasion as it was the birthday of a powerful, affluent woman with fame. Selena's grandmother, Eliza.The red and blue light dimmed the room, giving it a clublike atmosphere. People moved their body to the rhythmic sound of music.Moving across the room, Selena shielded herself to avoid the hyperactive people dancing crazily to the music. She h

Chapter FiveEliza’s silky voice drew the attention of some guests, as she ran towards Selena.“Are you okay?” Eliza inquired.“Yes, I am fine, it's just a little bruise on my arms.” Selena rose, brushing aside an invisible bruise and feigning a wince.“How dare you push Selena down?” Eliza snarled with contempt dripping from her eyes.“I…”“Granny, Leo got upset with me for mentioning to you that he was cheating, so he yelled at me and pushed me down.” Selena wailed, not giving a damn about her mascara.“You did what?”Alarmed at the sudden change of story and attitude from Selena. Leo took a step back, fighting hard to conceal the pains in his eyes.“I didn't do any…”“Granny,” Selena whined, cutting Leo off.“He said I am a maid and look like one!”“How dare you! You scumbag!” Eliza yelled, with her palm designing Leo’s cheek with a slap.The resounding slap drew the audience’s attention towards them, and the media team began taking a video.“I didn't do any of the things Selena sa

Chapter SevenSelena smiled triumphantly. She had Granny Eliza's support and that meant a lot.“Of course Granny Eliza, I wouldn't dare!” Leaning back, Selena gestured Leo forward, signaling him with her eyebrow.Instantly, Leo's mind picked on the message.“Happy Birthday Granny Eliza. I wish you many fruitful years on earth.” With pains and sickness. Leo mentally added.Ignoring Leo’s wishes, Eliza glanced at the audience.“Thank you all for coming to my 60th birthday. Please enjoy yourself to the fullest. I am sorry for the drama you just witnessed. Have fun! Cheers! The house will be cleaned by Leo immediately when you are done, feel free to lither everywhere.”She raised her glass up in a toss.***Morning light filled up the room, filtering into Leo's dream world and jerking out from the only world that held peace.He tossed on the bed with the duvet moving alongside with him. His stomach growled, reminding him of his starvation last night.Staring at the wall clock tickling si

Chapter NineLina?Leo's heart froze at the mention of Lina's name.Fear gripped him by his neck.Seeing him tremble made Selena victorious.Of course everyone thought her family was brilliant, calculative and responsible for all the strategic moves pulled in the company.What they never knew was that Selena was the brain behind everything.For the past three years, Leo had watched her manipulate things in her favours. He had watched her whirl many powers against her opponents.He had watched her make strategic moves. What she wants, she always gets it.And now, he watched her exercise the same forces over him. Manipulating him to do her bidding.His heart went to the screen with Jude Eric's picture still on display, guilt clawed its way into his heart.“I don't have all the time in the world!” Selena ordered. “Speak!”Leo swallowed the hard lump on his throat. Under forty eight hours, he had shade tears that could fill a bathtub.“Please leave Lina out of this. Don't involve her. I w
