Family Meeting
Chapter Eleven Leo's heart accelerated as reality struck him like a thunderbolt.Those guys at the airport!They switched the briefcase, but how?He couldn't remember feeling any slightest touch of their hands on his body or a switch. What was happening? Why was he a target?“Damn it! I knew you were a big disgrace to manhood! You are so incompetent!”“Even the slightest small thing can't be entrusted into your hands!”“You are such a loser! If I was in Gregory's family, I would have had you sent out!”Leo's brain swallowed their voices, assimilating and decoding every sentence. Beads of perspiration broke free on his temple.His mind went to Linda's statement: There briefcase on the table contains confidential information, take it with you to Phoenix and give it to the shareholders after the meeting. Note! It's confidential! Don't dare give it out to anyone other than the shareholders!”How was he supposed to handle Gregory's family, and the consequences of his actions?“I am sorry,
Heartbroken
Chapter Twelve Leo's head exploded at Linda's statement. Stunned, he glanced at Selena, Macbeth, Linx but none of them had a surprise look on their faces.It wasn't funny, but this only meant he would be free from any punishment that would have been dished his way.“Does that sound surprising to you?” Eliza inquired.“Uhm.. yeah…” Leo stammered, jolting to his feet.His hands unconsciously massage his nape as he breathes a silent sigh of relief.“Don't you want to know why I did that?”“Curiosity should be your speciality unless you are so dumb to even think!” Link murmured.“Of course he is dumb! What other signs do you want to see? Signs from the stars? It's only a dumb loser that will work as a waiter and dress so shambly like a loser of which,” Macbeth’s gaze travelled down Leo's body in silent assessment.“Obviously he is a loser!” He concluded.Leo gritted his teeth at the insult. Hell! Macbeth was his junior by five years yet, he hauled insult at him as though he was superior
Open Revelation
Chapter Thirteen Cold sweat broke out from Leo's temple as he shook with fright. His eyes widened, and his jaw locked. Seeing Leo’s reaction to her question, Selena smirked. “I guess the answer is no! So behave! I call the shot here!” Stepping away from him, Selena smiled. “Don't worry guys, Leo only threatened with the divorce but he doesn't mean it because he knows the stack at hand.” “He better do else he will live in regret for the rest of his miserable life!” Linda added detestfully. “I hope he won't forget that!” “In the meantime, there press media will ask for an interview or our opinion concerning the incident that occurred today, don't worry we will assure the public that it wasn't no fault of yours, rather it was a test to ascertain your worth!” Selena assured. Leo's heart leaped with excitement. At least, he would be vindicated in the eyes of the public, and everyone would see it wasn't any fault of his - he only followed ordered. “You lost your job as a waiter last
Dreams
Chapter FourteenAt Selena's statement, Leo blinked unbelievably. That wasn't what Selena promised!Why was she changing the script? Why? Couldn't she spill the truth at once?He realized something, truth and Selena were like water and fire - not compatible and couldn't relate.“Leo’s mistress? You caught them?”The breaking news caught the reporters off guards for a second. Their gaze settled silently on each other for a second before moving back to Selena.“Yes, I did.”“So who is this mistress? Don't you think you should reveal her identity for the world to see? You could confront her.”Report who doesn't exist? Selena mentally snicked. Jokes of the century.“I can't reveal her identity. It's not in my place to do that, besides, I will be violating her privacy.” Selena's voice shook with compassion.The statement was meant to reveal her considerate nature. And she was certain that it worked, judging by the approving nods from the reporters.“You mentioned that the lacy bra belonged
Caught Red-handed
Chapter Fifteen Leo smirked.Gregory Gomez's family were working right into his unforeseen trap, it seemed.“Has their intention been made official?”“No, not yet. But one of our spies informed me of their intention to submit a proposal for the deal.”Leo stared into the space, lost in thought.“Keep me updated.”“It's almost time to take what rightfully belongs to you! Please reconsider it.”The call ended after his words. Leo remained fixed at his spot. He would need to get a divorce from Selena, but how?The reason behind him not really pressing for a divorce was the fact that he still had a soft spot for Selena despite all odds.He was still in love with Selena.***HK enterprise“Babe,” the sound of her stiletto on the marble floor announced her arrival.There was only one person who was allowed to call her ‘babe’ - Amelia, the only supporting best friend she had.Amelia was her subordinate but that didn't stop her from being friends. On the other hand, Amelia was one of the tru
Desperate moves
Chapter Sixteen Leo sauntered inside, his eyes narrowed as it landed on the two ladies. “Hi,” Amelia greeted, waving a hand in his direction. Her ruffly smile followed her actions. Leo nodded, acknowledging Amelia's greeting with his gaze completely dedicated to Selena. Ignoring his question, Selena probed. “What are you doing here? And how dare you walk into my office without knocking!” Leo remained speechless, his silence indicated no clue about his thoughts. Why was he here? That wasn't the most important question right now. Leo concluded. Why were they discussing his sexuality when this building was clearly a business company. “You think I am gay?” Leo dropped the question on his mind, confirming Selena’s thoughts. She knew he heard her affirmation, but having him reiterate brought an unexplainable ache to her heart. “Are you gay?" Leo waited for a split second for an answer, certained there was none, he ignored Selena’s question, moving straight to do his task
Confession
Chapter Seventeen There was no way in hell she would let a piece of trash like marriage stop her success.Besides, it was a date with the top five multi-billionaire in the state - Mr. Hilary Dickson.Without blinking an eye, Selena's next words took Amelia by surprise.“I will have the lawyer draft our divorce paper.”“Really? You mean Jude Eric?”“Yes, but Jude Eric is dead. We have a new lawyer. I can't afford to have this marriage mess with my chances of being successful or reaching the top with prominent men like Mr. Hilary Dickson.”“Okay. How long will it take to have the divorce papers issued?”“In twenty four hours.” Selena dialed a number on her phone, issued out orders then ended the call. “Done.”“I will let Mr. Hilary Dickson knows about your decision.” Selena turned to go but stopped midway.With her head glancing back at Selena, she added with a smile.“Thank you for making the right decision. Honestly, this company deserves someone like you.”***It was 5:30 pm when Le
A surprise news
Chapter 18Selena's statement left Linda paralyzed. Her eyes widened at the audacity.She glanced around to ensure no one was within earshot. Satisfied, Linda gaze averted to Selena whose calm composure shook her hard.“You did what?”“I drugged Leo and slept with him.”At the horrific look on Linda's face, Selena quickly added. “I didn't really have sex with him but I made it look like one. I had Leo completely naked and together I took some pictures as evidence then sent it anonymously to Amelia.”“It wasn't personal.” She assured Linda.“But of all people, Leo?” Linda wasn't going to be judgemental, but the thought of it didn't settle down with her.“You see…”“I am not scolding you for taking Leo from Amelia, besides if you look at it from a different perspective, Leo wasn't bad. He is good looking…”“Exactly! He is too handsome to be Amelia's man.” Selena cut in with a frown.“Despite the fact that he lives a low life. A peasant with no status.”“The idea of Amelia, my subordinat
Divorce
Chapter NineteenThe divorce papers were prepared by the new lawyer after Selena put a call through. It was effortless and seamless.She couldn't afford to lose a million dollars worth of projects all because of a loser husband.Selena had brushed the topic of her intending divorce to Gregory's family, and after deliberate consideration, they had agreed to it.Leo blinked repeatedly at the documents right in front of him. Perplexity covered his face as he gazed at Selena, blanking the rest out.“A divorce?”“ A divorce?” Eliza mimicked dramatically. Cold contempt crossed her face sending the humour out. “Sign the damn papers!”“We can't afford to be doing charity work with you. Probably, the orphanage could adopt a loser like you.” Linda sneered.“You wouldn't be getting any alimony from this family.”Leo’s eyes flickered to Macbeth.“Yes, no divorce settlement for you!” Linda crossed her hands over her body. “We are supposed to get compensation for emotionally damaging our daughter
Hatred
Chapter TwentyLeo smiled widely.This was the time to claim back what truly belonged to him. He wanted revenge but at the expense of what?Leo got into his maybach.“Sire,” the chauffeur in the driver's seat glanced back at him. “Where do you want us to go?”“Diego, give me a minute.”Leo pulled out his burner phone from his coat, he turned it on and clicked the dialed button.After the second ring, a masculine voice answered the call.“Any news?”“The divorce papers have been signed. I am finally done with that family.”“Good, now you can claim your inheritance and the company. Do you want the D&K company? Your position awaits you.”Silence reigned for a second. “Yes, I am ready to claim it.”“Good,” the voice smiled. “I will announce the arrival of the new CEO to the press media. In the meantime, we will throw a banquet party for you.”“A banquet party? Is that necessary?”“Yes, the world needs to know that a new CEO is taking over.”Leo smirked. Perfect opportunity.“Invite the t
