Leon groaned, pain raking throughout his body.His eyes fluttering open, the sun rays from the open window made him shut back his eyes instinctively as he sat up.After a while, Leon opened his eyes again, adapting to the lighting of the room.The rain had long stopped and it was morning already. The sun had risen, and the faint bustling sound of the city reached his ears.Looking around in the unfamiliar area, Leon's face scrunched up as he tried to know where he was.The room was a large luxurious one. A bandage had been wrapped around his forehead and arms.His clothes had been changed, which made Leon's frown deeper, wondering who had changed his clothes.If he remembered correctly, his wife kicked him out right after serving him with the divorce papers.A flicker of anger flashed in his eyes as he thought of this. But he quickly suppressed it.Then as he was wandering around in the rain, he was hit by a speeding car.Before he lost consciousness, he heard the driver's voice and f

Hours later, Leon and Camila stepped out of the marriage Bureau, holding their marriage certificate."Now that we are married, I'd suppose you can move in. I've got enough room," Camila said, walking towards her car while Leon followed."Sure," Leon agreed without a second thought. This would only make things easier, and that was for the best."I..."Just as Camila was about to say something, her phone rang."Excuse me," She said, forcing a smile before answering the phone and stepping away.Leon watched, a light flickered in his eyes as he didn't know how to feel.Though Camila didn't know him and had only met him today, she respected him like a normal human would.Her treatment was far better than what he had spent with Katie and her family.Well, that was a thing of the past. Besides, he didn't care about the family anymore."Sorry about that," Camila's voice sounded, pulling Leon back to his senses."I'll have to leave right now, there's an emergency I need to handle at the compan

"Master, we've arrived," Dark Knight broke the silence, glancing at Leon who had his head on the seat as they pulled up before a magnificent hall."Alright," Leon muttered, alighting from the car.After treating Dark Knight, he went to get a pair of new clothes. Though not formal, it was enough to attend the banquet.While buying the clothes, he had asked Dark Knight about Camila.It turned out that his new wife was from one of the top families in Oakdale and also the eldest daughter of the family.The Ashford Family.Well, he wasn't too surprised, he had guessed her identity. But he still hadn't expected it."Sir, here," Dark Knight suddenly called, handing Leon a dark wrapped bag as he was about to walk into the building."What's this?" Leon frowned slightly, taking the bag from Dark Knight."Since you're attending a birthday banquet, I felt it wouldn't be befitting if you had no gift, so I prepared one.""I see," Leon muttered, staring at the bag."Thanks."With that, he turned aro

The hall fell silent, everyone stared at Leon incredulously, not believing their eyes.Allen's face burned, eyes red as he glared at Leon, wishing he could cut the latter into a thousand pieces.Camila, though shocked, smiled lightly. She had been a bit worried Leon would cave in to her brother's threat.But it seemed like she was thinking too much. Though a pauper, he seemed to have some backbone.Seemed like she had accidentally picked up a gem. Well, she wanted to see how far he could go."Good, very good," Allen broke into laughter, pulling everyone back to their senses."I like you,""But I don't," Leon shot back.Again, the hall fell silent, no one daring to say anything. And even Camila was shocked even more.He was just too straightforward.In truth, no one would like someone like Allen, but no one would dare say it to his face. Yet, her husband had done that."You..." Allen gritted his teeth, glaring daggers at Leon."You've successfully pissed me off," He forced a smile, his

The next second, under the watchful gaze of everyone, the old lady gasped, as she opened her eyes."Grandmother!" Camila screamed, hugging Anna who was still gasping for air."Careful, she's not too good yet," Leon chuckled, pulling Camila away."Impossible," The doctor's eyes nearly flew out of their sockets as he rushed towards Anna.Bringing out his equipment, he began to examine her. A while later, he nearly collapsed as he couldn't believe what he had seen.The poison was all gone. How did Leon do it?Though the process looked simple on the surface, he could swear it was not simple at all."Grandmother, let me help you," Leon ignored the doctor, helping Anna stand."Leon," Anna called softly, feeling a wave of guilt in her heart."Yes, grandmother," Leon smiled gently, he didn't hold the old woman's disbelief on her.After all, even if he was the one, he wouldn't have believed it."I'm sorry for not believing in what you said," Anna said slowly."It's fine, grandmother, I underst
