The picture.

"I swear if you do not stop laughing like this... I'll... I'll kill you! YOU MANIAC!!!!"

Loren was getting scared of how Alexander was behaving, a day ago he was being all mad unlike his usual self. he even broke the table in front of her eyes, Loren has never seen him ever like that and now this sudden laughing which was making him look like a maniac in her eyes, Loren just sit there looking at his face

"Sister, you're so funny! if you think. then it's wrong! I'm not gonna fall for your jokes"

Jokes? Loren just Stared at him weirdly, she didn't even cracked a joke, what joke he is talking about, Alexander spoke between his laughter, even he saying that he won't fall for her joke, he was the only one laughing here on HER joke. when she didn't even said anything funny, Loren was getting annoyed of his behavior. all she wanted is to talk about Leo and here Alexander was laughing like crazy

"I think we should talk when you will be in your right mindset!"

Loren stood up and walked towards her room leaving the laughing Alexander behind, Alexander was still laughing but his laugh slowly started to fade away and turned into a peaceful silence.

He felt himself free and relieved as if everything he was going through never existed, he felt empty and he was surely liking that emptiness, all these years he was so full of emotions and regrets but at this very moment he didn't felt anything, just a moment ago he was laughing like crazy and now he was all calm, his moods were changing like a speed of light

Resting his head back he stared at the ceiling calmly before standing up as he walked towards the stairs with the slow steps as if he didn't had the energy to even walk

"Yea yea! Just tell me about what I asked!"

Standing on the bridge, Leo was leaning back on his bike standing near the River as he was talking to someone on his phone, asking the person on the other side to tell him what he asked but the caller was just making nonsense excuses

"Yes, sir I'm trying to do my best but you know there is some problem going on here so I'll call you later"

The person on the other side just hang up the call on Leo's face while Leo just stood there with his jaw dropped, was he the boss here or them? tilting his head to the side he kicked the ground with the boots he was wearing, every person he asked to help him was just making excuses and excuses on one was worthy of doing his work

An annoyed sigh left his mouth as he stared at the water, his brain wasn't working right he didn't know what to do. because now that he told Oliver that he would find Amelia but here he was standing with nothing in his hands.

"What do I do now!"

A sudden idea popped, in his mind and the first person came was Dom, he again puld out the phone from his pocket and dialed Dom's number, it was ringing and ringing but Dom didn't picked up making Leo more annoyed

"What the hell is wrong with him now!!"

Being a short tempered Leo was about to throw his phone in the water but controlled himself, right now this phone was the only one helping him and he can't just throw it away, Leo just shook his head and hopped back on his bike to have a little survey of the surroundings to fresh his mind.

Stopping the bike in front of a book store he got down and walked inwards,

wondering around he was just looking at the books when something caught his attention, A magazine that he knew very well, the cover clearly says "Loren manner" the name of Loren's fashion designing company, picking it up he go though all the pages but stopped at one, the one which contains Loren's picture

Loren sometimes works as a model to promote her own brand and there it was. Leo had no interest in anything but Loren he just stared at her photo, taking the Magazine as he go to the cashier

"Hello! can I buy this one?"

Leo spoke and the Cashier just nodded his head before taking the magazine from Leo's hand the cashier did his job before giving it back to Leo, taking it back Leo paid the bill and walked out of the store

Putting the magazine on his bike he again turned every page aggressively and stopped at the exact paper which showed Loren's photo, staring at it as long as he could before turning his head up as he looked at the sky covered with clouds showing the same emotions as him. dark and gloomy. the tears didn't dare to hold them back but Leo controlled himself and looked down again

Ripping her photo apart from the magazine he clinched into a ball and throw it on the ground just to stare at it, he was going thought so many mixed emotions ~
