At least she was beautiful

It just so happened that his fear was now a reality.

Kahlan, Yes! Kahlan has found out about his nauseous habit as his subordinates had reported to him.

He was told how Minty had bullied and had gone to far doing it . Also, the footage...

He tried his best to portray the character of a prince charming, a gentleman with a scholarly vibe, all his plans were slowly falling to place but that cafe and the stupid waitress ruined his plans.

Now, he dared not think Kahlan viewed him the same way she did before.

Leo was indeed forgetting, everything was his fault from the beginning but he was blaming Minty and the cafe.

He thought of that soft body in his arms whenever he hugged her, that gentle voice and shy face anytime he whispered sweet nothings in her ears, that makes him want to pinch her cheeks.

Truthfully, she was adorable, she could not help him achieve much when it comes to elevating his status, he didn't mind keeping her as a mistress.

At least she was beautiful.

His plans were foiled and now he needed to think of another solution. There was no time anymore.

He could pacify Kahlan, lié to her and make up some excuse as to why he had cheated till she forgives him and trusts him again.

But he would need a lot of time to get all these done and he didn't have such time anymore.

Maya needed the umbilical cord, he couldn't delay it anymore. He didn't want his childhood sweetheart to die or her family to worry about her condition anymore.

He wouldn't let them down. He made a resolute decision, one cannot determine how fate would turn out...he was unwilling to let go of Maya.

Maya was the only woman that he truly liked and he decided to go through all these just to keep her safe.

He couldn't say he loved her so much, he could only say she had a special place in his heart.

Therefore,

he only had one trump card left... violently making kahlan succumb to his desire, that was the only way. Didn't they all say,

It didn't matter how one carries out a mission as long as it yields the same result.

He wanted to peacefully get over with it but Kahlan didn't know what was good for her and found out about his lifestyle. He thought, sneering in his heart.

She shouldn't blame him for being heartless.

He raised his head meeting the straight face of his subordinate.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, furrowing his brows...

"Since it's turned out like this, we have to take action". he said

He knew his subordinate was indeed right and was conspicuously blaming him for the failure of their well thought out plan.

But he was the boss here! The boss!

Even though his subordinate had complaints, he should hold it in and not complain. Shouldnt he?

He left him no place to hide his face, advertently crush his ego with his taut choice of words.

The cold man before him unhurriedly glanced at him, shaking his head.

He pitied the young woman that was being targeted for no reason, he's been ordered to watch her for some time now and he felt she was a little lady that has been through a lot and just wants to live out her life peacefully.

Yet, some vile people won't just let her do so.

Sigh!

He could only blame her luck for being born into a family as useless as the Cypher family.

"I'm at your command boss" The injured subordinate hurriedly exclaimed, straightening his tall body.

Leo nodded, calmly tapping his index finger on the table. This is how a subordinate should behave...he thought.

"Arrange a room for us and drug her, she has to carry a baby that would be used to save Maya's life" said Leo resting his back on the chair.

"And after that?" the other subordinate's cold voice rang out.

"We save Maya of course!" said Leo scoffing.

The subordinate frowned as disdain flashed in his eyes.

He hated this kind of men who only used and dumped people, he wanted to make the innocent woman pregnant with his child. Then use the child to save his lover.

He was unbelievable!
