“It’s not flattery, it’s the truth” Asstasta agreed and Megam nodded, the two agreeing on the 

Leomica couldn’t help but shake her head, but deep down, she was burning hot with a blush canned from her friends teasing. 

“So, when’s the wedding?” 

Leona looked up, meeting her friends eyes and they could see the untreitainty swirling in her Caren eyes. 

“Well,” Leonica hesitated, but the pause in her sentence was enough for her friends who knew her to well, to know the reason behind the uncertainty in her eyes. “No, did not do that to that sweet man.” Anastasia gasped, and Megan looked at Leonica with disappointment.. 

“Leonica” 

“I wasn’t sure if I was ready.” Leonica defended, holding her hands up, “With everything going on I wasn’t sure if it’d be the right time to start planning a 

“Are you adding me? You should have at least said yes.” Anastasia stated, placing her hands on her hips 

“That’s a bit inconsiderate. It she wasn’t ready, then she wasn’t.” Megan defended, 

“Well, thank you for standing up for me.Leonica smiled, looking at Megan 

“You’re welcome.” 

“Oh, whatever.” Anastasia groaned gulped her entire glass of wine, before getting up to fetch another one. 

“Don’t mind her,” Megan spoke, noticing Leonica’s look “So, how did own feel about this? your answer I invan?” 

Leonica thought back to their conversation after they had left his family Villa and a smile graced her lips. “He was okay with my awer. He even promised he’d 

And are you?” Megan asked while glancing at the same engagement ring which now adored herring finger. 

Leonciled widely and nodded. “I think so.” 

Megan mitered her smile. “I’m glad you’ve found someone like, Leonica, I’m really happy for you 

“Thank you, Meg.‘ 

The rest of that conversation died down when Anastasia’s phone vibrated a few times with several text messages and then a call entered. 

“Ana, you’ve got a call “Megan called out to her. 

*Leave it,” Anastasia called back almost as if she knew who was calling and as the call ended, Leonica briefly caught sight of Lloyd’s name written across her 

Lloyd? Her brows mowed as she tried to process why Lloyd was calling her friend a mad man. 

Was it a business.call? 

If not, did Anastasia ignore her waming that one time? 

Leonica’s questions were answered when Anastasia tied to her. 

“Hey Leo, have you ever slept with someone you’re not in a relationship with She aslird 

The question was a shocker, not just to Lepnira, but Megan as well. 

When a memory was tinggreed, teica chocked on her wine, coughing a few times. This caused both of her best friends to give her a look of suspicion 

“Mbat ?” Leoni a was quick to respond “I would never” she passed, recalling the time Gabriel had gaten drugged and things escalated quickly after she found

– Was Definitely Hiding Something 

Thankfully, it seemed like either of them had the zeal to pursue the matter. The moment Anastasia was back in her seat, and after silencing a few more calls, sh moved onto a new matter. 

*50, Leonica, are you ever going to reveal the fact that you’re Tyche?” She asked.

Her question got Leonica thinking for a while before she nodded her head. “Yes, I plan on doing so at some point. Perhaps when the company hands.” 

“You mean out of Melvin’s hand?” Megan asked. 

Much to her surprise, Leonica shook her head. “Melvin isn’t the enemy. Rodrigo is. He always has been.” 

“Huh, it Melvin isn’t the enemy, then why’d you want to take the company from him?” Anastasia asked. 

“I have my own reasons for that.” Leonica said after a few seconds taken to ponder the question and offered her best friends a smile that they could see didn’t quite teach her eyes. 

She was definitely hiding something. 

But neither Anastasia nor Megan had the will power to try and probe any further. 

Instead, they both nodded. 

“Is that so? Well whatever it is, I wish you luck.” 

The days leading up to the inauguration drew closer and closer by the day, and with each passing minute, the air of anticipation grew stronger. 

Rodrigo, the most eager out of all of them, couldn’t contain his excitement, which was evident on the day of the inauguration. 

Even though it was still the morning, his mood was already at an all time high. 

“ch, good morning Mr. Rodrigo, are you prepared for your nephew’s inauguration?” One of the workers fixing up the venue’s decorations greeted as he passed him. “Sure am. Today’s going to be a great day 

“Great! We’re excited to see you up there on stage today, Mr. Rodrigo. Your nephew is a luely guy, having you by his side.” 

The worker’s comment lett Rodrigo smiling as he nodded. “Thanks, I’m excited to be here.” 

As the worker went on his way, Rodrigo’s smile tumed sinister. 

Today was indeed a great day. 

A great day for him and he couldn’t wait until it started. 

Later that evening at Leonica’s Vila, she stood in front of the mirror, admiring the outfit she had chosen for the inauguration today.

A smile formed on Owen lips and he couldn’t resist kissing her. 

The loss was slow, soft and tender, but passionate nonetheless. 

However, much to their dismay, they had to pull away when a series of knocks on the door sounded.
