He was the Young Master of Titan Group and the sole heir to the Nell family fortune. Titan Group was one of the largest conglomerates in the country, with businesses in property, the financial industry, shopping malls and many more.
However, Leonard was different from the typical heir. He maintained a low profile and took care to keep his life private.
Bell's plan of using Phoebe to form an alliance with the Nell family was a smart move. No wonder he had been so polite to Leonard.
I secretly trailed Leonard for a few days and somewhat familiarised myself with his routine. During those few days, he only met up with Phoebe once.
It seemed that these soon-to-be newlyweds were not as lovey-dovey as they ought to be. Leonard did not have dalliances with any other women either.
I felt a little gratified by this. Did this mean that I had meant something to him?
Most of his mornings were spent at his company's headquarters. He went shopping for luxury items twice, attended a banquet on his own once, and spent most of his nights at his villa.
During the six months that we were together, we had spent our nights in hotel rooms a dozen times. This was the first time that I had seen his villa, and it was obvious that he was a cautious man.
However, since I now knew about his secret lair, I had to get some evidences. I took out my phone to take a photo.
Right before I could do so, someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind. I turned around in panic, feeling a little guilty, and met a cold gaze.
"Queena, have you had fun trailing me?"
"I wasn't the one who started this, Queena. You served yourself to me on a silver platter!" Leonard turned around and glared at me.
He was gripping me so tightly that it was impossible for me to break free. Deep down, I knew that I was still harbouring a glimmer of hope despite my loathing for him. It made me mad at myself.
He dragged me into the living room, and it was obvious from the villa's silence that he was its only occupant. It was exquisitely decorated, though, reflecting its owner's tastes.
He shoved me onto the sofa and pounced on me before I could even gather my wits.
His hot breath fanned over my face and neck as his hands sneaked beneath my skirt.
