stopping her

Austin POVI stood there rooted to the spot as Leslie walked away.The words she said echoed in my head. Leslie Grayson. Granddaughter of Harold Grayson.Harold Grayson was a legend in the business world. A ruthless tycoon who built an empire from scratch and was known for never forgiving a slight. A man who didn't even have a photo of himself in any public domain. It would be a miracle to catch one or two pictures of his interviews or videos which didn't last on the media for twenty four hours.And Leslie was his granddaughter?All those years, she was the heiress to one of the biggest empires in the country. And I never knew.I felt like a fool.A complete and utter fool.She had lied to me. For three years, she had let me believe she was an orphan with no one but me.Something akin to dread filled me, a thin sweat trickled down my back.I was married to the heiress of Grayson Holdings. No, I made a fool out of something with such an identity?What did I do?" Mr Cox, did you reach

we are leaving

Leslie POV Lydia was grinning from ear to ear after I narrated my earlier encounter with Austin." I wish I wasn't there to see the look on his face." She giggled happily." It was ugly to be honest." I confessed." But satisfying. That's what matters." She countered." I have news for you." She added, her expression turning from playful to serious." What news?" I asked." Someone is looking into your identity." She revealed." Oh that? They won't need to since I have made it public already." I replied, taking a sip of my latte.I expected Lydia's face to relax. Only that it didn't and that spoke volumes." The dark web?" I asked and she nodded." Have you identified the person?" I asked and Lydia shook her head." It's the dark web, ofcourse they won't comes with their real names.I have arranged a meet with them after he insisted despite turning him down." She explained." What's the catch?" I asked, raising my brows at her. Lydia looked away, clearly avoiding my gaze." I don't k

my family

Leslie POV Lydia and I walked away but not without her sending a glare towards the duo." The nerve of that scheming bitch. How dare she try to embarrass you?" Lydia was still fuming a minute later even after we left the cafe." Drop it Lydia. You are just going to ruin your mood thinking about them." I advised her.Ignoring them and moving past that incidence was the right ticket to mental stability. I was not going to allow a pair of cheating bastards to ruin my good mood." Leslie, I can't do that. I can't remain composed and restrained like you when provoked." Lydia confessed. She wasn't lying about that." That's why you need a calm head to handle people like them." I said." Fine. I will try." She grumbled.After saying my good byes to Lydia, my chauffeur drove me back home.When we parked the car, I noticed a rather familiar limousine parked outside the driveway.I immediately knew who it was and as I got out of the car, I saw Mikhail standing near the entrance door leaning ag

back in Florida

Leslie POVMikhail turned to me, a lazy smile spreading across his lips." We were just discussing the wedding. I was telling him that my mother would love to meet her future daughter in-law soon." He said." And I was telling him that there is no rush." My grandfather countered, his eyes twinkling with mischief. I could tell that he was enjoying this.Mikhail's smile widened, and he turned back to my grandfather." Harold, with all due respect, I have waited three years for your granddaughter. I think I have been patient enough." He said.The casual use of my grandfather's name had me raising an eyebrow. I had never seen anyone address him so informally, yet my grandfather didn't seem to mind. In fact, he seemed to approve." Patience is a virtue, my boy." My grandfather replied, his tone laced with amusement. " But I see your point. Let's talk about the wedding."I watched as they easily fell into a conversation about the wedding, their voices a low murmur in the vast dining room.I

somewhere

Mikhail POVI sat in my limousine, my eyes focused on the feed playing on my laptop. Damon was set to meet Shadow inside the abandoned warehouse and although the meeting was meant to be harmless, that didn't mean I would allow my man to walk blindly into a meeting that could possible be a death trap. When he informed me that shadow had agreed to meet us physically, I was over joyed until he told me he had offered them five times the price listed under his portfolio. Don't get me wrong, money is not a problem but after being in the mobster ever since I turned fourteen, I knew that money made people do crazy stuff and this was suspicious as hell. Shadow was and is still known as the best hacker in the dark web. It's said that there is nothing he can't solve which involves computers, coding and decoding. His price is something that not many people can't afford hence very few people purchase his services. Let's not even mention how elusive he really is. My men and I have been tracki

mr Volkov

Leslie povWhen I asked Mikhail to accompany me somewhere, I wasn't expecting to agree immediately.. I thought he would tease me first before agreeing so imagine the surprise when he said, " Sure, tell me when."He didn't ask where we were going or what we were going to do. It's like he trusted me fully." I will pick you up after work. " I said, a little flustered by his easy agreement." I will be waiting. " He replied before ending the call.I stared at my phone, a strange feeling bubbling in my chest.I was not used to this Mikhail. The one who was easygoing and accommodating.I needed something for Pearl jewels, something that my grand father's clean business reputation would not get me. But with Mikhail, he could enter and leave such places without raising questions from the media. Lydia who was sitting opposite me looked at me with anticipation when the call ended. " Well? What did he say?" She asked and I nodded. "He agreed? That easily?" Lydia asked, surprised. I too was s

this woman

Leslie POVThe man turned to look at me with a look that screamed ' what is a woman doing here'I wanted to feel offended but then I remembered this was probably a place of no woman. Isn't it why I asked Mikhail to accompany me in the first place? " I once tried to access the inside but was thrown outside." That's what Lydia told me when I expressed my interest of attending the auction here. She was also the one who suggested I ask Mikhail to accompany me. " With Volkov by your side, you will be allowed entrance." She had said.She was not wrong." This is my woman." Mikhail said, his tone casual but the message was clear.The man's smile widened." My apologies, Madam. " He said, bowing his head again.Mikhail pulled me towards one of the sofas, and we sat down." So, what are we here for? " He asked, once the attendant had poured us some champagne." Midnight." I replied. The room went drop dead silence. The man serving us even paused for a split second. Mikhail looked at me as if

thank you

Leslie POV Lydia? What was Lydia's picture doing in Mikhail's phone? And he was looking for her? Mikhail was looking for Lydia?" Do you recognise her?" Mikhail's asked, still observing me. I could swear he was testing me. Did he know my relationship with Lydia? But wait...the woman in the picture was Indeed Lydia but in her camouflage face." How is that possible?" I asked, returning his phone and trying to act as normal as possible. Mikhail narrowed his eyes at me but still took back his phone." Why did you need her? You want to keep her as your toy?" I asked, trying to be provocative, not caring how he would react. All I wanted was to get myself out of this mix and avoid raising any suspicion. " No, but her services are needed." He replied, playing along." Services?" I probed, raising an eyebrow." I want to hire Shadow for a job. Only this person has direct contact with him." He said, watching for my reaction.I had to play this carefully." A job for Shadow?" I repeated, lett
