Falling for you

Chapter 11

Leo could barely control his anger. 

He walked down to the living room where everyone was having dinner and ordered Adonis and Athena to meet him in the office. 

In the dimly lit confines of chalet's office, Leo paced back and forth, his mind consumed by thoughts of Leanna. 

Adonis entered cautiously while Athena walked in in with her head held high a bored look on her face. 

"Sit down, both of you!" Leo demanded, trying his to best to control the rage inside of him. 

Adonis was now concerned as he sat down, a frown forming on his face. "What's going on Leo?"

Leo glared at his siblings and took a seat in front of him. 

"Do you have anything to say Athena?" Leo asked, locking eyes with his sister.

Adonis looked between them, confused. "Did I miss something?" he asked again, looking at Athena. 

"ATHENA!" Leo yelled, finally losing his patience.

Adonis sat up and backed away from his siblings. He had never seen his brother this angry and he didn't want to find out what things he was capable of while angry.

Athena sighed and met Leo's gaze. "So she told you?" she said in a bored tone.

Leo scoffed at her tone. "Are you being for real right now? You beat up someone and yet you have no remorse or accountability for your actions?"

Adonis widened his eyes. "Athena, who the hell did you beat up? That's not like you!" Adonis said in disbelief. 

Athena rolled her eyes and shook her head. "That bitch is exaggerating. Don't listen to everything she says Leo."

Athena's response added more fuel to Leo's rage. "I saw what you did to her myself. Watch your tone when answering me."

Adonis watched in shock. He had never seen his siblings fight like this before. 

"Athena, what was that about?" Leo demanded, his voice laced in anger. "Why did you do it?"

Athena's expression remained impassive as she regarded her brother with a cool detachment. "I had my reasons, Leo," she replied coldly. "You'll thank me in the end." She grabbed a magazine on the table and started flipping through it nonchalantly. 

But Leo was in no mood for her games, his patience wearing thin as he struggled to contain the simmering rage that threatened to consume him. "I don't need your interference, Athena," he shot back, his voice tinged with bitterness. "Why the hell did you hit her?"

Athena ignored Leo and continued flipping the magazine in her hands. 

Leo, irritated by his younger sister, snatched the magazine from her hands and threw it on the floor. 

Athena shot him a dirty look as she stood up to face him. "Leanna Moreau? Are you serious Leonidas? You could do so much better!"

Leo laughed in amusement as he watched his sister glare at him. "I'll decide what's better for me Athena. Stay the hell out of my business and stop putting your hands on people. It doesn't suit you."

"You can't be serious Leo. Leanna will only bring shame to our family. She's turning 26 and hasn't had a prospect in years. Why do think that is?" Athena questioned, her eyes shooting daggers at Leo. 

Leo's jaw clenched in anger at Athena's callous words, his fists balling at his sides as he fought to contain the rising tide of rage within him. "That's enough, Athena," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Age doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you either. I won't stand by and let you degrade her like this."
