(Two days later)
"My whole fucking body hurts," I said as I got out of the car.
"You just need some rest," Bryce said and I locked the door
"Not until I have something to eat," I said as the maids hurried to our car to unpack our luggages from the vehicle
Bryce opened the front door for me and I walked in.
"Such a gentleman" I teased and he rolled his eyes playfully.
First I went to Leon's room but he was already fast asleep. Placing a kiss on his forehead I quietly closed his door and went to my room and got a shower. Getting dressed in my pj's I went back downstairs and to the kitchen.
Bryce was there preparing something for us to eat.
Because you know....
I can't cook...
I know I should be ashamed of myself but whenever I try I failed badly
I mean I have a kid now I can't even make him a proper breakfast without burning something.
Grabbing two glass cups and a bottle of tequila I took a seat on the counter. Pouring the same portion into both glasses I handed him one.
Taking a sip from my glass I leaned back on the wall but leaned up when I felt a sharp pain.
"You know that guy really hit me hard," I said while touching the swollen area in the back of my head.
"Let me see," Bryce said while coming towards me
Showing him the area he touched it.
"Don't touch it idiot" I said before hitting him hard
"Ouch" he groaned while backing up
Rolling my eyes at how dramatic he was acting, he walked to the refrigerator.
"Put this on it," he said before handing me an icepack.
Placing the icepack on the area he went back to cooking.
"Leon said he saw Leo the other night," I said and he looked up.
"Yeah I saw him too," he said and I dropped the icepack
"Don't worry I doubt he figured out Leon is his plus I checked with the guards he never came back" he said
"Bryce Leon is a spitting image of Leo the only way he doesn't figure out, is if he's blind. We are leaving tomorrow" I said
"Ok, so what if he knows. I'm here for you two. He can't hurt.." he said
"If no one is getting hurt it's him," I said while picking up the ice pack and throwing it into the bin.
He remained in silence as we ate then went out separate ways.
Choosing to sleep next to my son for the night I laid down before he found my arms.
••••••>>>
"Wake up" someone whispers into my ear before I received pokes in my side.
"Go away" I groaned
"Mommy wake up," he said a little louder and I opened my eyes. He jumped over to the other side of the bed before giving me an adorable smile.
"Oh good your awake. Good morning mommy" he said as if he wasn't the one who woke me up.
"Good morning kiddo," I said softly as I rubbed my eyes
"Can we go downstairs now I'm starving" He asked
"Okay," I said while sitting up lazily.
Yawning I stretched my arms out.
"Come let's go brush our teeth," I said and he ran to the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth I washed his face then did the same to myself.
Handing him a towel he wiped his face as I did the same.
"Okay let's go now," I said and we went straight to the kitchen. The sweet aroma of the food hit me and my mouth started to water.
"Mhm," I moaned at the delight and Bryce smiled at us.
Sometimes I wish I could love him the way he loves me. But I can't no matter how hard I try
I was in love with Leo
And only him
And I hated that.
•••••••
"Your father is asking to meet with you miss Valentino," one of our maids said and I nod
"Okay thank you," I said while standing to my feet and the maid left
"I want to know everything that happens when I get back," I said after giving Bryce my popcorn bowl
"Yes madam," he said playfully and I smiled
"I'll be right back," I said to Leon while ruffling his hair.
Walking to my father's office my phone buzzed in my pocket. Fishing it out I read the message.
Hey, it's Olivia. Heard you were back
Olivia and I sometimes communicate over the phone but as soon she asks what happened between Leo and I, I ignored it. I ignored her.
I'm such a horrible friend
Yeah, I had business here. I apologize for not hitting you up but the sad thing is I leave soon. How about we meet up the next time I come back
"Hey, dad what's up?" I asked while walking into the office.
"Your flight was canceled," he said and I raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" I asked while closing the door.
"I want you to stay for a few days"
"Why?" I asked
"I can't say"
"Then I'm leaving," I said and he looked up at me.
"This is your home and things have cooled down now....."
"I like it there. In fact, it's my home now"
"You're staying Liliana," He said before looking back at the documents on his desk
"I'm an adult I can make my own decision," I said and he looked at me
"Your staying and that's final now I have a meeting, I need to get to," he said before standing and leaving the room
Sighing I kicked the vase off the small glass table.
Exiting the room Bryce and Leon was coming my way
"Your dad just asked me to join him at some meeting I thought we were leaving..."
"I changed my mind we're staying a little longer," I said and he nod.
"Okay well he's waiting outside so I'll see you two later," he said before walking off.
"I want waffles", Leon said
"It's noon kiddo"
"Please mommy" he pouts and I sighed
"Okay let's go", I said and we walked to the kitchen
I hope the chef is there
Walking into the empty kitchen I groaned.
"Don't worry mom there's a fire extinguisher if nothing goes wrong" he said and I chuckled.
Walking to the cabinet I grabbed the ingredients for the waffle.
"You want sausages with it?" I asked and he nod.
Scratching my head I sighed when I finally found the pots. Taking my phone out I researched a recipe.
Placing the pot on medium heat I washed my hands
>>>>>
"Mom something is burning," Leon said and I ran to the waffle maker. Opening it the waffles were the definition of black.
"Mom the sausages" Leon I quickly turned the stove off. I grabbed the pot by it's handle before placing it in the sink
Turning the water on, the flames disappeared.
Fuck
"I'm sorry sweetheart. We can go out if you want" I said and he smiled before coming towards me.
Groaning I covered my face in embarrassment. I felt so disappointed and useless right now.
"Don't be sorry mom at least you tried" he said before hugging my legs.
Hearing someone chuckle we looked up.
"Maybe you should stick to knives and guns princess the kitchen isn't your scene"
Grabbing a knife I threw it to the side of his head. Anger boiling inside me as I glared at his stupid handso...his face.
His smirk never left his lips as he took the knife out of the door.
"You missed," he said and I gave him a fake smile
"Oh no she wanted to miss. You should see that photo I was telling you about..." Leon started and I placed my hand over his mouth
"Okay, kiddo that's enough. Go get your shoes we're going out" I said and he nod before running out of the room.
"Hey, princess-"
"Don't call me that" I said as he walked towards me
"You look beautiful-"
"Why don't we just cut the crap, Leo. What do you want?" I said while sending him death glares.
"I was being serious. You look beautiful" he said. Stopping in front of me he looked down at me.
"You don't know how bad I want to twist my fucking knife into your heart right now," I said while looking into his eyes.
Hurt flashed across his eyes but he quickly covered it up
"Do it" he said while placing the knife in my hands.
"Do it. I deserve it right so do it" he said after pulling my hand up and placing the tip of the knife where his heart was located.
Looking into his eyes I pulled away when Leon walked back into the room.
"I can't find any of them", he said
"Oh yeah I forgot there in your suitcases," I said
"Well then you can unpack since your flight was canceled"
Turning around to him I grabbed his jacket suit
"You so lucky I'm in love with you," he said while looking at his jacket.
Inlove with me?
No, he's lying
"You had something to do with this didn't you," I asked and the look he gave me said yes
"Fucking asshole" I whispered so only he could hear.
"I hate you" I mouthed
"I know that," he said before pulling my hands off his jacket.
Pulling my hands away from his my ring fell off. It was still a little too big for my finger so I wasn't surprised.
We both looked at it and he bend down and took it up.
"You kept it," he asked
"Yes now shove it where the sun doesn't shine" I gave him a fake smile before turning to Leon
"Let's go kiddo," I said while taking his hand and Leo grabbed mine
"Aren't you-"
"Leon go to your room," I said and he left.
Grabbing Leo by his balls he released my hand
"Don't ever touch me again"
"I thought you loved when I touch-"
He was cut off when I applied more pressure on squeezing his balls. His jaw clenched tightly and he stared down at me.
"Fuck Liliana stop" he groaned in pain. What can I say I wasn't going easy on him
"Not until I get some things clear in your head. Coming here after threatening to kill me was a fucking death wish. You are not dead because of one fucking reason. Stay the fuck away from us" I said then released him before turning around to walk away.
He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me towards him as his other hand went down to his cock.
"Never do that again" he growled at me.
"And I'm not going to stay away," he said
He looked down at my lips and I pushed him away.
"Fuck you, Leo. Don't you have a family, just stay away from us" I said and walked out.
"You can't just keep him away from me" I heard him shout. Ignoring him I walked to Leon's room
I don't know what he thought he was going to accomplish by coming here.
Maybe a gunshot in the head or a knife in his heart
The only reason he's still alive is because of Leon
Lies lies lies
Ignoring my subconscious I opened the door to find the room empty.
"Leon" I called out
"Hey, Mister" looking up I saw Leon.
Straightening up he walked towards me.
"You okay?" he asked and I nod before he grinned.
"I'm Leon," he said while holding out his small palm
"Leo," I said before shaking his hands.
"Valentino?" he asked and I nod
"Are you my dad?" he asked
"Maybe you should ask your mom," I said and he frowned.
"It's a yes or a no question," he said and we both shoved our hands into our pockets at the same time.
Damn I love this kid
"Yes"
