Chapter 31
Leon, a business mogul, is at the airport waiting for Annika, his romantic interest. He’s anxious because he asked her to accompany him on a last-minute trip and she’s late. Just as he’s about to give up, Annika arrives, apologizing for her tardiness. She shows up empty-handed, saying they can do some shopping later. Leon is relieved and thrilled to see her, and they share a romantic moment at the private terminal.
The story then shifts to the plane, where Leon and Annika reveal their feelings for each other. They discuss their vulnerabilities and damaged pasts, and how they’ve been drawn to each other because of their shared experiences. Annika shares that she came on the trip because Leon’s texts made her feel wanted and valued. They have a romantic moment at the cabin, but their intimate embrace is interrupted by Toby, who announces that they need to prepare for takeoff. The chapter ends with Leon receiving a call from one of his attorneys, informing him that the two defendants in their pending case have made bail.
Chapter 32
As Leon’s private jet landed at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Annika and Leon took their seats without exchanging words. Upon landing, Leon took Annika’s hand in his and gave it a squeeze, and they locked eyes with a deep affection. The captain announced their descent, and the jet touched down smoothly before coming to a stop.
Leon and Annika boarded a car waiting for them, with Leon instructing Toby to add Annika to his dinner reservations and meetings. Annika reassured him that she would be fine without him, and they decided to rest at the hotel for the day. After arriving at the hotel, Leon and Annika discussed their preferences for pet names, with Annika revealing that she didn’t typically use them. Despite her hesitation, Leon was flattered and encouraged her to give him a pet name, leading to a playful and affectionate banter between the two.
Chapter 33
Far away in Texas, Leon was preparing to give Annika a refresher in s$x education, setting the stage for an explosive encounter that would ignite their relationship. Meanwhile, across the country, Jeffrey and Sadie were too caught up in their own drama to notice the consequences of their actions. Jeffrey had posted bail and was now on house arrest, trying to figure out his next move to win Annika back and fight his legal battles.
Jeffrey’s plans were foiled when his brother Joey showed up, revealing that Annika had been lying to everyone about her family. Joey exposed Annika’s true family, including her parents and two brothers, who had been hiding their existence. Annika’s true identity as a Silverton was revealed, and Joey disclosed that she was the youngest of her family, with an older brother who was a CEO, another brother who was a mercenary, and a sister. Furthermore, Annika’s family had hired a team of nearly a dozen lawyers to ruin Jeffrey.
Chapter 34
As I stood in the elevator with Leon, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. I had just gone from being a hurt and betrayed woman to being in a relationship with a new man, Leon. I was both excited and nervous, and my mind was in a whirlwind of emotions. Leon, with his chiseled back and smooth baritone voice, was really good at making me feel weak in the knees.
As we entered our hotel room, Leon got us the penthouse suite, which was a huge upgrade from the room I was used to. Leon joked that Dallas was a place where everything was bigger, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his comment. Despite his teasing and immature behavior, I couldn’t deny that I loved being around him. He was a monstrosity in terms of size, but he made me feel safe and secure. As we sat on the couch, Leon kissed my hand and pulled me into his arms, and I couldn’t help but feel warm and fuzzy inside. Eventually, Leon got up and started leading me to the bedroom, and I knew things were about to get more serious.
Chapter 35
I’m distracted because I can’t believe that you’re in front of me like this, Leon replied as he pressed forward, rubbing his elongated shaft between her folds still coated with her silky c*m from the back-to-back o*****s he had given her. Annika let out a soft m$$n at the initial friction of their sexes making contact as they did in the car earlier.
With her body now relaxed, Leon gently inserted his right middle finger into her, eliciting an e$$$$c gasp from her. He moved his finger in and out of her, and she moaned with approval. Little by little, he picked up the pace and curved his finger while turning his palm to face upward. Annika’s head began to thrash from side to side, and she bit her bottom lip to stifle her moans.
Chapter 36
Annika woke up in the luxurious hotel bed after a passionate night with Leon, but was alone and confused when she didn’t find him. She soon discovered that she was still au naturel under the covers, and when she went to get her phone, she found that Leon was in the adjoining bathroom. Despite their initial misunderstanding, they were both perplexed when Leon found Annika gone and the duvet missing. When Annika returned to the room, they made eye contact, and Leon greeted her with a smile, only to be met with confusion and a dose of reality. They decided to take a shower together, but Leon’s suggestion quickly took a turn when he spanked Annika and took possession of her lips, leading to another round of intense lovemaking.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Sadie struggled to adjust to her new reality after being released on house arrest. She attempted to contact Jeffrey multiple times, but her calls went unanswered, leading her to realize that he had blocked her. Frustrated and feeling isolated, Sadie lashed out at her pillow, unleashing her anger and despair. The knock on her door was a welcome distraction from her turmoil, but Sadie’s response to Mrs. Galloway was anything but gracious. The once glamorous and pampered socialite was now a shadow of her former self, left to wallow in her own misery and helplessness.
Chapter 37
Annika and Leon, still energized from their morning exercise, treated themselves to room service and got ready for the day. Annika had planned to go shopping, but Leon asked her to accompany him to his new business site instead. Toby, Leon’s assistant, had already purchased some clothes for Annika, impressing her with his thoughtfulness and attention to her style. As they got ready to leave, Annika’s phone rang, and she answered it to find out that her ex-husband Jeff had accused her of sleeping with Leon. Her best friend Kenzie had received a photo from Jeff and was furious.
Annika’s conversation with Kenzie revealed that Jeff had broken up with his girlfriend and was now accusing Annika of being unfaithful. Kenzie filled Annika in on a phone call with Hunter, who had refuted Jeff’s claims and had even accused him of being the worst type of scum. Annika and Leon continued their day, heading to Leon’s business site and later planning to go shopping together. As they arrived at the site, Leon’s phone rang, and they learned that Jorge, a private investigator, had met with Royce, Annika’s brother, and had obtained a dossier on a woman who was threatening to harm Annika.
Chapter 38
Leon threw himself into impressing Annika as they toured his new business site, making constant gestures to maintain physical contact. He even tried to steal a kiss behind the construction foreman, but Annika remained unmoved. As the day wore on, Leon’s attempts only seemed to fall flat, and his expression grew increasingly sullen. Annika, who had been trying to keep her distance, found herself both amused and moved by his efforts. Despite her resolve to keep things professional, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her chest whenever Leon was near.
As the day drew to a close, Leon suggested they go to the mall to grab dinner and do some shopping. Annika agreed, and they spent the evening enjoying each other’s company. Meanwhile, back in New York, Annika’s family was worrying about her sudden departure, unaware that she had gone to Texas with someone of the opposite gender. As they fretted about her safety, Annika and Leon were laughing and joking together, their connection growing stronger with each passing moment. The scene was set for a night that would leave neither of them unaffected.
Chapter 39
Beau, the patriarch of the Silverton family, was caught off guard by his daughter Annika’s recent actions. After a run-in with her ex-son-in-law Jeffrey, Beau’s lawyers informed him that Annika’s behavior was causing chaos. Unhappy with the situation, Beau is determined to put an end to the trouble and restore his family’s reputation. He bursts into the penthouse, demanding that everyone get Annika on the phone immediately.
As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Annika has been involved with someone new, Leonardo Von Doren. The Silverton family is shocked and displeased by the news, but Micky, the family’s wild child, is thrilled. She thinks it’s hilarious that Annika has gotten revenge on Jeffrey by sleeping with his mistress’s ex-husband. Meanwhile, Annika is unaware of the commotion caused by her actions and is busy shopping with Leon. The chapter ends with Annika and Leon at TAG HEUER, where Leon is looking at watches and Annika is initially disinterested but eventually finds something she likes.
Chapter 40
Annika was struggling to come to terms with her family’s reaction to her relationship with Leon. After being confronted by her family, she was experiencing feelings of hysteria and fear, and was trying to avoid calling her father to explain the situation. Leon, on the other hand, thought it was amusing that Annika was acting like a teenager who had been caught sneaking out of the house. He tried to reason with her, telling her that she couldn’t keep avoiding her father’s calls and that she had to tell him the truth.
Eventually, Leon answered the phone, much to Annika’s horror. He spoke to Annika’s father, who was furious and demanding that Annika return home immediately. Leon told Annika that she had no choice but to go back to New York, and that he would drive her to the airport the next morning. Annika was devastated, realizing that she had to face her father and deal with the consequences of her actions. Leon tried to console her, explaining that Jeffrey’s pain was ironic given his own past mistakes, but ultimately understandable. He reassured her that everything would be fine, as she had the separation documents and proof of their professional and friendly relationship.
Chapter 41
Leon gently pushed Annika away from him, saying “Doc, you got to go,” as he escorted her back to the airport. Despite her reluctance to leave, Annika knew she had to face her family’s wrath and prepare for the upcoming court date after her public expose of her cheating husband, Jeffrey. As they walked towards the jet, Annika pleaded with Leon to stay with her, but he refused, knowing she had to get back to her life and responsibilities.
After a passionate goodbye, Annika boarded the plane, knowing she couldn’t avoid her duties forever. Back at the penthouse, Micky and the rest of the family law team were going over documents for the divorce hearing, trying to build a strong case against Jeffrey. Meanwhile, Huxley received Annika’s text informing him of her return and the impending courtroom battles ahead. The family knew they had to tread carefully, as Jeffrey would likely try to manipulate evidence and spin the narrative to make Annika seem unstable.
Chapter 42
Beau’s stern voice echoed through the penthouse as he scolded his daughter Annika for her reckless behavior. Annika and her sister McKenna had been laughing and having a good time, but Beau was furious, feeling on the verge of an embolism as he envisioned the legal battle ahead of them. Both girls froze, and Annika tried to hide behind McKenna, but Beau commanded McKenna to leave, revealing his anger. Annika was left facing her father’s wrath, and she began to open up about her pain and humiliation, revealing her reasons for sending provocative photos to her ex-husband, Hollands.
As Annika broke down and wailed into her father’s chest, her family members arrived one by one, trying to comfort her. Beau held her close, unable to help but show his emotions. Annika eventually stopped crying, and the family sat down for a silent moment, each member offering a hug before resuming their seats. The conversation turned to Annika’s new love interest, Leonardo Von Doren, and the family learned more about him. Beau was skeptical at first but eventually showed interest, asking about Von Doren’s business and accomplishments. Annika defended him, saying he was charming and humorous. The family discussed Von Doren, with Huxley mentioning that he recognized him as the ex-husband of a woman of ill repute. Annika asked to bring Von Doren to meet her family, and her brothers were open to the idea.
Chapter 43
Leon was pleased to see that Annika hesitated when responding to his declaration of love, as he knew it would be difficult for her to believe his true feelings. Despite sending her away, he had always regretted his decision and wanted her to know his love was genuine. When he received a text from Annika stating that her family wanted to meet him when he returned to New York, Leon was shocked and slightly intimidated, knowing the family Annika came from.
As Leon and his assistant Toby prepared for work, Leon couldn’t help but smile when Toby noticed his facial expressions and overheard Leon’s token of love for Annika. Meanwhile, Jeffrey, on house arrest, was trying to maintain his charade of being at home while actually stalking the Silverton family from outside. He was surprised to see Annika emerge with her mother and sister, and noticed she no longer wore her wedding band or engagement ring. As Jefferson tried to recall where he had put his own wedding band, he was startled by the sudden appearance of his sister Piper, who caught him attempting to follow Annika’s family. Piper demanded Jeff return to the hotel, warning him against doing anything stupid.
Chapter 44
The week went by quickly for Annika and Leon, who were busy making plans. When Leon notified Annika that he would be returning to the Great Apple, she was thrilled and couldn’t contain her excitement, much to her father’s dismay. Annika decided to go to the airport to pick him up herself, despite her family’s urges for him to come to her. She arrived at the private airstrip and waited patiently for his arrival, anxiously checking her phone every minute until he emerged from the plane with his jet. Annika was overjoyed to see Leon and welcomed him with a passionate kiss. She insisted on driving her car, a Lamborghini Urus, back to her home, much to Leon’s surprise, leaving behind his own car. As they drove, Annika revealed that she had been keeping the car hidden in the penthouse parking garage, away from her father’s knowledge.
Unbeknownst to Annika, Jeff, her ex-boyfriend, had been watching their reunion from afar, feeling jealous and betrayed. He had been following her and realized that she had been keeping secrets about her life, including the expensive car. Meanwhile, Jorge, a private investigator, was tailing Jeff, who was supposed to be confined to his hotel room, but instead was stalking Annika and Leon. Leon’s assistant, Toby, had noticed Jeff’s tail-gating and relayed the information to Leon, who informed Annika that Jeff was following them.
Chapter 45
Annika and Leon arrived at her family’s penthouse floor, still feeling the tension from their recent intimate encounter. As they entered, they were greeted by Annika’s family: her brother Royce, her sister Micky, and their parents. Micky enthusiastically hugged Leon, much to Annika’s amusement, and introduced him to her family. Royce, who had met Sadie’s family at their wedding, seemed to size Leon up before nodding and walking away.
As the family members mingled, Annika’s parents were nowhere to be seen, prompting Huxley to explain that her father was sulking due to Annika’s recent relationship with Leon. Leon responded by assuring everyone that he would never cheat on Annika like her ex-boyfriend had and that he loved her despite their imperfect relationship. He acknowledged that their relationship would require a lot of work, especially given their demanding careers, but he wanted to make it work. His words seemed to impress Micky and Matthaeus, but Annika looked unconvinced. The conversation ended with a promise from Leon to do his best to make Annika happy for the time they were together.
