Chapter 22

Emily remained quiet through out the ride, she still couldn't believe what had happened and she didn't understand why Leonard and Karen had gone to the car and stayed for quite some while. All she wanted to do was go home and Leonard seemed to be doing just that.

He drove her straight home and dropped her off without saying a word, when she came down he zoomed off and left her there. Emily watched his car in full speed a far as she walked into her house, the first thing she noticed was that the door was opened.

Was Chloe also just coming, Chloe was fond of leaving the door opened when she stepped in. It was after she had settled in she would reme what she had done.

When Emily entered she stared at a man sited on their chair with two bodyguards beside him and her mother and father sited on the floor tied together and ducked taped.

What was going on? Who was this man? It wasn't long ago that they had all gotten kidnapped and now this? How many people was her father owing. Was this what they were going to continue facing for the rest of their lives.

She caught the eye of the man and the shocked look of her mother who seemed to be regretting that Emily had come sooner.

The man had a cut on his left eye and he looked young like Leonard's age, she guessed.

Leonard drove straight to the Klar's mansion and when he got there the securities were all shocked to see their longtime master, they spoke to him on phone but had never had a close encounter with him since the dispute he had with his father.

"Welcome boss," they saluted him as they opened the gate for him, they wondered what had finally brought him here and they could only fear that someone had instigated his arrival and that person was definitely in serious trouble with the way the young master was driving the car.

"Cam! Cam!!" Leonard voice filled the building as he stepped in, the maids ran for their lives on the sight of Leonard as Cam finally came into view and before Cam could figure out what was going on, Leonard launched for him and punched him right in his left eyes as Cam staggered back losing control and fell down instantly from the impact of the punch.

"Brother," Bella yelled coming out of the elevator running to Cam, she had spotted Leonard's car when she came out of the bathroom and feared filled her, what was Leonard doing here this late at night? When she heard him calling out for Cam she rushed out immediately just wearing her pyjamas without drying her hair.

She had gotten in just in time here Leonard killed Cam, she knelt down next to Cam as she tried to help him to his feet.

"Go to your room now Bella," Leonard yelled at her.

"Please don't hurt him Leonard," Bella sobbed, Leonard had been warning Can for quite some while to stay off her and it seemed he was done talking or trying to explain the while situation and the outcome over and over again.

"Listen to your brother Bella," Cam said rising to his feet.

"No," Bella shouted standing between Leonard and Cam, she backed Cam and stared at Leonard as water dripped slowly from her hair. "It was mutual, whatever happened was mutual...please don't hurt him.*

"What nonsense was mutual?" Leonard snapped.

"Bella," Cam called out again looking at Leonard, Bella wasn't so tall so he stared at Leonard over Bella's shoulder. He could feel a sting on his left eyes and could only touch the eyes at interval, he was sure he would get a swollen eyes by tomorrow.

"I...Me...We kissed and it was not...." Bella trailed off.

"You did what?" Leonard asked shocked by the new information and Bella caught sight of it, wasn't he here because She and Cam had eventually kissed in the car when they droved in.

She didnt know how it happened but she had initiated the kiss, she still couldn't put it together why she felt the need to kiss him but she did regardless and it felt so good, it was so good she didn't think about Leonard or about the maids seeing them or the guards reporting it to Leonard.

The worst scenario she has imagined was Leonard calling to warn them, she didn't imagine that Leonard would drive all the way this late to come and beat Cam up but from the look of things it seemed Leonard was here for something else and not for the kiss and that she had just spilled the beans and gotten him more upset.

She watched his gaze darken as he stared at her furious than ever, she wondered what Cam had done that could be so bad that Leonard would want to kill him.

Leonard tried to reach out to Cam but got blocked by Bella, he wanted to push her off but he knew how upset he was he would definitely hurt her if he laid his hands on her to push her off, he had drove here because he knew the only person who could get Karen to him was Cam.

There was no one else who had access to his movement except Cam and he wondered why Cam would be so stupid to do something like this to him. He had successfully ruined his date with Emily and ended up making him look like a fool and he knew that Cam was aware of what he had done that was why he had kept quiet but to hear that he kissed Bella.

This bastard!

He had sent Karen to distract him so he could spend more time with Bella after Leonard had warned him repeatedly to stay away from his sister.

Cam knew why Leonard was here and that was why he was trying to caution Bella to let them be, he knew Karen had gone to him but what he wasn't informed was that Leonard was going to be with Emily. No wonder Emily had refused his ride, she had been waiting for him to come pick her up.

At first he didn't bother, he felt Emily was one of Leonard's little conquest but the way Leonard was fuming right now he was picturing them differently. Was Leonard developing feelings for Emily? Was he?

"Go inside this minute," Leonard barked.

"What nonsense is going on here?" There mother shouted coming down the stairs with sleepy eyes, she had come back late from work and went straight to bed. She was too tired to go to check on Bella so she asked the maid if her daughter was okay and the maids told her the young miss was okay and fine, but as she was almost in dream land she heard a familiar voice in her head screaming.

Her son?

Was Leonard really here right now? Of course she was dreaming, she couldn't believe her son would come here not after how he had left the last time. He barely picked up her calls but she was at ease to know from his driver that he was doing well, she only wished her husband would end his dispute with Leonard for once.

He couldn't keep blaming their poor boy for what had happened in the past, she figured it was the maids or cook arguing but why so late in the night, didn't they know their place in the mansion anymore.
