They reached Head Quarters and Alexandra and Carmela immediately got out of the car. They went to the backseat where Brandon and Leo were on board. They headed to Head Quarters while Alexandra led Brandon while Carmela led Leo. They went inside.

Rhianna got out of the car. Her mother and her sister Ylona also came out of the backseat. They went inside the Head Quarters with Faith and Harold. When they got inside, she sit her Mama and Ylona on the sofa. Leo and Brandon were probably in the room with Carmela and Alexandra to heal their wound.

“Leo’s wounds were severe. Do you think Alexandra can heal him?” Faith asked Harold. They stood on the side by the window and looked at each other.

“She can do it. Alexandra is good in healing.” Harold said and looked at Rhianna and Faith looked at her too.

“I’m sorry for what happened. Because we saved Mama and Ylona, ​​Brandon and Leo get wounded.” she said and sadness was visible on her face. She feels guilty for what had happened to Leo and Brandon. If Rhianna hadn’t entered their lives, maybe, they are okay now.

“It’s not your fault Rhianna. We just did the right thing. Everything will be fine, okay. Don’t mind it.” Faith said and smiled at her, she also smiled back.

A few moments later, Carmela and Alexandra came out of the room, the room where Alexandra had treated Rhianna. Carmela looked at her as if blaming her for what had happened. Faith and Harold approached.

“How are they?” Harold asked Alexandra.

“They’re fine. I going to town with Carmela to buy medicine so that their wounds heal faster.” Alexandra said and invited Carmela to come out of Head Quarters.

“I’ll be with you.” Harold offers and immediately went outside as Alexandra and Carmela followed.

Faith and Rhianna entered the room. When they finally entered, they saw Leo and Brandon who were lying on the bed. Leo’s left arm was tied with a cloth to support the wound. Faith’s cellphone suddenly rang. She answered that and turned up the loudspeaker.

“Harold, why?” she asked on the other line.

“You need to get out of there. Go home o go to a safe place. You might be found there.” he stated.

“All right. We will do that.” Faith said and immediately dropped the call. Brandon and Leo woke up because of the call. Faith went to the side of the bed where Brandon was and help him to stand up.

“We need to get out of here. Hurry up!” Leo said and immediately stood up. He winced because of the pain he felt when he force himself to stand up.

“Don’t merely stand. Your wounds are fresh.” she reminds him.

She immediately approached him and supported him. Their eyes met. But she immediately averted her gaze to the door and they walked out of the room as she led him. While Faith and Brandon are in their back following them. Her mother and Ylona stood up when they saw them exiting the room.

“Why?” her mother asked worriedly.

“We have to get out of here, Mom.” she explained. Her mother nodded and took Ylona’s hand and they started walking toward the exit.

They immediately left Head Quarters. Ylona got into the car. When they finally left the Head Quarters. Her mother opened the passenger seat of the car for Leo to enter. While her mother and Ylona are in the backseat.

When Leo got inside the passenger’s seat, Rhianna turned around to go to the driver’s seat. Faith car together with Brandon came out first and they followed their car. They were on the right road while Faith’s car is on the left road.

“How are you feeling?” she asked Leo. She glanced at him.

“I’m fine don’t worry about me.” he said as his gaze focused on the road.

They traveled the road to the apartment. She already knew the road to the apartment. When they reached the apartment, she got out of the car and went to the passenger’s seat to support Leo. Her mother and Ylona also came out of the backseat.

She walked down the road to the apartment while Leo was leading her. Her mother and Ylona just followed them. When they entered the apartment, she immediately went to Leo’s room. She made him sit on the bed. She was about to leave when he pulled Rhianna. She sat on his lap.

“Leo. Why?” she asked him and feel uneasiness sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Can you stay? Please?” Leo begged her. She nodded in response. She just felt his lips touch her neck. She feel like she was electrified by his kiss.

“Leo.” she moaned. Until his lips traveled over her shoulder. She moaned again. Leo was shocked by her reaction. He stopped what he was doing for a while.

“Your mother and sister are safe now. We just have to finish with Don Ysmael.” he said. Why is he saying those things to her? She let him hug her. Even just now.

Rhianna left the room and left Leo asleep. Later, she will clean his wound. She went to the kitchen and was surprised to see her mother cooking.

“Mom. You shouldn’t be doing that.” she said and immediately approached her.

“Leave me to do this, Rhianna. I want to serve you, you, and Leo in gratitude for saving us.” she said and looked at her from the cook. Her mother smiled at her. She misses her mother. It’s more than three weeks also without seeing them. She sat in the chair at the table.

“Mom, are you worried about me when you found out I left the house?” she asked curiously.

“Of course, Rhianna. But I know why you left the mansion.” she said. She approached Rhiana at the table with a bowl. Aruzcaldo is what she cooked. This is her specialty.

“Feed Leo, first. Please also thank him for saving us.”

Rhianna nodded and immediately picked up the bowl and headed to Leo’s room. When she was at the door, she was stunned at what she saw. She has no clothes on. She was only wearing shorts and she could see his muscular body. She was about to turn around to go back to the kitchen but he spoke.

“Did you bring that for me, Rhianna?” he asked in a deep voice. She swallowed and immediately faced him.

“Yes. To fill your stomach.” Rhianna said and immediately entered his room. She sat on his bed. He stood up and went to the door and close it. He came back to the bed and sit there. He took the bowl she had brought for him and tasted it.

“It’s delicious,” he said.

“Mom cooked it as a thanksgiving for saving them. Thank you, Leo, thank you for saving my mother and sister. Of course thank you to our group, too.” she said. He placed the bowl on the bedside table and stared at her.

“Like I said we’ll save your mother and sister. Right? I’m just fulfilled my promise to you.” he said as he stared at her intently. That’s where Rhianna’s tears flowed because Leo never left her. He was always there for her no matter what happen and she was very grateful for that.

“Shh. Don’t cry,” he said while wiping the tears that streamed down her cheeks.

“I don’t know what to do without you, Leo. I’m really worried about you and Brandon.” she said while still shedding her tears.

“I’m a bad weed,” he said and laughed. She laughed too.

“Let me heal your wound.”:she said.

Rhianna looked at Leo. But, he just stared at her, until he slowly brought his face closer to hers. Moments later their lips met. At first, it was gentle, but as time went on his kiss deepened. She wrapped her hands around his neck and felt his kisses. He slowly let go.

“I can’t avoid the temptation when you’re around Rhianna.” he said while catching his breath because of the kiss earlier.

Leo’s just tempting Rhianna but that’s all he feels for her. As a man, that is inevitable. She ignored what he said even though it hurts to think that it was the reason why he kissed her. She stood up and picked up the first aid kit that was on the bedside table and sat back on the bed.

“Lie down. So we can clean your wound” she commanded.

He immediately complied. While she was treating him. She can’t help but think what if it wasn’t just what he reached for? She was shaken. She shouldn’t think that way.

After she healed his wound she looked at him. He is already asleep. She got up and went to the kitchen to eat. She found her mother who was already eating.

“Come on, let’s eat.” she said.

“Where’s Ylona?” She asks.

“She’s in the bedroom and resting.” she said.

She just nodded in agreement. She sat on the chair and spooned rice and took the dish that was served. When she started to eat her mother spoke.

“You like Leo. Am I right?” she asked. She suddenly stopped from grief. She closes her eyes when she remembers the kiss they shared earlier. She feels guilty because she did that even though her mother was here. She bit her lips because of embarrassment.

“No.” she denied it. But she knows, she can’t hide that from him.

“I’m your mother. I’ve been with you from your childhood until now. So I know and I feel the way you look at him. Nothing to worry about if you confess to me your feelings to Leo.” she said. Rhianna looked at her mother after eating. She nodded in agreement.

“Yes, mom. I like him.” she confessed.

“I’m not against it, Rhianna. If you like him, go for it. I’m always here to support you.” she said. One of the things she was thankful for is that she had an understanding mother. She was blessed. She grabbed her mother’s hands and squeezed them slightly.

“Thank you, Mom,” she said.

Her mother smiled at her. For a long time that they were interns in that house. Only now, she see how herm mother smiles like that. There is no bitterness in her smile and she was happy because they are free from his stepfather.
