He picked up the phone wondering what happened now for them to be calling him.
“What? Are you kidding me right now?”
He yelled getting up, this must be a joke, they were going to release him, they better think again, how could the bastard make him a liar?
“I am on my way, I will meet you up at the police station, don’t let anyone leave, I will be there soon,”
He said and hung up, he turned to Natalie who was looking at him with curious eyes.
“I have to go to the police station, that bastard is pulling strings, I need to go before he buys every one of them off,”
He said picking up his phone and calling his legal team, he told them to set up a meeting.
“Good luck,”
Natalie said when he was about to leave, he came back and he couldn’t resist smiling at her, there was no point in letting the bastard Leonard be a reason he would be mad at his wife.
“I will be back before dinner, we are going out,”
He said, going over to kiss her, if he was going to break whatever barrier she was trying to put between them, he had to work on making her comfortable with his touch, take it one step at a time, he couldn’t believe he was gonna go through with this, but he had to, he hated the energy between, he expected her to pull away like she did the last time but she didn’t, the kiss he met to be just a peck got intense in seconds, if he didn’t have to leave, if it wasn’t urgent, he would have stayed back and spent the day showing her just what vital part have been missing from their marriage but he had to go.
“Be ready when I come back okay? I will call you,”
He said letting her go, she nodded in agreement, he wanted to ask her why she was just agreeing but decided against it, he didn’t want to make her mad again, he kissed her once more before leaving, he had to handle this himself if not, he would make sure Leonard doesn’t get out of this, the jail was what suits him, how dare he makes him look like a fool, nobody gets away with messing with him.
“Yeah right, except that lady you just left inside, ”
“Shut you,”
He muttered under his breath, yes Natalie could do that, well because he chose to let her and besides she wasn’t even a threat she was just being rebellious and she hasn’t done anything to piss him off recently.
He got to the police station and met with the head there, he didn’t even bother to beat about the bush and went straight to the point, if they didn’t want his trouble they shouldn’t do anything stupid that would involve Leonard being released, not with the life of innocent citizens being put at risk, he didn’t just work with any kind of building but top building, hotels, companies, top estates and lots more, what if he hadn’t caught on, what if he hadn’t told them to look into the mere rumor, millions of people might have been put at risk all because of a greedy man after he spoke with the officer, he went to see Leonard himself making sure to tell him that he won’t make it and it would be best if he just has up.
“I am telling you that you have the wrong man, Rafael, you are messing with the wrong person, I can find my way out of here, and there is nothing you can do to stop it,”
Leonard said. Rafael wasn’t surprised the bastard could still make the mouth, but what the idiot didn’t know was Rafael doesn’t strike if he doesn’t have enough evidence.
“Let’s see how that’s going to happen, Jones, let’s see you walk out of here to your house and not to jail,”
He said and left him, he couldn’t waste his time on a greedy man who wasn’t wise, yes Rafael knew he was greedy too but he was different from the likes of Leonard, he couldn’t do such a thing, everything he does is top-notch, that’s why he was even madder at Leonard for trying to ruining his good reputation, ruining the authenticity of his work and put people in danger too, he wasn’t going to let him get away with any of it…
Rafael called Natalie when he was almost back at the penthouse, he wanted them to spend the night at the house they will be living together in Florida, the reason they were in the penthouse was that he wanted to do something new with the house, something she might like, when he had planned it, he hadn’t thought much about her reaction, now he wanted to see it so bad.
“Wow, are you fallen in love with her?”
The stupid voice asked, it was stupid because what the fuck is love? He didn’t do love, never had, never will, if Natalie expects him to love her then she just has to wake up to reality because that’s never going to happen.
“I am on my way back,”
He said when she took his call, she didn’t say anything and just ended the call, damn the lady and her unpredictable mood swings, when he got to the hotel, there was a small crowd of paparazzi at the front gate, he was able to drive past them into the hotel, he didn’t want them, he knew why they were here, Leonard was pulling strings, what he didn’t know was that whatever strings he pulls now will rope him to prison, Rafael will make sure of it and the public will thank him after for now, he wanted to concentrate on breaking the barrier between his crazy wife and him and that starts tonight since they can’t make it for their honeymoon now, he would postpone it but still give her a feel of honeymoon…
