“I’m not going,” Samantha insisted.
“It’s not up to you to decide, Leonardo replied.
#1 belong to myself. Why wouldn’t it be up to me?” She was getting annoyed.
“Samantha, don’t forget that you’ll marry me sooner or later. You’ll have to live v Histone brooked no argument.
“It does make a difference, and I don’t feel like going now,” Samantha retorted.
with me eventually, so what difference does it make whether it’s now or later?
Leonardo’s lips curved slightly. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his smile as he said, “You don’t get to refuse, Samantha.”
He even went as far as to forcibly strip her right to say no,
Simondidn’t dare to disobey and could only drive toward Sterling Residences, occasionally stealing glances through the tearview mirror. He never expected someone like Leonarda to stoop so low as to practically abduct a woman.
However, he wasn’t too worried about Samantha’s safety. Leonarde could be crazy at times, but no matter how he lost it, he would never hurt Samantha. That was something Simon was very certain of
Once they arrived at the underground parking lot of Sterling Residences, Simon parked the car and made a quick exit, bolting like something was hot on his heels.

He dial, i want to ruin their time alone.
Leonardo stepped out first. When he turned back, Samantha was still sitting there like a stubborn rock, showing no intention of getting out.
“You’re not coming down to take a look?” he asked.
“Didn’t I already mention? I’m not coming down,” she replied stubbornly.
“Are you getting out on your own, or should carry you out?” Leonardo shot her a look
He didn’t leave her with an option to refuse
Samantha chiwed on her bottom lip. She thought that if Leonardo actually carried her out of the car, she would be so embarrassed that she would want the ground to swallow her whole.
With no other way out, she went with the better option, mentioning, “I’ll get out on my owIL
Leonardo reached out to help her, and she deliberately avoided his hand. She intended to get out on her own, but he seized her hand dominantly.
“I don’t need you to help me..” Samantha protested.
He cut her off and growled, “Try arguing again.”
She backed down and kept quiet, letting him take her hand without resisting.
They walked from the parking lot to the elevator. It was spacious, and the tiles gleamed under the lights, Leonardo unlocked the doors with facial recognition and pulled her inside.
Samantha followed quietly beside Leonardo the entire time. She didn’t know why, but it felt like they were a married couple coming home, and a tiny feeling of happinesswelled up inside her.
Yet, she quickly pushed those emotions aside. It wasn’t possible, after all, Leonardo was only using her to put on an act and fend off his family’s pressure to marry.
If she actually fell for him, she would be the one to get hurt in the end.
She didn’t notice when the elevator doors had closed or opened. When she looked up, she was met with an imposing dark gray door
Leonardo suddenly asked, “Do you remember which floor?”
She had zoned out,
“It’s the top floor just press the biggest number in the elevator,” he said.
“Oluy.” Samantha nodded.
Leonardo pressed his fingerprint to the scanner, and the door opened. The interior was brightly lit, exuding luxury and grandeur. The cool–toned decor was simple yet suplusticated.
There was no one inside.
Before Samantha could take a closer look at her surroundings, Leonardo palled her right toward the most bedroom. He pushed the door open, revealing a large bed over six and a half feet wide. It was covered with a dark gray down comforter that looked incredibly soft and comfortable.
Leonardo gestured around, introducing. “This is my bedroom.”
“Qli, let’s check out the rest of the place,” Saman Migested. Something about the way Leonardo looked at her felt out. Who started a house tout with the bedengen?
She instinctively took a step back, wanting to go elsewhere. But the hand holding hers suddenly tightened and pulled her back
He closed the door behind her and porsaed her against it, pinning one of her lands to the side. They were closes doin the Leonardo’s heavy breathing, and her ears were wann and red from it.
“Do you like it here?” Leonardo asked.
