Inside the Dungeon
The man is grunting from pain. There are several cut marks on his body "Tell me bastard who are you working for!" Scott demanded. But the man is still refuses to answer.
Leonard blankly watching the interrogation is taken by his left hand man. Behind him James also have no expression on his face.
"Boss...After such torture he is still refusing to answer!" James said to his boss.
Leonard lips stretch into a smirk "He is a tough nut to crack...but that's what I like..its been so long I find something thrilling" James gulped hearing the humour behind his boss voice.
Leonard stood up and made Scott retreat. He look at the man smirking "You know it brings lot of pleasure to me to break the will of men like you. Since you don't want to answer anything then you left me no choice". Leonard look at James, seeing the boss stare he nodded and call someone.
Soon a lady is brought by two bulky men, who pushed her to floor. Her face is strain with tears, she look at the man tears falling from her eyes " Don't hurt him" she whimper. The man was expressionless but his eyes soften looking at the woman. He move his head to look at Leonard and suddenly laugh like maniac. His his hold the gaze of ridicule "He told me you were anything but a scumbag. He told me you would do anything low to gain your interest". Hearing him Scott punch his jaw to stop him from talking nonsense. But he still laugh and look disgustingly at Leonard, with mouthful of blood he spit at Leonard.
Leonard eyes turn cold as ice " I will show you what kind of lowlife I can be" his voice turn dark, he pause for minute then evilly smirk "What if I sold your wife...or it's better I told my men to strip her infront of you" saying that he twisted his fingers, the man howl in pain. Hearing him the woman cried " No!!...please don't hurt him I beg you... you can do anything to me but please spare him"
The man look at him bitterly at Leonard and them shift his gaze to the woman who is crying for him. He helplessly release a frustration sign "I never saw his face only hear his voice. He sent me all the details over email. I'm working under him for 5 years. He never kept the same phone number infact he never stayed at one place. I tried to hack his location but it kept dodging from one place to another"
Leonard look at Scott "Note down all the details that he did for 5 years working for his master and then give me the detail report, keep him under observation and leave that woman" hearing him Scott nodded. The man look at Leonard back "Wait!"
Leonard stop and look at him waiting for him to speak "I have one request... I hope you accept it....Please send her somewhere save. Since, I have been capture they will try to harm her" he begged. Leonard look at him and nodded "But on one condition... you must cooperate or else you know" hearing him the man nodded. Leonard look at James, seeing his gaze James nodded.

Marshall Mansion.
It's been a week since Leonard left. A weird feeling spread inside Lily. Somewhere she became too comfortable with him. She misses his touch, his tease, his attention. Several times she try to call him but everytime the call is out of reach. Getting frustrated she called Tulip "I think he overreacted but Lily every man has its own pride and dignity. What I understand is that you should atleast give him a chance. Honestly a man like Leonard doesn't short for woman." Tulip said on the other side of call.
"Tulip! you are hurting my ego" Lily grumble.
"I'm telling you the truth... Gosh Lily lose your cherry already after all you married a handsome hunk" Tulip said.
"You!! how can you be so bold" Lily said blushing.
"Well babe give him atleast one chance. You can't judge him by comparing him to your ex husband" Tulip said.
After talking for some time they ended their conversation. Lily place the phone on the bed and exit the room. She saw maid rushing holding a tray. Lily got puzzle and ask one of the maid working in living room "Ma'am master has arrived, currently he is in his office"
'He arrived then why didn't he inform me' she thought "Can you show me where is his office" she asked the maid. The maid nodded and show her the way.
Lily contemplate for sometime but after gaining the courage she enters without knocking.

Inside the office
The room is dark only filled with smoke releasing from cigarette. The faint light is coming from the moonlight. She saw Leonard standing near the large window, his back facing her.
Suddenly he said without turning "What are you doing here?" he said in deep voice.
"How do you know? it's me" Lily said shuddering. "I can smell you Lily.... Unconsciously my body reacts when it comes to you" saying he turns to face her.
Lily face flush seeing his intense gaze on her body. Heat rush through her body, unconsciously she pressed her thighs together "I...I" no words came from her mouth.
Leonard gaze intensify but he didn't said anything waiting for her to speak. He slowly walk towards her and stand infornt of her without touching her. His hands are plunge in his pocket, his gaze keep staring at her.
