"Amanda wake up " I groaned before sinking deeper into the couch, ignoring whoever it was.

"Amanda we're going to be late, come on" Leonardo's loud ass shook me, slightly pissing me off

" Ndiyeke marn " (Leave me alone ) has he never heard of something called beauty sleep ? In less than a second, the blanket was snatched off of me causing me to shiver, this damn white boy .

"Leonardo stoppp," I said whining while looking at him, " What do you want mane ?"

" Change of plans, we're going home this afternoon at 4 Pm but we'll have to stop by somewhere before we board the plane " he said looking down at me with amusement.

"Finally ! Where are we going to be" stopping by " though?" I said sitting up, before stretching and yawning.

"Go get ready and you'll know " he said leaving the dining room, I guess we're going to pretend like yesterday never happened huh ?! I stood up from the couch and marched upstairs to my room,dragging the blanket behind me. I brushed my teeth and then took a bath.

After my 45 minutes shower, I dried up and lotioned my body. I was so happy to finally be going home, don't get me wrong, Russia is beautiful and the weather here is amazing but this trip was very... eventful, to say the least. Within such a short amount of time a lot has happened between me and Leonardo during this trip and I'm not just talking about us having sex, I got to see sides of him that I thought didn't exist and vise versa. One thing for sure is that ' Whatever happened in Russia, stays in Russia' , I'm pretty sure both me and him can agree on that but one thing I can't deny is that my feelings for Leonardo still exist and by the looks of things, they aren't fading any time soon.

After getting fully dressed,

I packed all my belongings and dragged my suitcases downstairs. Leonardo's luggage was by the door so I put mine next to his before walking towards the kitchen. The door bell rang making me groan and turn around to open the door. I pulled the door open and came face to face with an older white woman.

"Good morning miss, is Mr Reigns here ?" she said before smiling softly at me.

"Good morning ma'am and yes, he's around. Come in, don't stay out in the cold." I said before opening the door wider so she can get in.

"I'll go get him, you can make yourself comfortable ma'am" I said after closing the door and heading towards the kitchen, where I'm assuming Leonardo was.

"There's an old lady who asked to see you in the living room " I said when I saw him leaning on the kitchen counter while on his phone.

"It must be Rose, you packed already ? " he asked looking up from his phone

"Yes but lemme make something to e- "

"We'll grab something on the way" he said while grabbing the car keys off the counter

" Why ? There's still food here, I could quickly whip up som- " and he cut me off again.

" You could but we don't have time " he said arching his perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.

" First of all, stop cutting me off and secondly, fine we can go but you're definitely paying since you want to waste money. " I said before grabbing my purse from the counter and walked away from him, towards the living room and I heard him chuckle as he followed behind me.

" Mr Reigns, good morning " the lady said while smiling at Leonardo.

" Rose, I told you plenty of times to call me Leonardo " Leonardo said embracing her in a hug.

" I know," she sighed as she pulled back to look at him, " it's a shame you're leaving so soon, you just got here. I barely see you" she said with her hand still on his back

" Remember that I was only here for business Rose but I promise to visit soon or you can visit the family in Italy or New York" Leonardo said genuinely smiling at her, his dimples popping out.

" That would be wonderful, I haven't seen my Mia in a long time "

"Yes and by the way Rose this is Amanda, we work together and Amanda this is Rose, my housekeeper " I flashed the lady a fake smile, I guess I'm just his employee , who am I kidding ? I might as well get rid of my feelings because I'll forever be that.

" Nice to meet you Ms Rose. " I said putting my hand out to shake hers and she reached out and shook it.

" Likewise Miss. I love your accent, where are you from ?" she asked smiling widely

"Enkosi , I'm from South Africa but I'm partly or rather half Ghana so that's where I get my accent." I said proudly with the biggest smile on my face, I held so much pride when it came to my tribe and culture.

" Well you're accent is beautiful and so are you " she complimented making my face heat up. I turned my face to the side to hide my blush, Leonardo chuckled at me.

"Thank you ma'am " I said playfully glaring at Leonardo.

"I hate to cut this short but we have to be on our way Rose" he said giving her a side hug before grabbing his luggage.

"Okay, but let me know when you land so I can know you're safe." she opened the door for us and we dragged our suitcases to the car.

"I will, bye Rose " Leonardo said after he was done loading the truck with all our belongings. We got into the car and waved goodbye before driving off. The car ride was silent but it wasn't the awkward silence, I was just hungry and a little bit pissed at the comment he made earlier. I went from app to app on my phone until we pulled up at a Starbucks drive thru. I got my regular and a caramel latte.

"Here's yo- Oh my God ! You're Leonardo Reigns, hey " a very attractive girl said sticking her upper body out of the window while handing Leonardo our orders. Her huge, obviously fake breasts were on full display, all up on his face and he loved every second of it.

"Hey tesoro" my eyes quickly snapped on him, did he just call her what I think he called her ? I took my food out of his grip and jumped to the back seat.

"Aman-" the girl cut him off by grabbing his chin and made him face her.

"Can I get the tip ? " she flirted with him as she ran her long, pointy nails down his face to his neck. Cars behind us started honking but I must have been the only one who heard them because they didn't seem bothered.

"Maybe next time sweetheart, it was pleasant to meet you though." he said giving her one of his dimple smiles causing her to giggles, how far was New York from Russia? I'm going by foot.

" Here, take this. Call me whenever you can handsome" she wrote her number down on a napkin and dropped it on his lap. I wanted to gagg at how desperate she was.

"I'll make sure to put this to use " Leonardo said before winking at her and driving out of Starbucks.

"Why are you all the way in the back ? " he asked when we joined the highway . I ignored him and drank my drink while scrolling through Instagram, he smacked his teeth and continued to drive to wherever he was going.

Within an hour we arrived in front of Restaurant ,he drove to the back exit . It was still morning but the sky was dark due to rain clouds.

"I can't leave you in the car so you're coming with m-" I cut him off

"Do I have to ?" I asked before rolling my eyes

"Yes and next time don't cut me off when I-" I scoffed cutting him off again

"Ah ! Now you know how it fe- okay, I'm sorry " I said before crossing my arms and facing the window.

"As I was saying, I'm taking you with me but you'll have to do exactly what I tell you to do. Are we clear ?" I nodded still looking away from him.

"I need words Amanda" he said turning on his seat to look at me.

"I heard you." I said before glaring at him.

"Good, let's go" he unlocked the doors and we both got out of the car. I walked behind his tall figure as he led the way. When we reached the big, black metal door, he knocked three times before whistling. I looked at him puzzled before the door opened and Leonardo put me in front before we walked into the dimly lit room.

" Von " the man by the door said giving Leonardo a head nod. Leonardo gave him a simple head nod.

"Who's Van ?" I whispered to Leonardo

"It's Von and it doesn't matter" he mumbled back before turning to look at the man

"Take her to the bar, she'll wait there for me. And don't you dare move away from the bar Amanda until I come back" he muttered the last part to me before the man told me to follow behind him. Leonardo watched me as I left the room and went to the front of the restaurant.

"You can sit here ma'am " the man said once we reached the bar and he turned and left.

"Do you want anything ma' am ?" the barman asked as I shook my head , it was too early to drink.

"No, thank you" I said smiling politely, he nodded and went to serve other people.

Four hours went by and Leonardo still wasn't out, I was tired, starving and highly irritated. His stupid ass could've left me on the car and what's worse is I can't even call him because my phone is in the damn car and so was my wallet. The doors in the direction we came in opened and the same guard as earlier motioned for me to come, I got off the stool and literally marched to him. He opened the door for me and I locked eyes with the jerk.

"Let's go " he reached his hand out for me to grab, I scoffed and walked passed him and out of the building. He opened the doors and I got on the back of the car, slamming the door before crossing my arms and facing the window.

" Don't slam my doors " he barked while looking at me crazy through the rear view mirror.

" Or what ?" I barked back looking back at him.

"Or wh-- Slam my door one more time Amanda and I swear uccidi di té " (I'll kill you) I smirked before opening the door and slammed it really hard this time causing the window to vibrate. He took a deep breath and ran his hands down his face, vains popping out in his neck and forehead. he's mad, boohoo !!!

" Amanda please get out of my car, since you want to act like you don't have any sense" he said with his hands covering his face, I guess his bipolar ass was trying to calm down. Without any hesitation, I grabbed my phone and wallet and got out of the car. I walked to the front of the restaurant and waited for a taxi to take me to the airport, he must have been out of his damn mind if he thought I would beg . A blue car stopped in front of me and the window slid down.

"Taxi ma 'am?" the man with braided hair asked while smiling at me.

"Yes please" I said before getting in, at the back. I set my purse beside me and leaned my head against the window .

"Where to ma' am ?" the driver asked looking at me through the mirror.

"Oh ye- I'm sorry, I just have a lot on my mind. I'm going to Bidranť airport " I said looking at him apologetically.

" What's on your mind ? That's if you don't mind me asking " he asked before making a left turn.

" I honestly don't want to talk about it right now " I mumbled leaning back on my seat,he scoffed.

" Oh ! I think I know, Leonardo is still a dick huh ?" my head instantly snapped towards him, wh-

" Excuse me ? " I asked, my heart rate starting to speed up and so did the car.

" Hey Amanda " he smiled slyly at me through the mirror , Oh God !

I reached for the door handle but he quickly locked them , I started punching and kicking the window but they wouldn't budge and there was no use of me calling out for help because no one was in sight. I reached out from the back and grabbed the stirring wheel, I tried turning it so we can get off the road and land on the lake that was beside the road but he elbowed me on the face making me fall back while grabbing my bloody nose.

" Please let me go, let me out and I won't tell anybody about this. Please " I begged at him with tears pouring uncontrollable out of my eyes, what did I get myself into ?

" Try that shit again and you'll die before we even reach our destination, now sit back and be a good fucken girl " he said calmly while looking between me and the road. I reached for my phone and dialed Leonardo's number, still looking at the man while shaking.

"LEONARDO HELP ! HELP ! I'M BEI-- " I screamed immediately after he picked up but the man snatched my phone out of my grib and threw it out the window. I sat behind his chair and wrapped my hands around his neck, choking him.

"Damn putana !" he growled as the car started swerving left and right, honestly at this point I didn't care even if we both die, as long as we don't reach his destination. He scratched my arm, probably removing skin because my arm started to burn. My grib loosened on his neck and he used that to his advantage and bit my hand before reaching for his gun and knocking me out with it.

Gods of Africa , I call upon you !!!
