Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Coming.” Ciara shouted from the kitchen.

She opened the door to see Leo.

“Leo!” She said.

He smiled.

“What are you doing here?” She asked.

He furrowed his eye brows in confusion.

“Ohh… Come in.” She said.

He entered her apartment.

“Nice place.” He said as he took a seat on her couch.

“Don’t you feel something is wrong with Leo?” Tavia asked Ciara.

“And what is that?” She asked.

“I don’t know, just feel weird about it tho.” Tavia said and pulled up the mental block.

“When i came home, you were not home.” Ciara said as she took a seat beside him.

“Yeah.. Had some business to do.” He replied.

“So how was the work you went to do?” He asked changing the topic.

“Yeah… It went well.” She replied not really wanting to answered.

“What should i get you?” She asked.

“Water will do.” He replied.

“Water?” She asked knitting her eye brows in question.

“Okay… Orange juice.” He replied. He was really nervous.

“Okay, be right back.” She said and went in to the kitchen.

“Hey, this is it.” She said as she came out of the kitchen.

“Nice artwork.” He said.

He took the glass of juice and sipped a little from it.

“So, what’s good?” He asked.

“Nothing.” She replied.

All this while she had masked her scent.

Leo kept talking about how his sister and her boyfriend were fighting and some other things.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

They both turned their heads towards the door.

“Are you expecting a visitor?” Leo asked.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Nope.” She replied confused.

She stood up and went over to the door.

She opened it and saw a lady with a pair of gray eyes wearing a blue short gown.

“Hi, is my brother in?” She asked.

“Brother?” Ciara asked.

“Hmm… Yes… Leo.” The lady replied.

Then it dawned on her that she was Leo’s sister.

“Ohh… You are…” She said trailing off.

“Leticia.” Leo’s voice cut her off.

“Brother.” Leticia said with a little smile. He smiled at her also.

Ciara opened the door and Leticia came in.

“i went over to your place but could not find you, it was the neighbor that told me he saw you coming here.” Leticia said as she took a seat.

“And she is…” Leticia said trailing off.

“Ara.” Ciara completed it.

“Wait, you are Ara, the lady my brother keeps talking about.” Leticia blabbered.

Ciara was surprised that Leo talks about her.

When Leticia noticed her brother countenance had changed, she kept quiet.

“Oops, i talked too much.” She clamped her lips shut while Ciara just smiled.

“What would you like me to serve you?” Ciara asked after some minutes of awkward silence.

“Juice is just fine.” Leticia said.

Ciara went into the kitchen and brought the juice jug over to the sitting room.

They went ahead and started talking about random stuffs until Leticia started talking about her boyfriend.

While she was talking, Ciara suddenly remembered Damien. But ignored the thought immediately.

When it was almost night, Leo and his sister, Leticia, left for his apartment.

“Thanks for coming.” Ciara said and closed the door.

“Good morning.” Hudson said as he came into the office.

“Good morning.” Damien replied.

“I am very sure you enjoyed the party.” Hudson said as he picked up some files.

“Yes, i did but that was some petty lie to take me out to that place.” Damien said.

“Ohh.. C’mon, you and i only know that it is only business that could take you out of the office and that too packhouse.” Hudson said.

Damien just nodded then he remembered the incident that happened at the airport and somehow he remembered what happened with Nicole.

“Something happened at the airport.” Damien said dropping his pen.

“And what is that?” Hudson said.

“I had bumped into someone at the airport and i felt these sparks i feel whenever I’m with Ara.” Damien said calling with the name he had sort for her.

Hudson just stared at him like he was speaking another language.

Then suddenly he started laughing.

“You mean you felt the sparks that you feel with Ciara.” Hudson said amidst laughing.

Damien nodded.

He continued laughing.

“The last time i checked ciara has gone missing or rather dead.” Hudson said.

A growl escaped through Damien’s mouth.

“Don’t you dare say anything regarding her being dead again, Beta.” Damien said emphasising the word ‘beta’. Cayden had taken over. He hates hearing that his mate was dead.

Hudson bared his neck in submission.

“Good.” Damien said.

“And do you know that i feel somewhat attracted to Nicole?”

“Like i feel a force compelling me to get attracted to her.” He said and went on to explain what had happened that day.

“Okay, man this is really serious.”

“I mean if Ciara was alive she would have come back to you.” Hudson said.

“And besides why do you feel attracted yo Nicole?”

“This is confusing.” Hudson said and sighed.

“Do you think she is alive?” Hudson suddenly asked.

“I don’t know.” He replied.
