Leo's Pov: 

I lent back against my chair and closed my eyes. 

God there was so much paper work to do. 

Paper work that had piled up from the past 6 months had to be completed now. Even though i'd been here for 3 hours I'd only managed to finish 1 months worth. This was all Cardan and Venus's fault. 

The last time they'd all visited Cardan and Vee decided to have a fight. Of course it ended in absolute chaos, meaning they'd destroyed the whole bottom half of the house, which took 5 moths to reconstruct. 

 I hadn't even been able to have a proper nights sleep.

The insomnia pills that Paris had prescribed to me weren't working. They only let me sleep for 2-3 hours, and then once I'd wake up I couldn't be able to return to sleep. Well i guess i'd see him in a couple of days anyway, I'd ask him then. 

Paris was The Santiago family doctor. Once our mother fell ill, Paris threw himself into finding a cure and through that he became well versed in medicine, he became incredibly infatuated with the subject and managed to graduate from medical school at only being 19 years old. It scared me how clever Paris was. 

I don't know when it was that I was diagnosed with insomnia, but its been so long that I cant even remember how it felt to have a good nights rest. My sleep was never peaceful, and it would be like that for a long time. 

Paris said it could possibly be trauma related. Perhaps he was right. Out of my siblings I was the only one to have witness both my mothers death and my older brothers death. Both were also my fault. 

He said that even though I'd tried to supress the memories, my brain couldn't always hold them down for me and so when I tried to relax my brain would unconsciously let them out, making me unable to fall asleep due to the fear of reliving them. 

It made sense. All the dreams I had were of those memories I'd tried to supressed. It was better to not sleep. I'd rather let myself die of exhaustion, then have to relive those again. 

Then the Rozario's had to have an input in everything I did. No matter. They'd soon be gone. Speaking of the Rozario's,  it reminded me that Cassian Valentino was not going to be happy that I hadn't told him of my return. 

A knock on the door startled me. 

"Come In." I said when I'd adjusted my self on my chair. 

A nervous Head popped through the door. It was Lucas. Lucas Katz, the leading commander of section/sector 1. 

I never understood just how Katz managed to make it all the way to sector 1, AND become the commander, was unknown to me, but, I trust Venus and her selections. So i was willing to let it go. 

"Yes? I assume you need something?" He really needed to learn to speak. 

"Well, uhm." he started nervously. "M-miss Angel-" 

He didn't need to say another word as I could already hear a sweet sickly voice coming down from the corridor. 

"Let me through right this instance! Do you even know who I am?" It said. 

Angel Rosalyn Pierrta. The only daughter of the Million dollar jewellery company owner. Pierrta Jewellery. The Pierrta company was a designer Jewellery company that produced the best jewellery there ever was, because of this they raked in a lot of money, making them the most expensive designer company there was. 

House Of cards did regular business with them from time to time, they sold gemstones. Mirae was even a regular at their stores as she loved jewellery. Meaning we were on friendly terms with them. 

Angel however, I definitely wasn't on friendly terms with. Why the fuck was she back here again. In fact I explicitly remember me ordering no one to let her into the estate. 

See the thing was. Angel was in love with me. No matter how many times i'd told her that i didn't like her, she would only insist on it more. She wouldn't leave me alone. This was why i'd told them to let no one in. 

Why the fuck does no one listen.

I looked up at Katz in anger. He looked down at the floor afraid. Good i hope he knew how angry i was. Angel was the most annoying person I had ever come across. 

I groaned, Chase wasn't even here, he'd gone with the girl to get her some new clothes. Speaking of which they'd been gone for 3 hours. What the fuck was taking them so long? Anyways if Chase were here then he would go and deal with Angel. Of course when the stupid idiot had a chance to be useful he wasn't here. 

"Do not let her in. Do not let her know I'm here. Tell her I'm not here. OK? Can you do that for me?" I asked Katz desperately. 

"Yes sir!" he replied back looking determined. 

Two minuets later the door flung open and Angel strolled through. 

God that man was useless. Never again am I going to ask anything from him. In fact im going to demote him. I don't care if Venus thinks he's good. 

Angel stopped and looked around the room and finally her light brown eyes settled on me. her mixed brown and blonde hair was in gentle waves  reaching the middle of her back. She wore a black turtle neck with a beige shirt, a black skirt and knee high boots. She was an extremely pretty girl. Many people found her pretty, she was a model for designer brands after all. However she wasn't for me. 

"What the fuck do you want" I finally broke the weird silence. 

"You." she winked. 

"Angel. Stop it. I've told you multiple times I'm not interested. So if there isn't anything you need then please leave before I loose it." I warned. 

she scoffed "Oh come on Leo, darling you went away for 6 months without telling me! And then when you came back you made no effort to see how I was." 

"Angel. Please. I have nothing to talk to you about. I also believe that it isnt your business where I go or what I do."  I reminded her. 

"Well-" she started 

"LEOOOO." A voice from the corridor screamed. 

Chase. He was back. I have never been so glad to hear his annoying little voice. Thank god.
