Empire- An Au Hs Fanfic (COMPLETED)

Chapter 38

Leslie's POV*

I was exhausted. 3 days and I finally get to go home tomorrow. 3 days of stressing over Dakota who was at the top of my worry list. I closed the deal with the Russians who allowed me to build 6 more hotels here at 500 million each that would make me a billionaire. I closed a 50 million dollar contract to supply them with coke which made me incredibly happy about this but I was stressed about what to do about Dakota. 

"Hey baby." "Hey." I said to Harry as I face timed him. It was nighttime there but day here. "What's wrong?" "I'll explain when I get home. How's your family?" "They're great. I owe you one." "I know how you could pay me back." I grinned as I looked at him through a cheesy grin. 

"Really now? Do tell." He put an arm behind the back of his head and smirked. "Make me dinner." "It's a date" He winked and I giggled like a child. 

I fell asleep with him and eventually hung up with him. I yawned as I woke up, slipping on my last outfit I had which was a pair of jeans with Harry's white t-shirt and my vans. I brushed through my hair and left it natural as I walked to the car downstairs. 

I took home some liquor for my husband to enjoy since he says american liquor is watered down. I took the flight home with Octavio, Felipe and Marcus. 

"I know you're excited to go home to your husband but we have bad news." Marcus said and my smile was replaced by a frown. "What?" They all looked at eachother. 

"Dakota took our Chile operation down completely. We need to find another place to begin production." Felipe said and my heart crumbled. "What?" "Chile is compromised. Every single spot in there. We need to find a new place to build production." 

"When do we leave?" I sighed and they looked at me sadly

 "Tonight. 3 in the morning. We've assembled your team to come too." Octavio said and I nodded. That meant Anthony, Sebastian, Mel, Jessica and Michael were going but I wanted to see my husband. "Okay." Was all I could say before falling asleep on the couch. I knew this was not going to sit well with Harry. 

I arrived at home around midnight to see the house empty and the alarm go off which I shut down. I jogged up the stairs to bump into Harry. 

"Jesus you scared the shit out of me." He mumbled into my hair, hugging me. I held him tightly and bursted into tears from stress. 

"What's wrong? Baby?" He asked and I shook my head, being picked up and dragged into our room. He shut the door and locked it behind him. 

"I have to go. There's this nasty woman who just took down my entire Chile operation. I need to go deal with her and pick locations for my new production sites. I wanted to just come home to my husband but I can't even have that." I sobbed into his chest as he sat with his back against the headboard and me on his lap. I was straddling his waist.

"What? When do you leave?" "Today. I leave at 3 in the morning." "That's in like 3 hours!" Harry's voice was on edge. "I know. I'm so sorry." I sobbed and hugged him tightly. "It's work. It's okay. Just come home safely to me baby please." "I will. I promise." I whimpered and he sighed. 

"You have to pack baby." He pressed a kiss to my head and I nodded. "I don't want to." I looked into his green eyes and he smiled sadly. "I know. Neither do I but I don't want to see your empire fall." "Our empire we're married." I corrected and he sighed. 

"I love you. Be safe please." "I will. I love you more." I pressed a soft kiss to his lips before going and packing a new bag. 

"How long this time?" Harry asked after I took a shower. I slipped on a pair of tights and Harry's shirt, like always. I slipped on my white heels and looked at him. 

"Two days max. I'm taking Sebastian, Jessica, Mel, Anthony and Michael for backup to be done faster. We were a team back then and I need them because I want to come home already. I'm tired of working, I want my husband. I miss you." I said and he sighed, hugging me softly. 

"I know baby. I miss you too." He kissed my head and we laid in bed with eachother, joking around about stupid things and he told me about his family. 

"Ready?" Harry asked and I nodded sadly. I took my duffel bag and walked with him down the hall. I could see the light under the rooms that suggested they were still awake. I wanted to meet them but I had to deal with this. 

"Hold on." Harry said and stopped infront of his mom's room. "Hey mom. I'll be back." He opened the door and stepped halfway in, holding my hand in his. 

"Yeah, she's back but there's a work emergency. She has to leave so I'll drive her and I'll see you in a little bit." Harry said and I could hear mumbles but couldn't piece together words. 

"No, you can meet her when she get's back in a couple days." More mumbles followed. "No. She's not fake. I promise." He seemed annoyed which made me giggle and he shot me a grin. "Yeah, that was her laughing." He chuckled before closing the door. 

"They think you're fake because I haven't introduced you." Harry said and I frowned. "I'm sorry. I'm trying to come home." "I know baby. Want to get late night burgers?" Harry asked with a grin when he drove. 

"With you? Anyday." I said making him laugh, intertwining my hand in his. We went to a burger place and walked in. 

"Date?" He asked and I nodded happily. "I owe you a real date when I get back." "I agree woman." Harry responded as we got our food. 

"You guys are so cute, how long have you guys been dating?" The elderly woman asked politely making Harry and I burst into laughter. 

"We're married." I said and her mouth opened. "What? You're so young!" "I know. I just looked at this woman and had to make her mine for the rest of my life. Just look at her. Beautiful, kind, smart, determined and goddamn stubborn." Harry said making me blush. 

"You guys are cute. I hope for the best for you." "Thank you." I responded before we ate and drank our drinks. 

"I don't want to go." I whined as we arrived to the airport. My team was here already which made me sigh. "You have to." Harry handed my bag and we got out. 

"Take care of her please." Harry said to Sebastian as they bro hugged. "I will. We will. We're here to get her home earlier." Anthony assured and Harry nodded. Jessica and Mel hugged Harry and Michael bro-hugged him. 

"Take care of her." Harry's voice was begging. "I will." Michael responded and Harry turned to me. 

"Be safe. Come home to daddy when it's over." He hugged me and whispered in my ear making me smile. I hugged him back and kissed his shoulder. 

"I will daddy." I whispered before pressing a kiss to his lips then boarded the plane before I began crying again.
