Change of Plans

The Izna Daily

From heir to spare again. In a shocking turn of events, we learned that the actual heir of Papadopoulos family Demitri Papadopoulos who had been announced dead five years ago was not dead at all. He was in a coma all this time and it was kept a secret for security reasons. But he has now woken up which knocks Leon Papadopoulos from being the heir to be the spare again. But how all this will affect him and his new relationship with the Yilmaz daughter is yet to be determined. And what does Hilal Yilmaz now Papadopoulos and her family think about all this drama? Only time will tell.

I won't leave you like this. You can't always hurt alone.

Leon wanted to hear those words from someone for so long. It's funny that when somebody finally said it to him it turns out to be Hilal. Someone who was supposed to be his enemy. Someone whose affection he was supposed to use for the gain of his own family.

She could've just went back to their room when he insisted but she didn't. She stayed with him, supported him, held him. Leon was sure about his feelings for Hilal for quite sometimes now but after last night should he dare hope that his feelings for her were mutual? That what he feels for her, she feels for him too?

Leon was lost in all these thoughts when Vasili's voice brought him back to reality.

"Pay attention Leonidas"

"I'm paying attention father. I have already arranged most of the things that you mentioned."

"Good. Then Demitri you'll start taking over duties from Leon as soon as you feel like it. The sooner the better."

"Yes, dad," Demitri replied to Vasili in a calm tone.

"By the way Leon, I wanted to tell you that I'm very pleased with the progress you made with Hilal. I can already tell how besotted she is with you. Very well done there son. I'm proud of you."

Leon flinched at the words but remained silent. Vasili seemed oblivious to Leon's reaction to his words and he continued on with the conversation.

"But continue what you are doing for some time more until we proceed with our big plan later. Do you understand Leon?"

"Yes father," Leon replied to Vasili at last with a strained voice.

Vasili then proceeded to talk about other business topics.

And throughout this Demitri observed Leon's expression with curiosity.

After the meeting with his father, Leon went to the library. He felt suffocated when his father was praising him for how good he did his job of seducing Hilal and make her fall for him. But what his father didn't know was that he fell hard too. He opened the library door and smiled when he saw Hilal was there. She was trying to get a book from one of the top shelves. Slowly Leon walked closer to her, his front almost touching her back. He easily pulled out the book that she was aiming for and offered it to her with a smile.

Hilal felt breathless by the nearness of Leon. She took the book from his hand and turned to face him.

"Thank you"

"That's not how you say thank you to your husband, my dear wife," Leon said to Hilal playfully.

"Oh really? Then how am I suppose to say it?"

"Like this," Leon said and then he lowered his head and softly kissed Hilal on her cheek.

Hilal felt the blood rushing to her cheeks, she blushed profusely. And watching her reaction Leon smiled a little more and proceeded to give one more kiss to her other cheek.
