"What do you mean by that? Senator Leo.." He said still shocked.
Langford sighed and then smiled.
"I know you all wouldn't believe me cause of the charitable works he usually does but then he's actually the worst after James. James is the head of the drug lord in China and he's one of the board members.." Langford said and Damien shook his head.
"What?" He said and shook his head.
"Senator Leo..' He said and then walked out. Unknown to him, Langford had succeeded in losing the ropes a bit. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Finally, I can get myself out of here, if I try more harder.." He told himself and then smiled.

Damien got into his car and drove off angrily
"Senator Leo.." He said and hit the sterling hard.
"Gosh! I know how greedy you are but I never knew you are as greedy as this. You are so greedy!" He yelled and then bursted into tears.
His phone rang and he wiped off his tears and then took his phone. He dropped the phone without answering the call when he saw that it was Elle calling.
He picked up his phone and then dailed a number. The person picked up almost immediately.
"Damien…" The masculine voice called.
"I'm in New Zealand for some work. I have some spare time. Can I see you?" He asked.
"Of course, do you know how much I have been waiting for this. I'm really glad you are coming over.."
"Do you want your favourite dishes prepared? How about I.."
"You don't need to bother, I will be only staying over for a few minutes.." He said and hung up.
Damien tightened his hands on the sterling.
"If I ever find out you are involved in this. I will have to forget everything and bring you down, you and your foolish cohorts.." He said and drove off speedily.

"Mummy, what do you think of this drawing?" Kiera asked Elle who looked like she was lost in thoughts.
There was no response from her and Kiera had to tap her.
"Mummy, what happened?" Kiera asked again and that was when Elle jolted out of her reverie.
Elle smiled.
"It's nothing princess, I'm fine.." She smiled and Kiera kissed her cheek.
"What was that?" Elle chuckled.
"To make you feel better.." She said and Elle smiled and hugged her tightly. Kiera smiled and pulled out of the hug.
"Mum, look at this, I drew something.." She said and showed her the drawing of three people.
"This is me.." Kiera pointed to the smaller creature she drew.
"This you and that my daddy.." Kiera said and Elle lokked away.
"Kiera has been talking a lot about her dad since she came here. What do I tell her?" Elle thought.
"Mum, where's my daddy? You promised to tell me where he is but where is he? Do I even have a father?" Kiera asked.
Elle shook her head and cupped her cheeks.
"Baby, you have a dad. Just that.." She paused.
"He's not here with us as of the moment.." Elle said.
"Doesn't he know I was born?" Kiera asked and Elle closed her eyes for a minute, then she opened them.
"Did he abandon us because he doesn't love us?" Kiera asked, her eyes getting teary.
"No, no, no. That's not the case. Your daddy will never abandon us.." Elle said.
"I'm the one keeping you away from him in order to protect you. I'm so sorry.." Elle thought.
"He's just busy at the moment. He knows you were born and he really loved you baby, he does but he's far away from us now so he can't visit us or be with us for now but he loves you.." Elle said and pecked her cheek.
Kiera smiled.
"Baby, promise me you will stop asking about your daddy for now. Please.." She said and Kiera sighed.
"When I met handsome, it just felt like he's my dad, that's why I keep on asking. I'm so sorry mum. I won't ask you that question again.." Kiera said and Elle smiled.
"It's no problem. Just have it in mind that your daddy and mummy loves you very much…" Elle said and Kiera hugged her.
"I love you mummy. Very very much.." She said and Elle kissed her hair.
"Mummy.." She broke the hug.
"I have to get some set of crayons for my colouring books but I don't have them here, please can you go to the mall and get for me?"
"Of course, I'll go now if you want.." She said.
"Yes, please…." Kiera poured and Elle pecked her lips.
She stood up and grabbed her bag.
"I'll be back soon.."
She walked out and then got into her car. As she was in her car, she decided to rewind some of the conversations of James and his wife. Of course, she had everything connected in her car. She needed to be alert at all times. After listening to it for a while, her eyes widened. She paused it immediately.
"Senator Leo.." She said and then hurriedly dailed Damien's number. It rang for several seconds but he didn't answer it.
"What's wrong with him lately?" Elle groaned and then sighed.
All she knew was that he was related to Senator Leo in some way.
She halted the car and then came out of it.

Jason sighed and looked around. He was on the phone with Nick.
"What do you say you want again?" Jason asked, already frustrated.
"Crayons.."
"What?"
"What the hell do you need that for Nick? Are you crazy?" He asked.
"You know what I can't get it. You better come and get it yourself.." Jason said and made to hang up the call.
"Pretty please, just please.." Nick said and Jadon sighed.
"Fine.." He said and hung up.
"That brat!" He yelled.
He started looking around for the crayons he asked him to get.
Meanwhile, by the other side, Elle stood looking for a particular colour of crayon to buy for Kiera. She smiled when she sighted and then she raised her to get hold of it but she was too short, so she started struggling to get it.
Jason sighed and then turned. His eyes met with the back of a young lady. She was trying so hard to reach to a packet of crayon. Jason smiled for a moment and walked up to her. Unknowingly he touched her waist as he helped her to get it.
"Here.." He said and Elle's eyes widened. She recognised that voice. She turned immediately but her head bumped into his chest, due to how close they were standing. Jason furrowed his brows but when she raised her head up at him. His eyes widened.
"Elle.." He called like a whisper as his heart started to race faster.
