C10 Chapter 10
"Come on Leonardo you need to calm down"George said to Leonardo who sat fuming in the passenger seat
"Stay out of my business" he growled flinging the car door open and storming out
George stared at the empty seat That's when he spotted Leonardo's phone abandoned on the seat "He forgot his phone" George muttered
______
The door burst open and George rushed in his face etched with panic "It's an attack" he exclaimed scooping Isadora up in his arms and sprinting towards the car

"That's it?" Emily asked
Coco nodded"Yes"
"I just hope this doesn't land me in hot water"
"You're a blogger not a criminal" she said Then the familiar ping of a new message made her phone buzz "Shit" she cursed, scanning the text message With a quick excuse she ran out of the restaurant
Keller's eyes narrowed "Are you sure she can be trusted?" he asked
"I couldn't care less about trust All I need is a boost in followers"

🏥 At the hospital coco approached Isadora with an apologetic smile "Are you okay?"
Isadora nodded, Jane and Mark burst into the room"Are you alright?"
"I knew that Leonardo was nothing but a monster! A heartless wicked devil!" mark spat his hands balling into fists
"You're spot on" Coco agreed
"He deserves a good beating for what he's done to Isadora"
"Damn right" coco said
"I wish I could put a bullet through his skull"
Coco's voice rose with urgency"And if you do it'll be your sister who'll take the bullet instead"
"How dare you?"
"How dare you talk about killing my brother?"
"Oh so Leonardo's your brother? It all makes sense now You're as violent as he is Like brother, like sister If he's a woman-beater then I bet you're a man-beater too"mark said
"You're out of line" Coco shouted her fists clenched in rage
"What are you going to beat me, huh? "
Coco stepped forward "I will....
"Come on, guys Let's not fight" Jane said
Mark scoffed and coco roll her eyes at mark
"Roll your eyes at me one more time and I'll make sure they roll right back into your head"mark yelled
"You-"coco said
"Guys please" Jane pleaded, raising her hands in a placating gesture"Can we just stop this?"

As Leonardo open the door, With the force of a freight train George's fist connected with Leonardo's face sending him reeling backward
"What the hell was that for?!" Leonardo demanded wiping the blood from his split lip
"Are you kidding me? You left her to die! You didn't even visit her in the hospital"
"I don't care"
"She almost died!" George thundered
"If she died I'd be ecstatic Free at last from her clutches,"
"And you're telling me that would've made you happy?"
"yes I will"
Another punch landed this time sending Leonardo staggering into the nearest chair
"You're a monster Leonardo, A heartless cruel monster"
With a dismissive wave of his hand Leonardo settled into his seat a chilling smile curling his lips "That's not the first time I've heard that so I'll take it as a compliment"
George stalked towards the door "You'll regret this Leonardo Mark my words"
But before he left he paused one last question burning on his tongue "Aren't you going to visit her at all?"
Leonardo turned his back his silence deafening George's jaw clenched his hand white-knuckled on the doorknob as he walk out closing the door behind him
Leonardo massaged his battered face"He almost destroyed my face" he muttered to himself just as the door creaked open
"What the...?" he trailed off his gaze falling on the vision standing in the doorway
She was a goddess her curves flaunted in a sultry dress that revealed just enough to set his blood aflame
"Good evening. My name's Alice. I'm a friend of Coco's. Is she in?"
"N-No, she isn't here" he stammered his eyes roving shamelessly over her body
"Oh," Alice replied seemingly oblivious to the heat radiating from his gaze Her clutch bag tumbled from her grasp and she bent down to retrieve it the slit in her dress inching higher
Leonardo swallowed hard his heart pounding in his chest as he watched her
"Maybe you should wait for her here,"
Alice smile and slid into a nearby seat"Alright then" she murmured
Leonardo wasted no time seating himself next to her his gaze devouring her with reckless abandon
She cocked her head to one side "You seem to like what you see," she purred her body angling towards him
His pulse quickening Leonardo struggled to find his words "A-Actually..." he stuttered the syllables dying on his lips
Alice ever the temptress was already perched on his lap her hips rocking against his dick
Leonardo swallowed hard, his mind racing."This temptation..." he thought
Alice her hand guiding his own to her b**b, arched her body towards him, her voice a smoky whisper "Don't you like what you see Leonardo?"
"I can't resist any longer" Leonardo breathed
His hands deftly untied the straps of her dress his fingers trailing down her body with agonizing slowness Alice responded with equal fervor her hands running through his hair as their mouths melded together in a fiery kiss
Their clothes fell to the floor inch by inch.......
In the shadows of the room a camera whirred quietly capturing every last moment in high definition detail

The scene at the fan signing was a whirlwind of flashes autographs and Leonardo basking in the adoration of his admirers Smiling and shaking hands
But then, in a single moment the idyll shattered. An egg splattered against his chest, the yolk oozing down his designer shirt. The room went silent as if time itself had paused.
A woman strode forward "You're shameless Your wife's in the hospital and you cheat on her"
Leonardo stood motionless his face an impenetrable mask as he processed the weight of her words
"Oh you don't understand? Check your phones, everyone 'Parrot Talks' has the video of this shameless man"
In a chorus of taps and clicks the phones came out and the video spread like wildfire
The crowd erupted in a frenzy of disappointment and rage Eggs flew like bullets fan signs crumpled to the ground and the once adoring crowd transformed into an angry mob
"What is going on?" he shouted over the tumult, his voice lost in the chaos
Security rushed to his side forming a shield against the onslaught Karen guided him towards the exit the angry cries of the fans still ringing in their ears
what the heck is going on" he yelled
Karen showed him the footage on her phone Leonardo's eyes widened "She set me up"
"Sir, this is totally out of control. We need to get you out of here."
As they hurried towards the exit Leonardo caught sight of an open window Before he could close the window an egg came hurtling towards him smashing into his eye with a sickening crack......
