Chapter 33 : Finding solutions.

Third person point of view

Leo walked away from Luke without even looking back. " Leo. Leo, listen to me please ". Luke kept begging and shouting for him, but Leo walked up to the bedroom. He slammed the door, loud. Luke heard it and fell on the couch. He is never going to forget the expression on Leo's face which was full of hurt and how he was controlling the tears from leaking from his eyes. He didn't know what to do. He saw the paper on the couch.

He opened it and saw what was written on it. He crumbled it and threw it away in anger. He knew he shouldn't disturb Leo; at least for now. He was desperate to just explain everything to Leo, but first he needs to give him time to calm down. He sat on the couch with his head in his hands. He realized something. Why would anyone do this to him ? He wondered about the benefits one might get if they do this. Only one person came to his mind. He will tell Ken to look into it tomorrow.

He looked up and felt helpless. He has never felt this kind of despair in his whole life like he is feeling right at that moment. He was worried. He didn't know if Leo was crying and even the thought hurt him a lot. If he really sees him crying, it might break his heart. He wants to talk to Leo and tell him everything. But he convinced himself that he needs to let Leo cool down first. After a while Luke went out to buy dinner for the both of them. He didn't bring much for himself. He put the cover at the door and knocked. " Leo, please have some food. I am leaving it here ". He walked back down.

Leo took the food and ate a little. He still didn't finish the meal. He just slept on the bed, curled up. Luke sat on the couch and ate a few spoonfuls. He didn't have the appetite too. He put it aside and started drinking. In a way he was blaming himself. Only if he was more careful and only if he was able to find out first. There were so many things running and messing his mind. He drank and drank and finally fell asleep on the couch after some time.

Leo woke up in the morning and when he went down, he saw Luke curled up on the couch. He didn't want to say anything. He glanced at him and then went to the kitchen. Even if he didn't feel like it, he didn't want Luke to starve. He cooked and finished his breakfast and left a note along with the lunch box. He didn't wake Luke up and left the house. He didn't mind leaving early. Luke woke up after some time and held his head which was throbbing.

He looked around himself and picked up the bottles and everything. Deafening silence was booming around the house showing that Leo wasn't home. He threw the bottles in the bin and went to their bedroom. He washed up and then went to the kitchen. He found a note along with his breakfast and lunch. ' Eat the breakfast without forgetting '. He smiled sadly at it. He felt guilty for hurting Leo. He was angry at the person who did that. He was going to show them what he is capable of doing if they mess with the wrong person.

He finished the breakfast and went to work. He saw Ken walk in as soon as he sat on his chair. " Morning. You are late today ? " " Do you mind getting me a coffee ? Make it a little stronger ". Ken nodded and went to bring the coffee. " Here ". He came back after a few minutes and handed Luke the coffee. Ken sat in front of Luke. Luke had a bit of a headache, might be the hangover. He took a sip and it helped him relax a little.

" Now tell me what happened. You don't look normal ". Luke showed the note and pictures to Ken. Ken was equally baffled when he saw them. " What the fuck are these pictures ? " " They were sent to Leo ". Ken looked up with sadness and anger filled in his eyes. " You had a fight with him ? " Luke was looking down and nodded his head. Ken bit his lip not knowing what to say. " I could think of only one person who would do this ". Ken looked up when he heard Luke and Luke did the same.

" Kayla ". Luke nodded at Ken. " I will look into it ". Ken immediately left the place. He used all the sources he can and at the end it was indeed Kayla. Luke burst out with rage when he found out. " I will make sure she wished that she will never even think about living. Where is she right now ? " Ken held back Luke. " Luke, listen to me. Sit down. You need to calm down first ". Luke sat back and took deep breaths trying to control his temper.

" It is true that you have to teach her a lesson. I will get you the proofs too. But don't you think it is important that you patch up with Leo first ? You should speak to him and tell him. Let me tell you one thing. If you can gain his trust completely and show him you would never do something like that, do you think he will believe something like this next time ? "

Luke thought that Ken made some sense. " Speak to him and let him know. We will see till what extent Kayla is going to go. If she really crosses the limits then I will make sure that we will hit on her life hard that she will never recover again. Got it ? " Luke only stared at Ken. " I am your friend here damn it. Listen to me. I have plans on what you can do for that. So as for now, you need to get back together with Leo first. You believe me right ? " Luke nodded.

He didn't want to stop but from what he sees, Ken would have had a good plan like he told. So he can wait a few more days. " The fun is when the last strike of victory is ours, right ?" He knew Ken and the look in his eyes told that Ken was going to make sure that it happens. Just like Ken said he should speak to Leo first. " I want to speak to Leo, but he doesn't listen to me ". Ken sighed. " Give him some time until his anger goes down. He will, okay ? "
