12. An attack

Annie's pov

The waiter came in with our food which smells good."Annie" my name sounds so sweet from his mouth." will you like to date me if I am not engaged?"I was surprised at first but I masked it with a smile." yes, if you promise to be faithful" but unfortunately, we can't date each other, you are my boss and you are engaged." He took both my hands in his,

"Annie I promise I will change for you seek" " Are you sure Mr Dicosta?" call me Leonardo when we are alone" ok"

Are you not engaged? why do you want to date me? "I am engaged to the most beautiful girl, she has been my light at my darkest" when I almost lost my life to death, the thought of her brought me back to life.

That is how much I care and cherish my fiance, I might be a playboy but there is only one woman for me and that woman is you". Leonardo, you are confusing me, you have a fiance you cherish but you claim I am the woman for you, "you are the only woman for me Annie and you are my fiance" How? The fiance am talking about is no other person but Annie Andriano. Are you serious? I brought out my phone immediately and dialled Vicento's number.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me because of your crazy brother," he said, how can I forget my eldest brother? why did you call at this time are you not at work? I am but am at a restaurant at the moment with my boss, oh! You are with that man whore, I took a glance at him but he was not affected, I only saw him smirk.

what I am about to ask you please tell me the truth and don't hide anything from me. Who is my fiance? I asked, the man whore with you at the restaurant is your fiance and I wish I have to power to break that engagement, Leonardo took the phone from my hand,

Leonardo -" over my dead body will you break my engagement with your sister?

Vicento -"then I have an idea, I will find her a new boyfriend after killing you"

Leonardo - you call me a man whore what are you then, a saint?

Vicento - I am not engaged to anyone, so I can sleep with any girl I prefer.

I've had enough, I took the phone from him and hung up.

Is that how these old men behave? it was Luca and Leonardo behaving like school children, now Vicento and Leonardo. but they behave coldly towards outsiders i realized both Leonardo and Lucas do not like talking to people who are not family.

Mr Leonardo Dicosta, so you are my fiance and the one who stole my first kiss. yes, I am, he said At this moment, I don't know what to say. why did my parents do that, why did they engage me with you without my knowledge? I am in no position to answer that my dearest Annie, he said. So what other surprise do you people have for me? You slept with Isabella, knowing I am around. I will not forgive you.

"how do I rectify my mistakes, tell me" you are going to pretend you don't know me when we are at work." I will do anything for you to forgive me, he said. memories of what happened at the mall flashed through my mind, you watched your little slut humiliate your fiance at the mall and you did nothing.

I will punish you for what you did to me.

I was just pulling his legs and he know it, I am happy he is my fiance and he is ready to change so I have no reason to dwell on the past.

something small passed my head, what is that, isaid, a bullet passed my head, Leonardo shouted stay low.

he immediately brought out a gun from nowhere, can I get a gun too? I asked him, he put his hand in his suit pocket and brought another gun for me. the people were still shooting at us, and who the hell are those people?

"I don't know but what I know is that they are going to die," he said. he pulled me by my hand and started dragging me towards the back of the restaurant.

My feet were aching after running for a while. take your heels off, we need to get away. where are our bodyguards, I don't know the situation outside but I want you to be safe first. no, we are fighting Leonardo, we don't get away from our problems. let's face it.

he dialled a number and it turn out that, our guards are still outside, these people entered the restaurant like normal customers. Ok Annie follow my lead and obey my commands, please don't let me find a reason to worry.

I know he is used to this kind of situation but he is worried about me, fortunately, my dressing to work today is good for the situation.

I am in a suit and pats like him. he gave me a sign to run in the opposite direction, I did and I was able to see the enemies well from where I was.

I fired 3times with a swift moment.. it was fast and smooth, those fools didn't see that coming, and they dropped to the ground before realizing their mistakes. Leonardo was doing well as well, I admire him more, and within a few minutes, all our Enemies were on the ground.

Leonardo is damn good at shooting. We both had Glock 19 in our hands, I like this gun soo much. The Glock 19 is a semi-automatic pistol that is commonly used by law enforcement and military personnel.

It has a polymer frame and a short recoil system that makes it very reliable and easy to use. It fires 9mm rounds and has a 15-round magazine capacity.

You may wonder how I know so much about guns, it was part of my training, and while others are enjoying holidays, I will be learning how to use a gun. That is how I enjoyed my holidays. I even travelled with my aunty to different locations just to train. The workers and customers present were shocked, Leonardo took my hand in his and walked through the back door which leads to an alley.

Annie, I am sorry you have to go through this. It's ok. I am already part of this, A car and a few bodyguards were waiting for us. We sat in the car and he instructed the driver to f.

Drive to his home. When we got to his mansion, it was big and beautiful. We walked into the mansion without uttering a word to each other.

I will like to know the person behind the attack, and the person behind the attack we had that killed my aunt. He just nodded his head.

"Annie I was scared, I didn't want anything to happen to you but you surprised me, you are indeed Marco Andriano's daughter, the fact that you were calm during the fight baffles me.

I trained my aunt Maria not to panic when I face situations like this. He dragged me towards him and captured my lips in his hungrily, I can feel his emotions he let me go, you are not leaving my sight from today, what? no way.

there is no way am staying here with you, remember I have a home. "remember I am your fiance. I have not forgiven you yet so from today onwards you are only my boss and I am free to date whoever I feel like dating. ok, you are my secretary and I demand you stay at my house. Ok, I will sometimes spend the weekend here.

I don't want my brother to feel lonely at home. does that mean you are choosing your brother over me? I am not yet your wife Mr Dicosta. when we got home, my brother was already waiting in the sitting area for us.

the two men were going through some security details when I left them in my room.
