HEAD OVER HEELS : CHAPTER 101 – 110
BY SUCCY J
****♪ COUPLE FIGHT*****
—
Angel gasped in horror as blood splattered across her face, yet she felt no pain. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw Siren lying in a pool of her own blood. Angel’s heart pounded as she turned and saw Leonardo, a gun in his hand, his expression dark and unreadable.
Without a word, Leonardo dropped the gun and moved toward her. Although uninjured, he was drenched in blood. He slipped off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders, his silence heavier than any reprimand. Angel lowered her head in shame, knowing she had provoked his anger.
Tears filled her eyes as she searched for something, anything, to say, but words felt empty. She knew she’d messed up, and he did too. His gaze was intense, almost blazing with fury, yet he was holding himself back. “Leo…” she whispered, attempting to bridge the silence.
“Shut up, little kitty. You’ve done enough today,” he murmured sternly, and she knew better than to push further.
Just then, Matteo entered with a group of guards, their clothes soaked in blood, sending a chill down her spine. Angel glanced at Siren’s lifeless form and felt a bitter scoff rise in her throat.
“Romano got away, but we managed to capture Dante,” Matteo reported. Leonardo gave a curt nod. “We also found a girl, and Darly’s outside—he’s losing a lot of blood. I’ve already called an ambulance,” Matteo added.
Leonardo’s eyes widened in panic. He started to walk away but turned back to Angel, noticing her injuries. With a scoff, he picked her up in a bridal carry and descended the stairs.
Dizziness blurred her vision—perhaps a consequence of Romano’s beating—and the pull of darkness threatened to consume her, but she fought to stay conscious. She had to know if Darly was okay. “Sleep, little kitten,” Leonardo ordered, but she resisted.
“Don’t make me repeat myself. Darly will be fine,” he assured her, and she finally surrendered to the beckoning darkness.
“Incendiare la casa,” Leonardo commanded Matteo. Nodding, Matteo understood and set about carrying out the order.

(LYCOON CARE HOSPITAL)
The wail of sirens filled the air as Darly was loaded onto a stretcher. Mr. Cooper’s face went pale as he rushed to his side. “What happened? What’s going on?” he demanded, voice laced with panic.
“He was already stabbed before we got there,” Matteo replied.
Mr. Cooper grasped Darly’s hand, his worry etched deeply as Darly remained unconscious, oblivious to the turmoil he’d left behind. Meanwhile, Nicky and Serena hurried to Angel, still draped over Leonardo’s back, her wounds alarming them. “What happened? Is she alright? Why is she bleeding?” Serena asked, voice trembling.
A stretcher was brought, and Leonardo carefully laid Angel down, rage simmering within him as he watched her being wheeled away. Romano’s audacity, his nerve to lay a hand on her, was fueling his wrath.
“How dare he touch her?” Leonardo muttered, a dark smile playing on his lips. He’d shown Romano too much leniency simply because of his ties to the Russian mafia. But enough was enough.
Touch his queen, and you invite death.
Inside the hospital, the nurses exchanged fearful glances as Leonardo walked past. The shadows of what had transpired that day lingered, making his presence even more intimidating.
“Do you think he’s going to be alright?” Mr. Cooper asked, stepping closer. Leonardo couldn’t respond, the words heavy in his throat.
Darly had to be okay. Leonardo wanted nothing more than to reach out, to ask for his forgiveness, to ease his suffering—the suffering he’d endured for his sake.
He remembered the first day he’d met Darly. Just a boy, seeking solace, after his mother’s desperate words brought him to Mr. Cooper’s door.
*********
(FLASH BACK)
The young man looked around the environment and scrunched his face in disgust.
He can’t believe his mother has been leaving here!
He knocked gently on the door but got no reply and then he knocked again. Just then the door opened revealing a young woman. Maybe in her late 30s
He frowned as he stared at them. “He has been cheating on mum and just when she was gone, he brought in his new lover” he taught glaring at the woman who just huffed.
“Can I help you little cutie?” The woman said with a smile and he frowned.
How much he hated someone calling him cutie. “Why are you in this house? Are you the bitch that man is cheating on my mum with?” Leonardo half yelled and the woman just stared at him in confusion.
“Excuse you little brat. Am Just a nanny here” She said and his eyes widened in realization.
“Whatever. I am looking for Mr Cooper?” He said. The nanny stared at him for a while before she offered him inside.
“Mr Cooper went out. He will be back soon” She informed and Leonardo nodded.
His eyes moved to the baby laying on the couch giggling, and his eyes sparkled. His lips twitched into a smile as he tried to pick it up but the nanny stopped him. “That baby has a weight and clearly you can’t hold it” She said.
“I am 10. I can carry him” He yelled Darkly. The nanny stared at him with fear but huffed.
She can’t be scared of a little kid! If only she knew how many people avoided him both in school and home because of how dreadful he was. He might be little but he has a mind and heart of a sinful man who has nothing to loose.
At this age a strom was within him, then what if he has grown up? His name clearly will bring terror to the people that know him.
The door opened revealing a man. Leonardo stood up and quickly rushed to him.
He stretched his hand out. “I am Leonardo, your wife son, and you must be my mum husband for the one year?” He said glaring at him.
The older man stared at him for a while with surprise written all and over his face and then he chuckled. “Your mum was Right about you. You are something else” He said. “Yes I am your mother husband for one year” he said mockingly and took his hand while he just huffed.
Cooper turned to look at the nanny who was still staring at them. “You can go upstairs with Darly” he said.
“No I want to carry him but she won’t allow me” Leonardo hissed glaring at the nanny who scoffed.
Mr Cooper laughed seeing the hate tension between both. “Just go home and come back tomorrow morning” he instructed.
The female bowed down and walked out, not without Leonardo glaring at her.
He giggled as he slowly took the little kid who yawned before cuddling back and that alone made Leonardo smiled. “He is just a little cutie just like my sister” he said smiling.
Mr Cooper smiled and sat close to him. “Do you know where your mother is?” He asked, but Leonardo didn’t answer him. “I have been looking everywhere for her but I can’t find and I am scared she run away but I know she can’t except… That beast took her” he muttered and then his eyes widened just as if he remembered something.
“My mum told you about my dad?” He asked and Cooper nodded. “We have been running away from him. I report him to my boss to make an arrest but they refused” Cooper said.
Leonardo scoffed. “He paid the police to cover every of his sinful doings. So what do you think?
Mr Cooper sighed and roughly his hair. “I need to do something.” He yelled.
“You don’t want to mess with my dad Mr Cooper. Mum wanted me to tell you to run with the baby else my dad will kill you” he said, and Mr Cooper huffed.
“What happened to you? There are so many bruise on you?” Mr Cooper said staring at Leonardo who just ignored him. “Does it hurt?
“Nope. Every scar remind me how I want to protect my mum from a monster and I must succeed” he muttered.
Mr Cooper hugged him and patted his hair.
His phone ranged and he rolled his eyes when he saw it was a message from Matteo. “You better hurry Leo. The guards are looking for you already”
“Damn it!” He muttered. “I need to go Mr Cooper” he said as he continue staring at the baby. “His name?” He asked. “Darly” Mr Cooper replied.
“I might not see him again but I would love to so… He took out one of his bracelet and wore it on the baby who cooed.
He dropped him gently and turned to Mr Cooper. He smiled and hugged him. “Thank you so much for bringing so much joy to my mother even if it was just a year. You guys created a perfect baby and I am sure the one of the way will be perfect too” Leonardo said smiling but then Mr Cooper frowned.
“Isabella is pregnant again?” He yelled and then Leonardo realized he hasn’t know anything.
“Yes.. “oh my goodness! I need to do something to get her out of there” Mr Cooper yelled as he roughly his hair.
Leonardo sighed. “You are right! We need to do something to save mum Else dad will kill the baby out of anger.” Leonardo said.
His phone peeped again and he sighed seeing the message. “I will come visit you tomorrow. I need to go” He said.
He hugged me Cooper one more time, kissed the baby before he rushed out.

HEAD OVER HEELS : CHAPTER 101 – 110
(PRESENT)
The fact that he couldn’t remember his name was killing him. He had fallen so much for the baby and maybe that was the reason he hadn’t kil him because he really wanted to.
Darly had wore exactly the same bracelet on that day and then suddenly lost interest in killing him.
What if he had done it? What if he had killed his stepbrother.?
The doctor rushed of the ward and everyone rushed to him. “He has lost alot of blood so we need someone to transfer blood to him. The problem now is his blood type is Ab which is very hard to find, but I have sent someone to get it in manila Philippines.”
“That would be 24 hours. By that time, my son would have died” Mr Cooper yelled. “I am Ab. I can do it for him” Leonardo said.
“Are you sure?” Nicky asked and he nodded.
“Okay then. Let’s not waste any more time” the doctor muttered and lead Leonardo into the ward.
Angel opened her eyes slowly, only to be met with the white wall. She was getting familiar with it already.
She turned to the other side and saw someone with their back turned, smoking. She didn’t need to be told; it was Leonardo.
“Leo?” she called softly. Slowly, he turned around, still smoking, his gaze piercing through her, and she swallowed hard. He was still furious with her—there was no doubt.
“What happened to you?” she asked, noticing the IV drip, but he didn’t respond.
“So, how does it feel to play the hero?” he asked darkly.
“I’m sorry!” she apologized, realizing she’d made a mistake, but he merely scoffed.
He tilted her chin up to meet his gaze, smirking as his hand traced the bruises on her body. “I asked you a question, little kitten, and I want an answer.”
“I don’t know what to say,” she admitted, tears welling up.
“I told you to stay put, but you escaped,” he growled. “You ran to that man as if you wanted him to have you.” His voice rose, and, unable to bear it, she slapped him.
Leonardo paused, a dark look in his eyes. Angel’s tears flowed freely as they stared at each other. Her crying tore at him, but he fought the urge to soften.
“Don’t say that to me, Leonardo. I know I was wrong, but don’t ever say that,” she said, voice trembling. “I thought he’d release Darly if I went.”
“And what about you, Angel?” he demanded angrily.
Her eyes widened; he hadn’t called her by her name in a long time.
“You never listen. You think you know everything,” he spat. “I said I’d get him out. But you wanted to be the hero—so desperate you exposed yourself to them like you were begging for it. Acting like the innocent girl, but look at you.”
Angel broke down again, and Leonardo sighed, running a rough hand through his hair, his anger fraying. “Little kitten,” he said softly, reaching for her, but she pushed him away.
“Get out!” she cried, her voice breaking.
The door opened to reveal Nicky and Serena, who looked at them in shock. “What’s going on?” Nicky asked, but no one answered.
“Get out. I don’t ever want to see you again,” Angel sobbed.
Leonardo scoffed and took hold of her chin. “That’s not possible, sweetheart. You’re mine, remember?” he said darkly as she continued to cry, struggling against him.
“What’s going on?” Serena repeated.
Leonardo finally released her, stepping back and walking out, leaving Angel to bury her face in the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
