HEAD OVER HEELS : CHAPTER 111 – THE END
BY SUCCY J
♪A LOVE TO HEAL***♪
(LEONARDO MANSION)
“Capo” Everyone chanted and bowed down as he walked in majestically. He sat down and crossed his legs looking at the guards.
This was more than a meeting, this was more than crossing line with the wrong people. It is either romano go down or there will be no peace.
“How is sit going?” He asked, his gaze Roaming around the room.
The room went silent for a while before Matteo stood up. “The Russia mafia are 15 hours away from here by one of our spy and that’s big trouble. We alone cannot fight them which means we need one powerful mafias by our side and that leaves us with the Italian Mafia… “We don’t need them” Leonardo cut him short and Matteo sighed.
“We don’t have a choice here, you know that right. You know them, they trained you, you grow with them so I see no reason running from them” Matteo said.
Leonardo scoffed. “I don’t want to have the condition that I will have to come to Italy to be with him remember.” He glared at Matteo who just sighed.
“I can talk to him” A voice boomed and Orion stepped in. Alessandro eyes darkened as they stared at each other but he didn’t say a word. “We both know Mr is not really a bad person. He wants you and that is because he had trained you” Orion tried to convince. “You don’t come in here and try to talk shit. That’s not convincing me to go back to Italy” Leonardo said and his guards looked around and sighed.
He is such a hard man to please.
No matter what happens to him, he has made that vow not to return to the place that remind him nothing of pain.
“I know you are fearless, but This hasn’t about you Leo. People are going die. Just a sight at the Italian Mafias, the Russia knew better than coming close to us” Matteo tried to convince again.
“I said no” he yelled angrily.
Everyone bowed down and watched as he walked to the door but Orion held his shoulder stopping him. “You know he will protect you from anything no matter what.”
“I can’t protect myself” he replied and walked off.
HEAD OVER HEELS : CHAPTER 111 – THE END
Angel yawned loudly, as the moon shone brightly through her window, finding it’s way to her eyes.
She groaned and turned to the other side and sighted Leonardo at the balcony drinking.
He looked so deep in taught almost like something was bothering him. “Hey babe” She called and wrapped her tiny hands around his waist. Leonardo just sighed but didn’t bother to look at him. “I taught you said you were having a meeting. So why are you here?” She asked softly. “I cut it off because I had something to think about” he murmured, sincerity laced in his tone.
Angel nodded. “I will just leave you to your taughts then” she said and tried to walk away but he grabbed her hand softly.
He chuckled and turned to look around, a smile on his lip.
He lead to a chair and made her sit of his thigh as they stared at the full moon which seems to add colour to the night.
“You wanted to know my family and history right?” He whispered nibbling her ear and angel nodded. “Do you have the time to listen now?” He asked yet again and angel nodded, her big eyes fixed on her, ready to hear the history of the man behind the name Leonardo.
He stared at her for a while almost searching for approval or trust and then he smiled.
“First I am going to start with the story of my parent. My parent relationship were not usually the type most children are happy to listen to. My mum was a bartender at a club and my dad was just a random man who decided to visit the same club. My nanny then told me my mother was the epitome of beauty, has everything that could make a man go crazy just like you” he pinched her nose, and angel giggled softly.
“My mum wedding was just 10 days to go but just as my dad set his eyes on her, he asked her out but my mum refused and that had made him angry. On her wedding day, he kidnapped her husband which is Darly father and present himself as the husband. When she refused, a gun was pointed at everyone and she had no choice but to marry him.”
“Her life was a leaving nightmare because she couldn’t bring herself to love him and even when she tried to, the old man was not helping matters” Leonardo said. “So she didn’t have family members or police?” She questioned and Leonardo chuckled.
He gripped her cheek and made her look at him. “Could they save you from me?” He questioned mockingly, caughting angel off guard.
She frowned and hit his chest playfully..
“She tried the police but they couldn’t, some who did because they knew Mr Cooper was killed by him. I was born and I got to witness the Terror. She was being locked in the basement, not allowed to go out or even see her children because he feared she was going to escape. I grew up hating him, the way he would beat up my mum and raped her” Tears were struggling to roll down but he dare not.
“At the age of 4 I had that dream of redeeming my mum from the torture, and then she had my sister. I am not going to lie when I tell I love my siblings so much. Even though Orion was the fearful one, he wouldn’t let anything happen to me. It happened when my dad started having eyes for my sister at 2 and I knew I had to end him to save all of my siblings and my mum. Everyday and year that passes by, I was always fighting with my dad hoping that I will end him. My brave was something else, both in school and home. He always made me watch torture scene because he himself knew I was stone hearted, nothing moves me except my mum tears and my siblings so he always use that to his advantage anytime I don’t cooperate. There was a time when I knew I had to save my mum but it doesn’t have to be when I kill my dad so I had someone help my mum escape even though no one knew about. For a year she was out there enjoying the freedom but my dad kept searching for and then caught her. The pain inside of me grew wide as I heard her scream and that was when I found out mum had a husband and a son which is Darly and Mr Cooper. I had a talk with him and went home only to hear the saddest news of my life..
HEAD OVER HEELS : CHAPTER 111 – THE END
(Flash-Back)
Leonardo sneak into the building and he sighed in relief as he jumped down from the fence but the sight of ambulance leaving the house brought taughts into his head and he rushed inside.
The sound of tears, walling filled the seating room. The maids were crying loudly.
Orion and Nicky rushed into his arms. “What’s going on?” He half yelled looking around in confusion.
“Mom..ma…is dead” Orion shuttered and his eyes grew dark.
How? How did it happen.
Tears roll down from his eyes and he quickly rushed upstairs. Just as he reached the door post of his mother room he heard whispers but he couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly and he couldn’t move closer due to the guard and just then the emergency tone of the house rang and they walked few meters away and he quickly used that opportunity.
“I want to clean every evidence in this scene and I want you to find the bastard and the card. If I can’t have her, then no one will. She deserves it” He gasped in horror, tears rooling down from his eyes. “Where are the kids?” Giovanni asked. “Well they are taken care of but Leo…. A guard made to say something but another one cut him off “they are all taken care of”
Without thinking twice he rushed away.

..PRESENT…
Aurora hugged Leonardo and without holding it back, he bursted into tears pulling her tightly, his tears soaking her try but he didn’t care.
This feeling inside of him needed to be somewhere else. The guilt of not saving his mother was killing him so much, the guilt of not helping her as a son made him feel worthless.
“You did your best Leonardo. You were just little” Angel murmured panting his hair and he bursted into tears again.
“Immediately I had rushed to Mr Cooper house to tell him to run but his house was on fire and two dead bodies was outside. Crowds and police were there so I ran away. I went to the police to ask for help, tell them that my dad killed them and my mum but they didn’t help. She had an innocent baby inside of her and I had secretly went to the CCTV camera to check how it happened. My dad found out about her pregnancy again, and killed her. For 15 years I carried three guilt inside of me. I couldn’t save Darly and Mr Cooper, I couldn’t save my mum, and I couldn’t save my unborn sliblling and I knew death was not the best option for me”. He cried profusely like a baby, and tears fell down from angel eyes as well.
No wonder he is cold hearted. He has seen so much things at just a young age.
“You tried your best Leo. You were young and did not have any power of your own” Angel patted his back, but Leonardo couldn’t stop crying.
This was the first time she was seeing him in tears and he didn’t care a bit.
He needed help even though he don’t ask. It might not be anything but he needed help emotionally. Everyday he dreamt about the scene of his father raping his mother, his mum lifeless body but can’t do anything.
Trauma that he tried so hard to hide but can’t.
“Orion had told my dad that I told the police about his dangerous things, and my dad had locked me up for a whole year, and was what made me angry with him.
Matteo was the son of a guard and help me escaped. I had took my slibings with me because I knew it was going to be hell in that house for them. That was when I meat with Alessandro Kang, the Chinese man born on an Italian soil. Killed 20 people at the age of 15, no families, friends so he has nothing to loose. He liked me at first sight and took us in. He started training me and Orion and we became really strong. We do all this dirty work but he never dare lay his hands on us. I Wanted to be a boss on my own, to end the existence of my father and I was just 15. Matteo helped me alot too. Alessandro helped me in training some guys to help me outake my dad, he never knew k was planning to be a boss on my own. I walked to his home, shot his asshole men. I wanted to kill him but death was too easy. I moved to New York with Nicky, Matteo and a few guards who were willing to come with me and that’s where I became the ruthless mafia after Alessandro” he finished his story, and by now he was still crying.
Angel raised his head and made him stare at her eyes but he couldn’t. He sniffed and tried to clean his tears but she stopped him. “I am going to be your wife in the next one week Leonardo and you don’t have to hide the broken side of you from me and just so you knew this, you don’t have to feel guilty of not saving your mother. She knew you tried really hard to save her.” She said softly.
Leonardo nodded his intense eyes on angel. How does she do all of this? He asked himself.
“You are strong, brave and powerful Leonardo. You always had that one taught of redeeming your mum from a man like him so the guilt was not saving her, it was letting her die in the hands of a man like him” She said gently, looking into his eyes.
Leonardo nodded not even saying anything, just watching his sadness fade away as he stared at her.
She stood up and walked to the room before coming back with a book. Leonardo rolled his eyes as he got to realize it was a Bible.
Angel chuckled at his expression. “Give it a try Leonardo” She said gently but the male refused.
“I have done so many terrible things and am sure he won’t forgive me” he said, and angel chuckled.
“He forgives no matter what and that’s if you come to him.
“Some people don’t believe in Christ and I don’t really judge then because they are some things that are so extraordinary but this book give us the peace that we can’t explain…. Leonardo settle with the past and start a new present.” She said.
Leonardo stared at her for a while before he took it from her. “Just read the book of Psalms and proverbs. That peace is waiting for you” She said.
She kissed his cheek and walked to the bed.
Leonardo turned to look at angel who just smiled at him.
Giving it a try won’t cost anything…
He opened the bible as the moon shone pass their window, almost like it had witness the most heartwarming moment, and going to tell other creatures in the sky.

(NEXT MORNING)
Angel yawned and tried to turn around only to realize she was pinned to the bed.
He stared down and smile as she saw him sleeping. His hand was wrapped tightly around his waist, and his head placed on her chest, or her boobs obviously.
‘he look like a baby right now’ she taught and chuckled. Just then there was a knock on the door.
Angel sighed and tried to moved, but he wouldn’t let her and then she smiled.
“Come in” She said. Almost immediately the door opened revealing Nicky and Serena. Their eyes widened as they say them, and then they smiled.
“Just come down. The lady who is to rent outyour wedding dress is here” Nicky and Serena giggled before walking out.
Just then Leonardo opened his eyes, yawning at the same time. “You slept well?” She asked raising her eyebrows. Leonardo chuckled before he kissed her cheek. “Good morning little kitten” he said. “Good morning my lovely demon” She said, and they both laughed.
Angel observed him, and she could swear there was something so pure in him. “So? She raised her eyebrows expecting answers but he just smiled. “I felt at peace” he said and they both smiled.
She made to walk out but he pulled her back. “The lady who is renting me a wedding dress is here” She said.
He frowned. “Rent? Excuse you, am I so poor that I can’t afford one for you?” He asked, a bit angry and angel laughed but stopped immediately when she saw the look he gave her. “I am just going to be wearing it for one day. Nothing more” Angel tried to convince. “Then your future daughter will wear it” he said and they both laughed.
“Fine… I will just have to tell her to fuck off” She said and they laughed again.
There were silent for a while before Leonardo finally spoke. “We are going to Italy tomorrow” he informed and angel just giggled happily.
“Really! It has been my dream to visit Italy” she giggled more and Leonardo smiled.
“I just need to visit a long time friend” he said. “Well that doesn’t mean I can’t explore around” she pouted her lips.
Leonardo rolled his eyes. “I can’t say no to you. Can I?” He raised his eyebrows. “Absolutely not” Angel replied.
Leonardo smiled as he watched her walk out.
He took his phone and dialed the first number on the list. “Prepare the private jet and everyone. We are going to Italy” He informed.
The sound of screams could be heard and he just rolled his eyes knowing it was from his guards….
