Chapter 2 Two

COSTA RICA: 5 p.m.

LEONARDO POV

"Family dinner by 8 p.m. tonight, Leon. Mom doesn't want any excuses this time around," Scarlett, my older sister, informed me and I sighed softly.

"I'm not in Costa Rica," I said, and she fell quiet on the other end as I loosened my tie while sitting in the back seat of my car.

"Leon, don't be ridiculous. Mum was mad the other time. Don't get her angry again," she said, and I rubbed my forehead.

"You don't believe me," I uttered softly.

"I asked your personal assistant, do you know he never lies to me? Grow up." she uttered the last part in frustration.

"I'm not a kid, sis," I mumbled, biting my lower lip.

"Agreed, so grow up," she said, and I made a mental note to warn my personal assistant.

"And don't you dare think of scaring that poor guy. Dinner by 8 p.m., don't make me storm your mansion," she warned, and I cursed under my breath. Storming my mansion is the easiest thing for my sister.

This crazy woman can do anything in her moment of anger. She's happily married with two kids, and not even her husband can stop her when she decides to go about with her crazy attitude.

My Family being one of the wealthiest in the world and country is not something I'm proud of. Dad cheated on my mom with his secretary, and that was it. My mum left the relationship and refused to offer him a divorce.. That's one thing about my mother, she's as fierce as a fighter. Dad took the best lawyers and still ended up stuck in the marriage.

He continued his unofficial relationship with his secretary, and now he has a son with her. A son that's around my age, my blood went cold at the thought of Eduardo. I rubbed my temple to remain calm, as memories of the horrible thing he did to me clouded my mind.

My eyes stung even as I thought of it. Layla, my ex. The first woman I ever fell in love with was a fashion designer. I supported her in everything, emotionally and even in her business, yet everything I did for her didn't seem enough.

After that toxicity, I wrote off relationships. No matter what I did, she wanted more, and that's when I realized that no matter what I did for her, it'd never be enough. But above all, sleeping with my stepbrother was the limit.

She cheated. Images of me walking in on them in that compromising state flashed through my memory, and I shut my eyes tight. It was supposed to be our two year anniversary as a couple.

The funniest part was the fact that I was about to propose to her, I had it all planned out, I thought as I chuckled bitterly.

I planned a dinner in her favourite restaurant, and then I'd pop the question. But there she was, f*cking my step brother like her life depended on it, as he plunged into her.

That was it. After that, I stopped involving myself in anything called relationships.

Getting over Layla wasn't exactly easy, and I don't know how I would have passed through that situation without my best buddies by my side.

I've always been the quiet type. I didn't find the idea of sleeping with numerous women fascinating. I've always been a one woman man; if I'm in, I'm in.

I've been celibate since Layla... I just quit, and now my mom has taken it upon herself to play matchmaker in my love life. It's so embarrassing. The craziest thing is the way the media keeps spreading fake news about my relationship status.

All because mom thinks it's her duty to find the right daughter in law and the perfect date. I can't count how many blind dates I've attended these past months because she won't stop until I've found the perfect one.

Mom and Scarlett are after my life. I'm sure this dinner is another plot of theirs to hook me up. I'm not thinking of marriage anytime soon. Maybe I'd get a woman to bear me a child, and that's it.

Surrogacy would do. I don't want any obsessed woman after my life, but how do I get out of mom and Scarlett's crazy ideas? I muttered under my breath, and my headache with a headache.
