“But, how? I thought you didn't know when you found out that you were going to marry me.” Leo was too confused when he spoke those words. He was surprised when he discovered that the man Blossom was talking about was him all along.
He was madly jealous that a man caught Blossom's attention, and the worst was he could barely even fall asleep when Blossom honestly told him about that man. Leo didn't know how to react if he reacted violently, and he felt ashamed.
Leo even called Wade, and he lost his cool vibes because of jealousy. He was sure that Wade was laughing his ass because of him, which made him even more humiliated.
Blossom licked her lips, “What do you mean? You are too known for being an intelligent student in school, aren't you aware of that? I always went to your building to see you secretly.”
Leo held Blossom's hand. He was looking at her hand using his eager eyes. Hearing Blossom tells him those words made him think that he had wasted two years that they weren't together. However, he was secretly supporting her; if he told Blossom about what he truly felt at that time, maybe they already had a baby.
“I thought you were visiting Storm at that time. He is known as your boyfriend, and I even heard that you have plans to marry him.” Leo explained, which made Blossom laugh hard. Blossom couldn't believe that Leo quickly concluded that she had a relationship with Storm.
Some of her friends thought she had, but she made sure she would correct them by telling them that Storm was her friend. Storm knew that what she could give to him was friendship. Even though Storm was the last man in the world, she wouldn't even consider having a relationship with him.
Storm was always there beside her, but she tried several times but was unsuccessful. And, even if Erin kept telling her that time about her cousin, she felt uncomfortable.
Blossom smiled when she realized what Erin had done to her and Leo. It looked like Erin told Leo that she had a relationship with Storm so Leo could still see her. At first, Blossom thought Leo and Erin met at their wedding, but it wasn't.
“I didn't even have any plans to consider Storm as a man, in my eyes. Aside from that, I want him as my friend, not my boyfriend. I want to be honest with you, Storm tried several times, but I always ensured that he was aware of his place in my life.” Blossom uttered. She held Leo's hand tightly and formed a straight smile on her lips.
All Blossom knew was why Erin did that to her. She thought that she could trust her. She felt that they both had the same trust for each other.
“It looks like he isn't aware of it. Did you know that when you have a car accident, he is the first person waiting for you? We even investigated it, and we found out that he went straight to the hospital from his company. He even said that he was with someone when he found out about the accident. But it looked like he knew you would get in an accident that time.” Leo was nervous when he informed Blossom what he had learned from his private investigator.
“It looked like if you didn't want him as your man, he wanted you to die so no one could have you,” Leo added, which made Blossom blink her eyes repeatedly.
Blossom sighed deeply. She was thinking about what Leo had told her because there was a part of her that didn't believe that Storm could do that to her. Storm was her knight in shining armor, and he always protected her whatever it caused, but if Storm did that, Blossom knew that she would be hurt and lose her best friend.
“Oh, I-I…” Blossom didn't know what she would say. She exasperatedly groaned before she glanced at Leo's face. “I didn't know what to say, Leo. I'm disappointed if Storm can do that. He is the one who always protects me, and I don't know if I will be hurt if he decides to kill me because I can give him the relationship that he wants.”
“Sometimes, we think that love is too simple, but there are a lot of people who can fight for their feelings even though it's wrong. There are a lot of people who are too willing to destroy themselves, so they can have the one that they like. It depends on the person, and that person who always rejects they're the one who is willing to take a risk.” Leo whispered, which made Blossom think about Erin.
She didn't know much about Erin because Erin used to be more private. When Erin was her friend, she could still recall how Erin looked. Erin was a nerd, and she's the one who helped her to teach how to use make ups, or some beauty products.
Blossom and Erin dreamed of being the model, and they would be known as the best models in the whole world. But Erin got the chance first because she was too confident, unlike her.
Blossom got the chance to be a model when she discovered that Erin and Leo had a secret affair behind her back. That time, Erin met her, and even asked her to go to her house if she didn't believe in her. Blossom was too easy to manipulate that time, and she flew out in their county because of anger. Erin knew that she hated a cheater so much, and maybe that was what Erin saw as the beginning of wrecking her marriage with Leo.
Thinking about Erin, Blossom knew how to find the answer, so she nodded to Leo because she agreed to what Leo had been telling her. But, she wasn't the type of person who would fight for her love especially if it was wrong.
She wasn't the type of person that she would tolerate herself from doing something wrong or even breaking someone's marriage. She would be sure that she won't be the woman who hurt someone because of love.
Blossom knew her worth; she didn't like to hurt someone because of her selfishness. She was getting her revenge on Erin because she broke her, betrayed her, and even made her think how stupid she was for trusting her.
It was painful that Erin broke her trust, and chose to give her a trauma to have Leo as her partner. Was it worth it to fight that the man you loved was married to your friend? Was it worth combating that, in the end, you will sacrifice the friendship they built for decades?
Blossom realized that maybe Erin didn't even think about her, and all that was important to Erin was to be happy even though she needed to break someone. All she thought wlf that she needed someone.
“Maybe, you're right.” Blossom whispered before she took the glass of water. She drank a water, and smiled to Leo.
“I don't want to think about the other people, Blossom. All I want to think about is you. I want to be happy with you because I know that we are meant for each other now.” Leo chuckled, he thought that he was too lucky to have Blossom by his side, and he thought that finally, he told Blossom about what he truly felt for her.
“L-Leo..” Blossom mumbled Leo's name because she still couldn't believe that she was talking with Leo about what they felt. “I want to be with you, too. I'm too pleased to know what you think about our marriage now.”
“I always think about it, but I don't want you to see that all I think is about you. I don't want you to think that I'm a creep or something, this is why I'm cold whenever I'm with you. I feel that you can easily see who I am, and I'm sorry that sometimes I'm being reckless, no, merciless.” Leo lowered his head before he laughed. He felt that he was suffocated, and he could feel how his cheeks turned numb.
Blossom smirked when she saw how Leo looked away so she couldn't notice that he was blushing. A powerful Fontaine was blushing in front of his wife is such a great headline, and they both didn't know that someone was secretly taking some pictures of them.

Wade was uttering more profanities when he saw that he was too late when he picked up Jane for lunch. Maybe, Jane was the one, who was managing Blossom's company but it doesn't mean that Jane would gave him another chance to eat with him because the lunch break was done.
He gripped the steering wheel as he parked his car at the parking lot, and rushed to enter the company. Wade noticed that there were a lot of women were trying to get his attention but he was pledge to a woman that he liked. He felt sorry for them because he felt that he was married to Jane, and it was only Jane who can had a big impact to his heart.
When he pushed the elevator button, it opened and he saw Jane was giving him a deathly glare which made him gulped in surrender. Why does he felt Leo was reincarnated to Jane's body? Especially whenever Jane was scowling or even mad at him.
“You're late! Did you know that the lunch break is done? I didn't even eat because I'm waiting for you.” Jane angrily greeted him, which made Wade chuckle because he felt that Jane was telling him that she loved him. He was insane, and he couldn't believe that iJanehad done this to him.
“Oh, I'm sorry, baby! Please, forgive me. Do you want me to massage you?” Wade bit his lips when he saw that Jane was stunned. Wade went inside the elevator and hugged Jane tightly.
“Wade, you are aware that someone might watch us. I don't want them to think that I'm such a gold digger because everyone knew that you're Leo's friend.” Jane muttered, which made Wade tighten his grip even more.
“Don't think about them. Are you shame that someone might see us? Jane, you are with Wade. Did you know that I'm handsome?” Wade jokes which makes Jane try even more to stop herself from laughing.
Jane didn't know that Wade had this kind of personality; he was too full of himself that sometimes she found it more irritating. Yeah, she knew that Wade was handsome and even stunning to everyone's eyes, but the appearance wasn't vital to her; it was on the inside.
Maybe, as the only lady of the Fontaine, it was too strange that she was looking for a man who had good manners and not wealth since she was born rich.
“Wade, didn't I tell you that I'm not looking for someone handsome because we are all getting older and we will all our beauty. I'm looking for a man who loves me and has good manners.” Jane was exhausted and seeing Wade's playful side made her wonder why she agreed with him again.
Sometimes, she finds Wade more interesting, and as a woman, who was born intelligent, it's too challenging for her that Wade sometimes, not sometimes, but every day acts childish.
“Yeah, I'm sorry, baby. Please, forgive me.” Wade whispered. Jane shrieked when Wade started kissing her exposed neck, and she could even feel his tongue lingering on her neck. She noticed that Wade's favorite part of her body was her neck, and she didn't even know why.
“Hmmm.. you smell lovely that I could feel my crotch hardened, baby. Did you forget that we did something nasty last night? I thought we were doing that again in my dream. That's why I didn't even dare to wake up early.” Wade bluntly exposed what they both did, which made Jane smack his hands on her waist.
