He paused when he saw jail, but like Leonica, he recognized the male in seconds and he wasn't in the slightest bit pleased to see Jamil

Thinking that he might have yet another rival, couple with the fact that famil Vanadas, was the tanned skin pretty boy Leonica had dated back in high school, wasn't setting; well with the blonde male. Enjoy Ad Free Headings>

Benjamin Romero Has A Love Child.

The first everboy Leonica had brought home during her high school days was Jamil Varadas.

His appearance; tall, tanned skinned, slightly curly brown hair that accentuated his popping blue eyes.

The typical look for spoilt high school bullies. The look that Benjamin and Cassandra Romero, didn't like.

So of course, they weren't big fans of the idea of him and weren't hesitant about showing their disapproval.

At that time, Owen had just begun his second year in his school and just like Leonica's parents, he was also against their relationship. For his own reasons of course.

So when word reached him a few months later that Leonica had broken up with Jamil because of how insecure he was of her, family wealth, smartness and all, Owen was glad. He was more thanglad

So now, staring right at the very same person he was glad Leonica had gotten rid of, he wasn't very pleased.

Jamil however, didn't seem to recognize Owen and simply gave him a smile, then turned back to Leonica.

"Leonie," He called in a sing song voice, enjoying how she looked like she was about to bath his face in at that moment.

She looked more cate than deadly.

"I'll be waiting for your response. But you see, in this case, it wouldn't be ideal to keep me waiting for too long." Waving, he tuned back to Owen, smiled once then walked past him, leaving the office. "Was that Jamil Vamada?" Owen asked as he closed the door behind him, a frown on his face,

Leica nodded with a sigh "Yeah"

"What was he doing here? He questioned.

Lesnica, on the other hand, wasn't in the least bit interested in answering his question and instead, she turned away.

"why are youwen? Did you forget something?" she asked in a sweet tone, behaving as if she hasn't been the same person who looked almost about ready to murder Jamil

Owen wasn't having it, though. He knew that Leonica was avoiding the subject and the topic.

why was he here, Leonica? Didn't you guys breakup?"

Leonica's brows furrowed and she shot him a look. "We're not talking about this, not now, not ever." She turned her back to him. "Now, why are you here, luce mia?"

When he heard the pet name, we knew it was time to drop the subject, even though he didn't want to.

"I forgot my wallet. He said as he walked over to where he had kept it earlier on, stuffing it in les pocket.

When he turned around, he carefully studied Leonica, surprising her for a second when he suddenly walked closer and wiped the comer of her lips.

*Your lipstick is smudged Without waiting for her answer, he leaned in and pecked her check "let's talk later, yeah?

With that, he turned around and walked out, not missing the heavy sigh that escaped Leonica's lips.

As he walked down the hallway, heading towards the elevator, he saw Jam leaning on the wall, a smirk on his lips and a phone in his hands.

"I knew you looked kinda termiliar. You're that the idol, Owen Lee, Right?"

Owen stopped, his eyes not once leaving famil's, and he gave a single nod of his head, acknowledging him.

"I'm a tan, well, was a fan. You lost me the moment you decided to propose to Leonica"

Jamil's smile widered and he pushed himself off the wall. "You and her are engaged, correct? Or is the media spreading a fake news again?"

"It's true "Owen answered confidently. But you still haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"

"Let's say, I'm a friend. A close one at that."

Owen didn't look amused, in fact, he looked anything but amused and Jamil couldn't help but laugh

"You're a jealous one. Feeling threatened already, aren't you?" He shook his head, and then continued. "You should feel threatened. Especially with me around." "You have no place here Owen stated, his voice calm and low. "So, gut lost." Jamil shrugged. "I'll be going soon. Except this time around, I'll be taking Leonica with me, like I should have done so back in high school."

"If you think for a second that she would just come back to you just because you ask, then I suggest you rethink that." Owen retorted, his patience urming out. "Oh, trust mir, she'll be coming back, just wait I'm not a person who gives up easily, Mr. Lee." He stepped closer, a cocky smirk on his face. "I won. In high school, T was the victor. I got her. But I let her go because situations desanded so Now that I've finally seen her again, I'll make sure she's mine. No one's going to take her away Lrom me, not even you."

Owen snorted at his words. "You let her go because situation demanded so? You were insecure Jamil Vanades. Which you had every right to seeing as she was and will is better than you. And no, you won't be taking her back. Because you have no business being in her life." Stepping forward, he added, "I've dealt with people be you who are always vying for her attention and look where that got me won."
