My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0653

After seeing Maximus leave the Palmer offices, Leonardo made his way to his secluded mansion–a place that few even knew existed. Confident in his tight security and his men guarding every corner of the estate, Leonardo felt a rare sense of calm.

As he walked leisurely down the long hallways, he headed straight for the room where Serenity was being held. She had been stripped to her underwear, her shoes removed, leaving her vulnerable and desperate. Leonardo knew that fear was the best weapon to control someone, especially women, and he reveled in the power it gave him.

But as he approached her room, he heard shouting coming from the front gardens. Looking out, he spotted at least a dozen men dressed in black storming; the mansion. One of his security guards grabbed him by the arm and urgently pulled him in the opposite direction from Serenity’s room.

“NOR

Bring the girl with me!” Leonardo barked, his eyes flashing with fury.

“Sorry, sir, but your safety comes first. Mr. Frank Levett ordered us to protect you above all else. You’ll have to leave her for now. There’ll be time to recover her later.”

“No! Bring her! That’s a damn order!”

Apologies, sir, but orders are orders,” the guard said firmly.

“You’re all incompetent! This is a complete disaster because of your failures! You’re supposed to protect me and follow my commands!”

“Our priority is your safety, as instructed by Mr. Frank.”

Outside, the mansion was in turmoil. The staff, already shaken from a similar incident months ago, scrambled for cover as Alden and his men infiltrated the estate. Leonardo’s plan to keep Serenity captive had unraveled spectacularly. His obsession with her had grown since he’d seen her again–a fixation he had concealed even from his estranged son, Lucius. With no legitimate heir left to claim, Leonardo was grasping at whatever power he could hold onto.

As Leonardo was ushered out of the mansion, Alden and his team swept through the estate, searching every room. The servants cowered in fear while Alden barked orders.

“Damn it! He escaped! That bastard Leonardo got away! Find my cousins and the Bartz boy!”
