"When are you coming back to the mansion?," Leo says sitting on the couch. His eyes still glued to mine.

"Why does it matter? Anytime now I'll be going into labor. Like you said before, after I birth our son you're going to kill me," I immensely say still trying to process into my brain that my days on this earth are literally being counted. Leo stays silent averting his focus elsewhere.

"If you didn't steal and betray me. We wouldn't be in this predicament now would we?," he sarcastically responds his gaze on me again.

"I only stole from you to be able to provide for our son and myself until I got a job, which I'm sure I'm fired from again all thanks to you," I mutter.

"You know damn well you didn't like both of those shitty jobs you had," Leo rolls his eyes.

"Not everyone has it made like you. Some of us are born poor left alone in the world to strive. So even if we hate the job. We still need money to support ourselves or els-'

"You had it made with me. I gave you everything and you-"

"You want your child to live this dangerous life full of violence, blood, crime, drugs, and criminals," I hiss letting the truth be known.

"He's my heir."

"I won't allow him to live this life. He's innocent don't curse him with your last name," I grumble.

"Curse? Well news flash Madison, Castillo blood runs through his veins whether you like it or not," Leo abruptly stands up from the couch clenching his fists angrily glaring at me. I'm suddenly lost of words. My mind goes blank not knowing how to reply to his comment that is one hundred percent true no matter how much I want to pretend it's false.

This baby I'm carrying is Leo Castillo's offspring, which legitimately makes him a Castillo. I turn away from Leo, feeling my eyeballs water from the anger I'm currently feeling. I want to throw dishes against the wall right now, but can't because Luna would totally kill me if I ruin her dishes.

"That's why I left. I'm against your lifestyle just everything you stand for Leo. He's my baby too and all I have in this world. He's my everything. I don't want him to be the next you. I want a normal, safe, and healthy life for my son," I breathe. One tear manages to slide down my cheek, which I wipe away quickly. Next thing I knew, Leo was right behind me. His warm muscular chest casually and lightly leaning on my back. His hands on my shoulder gently massaging me.

"This stress must be bad for the baby. I'm fucking up, I'm sorry," Leo murmurs near my ear.

"Don't brush away what I just said Leo. This is why. You wanted to know why I left well now you know," I firmly respond brushing his hands away from me as I turn around facing him. Leo's angry expression from a few minutes ago is now faded into a regretful one as he stares down at me with pained eyes. Something within his chocolate brown eyes is flickering, which I really can't put my finger on.

"You're here to talk, so let's talk," I murmur standing up from the chair now being somewhat at the same level as his. Leo is so much taller than I, but you get the point.

"Deep inside I knew why you left. I-I just couldn't accept it I guess. Don't I have the right to be happy? Why can others be with who they love, but not me? I know I've done horrendous things in my lifetime. Some call me a monster like yourself before, but don't I deserve to have happiness in my dark world?," Leo says turning away from me clenching his fists on his sides.

My heart breaks in half feeling sadness for him. The thought of me calling him a monster or just thinking such a way of him makes me feel suddenly guilty. Leo Castillo is much more than that. However, one thing keeps replaying the most in my mind that has my broken heart thumping rapidly. "Love?"

"Yes Madison love," Leo turns around facing me. His chocolate brown brimming eyes fixated on me. I immediately cup his cheek into my hand, which he hugs with his. The both of us staring intently into one another.

"Do you still love me?," I breathe.

"I-"

"Boss, we need to leave now. Santana is attacking the mansion!," Rios bursts through the door shouting. A gun in his grip. Both Leo and I turn around as soon as this occurs. Leo walks towards Rios grabbing the gun from him.

"He's what?," I crease my brows. The Santana I know wouldn't do such a thing, but then again he did lie to me about being a business man like Leo once did. I don't know why on earth I fell for the same lie twice. Is this a thing mafia leaders use to disguise their real professions?

"I'm ready to kill that motherfucker," Luna grits her teeth bursting through the door and into the living room lifting the cushions up off the couch revealing a whole collection of deadly weapons. My eyes widen not expecting this at all. For these past two days of staying here. I've been sitting on that exact spot not having a clue of what was underneath the cushion.

"You're staying here to watch over Madison," Leo firmly instructs.

"But-"

"No buts obey your boss," Leo blankly says giving her a death glare. Luna nods pushing down the cushion on the couch standing up. I watch as Leo and Rios step out of the door fearing for their safety.

"Leo!," I hastily shout. Leo ignores me rushing out with Rios leaving me behind. Worry takes over me immediately as I drop to my knees closing my eyes shut while placing my hands together beginning to pray for Leo. I feel Luna kneel next to me, which causes me to open one eye seeing she's doing the exact same thing as me, which forms a smile on my face. Shutting my eyes shut again. I proceed with my prayer my mother taught me as a child.

No matter how much bullshit Leo has put me through. He also managed to make me the happiest woman alive. It would destroy me if something bad were to happen to him. And that's when I realized in this exact moment that I'm still madly and utterly in love with Leo Castillo.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Due to plagiarism and extreme detailed sex scenes mostly the plagiarism issues, I have set chapters 7, 20, 28, 30, 40, 47, 50, and 60 to private meaning if you aren't following me you won't have access to read them. No worries though, all you have to do is follow me on here and re-add the book and you'll immediately get access to these private chapters.

Here's how to do it in order to unlock all private chapters to this book.

For those who already added my book and follow me, yet the private chapters weren't unlocked. Follow these steps:

1) unfollow me
2) Remove book from your private library.
3) Hit the refresh button.
4) Follow me
5) Add book into your private library.
6) Go to your private library & hit the refresh button.

Now for those that don't follow me, but added my book into their library. Follow these steps:

1) Remove book from your private library.
2) Hit the refresh button.
3) Follow me
4) Add book into your private library.
5) Go to your private library & hit the refresh button.

Doing these two methods will unlock all private chapters to this book. I tried it myself "twice" and it worked for me. I hope this helps. ❤️

I hope you all can understand why I had to do this change. As much as I hated it, I had no other choice due to a lot of readers notifying me about other users plagiarizing my story, I've worked so hard on. For others to copy my work and have the 'nerve' to claim it as their own really pisses me off. Unfortunately, Wattpad has no option to block users, so there's nothing much I can do besides this in order to protect my work. Hopefully in the future Wattpad gives us the option to block users, but for now this is what it resulted to. Sorry guys, I hope you all can understand. 😪

This story isn't completed yet obviously, so as I update future chapters I will still be setting a few of them into private, so it's important for you to be following my profile, so there isn't no missed chapters for you guys. However, I will be notifying you all which chapters I set into private as the story goes on until it's complete.

THANK YOU!
