Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 144

Drug addict aka Leo?

What was he talking about?

I looked around to confirm that I was outside the stadium, not at the rehab center. There wasn't a chance in frozen hell that Leo could come to this crowded place alone.

Well, all my assumptions were instantly proved wrong by the next message from Bright. My eyes grew impossibly wide as the picture of Leo with my kids appeared on my phone's screen.

For a heart-stopping moment, my world paused as I carefully observed that picture for more details. The location of the hallway near my kids' beloved vending machine blew my head away.

It could only mean that Leo had used his connections to wander inside the building.

The nerve of that liar!

Leo not only broke his vows, but he ignored the basic guidelines for addicts, going against the doctor's words. I was balling my fists to punch him soon when someone tapped on my shoulder, making me jump.

"Hey, Laura!

Why are your cheeks so red?"

My brother, Henry, came to watch the match with us, he was a bit late because of his office work. He noticed my flaring anxiety and joked, lightening the mood.

"Look at my little murderous Laura. All set to tear her enemy apart!"

He cheered me up with his funny jokes like our childhood, so I showed him the proof of Leo's recent interference.

"Leo is troubling me again, brother. He is …"

Henry raised his brow, grabbing my hand in response.

"Let's go and confront that jerk, Laura. He needs a proper doze for his treatment."

…

Although we were pretty vexed while barging into the drinks' area, the scene before us zipped our lips. Two equally angry and dangerous-looking men were in neck-to-neck competition of deadly staring.

Unlike his usual self, Bright was fiercely glaring at Leo, who wasn't in the mood to back off as well.

"What if I am sick, Bright? It doesn't seize my rights to visit my kids!"

Leo chewed his every word before throwing a dirty glare at Bright and caressed Jane's head.

"My little angel is upset. It's her big day today.

And Zoe! He has social anxiety. Then how can I stay put despite knowing these obvious facts about my kids."

My kids! My kids! My kids!

How many sessions did you miss? Are you even taking your medicines?

Is this a joke for you?"

Clenching and unclenching fists, Bright barely restrained himself from lashing out in front of kids. The loud voices and fights could scare their innocent minds for good. So, he bombarded Leo with queries about his health, sounding like a concerned friend.

After hearing about his dad's failing health, Zoe took the initiative and reprimanded Leo.

"Why don't you take medicines like daddy says?

In this way, you will not recover completely."

The kids were partially aware of Leo's illness. We had informed them about his hospital stay, but concealed the drugs' addiction, changing it with heart disease.

So, Zoe's advice was perfectly in accordance with the information given; however, it enraged Leo.

"I know what's good and bad for me, Zoe. Don't interfere in elder's conversation."

He totally ignored our son and explained to me.

"Trust me, Laura. I mean no harm. Today is the biggest day for the kids' career, please let me be a part of it.

I don't wish to miss …"
