Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 160

After spending most of my life in Lakon city, I was aware of almost every street. More precisely, I knew every route to white mansion due to my previous marriage. When Leo asked me to come with him, I thought we were heading towards his place, but it turned out that he took me somewhere else.

I demanded an explanation for this confusion, questioning Leo. He responded to me with a smile,

"It's a surprise for us, Laura. I am sure you will love it."

Whatever!

As long as there was any surprise including my kids, I was okay with it. So, I stayed put until we reached a commercial building in the heart of the city, mostly used for grand functions. I wanted to ask why we came here, but following Leo silently towards our destination was the best course of action to avoid his unnecessary nagging. I wasn't in the mood for a conversation now.

My eyes darted from one corner to another, searching for Jane and Zoe as I entered the luxurious building, its lavish ambiance was suitable for high-end entertainment functions like movie premiers and pressers.

As we walked inside, a manager in a suit welcomed us, speaking respectfully.

"Please this way, honorable guests. We have prepared everything."

He opened the tall wooden door for us, acting like Leo's personal servant and said,

"Sir, this is uncut, director's version of the movie, The Notebook, in high-definition quality. You will like our ..."

A romantic movie to watch with kids?

"We are at a private screening of a movie, in fact, your favorite movie. Aren't you a fan of Noah and Allie's love story?

Remember, this is the same movie we watched on our first date. You cried while watching the ending, Laura."

Leo's dreamy voice sprinted a wave of cold from my head to toe, reminding me of our dating period when I was foolishly in love with this jerk. I hadn't watched this movie after stepping out of my abusive marriage for peace, reliving those moments were soul crushing for me.

As he didn't give me a clear reply about my kids after my query, I finally understood his true intentions. Leo was up to no good like every time. My jaw tensed as my voice pierced through the air, every word dripping with fury and seething contempt. The feeling of being played twitched my muscles with the urge of lash out as I confronted my trash ex,

"How dare you lie to me, Leo?"
