Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 75

Cool!

He should just pull the trigger to get over it. What was his reason for going live on his official media account and garnering unnecessary attention?

Unlike him, others had plenty of matters to attend to!

The flood of comments under the live stream was a glimpse of public reaction to his stunt, Leo’s suicide had caused a huge uproar on the internet.

I was pleased to see the comments of like-minded people, who were also fed up with his drama.

"We have been watching this video for over two hours, and still no development. Is Mr. Leo insane?"

"I hope he dies soon!"

But as I scrolled down, the netizens hailing him as a hopeless romantic hero set me on fire.

"Mr. Leo is a true lover!

Why isn’t Laura coming?

She is so cruel!"

The police only reached out to me when the suicide performance escalated, disrupting the law and order situation. I had no choice, but to go, and save that lunatic.

The police officers were waiting outside my home when we reached. They only let me put Jane to bed and then drove us to Leo’s office.

The crowd of media, security, and officers breathed out a sigh of relief to see me, the two officers started banging the door at once.

"Mr. Leo, Ma’am Laura is here!

Please open the door."

After a heart stopping moment, the door was slightly opened. An involuntary scream escaped my mouth as a whirlwind of sheer force jerked me inside forcefully ...

Laura’s P.O.V.

"Laura!!!"

That pitiful yelp belonged to Leo, who jumped at me like a lost puppy in a carnival, squishing me into his strong arms.

"Finally, you are here, Laura. I was dying to see you."

This sudden assault numbed my body, I couldn’t move an inch in his iron hold. Only the loud thump of the door followed by Bright’s voice resumed the proper functioning of my brain.

He tried to free me from Leo’s monstrous arm cage.

"Leave her, Leo!

Are you nuts?"

As a strong athlete, Bright countered Leo’s powerful blow as he refused to let me go, his punch glanced at that mad man’s face. Although that retaliation was nothing before Leo’s sportsman stamina, it gave me a moment to react.

Remember our senior years’ Christmas party?

You stayed up all night to make sure that I remained warm …"

"Yeah, that party!

When you got drunk and ruined my Christmas selfishly." My mouth turned sour as I spat out, venting out my resentment.

The sight of Leo so close to me almost made me throw up, so I averted my face to look at Bright. However, my gaze fell on a strange happening.

The live stream!

The cameras were still on, broadcasting our conversation to the entire Lakon city. It didn’t take me a moment to understand Leo’s ploy: He staged his death and called me here in the hope of meeting me and salvaging his public image by mentioning our past love.

A few days in prison, and again, he came up with a plan to use me as a weapon. This attempt had exposed his objectives and how desperate he was to get everything back.

So, first thing first, I glared hard at him, my low voice was laced with threat.

"Put your hands away, or I will hit you so hard in your special PP area that no plastic surgeon in this world will be able to repair the damage."

My simple yet effective threat worked like magic, Leo was horrified by my daring after enduring the first kick. He stepped away and stood at a proper distance, looking at me fearfully.

I stormed towards the cameras and clicked the ‘disconnect’ sign.
