Leonardo was in the office quite early, he was having mild migraine for three days now, but this morning, the migraine was now moderate.
He was going to clear his table and go for a break away from work, people and civilization for a while.
He was trying to finish up all urgent work that needed his attention despite the migraine, so he could leave the office before noon and by night he should be at his destination.
A call came through from his secretary informing him that Sophia wanted to see him.
"That woman has no job, it's so early in the morning." he said to himself after he had told his secretary to let her in.
"I found out where she is, I will give you the address as soon as you sign a cheque as my reward."
"Good morning Sophia, like I mentioned before now, yesterday I said to you that I have no interest in locating where Alisha is, I do not need the address you found. So if you would please leave, I have work to do."
"Even if you don't care about Alisha and you are not bothered that if you don't look for her, another man would win her heart, would you also not be kind and reward me for the effort I put in trying to help you?"
Leonardo rolled his eyes but wrote a cheque so she would stay away from him. She smiled and left the office.
"Keep this for your boss, he will need it's Sophia said to the secretary handing her the address. His secretary innocently took it and kept it carefully.
Leonardo finished the work he had to do a little past noon, he didn't want to procrastinate his trip, he really needed the break.
"I just realized my cabin is in need of some renovation, look up a private cabin available for rent, preferably in Armenia, even if it has been booked offer double the price, then book a first class flight for me, and then get a cab that will drive me down to the location, make sure it's all sorted out." he ordered his secretary and left to pack a bag for his trip.
His secretary tried looking up cabins but she was having a hard time, especially since she was in a rush to meet up with all he asked her to do. The paper Sophia gave her earlier slipped from where she kept it, picking it up, she looked at the address and checked Google map. It was an excellent cabin.
She saw a number to call, unfortunately it had been booked, she offered double the price and she was able to secure the place for two weeks.
She then proceeded to book his flight, and then a cab. She also paid for the cabin to be fully stocked with essentials.
Leonardo was satisfied with how swift his secretary had carried out the task he had instructed her to. He arrived at the airport and boarded the flight to Armenia, and when he arrived, the cab was waiting for him, it was more like a truck, and he did not know why a truck was what his secretary had ordered, but when they got into the woods, he understood why a truck was needed.
The air was different, the wind was chill, and it looked as if it was going to rain heavily anytime soon. Glad he arrived on time, and he would not need to be out until after two weeks, Leonardo entered the cabin after the truck driver had driven off.
He went through the stock in the house, it was enough to feed ten people for a month, he wondered why that was even necessary, he did not need so much supply. He put his things in order, it was a mini cabin and had just one bedroom, it was perfect for him.
He decided to make dinner, then shower afterwards and go to sleep. He was going to give himself all the rest he needed, so he could get rid of the continuous migraine and worries from work.
He switched off his phone and dumped it in one of the cabin. He also found a loaded shot gun and hung it behind the door, just in case of an emergency, maybe an animal attack, after all there was no way a thief will come to an isolated cabin to rob.
Alisha sat in a plane that was flying to Armenia, after the night she had seen Anna kissing Alfonso, she had been unable to concentrate, Anna was not giving any explanation and Alfonso kept saying it was not what she thought, she was not willing to hear any explanation.
He was asking her to marry him, and also having a date with her younger sister, it was unacceptable and unimaginable.
She decided to take a break from everything and have time to think about what she wanted. Her dad had decided to pay a visit after she had spoken to him, the project manager to the new bakery had an emergency and had to take some weeks off, so dad had nothing to supervise and decided to come spend some time with Ina and speak to Anna as well.
Alisha decided that Ina was safe in the arms of her dad and Mary, so she decided to go to her cabin for two weeks. She had put the cabin up for rent, but when she planned her trip, it was not yet taken so she had asked her property manager to take it off rent for a while.
Her flight was delayed and she arrived at Armenia quite late at night. A truck afterwards drove her to the cabin. The truck driver drove off immediately she was out as he wanted to be out of the woods before the rain started pouring heavily.
He was sure he could make it out before the rain got worst. He had driven afar off before she realized that she must have dropped her phone in the truck.
She was hopeful he would get to return it after the rain tomorrow if the road was passable. She got to the cabin door and took out her key. She opened the door, picked up her bag and was about to come in when she heard a voice from inside the cabin.
If you take one more step in, I will blow your head she looked up and didnt see anyone, but she was sure she heard the voice of a man, she moved a step inside again and this time, she felt a pointed to her head.
Fuck, who are you and what are you doing in my cabin. She said in fright.
I rented this cabin, and I plan to be here for two weeks, so back off and go away he said to her and she wandered who was trespassing, didnt she tell her property manager not to rent this place out for a while?
Can I at least come in so we can talk? It is raining out here and I am cold, beside I am a woman and you are obviously a man, I should be the one holding up that gun in fear. She said trying to gather her confidence, she was sure that whoever was there was not going to hurt her, if he wanted to, he would have fired the gun, the moment she took the second step.
He put down the gun and switched the light to the cabin on. Alisha? he called out in surprise.
Leonardo, what the hell are you doing here? she was also drawn in surprise; never would she have imagined seeing him here, definitely not on her property.
I should be asking you the same question he fired at her, the anger they felt towards each other was gradually resurfacing.
Well this is my property, so I have every right to be here, and I remembered asking my property manager to not rent this space out at the moment.
Either you dont have a trust worthy manager, or you are just being typical Alisha, I do not care, but my secretary paid for this cabin, and I intend to enjoy what my money was spent on, so I suggest you leave.
You can get a refund and leave, instead
What is wrong with you, I do not want a refund, I will spend two full weeks here before I leave, so you leave.
I have rights over here because I own this place she fired at him
I have more legal rights because I rented this place and if at all I must leave, you need to give me some sort of notice.
We cant keep arguing here, its raining out there, and as much as I dont trust myself to be safe around you, I would rather be in here than be out there in the rain and in danger to an animal, and I would not want to risk your life too even if I dont give a fuck about you, so you can stay for tonight, just for tonight, tomorrow morning, I want you to leave. She did care about him because he was Inas father and she did not want Inas father to be eaten by an animal or to be killed by cold, she would not be able to take it especially if it was her fault.
You would be the one leaving tomorrow, and beside what do you mean about not being safe around me? I have never hurt you or even laid a finger on you.
Dont you dare pretend, I remember that night clearly as if it was yesterday.
What night are you talking about? Are you suffering from amnesia or something?
It must be you suffering from Amnesia if you claim you dont remember what you did to me.
What are you talking about Alisha? he asked in confusion and was coming close to her
Dont you dare come near me, stay away from me, you can take the loft, I will be using the bed, good night she said and went into the room with her bag.
A while later Leonardo heard the sound of her taking her bath. As he finished cooking his dinner, he thought about what she had said, what could she possibly mean by him hurting her?
He sat down to eat when he thought of Alisha and the fact that she might be hungry, he did not cook much but they could both share the meal.
The cabin room had no door, as he stood he watched her naked body, she was wearing about to wear pants and sweat shirt for the night, she must be cold he thought to himself.
As he watched her naked frame, he remembered when they had kissed at different times, and how she always gave him a boner. The thought of it gave him a tingling feeling in his loin, and he quickly pushed it off, by tomorrow she would be gone and he can have his peace and quiet.
She finished wearing her cloths and turned and then their eyes met.
What do you want? I said you should take the loft, stay away from me.
Hey calm down, I was going to ask you if you would like to have dinner, I cooked.
Im not hungry she lied and her stomach growled
He gave her a smile, a smile that said you have been caught in the act she rolled her eyes at him and lay on the bed he had prepared for himself and covering herself with the clean duvet he had laid out.
He entered the room and she jumped in fright. Why is she so scared of me? he asked himself
I said stay away from me she said in a sharp voice but he could see that she was scared of him.
