CHAPTER TWO
Bruce looked at Leah shocked with a what are you doing here expression. Everyone's gaze turned to Leah who stood in the middle of the red carpet leading to the couples.
"Congratulations on you trying to get married. Wow." Leah clapped her hands and Nora looked furious but didn't say a word.
"What do you want here you prisoner?" Nora yelled at her and Leah scoffed.
"In case you don't know and I need to remind you, Nora. Bruce is still officially my boyfriend and since you two are getting married after putting me in jail for no reason at all, I might as well ruin the wedding." A frown settled on Leah's lips and everyone in the crowd gasped.
"You assaulted me and don't think you'll go without being punished. That's a crime." Nora spat out.
"I didn't assault you. I only slapped you because you were flirting with my boyfriend… oh sorry, ex-boyfriend." Leah rolled her eyes.
"Are you crazy woman?" Nora's father, Robert yelled at Leah who stared at him blankly before looking back at Nora and Bruce.
"I'll make you pay for this," Leah said as she walked towards them.
"Guards," Roberts yelled, and men in black suddenly surrounded Leah. She stopped in her tracks and looked at all of them before looking past them to the couples.
"Do you think I would wait for you, Leah? That will be an absolute waste of time and you'll depend on me mostly to build back your company which already crashed because you the owner is a criminal." Bruce said and Leah scoffed as she turned to look at Mia who looked scared where she stood.
"Mia, tell your friend to honorably step out of my wedding or she'll end up back to where she came from, and this time, it's going to be worse than before."
Bruce's threats did nothing to Leah but Mia laughed nervously. "Please Leah, let's just go. Just break up with him and let him go… I mean let's go."
Leah didn't even budge. "Men, get her out of here." Roberts thundered and as the men made an attempt to move closer to Leah, he grabbed the first one near her and kneed his jaw hard, sending him to fly to the other man behind him.
Leah swiftly and skilfully beat the men up and all those who knew her before looked shocked. Back then Leah was soft gentle and couldn't even hurt a fly. She was easy to cheat and almost everyone got away with it.
Only Bruce and Mia stood by her and and never cheated her but now he was. He was betraying her in the worst way, by marrying another woman despite everything they've shared together.
She remembered that night five years back when they decided to celebrate a contract he got in Silver Lining club.
As she was getting them some drinks, she saw Nora sit on Bruce's lap, touching him and trying to kiss him. She seemed to be forcing herself against him.
Leah turned red in anger as she stepped towards them. She slammed the glass on the table and coughed.
"Excuse me…"
"Go away you cheap slut. Can't you see I'm having a good time with my man?" Nora glared at her angrily. "You're not even that beautiful to come over to interrupt me and try to take my man away."
Nora rubbed herself against him and Leah glared down at both of them. Bruce laughed nervously and didn't say anything.
Leah grabbed Nora's wrist and yanked her away. "How dare you, you ugly prostitute?" Nora tried to slap her but Leah caught her hand in time.
Instead of slapping Leah, Leah slapped Nora and she fell backwards and started wailing. The authorities came rushing in to examine her and after seeing some bruises she obviously already had, they called the police and with her father pulling some strings, she got arrested and put into jail for five years.
Leah stood before the men and looked at them all rolling on the floor for their dear lives. Leah looked proud of what she did and they all looked shocked.
Leah didn't even care that they were live. All she wanted to do was get to that Bruce and beat the hell out of him.
Bruce was too shocked to even listen to Nora. It really is true that prison changes a man.
"Do you know the penalty of what you just did Leah? You surely are going back to the jail you just returned from few minutes ago." Nora threatened.
"Those are The Tigers men if you don't know. The mafia boss isn't one to spare anyone. If you know what's best for you, you'll fall on your knees and start begging." Roberts threatened but Leah just looked at him before taking a champagne flute from the waitress and she sat down majestically before sipping from her glass.
"Call them over," Leah said which shocked them even more. "I can single handedly beat them all up and beat you too if you cross my path."
"Leah?! Are you crazy?" Mia half screamed.
Everyone was curious to see her reaction if The Tigers actually came. Since the Red phoenix went down, they've been the ruling mafia family and no one dares to face them or disobey them, now she was there telling them to send for her death.
Leah stood up and took a bottle of champagne and she examined it well before aiming at Nora and Bruce. The duo looked shocked to their bones as the bottle shattered at their feet.
"Who do you think you are?" Nora screamed as she made an attempt to go down to hit Leah but Bruce pulled her back.
"There's no need to waste your energy on her, Nora. It'll be a waste of time and energy." Bruce convinced Nora who was still fuming when sounds of power bikes and sport cars drove to the hotel.
Everyone could see from the large TV screen from the media outside the house. Mia gulped nervously while Leah just stood there looking at the entrance.
"You asked for it Leah, and here they are." Nora laughed wickedly.
Men in black started rushing inside and everyone looked terrified as they looked at them as they walked into the venue.
The boss soon stepped in and everyone admired the way Leah still had her head up despite knowing her demise was very near.
Zayn, the don of The Tigers mafia family pulled off his dark shades and stared straight at Leah who had her arms crossed before her chest.
"Oh my goodness, this wedding is about to be bloody."
"She should just apologize, maybe she would be spared."
Zayn looked at Leah with a raised brow. She didn't look scared or anything as he stepped closer, he examined her from head to toe till his gaze fell on her right middle finger.
He looked like he just saw a ghost but what he saw was the deadliest between the two.
"Don." Zayn bowed and everyone in the room looked shocked as they turned to Leah. "Please pardon my men. They didn't recognize you. I'm really sorry. You know I won't want to cross Red Phoenix."
Everyone looked shocked. "Red phoenix?"
