The Shackles of Love Papa Lift Me
Chapter 69. Leon's free

...🍁🍁🍁...

After returning from the police station, Aileen immediately contacted Ericko. He had resolved to help Leon, he could not bear to see the man who had become everything in his life, the man he loved so much, hurt and destroyed.

Rather than seeing him destroyed, it was better for him to be destroyed and injured. Leon has sacrificed a lot of things in his life, for his sake. Time, family relationships, money, to give her affection.

"For my sake.The relationship between Papa and Aunt Agatha became damaged, to take care of me papa to spend a lot of time. Papa has raised me so well, papa loves me this spoiled, papa gives me so much affection. Now it's my turn to pay it all back. Papa don't be mad at me, don't hate me for the decision I made" Aileen said, wiping her tears as she continued to wet her cheeks.

Maybe this is indeed God's way to mature himself and not always take refuge let alone depend on Leon. Aileen thought in her heart.

Aileen drove her car to the Arlando mansion, with bodyguards following her. But when he arrived in front of the Arlando residence, Aileen spoke to Frans and his two men.

"I ask you not to report my arrival here, to Bram or my father. I beg you very much!" Aileen was not looking as sedentary as usual, she pleaded seriously to Frans and his two men. Even he did both hands, as a form of seriousness pleaded.

Frans and his two men looked worried, they were silent for a moment. Not having the heart to see Aileen pleading like this, but what was their power. They were just bodyguards ordered by Leon and Bram to guard Aileen.

"Miss-"

"I know you'll argue, but again I'm stressing on you. Your job is to keep me from interfering or reporting on my activities. Understood?" Aileen looked at the three men rhetorically.

From a distance, Ericko and Toni see Aileen and the girl's movements. Toni said that the firm side in Ericko's only grandson was starting to rise.

"Sir, have you seen miss? This is the first time I've seen a lady so stern and sharp. I thought she was just a spoiled girl under the care of Mr. Leonardo Xavier." Toni was amazed at the change and Aileen's resolute attitude.

"Toni, don't forget that he inherited my genes. Blood is thicker than water, do you know that?" Ericko smiled proudly at the sight of her grandson.

Shortly thereafter, Aileen enters the mansion after having Frans and his men promise not to report this to Bram or Leon.

Ericko greeted her grandson kindly and Aileen was not alone at the time. He was with Luna who had just returned home.

"Hello dad."

"Luna, in!" ericko said indifferently to Luna.

Luna glanced at Aileen then smiled cynically, she approached then whispered to the girl. "I'm more fortunate that I wasn't involved with the old man. But I feel sorry for you, because soon you're gonna lose your life. You better leave before it's too late, Aileen." Luna advised Aileen. He did not like Aileen, but he could not bear if the girl was trapped in the snare of Ericko who was vile and cruel. Yes, maybe this is what blood ties are called.

"It's too late to back off, Auntie."

"Haaahh.alright, I can't hold you back either" Luna said, sighing softly. Then he waltzed away from there, not expecting that Aileen would sacrifice so much for Leon.

Should I tell Leon about this? Ah no need! None of my business!

Luna went to her room.

Ericko and Aileen are in Ericko's study. The two of them sat facing each other and Aileen's goal was to strike a deal with Ericko.

"I'll accept all your offers, but I want everything back to the way it was. My papa company, my papa state and another one. I asked for 3 days to stay at Xavier's residence."

"What?" Ericko frowned in surprise.

"So calm, I will never lie and I will keep my word. As long as you keep your promise."

"definitely. I'll release your papa right now, company matters can be cleared up." Ericko smiled satisfied to see Aileen finally lost and willing to obey him.

There Aileen signs an agreement with Ericko stating that Aileen will leave the Xavier family and join Ericko to Italy.

Aileen's tears shed after signing the letter, but her heart was relieved that Ericko had immediately made her request to release Leon.

"Good, sir."

"And one more thing.Call me grandfather" Ericko told his granddaughter.

"I can't, my heart won't allow it" Aileen said coldly.

Ericko clucked to hear Aileen speaking coldly to him, inwardly saying that Aileen was as stubborn as her papa. And he said that later he would make Aileen helpless under his feet. He will make Aileen a tool and a weapon.

****

The girl came out of the Arlando mansion with a shaky step. Whether this decision Aileen took was really the best one to leave Leon. "Lord..this is the right decision, right?" the girl muttered slowly.

Shortly afterwards, when Aileen drives, she gets a call from Bram saying that Leon is free because all the evidence is fake.

Aileen was astonished because Leon's release was not due to the retraction of the charges. This was where Aileen realized that her grandfather was not someone to be underestimated. A single word from Ericko could make a person crumble and rise. Leon's power was not comparable to his.

****

A few minutes later, Aileen and Frans' car arrived at Xavier's residence. Hurriedly the girl entered her house, she saw Agatha, Bram, Lusi and the figure she longed for her presence.

Hold Aileen, do not cry.don't. You should be happy that long.

"Aileen!" call Leon excited when he sees Aileen's whereabouts there. Leon looked at Aileen with sadness and longing.

Agatha, meanwhile, disliked Aileen's presence there. His face was bent earlier. He hates Aileen.

Aileen ran and hugged Leon, holding back her tears and trying to look okay. "Father.I miss papa..."

"Papa is also baby, papa Miss you so much." Leon hugged the adopted daughter and her lover.

After that Leon and everyone looked happy because things had returned to how they were. Leon was going to sue Ericko because he had thrown him in prison, but he did not want to deal with the man anymore which is important Aileen is fine with him. And during that time he would rebuild his strength to protect Aileen.

Leon looks messy, his beard and hair shaggy. Aileen helped Leon to shave the feathers affectionately. Leon looks as handsome as ever.

"Pa..does this hurt?" lirih Aileen while rubbing a soft bruise on her lover's face. He sat on Leon's lap spoiled as usual.

"It's okay, baby, it's all over."

"It must have hurt." said the girl softly with a sad face.

It's all because of me.

"It's okay baby, papa's fine because you're here." Leon hugged the girl, he inhaled the body odor of Aileen that he had always longed for these few days.

"Pa, let's get married!" take Aileen while looking at Leon who is now in front of her.

"When?" leon asked that

"Now pa, let's get married!" take Aileen with a serious look.

I can't wait any longer, I must immediately give papa happiness. Before I go.
