Mr. Leonardo's Contracted Bride

Soon to be Bride

"Is she dead?". A voice said kicking Diana's unconscious body to clarify.

"I don't think so. She looks too pretty to just die mysteriously". Another said kicking her from the other side.

"She looks familiar tho". Another said and the others scoffed.

"You're always on your phone so I expect you to know even the facial features of God himself!". A feminine voice snapped glaring at Diana's body on the ground outside of the penthouse.

"But what's she doing here though? Do you think the boss invited her over?". Another asked and the rest broke into laughter.

"He invited her? That's impossible, she looks too vile for our boss". Another said.

"Yes! I finally remember! She's DD. Gosh! What's she doing here!?". The one had spoken about her being familiar and the other's eyes widened.

"Are you sure of what you're saying?! DD, in this…remote area? What for?

"Is that what you were all instructed to do?!". Natty the head maid yelled from the maid's quarters walking towards the maids who immediately became quiet.

"Natty, Diego thinks, this lady lying unconscious with an expensive gown is DD". Claire, a young maid known for gossiping, said and Natty frowned.

"DD? What's DD? Is that the name of a food?". Natty asked and Claire just rolled.

"Diego and Mark, throw her body out in the trash can like you've been instructed to do and the rest of you, go and finish your kitchen duties. It's about to rain and you know, we're supposed to be done before then". Natty instructed and the maids did as they were told, leaving.

But right when the guys were about to carry Diana she sprained up slapping Mark right on the face.

"And who told you to touch me?!!" Diana snapped as everyone stared at her in shock.

She then looked around her seeing that she was on the floor she stood up immediately with widened eyes.

"Do you all know how much I got this dress?!! And…how come I was laying outside?! Where is the thief who cheated me for five good years!!!". Diana asked walking closer to Mark Threateningly and he shifted back in fear, then Natty came in between them.

"We don't condone any form of nuisance over here, young lady so please….

"To hell with your damn accent!! I'm now sure your boss is a lowlife hiring an old country lady like you!! You're all gonna pay dearly for treating me like trash!! You're gonna refund the money I used to purchase this dress you ingrates ruined!!". Diana yelled and in rage Natty slapped her hard across the face, making the guys gasp out in shock.

"You're a lady for crying out loud, have some manners for a lady old enough to birth you twice…

Natty couldn't finish when Diana returned the slap in double fold.

"So what if I'm a lady? And how dare an old maid like yourself waen me on my manners?!! And not to mention you said old enough to birth me?!! Like seriously don't you think you're not even up to the standard of my dog!!!". Diana snapped loudly and Natty only shook head at her.

"Claire!!!". A stern voice called from the entrance.

The main door to the mansion was opened so he was between in and out, but his gaze glared madly at Diana who just scoffed at seeing him.

"You finally decided to show your ugly face! Wow!! To think I lost three huge awards to someone who's as rotten as his house helps!!!". Diana spat in annoyance.

"Where the heck is Claire!!!". Leonardo let out in rage and immediately Claire ran out of the kitchen rushing towards him.

He grabbed Claire by the hand, taking her to stand face-to-face with DD.

"How old are you Claire?". Leonardo asked in a mutter as he tried subsiding his anger.

"I'm…19". Claire stuttered fearfully as she faced Diana not wanting to turn back and meet the full gaze of her angry boss.

She was literally standing right in the middle of her boss and the worst lady in New York, DD who only rolled eyes at her, and hissed at her from time to time.

"You're 19". Leonardo repeated.

"Ye….es". Claire stuttered.

"And how do you think she is?". Leonardo asked, his angry gaze not leaving DD's who just broke into laughter.

"Shut her up with a slap Claire". Leonardo ordered and without thinking twice Claire slapped Diana hard across the face, it was obvious her laughter only angered Leonardo.

"How dare you!!!". Diana yelled, slapping Claire and she faced Leonardo hurtfully.

"Do I have to tell you to defend yourself!!!" Leonardo snapped and Claire instantly faced DD, slapping her twice across the same cheek and she fell to the ground instantly.

"You just ordered your damn maid to slap me?!! DD?!! I'm Diana Donald!!!! No one has ever done that to me!!!". Diana yelled on the floor, and Leonardo glanced at Claire to do the talking in his place.

"If you're old enough to slap an elderly lady!! Then it's only best if you get slapped by someone you're older than also!!!". Claire retorted and Diana broke into laughter.

"Like…Oh my goodness!! I've condoned enough!!!". Diana yelled getting to her feet as she brought out her phone dialing the cop's line.

"Both of you!! Old lady!!! And the ugly guru who's too big to speak or even receive awards for himself!! Are going to jail!!! All of you!!! While I go back to my house with my awards!!!" Diana snapped and before she could click on call, the police siren began sounding and the gateman opened the gate, the police car drove in, and four policemen alighted the car.

"You shouldn't stress yourself by becoming a commissioner. It's a work just one of your men can handle". Leonardo said as the commissioner walked towards him shaking hands with him.

"Why won't I come? You told me someone broke into your penthouse that has been quiet for years. I would have brought my entire team if their shift wasn't over yet". The commissioner said facing Diana who walked fast towards him.

"Thank goodness. You're here Thomas. Arrest this man right this instant!! As if rigging the award show wasn't enough!! This ugly!!!...

"Call me ugly one more time and I will make you regret it!!". Leonardo threatened coldly and Diana broke into a surprised laughter.

"Wow!! You talked to me finally!! I'm I that provocative?! Awesome!! Well too bad I won't lie, you're as ugly as hell! Now I understand why you can't show your face to the outside world and prefer hiding in this remote area!!! It's because you're as ugly as the devil himself!!! Too bad for any lady who will get married to you!! I didn't want to say anything, but seriously I really pity her poor soul right now, it's better that she dies than get hooked up with a beast like your ugly self!!". Diana taunted, stressing the word ugly, and in rage grabbed her by the arm pulling her to himself and she hit his chest roughly.

"Too bad you're the only one who finds me ugly. Do you know what that means? It means you're the lady meant for me". Leonardo whispered into Diana's ear and her eyes widened.

"What do you mean by that!! You think…There's nothing that's ever going to make me end up with you!!!". Diana snapped and the cops exchanged glances with themselves wondering what Leonardo told Diana that made her say what she said.

"You want me to prove it? You literally see my heart and call me ugly but not my face. Everyone else sees only my face and can't even look beyond my chest, not to speak of viewing my heart. So now tell me why I shouldn't marry you…

"Thomas!!! Take this madman away!!! He keeps saying gibberish!! His face, his heart!! I think staying indoors has made him go crazy!!!". Diana screamed out, pulling out of Leonardo's grip and rushing to the commissioner who ordered his men to handcuff her and her eyes widened.

"What…what the hell do you think you're doing?!!". Diana snapped at the policemen.

"So sorry DD. If I was told I would be called upon to put you behind bars for house break then I would blatantly refuse. But right now, we're just following the law". The commissioner said as his men began taking her away while Natty only sighed staring at her.

Claire only smirked before facing Leonardo whose eyes were fixed on her.

"You'll all pay!!! Including you Thomas!! I'm calling the senator and shutting down your police base!! You will beg me just wait!!!". Diana threatened as she was forced into the police car.

"I would suggest you don't encounter DD again. Leonardo, unless you want your quiet life to turn into a normal thing for the media and the press. There's a reason why the aristocrats tagged her the worst lady in New York". The commissioner said before patting Leonardo's back and walking into his car before driving out of the penthouse.

"Not my future wife though. She's got to change". Leonardo muttered before walking and Natty also went in.

Claire, who heard what he said, only frowned.

'Did he whisper marrying her into her ear?'. Claire thought, troubled, and then the long-awaited rain fell and all the lights in the penthouse went off.
