Early next morning, Lydia sent Emilia to the kindergarten as usual while Leo began his usual exercise routine.
Leo was still in the middle of doing one-armed pushups when he was interrupted by Marie's boisterous voice.
"Holy shit! Shit! This is some crazy news!"
Marie charged out of her bedroom like a whirlwind and hurried towards Leo.
When Leo got up from the floor, a phone was thrusted in his face. "Check this out!"
Leo took the phone and read the title of the news article Marie had wanted to show him: "Breaking News! The son of Julton Pharmaceutical's Chairman is a closeted submissive!"
Scrolling down, Leo saw the same video Cheryl had recorded back at the suite. The video was five minutes long, and it showed a man being tied up and whipped repeatedly by a woman.
The unsavory bits of the video were blurred out, but the face of the man in the video was exposed. It belonged to Cedric Reyes, the son of Thomas Reyes.
Leo returned the phone to Marie and dropped to the floor to continue doing pushups.
"What?" Marie stared at Leo in shock. "Nothing? You've got nothing to say about the fact that Cedric is into bondage and kinky sex?"
"I've already seen it earlier," Leo said. "It's all over the press now."
Marie's jaw clicked shut. "Wait a minute..." Her eyes narrowed into slits. "This isn't your doing is it, Leo?"
Leo leaped to his feet, then shrugged. "Who knows?"
The more cryptic Leo was, the more Marie suspected that Leo was behind this. "Come on, Leo," Marie whined as she followed Leo around like a lost puppy. "Just tell me... Please? Was it you? Did you leak the video?"
Leo's phone rang before he could speak. The call was made from an unknown number.
Leo answered the call. "Who is this?"
"Are you Leo Cohen?"
The husky voice belonged to a woman.
"Yes. And you are?"
"I'm Teresa Collins, the legal representative of Julton Pharmaceutical."
