Leo POV
“It’s not what you think it is, Uncle Jerry. I can explain.” I have never been so nervous in my life. Yes, Alya made me nervous, too, for different reasons. But this was the ultimate panic moment. What else could top facing the King when you stepped out of his daughter’s bedroom shirtless? I could lose my life at any moment.

“I’ve heard enough, Leo. Where’s Alya?” Uncle Jerry’s voice was on edge.
“She’s asleep, Uncle.” I could not help but avert my eyes and looked out at the hallway.
Damn!
Aunt Nathalia had just gone out of the eleva
