Chapter Seventeen

A month had gone by and it was announced that Leo was to marry again. He was to marry Milla.

"You seem happy for a women getting married for money," Daniel said to Milla.

"I am not marrying Leo for his money, I love him."

"You love him," Daniel said with a laugh.

"Yes Daniel I do. It took me years to realize it but I love your brother with all my heart."

"You are kidding me?"

"Did you want to see me Daniel?"

"No, I just thought I would just come and say hello."

Daniel had returned home. He was angry, angry and jealous of Leo's marriage to Milla, because even Daniel the bastard had found love and it was Milla.

"Brother dear, where are you off too?" Daniel asked Leo.

"Riding, I have not done it in a long time. Matthew is spending the weekend with his grandmother Patricia I thought I would take this time to go riding."

"These will look beautiful in the living room," Piper said has she was picking wild flowers in Meldfield not far from were Glen had found her two years ago. Suddenly Piper heard a gun shot. Next thing she saw was a man fall off his horse, she saw another man with a gun and quickly hid behind the bushes.

"Rest in peace with your beloved," the man with the gun said and then left.

Piper stayed quite behind the bushes until she thought it was safe to come out. She ran to the wounded man who was unconscious. She grabbed his horse and took him home with her.

"Cole! Glen!" Piper yelled as she got home.

Cole came to see Piper with Melinda in his hands "Piper you are home."

"Cole a man was shot near Meldfield."

"Where?"

"I have brought him back on his horse."

"Horse? Since when did you ride horses?" Cole asked.

"I do not know. It just came to me. Maybe it was something I use to do before."

"Here you take Melinda, and I will take this man you brought home upstairs." Piper took one year old Melinda from Cole as he left to get the dying man.

"Did you see who shot him?" Cole asked has Piper entered the room with bandages and lotion.

"No I did not. I hid in the bushes before the man saw me."

"Piper the man in here is the King."

"You mean your friend Leonardo Wyatt."

"Yes."

"Should we inform his family?"

"No Piper. It could have been one of his family who did this. Lets just let who ever did this think he is really dead."

"Well your the boss," Piper said as she cleaned Leo up and changed his clothes.

A Week had gone and Leo hadn't woken up yet. Melinda was walking now and she love running around the house. What caught her attention more was the man lying in the bed who seem to be sleeping forever.

Melinda had made her way to Leo's room, Piper was down in the kitchen cooking dinner. Leo finally woke up from his sleep, he got up to see a little Melinda looking at him from the doorway.

"Hello," Leo said to Melinda.

Melinda walked closer towards Leo. "Melinda," she heard Cole call out her name. Cole walked into the room to find Melinda there.

"Here you are sweetheart," Cole said as he picked Melinda up into his arms, then he notice Leo was up. "Leo."

"Cole? Is that you?" Leo asked.

"Yes it still me," Cole joked. "You all right, you were shoot."

"I remember."

"Do you know who by?" Cole asked.

"No, I do not know." Leo looked at Melinda in his arms. "It has been a long time Cole. I see you have children."

Cole looked at Melinda in his arms "Who Melinda. She not my daughter, she is a friend's daughter. It is dinner time for Princess and her mother asked me to bring her down to her." Leo smiled "Hey listen Leo. Your welcome to stay here."

"Thank you Cole but I think I better get home," Leo said as push the covers off him and sat up.

"What happens if the person who tried to kill you realizes you are not dead and tries again."

"I have a little boy at home. He as lost his mother, I do not want him to think he as lost his father too."

"Cole!" Piper yelled.

"I am in here."

"Melinda sweetheart it is time for dinner." Piper said as she walked in to Cole to get Melinda. Then she notice Leo was up. "I see you are awake." Leo just looked at Piper.

"Leo," Cole said as he notice Leo staring at Piper.

"Piper," the word escaped his lips. "Piper," he said again.

Piper and Cole looked at each other. "Leo do you know this women?" Cole asked.

"Piper is that really you?" Leo asked as he tried to stand up but his wound on the side of his stomach wouldn't let him.

Piper helped Leo sit down, "You have to sit down your wound has not healed yet."

Leo looked up at Piper who was sitting next to him, "Piper you are not dead?" He said as he placed his hand on her cheek to feel if she was real.

"I am sorry but I do not know who you are," Piper told Leo.

"Piper it is me, Leo."

"I know that you are Leonardo Wyatt the King."

"Piper, I am your husband."

Piper looked at Cole who had Melinda in his arms. "Leo are you saying Piper is your wife?" Cole asked.

"Yes Piper and I are married, we have a son, Matthew." Leo looked at Piper, "And then one day you just disappeared."

Cole handed Melinda over to Piper. "Leo, if you are my husband then this is your daughter," Piper said has she handed Melinda over to Leo.

Leo took the child into his arms and looked at Cole and Piper with a confused look.

"My brother Glen found Piper unconscious in the bushes near Meldfield two years ago," Cole explained.

"When I woke up I could not remember who I was or where I was from," Piper said as she looked at Leo. "I then found out I was pregnant with Melinda." Leo looked at the little girl in his arms.

"Hey were is everyone!" Glen yelled and walked into the room. "King Leo you are up."

"Boy do I have news for you Glen," Cole told his brother.

"What news?"

"That for the past couple of years the Queen was living with us."

"You have lost me brother."

"Leo is Melinda's father. Him and Piper are married."
