Chapter 71 A Reason To Live(Jessie's Diary)

• Elena's Pov.:
• So that was how it was for Leo? I asked myself as I read through the diary in his handwriting. As I read through, I realized he and his father weren't even that close. They might claim to live under the same roof but Leo barely lived with him. They had never discussed a man-to-man sort of discussion. They were so distant from each other and that was what was pissing Leo off. It turned out that the only meaningful connection that they had was the mafia business he had taken control of temporarily. Anything aside that just didn't sit well with Leo. In as much as he was tough, he wanted a father as well. But his father wasn't able to give him the kind of love that he wanted even as a son, he was always too hard on him.
• ***To say today is awful was an understatement, my father after all these years finally had the guts to speak to me on the phone. And what had I expected, all he talked about was business, he was obsessed with his business, he could do just anything to save the business. He abandoned his family for his business. He made business his top priority, he brought business first in everything he did, and here he was speaking to me, about business.
