Enough For Him

They raided my jewellery selection, my high-end tech after punishing me for what I had done. But above all, they weren’t here to rape me or sexually abuse me. They had some sort of morals about that.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Just know I love you, Lizzy,” he said facing me.

I sighed, placing my hand over his. “I know George, and I love you,” I said to him thinking of how he saved me. Took my boy to safety and called the police.

I know that most brothers would do that for their sisters but even though, I was thankful.

I waited a few minutes after knocking, suddenly I was doubting coming here. What audacity do I have coming here when we’re not even together.

I turned around the same moment that the door swung open.

“Liz?” I heard his husky voice. From the sound of his voice, I gathered that he had just woke him up from a nap. I knew it too well.

I tucked my hair behind my ear and faced him. I watched his eyes take in all of me. He stalled on Jayson in my arms before they narrowed harshly at my neck.

Knowing him all too well, I placed Jayson down letting him run between Leon’s legs and inside his house.

“Please, just hold me” I whispered looking up at him. I hated how I sounded so weak but there was nothing I wanted more than his arms around me. Even though I was now begging the man that cheated on me, used me and ruined me mentally.

But I didn’t have to ask this man twice.

I instantly was pulled tightly into his embrace, feeling his arms tighten around my body. He brought me inside the house closing the door behind us with the simple push with his fingertips.

“I’ll kill however did this to you” he whispered into my ear, his hand stroking up and down my back.

“don’t you fucking worry, baby”

I had no doubt in my mind.

He cheated on me I know but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still care for me. I’d be stupid to ignore that factor. Because our love ran so deep that it would take a lot more than what we have been through to break us apart.

The police were finally done questioning me about the attack. They wanted to know everything that I could remember. I think we all knew that they knew we had money and my brother flaunting it wasn’t good timing.

But it wasn’t his fault, I guess I had it coming.

Leon walking them out as I sat down with Jayson. He laid his head on my chest and slowly was welcoming sleep with his light snores.

The sound of the door closing and the steps of Leon getting louder made me look up.

“I’ll fix you the guest room,” he said before disappearing again. All I could hear was the sound of him banging cupboards and walking around upstairs.

I slowly made my way upstairs, taking Jayson to his room. His room which hasn’t changed a bit ever since I left. The only thing that was different was the different pictures of me on Jayson’s bedside table.

I noticed that there was a new one, a picture I had taken with Jayson and posted online, I think it was one of my favourites.

Jayson opened his eyes when I placed him on the chair. “time to get ready for bed little guy” Leon said walking into the room with a change of clothes for Jayson.

“go shower, I’ll do it,” Leon said not even looking at me. Jayson could only smile up at his dad, so I knew I didn’t have to worry.

My brother had dropped off a change of clothes and some random stuff that I would need. I was impressed that he remembered to bring all my skincare stuff. I just knew that it would all burn when touching my cuts.

I walked into the shower room with my change of clothes. When the hot water hit my body, I instantly flinched as it washed over my bruises and cuts I has to turn it down.

I still had shampoo in here that I could use, I’m surprised he kept it. In terms of body wash however all there was left was lynx body shower that he would always use.

I didn’t mind using it. As soon as the manly aroma hit my nose I was hit with memories of Leon. The smell of Leon after he would shower with his hair still wet and his dark hair still wet from the shower.

He was always the most handsome when he just finished the shower.

The smell of him as he walked past me in the school hallway after showering before his next class.

Even the smell of Leon as he embraced my body lovingly. His soft hands running all over my body.

This is wrong. He cheated on me, he ruined our family and yet here I am thinking of him as I stand naked in his shower using his stuff.

I moved my fingers over the slight bruising on my neck and chest. How am I supposed to breastfeed with ugly scars all over me?

I realised that I was spending way too much time in here, so I quickly finished up and got dressed.

I put on the cropped jumper and shorts that my brother so kindly gave me and walked out. I was too busy towel drying my hair I bumped straight into Leon’s back.

Well done Liz.

“Sorry,” I said quietly before walking around him and going over to Jayson. He looked so peaceful laying down in bed, with his comfy pyjamas.

I walked out of the room and headed downstairs. Not much has changed since I was here.

I made myself busy downstairs when Leon went in for his shower. He didn’t try to push me to talk which was something I really appreciated right now.

I walked around the house, everything seemed to have stayed the same. As I walked further into the lounge I smiled when I saw his blazer and work shoes. Often, I would have to go around cleaning after Leon as he would leave things everywhere.

I picked up his blazer and brought it close to my chest, the strong scent came through and it was like smelling him. I quickly put it down when I realised that I probably looked crazy. Bat shit crazy.

I walked around the kitchen before finally getting tired. Leon hadn’t come down yet, so I decided to just head to the guest room and sleep.

The guest room was somewhere that we set up when we had guests over. I went over to the cupboard and grabbed the pillowcases and started making the bed.

It would be so easy to just sleep in our old room, but I couldn’t, my heart is too weak for that.

I sat in bed with my phone trying to welcome sleep, but I wasn’t even surprised when I just couldn’t close my eyes.

I ended up turning my phone after telling mom I would go see her tomorrow. No doubt my brother filled her in on everything.

I laid on the bed just staring up at the ceiling. That was until I heard a loud bang.

I shot up from my bed and walked out in the hall, firstly I checked Jayson and luckily, he was still sleeping silently. Next, I peeked inside Leon’s room.

I found Leon leant over his vanity, everything had been swiped off the table and all grouped up on the floor.
