Chapter 17
Leon was stunned as Rosemary tried to deepen the kiss. He kissed her back but suddenly he remembered Gem.
“Rose I can’t” he said.
“Leonel… why?… am back now… look I know you’re angry that I left without telling you… I was afraid you won’t let me go…”
“Rose I can’t hold you back from your dreams… if you had told me than I’d have let you go…”
“Let’s forget that Leonel am back now and that a that matters…”
“Rose we can’t go on”
“Leonel everything I did was for you. I sacrificed my love for you… I traveled to the US to study so that I can support you in your business… a five years course… I e
Finish in two years… I studied day and night… I wanted to be useful to you… I hate it when I sit back and watch you stress yourself because of me… Leonel can’t you see… I did it for you… for us” she cried bitterly. Leon saw her pains but his heart was no longer with her… it’s been taken by Gem his little kitten.
“I have to go” he said
“Is it because of that girl… oh what’s her name again Gem” Leon halt and turn in surprise… how did she know about Gem…”Don’t be surprise Leonel… if she knows you are using her… I wonder if shell stay with you”
Leon was angry his face darkened. Everyone fears this side of him “Say another word about me and Gem and I’ll make sure you live the surface of the earth”
Rose quickly shut her mouth. Leon was a man of his word. He do whatever he says he will do.
Leon walk out of the house and his phone rang without looking at the caller ID he said with his angry and cold voice.
“What!!!” he yelled
“L… Leon…” it was his kitten. He’s angry went down immediately and he smiled.
“Sorry didn’t know it was you” he said and took a deep breath.
“W… were are you?…” my voice was shaking.
“kitten are you okay?”
“Am fine” I said
“No you’re not… what’s happening?”
“I said were are you?” I asked
“Am … am with my family” Leon lied again.
“Leon?”
“Kitten did something happen?” Leon was worried.
“No… no… bye”
“Kit…” the call ended.
Leon called his guards at home.
“Boss!”
“What’s going on???!!!” his cold voice was back.
“Boss…”
“SPEAK!!!” he yelled
“Miss… she… she’s gone… we can’t find her… an hour ago Kelvin came into the house and suddenly disappeared with her!!!” he said.
That means Kelvin used his secret passage at home to lead Gem out of the house… but why would Kelvin do that…
He quickly called Kelvin but he wasn’t picking. He called Gem her line was turned off.
He was so angry and frustrated. Leon turned back towards Rose room only to meet her talking on her phone.
“It works?…, oh I love you sweet cousin… Oh she’s too weak… were is she?, Yeah just dump her on the street as she asked?, good… you told her who Leonel was and she was shock?, oh what about the voice recorder were he said he was just using her? Good good… did she see the kiss video? Oh great…”
“ROSE!!!!” Leon yelled and walk up to her Rose was shocked and she fell on the floor.
“L… L… Leon… my love I… I thought you left… why… when did you re…” she didn’t finish her word as he grab her neck and press it hard.
“You slut… just die…” Rose struggle for breath. She was fading.
“Leonel!!!!” it was Kelvin as he push Leon away from Rose. Leon grab him and punch his face.
“You son of a bitch… how dare you!!!!!, were is she… were the fuck is she?????” the real rootless king was out. This is the heartless Leonel the world know…
“I… I left her on the main Street… Please… Leonel…” He plead
“You’ll pay for this mess… I promise you will” he said and ran off.
I stood on the street for hours crying.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Leon got to the street and saw Gem he ran up to her.
“Kit… Gem” he corrected himself. I look up and saw his worried face. I can’t be fooled again. So I stood up and grab my briefcase and started walking.
“Gem…”
“Don’t touch me… I hate it when strangers touch me!!” I said and continue walking.
Leon started walking behind me.
“Am sorry… I know I messed up big time… I should have told you… but… but I was scared… scared that you’ll leave me… I…” he paused.
“Please… keep your lies to yourself… I trusted you… but all you’ve ever did was use me and lied to me… you’re just like My family… no you’re worse than them…”
“Gem…” He said about to hold me…
“LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!” I yelled “Mr. Leonel Mavis… I don’t need your pity… you can go to hell… LIAR BEAST!!!” I yelled.
“Gem… am… am sorry… I was going to tell you… I was… it…
…” I wasn’t hearing what he’s saying… I felt dizzy… no Gem you can’t lose consciousness in front of him!… so I started walking…
Leon noticed she was no longer waking straight so he walk close to her.
Just as she was about to fall he cut her. Tears still fill her eyes and some were still dropping from her eyes. He body was burning like flames. She cut a flu.
Leon push his emergency button and before 1 minutes his guards were everywhere.
“Gem…
. Gem stay with me… let me make it up to you… Please hear me out… Gem…”
“She’s not breath… she’s not breath doctor” a nurse yelled…
Leon look at me one more time and said.
“Whatever you have heard, whatever you have seen… it’s just a misunderstanding”
“You going to stay with your fiancée and lying to me you’re with your family, was a misunderstanding?’ I asked.
“What?, I really was with my family. I arrived yesterday… I wanted to surprise you… but… but she call, I didn’t wanted to go… but I went anyway, not because I still love her… it’s because I want to make things clear to her. Fine… I still care about her… but my feelings for her are gone… look what I feel for you I’ve never once felt for Rose when we were together. Gem I can’t rush to say I love you now because am still trying to understand this feeling. Please Gem don’t make me do this” he said.
“…”
Seeing I wasn’t saying anything he signed the papers.
“Here… I’ve signed them… you’re happy now right?”
I took the papers from him and tore them into pieces. I didn’t wait for him to react as I quickly hug him and press him hard to myself. I felt him hands caressing my back.
“Leon you’re crazy… don’t live me… I can’t live without you…” I cried.
“My little kitten… you scared the hell out of me. I can’t afford to lose you…” He said.
“So… you won’t use me anymore and pity me?” I asked.
“I’d only love you and pamper you… I want to spoil you a lot” he said and kissed my head.
“What about your fiancée?”
“Ex… Ex fiancée… and I have nothing to do with her” he said.
“Am a faithful little wife… you can’t be a cheating husband!!” I said
“I won’t… so you’re my little wife” he said and smiled. “Kitten I thought you were innocent… I never knew you were this hot tempered, maybe I should change your name to Tiger…”
“No… I love kitten…!!” I said.
“Hahaha… you’re too cute” he said.
“Leon… I want to go home… I hate hospital”
“Done!” he said.
Rose was angry. She couldn’t reach him.
“Leonel… I did everything for you… everything!!!!, now all the glory goes to a mere girl… a cheap actress… a slut… a bastard… I’ll break you Gem… I won’t let you have him Gem… even if I have to go to hell… I don’t mind.” She said.
She pick her phone and dial Kelvin number again but it wasn’t connecting.
“Fuck Kelvin we’re are you!!!!” she cursed.
“Leon we’re are we???” I asked as our car drove into a very big and beautiful estate.
“Our new home” he said.
“There are rumors that Mavis Leonel lives in one of the most expensive estate in the country and he wholes it. Don’t tell me… this… this is…”
“Yes… Mrs. Leonel…” He said and entangled my hands in his. My little hand fit perfectly.
“Nervous???”
I nodded.
“Why??”
“Cause… am afraid I’ll disappoint you. What is your family don’t like me???” I said.
“Kitten… you’re moving into my home… our home… not my families” he said
“I know but… what if they say am poor… and… you know… Leon!!!”
“Don’t worry grandma already loves you… and for the rest of my family I don’t give a damn what they think” he said
“But…”
“Kitten… no buts… okay???” he said and kissed the back of my palm.
When we got into the house… I froze. My mouth was opened. Leon look at Gem. Her jaw was dropping. He quickly push her jaw back to her mouth.
“Kitten…???”
“Huh????, Leon am not dreaming right?” I asked.
“Yes… you’re dreaming… and you’ll wake up soon” he said
“Really???, but I don’t want this to be a dream… I don’t want to walk up” tears filled my eyes. Seeing she was been sad Leonel quickly say.
“No… kitten am just joking… it’s not a dream… am here am real” he said but she cried even more.
“You don’t get it Leon. I… am not perfect… I feel am not felt for you… I mean Leonel Mavis has always been my crush… and you…”
“Baby… calm down… okay…” He said and sat down as he drag me to sit on his lap. He caress my back as I rest my head on his bold shoulders crying.
“I know this is quite a rush kitten… but just know that… am yours and you’re mine… Always… am still your Leon” he said.
Leon went to his torture house. He saw Kelvin. His men has beaten him black and blue.
“Leon… Leon.. please am sorry spear my life please…” he cried
“Spear you????, did you know how much you cost me???, how dare you!!!!” he yelled…
