Chapter 25
******
Ryan got back to his senses, why was he so angry that Gem refused to follow me and who was those girls guiding her?, is it true was Jolene told him that Gem sells her body to old men?.
He look at his men and said
“Find out who she’s with…” He said
“Yes sir”.
The five girls watch as Gem cry in the car. She was crying so bad. Her face was red and her wrist was hurt.
“Madam?” one them called.
“Am fine… Am fine” I said knowing they were worried.
“Do you want to go to the hospital?” she asked again.
“Am fine… d… don’t worry” I said.
We got home and I rush out of the car to Susan.
“Call Leon for me… he’s not taking my calls” I said.
“Madam are you alright, you look hurt?” she said.
“Am fine… Leon… h… he’s not picking my calls nor replying my messages, am sure you can contact him” I said
“Am sorry madam but I can’t do that” she said
“Why???, am his wife… he’s married to me… You’ll listen to me… I said call my husband!!!!” I yelled
“I can’t do that!” she yelled back.
“Ok… ok… am sorry I yelled… please… Please just call him am worried… I miss him… Please” I said holding her hands.
“You don’t even know anything about your husband, am sorry I can’t contact him” she said.
“But it’s been three weeks… he. He said… he’ll be back in two weeks… please… just tell me he’s fine!!” I said
“Yes he’s fine” she said.
“Thank you” I said and went upstairs.
Susan watch Gem, she’s just a naïve and innocent girl, she knows nothing… she’s just too pure for all these. And what’s with this Leon. She’s been trying to contact him but she can’t. She was worried too.
Lying on my bed I took my phone and texted him.
‘You jerk, once you come back I’ll divorce you. Why would you abandon me. I hate you… I hate you so much… don’t come back… just die there. Get Rosemary to come and help you feel better. I don’t ever want to you again… Liar… I hate you’
I cried so much that night. I couldn’t sleep that night. I was up till day break. My wrist was swollen and it hurts.
Susan was shocked when she saw me. She quickly called doctor Chen.
When I saw him I jump off the bed.
“Doctor… Have you seen or heard from my husband… please… tell me you have… he’s not…” I burst into tears.
“Madam… I can’t contact him too… Neither can Susan here” he said
“What?, I thought you said he was fine!!!” I yelled
“Madam… please let me Chen look at your wrist.” She said.
“Get out… all of you… just go!!!!” I yelled.
“Let me treat you… if Leon should come he won’t be happy to see you like this” he said
“You don’t understand… he said two weeks… I waited patiently but now… it’s almost four weeks and he’s not here… am scared” I said.
“It’s okay… please madam” he said.
Mr. Chen injected me and I sleep off. He treat my wrist.
“How is she?” Susan asked.
“Not good… thankfully you called her wrist would have been damage” he said.
“Have you heard from Leon?” she asked.
“Let’s talk outside”.
“Leon was shot by a gun” he said
“What?” Susan yelled.
“He has been in a critical condition for a week now, but he’s getting better now…”
“You have to let him know that Gem is worried sick, and what about his phone?, why isn’t him replying her message?” she asked.
“The enemies got his phone” he said.
“When is he coming back”
“Till he’s better, he doesn’t want Gem to get worried and cry”
“Well she’s already worried and she’s crying… can’t you see?” Susan yelled.
“I’ll tell him… he’ll surely be here tomorrow”
The next morning I woke up because of my phone. It kept on ringing. It was Leon.
“L… Leon?… Leon”
“Gem… it’s me”
“Leon… I missed you, you crazy bastard we’re are you?”.
“Gem… I don’t have much time. I want you to come to ******** factory, don’t tell anyone… don’t even bring your bodyguard… Gem come alone and make sure you switch off your phone”
“Huh?, why?… hello?, hello..?”
“Madam is that sir Leonel” she asked and I nodded.
“It’s strange… Don’t tell anyone… I have to go… uhmm what’s your name?” I asked her, she’s one of my new bodyguard.
“Sasha” she said
“Good Sasha… I want you to help me snick out of this mansion…” I said and she nodded. I switched my phone off and followed her.
Leon and doctor Chen came back to the mansion. Leon look worried, when Chen told him what happened to Gem he immediately took a night flight home so he could see her. He rushed into the house. Susan saw him and was surprised.
“Sir!!!!” she yelled
“Were is Gem?” he asked.
“She still sleeping inside” she said and Leon rushed upstairs only to open the door and met an empty bed. He frown, check everywhere in the room but couldn’t find her.
“Susan… she… she’s not here” he said.
“What she’s in her…” she swallow her words when she didn’t see Gem.
“What’s happening… Susan where is my wife!!!!!” he yelled and Susan shiver.
“Sir… sir… why… why are you here?” Sasha asked.
“What do you mean?” Leon asked.
“Didn’t you call Gem a while ago to meet up. With you somewhere… she’s on her way to meet you” she said
“Meet me?, I never called her my phone… my phone is with… no… no… where is she?” he asked
“She left minutes ago… I found it suspicious too so I put a tracker on her body… she’s heading to ******* factory” Sasha said.
Leon took out his new phone and made a call.
“The enemies are after my wife now father… what the fuck is going on???, I want her back in one hours… not a single hair should be missing in her body… or else!!!!!!!!!!!” he yelled…
I was inside a taxi when a thought bump into my head.
‘Why should I be the one to go meet him?, what does he take me for?, Mr. Mavis you’re really taking me granted.’
“Driver please turn the car around…” I said
‘ I’ll go stay with Ruth, when he sees am not coming to him he’ll be the one to panic, useless so called husband’.
Already Leon’s men has gone to the building and captured the group of men.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sasha saw that the tracker has changed location.
“Sir… you have to see this!” she yelled and rush to Leon. “The tracker is changing location… do you think they already captured her?”
“What direction is it heading?” he asked.
“Honey Villa” she said.
“She’s going to Ruth, prepare my car” Leon said.
“Mr. Mavis you can drive your health…”
“Just shut up and do as I say!!!” he yelled, his eyes spark in anger.
I got to Ruth apartment. I narrated everything to her.
“So if Leon should come here and ask of you I should tell him you’re not here?” she asked and I nodded, “I can’t!!”
“Why?” I asked
“Because am scared of him… his face is scary, I can’t bring myself to lie to him… I mean he is Leonel Mavis” she said and a car drove into her compound.
“That must be him… Ruth you can do this… don’t let him in… tell him am not here… tell him you didn’t see me at all… go…”
“Gem… I can’t he’s too scary… no… please I can’t…”
“Ruth he’s not scary at all… he’s an ass… go go…” I push her towards the door and ran to the kitchen.
Leon knock at the door twice and Ruth took a deep breath and opened the door. She immediately lock the door and came outside.
“Hi… I mean good evening… Mr…”
“Were is Gem?” he asked in a cold voice sending shiver into Ruth’s body.
“She’s… she’s… not… she said I should tell you she’s not here… but she’s inside…” She quickly said opened the door for Leon.
I heard the door opened from the kitchen. I took a glass of water and step out of the kitchen
“Ruth did he left already???, I told you he…” When I saw Leon I drop the glass in shock and glass shattered on the floor.
“Kitten… don’t move an inch…” He said and rush towards me and carried me in his hands away from the broken glass.
“Kitten are you okay?, did you get hurt??” he asked looking at my body. I really missed that name, I really want to hug him tight, kiss him hard and just hold him to myself but I felt something pulling me back.
“Why are you here?” I asked.
“Kitten… I… am sorry…”
“Three weeks and a half Leon… did you even think of me?” I asked.
“I know I messed up… am sorry… let me make it up to you…”
“Leon who am I to you?” I asked
“Gem you’re my wife!” he said and I showed him my leg fingers… showing him I wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.
“Am not married Leon. Leon… what do you really want. Me or Rose…”
“Gem it’s…”
“Don’t answer me yet Leon… go think about it. When you were gone for a few weeks I thought of this… when are you telling me about your new assistant?…”
“Gem… I… I was going to tell…”
