The CEO is my bodyguard

Chapter 30



“Hi Mr. Leonel” she said.

“I thought I already made it clear to you…”

“I know am here because your business partner sent me… so we’ll be seeing each other more than expected” she said and drop a file on my table. She raised her hands showing me the ring I gave her two years ago.

“I will never give up Leonel… never… you’re mine” she said and left the room.

I watch her leave. I don’t know but I felt am no match for Rose. Seeing Leon coming back to the room I ran back to the bed pretending to be asleep. Leon came and lye down close to me, hugging me to himself… “Don’t mind her too much, she’s just crazy… go to sleep you look stressed out” he said. So he knew I saw Rose.

I opened my eyes as I look around the dark room. Oh I remember I was in Leon’s room.

I walk outside and he was seating on his couch receiving a video call speaking different languages. The person on the screen seems to notice me and pointed in the screen. Leon turn around and gave me a smile. He turned back to the screen and they all started smiling again.

I turned to go back to the room, he looks busy but Leon called. “Gem…” Well I’ve come to not like the Gem name, I love it when he calls me Kitten… it put butterfly in my stomach. I frown, I’ve came to notice he only calls me Gem when he is in a bad mood and calls me Kitten when he’s happy. I guess right now he wasn’t happy.

I turned around and faced him.

“You’re awake!” he said standing up and walk up to me.

“Leon…”

“You look so tired, you should have stayed at home, why did you come back so early… I thought you loved it in Paris” he said

“Ha… Really… after telling me we are attending a grand ball, making me wait like hell for you, leaving me without notice, you expect me to stay in Paris?” I said, my tone was calm but anger and pain filled it.

“Leon… you loved it in Paris”

“I love Paris because I was there with the man I love… I loved Paris because…” I broke in tears. Damn… I tried not to cry. He was about to hold my shoulders but I push his hands off.

“How could you leave me there?” I asked.

“Gem… you have Sasha… and few of my men to guard you…”

“Leon… you’re making me confused really…” I said, I remembered seeing the ring on Rose fingers. It was so beautiful. I looked at my fingers which was clutching my skirt. I was his wife but I don’t even have a ring. This is crazy.

“Am sorry about what happened in Paris” he said “Gem… I know I don’t deserve you…”

“Leon… Seriously where are you heading to?” I asked.

“All I want is for you to be happy but I keep on hurting you… I… I think we both need some space” he said

“What???, Leon… that’s not what I want… all I want is to know you so I can change you…”

“I don’t want to be changed… but you’re driving me crazy… Go home… I need time to think” he said and turned his back at me.

“No you’re the one driving me crazy. Am a girl who believe in fairytale but you ruined everything when you came into my life. I fell for you… you saved my life… you protected me… and out of nowhere you asked me to marry you… I did… Thinking this was fate… Thinking at least all be safe and happy… but I was wrong… I don’t even have a wedding ring, I didn’t get to see my wedding certificate… Fuck this Leon… The whole world still think she’s your fiancée and you are not even bothering to tell them you guys are no more together. If she’s your fiancée then what am I to you?, A fuck bunny?, or… or… you threesome?… You know what Leonel Mavis… I regret,… I regret ever know you… ever accepting you, ever loving you, no… I regret ever been alive… you need some space?, fine… I’ll give it to you… in fact I’ll give you lots of space…” I walked towards the door but stop and said to him “Oh… and that ring looks good on her fingers too… don’t search for me… Goodbye”

Leon was still trying to hold back himself. But he burst as he started breaking and scattering his office. Gem’s each and every word repeat in his head. He growled and punch the wall until his hands was bruised. He sat on the floor crying like a little child. Leon hasn’t cried for long, Infact he never cried too much as a child but today… he cried his heart own.

“Gem… Gem… no… you can’t leave…” he ran out. Everyone was surprised to see Leon in that state. His hands were bleeding, he had blood all over his face, his shirt and his knuckles. His eyes were red, his face was wet.

“Were is she???” he yelled and grab one of his men. “Gem… where is she?…, find her FIND HER!!!’ he yelled and fell unconscious on the ground.

Leon opened his eyes. He look around and saw Grandma. He stood up and rip the drip off his hands.

“Going somewhere?” she asked angrily

“Am going to find Gem!” he said.

“Don’t bother… she safe… she’s in my Villa” she said.

“I have to go see her” he said and stood up.

Leon got to Grandma Villa, as he was about to enter the house but the men stopped him.

“Am afraid sir but you can’t go inside”

“Are you out of your mind!!!??, do you know who you are dealing with?, am here to see my wife… more while am being nice” he said.

“Am sorry sir but your wife is not here” hearing this Leon landed a punch on his cheeks. The guy passed out instantly.

Many men surround him. Then grandma car drove in.

“What the scene all about?” she yelled.

“Madam… he insist on entering the house but we refused so he use violence”

“Granny they won’t let me see my w…”

“Mr. Mavis why are you here?” she said.

“Grandma?”

“I don’t have a shamelessly grandson who push his lovely wife away out of stupidity!!!!” she yelled.

“Please… Please grandma… I know… I was a coward… I messed up put please don’t take her away from me…”

“I didn’t take her away from you… you pushed her away… you pig… you told her you need space… You’re getting the consequences for your actions!” she yelled but Leon went down on his kneels. Grandma was shocked. This is the Leonel full of pride, he won’t even agree to kneel in the church but now… he’s down on his kneels because of his woman.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“She doesn’t want to see you Leon… you made her almost killed herself… she cries day and night… I can’t… no… I won’t let you met her” she yelled. As she was about to walk pass him Leon hold her feet.

“Please granny please…”

I was inside the room, If it wasn’t for grandma I guess I’d have been far away from earth.

I decided to take a walk into the kitchen when I heard the name I was longing to be called.

“Kitten…”

I turned around and saw Leon. My body was overjoyed to see him if I didn’t control myself quickly I would have run to hug him. I remembered what happened in his office anger took over me again. Leon walk up to me. He looked stressed out. His eyes were down and tired.

“Kitten…” he called again, Grandma followed him from behind.

“Grandma you’re here” I walk pass him and went to hold Grandma’s hand. Grandma looked at me and patted my cheeks.

“Little Gem… your husband is here” she said with a sad face.

“I don’t have a husband grandma… see?” I showed her my fingers “do you see any ring on me?” I asked trying as hard as I can not to cry but my throat was heavy.

“Little Gem… don’t say that… talk to him” she said again.

“I don’t want to!” I said.

“Gem… please… am sorry” I heard Leon say and the tears broke free from my eyes. I quickly wipe them off, I hate myself for being such a cry baby.

“I’ll excuse myself” she said and walk towards the living room.

“What do you think you doing?” I asked looking at him with hatred. Seeing him reminds me of my foster parents.

“Gem please… I know I was stupid… just I want you back home… I’ve missed you” he said

“You missed me?, oh really, all you want is your happiness… have you think of me… you promised to find my parents but you’re doing nothing about it. You were the one who asked for space… so am willing to give you all the space you want” I said about to walk away but he grab me and pulled me in for a kiss. I whine in his hands and broke free from his kiss. I wanted him to know I was dead serious with him and I was really angry and disappointed in him. Immediately I broke free I slapped him.

“No Gem!!!!” Grandma yelled. I watch Leon grow angry his eyes landed on me with sharp gaze and dying era.

“Leon… son…” Grandma quickly home his hands. I was confused at first. What’s going on.

“Grandma am fine…” Leon whispered and grandma was surprised. Leon look at me and gave me a sad smile.

“I’ve found your parents kitten… but I was afraid you’ll be sad if I let you know, I hate to see you hurt see you sad. Kitten… your mom died while giving birth to you and you had a serious accident with your dad when you were 5, he died in that car accident but you were injured. I heard a man treated you and put you in the orphanage, when you woke up you didn’t remember anything, that was when your foster parents came to adopt you…” he said.

“…” I was speechless.

“Leon you need to rest… I’ll call doctor Chen”

“No grandma… she have to… Uhmm…” he groan and fell on his knees. I ran to him.

“Leon… are… are you okay?” I asked and he shook his head.

“H… how can I… I be… you hate me now… I… I messed up…”

“Grandma what’s happening to him…?” I asked

“You shouldn’t have hit him… gosh you two really no nothing about each other…” She said.

“Hubby… I… I don’t hate you… am sorry… you can’t be like this… huh?, please… you…” he fell on my body ” Leon… Leon…!!!!”

“Call doctor Chen… don’t just stand there!!!!!” Grandma yelled but Leon suddenly moved his hands and hug my waist.

“I love you Gem… I know I do… I know I’ve hurt you… but I really love you so much” he said and hugged me tighter.

“Leon… you’re up… how are you feeling?, I’ve called doctor Chen” grandma said.

“No need grandma, my heart doctor is right in front of me… am happy and satisfied…” he said and I just gaze at him “Kitten I’ll make things right… I promise…”

Leon was resting in his room and grandma lock us up in the room.

I sat down on the couch pretending to be busy with my phone.

“It’s not comfortable there… come to bed” he said

“…”

“If you don’t want to stay near me it’s okay, you can come to bed I’ll stay on the couch” he said again.

“…”

“Kitten…” my phone started ringing. Oh thank God.

“Hello…”

“Gem… where are you… the set date was wrong… the last scene is today… you have 39 minutes to be here…” Ruth said.

“Ok… I’ll be on my way…” I jump off the couch.

“Going somewhere?” he asked again.

I ignore him “Grandma… open the door… o have to be on set… grandma!!!” I yelled.

“She won’t answer you” he said. I called and called but grandma who answer me. I look at the time. I was already 9 minutes late.

“Ok… help me” I said to him and he smiled.

“Call me hubby” he said and I frown.

“Go to hell!” I said but do I have a sale. “Fine hubby help me”

A wide smile appeared on his face. He stood from bed.

“Now for me to walk up to u you, you have to say I love you for every step I take”

“What???, no way!!!” I yelled and he sat on the bed staring at me.

“Fine… I love you” I said and he took a tiny step, “Really?” I frown and he nodded. “I love you… I love you l love you I love you…” I said until he finally get to the door.

“Now kiss me then I’ll open the door” he said and I frown again. I tiptoe and peck his lip.

“Aww… my kitten… you’re really a bad student… how the hell did you graduate from school?, I thought I taught you how to kiss last time?” he said and drag my waist close to his body. His lips landed on mine, I kissed him back.

(What even though am angry with him my body still react to him, don’t blame me). …
