The CEO is my bodyguard

I prayed continually in my heart that Leon doesn’t cause any trouble.

“I… I wanted to help mom” I said and he walk down to me… he look at the vegetables am cutting and smile

“They are cute… but you’re feeding humans not animals… why are they so big?” He asked,

“…” I was speechless.

“Let me show you how it’s done” he said and hugged me from behind. His big hands covered mine as he started moving his hands, I allowed him move my hands. I was like a little child who is shown how to write.

The scene was so beautiful as Leon mother smiled from behind, he watch how tender Leon was to his wife. She was so small in his arms. She could tell Leon really love her.

“Mom… are you… uhm… can you bake some cookies for me later… I want Gem to taste your cookies… I missed them” Leon said and his mother smiled as a drop of tears falls from her eyes.

“Yes… yes I… I’ll do that son… thank you son…” She said. I smiled at Leon and kissed his cheek.

“Thanks Leon!” I whispered as he hook his hands round my waist.

“For what?” He’s voice was so seductive

“For forgiving her” I said

“Every I do… is for you kitten… they all are for you… only if you promise to always stay by my side”

“Am not going anyway Leon… Unlike you who always leave me” I said and look away from him. He kissed my head and hugged me. My head rest on his chest.

“Am sorry… I’ll never leave without notice again” he said

“That’s what you always say” I tried not to cry though my eyes were red.

He broke the hug and cup my cheeks

“You made me come here alone…” I said and he frown.

“Am such a moron for doing that… am so stupid for leaving you… am a very big fool for doing that…” My tears finally drop and he wipe them away. “But am sorry and am telling you it will never happen again… I love you… I love you so much”

“I love you much more” I said and he smiled and his lips met mine. He pulled me close and deepen the kiss.

Mom watch the two lovers being romantic.

“Uh… ehmmm…” Someone cleared his throat. I broke the kiss because I know Leon won’t. How could I forget we were around people… I felt so embarrassed. It was Leon’s father.

“Mood spoiler” Leon whispered and anger filled his face again as he look at his father. His father frown too.

“Leon…” I whispered and he looked at me.

“Son…”

“Am not your son!!!” Leon yelled, so loud the hall echoed. I’ve seen Leon angry before but not to this extent… His muscles were even reacting to his anger… he was going to explode.

“Leon…” I whispered

“Stay out of this Gem… let’s go inside” he dragged my hands along.

We got to the room and he slam the door. He finally let go of my hands and walk towards the window. Trying to calm himself he was taking a deep breath.

“Gem… am… am sorry… I don’t usually…”

“It’s okay… I understand” I said

“You… You’re not going to scold me for yelling at my father?” He looked surprised

“Why should I?, He deserved that… but… Leon… can you forgive him for me?” I asked. He walked closer to me and hugged me.

“Am so intoxicated to you… you’re like a drug I can’t leave…” He said pressing me more to himself. “I’ll try Leon… I’ll try… but remember… it’s all for you…” I broke the hug and look deep in his eyes.

“Leon… is everything okay?, Is it about what you want to tell me?” I asked and I saw the fear in his eyes “I’ll wait till you’re ready to tell me… don’t fell guilty… I’ll wait. Am fine” I said and he smiled as his eyes goes red, it’s like he’s trying not to cry and he hugged me again.

Jolene’s father slam the files on the ground… He’s mission wasn’t successful.

“Those useless insurance… how could they dare now to release the property file…”

“Daddy calm down… there should be another way… I have a plan… but we have to lay low for now…”

“Yes honey… live this to us… all you have to do is play along… let your guards beat you up”

“What???, No way!!!” He yelled

“Daddy listen to mom… we know gem has a heart of gold… she still cares about you… I know… you have to be beaten you so that you’ll be rushed to the hospital… we will call gem and tell her you’re hurt… she’ll come running… we have to be close to her again… daddy we need her” Jolene said and her father grow silent

“Fine… let… let’s do it”

Leon was with his brothers, the truth be told… am really nervous to be close to them… they look so… I don’t know?, Like… too high for me to reach… I’ll just hang around with Mom and Grandma.

“This is Leon when he was 2… oh… here is when he took his first step” mom show me Leon’s memory photo box.

“Aww… he’s so so cute…” I said and we laughed, I saw a picture of him being naked.

“He went to the beach that day and refuse to wear clothes… I forced him but he run away naked…” She said and we laughed again “back then he was 5… and…” My phone started ringing.

“Uhmm excuse me” I said and look at the callers Id… “Jolene?” I said why was she calling me…

“You can go answer the call… we… will wait” grandma said and I nodded. Grandma frown, that name Jolene… wasn’t that the name of the Hardin kid back then…?, “Strange” she said

“Mom… I know what you’re thinking but it’s not… there are millions of people called that name in this world”

“I hate hearing that name… I hate that family” she said.

I walked towards the garden

“Hello?”

“Gem gem… what do we do!!!” Jolene was crying

“Stop the act Jolene… why are you calling me?” I asked rolling my eyes.

“Dad… it’s dad and am not acting… dad was beaten up… I don’t… know… we… we are at the hospital… dad kept calling your name…”

“What!!!, What… what hospital???” I asked

“… Hospital… Please be quick…” She said

“Am… am not in town… but… I promise I’ll be there… just wait” I ended the call crying. Even though he’s not my real father… he was the one who brought me up… gave me shelter… and the love I have for him as a father will be hard to eliminate.

I ran back inside

“L… Leon… w… where is Leon?” I painted as I asked Sasha

“He is upstairs with his brothers… madam Everything okay!!!”… i didn’t answer her as I run upstairs crying.

I entered the room crying “Leon…” I called and he jumped off his chair and ran to me.

“Gem… what… what happened… why are you crying… are you hurt…!” He was in great panick…

Leon was discussing business with his two elder brothers. He missed his little kitten already. What could she be doing?, She must be chatting with Grandma and mother!,

“Leon… Leon!” Anthony called and Leon was deep in thought until Nathaniel touched him.

“Oh…” He muttered

“What are you thinking about?” Anthony asked and Leon smiled.

“Am really happy that Sister in law is in your life… I can see lots of difference” Nathaniel said

“How did you know I was thinking of her?!” Leon asked

“It’s obvious, no one makes you smile apart from her… you really love her don’t you?” Anthony teased. And Leon smiled wider.

“Mmhmm… I really love her… she’s…”

“LEON!!!”

That was when Gem called, she was panting and crying.

Leon ran to me. And hold my shoulders, supporting me from falling.

“Leon…”

“Gem… what… what happened… what are you crying? Are you hurt… did you hurt…” I shook my head “then what… why are you crying???”

“It’s… it’s… I…” He looked at my eyes. I could see how worried he is…”Jolene… she… she called… she… my father…”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Leon stiffed did she find out that her father was the one who tried to murder his grandfather?

“She said… father… is at the hospital… he’s in a critical condition… why Leon… why does everyone I love always get hurt… and… and leave me… why?” Seeing she still doesn’t know the truth Leon heaves a deep sigh…

Without saying anything Leon carried me bridal style… he turned to his brothers

“You’ll excuse me… I have to take care of my woman” he said and walked out.

Leon place me on the bed when we got to our bedroom.

“Gem… you know you’re pregnant… you being like this is not good for the baby” he said. His voice was calm and slow. “I’ll call Noah to confirm… but am not going to let you go to them”

“Leon… PL…”

“GEM NO…!!!!” he yelled…”What’s your problem… why are you so fragile on heart… are you that stupid to believe what ever you’re told???, Gem that Jolene or whatever her name is, is part of the reason why we lost our first child… I didn’t destroy her because I didn’t want to…”

“Leon… I just have to pay a little visit…” I cut in…

“Don’t you get… I SAID YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!” he yelled.

Grandma and mother heard Leonel yelled. They both ran upstairs.

“Leon , why are you being so possessive of me?” I asked

“Because I own you!!” He yelled

“Leon… stop that Leon…” Mother yelled

“Leon… why are you scaring her!!!” Grandma yelled. Leon didn’t care if Grandma and mother was here… he kept on looking at me… and I knew he was disappointed.

“Don’t make me lock you up… you’re not going anywhere near that family again…” He said and walked into our little parlor.

“What’s going on?” Grandma asked. I was so shocked to speak… Leon just got really mad at me… Does he hate me now… “Gem!” Grandma called again.

“It’s nothing… it’s fine… Grandma… I want to rest…” I said and lye proper on the bed. Grandma looked worried and tuck me in before she left with Mom.

Jolene was smiling from mouth to mouth.

She was so happy. The plan was that once Gem comes… she’ll find a way to copy her finger print and summit it to the files.

Then once she has the property she’ll go for Leonel.
