Three months passed.
His hearing was proceeded and luckily due to Mr. James sources his penalty was cut short from five years to one year. No matter how merciful this law gets. They were still punishing an innocent who tried to save his love.
Leon was shifted to the Queens detention complex. The thugs here were worse than any. Surviving was difficult because only the fittest and strongest can stand through such vicious criminals. He was strong and disciplined. The hope of meeting Eleanor kept him that way.
When the first month passed, he was ecstatic would be an understatement. He was on cloud nine because why not. Eleanor would've been discharged from the hospital and would come to meet him any day now. But his hopes started to deteriorate when the days kept on passing and she didn't come to even see him for once a
His heart screamed at him that there was something wrong but he didn't believe it.Eight months and twenty nine days have passed since he last saw her. Two hundred and seventy three days passed since he last felt her. Every time he thinks about their meeting or perhaps their last meeting his heart would scream inside the prison of his ribcage. Clawing at his chest to get out because it was suffocating.Every night he would lay on that cold rough surface with just one thought in his mind. Where did he go wrong? Why did she leave him? Wasn't he worthy enough of knowing his crime?Eleanor has vanished into thin air. His friends would come to visit him but every time they would lower their heads because they couldn't get to know about her whereabouts. James also didn't visit him for once.
Eleanor gazed at the picture frame on the kitchen counter as she talked to it. "I'm not feeling hungry, but I've to eat to stay healthy. I know that, would you stop glaring at me." She muttered while glaring back at the picture.Plating her pasta, she placed it on the small dining table where another frame was placed in front.Placing the water on the side she washed her hands to eat her food. She wasn't hungry. She never had any appetite now. All she did was to shove the food down her throat so her body kept on working and she kept on living.Before she could sit on her seat the doorbell rang.With furrowed brows she walked to the door and peeked through the peephole to find no one out there.Strange.
Silver against ocean blue.Leon's heart trembled in his chest. His hold on her jaw became soft and tender."I'm s-sorry to disappear l-like that but we c-can't be t-together." She stuttered while trying her best to hold her tears in, that were burning to be let out of her eyes.The softness in his eyes evaporated in a puff followed by an angry look."Reason?" He asked calmly but she could practically hear his molars grinding together in anger.His intimidating and dominating aura made her look so small in front of him. His body heat so close to her was making her lose her mind. It was difficult to control herself when all she wanted to do was kiss him with burning passion and chase his anger away.
He let that piece of shard go as it fell on the floor breaking into more tiny pieces scattering all over the place.She flinched at the noise as she stared at him who was slowly backed away towards what he had seen earlier on her kitchen counter.Bottle of Alcohol.He needs it. Grabbing it he removed the cap and chugged the bitter liquid down as it burned his throat.With a jerk the bottle was snatched from him and tiny little Eleanor glared at him with teary eyes. "Give it back!" He grumbled but she only swivelled on her feet and walked towards the sink to get rid of the liquid.His eyes widened slightly before he rushed to save the only thing that could make him go numb. "Give it back." He growled while trying to snatch it
"There's no Leon Alessandro without Eleanor Dawson.... Leon couldn't exist without Eleanor..." He breathed, wiping her tears with his thumb as his arm tightened around her waist pulling her more closer."In love you don't suffer alone. You suffer together, bloom together.... That is love..." His hand snaked at the nape of her neck. Grabbing a chunk of her hair he pulled her face closer to his own."And you are my love." With that said he slammed his lips on hers in a passionate heated kiss filled with longing. His heart sighed in content which was going crazy to taste her lips as soon as it entered her apartment.Her hands softly cupped his rugged jaw as they kissed until they couldn't breath. She could taste alcohol on his lips and no doubt she wanted to get drunk on him. Eleanor whimpered when he bit on her neck a
"This is my wall, don't you dare touch it." Leon warned in a serious tone earning a giggle from her as she stared at him with her big ocean eyes dancing with mirth.She was making flower designs on all the walls just to annoy him."Are you afraid husband?" She mused while her eyes roamed at his tan skin. He was painting the wall and was shirtless, his muscles flexing making her mouth water and core tingle.Right after their night of vigorous love making. Next morning they went straight to her mansion where he asked for her hand in marriage from her father who agreed happily.A lot had changed between Eleanor and James during the time she was away from Leon and in the hospital. James asked for her forgiveness, she saw her dad so vulnerable and broken that time making her
"Thank you..." She breathed after getting down from his bike and running all the way to his penthouse. Her cheeks were flamed after what he did in the restaurant.This man aka her husband was crazy. He locked her in the girl’s restroom and ate her out right then and there because she looked too alluring.Her breath hitched when she felt his arm sneaking around her belly and he pulled her back flushed to his chest."Running away from me huh?" He rasped near her ear as a shiver raked her body."That was a very dangerous s-stunt you performed in the girl's restroom..." She mumbled only to gasp when he swivelled her around. His large hand wrapped around her delicate neck and he pulled her to him. Her hands landed on his abs.
"Would she be fine?" Leon asked with worry practically dripping from his voice.Eleanor was sick from last night. He wanted to take her to the hospital ASAP but the girl didn't let him, saying she would be fine in the morning only to end up in a more severe condition."Let me do her thorough checkup first." The elderly doctor said with a soft smile as she went to the room where Eleanor was with the nurse."Mama would be fine dad." Said the 4 year old Hope in a soft baby voice. She was in Finn's arms who too was present."Yes Princess, she would be fine. She has to be." Leon said while pulling Hope in his arms as the small baby girl placed her head on his shoulder while closing her Hazel eyes that were filled with tears in the worry for the mother.
