"I'll make it back to you when I get back"
"That's what you always say, I'm so lonely without you" his eyes clouded.
"You have Malcom, and his friend, what's the name again? I asked
"His friend's name his Jade" his eyes lit up.
"I'll play with you when I get back I promise"
He nodded.
"You'll be a good boy till I get back?
" Yes " he replied.
Landon was all I could think about at the meeting.
Tho I'd tightened security, I had to be with him every hour.
"Have you heard the news? Bexley asked bringing me out of my reverie.
" No I haven't "
There wasn't any time for me even check the news.
"We're ranking number one currently, the investment was a huge success"
I smiled.
"You did well" he added
I knew how difficult it was for him to say those words, but I felt good.
My husband's company was not facing bankruptcy, instead it was moving forward every day.
"We do need to trust your decisions, I must admit" Mr jerkins smiled at me.
" I appreciate y'all's trust and support, to more greater heights "
" Why don't we host a small gathering to celebrate this? Bexley asked
"Not bad" I replied.
"Leave it to me, you just have to grace the gathering with your lovely presence " he smiled.
One thing I learnt about buisness was the benefit of profit, it was what kept one on the safe spot.
Even if they didn't care about me, the profit I was making was beneficial to them,
In due time, they could accept my leadership totally.
Bexley could host the party, Mr jerkins could attend to the foreign investors, I had to be home right now.
The doctor was on his way for another session with Kingston.
I had to be there.
The moment I arrived home, the Doctor was already waiting in the living room.
"How long have you been waiting?
" Just thirty minutes"
" I'm sorry.."
"You are a very busy woman, no need to apologize" he adjusted his glasses
"Let's go upstairs then" I led the way.
The moment Landon saw the doctor,his face turned sour.
He knew what was coming, I too could not stand it.
But in order for him to get better, I had no choice..
Landon backed away slowly, covering his head with his hands..
"No needles, no needles" he yelled.
"Calm down Landon" I did not want him to get another panic attack.
"You want to get better right? Calm down, breathe" I walked towards him.
"No, get him away from me" he yelled, throwing away his toys.
" Landon " I reached for him.
His hand held mine.
" Please don't let him "
I held him, as his body racked against mine.
"you have to let him"
"No I won't"
"Please"
"I'll take you out, I'll do whatever you want"
I held him, staring into his Preety brown eyes.
"What do you want? I asked, threading carefully.
" I want out.. I want to go out with you and malcom.. I want out, I want it "
" Okay, I'll go out with you "
I signalled out the doctor who stood watching the scene.
He came forward, bringing forward his injection.
I held Landon, letting him bury his face against me.
I couldn't watch as the Doctor injected him.
He held me tightly sniffing.
"You'll be fine, I promise"
"He'll be fine, he will only feel weak for some minutes"
"Thank you Doctor"
"I'll be back to check on him"
Landon held me, his eyes closed.
I would not give up on him.
I would fix Landon, no matter what it cost me, I could protect and be his shield.
Till he returns, as the most wealthiest and unbeatable Man in L A.
I stayed home through out the day, working and attending to emails on my laptop till Nina and Gareth showed up, with an elderly man holding big brown documents.
"Why are the both of you here?
My eyes lingered on the suitcase, Gareth held.
" Since you won't give Landon over, we've decided to stay here"
" You won't, I won't let you stay here" I stared at him.
" What will you do? Do you want to meet in court? Thankfully I brought a lawyer"
" I don't care about you or your half baked lawyer, I won't let you stay "
" You have no right " Nina pointed to the mansion.
" This is his brother's house, and we'll both stay here"
" You will no, I'll go to court and face the both of you"
" Please don't" Nina's tone changed.
I knew Nina to be very dramatic, I didn't figure out why she was putting on an act.
" I'm pleading with you"she continued
"He really wants to stay with Landon, he loves him, he wants to play with him, he wants to be there for you, what do you gain by seperating two brothers?
"Please Ren, please let me be with my brother,
Three days is enough for me, please" Gareth joined in.
"You can both stay"
I turned, and Landon was behind me, a frown etched on his face.
"Ren, let them stay" Landon's eyes were on Gareth
"Landon they can't..I...."
"Let them stay please, you are always at work, the house is quiet and lonely"
I could not refuse him this Time, he could definitely make a fuss if I didn't allow Gareth stay.
" I got you new toys and snacks " Gareth smiled.
"Thank you brother" Landon smiled
I wanted to take Gareth out, and put a bullet to his chest.
Gareth staying over was bad news.
He would fill Landon with lies.
He could try his possible best to create a rift between Landon and I.
He could do it with the help of Nina.
The con manipulative bitch.
"Let's go upstairs, Landon" I took his hands.
Gareth eyed me.
"There's something I want to tell you Landon, can you stay with me?
Landon stopped, his eyes flickered from my face to Gareth's.
"Please" Gareth pleaded
"Landon you're with going to choose Gareth or me" I said and Nina rolled her eyes.
" Don't make me choose" Landon looked down.
" I want to spend time with you Landon and if you're going to pick Gareth, don't bother coming to me"
It was petty, but it was all I could do to stop Gareth from interacting with Landon
"I'll stay with you" Landon said, and I smiled."I love you" I took his hands, enjoying the look on Gareth's faceI took him upstairs.Nina and Gareth, could pose as a big distraction, and I could not afford to be distracted.I had meetings, choking deadlines to meet, huge workload.What if something bad happens?They weren't the only one I was worried about, what if his other siblings decide to show up?I won't be able to forgive myself if something happens to Landon.My phone beeped, I'd forgotten all about the celebration party.Bexley was texting me the location, and I had to show up.Failure to do so, and everything could go low.I had to establish their trust before taking any risk.There was only one person I could trust right now concerning Landon, Tia could take care of him till I was back from the party."Do not let Gareth or Nina close to him" I warned."You can stay here with him""Tia do you want to hear about Malcom and Jade? Landon swirled the toy car in the air."Most
"Landon""Go away""We need to talk" I banged the door, yet no reply"Landon, baby please""I'm never listening to your lies"" Landon open up"" Leave me alone" I paced around," Let's both go out with Malcolm just as you wanted"" I don't want to go anywhere with you" he replied. I needed Tia to try coax himI went downstairs to see Nina helping herself to huge delicacies lined in front of her.The woman had guts."Tia" I called out, and she came immediately."Pack everything, not a single dish should remain"Nina rolled her eyes."This is nothing compared to what I eat daily" she scoffed."Than go back and continue eating what you eat daily""I'll only go back when I've succeeded in kicking you out"" You won't, no matter what you try"" I won't be so confident if I were you""What did you tell Lan? I asked "Ohh" she relaxed against the couch, crossing her legs."That you were cheating on him? And that the guy in dark goggles was one of the men you were seeing, it's pretty easy
Landon was not against them staying, it would be very difficult to kick them out.I had to make out more time from my tight schedule, more time to stay home and look after Landon, or everything would come to nothing."Are you hungry Lan? I asked." Have you eaten? He asked."No I didn't" I repliedI didn't eat last night, I went straight to bed mad with worry about the company, about Nina, Gareth and Landon."Let's eat together then" Landon smiled After eating, Landon and I cuddled up together watching his favorite cartoon shows."I like spending time with you Ren" he whispered"I'll spend as much time as I can with you, I promise"" You won't leave me for that dude would you?"Never" I replied and he snuggled closer.Spending time with Landon was much better than enduring lot's of toxic employers and dealing with complaints from board of directors.I turned off my phone, Skipping work for one day would not affect the company's finances..I turned to Landon."Let's do whatever you wa
"Are you okay Landon? I asked" I missed you " he replied." I missed you too " I breathed in relief,Nina watched me, a sly smile on her face."We didn't murder him, he's okay, why do you hate us so much?she was putting on an act again.I wanted to hit her repeatedly till she was dead.I ignored her." Nina and Gareth are very nice, I want to spend time with them too" " Let's talk upstairs Landon"I ignored both Nina and Gareth and walked upstairs with Lan." Did they say anything to you?"No" he replied."Why do you hate them? His brows furrowed.There was no way he'd believe that his brother was the very one rooting for his downfall, followed by his manipulative wife."I do not hate them, I'm only doing this to protect you""They're not bad"His attention slipped away from me to his toys.One day he would understand.I went to my room, freshened up, and focused on work.Tia came in."There's someone here to see you"From her face, I could tell that it was no good."Eddie" she add
The doctor stood in the living room waiting for me."Good morning Mrs Kingston" he cleared his throat.He was here for Landon, and I was for terrified for Landon.He could get into another one of his episodes."Good morning Doctor""Let's go upstairs"Landon was up already, he stared at me and then at the doctor.He trembled, stepping backwards." Landon "" Don't let him inject me ""Landon please"He stepped backwards till he's against the wall.The doctor stared at me, his eyes pleading for help.I walked towards Landon."Please Ren, don't let him near me" he held my hands."Landon, he's going to help you get better, please calm down""No I don't want to get better, he's bad, very bad"I held him close."Landon please"He whimpered, his body rocking, he shivered against me.I felt the pain, the fear, Landon was afraid of injections right from the very first day.I held him close and motioned for the doctor."Close your eyes Landon, it'll be over before you know it"He held me tight
"Landon""Don't ever ask them to leave""But..""You can leave if you want " he walked out, I followed." Landon are you okay?"I'm not" he raised his voice"Why do you hate my family? Why do you hate me?"You know that's no true""Don't come close" he threw the next thing he could lay his hands on.The glass shattered on the floor.I frozed, I'd never see him so angry."If you don't want to stay with me you can just go""Stop it, stop it please" the tears spilled.He could not understand all I was doing for him."Landon I'm sorry"He Shaked his head."I'm really sorry""Leave, just leave""Lan I..." Go "I walked out, I called Tia to get the pieces of glass sonhe could not hurt himselfI went back to my room.Nina and Gareth were definitely having the best time.They'd successfully triggered Landon.I sat by the bed side, overwhelmed, there was so much to do.There was no one by my side.I was fighting hard to protect this man, it was so hard.Someone knocked at the door"Ren please
"what has he done this time? I ask, as I stepped into the big mansion."How did you know ma'am? The house help trembled." I feel it"" I didn't mean to, I couldn't stop him " " I know " I replied and she trembled as she followed me.It wasn't a surprise, once again, Landon had turned the quarter to a mess, different toys sprawled on the floor, food and drinks spilled all over, and he was on one side clearly unaffected."What's this? Landon fucking King? He turned and flinched." I missed you so much, you weren't here" he said, his brown eyes sparkling, innocently. "Is that why you made a mess? Just look around" "Don't yell at me" he stood up and stared at me, a sulky expression on his face."Of course" I rolled my eyes."Can I hug you? He asked"Yeah " I replied, I can't stay mad at him, he knows.In a second, he's all over me, holding my waist, my own hands on his shoulder."I missed you""I missed you too" I replied.I missed the side of him I used to know.The side of him be
Absolutely No one I could Rely on.I had to be strong if I wanted to win."You won't win to the Rival's if you invest" Bexley pounded his fist on the table.I was seated in front of Landon's board of directors.They did not want me as the Ceo of the company, and they made it known.There was nothing they could do about it tho, I was in charge, they had to accept it."I've made my decision, we'll invest""And incur losses? Bexley raised his eyebrow." This is a wrong path "" Me jerkins, I appreciate you, but this is what I want " I said and they murmured amongst themselves." I've thought about this thoroughly, and this is the only way to win "" We'll loose everything " Mr Grant glared at me." Y'all have to trust me " "We've accepted you, not enough? Bexley asked a smug expression on his face." You've accepted me, work on trusting me" I smiled."I'll see you all tomorrow" I stood up.I went straight to my car, not stopping to acknowledge any comments they made.I was getting home
"Landon""Don't ever ask them to leave""But..""You can leave if you want " he walked out, I followed." Landon are you okay?"I'm not" he raised his voice"Why do you hate my family?

THREE YEARS AGO."Are you here for the interview? The lady with the glasses and a mole on her cheeks asked."Yes " I replied."You're next in line, good luck"The moment I stepped into the office, I wanted to turn and go back.The man staring at me was very handsome, His aura enveloped me like air.He was a sight to behold, pointed nose, tanned skin, beautiful sparkling eyes, he emitted strong charm.He could make any woman go weak in the knees if he stared at her like this....The light weight silk suit he wore was slightly buttoned, I could see the outline of his chest.He was one of those guys that girls dreamt and fantasized about. He fiddled with his pen, and I stared at those veiny hands."Ren or?..." Ren" I replied."Files?I gave him the files." You're looking for a secretary right?"I'm looking for a wife" His eyes flickered over every part of my body and my cheeks heated.He chuckled."Why do you want this job?"
