*****

Grandma was fun to be with, I didn’t even know whether Leon was gone or not.

"Little Gem, I'm bored," she said.

"Grandma, let’s go shopping," I said.

"Okay…..let’s do that….get me my laptop, you," she said to her guard.

"Laptop? grandmother….that’s more boring, let’s go shopping, like to the mall…it’s fun, where you hide your identity and shop like a normal person…. Please, grandmother, I promise it’ll be fun…let’s try it." I pouted.

"Kid, I normally order all my clothes online…..well if you say so," she said.

Leon and Rose went on a trip to Las Vegas. After the meeting, they boarded a jet back.

Inside his private jet, Leon decided to call Gem but she wasn’t picking up her calls. He was worried. He called again and the call connected.

"Do you want me to get a heart attack? why weren’t you answering your phone?" he asked.

"uhmm…. Sorry sir… ma’am left her phone at home." A maid answered.

"Where did she go? it’s still early in the day…..?"

"She went shopping with the old Mrs."

    I looked at Leon, for some reason I just missed him. I wanted to hug him tightly to my body, but I could only smile dryly and lower my head."Kitten….are you okay? Is something bothering you?" he caressed my cheeks and made me look at him, "I will do anything for you, all you have to do is ask." he said."Where is Fin? Where is Noah? Kelvin too, and my sister?" I asked.Leon's face darkened. "You don’t have to know.""But you said……" I swallowed my word as I saw his face."Gem your sister is in the custody, Noah is receiving punishment for his stupidity…. Kelvin should be out of the country by now…. and for that bastard.""You didn’t kill him did you?" I asked and he smirk."No, he should be somewhere with beggars by now," he said."There is a lot I don’t know about you, My husband," I said."All you have to know is that I'm your husband and you’re my wife…." He said and kissed my head. Leon was happy that Gem didn’t know ruthless he is, and how everyone fears him."Hubby, I'm hungry,

    ******Ryan got back to his senses, why was he so angry that Gem refused to follow him, and who were those girls guiding her? Is it true what Jolene told him that Gem sells her body to old men?.He looked at his men."Find out who she’s with…." He said."Yes sir."The five girls watched as Gem cried in the car. She was crying so bad. Her face was red and her wrist was hurt."Madam?" one of them called."I'm fine…I'm fine." I said, knowing they were worried."Do you want to go to the hospital?" She asked again."I'm fine….d…don’t worry," I said.We got home and I rushed 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."I'm fine….Leon….h…he’s not picking up my calls nor replying to my messages, I'm sure you can contact him."

I know you can’t let go of me…. so I’ve decided to let us have a break.""Gem no….. I don’t want to leave you…." He said as tears gather in his eyes."Then, why the hell are you still keeping her close? You still love her!""I don’t!""You love her!" I yelled."I said I don’t…… I swear, what I feel for you is special ….. I can’t explain…love, I love you too much, just too much that it’s killing me…… Gem…Rose…. she’s just someone I owe my life to….she saved my life years ago….""Leon……""Gem, let’s go home," he said holding me."I am home….and I'm not going anywhere with you!."

    "Ok….fine….why don’t you do the shopping for me, I'm so exhausted, hubby," I said, knowing that there was no way he would go around picking girls' clothes, I mean he was Mavis Leonel the great. I was smiling inside me."You want me to pick out all your outfits?" he asked smirking."Yes, of course. Why not? Or are you embarrassed that it will ruin your reputation? The Almighty Leonel Mavis." I said laughing."As a matter of fact no….you’re my wife, aren’t you, there is nothing wrong in buying clothes for you, and oh, did I tell you that I'm good at selecting female underwear as well?" he asked and my eyes wide open as my jaw drop."W….what did you say?"

    We lie on the bed panting. Leon kept on kissing my hair."Leon….can I ask you something?" I asked"Little kitten, it’s 2 o’clock in the morning, what is it?""Have you done this before….with your ex?" I asked and I could feel his uncomfortable movement."Gem, we should stop talking about Rose," he said and I was quiet and sad. He didn’t answer me again."Yes….I’ve done it with her countless times….but I wasn’t her first, she was not a virgin." he said."Leon, let’s play a game," I said."Let’s just rest….. tomorrow," he said and tightened his hug."I just want to know you more…….Leon….. Leonel?" I could hear his even breathing. He was asleep already. I guess I’ll ask him tomorrow then/.I woke up the next day I found the other space in the bed empty and cold. I stood up and looked around only to find blood on the bedsheet. I stood up and took the sheet off. I couldn’t believe I just lost my virginity….. that’s when it hit me.

    "Hi, Mr Leonel," she said."I thought I already made it clear to you…….""I know, I'm here because your business partner sent me….so we’ll be seeing each other more than expected," she said and dropped a file on my table. She raised her hand, showing him the ring, he gave her two years ago."I will never give up Leonel…never… you’re mine," she said and left the room.I watched her leave. I didn’t know how I felt but I knew I was no match for Rose. Seeing Leon coming back to the room I ran back to the bed pretending to be asleep. Leon came and lay 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 looked around the dark room. Oh, I remembered I was in Leon’s room.I walked 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 at the screen. Leon turned around and gav

    I broke the kiss."I have to go or I’ll be late!" I said."Ok, the keys are in here." He said pointing inside his pants."Mr Leonel Mavis you’ve got to be kidding me." I rolled my eyes. "There is no way I'm putting my hands in there!" I said but he kept on smiling because he knows I had no choice." You’re seriously going to regret this!" I said and began to lose his belt. "Gosh, you’re sure a pervert!" I frowned as I dipped my hands into his pants, and he groaned. My hands touched his (whatsoever), and it was hard…. Already? I was about to withdraw my hands but he held them firm."Are you crazy! let go you pervert!" I yelled and he stole a kiss from me and brought the keys out of his pocket. I was about to grab it but he used his height as an advantage."Hey kitten, kitten…. Don’t be in a hurry, you can use my helicopter, you won’t be late.""No thank you Mr Leonel but I don’t want to create attention at work, so, please…. Please…..give it to me." I said.
