I woke up the next day feeling tired. I turned and saw Leon sleeping beside me. His handsome face was asking for my touch. I caressed his face and he frowned and opened his eyes. I quickly withdrew my hands and close my eyes."You know we can pretend to be asleep all day long," he said, holding my waist close to himself. Then I noticed something... I was naked."Ahhhhhh, you pervert!" I yelled and pushed him off the bed. He fell flat on the floor."Ouch, what was that for?""You….. you….. close your eyes…. don’t look!" I yelled. Leon looked at Gem, she was like a terrified kitten…. so cute. He chuckled."No need to cover it…. I’ve seen more than enough last night….. don’t you remember….. you were begging me to……""Don’t say it, don’t!" I yelled."To….. ""Shut up ……" I yelled.His phone rang."Hello." his serious look came back"….. I’ll take it now," he said and walk towards the door…. that was when I realized….I was in a hotel room "Shit." I cursed as I quickly grabbed a big shirt fr
******Jolene was already on the set. Immediately she saw Leon walk in with Gem, she adjusted her dress and walked up to them."Gem, Gem….. look you’re almost late….. I want your help let’s practice this scene together before the director arrives." She said and I made a face full of disgust."Get lost," I said and Leon looked at me in surprise."Miss Gem, you don’t have to be so harsh," he said."And who gave you the right to talk in my affair? Remember you’re just my bodyguard!" she yelled in anger and walk away. Jolene put on a sad and disappointing face."She hates me," she murmured and started crying. Leon hold her shoulders and said, "It’s okay I’ll talk to her.""No, it’s okay, Mr Leon. I deserve it. I was mean to her it’s fine." She said and walked away.Leon was angry and disappointed in me.After the scene, Ruth and I entered Leon’s car."Leon, can we stop at the French restaurant to eat?" I said."I'm not your personal driver. I'm just your bodyguard……." He said."Don’t tell
****Leon was in his private jet. He had a lot on his mind. It’s been three years since he last visited home. Back then his family never agreed to his relationship with Rosemary. He loved her so much that he chose her over his family wealth. Leon was really stubborn and a hard nut to crack. After he left his family, he started a new business which was a big success after a year. His grandfather later handed him the J corps guards industry…. since then he ran two businesses. After his grandfather passed away Leon became close to his grandmother.The memory-filled his head. Thinking about it made him dark and gloomy. Leon hated being with his family…. Being back home…. back to that house he left for good… back to that family he left for good.He sighed and took a deep breath as his jet landed on the rooftop of the Mavis mansion.Leon was not happy…..anger was flashing on his face as his cold look threw daggers at everyone’s heart.He entered the house."Little brother." Anthony, the eld
******I woke up the next morning, I took my phone and behold the call was still on."Huh?....did he forget to end the call?" I said about to end the call when I heard from the other line."Kitten…. You’re awake?" Leon asked."Leon?.... Did you forget to end the call?" I asked."Silly, I didn’t.""It’s a 10 hours 45 minutes call! do…. do you know how much you’ve just exhausted….. like my whole salary….. are you crazy!" I yelled.I heard him laugh at the phone and said "I just miss you too much….. when I get back I’ll tell you something.""When will you be back?" I asked."I won’t tell you…. I'm going to surprise you….." he said."Can you get something for me when you’re coming back…" I said."What would my rare Gem want…. you know I can give you the world," he said and I laughed."Dream on Leon….. you’re not Leonel Mavis….. only he has the power to do so," I said."This Leonel Mavis…. you seem to have a crush on him," Leon said."Don’t be jealous okay? even though I don’t know him in
Leon was stunned as Rosemary tried to deepen the kiss. He kissed her back but suddenly he remembered Gem."Rose, I can’t," he said."Leonel…..why?....I'm back now…… look I know you’re angry that I left without telling you…. I was afraid you won’t let me go….""Rose, I can’t hold you back from your dreams…. if you had told me then I’d have let you go……""Let’s forget that, Leonel. I'm back now and that's all matters…….""Rose, we can’t go on.""Leonel, everything I did was for you. I sacrificed my love for you…. I travelled to the US to study so that I can support you in your business……a five years course…..I finished in two years….. I studied day and night…. I wanted to be useful to you…. I hate it when I sit back and watch you stress yourself because of me….. Leonel can’t you see…… I did it for you… for us." she cried bitterly. Leon saw her pain but his heart was no longer with her….. it’s been taken by Gem, his little kitten."I have to go," he said."Is it because of that girl…. oh
I walked up and down the big corridor. We had been trying to reach Leonel ever since he ended my call but he wasn’t picking up."Madam, calm down….. Sir is fine," she said."Mrs...?""Call me Susan," she said."Tell me the truth…… about Leon….. and Kelvin….""Madam….I'm sorry but I can’t tell you anything…. Is he your husband?" she said. I was starting to become afraid of Leon. I’ve heard that Mavis had a torture house. I’ve heard he kills people."Leon…… I mean Leonel…. is it…. is it true he………""Kitten….. I'm home….." Leon's voice made me shocked. "Are you okay?" he said and walked down to me. I couldn’t hold his gaze and I lowered my head."Y…you’re…. you’re here?" I said. His hands were about to touch me but I moved backwards."Kitten, are you okay?""Y…yes, I'm fine.""No, you’re not…. why are you behaving like this…..? Did I do something wrong? Are you mad at me?" he asked."I have to rest….. goodnight," I said and walked into one of the big rooms and shut the door."Kitten…..
Leon dragged back and we both began to pant for air."Kitten, calm down, that’s Rose's grandmother… she- -she played an important part in my life. I won’t dare hurt her.""So…so you’re going to date her again?" I said."No….I'm married now…. I don’t want to be a cheating husband…..I love you, Gem….I’d never do anything to hurt you…..if you want, I’ll tell the world tomorrow morning that you’re my wife…..""No …. no you can’t do that….our marriage should be secret," I said."I know….so don’t feel like I'm hiding you from the world….." he said"I don’t know what to believe anymore," I said. He put his head on mine and his hot breath hit my face."Believe me.""Leonel…….." the door opened and it was Rose….I wanted to push Leon away but he pinned me down."Don’t you know how to knock?" he said. His voice was calm but carried a hint of anger."Oh….I'm..I'm sorry….I….I’ll leave…..""No, it’s okay…..I’ll leave you two to talk," I said but Leon won’t get off me."Rose, wait outside, please….I
Rose looked a Kelvin and rolled her eyes."Please, Rose let go of Leonel.""Never!" she yelled."We both know you don’t love him, you’re only clinging to him because of his wealth….""That was then….. I really love him now…. so much." she cried."He’s with Gem now….. I was in his torture house," he said."What? how….how did you….. get out…. Wait…are you a ghost!" she said."Fuck off….I'm here….I'm alive because Gem told him to let me go!""What? hahaha….. don’t be silly…we both know Leon listens to know no one. Not even his grandmother" she said."Rose it’s true….I’ve seen the way he looks at her…. Even his looks carry care and look. He looks at her like love and affects…….""ENOUGH! I’ll make her leave…. I’ll get Leon back. Just watch me…… watch me." she said and walked away.We were preparing for our next scene when Jolene came and grabbed my hands."Gem…. hi.""Jolene?" I was surprised"Oh, your bodyguard is not here?""No, he’s not," I said."Well….. Uhmm…. I need your help," she
"Grandma, great-grandma!" Liam yelled and ran to hug them."Wow, You’re becoming more handsome, Liam!" Grandma said."No, I don’t want to be handsome. I want to be cute…. mommy love cute more!" He said smiling."Speaking of your mother… where is she?" Great-grandma asked."Mommy left with Daddy….. they just left….. didn’t you see them on your way?" He asked."Yes, we did""Grandma, take me to mommy! They are taking too long to come back." Liam cried."Liam, it’s only been an hour….be…""No, no….. I want to call daddy" He pouted. This child was really stubborn."You can’t disturb your parents!""They are my parents, not yours…. so you don’t tell me what to do with my parents!" He yelled. How rude."You’re being rude, Liam." said, great-grandma."How am I rude? Great-grandma…. grandma was being annoying…… my parents didn’t even leave home with the bodyguards…… I heard Uncle Noah telling mommy it could be dangerous….take me to mommy… I want to protect her!" He yelled like a king giving o
"Liam, stop asking so many questions…..""Daddy, you have to forgive mommy!" He suddenly raised his voice."Liam, are you sure you're two years old?.... because right now I'm like your son and you’re my father," Leon said."Uhmm….." Leon heard Gem groan.Their noise woke me up."Mommy, you’re awake!" Liam yelled, he was about to bounce on me but Leon grabbed him."Careful, don’t hurt your mother, she’s still unwell." He said.Leon watched Liam and Gem chatting…..can’t the little kid just sleep or go outside and play. He was becoming a disaster."Uhmm….Liam, mommy is thirsty…go get her some water." He said."Why should I? Send the maids." Liam said."Liam….don’t be disobedient…go get me a glass of water and make sure you’re the one to get it and not the maids," I said and he frowned pouting his lips.He glared at Leon and said, "don’t bully mommy……I’ll be right back!" He said and Leon rolled his eyes.The room was quiet."I'm sorry…." I said."For?""Everything….Leon, I won’t expect yo
"Liam….baby….come on……""I don’t want you to hate me.""I don’t hate you!" I yelled."Liam, let’s go inside." The nanny took Liam away. I wanted to go after her but…. what right did I have. The warmth I was feeling melted away and I felt cold and alone.Nanny put Liam down on his bed."Why did you take me away from mommy? I'm going back to her!" He said wiping his face but the nanny dragged Liam back and slapped the little boy. He fell to the floor crying and holding his red cheek."Your mommy is going to die… grandma will kill her…..so you must tell her to leave…..do you want your mommy to die?""No…..n….n…o." he cried."Then tell her to go…..if she stays by your side you shall die…..now if your dad asked who hit you…tell him it was mommy!""No…that’s a big fat lie!" Liam yelled."Do you want your mommy to die?""No….""Then do as I say okay? Trust nanny!""I hate you!"I stood by the kitchen when my phone rang."Hello, boss (uncle).""Jolene, how could you?""What’s going on?""Sash
Sasha opened her eyes and saw that she was in a dark room full of chains and torture weapons."Noah…… Noah….. show yourself, you idiot….how dare you….how dare you do this to me….!" She yelled and struggled."Hey….girly…calm down….Noah is not here." the man was scary…he was holding an injection in his hands. He smiled and his black teeth were more frightening."Call me, Noah!" She yelled."Like I said…… Noah is not here….he gave me a little message for you……he said…Sasha…I know you won’t confess easily…so I don’t want to waste my time on you….. you’ll be tortured and get pain more than death itself….until you’re willing to confess then….I’ll show up….""Noah!" She said."Shhh, little Miss….do you know what I'm holding? If I inject this into your system even a tickle will hurt like hell…..now be good," he said and injected Sasha who was crying and screaming.Noah entered the room."Uncle Noah…." Liam ran and hugged him. The nurses had removed his IV drip a few hours ago."How’s my smar
The closer I walked to Leon, the heavier my steps became."See! I'm not lying!"……..I quickly pulled him down…..I didn’t know what to do….I wish the ground would just open up and swallow me. My eyes met Leonel…..his reaction, his emotions, I couldn’t read them."Gem…..Gem….it’s….it’s really you!" Ruth said."I…..I….." I didn’t know what to say and Liam hugged my legs smiling."Daddy…..I found mommy….let’s take her home." he pouted. Leon didn’t take his eyes off me. The way he looked at me sent fear and shiver into my veins. "Daddy I want to take mommy home, please…..daddy? Daddy?" Liam kept on calling.The car was silent. Liam clung to me like glue. "Mommy, you won't leave me again, right?" The question stabbed my heart like a sharp dagger. I blinked endlessly so as not to cry."I'm sorry!" I managed to say."Mommy, I don’t want you to leave….Daddy too." He said and my eyes met Leon. He was just plain."Liam….." I called him and hugged him. I tried and tried not to cry but it was no us
The little boy glared at the men in front of him."Ohh….who are you glaring at… little boy?” The man asked."Why do you kidnap me?” He asked out of the blue. Earlier, Liam went into the bathroom, and after doing his business, a man dragged his hands and blindfolded him. When the blindfold was removed, he found himself in an undefined area."Well….well…well…..isn’t your daddy, a rich guy? We need his money…..” They burst into laughter and Liam's face darkened."You don’t know whose son you’re messing with!” He said."This little thing…..if you don’t shut your mouth, I’ll shut it for you….now give us your dad’s number!” He yelled."I don’t know it,” Liam said."What……? What child doesn’t know his parent's number?”"Me!” Liam answered. "I'm just 2 years old….how do you expect me to know my parent's number…?” He asked folding his hands on his chest."You better start talking before I lose my temper!”"I don’t have to talk to you….. you can talk to my dad’s men when they show up…or my Uncl
Sasha pushed the stretcher towards the elevator."I'm sorry, Gem but I can’t watch them hurt you……" She said."Sasha……let’s go….." They carried her into the car and zoomed off.The car soon arrived at the seaport. They boarded a ship.Leon didn’t know what to do to convince grandma. He had the video of Gem’s father but that was not enough evidence to prove he didn’t try to murder his grandfather."Leon…..son…….where is Gem?" Mother asked."What, I left her in her room…..she must be…..""She’s not there……!" She yelled."Mom, please I'm not in the mood for pranks……" Leon said, he finally stood up and walked to the room.The room was empty. He frowned. He walked to the baby in the incubator and caressed the glass.Leon walked into the bathroom, sitting room…..all was empty…..he began to panic…Noah ran in."I can’t find Sasha, her bodyguard too……" He said."What!.... Tell the men to search every ward in the hospital. You, go check the CCTV footage…..I’ll go meet Grandma!""Leon, be caref
She was finally asleep. Leon sighed and lay her down.Weeks passed, and it was now the seventh month of my pregnancy."You…..you’re leaving…..?" I broke down in tears as Leon broke the news to me."Kitten remember the thing I couldn’t tell you? Well, I want to fix it so I can tell you…." He said. Noah had messaged Leon that something wasn’t right….. Gem’s father could not be the person who had tried to kill his grandfather. He wasn’t sure but something wasn’t right. Leon wanted to figure things out."How long will you be gone?" I asked."Not sure, but I’ll try to be back before the baby is born!""Leon, it’s just two months left," I said."I know, I promise I’ll be there with you….don’t be scared…." He said."Okay, but…. you’ll call right……you’ll have to call me.""Gem…..I won’t be able to call you…. I ….I don’t need any distraction, I have to focus." he said, tears falling endlessly from my eyes, "please don’t cry.""Leon, you’re leaving me…how can I not cry….are you tired of me?....
Ruth was living her life as she was now a manager for a new actress. She missed Gem a lot….she wonder if she was okay….she would have called but she was scared….she felt guilty for all the things that happened to her….she couldn’t protect her."Miss Ruth!" Noah called. Noah knew he needed a partner, someone he could trust.Noah told her everything about Gem’s identity."What….! Does…..does Leon knows?" She asked"Yes…..he’s willing to protect her and make sure the information doesn’t leak….." Noah said "but I know the old Mrs. will find out soon….she has been looking for Jolene the daughter of Hardin….she wants to end the family bloodline……she hates that family….. Grandma is a devil…..she’s evil and she’s willing to do anything to kill the Hardin’s daughter if she finds her……""What can I do then?" Ruth asked."I want you to be close to Jolene….go become her manager…..do anything to make her trust you….." Noah said."No way! I hate her!" She yelled."This is for Gem! Fine….let’s just
