Leon and Ella boarded the international flight back to Amzone city early the next morning. All through the flight, they were engulfed in each other, chatting and laughing warmly.

After ten hours of being in the air, their airplane touched down at Amzone international airport.

Some few days back, before Leon left for the island, He pre-informed John, to be at the airport by 3:00 PM on the day of his supposed arrival.

As Leon and Ella ambled along the arrival terminal, he brought out his phone and switched it on. Immediately the phone came on, it started beeping with numerous backlog messages. As he was about to view a message from Tom, his call came in.

“Bruh, turning off your phone was a terrible idea! There is trouble in paradise!” Tom said impatiently as Leon picked up his call.

“Calm down Tom! Tell me what’s up,” Leon spoke in a relaxed tone.

Leon had been this way since the previous night. Ella gave him a sexual satisfaction that he never dreamt of having in a hundred years. And since then, he had been glued to her like bees to nectar.

.....

“Your mum and sisters are currently at your house, while Ella’s mum and a host of others are at the hospital. Ella’s mum suffered a minor heart attack due to your undisclosed marriage.”

Tom dropped the bombshell without beating around the bush. He wanted Leon to act swiftly and smartly, before leaving the airport.

The blood drained from Leon’s face and his eyes turned frosty.

“Thanks, Tom, I’ll talk to you later.” Leon ended the call and turned his attention to an anxious Ella.

“Ella, we have to...” He was interrupted by someone screaming Ella’s name.

“Ella!” Denise ran towards her, panting with John tagging along.

“Oh, Ella! There is...”

“Denise! Stop right there!” Leon rebuked Denise with an icy cold glare.

“You and John can wait for us in the car. I’ll speak to my wife first!” Leon handed over their luggage to John and dismissed them.

“Alright, Mr. Leon. No need to glare at me. Save it for the right people, because you’re going to need it.” Denise pouted angrily before leaving.

Denise was stunned at Leon’s reaction. Could it be that Tom had spoken to him? She didn’t have the patience to think as she quickly put a call across to Tom.

“Leon, you are scaring me! What is the problem? Did something happen at your office or my new company?” Ella’s body trembled within.

“Let’s sit somewhere and talk briefly,” Leon spoke softly to her. Although, he was inwardly aggrieved at the trauma Ella was about to witness.

Leon led her to the airport cafeteria, and they sat down in a secluded spot.

“Ella, what I’m going to tell you now would hurt, but as my wife, we are going to walk through it together. Okay?” Leon tried his best to remain calm while he spoke.

“Leon, just say it! You’re frightening me!” Ella’s hands started trembling and her heart throbbed with dreadful thoughts.

Leon took her trembling hands into his and tenderly gazed into her eyes. “Your mum is at the hospital here in Amzone city and she is aware of our marriage.”

“What!” Ella half screamed as she pulled her hands from his hold and stood up abruptly.

“That can’t be! I never informed her! Oh, Leon, this is bad! N...o, it’s worse than bad! It’s...it’s horrendous,” she paced around looking horrified and disoriented.

Leon stood up and pulled her into his arms. He stroked her hair gently to calm her down. “Take a deep breath and let’s go see your mum.”

They were inside the car and on their way to the hospital when Ella’s phone rang.

“Ella! Where have you been? Are you aware you mum...” Susan’s impatient and irritated voice was cut off by Ella

“I’m on my way to the hospital.” Ella quickly ended the call for fear of receiving more disheartening news.

If only Ella knew Susan’s plans of making the situation worsen for her, she wouldn’t have taken the call.

Susan went round, announcing Ella’s arrival in a dramatic way that made Abigail scowl at her.

“You know, Ella is still our friend. We should have her interest as our top priority. What you’re doing is putting her in more jeopardy than she already is.” Abigail scolded Susan.

“Excuse me! Speak for yourself! The day I discovered that she lied to us about Leon was the day my loyalty to her ended.” Susan sneered and walked away.

Several aggrieved parties waited patiently at the hospital as they got wind of Ella’s arrival, thanks to Susan.

When Leon and Ella made it to the hospital entrance, they were approached by Abigail.

Abigail ran into Ella’s arms and hugged her squishingly. She complimented Ella’s new glow and congratulated her and Leon grudgingly on their marriage.

“I never knew that I was such an awful and lousy friend to warrant this bad treatment from you.” Abigail pouted.

“Abby, you are...” Ella was cut her off.

“We will discuss that later. Currently, there is a much bigger fish to fry. Thanks to Susan, Everyone is expecting you at the waiting hall close to Maggie’s private ward.”

“What do you mean by everyone?” Ella quizzed her apprehensively as they walked towards Maggie’s ward.

“Olivia, Richard, Uncle Moses, Susan, and Aunt Edna; who flew in yesterday.”

Ella was about to say something when Olivia came running into her arms, crying.

“Mum knows about the marriage, she whispered into Ella’s ears, while she pressed Leon’s arm gently.”

“I was told, Ella whispered back sobbing gently.”

“Go easy on her, mum’s heart is weak,” Abigail whispered again, as she pulled away from Ella’s arms.

Richard caught sight of the couple as they approached Maggie’s room. Without thinking, he charged toward them menacingly like a raging furious bull. His behavior scared the living hell out of Ella and she swiftly took sanctuary in Leon’s arms.

“How dare you, Ella? Choosing a stranger over your family!” Richard advanced closer with a clenched fist as rage and frustration blinded him.

He hadn’t expected Ella to show up with Leon.

Leon’s arms around Ella made Richard go insane. He lost it completely as he planned to teach Leon a lesson for stealing his woman.

Big mistake!

It had been a torturously long wait for Ella to return from her honeymoon vacation. Because of Ella, Richard had foolishly taken the atrocious Susan to bed. Susan on the other hand made his life simply unbearable, for the short duration of time they spent together at Springchad. It was from one idiotic demand after another. Though she claimed to have deleted the sex video, he was certain she had copies stashed away for future use.

“How dare you bring...” Richard’s words trailed.

POW!

Richard was sent staggering backward. He almost lost his balance but thankfully, Uncle Moses caught him from behind. Blood oozed from his nose. His lower lips was cut. He looked up in horror only to meet the glare of the devil himself.

Leon’s haunted eyes and puffed-up muscles gave him the demeanor of a monstrous being.

Ella was the only beauty around that could tame her beast.

“You will learn to watch your repulsive tongue in the presence of my wife,” Leon boomed in a deep frightening voice.

Without giving a second glance to Richard and the concerned friends; who have gathered at the scene, Leon gently led Ella into Maggie’s ward.

Maggie sat up, stretching her neck. She wanted to know the reason behind the commotion outside her room when Ella and Leon stepped in holding hands. While Olivia followed behind them.

Olivia didn’t seem perturbed at Richard’s state. She had never liked Richard for her sister. She didn’t understand why her mum was taken by him.

Olivia was happy Leon had punched him. She had been daydreaming of doing this for a while. She couldn’t imagine Richard was jealous of Ella when something was clearly happening between Susan and him.

Maggie was riled up at the sight of Ella holding hands with Leon. Her eyes reddened and her mouth twitched with bitterness

Ella advanced forward, apologizing for everything she had caused her mum. But instead, she was greeted by a hot resounding slap. The slap stung her cheek so bad that it made her burst into tears.

“Mum!” Olivia frowned at this. ” Did you have to?”

Leon was irked by Maggie’s attitude towards Ella. His icy cold piercing glares were threatening. The only luck Maggie had was because she was Ella’s mum. Because she had just touched the devil’s right eyes.

“Don’t you dare do that again Maggie!” Leon warned calmly. But his ferocious glares sent chills down Maggie’s spine.

Maggie burst out crying and Olivia tried to console her.

“Mum, I’m so sorry,” Ella said sobbing. She felt dejected and lonely.

Leon couldn’t stand Ella’s tears. He was so furious that he wanted to punish someone for the pain Ella felt now.

“Ella, let’s leave before I do something I’ll regret! You know I can’t stand your tears.” Leon didn’t care about his selfish demand. As long as it concerns his one and true love, he would bring the heaven down to make her happy.

“Leon, please I need to talk to my mum in private.” Ella wiped the tears off her eyes as she looked at Leon pleadingly.

Leon hesitated for a while but finally and grudgingly agreeing to her demands.

“Five minutes! Nothing more than that!” He angrily walked out of the ward.

“So this is what you have been doing in this God-forsaken city?” Her mum suddenly found her voice in Leon’s absence. “Frolicking with your so-called business partner.” Maggie stifled a sob. “You lie to me like I’m nothing but a worthless piece of rag.”

“N...no! I’m so sorry!” Ella couldn’t stop the tears from running down her cheeks. Her mum’s words were like a thousand acupuncture needles piercing her soul.

“Maybe you prefer me dead, after all, your father left me all alone to suffer at your cruel hands.” Maggie started crying bitterly

Ella’s tears increased at the mention of her beloved father.

“Mum, that is deep. Don’t speak to her that way,” Olivia tried to protect her sister.

.....

“You want to join her too and finish me off?” Maggie turned her head to glare at Olivia.

“Come on, mum! Don’t sound that way!” Olivia soothed her.

Maggie returned her gaze to a broken Ella with a hollow stare.

“You have one week to divorce Leon or you cease to be my daughter.”
