BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144 - ADD
Ella couldn’t stop blaming herself for the incident that took place in the mall.
“If only I had left work and gone straight home,” she kept stroking herself.
“Don’t say that babe,” Leon tried to reassure her. “Those assassins followed you from the office to the mall. If you had unknowingly led them home, things would have been worse,” he said in a soothing tone.
Leon kept Ella company for a while until he was certain that she was calm. When he noticed a spike in her body temperature and her sudden weakness, he called in the doctor to attend to her.
“Dr. Julie, please ensure that there are no broken ribs or internal bleeding in my wife’s body. I want a minute-by-minute report on her progress.”
“Okay, Mr. Leon,” the doctor nodded and smiled. “I will do a thorough check on her and get back to you. All she needs now are a few medications and some rest.”
“No problem, I’ll give her some space so that she can rest.”
Leon turned his attention to Ella and spoke softly to her; “babe, I have to go handle some urgent business at the warehouse. I’ll be back shortly.”
“Leon, what about my other two bodyguards, did they survive the attack?” Ella asked as the memory of her dead bodyguard flashed in her mind. It hurt her so much that she was the reason why he was killed.
.....
“Don’t worry about that babe.” Leon bent over and kissed her forehead. “All I want from you now is to get better. I will take care of everything. When Dr. Julie certifies you are okay, then I will tell you anything you would like to know.
“Okay!” Ella nodded weakly as Leon planted a kiss on her lips before he left the room.
Immediately after Leon left the room, Ella beckoned for the doctor to come closer. Her lips quivered as she spoke in a hushed voice, with teary eyes.
“Doctor Julie, is my baby safe? Am I still pregnant?” Tears slowly flowed down Ella’s cheek. “I don’t know what will become of me if I ever lose this pregnancy!”
“Calm down, Ella!” Dr. Julie gently stroked her hair and also noticed her burning forehead. “Your baby will be fine as long as you stop worrying.” You’re currently burning up and we have to arrest that temperature spike before it gets out of hand. All I need from you is to relax and trust me.”
“Okay,” Ella sniffed quietly. “Dr. Julie,” Ella’s eyes suddenly lit up in a panic, “I hope you didn’t tell Leon anything about the...”
“Of course, I didn’t!” Dr. Julie chuckled due to Ella’s anxious stares. “I made a promise to you, remember.”
“Yes, I remember!” Ella said in a relaxed tone and smiled. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome, my dear. “Now relax, please!” Dr. Julie smiled and quickly got to work.
—————
Leon was eager to get to Bronx city to meet the people responsible for his wife’s condition. So, in other to get there on time, he decided to travel by air in his private jet.
All through the twenty-five minutes flight to Bronx city, Leon was constantly on his phone. He was given update after update on everything concerning Ella’s attackers and the mess he left back at country X, for his men and Uncle to clean up.
From the conversations that Leon had, he got to discover that Rodriguez Sacramento was responsible for the two attempts on his life. As if Rodriguez’s cup wasn’t already full and flowing, Leon also discovered that he was responsible for the attack on Ella’s life.
“Oh, the things I’m going to do to this man,” Leon eyes balls darkened and a petrifying glint flashed across them.
“I’m going to hunt him so bad that his mama would wish she had kept her legs closed.”
Immediately Leon’s private jet touched down he jumped out of the plane looking like a Dark Knight on a deadly mission. He quickly got into the black tainted SUV that was already on standby and the car zoomed up.
When Leon finally got to the warehouse, he was met by a partially tortured male and female, who were awaiting a death sentence from his hand.
“Sky, have you gotten every last piece of information from them?” Leon asked as he deftly took off his shirt.
“Yes, boss! We’ve gotten every last verified information from both of them. They are of no use to us,” Sky said with a devilish grin planted on his face.
“Good!”
Leon carefully wore a pair of sharp tiger claw knuckle ring punchers on both of his hands and entered the room where both prisoners were kept chained together.
Both Scorpion and his female partner were looking like a pair of unfortunate fellows who had gone into a lioness cage unprotected, to steal her cub.
“Sky, set them free,” Leon commanded in a chilly tone. “Give each of them a dagger. I want to have some fun with them as they fight for their lives.”
“Okay, boss!” Sky replied excitedly and swung into action.
Both Scorpion and his female partner were set free to roam around the room and each of them was given a claw-like dagger.
“You miscreants have been given the opportunity to save your life,” Leon glared ferociously at them like a hungry tiger. “Whoever can stab me with the dagger, will be set free. You’ve been given my word, so let’s have some fun.”
Leon moved around the room with a devilish fire in his eyes. He beckoned on them to come forward and when they hesitated out of fear, he charged towards them. He easily disarmed them first like a martial art master, with multiple stab wounds from his sharp tiger claw knuckle puncher. Then, he continuously released deadly blows into each of them, consecutively until both their badly disfigured and lifeless body slumped on the floor.
Each punch from Leon’s deadly weapon left a deep, horrendous, and bloodied hole in each victim’s body. The messy-looking scars were like those imprinted by a hungry tiger shark, that has bitten its victim, from head to toe.
When Leon’s fury was finally sated, he instructed Sky that the bodies of the two assassins should be pulverized, burnt, and the ashes sent to their boss.
After Leon had cleaned himself up and changed his clothes, he made arrangements for a retaliation attack on Rodriguez’s family.
