“Wait up! Leon kept calling after Ella; whose face was red and flushed with a lot of emotions.

“Catch me if you can!” She excitedly screamed back at him, as she ran up the stairs and into their bedroom. Before she had time to shut the door, Leon deftly moved in and caught her by the waist before shutting the door.

“Where do you think you are running to, huh?” He tickled her on her side, causing her to almost choke with laughter.

“Time out! Time out!!” Ella said breathlessly while laying on the floor with eyes watery and sparkling. She was still giggling from all the euphoria that she didn’t notice Leon staring deeply at her.

“You glow like the stars, my love,” Leon’s eyes beamed with longing. “I can’t imagine life without you in it. It will always be just the two of us until eternity.”

“What if a junior Leon Treshvire comes along?” Ella unconsciously blurted out her worry. However, the sudden withdrawal and coldness she observed in Leon dampened her soul.

“Ella,” Leon sat up and made her do the same. “I can’t stress this clearly enough. I don’t ever want a child. I could manage a wife perfectly but never a child.”

“What if I want one?” Ella pushed on. Inwardly she was greatly depressed and scared due to Leon’s resolve.

.....

“I thought we had an agreement? Where is all this coming from?” Leon looked quizzically at her.

“Yes we did, but...” She stood up and walked away from Leon for fear that he might see right through her. “I thought you would change your mind someday. I...I thought that if I desperately wanted one, you would allow me to have it.” She quickly wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheek.

Leon stood up and walked up to her. He held her on the waist from behind and kissed her head.

“Sweetheart, you know how this whole relationship between us began,” Leon spoke calmly. “I never wanted to get married or have children just like my uncle. However, when I met you, my whole world changed. I fell hopelessly in love with you and I decided to make room for only you in my heart. Let’s not talk about this subject ever again. As you can see, it’s ruining our moments together.

Leon slowly turned her to face him. “Sweetheart... What! Are you crying? Leon was perplexed by Ella’s drastic change in mood. He could see the hurt and defeat in her eyes.

“I thought you were okay with this arrangement from the beginning?” Leon frowned. “It was...”

“Shhh!” Ella placed her finger on his lips. “I love you so much, Leon Treshvire,” Ella said in a hushed voice and leaned forward for a kiss.

Leon gazed at her shut eyes and wondered why she was acting so emotional. He wanted to probe further but he knew talking about the same topic would only infuriate him. So he decided to drop the topic and continue from where they left off in the car.

He cupped her face, wiped her tears with his thumb, and kissed her lips tenderly. In a few moments, their worries, anger, and frustration melted away and were replaced with soft moaning and panting.

When Leon was certain that Ella had fallen asleep after their intense lovemaking. He gently slid out of the bed, took a cold shower, and left the bedroom for his home office.

While he was busy with some unfinished work from his office, he received a brief call from his uncle.

“Leon, I want you to take a break from the kill order you issued against Rodriguez’s children. From the information I gathered, three of his sons were murdered and things might get out of hand if you continue.” Maxwell warned.

“The stakeholders are rattled and everyone is scared that Rodriguez’s retaliation for the death of his children might take a drastic toll on them. I was reliably informed that he has contacted an old enemy, the Sorin gang leader; Marcus. I don’t want things to escalate especially as your father approaching death will surely awaken the sleeping dogs.”

“Hmm... Okay, Uncle Max. I will stop for now. However, if that madman makes a move on me or any member of my family again, I will bring down the gates of hell on him and Marcus.” Leon said in a chilly voice.

“I trust you nephew,” Maxwell chuckled. By the way, your Nana requested that I should come around. So I’ll be traveling to Islafub tomorrow. Send my regards to Ella.”

“I will,” Leon smirked and ended the call.

He sat back and thought about his father for a while. He was tempted to call him and find out how he was fairing but he was worried that his mum might be close by. He was still contemplating when he received a call from his mum.

“Leon, your dad...”

Marissa’s weak and broken voice conveyed only one message. She was finally aware of her husband’s sickness.

“Mum, are you alright?” Leon asked in a slightly trembling voice.

“No...” Marissa sniffed. “Your dad wants to leave me. He is leaving me...I...I...”

“Mum, stop! Please!” Leon’s eyes darkened and were filled with tears, as he listened to his mum’s continuous sobbing. “Do you want me to come over?”

“No... Your uncle... Your uncle will be coming around tomorrow. Your dad doesn’t want you... and your sisters to come around until... Until a week to his...”

Leon clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger. He felt the need to punch something as he listened to his mum’s shattered voice.

“Mum, go easy on yourself. I can’t afford to lose you too. Please.” Leon spoke in a gentle voice which was in contrast to his piqued expression. “Also, don’t say anything to Yvonne and Ivory. I will break the news to them myself.”

“Okay!” Marissa sobbed even harder as the call ended.

Leon stood up and paced up and down in his office.

“This is why I can never have kids.” He grunted in pain. “Isn’t it better to live alone in this world and die alone rather than leave broken hearts behind? First, I never got to see my grandfather and now my father is leaving us soon. Who would it be next? Maxwell, me!”

His emotions were suffocating him and he felt as though his heart was about to explode. Feeling almost stifled by his pain, he left his office and got into his home gym; where he indulge himself in strenuous weight lifting and other exercises.

After spending almost an hour in the gym, he returned to his bedroom feeling worse than before. He got into the bathroom and took a cold shower. When he came out of the bathroom, naked and still looking very frustrated. He took in a deep breath and scanned the room.

When his hunting eyes caught sight of Ella’s slightly nude body, he was instantly engulfed with an immense desire to unburden himself into her.

He walked over to the bed, peeled the duvet covering her warm body, and climbed on her.

The coldness of his nude body caused Ella to almost jump out of her skin.

“Leon!” She called in a sharp and frightened voice. “What are you doing?

In response to her call, Leon attacked her lips with wild kisses. His breath was heavy and labored as he locked tongues with her, biting and nibbling on her lips until they were swollen and sore.

“Leon, stop!” Ella’s voice came out in muffled sounds.

She tried to push him off her but the more she struggled, the more he mercilessly attacked her body. His eyes were dark and filled with rage. It was as though he had suddenly gone deaf to her cries as he forced himself into her and rode her fiercely.

“Leon, you are hurting me!” Ella cried out. “Stop this! Stop it now!”

At her sharp cry, Leon stopped and pulled himself out of her.

When he released her from his firm grip, Ella scurried his presence in fright. She dragged the bedsheet and covered herself while glaring at him.

Leon sat up and stared into her frightened and furious eyes.

“I’m sorry, my love!” He said panting. His body was covered in sweat as if he just finished a marathon and his darkened eyes were filled with sadness and humiliation. “I lost myself for a moment. I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”

Leon stood up and walked back into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and bowed his head, allowing the cold water to wash off his pain and tears.

Ella’s mind was filled with panic and shock. Her body was still trembling as she watched Leon disappear into the bathroom. She couldn’t fathom what had suddenly possessed her husband. It felt as though he had transformed into a beast. However, the pain she saw in his eyes was unmistakable. He was angry and hurt.

Even though her body felt a bit sore from his earlier attack, she shook off her fear and went into the bathroom.

“Leon!” She called him softly and approached him cautiously. “Are you alright?”

Leon shook his head but did not lift it up. He felt hurt and ashamed for what he had just done. “I’m sorry for hurting you.”
