A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

291 The First Request

Leon was about to spew angry words at Xia but was forced to hold back his tongue due to her defensive words.

“Miss Chu, I will call you later when I have information based on our discussion. In the meantime, you can go back to work.”

Leon’s emotionless and chilly words fell on Xia’s already weakened heart like frozen icicles, jabbing at her fragile heart without showing any mercy.

Even though she wanted to say something else, the dreaded look in his eyes made her simply say, “okay.”

Without sparing her one more glance, Leon stormed into his office and slammed the door shut.

“Would you like me to get you any other thing?” Lily asked mockingly while pretending to be working on her computer system.

“No!” Xia rose to her feet and shot Lily an ice-piercing stare before storming out of Lily’s office.

“Shameless tramp!” Lily hissed and continued with her work.

Inside Leon’s office, he kept on pacing up and down thinking of how to make his wife happy.

.....

Due to Ella’s love for sailing and adventure on the beautiful open sea, Leon sat down on his executive chair and started to make plans for a cruise ship ride.

He was in the middle of making arrangements for a VIP cruise ship ride when the long-awaited Paul’s call came in.

“Did she love the flowers?” Leon asked immediately after he receive the call.

“Umm... Actually...No!” Paul replied reluctantly.

Leon heaved a sigh of frustration as he racked his memory on what could be possibly eating Ella up.

“When you saw her, what was she doing? Is she still lying down and looking weak?”

“From my judgment, I would say she’s feeling much better and happier with madam Denise’s company.”

“Hmm... Okay, keep me updated.” Leon ended the call and tossed the phone aside. He wished there what’s a way he could travel into Ella’s heart and find out what was aching her so that he could mend it.

Feeling suffocated by so many conflicting thoughts, he picked up his phone and left for the hospital.

—————–

At about 6:00 PM of that same day, Ella was discharged from the hospital after strict counseling from the doctor.

She watched in disgust as Leon kept running around trying to do everything to make her happy.

Even though she didn’t want him around, she decided to allow him to be there for her to avoid any form of suspicion of her motives.

Leon on the other hand ensured that Tom took Denise away so that he could be there for his wife instead of her.

Although she spoke less to him, he was happy that she was no longer giving him the silent treatment.

On their way out of the hospital, Leon offered to carry Ella in his arms but she adamantly refused and requested a wheelchair.

Hence he was forced to push her in the wheelchair out of the hospital. On getting to the entrance of the hospital building, Ella completed the remaining distance to her car by walking on her own.

When she got to her car, John opened the passenger door for her to get in.

“Leon, if you don’t mind, I’d like to ride alone in the car,” Ella said calmly and shut the door without giving her husband a chance to reply.

Leon opened his mouth to say something but ended up closing it as he watched John start the engine of Ella’s car and drive away.

“Mr. Treshvire,” Austin, who had proactively driven and parked in front of his boss, opened up the passenger door and patiently waited for him to get in.

“Oh, thanks, Austin.” Leon snapped out of his temporal shock. “Quickly, follow John. I want to arrive at the same time as my wife, at the villa.”

“Okay, sir!” Austin shut the door and quickly moved over to the driver’s seat to get the car on the move.

In less than a few minutes of speedy driving, Austin caught up with Ella’s car, right before it entered the villa driveway.

When both couples finally alighted from their various cars, Leon briskly walked over to Ella and forcefully carried her into his arms.

“Babe, I don’t know where all this coldness is coming from but it has to stop before things get out of hand,” Leon said as he slowly took her into the house.

“I know I’ve not been a great husband by leaving you to be by yourself. However, I’m here for you now and I’m prepared to make changes as long as you’re happy.”

Ella, on the other hand, remained mute and allowed him to carry her to her bedroom. She did her best to mask her broken heart as she watched Leon do everything in his power to make sure she was comfortable.

With every passing second, Leon’s level of frustration heightened as Ella continued to give him the cold treatment again.

After a while, he got tired and decided to confront her.

“Ella, tell me my crime so that I can make amend. I know you are still angry that I wasn’t with you last night but I’m here for you now. So, talk to me. Tell me what you want me to do to make you happy. I can’t take the silent treatment from you any longer. I’m losing my shit, baby. Please!”

“I’m tired and I need to rest,” Ella whispered and shut her eyes to hide her pain. “Please, let’s talk tomorrow when I feel much better. Can you please just leave now because my head is beginning to ache?”

“Fine, tomorrow morning, I’ll check up on you,” Leon said reluctantly and left her bedroom.

Immediately Leon left Ella’s bedroom, he went straight to his home office and activated the newly installed micro camera to check on her.

To his surprise when he checked Ella’s bedroom, she was no longer lying on the bed. Instead, she was standing by her vanity mirror while slowly taking her clothes off.

Watching her take off her dress and walk to the bathroom nude, arose deep desires in him. He was tempted to go over to her bedroom to be with her. However, he decided to respect her wish of wanting to be alone and retired to his bedroom for the night.

Leon woke up with a slight migraine, the following morning. He sat up on his bed, massaging his aching forehead, while wondering what the time was, due to the amount of daylight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling window in his bedroom.

He lazily picked up his phone and was alarmed when he saw that it was already a few minutes past 7:00 AM.

“Shit!”

He quickly stood up and walk straight to the bathroom for his morning shower.

After showering and dressing up, he went straight to his wife’s bedroom to check up on her.

When he tapped on the door and heard her gentle voice say, “come in,” he happily strolled into her bedroom but was dumbfounded by what he saw.

“Babe, are you attending a party I’m unaware of?” Leon quizzed excitedly as his widened eyes drank in Ella’s glowing beauty.

Ella was donned in a thin strap, long flowing, wine-red dress, with a high thigh slit in front. Her hair was perfectly styled sideways and left cascading down her slender shoulders. A diamond dangle earring sparkled with every step she took while complimenting her dazzling high-heeled glass shoes.

Her makeup though subtle, brought out the immense natural beauty that made Leon fall for her in the first place.

Even with her pronounced but cute baby bump, it was difficult for any man not to gawk at her.

“It could be a party...” Ella slowly walked towards him, while flaunting her hourglass body, thereby activating all her seductress weapons and making him drool over her like a helpless little lost lamb. “... Or it could be someone’s funeral.” She lifted a finger and helped Leon close his open mouth.

“My dear husband, last night you told me to ask anything of you, right?” Ella spoke softly but cutely as she walked over to her bed and picked up her sparkling oyster-shaped clutch.

“Yes, I did,” Leon replied breathlessly as he prayed inwardly for a passionate kiss from his beautiful wife.

“I have three requests.” Ella paused to allow her words to sink into her drooling husband’s head. “Do you promise to grant all three of them?”

“Yes, I promise,” Leon said rather hastily as he moved closer to hold Ella by her waist.

“I need you to say this out loud,” Ella smiled devilishly as she allowed her husband to grab her waist and look lustfully into her sparkling eyes. “I Leon Treshvire promise to honor my wife’s three requests without question.”

Leon repeated her statement word for word, without wavering or considering the implication of what he was saying.

“Splendid!” Ella broke away from his gentle hold and his attempted kiss. She slowly walked towards the door and turned to face her hypnotized husband.

“My first request would be for you to take me to your office.” Ella smiled bewitchingly.
