A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 307 - 307 Seeking Penance

307 Seeking Penance

“Ella, what’s the matter?” Denise quickly moved across the table to where Ella was seated and took her mobile phone from my hands.

“Someone I don’t know is threatening me.” Ella’s quivering voice conveyed her fears.

Denise read the message out loud and stared at Ella quizzically.

“This person has given us a clue that she is pregnant. So, do you know any pregnant person who has a personal vendetta against you?

Ella raised a finger to her lips while racking her brain for answers to Denise’s questions. Then her eyes widened as a name hit her like an electric shock.

“Susan!” Both Ella and Denise chorused at the same time.

“I knew it! I am one hundred percent sure that she is the one behind this message” Denise scoffed as an image of the devil incarnate Susan flashed through her mind.

“Yes, the only person I know who is currently pregnant and may have a beef with me is Susan.” Ella stood up and started to pace back and forth. “But why would she send me such a threat now, after I pardoned her for what she did to me in the past?”

“If you ask me, you made a big mistake forgiving her after she tried to have Richard rape you. You do not allow a snake, like Susan to live freely because someone like her would always turn around and bite you in the future,” Denise hissed.

.....

“Hmm...” Ella stopped pacing and stared at Denise intensely. “What if she left the city and returned when Leon was no longer monitoring her movement? What if she has been monitoring me from a distance all this while?”

“Should we inform Leon? Because you know he can track her and put her in her place,” Denise suggested cautiously.

“No, I do not need his help. I’ll do this all by myself,” Ella replied firmly. “Don’t forget, Susan can’t get to me that easily. She would have to break through all my security guards to get to me.”

“What if she does?” Denise queried.

“If she succeeds, I’ll be waiting for her. I’m no longer the naive and frightened Ella she knew back then. And this time, I will not show mercy because she just threatened my precious baby.”

“Alright! Henceforth, we’ll both need to be extra vigilant and careful.” Denise warned. Although she already made up her mind to inform Leon of the threatening message behind Ella’s back. she knew Leone’s expertise was potent and would always come in handy.

Just as Ella was about to leave the dining room, Paul walked in with a massive sunflower bouquet from Leon.

“Aww!” Denise cupped her mouth but instantly stifled her excitement when Ella flashed her an angry stare.

“Take it away, Paul, I do not want to see it!” Ella said dismissively and angrily walked out of the room.

———-

Leon arrived at the second mansion emotionally drained and exhausted.

Leaving his luggage in the hand of Ida and some other house staff to worry about, he climbed up the stairs and trudged to his bedroom.

Safely inside the sanctuary of his bedroom, he checked the time on his wristwatch and discovered that it was already a few minutes past seven in the evening. So, he made some calls to confirm if his requested flowers had been sent to his wife’s house.

“Yes, sir. The package has arrived at its location some minutes ago,” a lady receptionist answered.

“Good!” Leon ended the call and headed straight to the bathroom for a cold shower.

Before going to bed, he sent Ella a good night message, hoping she would read it before deleting it.

[Looking out my window on this cold but dazzling starry night,

I thought of your smile and it filled my heart with so much warmth.

Thanks for coming into my life and giving me happiness.

Sleep tight my beautiful angel and my sweet kisses to our baby.]

Although Leon had access to check his live feed to see what Ella was doing at all times at home, he didn’t bother to go through it, as he drifted off to sleep immediately after his head touched the pillow.

When Leon woke up early the next morning, he sent Ella another message.

[I miss you this morning just like I missed you yesterday.

Watching the sunrise puts a smile on my face because you are my sunshine.

I wish you an awesome and delightful day.

Keep smiling and conquer this day like the warrior princess you are.

Good morning.]

After hitting the send button, Leon observed that he had an unread message from Denise.

Wondering why Denise would send him a message when they had barely communicated for a while, Leon hastily read through it.

His expression changed from serene to a dangerous scowl when he got wind that someone suspected to be Susan was sending Ella threatening messages.

Feeling grateful for the heads up, Leon replied to Denise’s message with a simple; thank you.

Then he instantly swung into the action of nipping the bud from the stem before it germinated.

He dialed Sky’s number and informed him to send some strike team to trail, bait, and capture Susan from wherever she was hiding around the world.

He also instructed Sky to ensure Ella’s ghost guardian angels were reliably informed of the recent threat. They were to take note of any pregnant lady seen around Ella and to act swiftly if any threat was perceived.

Feeling satisfied and a bit relaxed, he got ready for work and left the house, after ensuring that the booked white roses he requested had been delivered to his wife.

Ella woke up to another heartwarming message from Leon. Just like she did with the previous night’s message, she reread it over and over again before saving it.

She was impressed by his first step of seeking penance even in the face of rejection. But she couldn’t help but wonder how far he was willing to go with trying to win her back.

She slowly rose from her bed and for some unknown walked towards her bedroom door as though she was expecting someone.

Her sharp nostril picked up the heavenly smell of fresh flowers even before she opened the door.

A contagious smile slowly spread across her face as she carefully squatted by the large bouquet of white roses lying on the floor by the entrance to her bedroom.

She slowly reached out and gently caressed the rose petals while sniffing in its rejuvenating fragrance.

“Hmm... two points for Leon for keeping to his promise,” Denise beamed as she walked up to her blushing friend. “Just get ready to open a rose and sunflower garden in this mansion.”

“Four points!” Ella beamed in her heart without uttering any words.
