Chapter 155 - 155 Ella’s Guardian Angels

155 Ella’s Guardian Angels

It was a day of mourning and sorrow for the Sacramento family as the news of Alberto’s death spread like wildfire.

Every member of the Sacramento family was alerted of the horrendous torture and death of Alberto. They were also warned by the broken Rodriguez to triple their security guards in case of another attack.

Sheila Sacramento, the second wife of Rodriguez was the most affected in the family. Alberto was her first and most cherished son.

Out of all her three grown-up children, Alberto was the most sensible and caring one. Although he was occasionally involved in one or two illegal dealings, he was never caught. He operated discreetly and intelligibly.

Sheila’s other twin boys were nothing but double trouble. They were intoxicated by their father’s wealth and status. Everything they lay their hands on always caused their parents heartache.

Excessive drug trafficking, women trafficking, and gangster fighting; were the few prominent offenses the twin brothers were charged with in the past. However, they never lasted in police custody for more than an hour due to their father’s great influence in the justice department.

Sheila lay on the hospital bed for hours crying her eyes out. She couldn’t believe that Alberto was gone. The repulsive sight of his severed right hand and the tormenting video that was sent to her kept replaying in her traumatized head. She imagined the pain and torment Alberto must have gone through before he finally gave up the ghost.

“I want justice for my mutilated and murdered son,” Sheila continually cried out until she was heavily sedated and slept off.

.....

.....

After a full day of mourning for his precious son, Rodriguez swung into action, in search of his son’s assailants. He traveled down to Fina city and visited the scene of the crime.

Unfortunately for Rodriguez, when he requested the security footage of the pool party that led to his son’s untimely death, it was nowhere to be found.

“Get me all the security personnel on duty that night! Rodriguez barked in anger and frustration.

When the trembling security personnel were brought before Rodriguez, they were all made to face his terror.

“So I pay you all to be nothing but a nuisance in my hotel?!” Rodriguez boomed in a high-pitched voice.

“No Sir, we...”

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Rodriguez didn’t allow one of them to finish his statement as he instantly shot all five security personnel in the head.

“I want every person that attended that pool party rounded up, immediately!” Rodriguez barked fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot and bulging out. His veins were tensed and strained. His aura was demented and frightening. Everything about him exuded pure rage.

“Yes, boss!” The leader of his wet workers swung into action.

All of Alberto’s friends and girlfriends were quickly rounded up for questioning and immense torturing until a useful answer came up. However, everyone kept saying the same thing.

‘A beautiful brunette was the last girl seen with Alberto before his death.’

“Who is this bloody brunette that lured my son to his death? Find her!” Rodriguez boomed and stormed out of the hotel.

On his way back to the airport, Rodriguez received another alarming news that his third son convoy was attacked by a lethal assassin group.

“Is Antonio safe? Did he escape? Talk to me!” Rodriguez screamed into the earpiece. His body trembled vigorously and his heartbeat skyrocketed. He felt an imminent cardiac arrest when he sensed the reluctance of the caller to reveal the dreaded news.

“Speak to me, I command you!” Rodriguez’s grip on his mobile phone was so fierce that it screamed for mercy.

“Antonio was the main target boss,” the trembling voice replied. “He was brutally shot in the attack and he died on the spot.”

At this news, Rodriguez temporarily lost his sanity. He commanded the car to stop and jumped out of the car in the middle of the road, like a wounded tiger seeking blood.

“What the hell man!” A taxi driver, who almost ran into him yelled.

Rodriguez stormed over to the taxi driver’s car, pulled out his gun, and emptied it on the unfortunate taxi driver’s chest.

Everyone around the scene of the crime instantly took cover for fear of the unleashed deranged man with a bloodthirsty appetite and a gun in his hand.

Ella had a splendid weekend with her husband, enjoying his intense care and pampering. Even when Leon left the Villa for one or two urgent tasks, he would return within a short while to attend to her needs. Hence, when Monday finally arrived, she was eager to resume work and run away from Leon’s excessive attention.

After having an early breakfast together, Leon and Ella left the villa for work.

Leon personally drove Ella to work and gave her five new bodyguards; whose primary duty was to protect her with their lives and see to it that she does not receive a single scratch on her body.

When they both arrived at the APB fashion company, Ella kissed Leon briefly on the cheek and alighted the car.

Immediately Leon left the APB fashion company premises, he placed a call across to Sky.

“Sky, I hope Ella’s guardian angels are in place?” Leon quizzed in a placid tone when Sky answered his call.

...

Ella’s guardian angels were a group of twelve ghost bodyguards set up by Leon. Their primary duty was to watch over Ella in the shadows, and protect her wherever she went. They were also tasked with the responsibility of shielding Ella from any unforeseen enemy.

...

“Yes, boss,” Sky replied curtly. “They are alert and watching. Henceforth, anyone who tries any funny business with madam Ella will pay through his or her nose.”

“Good! I don’t want my wife to leave a life of fear and regret. This will be the last time anyone makes an attempt on her life.” Leon stressed each word.

“You have nothing to worry about, boss. We’ve got her totally secured.”

“How about the third strike team sent to Rodriguez first son,” Leon asked in a chilly tone. “I don’t want him to experience any break from mourning. I want him and his family to pay dearly for choosing to mess with the Treshvires.”

“They’re close to the target, boss. You will get your sweet revenge before noon, today.”

“Great job, keep me posted on any new updates.” Leon grinned devilishly and ended the call.

“Good morning, ma’am.” Joan greeted immediately she sighted her boss. She briskly walked over to Ella and carried her bags.

Ella responded to Joan greeting with a smile and walked into her office.

“Ma’am, madam Denise is here...”

Joan’s statement was interrupted by Denise.

“Hello, sweetie pie! Good morning!” An overly excited Denise walked into Ella’s office and gave her a warm hug. Her glowing face and intense smile got Ella wondering whether she had won a long-awaited lottery ticket.

“Good morning, mama bear,” Ella beamed. “What’s with the excitement this morning? By the way, you told me yesterday that you had a surprise for me. Where is it?”

“Joan, can you be a darling and excuse us? When your boss needs you, she will call.” Denise cast the nosy Joan a nasty look.

“Oh, sorry, ma’am! I was just... Do you want... Never mind!” Joan covered her face in embarrassment and ran out of the office.

“Hahaha!” Ella chuckled. “Don’t mind Joan, she’s such a naughty girl but, she has a good heart. So tell me what the surprise is all about. My ears are burning to hear the hot gossip about the Thanksgiving dinner.”

“Are you sure that you’re ready for this?” Denise giggled animatedly. “Because I was also taken by surprise.”

“Wait a minute!” Ella’s eyes widened with enthusiasm.

“Don’t say anything!” Ella’s eagle eyes observed that Denise was hiding her hands behind her back.

“Tom proposed?” Ella’s eyes sparkled with expectation.

“Yes!” Denise screamed and revealed her dazzling finger.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Ella’s euphoric screams almost brought her office room down. She jumped on Denise’s body and hugged her tightly.

“Oh Denise, I’m so happy for you!” Ella’s eyes shimmered with tears of joy.

“I’m so happy too!” Denise joined in the happy tears. “I’ve been dying to share this news with you.”

“Aww!” Ella wiped the tears from her face using the back of her hands while admiring the beautiful pink diamond ring on Denise’s finger.

“It’s so gorgeous!”

“I know!” Denise giggled

“Where did he propose to you?” Ella’s eyes burned with curiosity.

“At his country home, before his entire family members.”

“Oh my goodness! Tom is so bold! I envy you, Denise! You’re so lucky!”

“Thanks! You don’t have to envy me, darling. Leon is a great guy and his mum will soon learn to accept you.” Denise gently stroked Ella’s cheeks and hugged her.

“Yeah, Leon is a sweetheart. So tell me, what else happened?” Ella pulled Denise to a seat and they both sat down.

“You won’t believe who almost ruined my relationship with Tom.” Denise slightly frowned.

“Who?” Ella gawked in surprise.

“His brother, Fred; who happened to be my one-night stand after my ex broke up with me.”

“Shit! He is Tom’s brother! Jeez!”

“Exactly my reaction when I saw him. I almost passed out.”

At that point, Denise’s phone rang.

“Who could this be?” Denise stared at the unknown contact on her phone. “It’s a strange number.”

.....

“Why don’t you pick it and find out,” Ella encouraged her.

“Okay!” Denise said and received the call after the fourth ring.

“Hello, beautiful!” A familiar voice said in the most charming voice, causing Denise to freeze.
