A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 260 - 260 You Left Me!

260 You Left Me!

It is said that, to a friend, a great achievement is good news but to an enemy, it’s bragging and a reminder of a score to settle.

The news about the pregnancy of the beautiful wife of the renowned and devilishly handsome CEO/ chairman of the Treshvire empire spread within and across the shores of Amzone city.

Many known and unknown friends of the amazing couple celebrated them by sending heartwarming congratulatory messages. While some decided to reach out to either of the couples.

However, some with a bitter vendetta against the couple saw this as a new opportunity to resume plotting how to bring them down.

Three major enemies out of a host of others were:

-firstly, Rodriguez Sacramento; who was still mourning the brutal assassination of his three sons. Although he was certain that Leon was responsible for the crime, he was aggrieved due to the lack of evidence to back up his claim.

– Secondly, a crippled Richard; who returned to Springchad after he was discharged. Due to the amputation of his two legs as a result of badly damaged bones, his career as a football superstar abruptly came to an end. Also, as a result of his crippled state and defaming, every pretty girl in Springchad had been avoiding him like a plague.

-Lastly, a three-month pregnant Susan; who had been in hiding after Leon banished her. Ever since she went into exile, she had been following up on Ella’s social life.

When she discovered what Leon and Ella did to the father of her unborn child, her hatred for the couple tripled by a million. She swore to do everything in her power to destroy the couple even if it meant joining forces with a higher enemy.

.....

All three high-ranking enemies at their different locations started making a series of research as they sort out a weak link between the couple.

———-

Ella was giving some instructions to Joan when Leon barged into her office like an almighty mafia boss seeking retribution for an enemy.

“Get out!” He barked at Joan, who was alarmed at the way he stormed into the office as though he was the CEO.

“Joan, please leave!” Ella said in a gentle tone while maintaining her calm but boss lady-like composure.

Without waiting for Ella to finish her sentence, Joan briskly walked out of the office and shut the door.

“How dare you, Ella! How dare you challenge my authority?” Leon moved closer to her table and placed his two hands on it while glaring into her dangerously scowling eyes.

“Well, it’s about time someone challenged your authority.” Ella slowly stood up to meet his gaze. “And who else if not me, Ariella Treshvire, your wife if I may add.” Ella drawl the word, ‘wife’ with every bit of sarcasm.

“Geez! What has come over you! is this your pregnancy hormone acting out or is this a part of you I never knew existed” Leon stepped backward and stared at her from head to toe.

He was mad at her but at the same time alarmed at her awkward behavior and the words coming out of her mouth.

“You, Leon! You are the reason why I’m acting this way!” Ella send between clenched teeth as she walked across the table and went to stand before her enraged husband.

“I am! You messed up big time with this pregnancy stuff and you claim that I am responsible for this tension between us?” Leon’s eyes widened in both astonishment and resentment.

“Grow up, Leon!” Ella’s angry saliva splashed all over his face as she spoke. “Be a man and take responsibility for your action. I didn’t get myself pregnant, you did. But if you feel like it so excruciating that you find it difficult to identify with this amazing child in my womb...” Ella forcefully took his hand and placed it on her baby bump, “... then go ahead and declare to the public that you are not the father.”

“What the hell! Have you gone nut!”

Leon forcefully pulled his hand from Ella’s grip and walked away, as all his spiking hormones were pushing him to punch something.

“Enough!” Ella boomed fiercely. “I won’t tolerate you using such language on me! You will learn to talk to me respectfully as your wife. Otherwise, I will do even more crazy things that will make you wish you never knew me!”

Leon chuckled bitterly as his enormously disgruntled mind couldn’t fathom what demon had possessed his cool-headed loving wife.

“What do you call this...” Leon gestured at her behavior with disgust. “Isn’t this insanity?”

Ella raised her hand to strike Leon but he quickly caught it and arrested her hand behind her back.

“Don’t you dare try that!” Leon said in a chilly tone.

“Let go of me!” Ella screamed at the top of her voice.

Luckily for both of them, Ella’s office was voice-proof. Hence, no one outside the office could hear or see what was going on.

When Leon observed Ella’s face squeeze in pain, he quickly released her hand and walked away from her for fear of losing his temper on her.

“I am ashamed of you, Leon. You disappoint me with your action. Men like your great father and mine, bless their souls, celebrated their wives when they found that they were pregnant. Why can’t you take a cue from them? Huh!”

“Ella, you’re going beyond your boundary,” Leon warned in a dreadful tone.

“I’m ready to cross all boundaries if it will get me back my husband that I fell in love with,” Ella replied adamantly.

Leon blew out air through his mouth as the tension in him sought for release. He inhaled and exhaled forcefully as he tried to regulate his heavy breathing.

“Ella,” Leon tried his best to sound calm be his voice came out hoarse. “We both need to calm down otherwise things could get ugly.”

“Things are already ugly, Leon.”

Ella was at the point of breaking down but she fought hard and pushed back every threatening tear.

“You left our home! For the first time in our marriage, you left me broken. You didn’t check up on me. You left me! Where did you spend the night, Leon?
