A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 57

57 The Lesson Of A Lifetime

Leon was worried by Ella’s vengeful expression. He didn’t want her to suffer any more trauma. Although, inwardly, he was happy that Ella felt this way about Richard. With Richard gone out of the picture, there wasn’t going to be any more competition for her love. And he would be able to protect her heart.

“Are you sure about this? Leon quizzed her softly and pulled her back into his arms while stroking her back, gently. “I don’t want you hurting today for any reason.”

Ella took in a deep breath before responding. “I am one hundred percent sure. I want to look into his eyes while I question him. I also need to know who else he had been conniving with to hurt me. I’m scared that Abigail is also involved in this whole charade.”

Leon smiled devilishly as he thought about Richard’s meeting with Chloe. This is going to be a fun revelation, he thought inwardly. “Okay, if it makes you happy. We will go to the hospital after we conclude our unfinished business.” He lifted her into his arms, kissing her desperately, and took her to his bedroom.

Richard lay on the hospital bed partially wrapped up like an Egyptian mummified being. So many hospital gadgets and wires were taped to his skin. His partially fractured neck was supported by a neck brace. His head was wrapped up with white bandages. One of his badly fractured and completely bandaged legs was suspended in the air by weights, pulleys, and ropes. By his current state, one could presume that he had been run over by a truck. He was indeed a sight for sore eyes.

Ella and Leon calmly walked into Richard’s private hospital ward.

“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Treshvire,” the male doctor smiled politely. “So glad you could join us.”

Leon nodded but Ella was speechless. She was completely stunned to see Richard in this horrible state. This was beyond teaching someone a lesson, she pondered. Leon must have given him the lesson of a lifetime. At least, in his remaining measly existence, he would never thread on such a heinous path.

Leon had been informed earlier, by the doctor, that Richard had been stabilized. Also, he was told that Richard was conscious and awake. This was perfect for their mission.

.....

Unfortunately for Richard, the hospital where he was admitted was Leon’s private establishment. In this hospital, every worker was compelled to sign a confidentiality agreement. They were never to discuss anything that transpired in the hospital with the public. Anyone who dared to go against the agreement had no tales to tell.

“Mr. Leon, he is all yours.” The doctor briskly walked out leaving Richard to Leon’s mercy.

Leon smirked devilishly as he watched Ella advance carefully toward Richard’s bed.

“Richard!” Ella called out in a whisper. She suppressed the urge to cry as she gawked in awe. This was a man she had once loved back in high school. A man she completely adored when she visited Springchad, a few weeks back. A man that was the dream guy of most pretty ladies. A man her mum worshipped so much and wanted to be her son-in-law. What happened to that man? She wondered.

Ella remembered what Richard said that fateful night he had intended to devour her. She remembered Susan’s confession a few minutes ago. She remembered Susan claiming to be pregnant for him. And she became bitterly enraged. He deserved worse than his current state.

“Are you happy with your current status? Was it really worth it? Why didn’t you just move on without me? I don’t remember promising you anything.” Ella felt like punching a hole through Richard’s pleading eyes.

“Ella, I am...”

“Don’t you ever mention my name again, you dimwit?” Ella struck his suspended leg causing him to wince in great agony.

Leon grinned behind Ella. If only she knew that it was her name that saved Richard’s life.

“Susan told me everything,” Ella’s ferocious glares made Richard shudder. “And you know what? I don’t give a f**k about who you decide to take to bed. But, I have one last question for you, and by god, you had better confess you, bloody bastard. Or I’ll rip your pathetic balls out of your disgusting body and feed them to you.” Ella’s scowls were vengeful.

Even Leon was touched by her scary words. “What a perfect pair we make,” Leon half smiled. Somehow, Ella piqued demeanor was exuding the Treshvires’ vengeful bloodline.

“Aside from Susan, who else have you been conniving with? Abigail? Or someone I don’t know?” Ella was worried at the thought of Abigail betraying her too.”

“C...C... Chloe. A lady c...called C...Chloe. She claimed to be Leon’s girlfriend” Richard stuttered. He was so terrified of Ella and her husband. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Leon’s haunted scowls.

“Chloe!” Ella half screamed in surprise. She spun around, staring into Leon’s irritated face. Leon nodded in affirmation, confirming to Ella that it was the same Chloe she was thinking about. She wanted to say something but her throat was clogged up with emotions. She returned her attention to Richard. “Did you sleep with her?” Ella was amazed at her new line of questioning. She knew of Chloe’s craftiness and manipulation. She also knew of Chloe’s immoral lifestyle. Certainly, a rich and handsome guy like Richard would be within Chloe’s specs. Chloe would happily give him her body.

“I... I’m sorry...”

“Answer my question, you pathetic excuse for a man.” Ella’s bloodshot eyes darted around the room. She caught sight of a foldable hospital chair. Without giving it a second thought, she picked up the chair and folded it.

“Did... POW! You...GULP! Sleep... CRACK! With her?” Ella yelled as she smashed Richard’s suspended leg and face with the chair.

Leon intervened and seized the chair from Ella before she would hurt herself. While Richard was screeching in so much pain. His fractured leg which was held on traction had been completely damaged by Ella. And his bandage face began oozing fresh blood.

“I did...I did...” Richard cried out as Leon led his distraught wife out of the hospital ward.

“You promised me, you wouldn’t cry, remember.” Leon soothed Ella as they drove back to the villa.

“I’m sorry,” Ella sobbed calmly. She was completely shattered by Richard’s confession. As if sleeping with Susan wasn’t enough crime, he went on to sleep with Chloe! So, if Leon hadn’t intervened, she would have made the third member of his sexual escapade? All her being loathed, Richard.

Leon gently cupped her face in his hands and showered it with kisses, licking up the new tears that came out of her eyes. “You know, every emotion you emit turns me on. If you don’t stop crying, I’ll be tempted to make love to you in this car” Leon said in a husky voice.

“Stop!” Ella’s face reddened. “John could hear us.” She whispered and pulled away from Leon’s arms.

“Are you worried about John or me?” Leon eyed her and smirked at her expression.

“I...” Ella was at loss for words. Her tears seized flowing as she thought of a reasonable answer to give her jealous husband. “I would never...” Her words were swallowed by passionate kisses from Leon who quickly took advantage of the enticing opening.

“Leon!” Ella’s body quavered under his intense caressing.

“Ah! Leon...not here!” Leon’s warm lips sucked on her neck while his hands gradually unbuttoned her sleeveless V-neck shirt.

“Leon!”

Leon’s lips were stuck to her hardened juicy nipples while his fingers carefully dug into her pants.

“Oh, Ella! You’re dripping wet! I want to suck you right now!” He dug his fingers into her, thrusting in and out while he returned his hungry mouth to her lips.

“Ah!”

Ella let out a muffled moan as Leon was setting her body on fire. She grab his head and kissed him greedily.

Unfortunately, the car came to a stop, causing Leon to put a hold on his needs. He carefully buttoned her shirt and kissed her flushed face. “Let’s continue inside the house, shall we?” He brushed his lips on her ears and teasingly licked her ear lobes. He came down from the car and straightened out his rumpled clothes.

Ella shyly stepped out of the car. She was mortified when she saw John’s cheerful stares. “He knows!” She mused incoherently. She turned her gaze towards the house, with plans of running towards it to hide her face in shame. Before she could take a step further she found herself in the air.

“Where are you running to, my beautiful wife.” Leon carried her in his arms and covered her face with more kisses.

“Leon everyone is watching! Please not here.” She tried in vain to set herself free.

“Let them watch! That is what married couples do.” Leon held her firmly and kissed her more.

“Sir, you have an urgent...” Paul was interrupted by a fierce look from Leon.

“Let it wait!” Leon barked at him. Why was Paul always infringing on his moments of happiness with Ella like a little devil sidekick? No, not this time. Not when his groin was on fire. He needed to quench his thirst. Leon hastily took Ella into his bedroom for fear of another interruption.

********

After her afternoon choreography routine, Chloe tried calling Richard again. Unfortunately, her calls didn’t go through.

“What the hell is wrong with this lunatic? Why is his mobile phone switched off,” she questioned herself in fury. “I hope this idiot has no plans of chickening out. This deal is a simple one. Take back your Ariella and I take back my Leon.” She hissed and tried calling the number again. Still getting the same reply, she decided to take matters into our own hands. Thanks to her nosy status, she had been spying on Richard. She knew the hotel he was lodged in. All she needed to do was give an excuse for a visit.

Back at Richard and Susan’s hotel room, Susan gradually packed her things, with plans of leaving the city that same day. From her earlier visit to Leon’s villa, she knew she couldn’t go back to Springchad or ever return to this city again. Leon had already promised her fire-and-brimstone if he ever set his eyes on her. Although, she wished she knew of Richard’s current status. She had no plans of removing his child and she still had plans of tormenting his life for every hurt he had cost her.

She packed up and was about to walk towards the door when a knock agitated her.

“Could it be Leon’s men again?” Her face was as white as a sheet. But they had given her thirty minutes to pack up and leave the city.

“Richard! It’s Chloe! Open up already, I know you’re in there.” Chloe knocked again impatiently.

“What do you want with my Richard?” Susan swung open the door with a fierce look on her face.
