261 Vicious Seduction
Leon slowly strolled towards the window to avoid Ella’s chilly but agonizing gaze. He could read from her nurous expression that she was struggling hard to put up a good fight. He could tell that behind all the tough and fearless facade was the tender and loving girl he was crazy about.
Even though he was tempted to hold her and console her, her last statent kept prickling at his heart and judging him. It made him feel like a condemned criminal trying to act saintly.
He knew he had disappointed her by sleeping with Xia and he couldn’t bring himself to look into her eyes with the burden of his guilt weighing him down.
‘Why should I feel this way!’ He thought critically. ‘I gave her several opportunities to change her mind and get rid of that thing in her womb but she refused. Am I supposed to wait for her forever?’
Deep down, Leon wanted to badly bla Ella for pushing him to the wall and making him break their marital vows.
But, whenever he tried to fault her for stubbornly refusing to terminate her pregnancy and defending Dr. Julie’s ddling action, he found himself suffocating from betraying her love.
“I didn’t leave you broken like you claid, Ella!” Leon finally spoke up in a surprisingly calm tone. “All I said was that I needed so space.”
Ella temporarily close her eyes and tried the breathing exercise to steady her pounding heart and irregular breathing. When she felt a little bit in control of her emotions again, she spoke up in a subtler tone.
“Needing so space doesn’t amount to you relocating with your stuff to God knows where. Needing so space does not amount to you treating like one of your employees. Needing so space does not amount to talking down on . I understand you are not happy about my decision but I’m hoping you will be in the long run.”
.....
“I won’t!” Leons said affirmatively. “You can’t just force it down my throat and expect to be happy.”
Leon slowly turned around to face her as a new wave of anger hit him while suppressing his guilt.
“Yesterday you threatened with divorce and death! You made feel like a monster who was undeserving of you. You said so many unbearable things that tore my heart into shreds. What did you expect to do, stay under the sa roof with you and watch you torture with more words?”
“I... it’s b...because...y...you gave limited options. I...I just wanted to give my unborn baby a fighting chance.” Ella stamred a bit as Leon’s words hit her like a tsunami.
She wanted to go over to him and pacify him but the fiery glint in his darkened eyes made her change her mind.
Feeling her legs wobble from excessive standing, she trudged back to her seat and sat down.
“Fine! I’ve accepted that you go ahead and keep the pregnancy but did you have to go posting pictures of your pregnant self all over social dia? I have been receiving unnecessary calls and ssages all morning from both people I know and don’t know.”
Leon strolled towards her desk and sat down while holding her gaze. He tried to sound as placid as possible in other to prevent another superiority showdown.
“Couldn’t you have at least kept the pregnancy a secret?”
“I’ve kept it secret for two months and I’m tired of doing so. I want to live freely without acting as though my pregnancy is a stigma.”
Leon wanted to reply to her statent with face-slapping words but quickly changed it to sothing less infuriating.
“So you classify living freely as dressing up in a tight-fitting seductive dress and uploading such pictures for other n to start lusting over my wife? If you must know, I read so of the comnts on your uploaded pictures and so far I’ve counted more than one hundred n making advances at you. Is this the attention you were seeking?”
Seeing the jealous being in Leon resurfacing, Ella’s face broke into a smile and she decided to get more of his attention with a vicious seduction.
“Leon, I’m sorry if this whole social dia stuff is getting you over the edge.”
She gently stood and slowly walked across her desk to where Leon was seated, while flaunting her hips seductively. She slowly sat on his thigh and wrapped her hand around his neck while watching as the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away.
“All I was trying to do was to make myself happy. I was tired of feeling hurt and rejected.” Her fingers softly stroked his nape and her warm breath fanned his face as she spoke.
“I missed you so much. Even though you left for a night, it felt like a lifeti. It felt awkward not waking up with you by my side. I miss the way you kiss and tease just to get to open my eyes.” She softly brushed her lips on his nose.
“Ella, you are...” Leon didn’t get to finish his statent when Ella’s lips brushed over his, making him swallow his words. He moistened his lips and patiently waited for a kiss that never ca.
“Shit!” He cursed within while gazing into Ella’s playfully beaming eyes.
Leon felt weakened by her gentle touch and sweet seduction. This made him temporarily forget that he was supposed to be mad at her for the social dia stunt.
“I’ve been waiting for you to complint my outfit all morning. You know fully well that I don’t care about any other man except you. You are the only man capable of making my heart skip a beat whether angry or happy.
Ella released Leon from her hypnotic hold and stood up. She slowly spun around, raking her hands through her free-flowing hair and flinging it from side to side in slow motion.
“How do I look!” Ella smiled when she observed Leon drooling over her.
Like a bee being lured to its death by the sweet nectar of love, Leon shalessly stood up and pulled Ella into his arm.
“You look ravishing, my love.”
