Chapter 50

50 Inextinguishable Fire; A Second Chance At Love. [MATURE CONTENT]

Leon had said he loved her the previous night. Did he really mean it, she wondered? Or was it an impulsive statement due to their heated lovemaking?

“I’ve missed you so much,” she closed up the little space between them and kissed him. She totally ignored the fact that she was half naked except for her transparent sleepwear and her sexy lingerie.

Leon showered her face, ears, and her neck with passionate kisses.

Just a few minutes ago, those amateur assaulters had ruined his mood and opened the gates to his dark side. Now, here was Ella, with just a smile and a kiss, gently erasing his foul mood.

While he caressed and kissed her affectionately, his taste receptors caught a salty saliva mixture. Leon pulled back and looked into Ella’s eyes. He was suddenly heartbroken when he noticed she was silently crying.

“Ella!” Leon pulled her into his arms and held her tight. “Did I do something wrong?” He quizzed her gently like a mother trying to soothe her hurt infant.

Ella shook her head in response and sobbed calmly in his arms.

“Then tell me, who had the guts to offend my baby?” His tone conveyed a potent undertone of a mixture of anger, revenge, and crazy love.

In response, Ella returned to kissing him, while her hands roved his body in a desperate need for affection. At the moment, she only craved Leon’s love. She wanted him to engulf her whole being. Her thoughts were suffocating her and she needed to unburden herself to him.

.....

Leon couldn’t control the inextinguishable fire Ella’s hand was igniting in his body. So, he stopped probing further and allowed their bodies to communicate.

Ella reached down below and started massaging him tenderly. And before long, they were both all over each other completely nude.

Leon observed that Ella was more demanding than the previous night. It was as though there was a ravine in her that she was trying so hard to fill.

She moaned loudly and attacked his body aggressively. She went wild with crazy kisses, nibbling, and rough handling him. It was as though she had been possessed by a succubus.

“Ella!... Ah!...shit! What’s come over you? Ah...” Leon lost total control of his sexual craving.

“Please!” She said between passionate moans and cries. “Go harder on me. I want you to...mhm ...ooh!”

She didn’t even struggle or stop Leon when at some point he returned her wild gesture. He flipped her over and made her kneel in a doggy position. He pulled her hips up to his and took her from behind. He rode her steadily but fiercely like a champion horseman.

Even when Leon erupted, he didn’t stop. He changed her position to face him and took her again and again.

When they were both finally satisfied and in each other’s arms, Ella slept off like a baby.

Leon felt blissful with Ella sleeping in his arms. Although, he was still worried about what was eating her up within. Could Maggie have said something hurtful to her, he wondered.

He wanted to do everything right to please her. He couldn’t stand any painful tears from her eyes, as it greatly affected him. He meant it when he said he loved her, even though he never bargained for love. And this time, whoever crossed her path would pay with their lives.

By the next morning, Ella was awoken by Leon’s warm and tender kisses. After another round of passionate lovemaking, Leon took her to the bathroom and they both showered together.

While having their breakfast, Ella opened up to Leon about her mother’s cold decision at the hospital.

Leon listened with rapt attention. Although inwardly, he was greatly hurt.

“So, are you going to divorce me to make your mum happy?” He took her left hand and gently squeeze it while gazing into her eyes with so much affection.

Ella was like a new wine that Leon had tasted. He desperately wanted to be drunk in her love. He didn’t want to imagine a day without her in his arms. The universe had given him a second chance at love and he was never going to take this one for granted. He would work harder to earn Ella’s love and trust, rather than impose his love on her.

“Hmm... I can’t afford to lose my mum. I still care about her more than she could imagine.” Ella paused and stared into Leon’s softly beaming eyes.

“But you! I would be miserable without...” She bowed her head slightly, as she thought of the right words to use.

Ella was afraid to confess her feelings to Leon. She wasn’t sure if he meant it when he said he loved her. They had made love the previous night and he didn’t use those words again.

She looked up at Leon and placed her second palm on his. “I want to be with you at least for now. I don’t want to lose you either. You mean so much to me.”

Leon smiled as he moved in and kissed her. “I can’t afford to lose you too because I’m crazily in love with you Ella. I know I stated that you shouldn’t fall in love with me. But now, I am the one who is crazily in love with you. Nevertheless, whatever you decide, you have my unconditional support and blessing.”

It was as though Leon had read her mind and this made her happy. Now, she could open up slightly to him without overthinking it.

“Really! I think I’m in love with you too” Ella whispered as emotional tears glimmered in her eyes. Her soft and serene voice sounded like the gentle dripping of liquid water from a frozen icicle in a cave.

Leon lifted her from her seat and took her into his arms. He planted an affectionate kiss on her forehead and hugged her tenderly.

“Let’s forget about everything and everyone today. I know you are eager to resume your work, but trust me everything is ready and waiting for you. Denise did a great job and I instructed Tom to assist. How about you resume work tomorrow?” He requested pleadingly.

“I want you to rest at home today. I’ll go out briefly and return before you know it. What do you think?” Leon lifted her in his arms, while Ella held onto his neck gently.

“Okay! I think that’s a great idea,” Ella smiled. “But I’ll have to make some calls and see to it that everything is ready before I resume tomorrow. I will also set the unveiling of my new brand for Thursday. And you are my number one guest of honor.”

“No problem, my business-oriented beautiful wife. I am humbly at your service.” He kissed her lips softly. “You are my boss now.” Leon took her back upstairs to the bedroom for another intimate moment before leaving for his morning appointment.

********

Having released all her accumulated anger on Ella the previous day, Maggie miraculously recovered and was discharged.

Before leaving Amzone city, Maggie forbade everyone in her company from talking to Ella, aside Richard; who was nowhere to be found. She wanted Ella to feel the pain of family rejection. She believed that this would make her set her priority right by divorcing Leon. If Ella did, all would be forgiven. Maggie hoped and prayed that Ella would make the right decision before the week elapses.

At the airport, before Maggie and her entourage departed Amazon City, Susan solidified her relationship with everyone. She apologize to Olivia for her inhumane behavior and promised nothing was going on between herself and Richard. She stated that Ella’s lies had infuriated her to act that way.

Even though Olivia didn’t believe one word from Susan’s mouth, she accepted the apology and left.

Susan stated that she was staying back with an intention of talking some sense into Ella. She also promised to keep Maggie informed concerning Ella’s decision. She said this to annul any suspicion surrounding her recent association with Richard. She even slept in the hospital the previous night after apologizing and reconnecting with Abigail.

“Thanks, Susan. But how about your job? Wouldn’t you get in trouble with your boss? You’ve been absent for some days now?” Maggie looked genuinely concerned.

“I have requested three weeks’ leave off duties which had been granted,” Susan said with a false smile.

“Oh Susan, you’re such a good friend. Thanks and take good care of yourself.” Maggie hugged her and left.

When Susan returned to her hotel room, she observed that Richard had gone out. So, she placed a call across to Ella.

Ella deliberated for a while before picking up the call after the third ring.

“Ella I’m still extremely mad at you, do not forget that.” Susan’s face contoured with fury at Ella’s relaxed and calm tone. “What are you so entangled with that you can’t even take my calls anymore? Is your business partner keeping you so busy?” Susan’s tone couldn’t hide her ironic displeasure.

“Susan! Please! I’m trying to put myself together. I don’t need any more lectures from anyone. If you are calling to chastise me, then I’ll just end the call. Also, do not talk ill of my husband. I won’t take that from you or anyone.” Ella spoke in a calm but firm tone. She could no longer tell if Susan was on her side or her family’s. Leon had managed to fix her up a little and she didn’t want anyone to reopen her wound.

Susan breathed down her frustration. She didn’t want to let her rampaging emotions to spoil her chances of gaining Ella’s trust. “Fine! I guess I’ll have to swallow the bitter pill which you’re forcing down my throat! I’m calling to let you know that your mum has left this morning with your uncle and aunt. Abigail also left with them but I stayed back because I care,” Susan pretended to be sobbing. She neatly inserted her emotional blackmail card which works so well on Ella.
