Chapter 204 - 204 Falling Out
204 Falling Out
Leon let out a bitter chuckle before turning all serious again.
“Of course, you are my wife, there is no denying that fact. However, there is this saying that; ‘respect is reciprocal’. So, let’s analyze the issue before us, my dear wife. How does pretending and concealing information as crucial as that...” He pointed at her womb with irritation. “...how does it amount to respect for your husband?”
“I don’t like your tone and behavior, Leon. I never meant to hide this pregnancy from you. I was waiting for the right moment to tell you.”
“So you call this, the right moment?” Leon shot back at her.
“No!”
“Then when is the right moment to tell your husband that you are two months pregnant for him!” Leon boomed at the top of his voice. “You chose the day I lost my dad and Nana to tell me that you are pregnant! Where is your empathy!”
Two things were suffocating the life out of him. One, he just lost his father and Nana. Two, the love of his life had been lying to him.
“Enough Leon, stop yelling at me! I can’t take it anymore!” Ella screamed at the top of her voice while blocking her ears with both her hands.
“I never wanted babies, Ella! I wanted it to just be the two of us till eternity.” Leon walked over to her and removed her hands from her ears while gazing tenderly into her hurt eyes.
.....
“I wanted to give you the world, babe! I wanted to give you my world! Why did you choose to hurt me this way? Don’t you love me anymore?”
Ella felt at loss for words at Leon’s question. She felt guilt slap her on both cheeks making her tears gland load itself up for the inevitable. She blink severally to force back her threatening tears before gathering the needed courage to speak up.
“You know that I love you, Leon. I never planned for this to happen. I found out when I was already for weeks pregnant and I almost terminated it.”
“Then why didn’t you?”
“Because it will amount to killing an innocent unborn child.”
“There is no such thing as killing an innocent unborn child.” Leon tried reasoning with her. “At four weeks, it barely has the features of a child. Nevertheless, you should have told me. We could have worked things out.”
“I tried, Leon! Severally! You didn’t make it easy for me. You kept insisting that you didn’t want children. You never cared if I wanted one. What was I supposed to do?”
Leon released Ella’s hands at her confession of desiring children. His softened and pleading face turned hardcore as he walked away from her, toward the window. He thought hard for a while before answering Ella’s questions.
“You were not supposed to get pregnant!” He said between gritted teeth. Even though we destroyed the contract of our six months marriage arrangements, the condition about not getting pregnant still stood. I warned you to never get pregnant. I gave you contraceptive pills to prevent that.”
Ella let out a scornful chuckle and shook her head in disappointment. Resentment and frustration sucked up every ounce of mannerism and softness she had left.
“You think this is funny!” Leon turned around sharply and walked back to her; leaving behind only a little space between them.
Even though he was currently mad at her, seeing her sneer at him in her cute unique way turned him on. He was tempted to kiss her tightened pink lips.
One peculiar attribute about Ella that always managed to hypnotize Leon was the fact that she looked way prettier whenever she was angry.
“No, I think you are funny, dear husband. Do you want us to revisit the conditions of the former contract? No problem! I’ll remind you.” Ella scoffed.
“Do you remember the no sex clause or should I refresh your memory about my conditions?” Ella spoke fearlessly. She was unfazed by the deadly chilly spark in Leon’s eyes and the stiffness of his puffed-up muscles.
“If you never wanted children, then you should have consented to my earlier demands of no sex. You shouldn’t have been f**king me the way you do. You f**k me every day without protection and you expect me to swallow some godforsaken pills for the rest of my life? Do you call that just?”
“Ella!”
The tone of Leon’s low voice was deep, raspy, and deadly.
Ella raised one hand in the air, thereby shutting Leon up.
“Hmm...” Leon breathed out like a frightening beast about to be set loose.
“If you had no plans of becoming a father, then the only preventive measure is...” She leaned closer to Leon’s inflamed face daring him to do his worse, “...abstinence.”
Leon felt a sharp blow to his heart that left him breathless. He grabbed Ella’s shoulder but quickly released her for fear of hurting her in rage.
He walked away from her towards the door and started punching the wall fiercely, causing his knuckle to bruise and bleed.
“Leon, stop it!” Ella screamed at the top of her voice. She ran over to him to hold him but he stopped her from touching him while backing her.
“Don’t!”
Ella’s tears glands finally broke and tears fell freely from her reddened eyes as she felt the first sting of rejection hit her like a long-range bullet from a sniper.
“Who else in my family, knows about your pregnancy aside from my mum and sister?” Leon quizzed between clenched jaw.
“I can’t answer that right now, you’re not in a good frame of mind.”
She could sense the danger looming around Leon’s new line of questioning. So she decided that she would not divulge the information to him until he was no longer furious.
Unfortunately, for Ella, Leon had reached and exceeded his peak of tolerance.
“Please...” Leon stressed the word. “Do not let me repeat myself. I ask again, aside from my mum and sister, who else in my family knows about your pregnancy?”
Ella slowly turned around to walk away from Leon when he suddenly pulled her back into his arms glaring at her like a bloodthirsty vampire.
“Who else!” Leon boomed into her face and shook her body forcefully causing Ella to cry even more.
“Your Nana and dad!” Ella answered between sobs.
“What have you done?”
Leon released her instantly and clasped his throbbing head in agony.
“What have you done?”
