Chapter 38
The woman in the other line seems to be quiet.
“Hello… who is this please?, my husband is asleep and I don’t want you to disturb my husband… can you please call my husband later?” I purposely repeat the word husband. She seems to laugh.
“Uhmm… am his mother” he said and I look at the name on the screen again ‘Woman’
“Really?, did Leon told you to introduce yourself as his mother?, because your voice is too young to be a mother… who are you?” I asked. Leon seems to be awake.
“Kitten…?” he said with his hoarsely voice. “is that my phone?” he said and I pointed a finger at him giving him a warning to be quiet.
“What’s your name?” I asked
“Rhoda…” she said
“Rhoda?…, aisshhh…”
“Gem give me the phone…” He said and I frown “Now…!” he sit up and drag the phone from me.
“Hey!!!” I yelled.
“What do you want?” he asked coldly. “It has nothing to do with you… stay out of my life… bye”. He ended the call. His face was not happy.
“Was that really your mother?” I asked and he nodded closing his eyes.
“Wow… her voice is lovely… you bastard how could you be so cold to her…!!” I scolded him and he opened his eyes.
“She doesn’t deserve my respect…” he said and I poke his head.
“You don’t know what you have until you’ve lost it honey… I wish I have a mother or a parent everyday but you that have one you’re separating yourself from them… it’s bad” I said
“No… they abandoned me!” he said
“Because Rose wasn’t the right one for you… if they
Didn’t push you out you could have been married to Rose be
Y now… Forgive them…”
“Gem…”
“First let’s change he name to dearest mom in your phone…” I changed the name “What did you save your dad’s number with?” I asked
“Mr…”
“Mr… what?’
“Just Mr…” he said and I changed the line again.
“Leon… I want to know your parents… be part of your family… I know you’re still searching for my identity but I want you to stop… I want to be your family…” I said and he cup my cheek.
“You’re so amazing Kitten… don’t worry… we are going to see them by December…”
“Next two months!” I yelled in excitement and he nodded
“Are you so happy?” he asked
“Of course… since it’s seasons greetings month will all your family be home?, I mean you brothers?” I asked and he nodded.
“Even my extended family will be home…”
“So I’ll have to meet you two brothers… Mr. President???, OMG… am going to see the president face to face!” I yelled
“It’s no big deal” he said frowning… was his wife having a crush on his elder brother because he’s the president?
“Think of it… aww… if am called first lady Gem… wow your brother is so cool”
“You’re so shameless kitten… praising another man in front of your husband… if I wanted to become the president then I’ll be!” he said, he sounded jealous.
“In your dreams… who would vote for you?” I asked and he smiled
“Many sexy girls” my ears burned in anger.
“You’re calling other girls sexy in front of your wife?, how shameless” I said. He drew me closer to him and kissed my back.
“Let’s go shower now… Enough with your teasing… I have something to show you…”
“What?, is it a surprise?, I love surprises… show me show me now!!!!” I yelled
“Be patient kitten let’s wash up first…”
I pouted my lips and we entered the bathroom I fastened my bath and was out before him but he took his time…
We got dressed and walk around the beach… he was walking behind me… I was enjoying the view… it was only the two of us at the entire beach.
“Leon… Leon look… it’s a bird Nestle… can you see…” I turned around and couldn’t find anyone. Leon was not behind me Infact he was nowhere to be found.
“Leon… Leon…!” I yelled “Leon stop the prank it’s not funny come out!!!…, Leon!!!” I yelled. I brought my phone out and called his line. It wasn’t reachable what if he had fallen into the river… no he’s a good swimmer.
After searching and searching I couldn’t find him I ran to the rescue center and filed a report. I was crying and wiping already. Leon’s men and guards were Everywhere. Sasha was consoling me.
“He was behind me and all of a sudden… he’s gone…” I cried
“Ma… you have to rest… we will find him and promise to bring your husband back to you…”
“Rest!!!, you expect me to rest when my husband is nowhere to be found…” I stood up going outside
“Madam were are you going!” Sasha asked
“To look for my husband!!!”…
Sasha blocked my way.
“Madam you have to calm down… leave me Leonel to us… we will find him” she said.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Am not going to sit back and do nothing… Leon told me he has lots of enemies… what if…” I burst into tears “He’s all I have… if he leaves me… am no one… am going to find my husband”
I was running Everywhere but the truth is that I didn’t even know where I was going or coming from. Sasha and the other guards followed behind. I kept crying and calling out his name…
One of the guard ran to where Leon was.
“Boss… you have to stop your surprise plan and go to madam… she’s running mad looking for you and crying like hell” he said.
“I told her I have a surprise… so…”
“She thinks your enemies have you… please… she’s crying all over” he said, Leon sigh, he look at the other men.
“Just plan the fireworks and make it show in my signal… take me to her”
Leon watch Gem from afar… she was wiping as if she lost her precious gold… she was walking round and round in circles calling his name. Seeing her like this made his heart ache… fuck his surprise…
Leon walk closer to her.
I was going crazy, my phone started ringing. I have no power or strength to look at the caller. Sasha took the phone from my hands, I was helpless as I fell on the floor sobbing.
“It’s sir Leonel… he’s calling” she said and I grab the phone from her.
“H… he.. llo…” my voice was shaking when I heard the most amazing voice in my life.
“Kitten…” he said… hearing him call me my pet name I couldn’t say anything… I was having mix emotions but tears never stopped running out of my eyes… I wanted to yell and ask him were he is… I wanted to know if he was safe then he said again.
“Kitten…” I sob even more.
Just then fireworks started displaying in the sky. I look up with my teary eyes. It was blur because of the tears in my eyes but I squeeze my eyes dry and look clearly.
