Chapter 6
- Kelvin ran over to Leon’s house.
- "Bro…what’s up?" he asked.
- "She’s upstairs." he answered.
- "you brought her home….dude, are you insane….what if she finds out your identity?" Kelv said.
- "She won’t….she’s too naïve and easy to fool….she will surely believe whatever I say." Leon said.
- "So, what do you plan to do with her?" Kelv asked.
- "She seems special…I don’t know but there is something unique about her….her aura is strong." He said.
- "I don’t get you?" Kelvin cut in.
- "The IV kept an orphan in their care…don’t you think it’s suspicious?" Leon said.
- "So, what is your plan?" Kelv asked again
- "I'm going to find her identity and use her." Leon said with a smirk.
- "Ooh….so you still want to flirt with her…..what about Rosemary? (Leon’s fiancée)" Kelvin asked.
- But Leon’s face darkened with hearing her name.
- "what about her?"
- "Well……..she…."
- "I don’t want to hear….I’ll go check up on kitten." Leon said about to go.
- "Kitten?....you gave her a pet name already? Bro do you like this girl?" Kelv asked in surprise.
- "Not like that….I just find her cute….don’t mislead me….now get going." Leon said.
- Jolene was kneeling in front of her grandfather and her parents were sitting on a sofa with their heads low.
- "You little brat….I’ve always told you your mouth will put us in trouble!" the old man yelled.
- "But grandpa……!"
- "shut up……how could you let Jolene….talk to Gem about being adopted….in front of her! you know that girl is very important to our business….if she knows who she is we are doomed!" The old man yelled.
- "Father…..Gem will never find out who she is….she was still a baby when her parents died….she can’t possibly remember and besides it’s high time we dump her." Marie said.
- "Shut up your miserable mouth! if only you had controlled this daughter of yours then nothing would have happened!"
- "Dad, what’s done is done….that child is out of our lives….her fortunes and that of her late family is now ours……" He said.
- "Dad, don’t worry….I’ll make sure I take care of her…." Marie said.
- *****************"*
- I woke up and viewed my surroundings. I rubbed my eyes.
- "Where am I?" I tried to remember how I got here but I didn’t seem to remember.
- "Aww…see who's awake….my little kitten!" I heard a voice.
- "Leon!?" I said and jumped from the bed. "where am I? how did we get here? did Jolene's guys hurt you? did they kidnap us? how did we get here? are you……."
- "Kitten relax…. Everything is fine….we are safe…..stop all your questions." He said and caressed my cheeks.
- "I'm…I'm scared." I said as tears gathered in my eyes.
- "Am I not your bodyguard….don’t worry I won’t let harm come your way." He said with a smile. Seeing his smiling face, I felt relaxed.
- "But where are we?" I asked.
- "Oh…..this is my friend's house….he’s very rich….he lets me stay here any time I want, so don’t worry." He said, "Take a rest…."
- "No, I can’t stay here…. I’ll…. I’ll go live with Ruth." I said.
- Leon couldn’t just let her out of his sight."You’ll put Ruth in danger if you go live with her….I won’t be able to protect you….your stepmom must be planning on how to hurt you…." He paused and walked closer to me with a worried look on his face and touched my cheeks again….."Stay here… kitten…." He said seductively, I was falling for him I knew but I had to hold back.
- "Okay," I answered and walked away from him. "I'm hungry…..I want to eat." I said.
- Leon was surprised, wasn’t she supposed to be crying right now because of what her family did to her, she looked happy and acted as if nothing happened.
- I ate to my satisfaction.
- "I have a scene tomorrow with Jolene….I’ll be going to the set." I said.
- "I’ll arrange for that kitten." He said.
- "Okay….bye you can go now." I said trying to lie down.
- "You’re not to tell me what to do…." He said.
- "What!? Ha….Mr. b..o..d..y..g..u..a..r..d…I'm the boss here, so you don’t tell me what to do!" I said but surprisingly he smiled.
- "But the file you signed says so….." He said and handed me a file.
- "What’s that…what again what?!" I yelled.
- "See for yourself, boss." he pointed at the file
- 7. "I will always do as my bodyguard pleases." I read aloud.
- "W…w..what’s this!?" I yelled feeling hot. What he pleases….like if he pleases to…….no…no I can’t think of that…..
- "So kitten…..be a good little kitten and listen to daddy." He said teasingly……
- "Get away from me…..I don’t want a bodyguard anymore…… you’re…you’re fired." I yelled walking back as he was walking towards me….."Stay back."
- "Tsk, tsk, tsk, unfortunately, kitten you can’t fire me. I'm going to leave you whenever I want to….but not tonight." He said and pressed me to the wall. He brought his height low as his lips landed on my neck. A sweet peck hit my neck and I felt my breath go heavy.
- Leon smiled seeing that the little cutie was falling into his palm. He drew back and said to me.
- "Rest now kitten….you have a long day tomorrow."………………….
