Chapter 52

52 Room 406 [Warning:Mature Content]

Chloe knew that going through Marissa was a no-go area. Marissa already saw her as a night hustler, due to her dilemma of drug binging and wild sex with a total stranger.

She didn’t care about Marissa’s opinion anymore. After all, Leon’s unceremonious marriage to Ella shows that Marissa had no say in his choice of women.

So, Chloe decided to find a weak link in Ella’s family or friends.

Most family or friends always had an aggrieved individual who in search of an audience would consciously or unconsciously become a betrayer.

With the help of her father’s minions, she got all the information she wanted easily. Her father had earlier promised her to make Ariella disappear at the right time without creating any suspicion in the Treshvire family.

Chloe’s impatience always got the best of her. She contacted Richard and set an appointment with him.

At exactly 11:00 AM, she walked into a hotel lobby with some new bodyguards given to her by her father. She requested the bodyguards to remain in the lobby while she took the elevator to room 406 on the 5th floor.

On getting to the room, she lightly tapped on the door and a handsome man opened it and let her in.

Richard smiled lustfully as he appreciated Chloe’s enchantress beauty.

.....

When Chloe had called him earlier that morning, – claiming to be Leon’s ex-girlfriend that he dumped for Ella, – he was anxious to meet with her. He never expected her to be this breathtaking.

He sat down on the bed and offered her a seat opposite while he gawked at her flirtatiously.

“First things first, you are one beautiful goddess. Leon must definitely be out of his mind to let a girl like you slip through his fingers.” Richard complimented Chloe with the hopes of having her grace his bed.

Chloe was more delicate and sophisticated when compared to that scheming and nefariously minded Susan. Susan was not useful in any way except for wild and disgusting sex.

To Richard, Chloe was a better upgrade after Ariella. Ever since he found out about Ariella’s hidden marriage to Leon, Richard’s cravings for sex with any random girl quadrupled.

When Chloe noticed the lustful look in Richard’s eyes, she smirked wickedly. To think that Ariella’s ex-boyfriend found her enticing and also took her to bed would strike a big blow to Ariella’s face.

“How about I give you what your eyes and body crave for,” Chloe stood up and walked provocatively toward him. She slowly removed the scarf around her neck in a seductive way. Using one finger she pushed Richard to lie back on the bed. She gently laid on his body and started teasing him. “And in return, I want you to break Ella and Leon’s relationship. You get back your Ella and I get back my Leon. Everybody wins. What would you say to that deal?”

“I would say that’s the best deal I’ve ever had,” Richard responded lustfully. He quickly grab onto her waist and satisfied his sexual urge.

After spending almost two hours in Richard’s room, Chloe left the hotel with her bodyguards.

A few minutes after Chloe left, Richard came out of the room and left the hotel premises. He was unaware of two spies, lurking in the shadows and monitoring everything he had done.

One of the spies followed him out of the hotel, while the other; who had lodged in room 407 on the same floor, gained access into room 406. He took pictures of the events that have taken place in the room.

The spy also had audio records of the discussion that took place in the room with the use of sophisticated electronic gadgets. He forwarded the audio records and pictures he had taken to Leon. In the pictures, Chloe was captured entering and leaving room 406.

...

Leon was pulling into his second house driveway when he got the strangest call. He stared at the caller contact on the phone in disbelief.

It was Nana Esther. “Hello Bubble.” Her voice was calm and peaceful like a gentle breeze blowing a cherry blossom tree.

“Hello Grandma, it’s so great to hear your beautiful voice.” Leon felt instantly peaceful on hearing his Nana’s voice. She was one woman that had mystical healing power. Leon practically worshipped her.

Nana Esther was Leon’s paternal and only surviving grandma. She was a grey hair frail but mentally strong woman in her early nineties. Leon’s bond with his Nana was stronger than that of his dad. He idolized her. She had the wisdom of Solomon, the fierceness of Zeus, and the smartness of Athena; the Greek goddess of war and wisdom.

Nana Esther always had a word of wisdom for every encounter in life. It was as though she continually communed with the spirit world before making any concrete decision. She was never biased or partial. She said it the way it was irrespective of who was involved.

When Marissa called her the previous day complaining about Leon’s stubbornness, she had simply said, she would talk to him. Fulfilling her promise, she called Leon the next day.

“I’ve missed you so much Bubble. Your mum tells me you’re married. Can both of you come to visit me over the weekend? And that is if you’re free?”

Nana Esther knew and understood her grandson very well, more than his parents did. She also had her unique and calm way of making Leon listen to her.

“That would be great Nana! I look forward to introducing my wife to you.” Leon’s face beamed with excitement.

“Until then, be a good boy like you’ve always been. Bye Bubble.”

“Bye Nana.”

Leon sat back in his car, reminiscing on his beautiful childhood memories with his Nana. He remembered when he lost his first love and how Nana comforted him. She was the only one in the family who knew that his wounds were healed on the surface. She also encouraged him that someone extraordinary would bump into his life accidentally and turn things around.

Thinking about this now, it was as though Nana Esther had foreseen his accidental meeting with Ariella.

Like an excited and fascinated child with a Christmas wish expectation, Leon couldn’t wait for the weekend to come around. He couldn’t wait to show off his beautiful Ariella to his Nana. Ariella’s love was gradually mending his broken heart.

The thought of Ariella flooded his being with emotions and desire. He didn’t mind being locked up with her for a whole year. Everything about her makes him feel alive.

He alighted his car and went straight into his house. When he asked around for Ariella, he was told she was swimming in the pool.

He quickly tidied up and went to join her.

Ariella was taking a breaststroke like a professional swimmer when someone dived into the pool. She repositioned herself in the water to look at who it was but was met by Leon’s affectionate gaze.

Leon had already swam to her side and his hands were wrapped around her waist.

“I’ve missed you so much,” he showered her face and mouth with kisses.

“I’ve missed you too,” Ella spoke amidst tongues tangling and twirling in Leon’s mouth.

When her hands roved over his body, she noticed he was naked.

“Leon! Not here... The house staff...” Leon had already taken off her bikini. He seemed unbothered by her worries.

“Agh!...”

“Leon!...”

“Calm down Ella!... Ah!... Just a little more...yeah!”

Ella squirming and light pushes were distractive. Leon lifted her out of the pool and placed her delicately on a pool bed.

“Relax! No one is watching.” His voice was husky. “The glass is a two-way mirror. No one can see us from outside.” He reassured her amidst crazy affectionate kisses.

Ella was not completely convinced. But the heated passion inside her made her throw caution to the wind. Leon was driving her crazy, as he licked and sucked every erogenous zones in her body.

The two love birds twisted and turned, entangled in each other’s arms like anaconda snakes in a mating ball.

She gasped for air as her body shook, erupting into Leon’s mouth. Her juice was the most intoxicating wine Leon had ever tasted. He took her with her legs raised, grinding like a Bugatti Chiron super sport engine.

Ella’s wild cries and moans made him drive her harder.

After four rounds of crazy lovemaking, they both locked themselves in each other’s arms panting.

Leon’s warm breath on Ella’s body mixed with the cold air coming from the cool shaded pool was like bathing in a hot spring on a winter night.

“Ella,” Leon planted a soft kiss on her forehead as he stroked her nude body. “I can’t seem to get enough of you. You drive me crazy with each second of being close to you. I don’t think I can ever let you go.”

Leon’s last statement troubled Ella greatly. Sex had not been part of the contract conditions. But she couldn’t help it. She desired Leon crazily, just like he wanted her.

If Leon was feeling this way at barely two weeks of their marriage, what would happen when the contract was over? She still had her family to return to.

She prayed silently in her heart that when that time came, Maggie and Marissa would reconsider their decision. She was hopelessly in love with Leon and a divorce or separation from Leon might kill her.

Feeling the cold air on their nude bodies, Leon stood up and gently lifted Ella into his arms. He took her to the pool bathroom where they both had a warm shower.

Dressed in pool bathrobes, they both strolled hand-in-hand to the dining room for an early dinner.

Over the dinner table, Leon informed Ella about his Nana’s intentions, which she warmly accepted. He also informed her that they were returning to the villa that night.

Leon also reminded her not to forget the contraceptive pills he gave her earlier. He didn’t want to take any chances. Last night’s lovemaking with her was without any protection. And he had stressed that she must never get pregnant. He had no plans of becoming a father at the moment.

Leon was just rounding up his dinner when he received some messages on his phone. He scrolled through the pictures and messages, and his mood turned sour. Not wanting Ella to listen to the audio message, he excused himself from the dining room.

When he had secured his home office, he listened to the audio message with rapt attention. A devilish grin crossed his face when he was done listening to the audio messages and looking at all the pictures.

It is indeed a true saying that, when mother nature gives you hybrid lemons, you make a mean lemonade that would cause heads to roll.
