80 Moonlight Romance

The bluish full moon shone brightly up in the heavens. Its powdery synodic orbit of floating reverie, depicted the heart’s reflection as mirrored by the black glistening sea. It knows the perils of lost souls and gently guide them through the darkness into the glaring light. Its magical light cast enchanting beams of dancing hearts as dreamers sailed into the dark starry night.

In the middle of the dark sea, Leon and Ella stood by the rail of Leon’s white yacht, moon and star gazing. They were both donned in simple flawless white attires which sparkled under the brightness of the moonlight. They were enjoying a night sailing cruise in the mesmerizing sea which shared the same boundary with Leon’s Villa.

.....

Earlier, when they both arrived from the hospital, Leon encouraged Ella to take a cold shower and eat something to calm her nerves. He could tell that she was heavily depressed by Maggie’s state. He thought of a way to cheer her up and take her mind off everything happening around her. After several minutes of contemplation, he smiled as an ingenious ideas struck him.

When they were done having dinner together, they both sat out by the terrace; were they shared a bottle of wine. After chatting about the day’s work and Ella’s martial art training section, Leon suggested that they should hangout in the open sea.

Ella was so delighted that she happily threw herself in Leon’s arms and showered his face with kisses. This was going to be her first yacht cruise and she couldn’t wait for it to get started.

At about 9:00 PM Leon and Ella set sail alone on the open sea.

.....

“Ella,” Leon warm and soft breath brushed past her ears, as he held her firmly from behind, “I’m sorry for the way your mum treated you today. You deserve the best in this world and I will ensure you get all of it.” He slowly turned her around to face him and gazed into her shimmering eyes. Using his thumb, he wiped away the tears that escaped her eyes.

.....

“My love, I want to be yours as the moon belongs to the night.” Leon eyes glinted with deep desires and love. “You are the light that awakens my spirit. You are the deepest reflection of my heart desires. Your innocent and pure love has brought peace to my troubled soul. Hence, I will love you till infinity and back.”

Ella couldn’t stop the tears from pouring down her eyes as Leon professed undiluted love to her under the moonlight. All the hatred and animosity in her heart, created by Maggie, gently washed away like flowing water. She felt peace and love. She could see her whole world in Leon’s sparkling eyes.

“Leon...” Ella throat was clogged with a lot of emotions that words failed her.

Leon kiss her lips tenderly and continued with professing his undying love for her.

“Ella, there is a side of me that only you can tame. You can call it pure evil but you alone have the key to lock and unlock it at will. I would kill ruthlessly for you. I will die for you. My heart belongs to only you. My heart bleeds a thousand times whenever you cry. Please, do not ever push me away. It would simply kill me.”

“Oh, Leon, what did I ever do to deserve your love?” Ella kept sobbing unable to contain her overwhelming emotions. “I must have made an angel smile to be blessed with you. You are everything to me. You’re my life! You are the breath I take in! You’re my world! I love you more than anything in this world.” Ella’s voice turned into a whisper as she leaned closer and locked Leon’s lips in a passionate kiss.

They gently explored each other’s bodies like it was their first time of been intimate with one another. There was no hurry as they had the whole night to themselves.

Leon took his time exploring and tasting every part of Ella as he gently laid her down on the exterior customized boat deck cushions. He careful took off her clothes while nibbling and sucking everything his hungry eyes beheld. From her full luscious and wet lips, to her light pink hardened nipple and then her dripping wet core, Leon’s whole body was set ablaze in an unextinguishable fire.

It was as though Leon was drunk by her sweats, her pleasurable cries and her tears. Every part of her tasted like a honeydew and he desperately wanted to be consumed by her love.

Ella pleasurable moans filled the calm night as the brightly shining moon captured their twirling and dancing naked bodies.

They went on and on for hours non-stop, filling up every dry well of desire in their hearts.

Finally exhausted and fulfilled, Leon took Ella in his arms, into the inner deck; where they had a peaceful night rest.

By morning, the couple returned to the villa feeling rejuvenated.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ella didn’t bother going to check up on Maggie. Instead, she went straight to the doctor’s office and got the positive report she needed. She inormed the doctor that Maggie was to be discharged and handed over to Reuben.

.....

The previous day, Olivia had called informing Maggie that she was having pregnancy related stress, hence she needed her around. She further cajoled Maggie into believing that she might lose her pregnancy if not placed on bed rest.

Fortunately Maggie agreed to come over as she couldn’t stand anything bad happening to her precious Olivia. She decided that when Olivia felt better, she would return to Amzone city to complete her mission with Ella.

...

“Where is Ella?” Maggie questioned Reuben after exchanging pleasantries with him.

“Oh, she left after handing over your luggage.” Reuben said blankly. “She said something about running late for an urgent meeting. So, how do you feel,” he quickly changed the line of discussion as he observed a quick change in Maggie’s facial expression.

“I’m feeling much better,” Maggie sighed deeply as she understood Reuben’s reason for changing the topic of discussion. She had great respect and admiration for Reuben and his wonderful family. Hence, she decided not to talk about Ella again until she was all alone with Olivia.

When Maggie was finally discharged, she left the hospital happily chatting away like nothing was amiss.

Ella watched her mum leave through the security footage in the head doctor’s office. She was angry and happy at the same time. Her mum was looking like her cheerful self as Reuben led her out of the hospital.

Ella fantasize Leon and Maggie bonding together just the same way Maggie related with Olivia’s husband.

Ever since the day Olivia had introduce Reuben Newman to Maggie, Maggie had loved and appreciated him like her own son. She gave her blessing to the union and never stopped reminding Ella to learn a thing or two from Olivia’s wise decision.

After a busy day at the office, Jane was about leaving when she was asked to see the Chief Operating Officer. She did as instructed while wondering what Miss Denise had to say to her.

All day, Jane had been receiving nothing but commendation after commendation from her boss. Even when other staff went for their one hour lunch break, she sat back to finish up a task that was handed directly to her by Abby. Afterwards, Abby was so impressed with the completed assignment that she even recommend Jane for the weekly salary bonus.

When Jane got to Denise’s office, the secretary ushered her in after informing her boss of Jane’s presence.

“Ah, Jane, you’re welcome! Please take a seat!” Denise smiled while scrutinizing Jane with eagle eyes.

“Thank you, ma’am,” Jane smiled bewitchingly, activating her baby face charms.

“I have been hearing good reports about you and that has picked my interest in you.” Denise smile vanished and was replaced by an intense stare. “You’re barely a week old and yet you’ve managed to work your way up into the CEO’s good book. Tell me, what are your plans and strategies for this company.”

For some reasons Denise couldn’t explain, she didn’t warm up to Jane’s charms. She could sniff a foul attribute beneath those facades of Jane’s beauty.

Earlier, when Ella had confided in Denise about Jane White and how much zealousness Jane had shown ever since she resumed work, Denise’s danger antenna started beeping. She became curious to learn more about Jane. Hence, she started digging into Jane past and present life. She didn’t want Ella to be deceived by anymore wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Jane stared at Denise innocently with her sparkling deep blue eyes. “Ma’am, I just want to work hard and fulfill my dream of being a great fashion designer. I believe in hard work and dedication to my job. Ever since I could remember, I have toiled to prove myself to the world.” Jane’s eyes became watery. “I grew up in an orphanage where life was so hard and cruel. Hence, I promised myself that I will stand out wherever I find myself in life.” Jane allowed some tears to roll down her cheek.

“You grew up in an orphanage!” Denise’s eyes widened as she handed a tissue to Jane to wipe her face. “I never knew that! So sorry about it. You know, we all have a terrible past.” Denise sat back while maintaining an intense focus on Jane.

“Take for example, the CEO of this company. She worked for the rival company, a few blocks from here. They used, cheated and humiliated her. However, she rose above her challenges and you can see her story today. Nevertheless, there are people out there who still wish to hurt her especially the rival company. I know they will keep scheming until they put this company down. Hence, I will let you in on a secret. We are so ready for them. Anyone who decides to betray this company we will meet a cruel fate.”

Denise picked up a little alarm on Jane’s teary but smiling face. “You will be joining us for a late dinner this evening. The CEO’s husband would like to meet the talented designer that has caught his wife’s interest.
