The CEO is my bodyguard

The closer I walk towards Leon the heavier my steps become.

“See!!, Am not lying!!!”… I quickly pulled him down… I didn’t know what to do… I wish the ground would just open up and swallow me. My eyes met Leonel… his reaction, his emotions I couldn’t read.

“Gem… Gem… it’s… it’s really you!” Ruth said

“I… I…” I didn’t know what to say and Liam hugged my legs smiling

“Daddy… I found mommy… let’s take her home” he pouted. Leon didn’t take his eyes off me. The way he looks at me send fear and shiver into my veins. “Daddy I want to take mommy home please… daddy?, Daddy?” Liam kept on calling.

The car was silent. Liam cling unto me like glue. “Mommy you wont leave me again right?” The question stabbed my heart like a sharp dagger. I blink endlessly not to cry.

“Am sorry!” I manage to say.

“Mommy I don’t want you to leave… Daddy too” he said and my eyes met Leon. He was just plain.

“Liam…” I called him and hugged him. I tried and tried not to cry but it was no used.

“Don’t cry mommy… Grandma said pretty girls shouldn’t cry” he said…

We got to Leon Villa. By then Liam was already asleep. Leon hasn’t said anything to me. He just kept looking at me. I carried Liam.

“I’ll show you to his room!” Ruth said and I nodded and followed her.

It was like heaven… His room was full of many toys countless of book… it was incredible. His bed was… I don’t even know what to call it… it was amazing. Ruth press a button and the bed seem to open like a cover. I place Liam on the bed but he hugged my hands.

“Mommy…” He murmured and smiled. Now I saw the resemblance between him and Leon.

After he was in a deep sleep I pulled his hands away from mine, gave him a kiss on his head and left the room…

Leon was already waiting for me.

“Leon…”

“You hid yourself so well… so you’re just going to show up. And then what” his voice was calm… Really calm and low but I could still feel he was irritated and angry.

“I’ll go… am sorry… I’d… leave” I said

“Why Gem… why!?” He asked with still his calm voice.

“Am not Gem… and I don’t know Gem… she died two years ago…” I said and tears run down my face. I quickly wipe them off. I shouldn’t cry in front of him.

“This is funny!” He said and started laughing… I know he was mocking me.

“I have to go!” I said.

“What about Liam?” He said and my step froze. “How could you be so heartless… so heartless Gem?, He wasn’t even 9months old but you left… you left your child… our child… now he finds you and he’s very calm but your still what?, Going to leave…?, I don’t care about you anymore… I’ve not shot a gun at you only because Liam wants you…, How could you!!!!”

“I didn’t leave okay?”

“Then what did you do?, Oh… I forgot… you died, and reincarnate?!!!!!” His voice was now loud.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“You would never understand Leonel… the guilt I felt… the pains I felt… am not worthy to be his mother… I can’t be his mother… my sins are killing me… yes… and I won’t let him pay for my sins as am doing for my parents…!!!, Am leaving!” I said and walk out of the house.

The next day Liam woke up. He ran out of his room calling his mother…

“Uncle Noah… where is my mom?” He asked, he was shaking all over… at the same time sweating.

“She… she left… don’t… don’t worry… she…”

Liam collapsed on the floor.

“LIAM!!!!!!!!!”…

I couldn’t remember when last I slept for so long. I opened my eyes to see Liam smiling staring at me.

“Mommy… mommy… mommy is awake… daddy look” he said. I returned his smile. My eyes met Leon who was seating at the couch… he look so elegant… so handsome… now I know why Rose came back and still love him after two years. I guess am not different from that Rose… Infact am worse than her. Leon look at me, he frown and look away.

“Mommy do you know… you look like a bunny when you slept… yes like sleeping beauty…” He said

“Oh really… then who is my true love prince?” I ask.

Leon look towards his wife and son… He don’t know why but he wants to. Hear Liam answer.

“Me of course…” He said and Leon’s face turn dark. It was supposed to sound funny but it annoys him.

“Liam… who. Reads you those useless fairytales… they are not really”

“I didn’t ask for your opinion dad” Liam said

“Baby you shouldn’t be rude to your father” I said to Liam and he pouted. He was glaring at his father.

“What?” Leon said glaring back at Liam. The mood was awkward… what do I do.

“Liam?” I called and he turned and look at me.

“Mommy, daddy is going to make you hate me!” He said

“No… I’ll never hate you… I love you”

“So much?” He asked

‘this little boy is going too . far!!!’ Leon thought,

“Yes… much more”

“More than dad?” He asked. I look at Leon but I couldn’t read anything about him nor what he was thinking.

“Yes… more than dad” I said and Liam jumped into my hands.

Leon was so angry. Why was Liam claiming gem like she’s his?, This Liam…

I started feeding Liam. He was so cute and obedient.

“Aww… You’re so cute!” I said and he smiled.

“mooov… viiingg you here is so… so… good” he said with his mouth full of food.

“Liam didn’t they taught you in school not to talk while eating?” Leon yelled.

“Leon don’t yell at him he’s just a kid!” I yelled back at him before I could hold myself.

“Oh… and what do you know about him… as his mother!” He asked mockingly “what’s his favorite food?, Oh… what’s his favorite color?!” He yelled.” you’re just here Gem… don’t you ever think you’ll become he’s mother!” Leon said.

“Leon… can you just stop and no say this in front of him?” I asked looking at Liam but he kept on glaring at his father.

“Daddy stop bullying mom!” He yelled with his tiny voice… Leon sigh before leaving the room.

The room became quiet.

“I like pizza… with lots of cheese… I like blue… and… and… I like my mom!” He said

“Liam… am… am. so sorry… baby… I…”

“I know it all mommy… you left me as a baby… it’s okay… I know you have your reasons… but all that doesn’t matter to me… Now you are back… with me and daddy… you won’t leave again… you won’t go again… right?”

“No… I won’t let them keep me away from you… I won’t!!!!”

Noah drag Sasha to a corner and pointed a gun on her head.

“Better start talking!” He said.

“What do you want?” Sasha asked.

“Two years ago… there was no way Gem would have leave the hospital… what did you do?”

“Noah… you know you’re wasting your time right?”

“I wish I was Sasha!” He said and hit the gun on her neck and she collapse.

“You’re working with someone Sasha and you must tell me!”…
