A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

284 Frenzy

Very early the next morning, Ella slowly rose from her bed holding her head in both hands. She felt her joints knot and her muscle ache terribly causing her to sway in pain.

Even though the room temperature was very comfortable and conducive, her quivering body felt a strange chill and heat possessing her entire being.

“Ouch!”

She bit down on her lower lips as an unbearable migraine made her face twist and scrunch in various ways. It felt as though her eyes had turned to rock and were about to fall freely from the socket.

Also, she noticed that her body heat had risen to an abnormal level. It felt as though she had been cooking in a caldron for almost an hour

“What is happening to me?”

Ella ransacked her brain in search of an answer to how she finally found sleep the previous night, after wrestling invisible enemies.

Unfortunately, nothing relevant came to her mind. Instead, the migraine seemed to have doubled or even tripled its intensity.

The more she forced her brain to think, the more it felt as though her head was about to explode.

.....

Seeing that it was useless to force her uncooperative body to work properly, she sat back on the bed and tried to lie down.

However, lying down didn’t seem to help in any way. Instead, she felt as though an invisible hand was wrapped around her neck and choking the air out of her lungs. This made her situation turn from bad to worse.

“Ouch! Am I dying!”

Ella massaged her pounding head in agony. Her breathing was becoming hotter and more difficult by the second and it felt as if she was about to pass out.

Using all her remaining strength, she reached out for the red button by her bed and pressed it with all her might become she succumbed to the unforgiving forces holding her down.

Leon was just stepping out of the shower and about to dry his hair when he heard two of his phone ringing off the hook in his bedroom.

As if that wasn’t weird enough, someone was banging at his bedroom door consistently.

“Mr. Leon!” Ida shouted at the top of her voice while drumming on the door as though the roof of the mansion was on fire.

Knock!

Knock!!

Knock!!!

“What the hell!”

Leon briskly threw a thick bathrobe over his nude body and stormed towards his bedroom door. He quickly unlocked and opened it wide only to see a disoriented Ida, standing and trembling by the entrance to his bedroom.

“Ida, you better have a good excuse...”

“I...it’s m...mmm...madam Ella, sir,” Ida said in a trembling voice.

Leon, who was about to rain fire and thunder on Ida for disturbing his peace instantly felt his heart do a fatal summersault.

Seeing the horror in Ida’s eyes and her quivering body only meant the worse could have happened to his wife.

Acting on impulse, Leon grabbed Ida by her arms, gripping them tight and making her wince in pain.

“Speak!” He thundered. “What happened to my wife?”

“She was found unconscious on her bed and Paul thinks she passed out due to a high fever,” Ida cried as the fear of her boss and the horror of losing the boss’s wife consumed her.

“What!” Leon’s bulging eyes almost popped out of the socket.

“Paul and John have been trying to call you. They said an ambulance arrived some few minutes ago at the mansion and has taken her to the hospital.”

Like a man on a hundred meters race for his life, Leon let go of Ida to speedily dress up while spewing instruction after instruction.

“Ida, quickly, inform Austin to get the car ready immediately and give him the name of the hospital my wife was taken to.”

“Yes, sir!” Ida hurriedly left her boss’s presence to do his bidding.

Within two minutes of receiving the bad news about his wife’s condition, Leon was seen sprinting down the stairs toward the exit of his mansion like a man chasing the wind.

“Get into the car and start the engine, idiot!” Leon boomed at Austin, who was opening the passenger door and waiting on him.

Like a frightened kitten, Austin rushed to the driver’s side of the car and quickly got in.

When Leon stormed into the car and slammed the door shut, he growled in a deep terrifying voice and struck the driver seat of the car.

“Move!”

“Yes, Sir!” Austin, who was already sweating profusely under terror, turned on the car ignition, speedily put the gear lever on the drive mode, and sped out of the mansion premises, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

“Austin, driver faster!” Leon boomed in fury.

“Yes, sir!” Austin stepped on the accelerator driving at a high speed of 100 to 120 km per hour, while swerving from one side of the road to the other, to overtake other vehicles.

Leon on the other hand, felt as though the Earth had stopped spinning and the world was about to collapse before his eyes. His darkened and bloodshot eyes were filled with the horror of losing his precious wife. His heart was heavy and racing with a million dreadful thoughts. His mind was clouded with a terrifying fog, as the memories of losing Ruth all those years back came flooding in, like an unforgiven skyscraper ocean wave.

“Oh God, please, let nothing happen to my wife. Please, save her and keep her safe for me.”

Leon, who never believed in the existence of a supreme God due to so many losses in his life, found himself praying fervently for Ella to be safe.

Within almost seven minutes of driving which felt like seven hours to Leon, the car finally pulled over at the driveway of the Emerald International Hospital.

Without a second to spare, Leon quickly opened the passenger door of his car and jump down. He rushed towards the reception hall of the hospital, unaware of the many feminine eyes that were gawking lustfully at him in excitement.
