A STOLEN KISS FROM THE CEO! - Season 2 Episode 42

Scorpion stood transfixed on a spot and gawked in horror as his two team members, who were standing a few inches away from him, were sprayed from head to toe with bullets from an automatic machine gun.

The horrific sight was something Scorpion had never seen in his entire life. One or two bullets were enough to kill a man when shot in the right spot. However, this was not the case for his partners. It felt as though fifty bullets were emptied into each of their body.

The messy sight of each man’s body slowly fell on the ground with a heavy thud. Blood splatters, broken skin tissue, ruptured skull and brain matter, and shattered eyeballs filament littered the whole place.

The only person left standing was Scorpion and this was due to his proximity to Ella’s unconscious body.

Some fierce-looking heavily armed men dressed in black combat attire, and moving like well-trained soldiers, swiftly approached Scorpion before he had the chance to blink his eyes twice.

One of the men went over to Ella’s side and gently carried her in his arm. Then he barked out orders to his men and left the scene.

“How many of you are there?” A scary-looking man with no soul in his eyes boomed into Scorpion’s ears.

“Huh!” Scorpion said in a daze

SMACK!

…..

POW!

“How many!”

“Twelve, but five are already dead,” Scorpion forced out the words amidst a cracked jaw and a blurry vision.

“Point of correction, ten of you are already dead! You and the other lady we spared would have a beautiful dance with the devil.”

POW!

Scorpion was given a deadly blow to the head with the base of a gun.

Afterward, the scene was speedily cleared before the cops stormed the cinema hall.

——————-

The phone in Leon’s hand fell to the ground as he shook in rage and panic. His heart felt as though it was been smashed, mended, and smashed all over again. Different tormenting scenarios replayed over and over again in his mind, as he thought of the pain Ella must have gone through before she was finally silenced.

He clenched and unclenched his fist, face palmed his forehead severally, and gritted his teeth as thoughts of Ella being manhandled or kidnapped by an unknown enemy clouded his brain.

Ella’s last word, ‘help’, kept reverberating in his head, and the fact that he wasn’t there to protect his angel was more tormenting than anything he could ever imagine.

After a few seconds of shock, Leon stormed into the cockpit of the plane and spoke in a hoarse tone.

“How many minutes more until we get to Amzone city?”

“Forty-five minutes, Sir!” The pilot replied in a terrified voice.

The dreadful look on Leon’s face was so evil that the pilot felt his soul abandon his body in a flash.

“You better make it less if you want to live!” Leon said between clenched jaw. Right now, he wished he had a teleportation power so that he could rescue his precious wife.

“Sir!” The flight attendant called out to Leon

“What!” Leon boomed in a fierce tone. His breathing was heavy and labored as though he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

“Your phone is ringing, Sir!” The flight attendant handed Leon his phone with trembling hands.

Leon briskly walked towards her and snatched the phone from her hands angrily. When he saw the caller, his darkened expression softened a little bit.

“Sky, please give me some good news,” Leon said in a calm but pleading voice.

“She is safe, Sir!”

“Yes!” Leon threw his hurt arm in the air in happiness and winced slightly in pain.

“The only negative report is…”

Leon held his breath as he dreaded the worse.

“…she was punched in the face and she is currently unconscious.”

Leon’s breathing became heavy again. Only this time, he started panting like a bloodthirsty lion.

“Did you secure the camera footage of the hall? I need to know who punched her.” Leon clicked his finger and a drink was quickly brought to him, which he swallowed in a single gulp.

“Yes, I did. However, I think we killed the person who punched her during the rescue mission. Nonetheless, we kept two of her attackers in our custody pending your arrival.”

“Good. I’ll see you in the next few minutes. Just take my wife home.” Leon ended the call and leaned on his seat to relax his strained nerves.

————

Ella inhaled a sharp nauseating alcoholic smell that caused her to struggle a little before she jerk up in a panic.

“No, please! Please!! Don’t hurt me!” She cried out in fear. She had no idea where she was or what they planned on doing to her.

“Babe, I’m here! It’s okay! Shhhhh!” Leon quickly took her into his arm and cuddled her, while stroking her hair lovingly.

“Leon! You came for me! You came for me! I thought I was a gonna!” Ella shook terribly in his arms and held him tightly as if her life depended on it.

In Ella’s panic-driven mind, she thought that she was within enemy territory, and aside from Leon, everyone present in her bedroom was conspiring to hurt her.

Leon gave a brief signal and everyone quickly left Ella’s bedroom, including the doctor.

“I’m sorry, babe!” Leon showered her face and head with kisses. “I shouldn’t have left you! I thought I’d lost you!” A few tears escaped Leon’s eyes. “You scared the living shit out of me! I’m so sorry that this happened to you.”

“Are you sure that I’m not dreaming? You’re not supposed to be in the city by now. You’re supposed to be far away, having your business meeting,” Ella said in a doubtful tone. She pulled away from Leon’s arms and stared into his eyes. “Am I dreaming?”

Leon gazed tenderly into her wet eyes. Her slightly cut and reddened eyebrows that she sustained from the punch riled him so much. He leaned closer and kissed her wound softly.

“You are not in a dream. We are inside your bedroom at home. Does it hurt?” Leon softly stroked the scar on her eyebrow.

“Not much! Although my head hurts.” Ella spoke softly and smiled when she finally realized that she was indeed in her bedroom. “Thanks for rescuing me.”

“No, I should thank you for being my better half and a brave lady.” Leon cupped her face and kissed her on the lips.
