The CEO is my bodyguard

******

The man push me down…

“What do you want?” I said. But the man smiled… I was scared to death. This is not good. I tried to stand up but he drag my legs back and pulled me to himself.

“Let me go… help… help … please… somebody… help me” I cried but he slapped me and punch my stomach… I cried in pains.

“Stupid girl” he whispered.

“Please… please don’t hurt me… please I didn’t do anything wrong… I swear… please sir…” I cried as I drag my painful body on the floor trying to get away from him.

“Shut up…” he said and grab me… his rough hands hurt my skin as I struggled to break free…

“Let me go… let me go…” I yelled. But he but a dirty rag on my nose and mouth as I doze off. I felt him carry me on his shoulders… I felt helpless… no one would come for me… maybe this is my end.

Leon called his assistant.

“Release my special force and find the girl I sent you her pictures” he said

“But sir we can’t…”

“Just do as I say and make sure you find her… in 15 minutes if you don’t want to lose your head” Leon yelled.

‘Gem please be safe… hang in there … Am coming’ he thought.

Leon drove to carry Kelvin.

“Dude what’s the fizz all about?” he said

“Gem she’s missing I can’t find her and…”

“I know but why did you release your special force… you only send them for people you care about… and… hold on… bro don’t tell me you’ve started liking that girl?????” Kelvin said and Leon hold the accelerator causing poor Kelvin who was not wearing his seat belt to crash his nose on the glass.

Leon felt uneasy inside.

*Wait… its true??!!, you’re liking her?!!!” he yelled againContent © NôvelDrama.Org.

“No… no way… I… I just pity her… she not even my type” he said and even after saying that he felt uneasy.

Then his phone rang

“Hello… I’ll be there”

“What???” Kev asked

“They found her… let’s go” he said and did a U-turn Kelvin hit his head over and over again..

Leon’s car drove with full speed. Kelv what his friend weird behavior… he knew something was off… it’s either he like her and he doesn’t notice or he likes her and he’s afraid to let it show.

The got to an abandoned car wash. Leon spring out of his car.

“Sir…” The man bowed to Leon.

“Were is she?” he asked

“In the car… your doctor is examining her… she have lots of injuries on her body just minor injuries but she’s in a deep sleep” he said and Leon frown and ran to the car. His doctor was treating her wounds. Her fair smooth body was now covered with injuries and some parts were red. Seeing her like this made Leon heart hurt. He sigh as he looks sad, angry and felt guilty. Kelvin studied his friend… this is unlike him… there is only in thing here… he’s starting to like Gem… and he won’t let that happen. His cousin is Leon’s fiancée and even though she’s far away he won’t let another girl still Leon away from her.

Leon sat on the car and put her head on his legs.

“She was drugged… it’s a pain killer drugs what will help you not feel anything even when you’re dying… but don’t worry she’ll wake up in a few days” the doctor said.

“I don’t want scares on her body… threat her well” Leon said and stroke her hair. The doctor nodded.

The second day Leon was at his office when he received a call.

“What??, she’s awake??, am on my way” he said

Leon go home in no time.

When he entered Gem room he stood by the door as they both stare at each other.

Tears gather inside my eyes and I felt relief to see Leon. I felt safe.

“Don’t just stand there… come here” I said but he didn’t move… his gaze was soft, worried and full of guilt. “Come here…” I said and he walked slowly to me. I limp up and hug his neck.

“What took you so long… I thought you said you’d protect me… why didn’t you come immediately when I called your name… Leon I was so scared… I thought you wouldn’t come… I thought you said you won’t let harms come my way… you promised… but why were you late… I was so scared… I thought I’d die” I cried and Leon stroke my back.

“Yes… it’s all my fault… am sorry… am here now and am never going anywhere… You’re here in my arms” he said.

I cried for long before letting go of his neck.

“Feeling better?” he asked still stroking my back.

“My body ache me… it hurts” I said.

“It’s okay… Gem… did you see his face?” he asked… Leon knew it was too early to asked… I should rest first but he couldn’t bring himself to relax and do nothing… when someone hurt his kitten.

Try to remember the face I shiver in fear.

“It’s too scary I don’t want to remember” I said shaking my head.

“Kitten… I have to catch him… and kill him with my own hands for hurting you… I won’t forgive him… Please tell me” he said

“Ok… ok … he… he has a scar on the left side of his mouth… he… he is very strong… his face is so scary and… and… Leon I can’t” I cried.

“It’s okay you’ve said enough… rest now” he was about to leave but I hold his sleeve.

“Don’t go… stay please” I said and he lye down close to me and smiled stroking my cheeks.

After seeing she have gone to sleep Leon slide off the bed and called his assistant.

“You guessed right… he is the man… Capture him… alive… and…” just then Gem was having a nightmare.

“Uhmm no… please… Leon help me… no Leon…” he ran and hold her hands.

“It’s okay am here… I’ll protect you” he whispered and kissed her forehead. Whoever you are, you dare hurt my kitten… I’ll surely make you pay.
