305 The Vow

Ella found it relatively impossible to look at Leon without feeling sorry for him. Her emotions were conflicting and agonizing. A large fraction of her heart wanted to badly deal with Leon, but the other little softened fraction wanted to forgive him and hold him.

However, when these compassionate thoughts arose within Ella’s heart, the face of Xia and the contract Leon signed with her crippled every bit of sympathy left in Ella.

This made Ella shut her ears, and heart to his endless pleas and spew out the venom accumulated in her.

“I do not want to ever see you or talk to you again. You are not welcome to partake in anything concerning me and I do not need your help going forward. I owe you no explanation for anything I choose to do with my life. You have no right to whom I choose as friends whether male or female.”

“Babe, you can’t do this! Please!” Leon’s feet finally unglued themselves and he slowly moved to Ella.

“It’s already done and if you break any one of my rules, then, that will be the end of us,” Ella said firmly. “Now, you have thirty minutes to go in there, pack your stuff and leave.”

Ella carefully avoided his touch as he approached her and hurriedly left the living room for fear of changing her mind.

“Ella!” Leon called out while holding his aching chest. The excruciating pain and fury within him were so much that he felt unsteady as he moved towards a seat and slummed in it. He buried his head in his hands and groaned inwardly as the sting of Ella’s rejection stifled his soul.

“No!” Leon finally lifted his head. “No, I won’t let go of you.” He stood up and went in the direction of the terrace Ella had earlier ran to.

.....

As he got closer to the terrace, unnoticed by either Denise or his crying wife, he stood quietly and listened to the heartwarming confession of Ella.

“Denise, why do I feel like shit? I’m supposed to be mad at that cheating husband of mine but I somehow feel sorry for him,” Ella lamented in Denise’s arms.

“That’s because you still love him, Ella,” Denise whispered. “Love can be heartbreaking at times but when we learn from our mistakes, it waxes stronger. Even though I’m disappointed in your husband and mad at him for cheating on you, I can’t tell you to stop loving him because he’s your first love. It’s not going to be easy living without him but you just need to stay strong.”

“How I wish this were all the dream.” Ella cried harder. “How I wish I could still hold him in my arms. I miss his warm and gentle touch. I miss his cuddles and the way he pampers me. I miss everything about him. But when he comes close to me, I can’t seem to stand him because of his crime. I hate him so much and I love him so much.”

“Shhhh! Ella, please, stop crying. Only time would heal your wounds. Just take things one day at a time. You’ll be fine and I’ll always be here for you.”

Just like a relaxing and rejuvenating waterfall, Ella’s confession melted the anguish in Leon’s heart.

Knowing that she still loved him that much but was too hurt to forgive him filled him with so much hope and happiness. There and then, he decided that he would do everything within his power to win back her heart.

Taking a deep breath, he strolled into the terrace and as expected, met the tigress Denise’s scary glares

“What do you want again?” Denise questioned between gritted teeth while holding Ella firmly in his arms. “Aren’t you tired of hurting your wife? Aren’t you tired of making her cry? She is pregnant Leon and all this crying is not good for her health. Leave her alone at least for now. She is still fragile from the hurt consuming her.”

Leon looked past Denise’s scowls and face-slapping words as he went down on his knee before his crying wife.

“Ella, I know you hate me and I’m the last person you want to see right now. I know what I did is unforgivable and you are right to kick me out of our home. It hurts me to see you this way but I’m grateful you have an amazing friend who is always there for you.”

Leon paused and said a non-verbal, ‘thank you’ to Denise who was left speechless.

“Before I leave, I want to let you know that I do not intend to give up on us. From this day until I leave this world, I vow never to look at any other lady but you. I vow to love only you and be the worthy father to our unborn baby. I vow never to leave your side whether in good or bad times. I vow to send you white roses every morning and sunflowers every evening. I vow to love you even when you hate me and I promise to court you all over again until you fall in love with me.”

Feeling slightly unburdened from his heartache, Leon slowly rose to his feet and spared Ella one last glance before he left the terrace.

Immediately Leon left, Denise breathed out forced air that she didn’t know she had been holding back.

Leon’s apology, his first genuine appreciation, and his pledge took her by surprise. She stared at Ella who was still quietly sobbing in her arm and wondered what was running through her mind.

Unsure of what to say to Ella, she just remained silent and gently stroked her hair until Ella’s sobs gradually ended.

Ella on the other hand was greatly touched by Leon’s vow.

Severally, while he spoke, she was tempted to turn around and look at his face but for some reasons unknown, her head remained glued to Denise’s chest.

Ella knew and believed that Leon meant all he said and to her surprise, she was inwardly expectant of all the promises he just made.
