THE REJECTED HUSBAND - CHAPTER 24&25
★CHAPTER 24~25★
————–
His lips moved gently on her succulent lips as her hands kept gripping tightly on the hem of her gown.
She didn’t kiss him back as she was still in a big shock, her eyes were closed as he kissed her softly and gently.
His hands were moving on her waist, caressing the buds there. She felt her heart beating fast.
He suddenly stopped kissing her and he broke the kiss slowly.
Her eyes opened and immediately it landed on his, she quickly looked away but he held her face and turned it to him.
“I love how your lips tasted” He said sweetly.
“Sir….”
“Don’t say anything” He smiled and she nodded.
“I don’t regret kissing you even now” He said and she smiled slowly.
Their eyes kept staring into each other till she suddenly coughed and stood up from his laps.
She took the kitchen island and walked out.
Leonardo leaned on the chair and he started smiling widely when he remembered the kiss.
He closed his eyes and exhaled softly..
Emiliana got to the kitchen and after doing the dishes, she started staring at nothing in particular.
“Second kiss” She muttered and touched her lips.
“He’s a good kisser” She uttered, replaying the scene earlier in her head.
<ADRIANA’S MANSION**
“Will you keep being angry with me?” Bianca asked Adriana as they ate dinner. She didn’t go to the mansion.
No one will care anyway. She thought about that and sighed sadly.
“I love you and you know I’m the only person that can tolerate you, I can’t support what you did and you see what I told you it got backfired, you are so lucky the company didn’t go down, you will regret it later in the future if Leonardo finally lose interest in you and started seeing another woman, I know how jealous we women can be” Adriana said and Bianca looked at her.
“You don’t know anything” She muttered.
“Yes, I don’t know anything but I know what I’m saying” Adriana said.
“File for a divorce, stop displeasing yourself just because you want to remain as the CEO of the company, you don’t love Leonardo so what is the use staying in such a toxic marriage, not like he’s maltreating you but it’s a loveless marriage or should I say one sided love marriage, think about it bestie, give up on the company and be happy”
“I can’t”
“You are so stubborn, I know you won’t listen to me, are you staying over?”
“No, I will leave after eating” Bianca replied and Adriana nodded.
<ALESSIA’S MANSION**
Riccardo took the cooking apron away from his body and started dishing out what he cooked.
As a thank you to Alessia for helping in the company he offered to prepare dinner for her.
Alessia was eagerly waiting for him in the dining room.
He set everything on the kitchen island and took out a chilled juice from the fridge. He walked out and went to the dining room. Alessia was pressing her phone while waiting for him. She was smiling as she kept pressing her phone. Her nose suddenly caught a whiff of the food and she looked up.
“Rick” She called and dropped her phone.
“Lessia” He called.
“Can you call me that again?” She smiled.
“Lessia” He called and she blushed.
He set the dishes on the table and Alessia couldn’t stop salivating.
“I’m salivating already, I wonder how it would taste” She said and took a fork.
“Easy” He said and she smiled.
“I’m hungry” She pouted and tasted a spoon.
Alessia closed her eyes slowly and started chewing.
“OMG!!!! So sweet” She said and opened her eyes.
“You should open up a restaurant” She said and he chuckled.
“Stop exaggerating Lessia” He said.
“I’m not, you are the best” She said and started eating fast… She didn’t notice that Riccardo wasn’t eating but had been staring at her since, she finally looked up and saw him staring.
“You are not eating? Are you okay?” She asked and stopped eating.
Riccardo suddenly took her hand and kissed the back of it. Alessia felt her loud heartbeats and her heart started beating so fast. His eyes were on her lips which were stained with the oil but to him it was the cutest sight to behold. He felt his sanity leaving him but he quickly got it back.
She kept staring at him as he caressed her hand.
Why’s he suddenly acting so emotional? Is there something going on in his head?
“Can I hug you?” He asked gently and she felt her heart melting.
“Yes” She answered immediately.
*****
Leonardo was yet to sleep so he was still in the living room with a singlet on. He was drinking as he sat on a stool before the cellar. He was aware that Bianca wasn’t home but he didn’t know how to locate her.
He was still on it when the door opened and Bianca came in. He turned his eyes towards the door and saw her there.
He looked away from her direction and continued drinking.
She stared at him shortly before she started going upstairs but she stopped at the first step and turned her eyes to where he was.
“Good night” She said and Leonardo instantly choked on his drink, some of it spilled out of his mouth, falling on his singlet. He looked at Bianca shockingly.
She smiled lightly and walked away.
“When did that one start?” He asked.
<NEXT MORNING**
Leonardo came out of the kitchen cos he woke up before anyone in the mansion. He made breakfast, he came out with a cup and unexpectedly he met Bianca in the room.
“Good morning” She smiled, looking at the cup in his hand.
“Okay, this is getting out of hand” He muttered and started leaving but Emiliana appeared and he stopped.
“Sir Leonardo, good morning” She said.
“Emiliana, here I made this for you” He said and Emiliana excitedly took the cup from him.
“You made tea for me?” She smiled.
“Yeah, there’s bread in the dining room” He smiled and walked away.
Bianca folded her fist and her mind quickly did a flashback to when Leonardo prepared breakfast for her and she poured everything away. She looked at Emiliana and felt bad.
“Do you think you will be able to take my husband away from me? You are just a maid” Bianca said and Emiliana looked at her.
“Husband?? Seriously” Emiliana laughed and walked away.
“What!!!” Bianca huffed angrily, looking at her backside.
<FEW MINUTES LATER**
Leonardo got downstairs and started walking to the door when Bianca suddenly blocked him.
“What is it?” He asked.
She stepped closer and her hands went to his tie.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“Adjusting it for you” She smiled.
“Are you sure you are not mistaking me for another person? This is Leonardo Adalberto, the guy you h@?? so much” He asked and she swallowed hard.
“You are acting weird, come back to your senses, please” He said and pushed her hands away.
He walked out immediately and Bianca stood there, she covered her face and started releasing sighs into her palms.
“Why can’t I control myself?”
<LORENZO’S OFFICE**
There were many documents on his table cos he skipped work just to be with Emiliana. He didn’t regret it anyway. It was worth the moment.
He’s done with the last document and he sighed, he has been thinking about her even when he was working on the documents.
This is more than just ordinary lust. He hasn’t f-__-k for days now and the usual horniness isn’t there. She’s doing things to him without even trying.
He got his phone and dialed her number, she answered after the second ring.
“Bad boy” She said and his heart raced madly.
“Emilia” He smiled.
“Are you busy?” He asked.
“No, why?”
“I wanna come over to the mansion” He said.
“Why? Are you missing me that much?” She asked, laughing.
“I’m coming now” He said and hung up.
He smiled and stood up, he went out of the office and met his secretary.
“Cancel the next meeting” He said and without waiting he walked away.
He got into his car and drove out, he branched into a store and later came out with a bag. He put it on the other seat before driving to Leonardo’s mansion.
He met Emiliana in the living room cos she was waiting for him.
“Emiliana” He called her full name and quickly hugged her.
He felt his loud heart beat on her chest.
“You are excited to see me?” She teased.
“Are you not happy to see me?” He asked.
“I’m happy to see you” She replied and he tucked her hair behind her.
“What is that?” She asked, pointing at the bag in his hand.
“A gift for you” He replied and she quickly took it from him.
She gasped when she saw a phone pack in the bag, an iphone precisely.
“You don’t like it?” He quickly asked and she shook her head.
“Sir Leonardo already got me this same phone” She replied.
“You can have it all” He smiled.
“Thank you so much” She said and hugged him.
She broke the hug and he started staring at her face.
“What?” She asked and he came closer.
“You are really beautiful, Emilia” He said.
“Started flirting with me again?” She blinked and licked her lips.
Her lips became extra wet and irresistibly tempting, Lorenzo saw that and his sanity flew to adojon immediately, he instantly cupped her face into his palms and started staring affectionately at her.
She blinked cutely.
Lorenzo started leaning towards her lips, her eyes were on him till his lips stopped just right before her lips.
“You are making my heart race so much, pretty” He whispered and closed the gap.
