#UNEDITED
*
His legs were shaking on the spot, starting there from to his upper body, and it soon circulated around his whole body. His blood dried up immediately, and he started remembering the number of students who were victim of his bullying but his most regret is the bully of the girl he h@??d but he ended falling insanely love with her.
His allowed his tears to came out freely, he really deserves everything she did to him, he’s a monster and he deserves more, she was even kind to do less of what he did to her.
“I can’t believe behind this kind soul, there was a monster behind it, don’t judge a book by its cover, I’m now getting the full meaning of those words, I’m highly disappointed Leonardo” Emiliana said angrily.
Leonardo’s head was down as he was finding it hard to look at their faces now, especially Bianca’s own.
“I left the school after recovering, I moved back to Italy with dad. I didn’t tell anyone about it cos I didn’t want to implicate him, and beside dad won’t have anything to do about it, he was rich, I lied to dad and explain the bullying to him but I didn’t tell him about Leonardo and his assault. I came back here and enrolled into a public school. A year later dad started getting rich and by the time I got to college, he was among the top ten richest people in Italy, I became a beast when I got to my first year in college, I started bullying students with the believe that all rich men’s children are bully, my ego grew to the sky limit, I became extra rude but there was no one to talk to me in college, dad’s wealth was growing more rapidly and I kept getting more heartless till I’m who I’m today, people h@??d me but I took pleasure enjoying it. Leonardo came back after college and took over his father, the first day I saw him the feelings came back but I made a promise to myself to h@?? him and have nothing to do with him, I didn’t go after him because he is rich than me. I have been in love with him all these years but I buried it in the deepest part of my heart till you came and changed everything Emiliana” Bianca explained in tears.
“It wasn’t easy hurting him, I didn’t enjoy it bullying students but I forced myself to be wicked, I was a simple, sweet girl in highschool till Leonardo contributed to me being a brat, I didn’t enjoy everything I did to him, framing him, slapping him, punching him, and bringing a man home, I did that to spite him so he would demand for divorce, I can’t believe he fell so much for me, I kept this away from everyone including my best friend”
Leonardo finally staggered again, and this time he found his butt on the floor.
“I’m a beast, I don’t deserve forgiveness”
“What did I do?”
“The most funniest part of it is, I am willing to forgive him, I love him so much, my heart didn’t stop loving him for a minute, I still love him and I don’t mind being his wife” She said, and Emiliana looked shockingly at her.
How much is her love for him? After all the monstrously things he did to her.
“So you changed after the accident?” Emiliana faced Leonardo who is looking gone already.
“Yeah, I became a different person after recovering from the accident, I started being extra nice to everyone around me, I can’t believe I was a beast” He replied, and stood.
“I don’t deserve Bianca, i don’t deserve love” He said, and started laughing maniacally.
Emiliana and Bianca’s eyes widened immediately.
“I don’t deserve to live, no I didn’t do all that right?” He asked, and smiled maniacally again.
“I think he’s losing his mind” Emiliana said and before they could make an attempt to go after him.
Leonardo dashed out of the room, and started running downstairs, he almost fell at the stairs.
He ran past the living room and opened the door, rushing out.
He almost ran into Jeff, and his eyes widened.
“Boss…” Before Jeff could finished statement, he was already in the car, and he started it immediately. He turned around and started driving towards the gate at full speed.
The gate was still closed.
“Boss..” The guards shouted with terrific eyes.
“Open the gate” Jeff shouted, and a guard pressed the gate remote, it open automatically, and he drove roughly out of the mansion.
Bianca and Emiliana got outside and their eyes widened to the back of their sockets.
“Leonardo” She shouted in tears, and started running to her car.
She was about to get in when Emiliana showed up and held her back.
“You can’t drive, Bianca” Emiliana said, retreating her tears.
“I want to go after my husband, you see what he was doing, he’s not in his right state of mind, he lost his mind, I want to go after him” Bianca broke down in tears.
Emiliana hugged her tightly as she continued crying in her arms. She was angry at him but right now she’s pitying.
The guilt is enough to ki||.
Two cars already left the mansion, Jeff and the guards went after Leonardo.
“Nothing should happen to him, please, lord protect my Leo” She cried pitiful, and Emiliana started crying too.
ON THE ROAD*
Leonardo’s eyes were filled with tears and undescribable guilt. He is not in the right state of mind. He was driving like a mad man, instead of him to dodge the cars, the cars were rather dodging him. The drivers kept cursing him.
He didn’t obeyed the traffic rules, driving roughly and wildly like a mad man, he was a mad man at that particular point.
His tears were falling as his hands turned on the wheel, his eyes were red with regret filled in them.
He finally drove into a mansion after driving for an hour, he’s the only person that knows about the mansion.
He drove into the garage, and parking the car. He started crying loudly.
He buried his face on the wheel as he cried hard.
“I don’t deserve to be loved, a beast like me doesn’t deserve love, I’m worse, I hurt her badly” He cried more hard when he started remembering the day he pushed her.
FLASHBACK*
Leonardo was sitting on a chair in a class when the door opened and two guys holding Bianca came in.
She was thrown on the ground, she landed in his front and she buried her face down.
“You disobey me” He said coldly.
“I’m sorry, my mum was so sick yesterday, I was beside her all night that’s why I couldn’t do the assignment, I’m sorry” She said in her tiny voice.
“And do I care about your useless mother? For disobeying me, do you know the punishment?” He asked heartlessly, and she looked up slowly, her eyes stung with tears.
“No”
“Give me the bottle” He said, and guy gave him a plastic bottle.
He took it and smiled diabolically.
“You are going to taste my urine, that will teach you a lesson never to disrespect me” He said, and her tears fell.
“Please, I’m sorry, just give another chance” She started begging but he didn’t care about her pleas.
He unzipped his trousers and turning against them, he urinated into the bottle, and faced them back.
“Open her mouth” He said wickedly, and the guys held Bianca down.
She started crying bitterly as her mouth was forced open. He poured the urine into her throat and she was forced to vomit it.
END OF FLASHBACK*
“I’m a real beast, I did that to her and years later I still fell in love with her, I want to die” Regret was eating his soul on a high speed, and he wants to go back to the times and correct his mistake but that’s just a fantasy now.
“I got into an accident that day after pushing her because my conscience were hunting me and I lost control but this is not compare to what I was feeling that day, why was I that wicked? My past is here to hunt me, what would her parents say after knowing I nearly destroy her? My parents, my siblings, Riccardo?”He cried hard, his face on the wheel.
His phone started ringing but he didn’t even care to check.
He continued crying there.
*****
Adriana was hugging Bianca in her arms as she cried, she was crying excessively so Emiliana had no option but to call Adriana over but it’s the same thing, she hasn’t stop crying since Leonardo left the mansion.
Jeff and the guards came back after an hour ago, they didn’t find him She r any trace of him.
“I should be angry at you for hiding this away from me but I can’t even do that” Adriana muttered gently.
“It’s still a shock to me that he was the one that took your virginity, but why can’t I h@?? him so much? He’s the meekest billionaire I know around”
“I still can’t believe he was a beast in his highschool” Emiliana said.
“Please stop crying” Adriana said, trying not to cry.
“This will be bad if the chairman hear of it but there’s no way he won’t know about it, this will bring problem in their families”
“I know, her love for him is excess, you won’t believe it that she has already forgiven him” Emiliana said, looking at Bianca.
“Had no idea that my best friend was a sweet soul, I knew there was a reason for the hatred but she kept denying it, thank you for showing up that day Emily” Adriana said.
“I blame myself for showing up late, I could have prevented it from happening, they are both hurt, especially him,he lost his mind before leaving the mansion”
“That’s dangerous” Adriana sighed.
“I think we should inform his siblings” Adriana suggested.
“I will do that later, Jeff is still looking for him”
“Leo, please come back to me, I have forgiven you, I can’t live without you, I did it all these years but I can’t do it again, please” Bianca cried faintly, she has even lost the energy to cry.
“Bianca” Emiliana and Adriana hugged her.
RICCARDO’S MANSION*
Riccardo smiled after the decorations in his living room.
The flowers were placed and arranged in the shape of the heart.
Red petals were sprayed on the floor, starting from the door to the stairs.
Romantic quotes on a billboard in his living room.
He changed the bulbs too, mixing it up to a romantic uniqueness.
He’s ready to confess tonight, and he can’t stop smiling. He looked around everything he has done and he smiled satisfactory.
His phone started ringing and he checked, he widely before picking.
“Missing me already?” He smiled.
“Where are you?” She asked.
“I can picture you pouting” He said, and Alessia laughed.
“I’m doing something at home” He said.
“I’m in a meeting now but I missed you so much that is why I called”
“I’m missing you here too, baby” He said, and she blushed.
“I love you” She said, and he smiled.
“Coming to pick you up at 6pm, I have something special for you”
“I can’t wait, I love you Rick” She squealed and hung up.
*****
Lorenzo came out of his office after having a rough day, today was so hectic for him, he worked from morning without resting. He was missing Emiliana but there was no slight chance to call her.
He flexed his arms, and got into his car.
“What should I get for her?” He wondered, and started looking for what to buy for her when his phone rang out.
He took out his phone and he smiled largely seeing her number.
“Baby” He called sweetly.
“Baby, Leo is missing” She said, and his eyes widened.
“Come to the mansion I will explain everything better, inform Riccardo and Alessia” She said.
“I’m coming now” He said and ring Riccardo after the call with Emiliana.
Meanwhile, Riccardo held Alessia’s hand as he led her to the car. She was smiling as they walked to the car.
“I can’t wait for the surprise, I hope it’s worth the anxiousness?” She asked, and he smiled.
“I can’t fail you baby” He said, and she kissed him.
His phone started ringing and he checked.
“Lorenzo” He smiled and answered the call.
“What!! We are coming there”
“What happened?” She asked.
“Leonardo is missing, let’s go to his mansion” He replied and she gasped.
They got into the car quickly and drove out.
LEONARDO’S MANSION~7PM*
Silence was the only thing that was lingering in the living room after Emiliana told them what happened.
Bianca explained everything to him, and all of them were in their world of thinking.
Bianca stopped crying now, credit to Adriana and Emiliana.
The silence lasted for thirty minutes before Lorenzo talked.
“I’m hating myself now, we h@??d you not knowing you become this way because of him, I and Alessia studied in Greece we came back to complete our university study in Washington. We only knew about the accident that made him lose part of his memories, we are sorry Bianca, you can choose to h@?? us”
“We are sorry” Alessia said.
“It’s not your fault, I just want to see him, I want to be in his arms” She said and looked at Riccardo.
“Riccardo was the only person that protected me in that school but he had to leave when his family relocated” Bianca said, and Riccardo smiled sadly.
“I can’t believe I couldn’t recognize you”
“My face changed after I started treatment on it, I didn’t do surgery”
“Where could he be right now? He’s not answering his calls” Adriana asked.
“Jeff searched everywhere without seeing him” Emiliana said.
“I want him, I don’t mind about the past, we can start afresh” She said and broke into tears again.
The rest sighed heavily.
LEONARDO’S LOCATION*
He’s sitting on the floor in the sitting room like a dead walking person. His phone has been ringing, Emiliana, Riccardo, Alessia and Lorenzo.
He kept looking at the phone as tons of calls and messages entered his phone, he had no strength to answer any call.
His eyes were deep red as he had been crying since. He was dead inside already, no peace, all regret and guilt.
All he has been thinking about is taking his life and ending the guilt he’s feeling.
“I’m sorry Bianca” He cried weakly.
He suddenly stood and without thinking, he went into the kitchen, and he later came back with a knife. He sat on the same spot he was sitting and he started looking at the shining knife.
“I can’t live with this guilt and regret, I can’t forgive myself, I’m sorry, I hope nobody will find me when I’m gone, I’m sorry my family, Emiliana, Riccardo and Bianca, I will always love you but a beast like me doesn’t deserve you”
He raised the knife to his stomach and tears came out of his eyes.
“I’m sorry Bianca, don’t forgive me so I will suffer for my sins in hell” He said and closed his eyes, tears came out, and with one swift. The knife went into his stomach.
