THE REJECTED HUSBAND - CHAPTER 9&10
★CHAPTER 9~10★
————–
Emiliana stood there confusingly staring at them.
She took her eyes to Bianca first and she met that arrogant proud look on her face and she then took her eyes to Leonardo to see that usual calm look on his face.
From what she knows she signed the maid contract papers with Leonardo and not Bianca so that basically means Leonardo is her superior boss before Bianca, he is the one going to pay her salary not her.
She sighed and took the bold step.
“I’m sorry miss but you aren’t the one that hired me” She said boldly and walked to Leonardo.
Anger coursed through Bianca’s soul and it consumed her whole body, she spranged up glaring at both of them.
“Come with me” Leonardo said and took her hand, walking away with her.
Bianca’s eyes quickly went to where he was holding her hand and she scoffed before looking away.
She left the living room angrily.
Leonardo quickly let go of Emiliana’s hand as they got to the dining room and he faced her.
Emiliana looked at him too.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, the dinner was already on the table.
Emiliana got it immediately and started serving him, his eyes were on her throughout and she was trying her best to make sure their eyes didn’t make contact.
Leonardo noticed it and smiled.
Why is she like this? Is it because he ignored her in the morning?
She’s always free around him.
“Thank you” He said after she was done.
“You can join me” He said and she quickly shook her head in rejection.
“I have already eaten sir” She said.
“I’m sorry for ignoring you in the morning, I wasn’t in a good mood” He said and she looked at him.
“You were not okay?”
“Yes and I guess…
“I get your point, Bianca right?” She said.
“Yes” He said like a whisper.
“Why did she h@?? you? I can sense the hatred despite the few days I have stayed here?” She asked curiously and he cast her a blank look.
“I’m sorry for prying into your family issue” She quickly apologized and he chuckled shortly.
“It’s nothing, I don’t know, it’s complicated and the more I try to do good to her to make her maybe like me back it becomes worse” He replied with a loud sigh.
“So it’s basically a one sided thing?” She asked carefully not to annoy him.
“Something like that” He said.
“I think we should stop talking about that, eat your food sir” She said.
“Are you scolding me for not eating now?” He chuckled and she bit her lips before giggling.
“I thought you were going to listen to her” He said.
“You hired me not her so I can’t disobey you to obey her” She said.
“You know….
“Sir please eat” She said and looked away.
“Ok” He said and started eating immediately.
Emiliana looked back at him and smiled.
<LATER~ LEONARDO’S ROOM**
Leonardo entered his room and fell on the bed, he spent the rest of time talking with Emiliana after he finished eating his dinner. She’s so funny to be with and if she’s the one Lorenzo was talking about then he now knows the reason.
He was still thinking about it when a call interrupted him, he quickly glanced at the phone and his eyes widened when he saw Lorenzo appearing on the screen.
“Why is this ?ï?k calling me now? I hope it’s not about Emiliana?” He asked and picked the phone, answering the call.
“Why are you calling me ?ï?k?” He questioned.
“I just missed you” Lorenzo replied.
“Miss me or you want to ask me about Emiliana?”
“You’re not smart for nothing, ok you got me”
“Bro you aren’t even sure if she’s the one you are looking for and you are already acting this way, what if it’s her what would you do?” Leonardo asked and he could hear Lorenzo laughing.
“My instincts can’t be lying to me, I believe she’s the one, can you please take her picture and send it to me”
“You are really going crazy, what should I tell her? That my junior bro want to see her picture?” Leonardo asked sarcastically.
“You are the boss you can say anything and she will do it or better still can I come to your mansion now?” Lorenzo asked.
“I already asked the guards not to let you in my house tonight, I know how crazy you can be, don’t cry when you get rejected ok?” Leonardo said.
“You are so mean, well, I’m still Lorenzo” He said proudly.
“You can come over tomorrow, I want to sleep, get off my phone” Leonardo said and hung up.
Earlier in the private suite, Lorenzo insisted on coming back home with him but he refused.
Could he really be in love or is it just an obsession? He hasn’t seen him behave this way about a woman before!!
Leonardo closed his eyes after that and he soon fell asleep.
<NEXT MORNING**
Leonardo came out of the kitchen after making breakfast, he woke up even before Emiliana and when he was about to take the stairs when Emiliana came downstairs, she gasped immediately she saw him and she rushed fastly to him.
“Sir, what are you doing?” She asked.
“I prepared breakfast, I left some in the kitchen” He smiled at her and walked past her.
Emiliana leaned on the rail and kept staring.
He even woke up before her to make breakfast..
“He’s really something else” She shook her head with a smile before leaving.
<BIANCA’S ROOM**
Bianca wasn’t yet out of the bed, her legs were curled up and she was pressing her phone, laughing slowly to herself.
A knock came on the door and she looked up.
“Who’s that? Come in” She said and then the door opened, immediately she saw Leonardo, she spranged and her mood switched.
“What are you doing here?” She yelled harshly.
“Good morning” He said simply, ignoring her question.
“What are you doing here?” She yelled loudly.
“I made breakfast for you” He replied and Bianca’s eyes got fixed on him, she started staring at him and he stared back.
She suddenly started laughing but the laughter didn’t reach her eyes before it turned into a sour one.
“Breakfast for me as what? My boyfriend or husband?” She smirked.
“Can you pretend to like me for once? It won’t hurt, I know you asked me to avoid you but I can’t, no matter how hard I try, ” he said.
Bianca was silent before talking.
“Then try harder, avoid me, I’m here because of my parents, I don’t care if you love me, if you have known me you won’t have feelings for me…Get out” She suddenly barked.
“Bianca”
“Get out” She said and the next thing, she got down from the bed and walked furiously to him, she pushed everything away from his hands and the breakfast scattered on the floor.
“Get out” She yelled.
Leonardo looked at her before leaving.
Blood quickly escaped her nostrils and she quickly got a tissue to wipe it.
She left the room and went downstairs.
“Clean up the mess in my room” Bianca said to Emiliana and walked away.
Emiliana went upstairs to her room immediately and when she got there she saw the mess on the floor and she quickly understood what happened here.
This was the same breakfast she saw Leonardo holding, he really woke up this early to make breakfast for her and she poured it away?
She sighed and bent down to start picking the broken pieces of the plate.
“Why does she h@?? him so much?”
*****
The doorbell made a sound and Bianca walked there to open the door but it opened before she could touch it, and Lorenzo came in.
Their eyes met and both started looking unfriendly at each other.
“What are you doing here?” She asked.
“What am I doing in my brother’s house? Like your parents contributed a dime when he built this mansion, get out of my way, Lizard” Lorenzo said unfriendly and pushed her away, walking away.
Lorenzo went straight to the dining room, since it was still early in the morning he expected Leonardo to be there. He got there and truly he was in the dining room.
“P@zzy” Lorenzo smiled.
“Bastardo { bastard}” Leonardo smiled back.
“Where is she?” Lorenzo asked quickly.
Leonardo was about to give him a reply when Emiliana walked in.
They heard her movement and Lorenzo quickly turned, his eyes widened and excitement coursed within him as he saw her.
It’s her.
“Emiliana” He called and Emiliana gasped shockingly as she recognized him. She met him once but she can’t forget this playboy’s face.
“Sir” She said.
“Just call me Lorenzo” He smiled at her.
“She’s the one?” Leonardo asked and he looked back.
“Yes” He muttered before facing her.
“What are you doing here?” She asked.
“This is my brother’s mansion, we are brothers” He replied and she gasped again.
“Come” He took her hand and before she could protest, Lorenzo was already pulling her out.
“Seriously?” Leonardo laughed, staring at them.
Lorenzo took her out of the mansion and took to the garden, one she didn’t know existed in the mansion.
“Wow!! There’s a garden in this mansion?” She asked astonishedly.
“Yeah” He smiled, staring at her pretty face.
“I went back to the club but I couldn’t find you”
“You have been telling your brother about me?” She faced him and he smiled before nodding.
“I search for you”
“Why?”
“Let’s say I just like you” He replied and she smiled.
“Playboy sweet tongue tactics” She said and his eyes caught the prettiest side of her face.
“You refused to give me your number that night but today I’m getting it” He flashed a smile at her and she chuckled silently.
This bad boy here is so confident.
“What if I say no?”
“You can’t say no to me twice” He replied and this time she laughed loudly.
<7PM~ BIANCA’S ROOM**
Bianca rushed into her room after coming out of the car.
Her monthly period came faster than expected and she was forced to come back home.
She opened her drawer and took out pads, she rushed into her bathroom and did the necessary.
She came back from the bathroom after taking a shower, she hissed before lying on the bed.
She opened her drawer again and started looking for the pills but it seems she already used them.
“f-__-k” She said and got her phone, putting a call to Benita but her number was switched off.
“That ?îtçh” She cursed under her breath and immediately a hellish tight pain gripped her stomach and she yelped.
She always experienced this hellish pain anytime her monthly period comes and only painki||ers pills help.
She was about to take a step when she felt it again and she fell on the bed.
“Ahhh!!!!” She groaned, holding her stomach.
“Ahhh!!!” She cried out and she started rolling on the bed as the hellish pain came in full force.
She started crying as tears escaped the corners of her eyes.
She tried standing up but the pain multiplied and she screamed loudly.
“Ahhhhhh!!!” She cried out, holding tight to her stomach as she rolled on the bed with pain in her tummy.
She has been experiencing this since that day.. The day she won’t forget!!!!!! in her life.
She started sweating, followed by her tears.
Outside of her room, Leonardo got home and he took the stairs to his room.
He was about to open his door when he heard a loud sound of scream from Bianca’s room.
“What’s up with her?” He asked but the sound came again.
“Is she okay?” He asked worriedly.
She screamed louder this time and without thinking he ran to her room and barged in, his eyes widened when he saw the state she was in.
Her eyes were closed and she was sweating badly with tears flowing out.
She looked different from the arrogant, proud and egoistic Bianca.
Leonardo quickly rushed to her and squatted.
Bianca felt a presence with her in the room.
“Who are….you…Ahhh” She screamed again.
“What happened to you?” Leonardo asked and her eyes snapped open immediately.
She casted him a h@??ful glance.
“Get….out of my room” She managed to say.
“Put the hatred away and tell me what is wrong with you” He said.
“Get out!!” She yelled but she regretted it immediately. It was like she provoked the hellish pain cos this time it came with toxicity.
“Arrrrghhhhh!!!!!…Ahhhh…” More tears rushed out of her eyes.
“What happened to you? Please talk to me?” He asked.
Bianca didn’t want to talk but at this point she had no option but to speak.
“Menstrual cramp, the pills…” She could only say that much.
Leonardo’s eyes quickly sighted the drug card on the floor and he quickly picked it.
“I will be back” He said and quickly rushed out of the room with a flash.
He ran past Emiliana and she started wondering what was going on.
Leonardo got out and the guards rushed to him.
“Boss”
“Give me the car keys” He said impatiently.
“Sir, I will drive you” His driver said.
“I will drive myself, give me the car keys now” He said and the guy gave him the car keys.
He got in the car and drove out.
Emiliana who was watching on the door kept wondering what was happening.
The drive to the pharmacy didn’t take Leonardo 30mins before he got there and immediately everyone saw him. They started murmuring but that wasn’t his concern.
“Sir” The seller gasped when she saw him.
“I need these pills” He said with urgency in his voice, showing her the card.
“Ok sir” The seller said and went to get it.
She came back with the drug and he paid immediately, he ordered for other things and even pads
“Sir, you are so romantic, it’s rare to see a man buying pads…
She couldn’t wrap up her statement cos Leonardo was already in the car. He drove out immediately and started heading home, he was driving safely though he was speeding but he was observing the driving rules when suddenly a car crossed him but he quickly dogged the car but unluckily for him the car lost control and crashed into a road statue… The car started flying in the air till it landed on the ground and started rolling till it stopped. It finally fell on one side and blood could be seen coming out through the driver’s side window.
<HOURS LATER**
Alessia was crying profusely while Riccardo kept trying to console her, her eyes were red with tears.
Emiliana was also crying her eyes out.
Riccardo and Lorenzo had tears in their eyes but they didn’t let it out.
The door suddenly opened and the doctor came out.
Alessia left Riccardo’s side and rushed to him immediately.
“How’s my brother?” She asked in tears and when her eyes met the look on the doctor’s face she knew all wasn’t well.
“Talk doctor” Lorenzo said impatiently.
“I’m sorry…..
Emiliana’s eyes widened to a large length.
“No!! Don’t tell me…No….” Alessia screamed.
“He didn’t make it, he is dead” The doctor broke the news and Alessia fainted immediately.
“No!!!!” Lorenzo let out his tears now.
