298 Unforgivable
Ella felt as though she was about to explode due to Leon’s statement. She couldn’t comprehend the fact that Leon called his affair with his contractual mistress, a mistake.
She carefully bent down and picked up the printed documents on the table before walking up to him.
“My dear husband, waking up late for an important meeting and getting your boss all worked up is a mistake. Crossing the road without looking properly leading to an accident is a mistake. Spilling hot coffee on your wrist when you are trying to take a sip is a mistake. Getting completely drunk and sleeping with a one-night stand could also be tagged as a mistake. But, sleeping with your mistress and signing a contract to keep f**king her is...”
Smack! Smack!! Smack!!!
“...no f**king mistakes you disgusting bastard,” Ella yelled at the top of her voice.
Ella took each copy of the document in her hands and fiercely slapped Leon with them.
“What do you call that, huh? You dare sleep with her and hope to stick you worthless loose cannon in me as well? You are such a stupid, and shameless man and I hate you with all of my heart. What makes you different from Frost or Richard you two-timing bastard!” Ella tried to kick in between his thigh but Leon was quick to stop her from rupturing his balls.
“Ella, please stop this so that you don’t hurt yourself.”
Ignoring the painful slaps and punches from her, Leon quickly wrapped his hand around her body and tried to restrain her.
.....
“Let go of me, you prick!” Ella struck him severally on the chest, but still, Leon absorbed all the pain and held on to her.
“I’m sorry baby, please,” Leon pleaded softly.
In the process of trying to restrain her, Ella aimed and took a shot at Xia’s thigh. But thanks to Leon’s quick intervention, the bullet only scratch the surface of her skin before hitting the wall.
“Argh!” Xia screamed in pain and panic.
“Xia, get dressed and leave now!” Leon boomed as he carefully disarmed Ella and tossed the gun away.
Leon didn’t want Xia’s continuous presence to upset Ella and he couldn’t stand her messy appearance.
Like a sprinter in a race for her life, Xia speedily dressed half-hazard and ran out of the office, leaving behind her handbag, her phone, and her car keys.
“I hate you so much, Leon Treshvire. I hate you!” Ella finally broke down in tears as she got tired of beating and punching Leon. Her hand had turned red and they were now aching.
“I’m such a fool, baby. I’m the biggest fool in the world. Please forgive me.” A few tears escaped Leon hurt eyes as he knelt before Ella while still holding her waist.
“Tell me, where I went wrong loving you? I have sacrificed virtually everything because of my love for you. My mum no longer sees me as her daughter. I am not welcomed in my country home by my relatives and friends. I have endured bitter mistreatment at the hands of your mum and your evil elder sister. I barely keep friends because of your jealousy.”
“Ella, please, I’m sorry. I can make...”
“Stop telling you’re sorry because you’re not.” Ella held his hair and glowered at him. ” If I hadn’t discovered your crime, you would have been sleeping with me and your stinking whore at the same time. What if you were in my shoes, huh? I remember that you almost killed your sister’s boyfriend due to your baseless suspicion. Don’t you think it’s only fair that I should pay you back in your own coin?”
“Please, baby!”
“Was our sex life so boring that you got tired of me so soon? Do you think for a second that I wouldn’t be able to perform actively in bed because of my pregnancy? What haven’t I done, Leon to please you? Answer me!”
“You’ve done everything right, my love.” Leon leaned his head gently on her baby bump and held on to her waist. I’m the one who messed up big time. Please, give me the chance to correct my wrongs. I promise never to cheat on you ever again. I promise never to look at any other lady except you for the rest of my life. Please, give me one more chance to love you unconditionally. I will never take your love for granted again.”
Leon slowly raised his head to meet Ella’s gaze. He was grateful that she was no longer pulling at his hair but was unconsciously stroking it.
“Babe, from the bottom of my heart, I’m truly sorry for cheating on you. Please, do not push me away because I can’t live a day without your love. I wish I could go back in time and correct my mistake. Please, forgive me. I’m ready to be a father to our child and I’m...”
“Don’t you dare use our baby as a bargaining chip!” Ella slapped him again and pulled free from his arms. She walked back to her seat and slowly sat down while avoiding Leon’s hurt gaze.
Leon stared at Ella for a while unsure of what to say anymore. Ever since he started begging her, he had thrown away his pride and allowed her to walk over him like a piece of rag. But the pain and hatred in her eyes made him understand that it would take more than kneeling, pleading, or even shedding a few tears to soothe her.
He slowly stood up and strolled towards her. Then her sat very close to her and gently took her clenched fist into his hands.
“Sweetheart, tell me what you want me to do to right my wrong. I don’t want to lose you. I will cross the deepest and farthest ocean to seek your forgiveness. I know you feel I no longer deserve you and yes, I think I don’t after my foolish action. I know it will be difficult for you to trust me going forward, but I’m ready to work hard to earn your trust once more. I know your love for me may have been shattered by my action, but I’m ready to do everything within my power to make you fall in love with me again. Please!”
“What you did is unforgivable, Leon.” Ella slowly turned to face his broken but remorseful gaze.
