219 A Needy And Possessive Mother
“What ridiculous friend are you talking about?”
Leon’s eyes darkened and he slowly turned around and glared at his sister. His heartbeat quickened and his body stiffened causing his mum to agitate.
“Yvonne, please go and get my food ready like your brother initially instructed. I think that I’m ready to eat with him.” Marissa said in a desperate tone while her hand tightened its grip around Leon’s chest for fear that he was about to leave her again.
Without waiting for her mum to finish her statement, Yvonne quickly left the sitting room and excitedly sauntered into the kitchen. She was happy to see the evil look on Leon’s face and she also knew that his anger was just in the first phase.
“Mum, loosen up, I can’t breathe with the way you are squeezing the life out of me!” Leon’s tone, although soft sounded deadly.
“I’m scared that you are about to leave me again for that evil wife of yours, just like before,” Marissa said between sobs.
“I’m still here mum! I haven’t left!” Leon replied between gritted teeth.
He felt frustrated at not knowing if Yvonne was maliciously pulling his legs or was staying the truth.
“No one knows I’m at the island except Tom and Tom doesn’t know this place. All he knows is that I went to see my Nana on an unnamed island. Who could this handsome, caring, and rich gentleman be that has my wife? Hmm... Someone is going to die this night if what Yvonne said is true. I am going to mercilessly deal with the nincompoop who thinks he can seduce and lure my wife!”
.....
Leon’s breathing became heavy as his thoughts were all over the place. He clenched and unclenched his fist as anger and deadly thoughts poisoned his mind.
Although he was bodily present with his mum, his mind was somewhere else. All he could think of was Ella. The thought of Ella being with another man was gradually killing him.
He checked the time on his wristwatch and found out that it was a few minutes before 6:00 PM.
“All I need to do is get mum to eat and trick her into taking a sleeping pill so that I can go look for my wife.”
Leon nodded his head at his plan. He knew that as long as Marissa was awake, going to search for Ella would be an impossible mission. He knew that picking up his phone to check on Ella would destroy him if he found out that she was really with another man. He also knew that leaving his mum in her current depressed state could be likened to putting a bullet through her skull.
Hence, he just caged his monstrous rage and waited for Yvonne to bring his mum’s meal.
After almost twenty minutes of preparing something for Marissa to eat, which felt like twenty hours to an enraged Leon, Yvonne showed up with a tray of spicy chicken soup, some toast, a glass of smoothie, and iced lemon water.
“Finally!” Leon sighed in frustration.
“Don’t tell me that you are also hungry because I only made this for mum.” Yvonne teased as she dropped the tray on a small round table beside her mum.
“Of course, he is! I can’t eat all this by myself.” Marissa replied as she slowly released her hands around Leon.
“Let’s eat together, son!” Marissa fondly stroked Leon tensed face and pulled him closer to the table.
“Mum, I already ate something before coming home. All I need from you now is to eat and take some drugs which will help relax your nerves. I need you to regain your composure and glow.” Leon tried his best to sound placid.
“Alright, I will eat as long as you stay by my side and don’t leave me again. Promise?” Marissa said pleadingly.
“I’ll try!” Leon said curtly and dismissively.
He handed his mum the glass of iced lemon water and watched her sip some of it. Then he further encouraged her to take some of the chicken soup and a little of the toast.
When he was certain that Marissa had eaten enough food to give her energy, he went into his bedroom and got some drugs for her to take. He waited patiently for the drugs to take effect but it seemed as though the wait would take forever.
When he was at the point of losing his mind due to his suffocating thoughts of what the young man might be doing to his wife, Maxwell finally arrived.
“Uncle Max, please can you keep mum company while I discuss briefly with Yvonne?” Leon said in a desperate and stressed tone.
“Sure, son,” Maxwell replied curtly. He could tell from the deadly glint in Leon’s eyes that something was out of place.
“Thanks!”
Leon stood up from beside his light-headed mum who seemed to be too needy and possessive for his liking.
Inwardly, Leon blamed his mum for the situation Ella had found herself in. If she hadn’t been calling Ella’s name or obstructing her from entering the house, she would have been relaxing in her bedroom, even waiting up on him.
“Leon, are you going out?” Marissa called in a sleepy and weak tone.
“Marissa, I’m here for you. Allow Leon to rest for a while, I’ll take over.”
Maxwell pulled Marissa into his arms and cuddled her as though he were her husband. Then he gave Leon the go-ahead signal.
Leon in turn gave his uncle the thank you sign before leaving the sitting room for his bedroom. He quickly went through his luggage and took his pistol, which he hid behind his waistband. Then he came out and went straight to the kitchen, where Yvonne was tidying up. Without saying a word to her, he forcefully pulled her out of the house by the arm, through the back door.
“Leon, careful! Do you want to dislocate my arm?” Yvonne protested due to the rough way Leon was handling her.
“Yvonne, I need you to be sincere with me!” Leon said between tightened jaws when they were finally outside the house and away from prying ears. “Are you sure you saw a man picking up my wife or you are making it up?”
Yvonne eyes widened in surprise and irritation.
“Leon! Are you trying to say that I’m lying? You think I would make up a false accusation against your wife! You just hurt me deeply. You think...”
“Alright! Alright!!” Leon cut her off as he had exhausted his patience and was on the brink of losing his mind.
“I’m sorry! I believe you! Can you please give me the description of the young man? Was he alone? Did you overhear anything they discussed?”
“No! I don’t eavesdrop on people!” Yvonne scoffed and turned her face away.
“Then what did you see!” Leon struck the wall of the building angrily causing Yvonne to panic. His fist was instantly bruised due to the heavy impact on the rough wall and his eyes were bloodshot.
“I...I just saw them talking and laughing for a while, before Ivory and the man led Ella towards the back seat of the car and left.”
“Ivory was there?” Leon roared.
“Yes! She was!” Yvonne replied in a trembling voice and quickly ran away from Leon for fear of getting impaled.
