A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

Chapter 135



135 What A Beautiful Stranger!

Ella lay back on her bed, to recollect her thoughts. Her mind was unsettled and her heart kept skipping a beat anytime she thought of Leon. She couldn’t force out the anxiousness and frustration that was beginning to eat deeply into her. For the first time since Leon and she became an inseparable couple, she had told him a lie and this traumatized her.

It hurt her so much that she couldn’t stand on the rooftop of a building and scream out her joy. She had read and watched so many movies about how most men celebrated their pregnant wives. Some would cry, some would scream, some would shower their wives with lots of goodies and some even fainted out of excitement.

“Why is mine different? Why can’t I be like a normal lady for once? Why can’t I live a normal life where everyone accepts me for all my beauty and flaws? Why do I have to choose between two important things in my life? What if Leon asks me to abort this pregnancy?” Ella’s head throbbed with a lot of questions.

Even though she had been discharged from the hospital, she politely asked Denise and her bodyguard to give her a few minutes of alone time. She needed to clear her head and think of a way to manage her pregnancy without giving suspicious vibes to people around her.

So far, only Denise knew Ella was pregnant and she intended to keep it that way until she was ready to disclose it to Leon.

Ella quickly brought out her phone and started making research about the changes in a woman’s body during the first few weeks of pregnancy.

“The more equipped I am with the knowledge of a pregnant woman, the smarter I will be at concealing this pregnancy,” Ella thought to herself.

After a few minutes of research and self-composure, she came out of her private ward, looking like her usual self.

“Thanks for waiting up,” she smiled at Denise. “I feel much better now.”

.....

“You’re welcome, my dear.” Denise hugged her tenderly and they both left the hospital.

On their way to the villa, Ella begged Denise to accompany her to a restaurant where they could order something spicy and chat privately.

“You don’t need to plead with me, Ella,” Denise chuckled at Ella’s animated pleas. “I’m always here for you and I’ll be with you to the very end.”

“Thanks, mama bear.” Ella giggle and hugged Denise again.

When they arrived at The Grill restaurant, Ella and Denise took a secluded table, where they could easily chat without worrying about people eavesdropping on them. While Ella’s bodyguards took a separate table, not far from her.

“Denise, I have decided to keep this pregnancy a secret for at least one month,” Ella said in a hushed voice. “During that time, I will re-evaluate Leon’s resolve on having children, to see if he will change his mind.”

“What if he doesn’t change his mind?” Denise quizzed in a slightly anxious tone.

“Well, I can’t really say what would happen next. However, one thing is certain: I intend to keep this baby...” she gently stroked her tummy and smiled. “I intend to keep this pregnancy until the day I give birth.”

“That’s a splendid decision, Ella,” Denise beamed. “Finally, my dream of becoming a godmother is coming to pass all thanks to you.”

“Oh, Denise,” Ella’s eyes shimmered with tears and excitement. “Nothing would make me happier!”

“Permit me to ask you this silly question.” Mischief was written all over Denise’s face.

“Your Leon has an insatiable appetite and I have a feeling that he likes to explore. What if he decides to...you know...” Denise winked at Ella with a knowing smile. “Then he discovers a little bump or some dripping...”

“Denise, stop! You’ve lost me and I don’t want to be found.” Ella covered her face in embarrassment while laughing her heart out. “Your mind is so rotten!”

“Come on Ella, I’m serious,” Denise pressed on. “You are a married lady and you should not be ashamed of your intimate moments with your husband. If anyone should be embarrassed then that would be me. After all, I’m still single and a virgin.”

Denise made a funny face and both ladies almost cracked their ribs with laughter.

“Oh, Denise,” Ella wiped some tears from her eyes. “You are so hilarious! On a serious note, I think I have a job for you.”

“Hmm... Nice! What’s the job all about? Tell me!” Denise said in an eager tone.

“Well it’s nothing of a big deal,” Ella grinned. “As my child’s godmother-to-be, you will be the one supplying me with all my daily food cravings for the next month. Since I can’t eat those food at home in other not to arouse any suspicion, I will be eating them at the office. Are you up to the task?”

“Aww! I’m going to spoil you silly,” Denise beamed from cheek to cheek. “In fact, my job begins right now. What would you like to eat sweetheart?”

“Oh Denise, you are the best!” Ella stroked Denise’s hand that was resting on the table.

While Ella and Denise were eating and chatting away, a tall and handsome man walked into the restaurant. His neatly trimmed jet-black hair shone under the brightly illuminated lights of the restaurant. Each stride he took conveyed his charismatic personality. His well-tailored grey suit complimented his athletic and charming physique; which caused heads to turn and eyes to gawk.

The young man took a table a few meters from Ella’s table. However, as his eyes roved around the restaurant, he caught sight of a familiar figure that made his heart stop.

“No, this is not good! What is she doing here? she should be in her office or her house by this time? Shit! This can’t be happening to me right now! it took me hours to clear her out of my mind. I have to talk to her! I have to look directly into those hypnotic eyes of hers. I want to admire those luscious pink lips up close!”

The young man’s heart started thumping loudly as his feet developed brains of their own and forced him out of his seat. He took cautious but steady steps towards the table of the beautiful red hair goddess.

However, before he could come five inches towards her, too heavily built men blocked his path and bluntly asked him to piss off.

Due to the commotion, Ella turned around and her eyes immediately locked with that of the young man.

He smiled at her and apologized to her bodyguards before leaving.

“What a beautiful stranger,” Denise commented as the young man left the restaurant.
