A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

45 A Romantic Night At Beryl Hula Island

Maggie’s hospital private ward suddenly went still. Even the beeping heart rate device sound seemed to dwindle. It was as though it had been given a memo to shut up.

Olivia’s scowling stare was as dreadful as a hideous bloodthirsty vampire. It was so scary that Abigail could have sworn that the foetus in Olivia’s womb was also sneering at Marissa.

Marissa on the other hand was perplexed. She was oblivious of the reasons why the pregnant woman by Maggie’s bed was glowering at her. She was certain they hadn’t crossed paths.

Ignoring the pregnant woman, Marissa walked over to Maggie’s bedside. But she was stopped halfway.

“What the hell are you doing here? Do you intend to finish up my mum?” Olivia’s voice boomed in the ward causing some nurses to rush down to the room.

“I beg your pardon! Who are you to talk to me that way?” Marissa scoffed, with her pupils almost bulging out. She wasn’t one to tolerate abusive remarks or disrespect.

“Olivia! Please she’s Leon’s mother. She’s on our side” Maggie said weakly.

Sadly, Olivia’s hormones were surging thanks to her pregnancy. She didn’t listen to Maggie as she walked up close to Marissa. She was enraged and ready for a brawl.

“Oh, who I am? I am the lady you intend to murder her mum, you imperious and evil woman!” Olivia yelled at the top of her voice.

.....

Thankfully, two nurses, Abigail and Uncle Moses intervened before things escalated.

The nurses ordered everyone out of Maggie’s room for disturbing the peace. They also induced Maggie with a sedative as they observed a sharp spike in her heart rate and blood pressure.

“Let go of me!” Olivia barked her orders at Abigail; who was holding her and trying to calm her down. “I want to teach that woman some manner! Who does she think she is?”

“Olivia! Think of your mum and your baby! Your mum is hurting! She needs you more than ever. We can’t bear a miscarriage on our hands. Please! Please, dear! Calm down” Abigail hugged and soothed Olivia.

This time, Olivia listened and calmed down. “I don’t want to see that woman near my mum, ever again.” Olivia started crying.

Uncle Moses led a crushed Marissa out of the hospital for fear of his niece, tearing Marissa apart.

“Me! An imperious and evil woman? Accused of attempted murder?” Marissa sobbed quietly.

“Please, Mrs. Treshvire, forgive my niece. Those are just the words of an enraged pregnant woman. Consider it as a hormonal spike or imbalance. She didn’t mean any of those words.” Moses pleaded on behalf of Olivia. He feared the consequences of her actions. If this was the wife of the billionaire Rex Treshvire, then the Porter family were in for colossal retribution.

Moses had heard stories of this internationally known billionaire. He was ruthless in his dealings. He was a fierce competitor and mean-spirited. Anyone who dared to cross his path usually had no tales to tell. Because they were never found.

“I beg to differ, she meant every word she said,” Marissa looked at Moses with so much hurt in her eyes.

At first, Moses was lost for words due to Marissa’s heartbroken expression. But when he thought about the imminent danger, he almost knelt down to plead for Olivia.

“Olivia lost her dad to a terrible pancreatic cancer seven years ago. She was so heartbroken and she found solace in her mum. Ever since then, she had been so attached to Maggie. Olivia would literally join her if Maggie left this world.”

Marissa was so overwhelmed by Moses’s story. She wasn’t privy to this detail of Ella’s father’s death. She felt sorry for both Olivia, and Maggie. If Rex ever left her to the cold hands of death, she wasn’t sure she would survive it.

Marissa placed her hand gently on Moses’s shoulder with a warm look in her eyes. “I’m so sorry about your sister’s husband. Also, send my apologies to Maggie. I’ll take my leave now.”

Without waiting for Moses to respond, she flagged down a taxi cab. Aboard the cab, she instructed the cab driver to take her to the airport.

When Olivia returned much later to her mum’s ward, she was informed that her mum was going nowhere. Maggie had suddenly regressed in her recovery. And her heart was weak.

“What have I done!” Olivia burst out crying.

There is a saying that time flies when you are having so much fun. This was the case with Leon and Ella.

It was just a few days back when they stepped into the enchanting Beryl Hula island. Having spent four days of fun-filled and romantic activities. They were finally spending their last day together on the island.

During the previous days, they were engaged in so many mind-blowing activities.

They chartered a yacht and sailed to other islands on fun-filled expeditions like; a collection of different species of sea shells, mountain hiking and bike ride on some notable mountain trails, deep sea diving and exploration of magical marine creatures, trying out different tasty cuisines, shopping at different island mini market for rare collections, visiting art gallery and museum, and so many other fun activities.

They also went scuba diving, horseback riding on the beach, parasailing through the enchanting sky, taking a sunset cruise on a kayak with Leon paddling, sunbathing on the beach together, touring in the wild game reserve, gambling at the island casino and on a particular night, clubbing and dancing till morning hours.

The sun was setting at the enchanting Beryl Hula island. The breathtaking silhouetted palm trees gave off a picturesque ambiance. The ocean waves crashed softly at the sea shore. And the misty smell of the ocean breeze was irresistibly compelling.

Ella felt drawn to the ocean as she walked by her husband’s side to have dinner.

Leon held her in his arms, with her head leaning on his shoulder.

“I thought we were having dinner at the Salmon Hula restaurant,” Ella asked calmly as Leon led her towards a tranquil and private side of the beach.

But before Leon could respond, Ella saw a breathtaking sight from afar.

She was too captivated and swept with emotions that she stood transfixed in awe. Her jade green eyes radiated under the pale tint orange color of the setting sun. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she turned her hypnotic gaze to Leon.

Leon lovingly took her into his arms, wiped her tears away, and kissed her tenderly.

“I want you to know from this very moment that you mean so much to me. And I will always cherish and respect you. I will never let anything or anyone hurt you as long as I live. I...” He paused for a while. He was sure of his feeling for Ella now but was worried she might take it the wrong way. “You are my best friend.”

Ella responded to his heartwarming confession by kissing him passionately. After the kiss, she hugged him for a while, allowing their heartbeat to synchronize.

“Let’s go have dinner,” Leon whispered into her ears.

His warm breath mixed with the cool ocean breeze brought goosebumps to her skin. And she shuddered with excitement.

“Okay,” Ella said softly and returned her gaze to the lovely sight ahead.

On the pathway to the outdoor romantic beach dinner, were beautifully patterned rose petals decoration. By each side of the pathway, stood magically decorated and glimmering candle lights. The dancing candlelight were well secured from the night breeze by a patterned arrangement of; a transparent heart-shaped candle holder and a red circular-shaped candle holder.

A table for two was set in the middle of a captivating tent. Open white curtains of shells gave the place a pure and distinctive touch. The yellow floral arrangement stood out with the golden shades of the up lighting and table lighting. Above the open tent was a perfect picture of the starry sky.

Also, the white decorations glimmered golden as the setting sun and the candle lighting turned it into a magical scene.

Towards the edge of the table, two exquisite candle stand glimmered with flickering lights. An expensive bottle of red wine was set with two wine glasses. And a delectable meal and table wears were set appealingly. While soft and serene romantic music played in the background.

When both couples came closer to the table, Ella whispered seductively into Leon’s ears.

“Mr. Leon Treshvire, are you trying to make me fall hopelessly in love with you?” Her eyes shimmered under the brightly illuminated tent.

Leon stroked her flushed cheeks tenderly and planted a kiss on her cherry-pink lips. “Is it working, Mrs. Ariella Treshvire?” He asked as he gazed affectionately into her eyes.

“Maybe,” Ella giggled and took a seat that Leon pulled out for her.

After one of the best dinners of her life, Leon carried Ella in his arms, back to the glass house.

Inside the bedroom, the floor and bed were covered with rose petals. The room was illuminated with alluring red starry lights. A mild mixture of jasmine rose and musk fragrance filled the air. And soft music played in the background.

Leon placed Ella gently on the bed and lay very close to her. He kissed her tenderly on her lips and placed her head on his chest. He cuddled her tightly as his mind drifted from his body.

They both had strong emotions that night that was on the verge of rupturing.

Ella’s heart kept thumping, she wanted to give Leon her all. Deep down, she had fallen in love with him after barely a week of marriage. If she is already in love with him so early into the marriage contract, she wondered how she would uphold the other conditions.

This night was a special night for both of them. She didn’t want it to end by just sleeping off on Leon’s chest. She wanted more. No more holding back. Twenty-four years and still a virgin wasn’t a record she wanted to keep any longer. She had waited long enough. This was the right moment and place to give it all up.

“Leon,” she spoke softly, “I want you to make love to me.”
