A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

230 Pinky Swear!

Ella looked up in the direction of Yvonne piercing voice and was alarmed at the horrified look in her eyes.

From the way Yvonne shouted and the way she glowered at Ella, one could mistake Ella for an evil witch about to trick an innocent child into eating a candid that would transform him into a rat.

Everyone, who was busy discussing and enjoying the beautiful family moment outside instantly stopped what they were doing and turned in Ella’s direction.

Ella quickly shook off the temporal panic in her eyes due to the disappointed look in Ethan’s eyes. She could see that the little boy was terrified due to his mum’s chilly call and was on the verge of crying. His little hands were still outstretched in the air hoping to get a swing ride with her.

“Was I a naughty boy? Mummy sounds mad!” Ethan complained innocently as he dropped down his arms and wrap them around one of Ella’s legs as if it was a shield.

“Ethan!” Ella called softly and sweetly. “Your mummy can never be mad at you. She loves you so much because you, my darling, are her little warrior knight.” Ella gently stroked his hair and slowly unwrapped his little hands from her leg.

“Am I really mummy’s warrior knight?” Ethan asked innocently as he slowly rubbed his hands on his watery eyes.

“Yes, my darling, and mummy loves you so much.” Ella quickly wiped the tears from Ethan’s eyes as she noticed a chubby lady and Yvonne run towards her.

“Promise me to always listen to mummy and daddy!” Ella smiled as she observed the earlier disappointment vanish from Ethan’s eyes.

.....

“I promise!” Ethan said excitedly.

“Pinky swear!” Ella stuck out her little right finger before Ethan while beaming at him.

“Pinky swear!” Ethan locked his little right finger on Ella’s while giggling.

“Ethan!” Yvonne called sharply as she got closer to where Ella was seated.

“Mummy!” Ethan left Ella and ran to his mother. “Are you mad at me?”

“No, my darling!” Yvonne stooped low and hugged her child while flashing Ella a deadly stare.

“The beautiful lady says I’m your little warrior knight and that I should always listen to you and daddy!” Ethan pouted animatedly.

“She is right!” Yvonne said between gritted teeth, as she fondly stroked Ethan’s hair and signaled Cynthia to come get him.

“Ethan, go into the house with your nanny so that you can get some hot chocolate and cookies.” Yvonne kissed Ethan on the forehead and handed him over to Cynthia.

“Keep him in your sight, always!” Yvonne stressed each word angrily at Cynthia.

“Yes, ma’am,” Cynthia bowed politely and picked Ethan into her arm.

“Bye!”

Ethan waved at Ella as Cynthia hurriedly left her boss’s presence for fear of death by an invisible stray bullet.

While the commotion between Ethan, Ella, and Yvonne was ongoing, Maximus; who was stunned by Ella’s beauty started asking questions about her.

“Leon, is that who I think it is?” Maximus quizzed in fascination.

“If you’re referring to my wife, then yes, you’re correct,” Leon said proudly as he admired his pretty wife from afar. Images of the romantic morning they just shared flashed through his mind, making him elated and desirous of her.

“Wow! You’re one lucky man, bro!” Maximus beamed as he felt hypnotized just by staring at Ella.

“Hey! You’re married to my sister! So eyes off my wife!” Leon punched Maximus playfully on the shoulder.

“When did staring at a pretty lady ever hurt someone? Maximus chuckled. “By the way, has my wife come to terms with yours? Because, before she left our home, she kept venting about how much she dislikes your wife.”

“Story of my life!” Leon sighed. “Hopefully, now that you are here, things might turn around for the best. Just ensure that you give her enough ass-whooping. That would configure her brains and set her priorities straight.”

“Hahaha!’ Maximus chuckled due to Leon’s sense of humor. “Definitely, that would work!”

While Leon and Maximus were still talking, Maxwell; who initially left them to go receive a call came back with some strict directives.

“Maximus, you better go over there and get your wife into the house before she makes a fool of herself,” Maxwell said curtly.

“Yes, sir!” Maximus saluted Maxwell playfully and dashed off to do as he had been instructed.

“Leon, please assemble everyone inside the house. We all need to have a brief meeting.”

“Okay, uncle Max,” Leon replied and left to carry out Maxwell’s directive.

Yvonne felt enraged at the thought of having to agree to anything that came out of Ella’s mouth. She waited patiently for Cynthia to leave with Ethan before spewing her guts angrily at Ella.

“You evil witch...” Yvonne pointed her right forefinger in Ella’s face but kept her distance due to Ella’s fiery element of surprise. “...keep your disgusting claws away from my family. Otherwise, I’ll shred you to pieces and feed your smelly carcass to your poverty-stricken family.”

“Whoo! Whoo!! Whoo!!!” Maximus speedily came over and pulled Yvonne away from Ella.

“She doesn’t mean any of those words. We are very sorry!” Maximus apologized to Ella on behalf of his wife.

“No, I’m not sorry! Max!” Yvonne eyes widened in surprise and fury. “Are you taking her side, instead of mine? Has she succeeded in charming you too!”

“Babe! Come on! I flew more than a hundred kilometers to be with you! Why would I be on any other lady’s side, if not yours? Moreover, no one can ever charm me except you my honey bunny.” Maximus sensually grabbed and stroked her butt, sending shivers down her spine.

“Max! We are outside my grandma’s home!” Yvonne whispered shyly.

Her puffed-up face slowly turned red as she stared into her husband’s lustful eyes. She temporarily forgot about her personal vendetta with Ella and focused on Maximus’s captivating blue-green eyes that had a way of always making her melt in his arms.

“Come on, baby! I need some honey right now!” Maximus nuzzled her neck with his hawkish nose, making her giggle like a little spoilt child.

It didn’t take long before Maximus and Yvonne disappeared into the house, leaving everyone smiling and laughing out of their hearts.

Ella shook her head and smiled as Yvonne and Maximus left her sight.

Yvonne’s spiteful words replayed in her memories over and over again, feeling her with anger and hatred. But, the thought of Ethan’s sweetness and innocence washed over her troubled mind feeling her with hope and joy.

“Sweetheart!” Leon came and stood before her, wrapping his hands around her waist. He kissed her briefly on the lips and gazed into her eyes.

“Thanks for being an amazing auntie to my little nephew. He couldn’t stop talking about you.”

“You’re welcome!” Ella smiled while stroking his chin.

“Let’s go inside the house. Uncle Max is about to read the letter Nana wrote before she died.”

“Really!” Ella’s eyes brightened up at the mention of Nana Esther’s name.
