297 An Intruder
Leon was surprised to see eight fully armed security men, standing before him and ready to storm into the office.
“Sir, are you alright? Has the intruder been captured? Do you need us to come in and bundle him or her out?” The head security guard stretched her neck to look beyond Leon.
But Leon quickly came out of the office and shut the door behind him. His face darkened, as he glowered at the security guards.
“What’s the meaning of this rubbish? Have you all lost your mind?” Leon transferred the aggression of the mess he was currently in toward the guards.
“Umm...We’re sorry, sir.” The leader of the security guards bowed politely while scratching his head. “We were told that there was a crazy intruder inside Miss Chu’s office and that you were being held hostage at gunpoint.”
“What the hell! Who fed you that trash?” Leon narrowed and darkened eyes glared from one security guard to the other.
“She did!” The head security guard pointed at Xia’s secretary, who was already trembling by the corner.
“How dare you disgusting animal spread false rumor,” Leon thundered furiously in the direction of the secretary.

.....
Leon was so furious that the insolent secretary had just tagged his precious wife as a crazy intruder.
“Yes, sir!”
One of the security guards swiftly swung into action. He quickly pulled Xia’s secretary by the arm and dragged her out of the office, while she was crying and begging Leon to show mercy.
Leon further instructed the security guard to clear the entire floor, where Xia’s office was located. He didn’t want anyone else nosing around or intruding on the dicey affairs happening in the office.
“Yes, sir.” The head security guard bowed politely and left with his men, to execute Leon’s instruction
Taking a deep breath to steady his skyrocketing heartbeat, Leon slowly stepped into the office and quietly shut the door behind him.
He stood for a while, leaning his back on the door as he tried to assemble his thoughts.
The sight of Xia’s messy body, her whimpering, and her trembling made Leon feel both repulsive and sorry for her. This got him wondering how Ella was able to lure Xia into her net.
The taught of what Ella would have gotten out of Xia before inviting him over paralyzed his heart. He weighed the chance of either Xia or him leaving the office without a bullet wound and decided to try his luck with Ella.
“Ella, please, let’s talk about this in a more civil manner,” Leon slowly move towards her but she halted him on his track.
“Hold it right there, mister!” Ella said softly. “Keep your stinking pleas to yourself. “Have you properly deactivated the intrusion at the door? Because I wouldn’t appreciate anyone interrupting us the second time.”
“No one is going interrupt us.”
“Awesome!” Ella grinned. So, where did we stop?
“Ella, I’m begging you to please listen to...”
“Leon, I don’t need your annoying pleas! I just want some action,” Ella said in a soft voice. “If you were able to sleep with her before, why are you finding it difficult to do it again? Don’t you find her attractive anymore or do you need me to clear her desk for you? Come on, don’t kill the fun, and do not thirst my patience.”
“Ella, I’m begging you on everything you hold sacred. Please, let Xia go and punish me instead. If you need to shoot anyone, then let that person be me.” Leon clasped both hands and went down on his knees. “I don’t need her, except you. She was just a fling and nothing more.”
“Wow!” Ella started clapping while maintaining a devilish smile on her face. A vortex of fury gradually possessed her entire body as she scoffed at Leon.
“Impressive speech, hubby! Bravo! You will make an excellent blockbuster movie actor. However, I’m not buying your disgusting act. It is so downgrading and appalling to watch. If you think for a second that I’m going to shoot the father of my unborn child, then you don’t know me at all. The only person that I would most likely disfigure with my gun, is your slut, who had the temerity to frolic with my man.”

“P... please!” Xia cried out and looked at Leon to save her as she went on her knees, quivering vigorously.
It was at this point Leon saw Xia bruised face and this alarmed him greatly.
“You horny b**ch, you still think my husband will come to your rescue!” Ella asked mockingly. ”
“Ella, this is not you talking. Don’t allow your anger to make you do something you would regret. You’ve tortured Xia enough. Let her go and deal with me instead.”
“So you feel sorry for her, huh?” Ella’s tone conveyed her bitterness and brokenness.
“You feel sorry for the lady who slept with a married man, knowing fully well that his wife could be a demented psychopath. You feel sorry for the lady that tried to steal a pregnant lady’s husband? You feel sorry for the lady who almost made me lose my pregnancy the previous day. You feel sorry for her right?” A tear escaped Ella’s shimmering eyes but she quickly wiped it off and stifled her emotions.
“Ella, I’m very sorry for hurting you. Please, forgive me. Xia means nothing to me. You’re my everything.” Leon rose to his feet and moved closer to Ella.
“Stop right there, Leon!” Ella abruptly stood up and picked up her gun. “Stop with the fake pleading and remorse. You’re not sorry. You only feel sorry because you got caught.
“Come on b... Ella! It was foolish of me to have gone for Xia when I had a perfect wife like you. I made a mistake messing around with her and I’m ready to make amends. Please, give me the chance to write my wrong. You’re all I want.”
“A mistake!” Ella felt five knots lose simultaneously from her head.
