209 A Mother’s Malicious Advice

“Do you mean to tell me that Ella had you trapped in her arms with a knife to your neck and you escaped from her unscathed? Mum, come on, I know my wife better.” Leon responded to his mother’s accusation in disgust.

“You know her better!” Marissa scoffed and chuckled bitterly.

“Yes, mum! I know she’s not capable of holding a knife to your neck the way you are exaggerating it.”

“Well, maybe I exaggerated but If you claim you know your wife better, then how come you just found out today that she is two months pregnant for you?”

Yvonne chuckled but said nothing as she watched the blood drain from Leon’s face.

“Are you aware that everyone in this family already knew about Ella’s pregnancy before you? Even your baby sister found out this information from her before coming down to the island. How come she doesn’t find you worthy enough to receive that news but finds your dying father and Nana worthy.” Marissa retorted back, unfazed by Leon’s darkened eyes.

Leon felt the need to defend his wife before his mother and sister. But his mum’s words struck him to the very core of his heart.

Everything his mum was saying, even though out of spite for Ella was the truth and once more, Leon’s rage was fueled against Ella.

“Aren’t you going to say something else to defend her? Can’t you see that she’s gambling with you and this family? Leon, that lady has been bad news ever since she stepped into our family. All she ever wanted from you was your wealth. She doesn’t respect you and I doubt if she truly loves you. No woman would hide such vital information from her husband if she truly cares about him.”

.....

“I’ve heard enough, mum!” Leon massage his throbbing head as rage poisoned his mind. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“Son, you know I love you so much. I may have made mistakes in the past but I’ll always have good intentions for you. I’m not asking you to break up with your wife. No, no! All I’m telling you is that you shouldn’t give Ella the chance to ride on you the way she’s doing right now. Make her know that you are the man of the house. Put her where she belongs!”

While Marissa was still speaking, Monica who had been listening and watching all the drama unfold, from the sideline, walked into the sitting room. She was amazed by Marissa’s wicked advice to her son and she felt sorry for Ella.

When She saw that no way looked her way, she cleared her throat noisily to gain their attention. But instead of a warm response, all she got were chilly glares from all three pairs of eyes.

“Monica! Really! Are you blind? Can’t you see that we’re having a family discussion?” Marissa flared up at her intrusiveness.

“I’m s...sorry, m...ma’am!” Monica apologized while fidgeting under Leon’s frosty scowls.

“By the way, Nana specifically told me that you have been settled handsomely for this month. So, your services are no longer required here.” Marissa stressed her last sentence with irritation.

“I...I...I know ma’am!”

Monica turned around to leave out of fright but quickly did a U-turn back when she remembered the reason behind showing her face in the first place.

“M...m...” Monica didn’t get to finish her statement when Leon’s voice thundered on her.

“Are you stupid or something? Why do you keep interrupting us? If you have something to say, say it or get lost!”

Monica felt a drop of urine escape her body as Leon’s booming voice stifled her terrified spirit, while almost causing her trembling legs to give way to her bulky body.

The only good thing that Leon’s loud and harsh voice did for Monica was that it instantly cured her stuttering.

“I have something to say!”

Monica rushed her words in panic as though a gun was pointed at her forehead.

“Then say it for goodness sake!” Yvonne yelled impatiently.

“It’s about Master’s wife and Miss Ivory.”

“You know where they are?”

Leon advanced toward Monica still wearing his monstrous expression. This made the terror-stricken Monica take frightened steps backward until Leon stopped moving.

“Speak up, woman!” Leon said between clenched jaws. “I’m not going to eat you! Just tell me where my wife and sister are! I do not have the whole day to search for them!”

“Okay!” Monica breathed in sharply. “Your wife made mention of taking Miss Ivory to a special place that Nana Esther once showed the both of you.”

“You’re certain about this?” Leon asked in a surprisingly calm tone.

His sudden switch in mood got Monica wondering if she was hallucinating.

“Yes, sir!”

“Did she say where the place was?” Yvonne asked slyly.

“No, ma’am.”

“Is that all you wanted to say?” Leon asked in a subtler tone, causing Monica’s horrified face to break up into a feverish smile.

“Yes, sir!”

“Thank you, Monica. You can go now.” Leon waved his hand dismissively.

“Thank you too, sir and I’m sorry for my intrusion.”

Leon responded by nodding his head and waving his hand for her to leave immediately. Then he turned his attention back to his mum and spoke in a placid tone which was in contrast to his disoriented emotions.

“Mum, I’m sorry about the way Ella behaved arrogantly before you and for threatening you with a knife. I will caution her and I promise, it will never repeat itself.” 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

“It better not because next time, I will not be civil with her.” Marissa hissed and turned her face away from Leon.

“But mum I need a favor in return.”

“What?”

“I need you and Yvonne to stop hassling my wife. I’ve seen the way the both of you oppressed her before and if you keep going after her that way, you can’t blame her when she reacts negatively.

“Then inform her to mind her boundaries.” Marissa shot back aggressively at Leon.

“This is my house now and she’s only welcome here till after the funeral. Afterward, I don’t want to see her anywhere around this property, ever!”

“We will see about that!” Leon replied between gritted teeth and stormed out of the house.

“Yes! Good job, mum!” Yvonne said triumphantly, punching both hands in the air before giving Marissa a squishy hug.

“This is the beginning of that evil witch’s misery.” Marissa beamed with satisfaction.
