"I'll make it back to you when I get back"
"That's what you always say, I'm so lonely without you" his eyes clouded.
"You have Malcom, and his friend, what's the name again? I asked
"His friend's name his Jade" his eyes lit up.
"I'll play with you when I get back I promise"
He nodded.
"You'll be a good boy till I get back?
" Yes " he replied.
Landon was all I could think about at the meeting.
Tho I'd tightened security, I had to be with him every hour.
"Have you heard the news? Bexley asked bringing me out of my reverie.
" No I haven't "
There wasn't any time for me even check the news.
"We're ranking number one currently, the investment was a huge success"
I smiled.
"You did well" he added
I knew how difficult it was for him to say those words, but I felt good.
My husband's company was not facing bankruptcy, instead it was moving forward every day.
"We do need to trust your decisions, I must admit" Mr jerkins smiled at me.
" I appreciate y'all's trust and support, to more greater heights "
" Why don't we host a small gathering to celebrate this? Bexley asked
"Not bad" I replied.
"Leave it to me, you just have to grace the gathering with your lovely presence " he smiled.
One thing I learnt about buisness was the benefit of profit, it was what kept one on the safe spot.
Even if they didn't care about me, the profit I was making was beneficial to them,
In due time, they could accept my leadership totally.
Bexley could host the party, Mr jerkins could attend to the foreign investors, I had to be home right now.
The doctor was on his way for another session with Kingston.
I had to be there.
The moment I arrived home, the Doctor was already waiting in the living room.
"How long have you been waiting?
" Just thirty minutes"
" I'm sorry.."
"You are a very busy woman, no need to apologize" he adjusted his glasses
"Let's go upstairs then" I led the way.
The moment Landon saw the doctor,his face turned sour.
He knew what was coming, I too could not stand it.
But in order for him to get better, I had no choice..
Landon backed away slowly, covering his head with his hands..
"No needles, no needles" he yelled.
"Calm down Landon" I did not want him to get another panic attack.
"You want to get better right? Calm down, breathe" I walked towards him.
"No, get him away from me" he yelled, throwing away his toys.
" Landon " I reached for him.
His hand held mine.
" Please don't let him "
I held him, as his body racked against mine.
"you have to let him"
"No I won't"
"Please"
"I'll take you out, I'll do whatever you want"
I held him, staring into his Preety brown eyes.
"What do you want? I asked, threading carefully.
" I want out.. I want to go out with you and malcom.. I want out, I want it "
" Okay, I'll go out with you "
I signalled out the doctor who stood watching the scene.
He came forward, bringing forward his injection.
I held Landon, letting him bury his face against me.
I couldn't watch as the Doctor injected him.
He held me tightly sniffing.
"You'll be fine, I promise"
"He'll be fine, he will only feel weak for some minutes"
"Thank you Doctor"
"I'll be back to check on him"
Landon held me, his eyes closed.
I would not give up on him.
I would fix Landon, no matter what it cost me, I could protect and be his shield.
Till he returns, as the most wealthiest and unbeatable Man in L A.
I stayed home through out the day, working and attending to emails on my laptop till Nina and Gareth showed up, with an elderly man holding big brown documents.
"Why are the both of you here?
My eyes lingered on the suitcase, Gareth held.
" Since you won't give Landon over, we've decided to stay here"
" You won't, I won't let you stay here" I stared at him.
" What will you do? Do you want to meet in court? Thankfully I brought a lawyer"
" I don't care about you or your half baked lawyer, I won't let you stay "
" You have no right " Nina pointed to the mansion.
" This is his brother's house, and we'll both stay here"
" You will no, I'll go to court and face the both of you"
" Please don't" Nina's tone changed.
I knew Nina to be very dramatic, I didn't figure out why she was putting on an act.
" I'm pleading with you"she continued
"He really wants to stay with Landon, he loves him, he wants to play with him, he wants to be there for you, what do you gain by seperating two brothers?
"Please Ren, please let me be with my brother,
Three days is enough for me, please" Gareth joined in.
"You can both stay"
I turned, and Landon was behind me, a frown etched on his face.
"Ren, let them stay" Landon's eyes were on Gareth
"Landon they can't..I...."
"Let them stay please, you are always at work, the house is quiet and lonely"
I could not refuse him this Time, he could definitely make a fuss if I didn't allow Gareth stay.
" I got you new toys and snacks " Gareth smiled.
"Thank you brother" Landon smiled
I wanted to take Gareth out, and put a bullet to his chest.
Gareth staying over was bad news.
He would fill Landon with lies.
He could try his possible best to create a rift between Landon and I.
He could do it with the help of Nina.
The con manipulative bitch.
"Let's go upstairs, Landon" I took his hands.
Gareth eyed me.
"There's something I want to tell you Landon, can you stay with me?
Landon stopped, his eyes flickered from my face to Gareth's.
"Please" Gareth pleaded
"Landon you're with going to choose Gareth or me" I said and Nina rolled her eyes.
" Don't make me choose" Landon looked down.
" I want to spend time with you Landon and if you're going to pick Gareth, don't bother coming to me"
It was petty, but it was all I could do to stop Gareth from interacting with Landon
"Landon we have to talk" I bang on his door."What do you want?" Open up and I'll tell you exactly what I want "A click, and the door opened.Our eyes locked for a while, he turned away straight back to his desk." Landon "" What's it Ren?"Really?Silence.."This is what you want Landon?He clenched his fist together, refusing to look at me."Landon""Yes" "This is what I want"" Really?"Yeah""Look at me then"His eyes remain stubbornly glued to the desk and the toys and the paper and colors."It's no use""You want this" "I'm giving you what you want...""How do you know what I want Landon...""I'm only making it easier for you" he shrugs."Easier for everyone""Landon...""I already signed, you can go ahead""I can't.."He looks up, our eyes meet and he looks away again."I'm doing this for you, I don't want you to be tied to me, what if I don't get better or anything... you should live your life and be happy with whoever...""Do you think I'll be happy with whoever.. Landon
"Beautiful as always" his eyes swept over me."I'm jealous""Why?" That you're already taken, mrs Ren Kingston, I'd love you by my side" he smiled.And I returned his smile." You're also taken""I'm not" he tapped his hands on the table."If you weren't taken would you choose me?A pause." Can we focus on work Mr Monticello..?He cleared his throat, his eyes still fixed on me. "Of course" he raised his eyebrows a faint smile on his lips."And before anything else, I'm absolutely single for real"I didn't want to pry.But still I didn't think there was anyway he was single, attractive, dashing and owner of one of the highest company in LA "Mmh" I replied.We went straight to work and the project, it was easy working with Gray, he was not like some other client, he understood and brought out new ideas on how to promote the project...There was something about him, his calm demeanor, he was the only one who I'd disclose some personal informations to.He struck me like someone I coul
"you should speak with Landon""No Tia" I replied."Not now""I'm giving him the space he needs for now"" He doesn't want that, he's been sulking a lot lately, with a lot of anger issues lately"I look away from my laptop." Talking to him will...."" Tia"" You no longer spend time with him"" The workload increased"Truly it did, pile of work at the office and I had to find my way to navigate and see through every sheduled plan. " He's not happy, he doesn't talk much with mz, and the evil duo are spending way more time with him"" It hurts that was can't kick them out" I stare at the text in front of me." They'll influence him negatively"" They would but it's Left to him to believe them or me, there's nothing much left "" I care about Landon and it's distressing to know that he keeps picking the Very one who might have been responsible for his ordeal"I had no evidence to back this up but still I believed that they were all part of this.With how greedy they were for LRK, they
The next morning I move straight to work after giving instructions to Tia to take care of Landon for the hundredth time.I care about him, I know he doesn't understand, I know someday he will, and I love him very much.I try to focus on the piles of documents and files that need to be sorted out.I arrive home from the office early, straight back to my room.I'm really stressed about the rest of the family, and I don't know, I can't think of a way to easily throw them out without any further complications with Landon.He was my only weakness and they had already begin to use him, to capitalize on the situation.My phone beep.A text from Monticello, another scheduled meeting, I tossed my phone aside.So much work.It was not easy being Landon Kingston, there was always something to be done, always work, more and work at the office.It was not easy being the wealthiest man in LA.And yet Landon' had shouldered the responsibility all by himself before his enemies won. Now I was on the
"what are you doing? I asked NanShe shrugged." I needed some money.. "" You didn't ask, you transferred money out of Landon's bank app?Another disadvantage of leaving Landon home with the witches.They were always looking for ways to exploit."I don't have to ask your opinion, Landon is family and u can.."That's it."Where were you when he needed you?She rolled her eyes "What do you need 10 million for?" Landon has over hundred million, ten million is nothing.. "" Selfish bitch "" Ren " Landon interrupted, blinking innocently, his eyes darting from Nan to me.Of course not.I want to jump on her, on everyone of them.My blood books at the sight of them, but because of Landon I have to act as the loving peace maker which I was not."You see Landon, your wife doesn't give a fuçk about us""I wouldn't not in this life or next""Ren please""No Landon" " Just let them be... ""Landon you don't... "" Please "" I'm sorry for whatever they've done in the past "" You're sorry be
"for the next project, what should we work on?Gray's eyes were fixed on me.My thoughts were on Landon, I was worried about him, always worried about having to leave him with the rest of the wolves."Uhhh.. what do you think? I asked" Talking about something new we can invent to make the idea way more presentable "" Are you okay? Gray ask.A pause."Is Landon okay? He asked.I can't tell him that I'm worried, I can't tell him about Nan, Gareth and Nina who were going to do all it takes to get me out of this position." There's nothing wrong " I Shaked my head." Landon is okayy"" You look worried " his eyes were filled with genuine concern." I'm okay Gray, let's focus..... "" Ren"" We could postpone this meeting so you can go home.. "" I'm okay Gray " I smiled." Trust me "" I care about Landon and I Care about you very much, his eyes locked with mine."We can skip this meeting if there's something urgent..""Gray....""I understand you Ren, I've Loved someone too, so I know
