"Landon"
"Go away"
"We need to talk" I banged the door, yet no reply
"Landon, baby please"
"I'm never listening to your lies"
" Landon open up"
" Leave me alone"
I paced around,
" Let's both go out with Malcolm just as you wanted"
" I don't want to go anywhere with you" he replied.
I needed Tia to try coax him
I went downstairs to see Nina helping herself to huge delicacies lined in front of her.
The woman had guts.
"Tia" I called out, and she came immediately.
"Pack everything, not a single dish should remain"
Nina rolled her eyes.
"This is nothing compared to what I eat daily" she scoffed.
"Than go back and continue eating what you eat daily"
"I'll only go back when I've succeeded in kicking you out"
" You won't, no matter what you try"
" I won't be so confident if I were you"
"What did you tell Lan? I asked
"Ohh" she relaxed against the couch, crossing her legs.
"That you were cheating on him? And that the guy in dark goggles was one of the men you were seeing, it's pretty easy to manipulate him in his condition"
"You have no shame Nina" my blood boiled with rage.
"How Could you?
" Too easy" she replied, unbothered.
I wanted to hold her by the hair, and kick her out.
I had to be calm, I could not give her and Gareth the chance they'd been looking for.
"Tia come with me" I ignored her.
Tia followed me, and we both went upstairs.
"Can you open up Landon?
" No"
She tried again..
" I prepared your favorite, I want to play another game with you too"
" The both of you should go away" he replied.
Tia stared at me helplessly.
"Go on Tia, I'll take it from here"
"Landon, hear me out" I knocked on the door.
There was no response from him.
Heck!
This man wasn't going to give in easily, I knew how stubborn he was.
I went back to my room, trying to concentrate on emails, and drafting documents for work.
But I could barely concentrate.
He was the only thing on my mind.
The next morning, I got Tia to help me.
He had to give in this time.
If Gareth and Nina Could play dirty, I also could.
"Good morning Lan" Tia continued despite the lack of response from him
"Gareth is here to see you"
"Gareth is there? He asked.
I urged Tia to go on.
" Yes he is, and he want to see you"
She said, and I could hear the sound of footsteps.
The door opened and he stood staring from Tia to me.
"Liars are very bad, I hate liars" his eyes were on me.
"We need to talk" I walked in before he could bolt the door.
"I do not want to talk to you" he turned away.
I moved closer, wrapping my arms around him.
" Are you tired of me? Will you leave me for him?
If only he knew that I could never leave him for anything.
" I'm not going to leave you Kingston, I love you, I really do"
"What is Bexley to you then? He sounded so cute, I could not help but smile.
" Bexley is only a staff at the company, he's not even as handsome as you "
He turned,
" Are you sure? His eyes searched mine.
"I've never seen a more handsome man than the one in front of me"
He smiled, a blush crept across his cheeks.
"I love you Ren, spend the day with me"
"Of course" I replied, wrapping my arms around him.
"I love you very much" I whispered,
"I would never leave you for anything baby" I stared deeply into his preety eyes.
"Will you make out more time for me please?
"I will" I hugged him and kissed his cheeks.
I had to look for a way to get Gareth and Nina out.
If they stayed another week, they would pollute the relationship between Landon and I.
"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
