Leo placed Ellie in his car and drove off to his apartment.
Ellie was amazed at the beautiful decorations of the sitting room. The cushions were exquisite, the walls were adorned with shiny artwork adding a touch of sophistication to the room.
She was still admiring the sitting room when suddenly a strong hand pulled her into the bedroom.
The scent of fresh flowers wafted into her nose, like a source of warm welcome to her. A plush king sized bed dominated the room, its rich wood frame adorned with intricate carvings.
Ellie was still lost in the beauty of the room when a force pushed her onto the bed, looking above she saw Leo taking off its clothes, looking at her with eyes full of passion, a trace of panic appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Leo leaned down and pressed his lips to the girl before him as though he was a moth drawn to flame. His action was both frenzied and desperate, his kisses grew rapid as his hands fumbled around her body hastily.
He just couldn't explain but there is something about her that seems to make him lose control. She is doing things to his body that he can't explain and he is scared, scared of that feeling, scared of falling in love. To him love is a sign of weakness and he hated it.
A lone drop of tear slipped out of the corner of Ellie's eyes. Leo noticed her resistance and stopped.
He brought out a gun, pointed it at Ellie questioning "You deliberately seduced me, what are your intentions?...Isn't this what you wanted".
Ellie terrified, said in her most calm voice "I don't have any ill intentions, I am genuinely attracted to you and I really like you".
"Then it may interest you to know that I don't believe in love".
"Then, how about we make it grow overtime?" Ellie asked, allowing her fingers to stroke his chest in a flirtatious way.
Leo felt his heartbeat quickened and he quickly caught her hand.
Leo could tell that she is lying and she definitely has a reason for approaching him. He made up his mind to keep her close until he finds out her true intentions.
"Get some sleep" Leo told Ellie and kissed her on the forehead.
Then he walked to the balcony to smoke wondering to himself "what is becoming of me?"
"why does this girl has the ability to quickly stir my emotions without doing too much?".
Ellie woke up, her cheeks pressed against a hard chest and a strong hand around her waist, she jumped up surprised only to find Leo in the bed beside her. Realizing she had been sleeping close to him the whole night she immediately blushed.
Leo woke up to find Ellie all dressed preparing to leave. She expressed her fears to him saying she won't be able to work in the club anymore as she will be bullied because of what happened.
Leo told her not to worry saying she has his protection and no one would dare bully her. He gave her his signet ring assuring her that when she presents the ring, everyone will give her the respect she deserves.
