struck a cord

Leon was on the road driving really fast .He could not even let her stay a whole ten minutes with him he hated that thought.

He drove even faster when he though of what they could be doing being that she must be really happy and appreciative toward him for bailing her out.

He got to her house which he thought was really small.

He though of where she might be and for her to go back home was the best idea that came to mind.

He pushed open the gate that was a bit rusty and unlockable and let himself in.

He picked up a small thin stick ready to break the lock when the door pushed opened .

He wondered why it was not locked and it made him believe that she was inside.

He walked in and could faintly smell dust .

He looked all over the house but found nobody.

He walked to the two bedrooms and walked to one that was purple in colour and he assumed it must be Ambers from the overly girlish decore.

He looked around and his eyes fell on the framed picture of her as a baby .

"Cute" he said placing it in his inner coat pocket.

His curiosity got the best of him and he started going through her things.

He noticed how cramped but organised the room was ,she didn't have too many clothes or shoes and he wondered how people survive like this.

He took out an envelope from a drawer and started going through it.

"Hm so she's that smart " he said staring at her highschool result slip where she got straight A's"

After he was done there he decided to leave since he could tell no one had been there in the whole months time.

"Hello " he made a call once he got to his car.

"Yes sir"

"I need you to tell me exactly where my girlfriend is in the next thirty minutes"

"which one sir .. the new one?" asked the person on the other line sounding very nervous . He knew the question would offend him but he did not want to make mistakes.

"What kind of question is that I only have one girlfriend Amber Armstrong look for her and tell me where she is in thirty minutes" he hung up the phone immediately.

He decided to go home and check there although he knew she would not be there .

.....

"Son you're home early did you forget something " said his dad Jacob when he almost walked past them to his room.

"Oh hey mom , dad .. sorry I didn't see you ."

"It's ok son ... is everything ok you seem bothered. " Leon contemplated on whether to tell them or not but he knew sooner or later they would know.

"Amber got bailed out "

"What!" shouted Banis who just got in the room.

"What are you saying son"

"By whom?"

"When and why have we not been informed?" They bombarded him with questions .

"Ok everyone listen.. She was bailed out yesterday and you won't even believe me if I tell you by whom"

"Tell us ..." said Banis seeming impatient and annoyed.

"Benson Martini the owner of ...." he said when he got cut off.

"You mean Benson Martini the owner of INC.tech and the entire Martini empire" Said Banis to have her parents mouths drop.

"No way how would she even be acquitted to him she's a low life and he's Benson ... freaking Benson!" Said Banis and everyone noticed how disturbed she was.

"Yes Son how do they know each other" Asked Mary with a frown.

"Then met back in new york"

"I knew it she's a whore out for money .She must be sleeping with him" Said Banis and Leon clenched his fists at her words.

Leon left their company and went to his room.

Banis on the other hand was fumming Mad .She has always stalked Ben on social media and she has always had a crush on him ever since he went public.

She was angry at how Amber got all the good men ... First her brother Leon and now Benson. She was beyond angry and more than determined to bring her down. She also left for her room and made a call to Matilda.

Leon got to his room and decided to take a cold shower to cool his nerves.

When Banis said that they might be sleeping together it struck a cord in him and he could not stop thinking about it.

His mind went back to when Ben almost kisses Amber and he punched the bathroom wall countless times and only stopped when his knuckles started bleeding.

He got out the shower intending to go to the bar to cool off.

He knew even though he ordered his employee to deliver the information after thirty minutes it might take longer than that considering she's with Benson.

He thought that they might probably be out of the country and all he could do was wait.

He took his phone to see ten misses calls and called back immediately.

"Hello sir I got the address ."

"Send it immediately."

He dressed up after the call and got his car keys and left.
