chapter 19

LYXARIA.

The moment we entered into the back seat of his car, Leonardo placed his hands on my thighs again.

I shifted slightly and looked at the driver that was sitting in the front seat.

I looked at him,wanting him to stop but his hands went further.

When he looked down at my thighs his eyes immediately darkened.

"How did this happened?" He pointed at the grip mark that was on my thighs.

"What do you think?" I glared at him.

It's all his fault when he decided to grip my thighs so hard.

"Was it me?" I could see the remorse on his face.

I quickly turned to him and held his face for him to face me. "It doesn't hurt okay? I barely noticed it was there"

I could see the hesitation in his eyes. I had a feeling this had to do with the way he grew up.

I just met his father and i can say that he is not your favorite person.

I felt his hands caress my thighs as he stroked the red skin that was visible on my thighs.

He was so focused doing it like doing so will make the redness go away.

"Let's go to the hospital " he suddenly said.

"For what?" I was getting confused.

"Frank take us to the hospital immediately." He ignored my question and ordered the driver.

"Why are we going to the hospital?" I asked him again.

"To ensure this does not leave any mark." He said stroking my thighs once again.

"I'm pretty sure it won't leave a mark. It will be gone in a few days." I tried convincing him.

"We don't have a few days. Our wedding is in four days. I can't let my bride have a scar before her wedding. You must be spotless."

I was short of words. I have never seen anyone act this way because of a little mark that will fade away.

I decided to keep quiet as I watched the driver drive towards the hospital.

The moment we arrived at the hospital, the staffs quickly directed us towards the VIP section.

The hospital was so huge that I felt like I could get lost just by standing there.

"Look Leo, it's not so serious I promise. Let's not disrupt the doctor's work by letting him attend to something that isn't even merely a scratch." I tried talking him out of this.

" Don't worry little lamb, it will be okay."

I had a feeling he was not even listening to what I was saying. He brought out his phone and began browsing online. I peeped at his phone and sure enough it was about my 'wound'

The website only made things worse because they were showing far worse images than what had really happened.

The doctor quickly arrived and I saw the change in Leonardo's eyes when he saw that it was a male doctor.

"There is no way you are going to attend to her" he immediately refused.

"Huh?"

"Sir I assure you that this is a professional work and it will be treated as such." The doctor quickly explained.

"Where are the female doctors?" Leonardo inquired.

"They are not available at the moment. If you can just step into the room let's have a look at the wound then everything will be fine." I could feel the nervousness of the doctor as he led us into the room.

" Can you please sit on the bed ma'am let's check the wound" the doctor asked me pointing towards the bed.

I could feel the cold air coming out of Leonardo but I decided not to look at him. It's all his fault that we are here to begin with.

I sat on the bed and raised up my gown for the doctor to see the 'wound'. I did not raise it up too high so that Leonardo won't throw a fuse. I never knew he was this possessive.

"It's just a slight discoloration and it will be down in a few days. There is no need to worry about it so much." The doctor concluded after he had checked the wound.

"Prescribe a cream for her. I need the mark gone before tomorrow" he commanded again.

He should know that the doctor is not one of his men that he orders around.

"Sir, there is no cream that will entirely take away the discoloration in less than one day but I can describe something for her."

The doctor handed me the prescription and I had to drag Leonardo out of the doctor's office. Not literally.

As we were on our way to the pharmacy that was located downstairs, Leonardo's phone rang.

"Why don't you go ahead little lamb, I'll meet you in a minute." He rubbed my head smoothing out my hair that was still in a slick bun. I can't wait to get home and wash off the gel on it.

I nodded, heading straight for the pharmacy. I wonder what the issue was this time around.

Once I reached the pharmacy, I had to wait till it was my turn before I could go up to the counter.

" Hey beautiful " I heard the pharmacist say once I walked up.

I turned around to ensure that he was talking to me.

" I'm talking to you if that's what you are looking for" he winked. I felt like barfing. I decided to ignore him and hand him the prescription.

" I guess your man was too rough" he stated when he read through the prescription.

" What do you mean?" I was totally confused.

" I guess he groped you too hard since you need this cream." He continued.

I felt so angry.

" What's the meaning of this?" I asked him angrily.

" There is no need to be shy pretty woman, I know your type." He was about to touch my cheek when a hand from behind me suddenly held it.

I turned around to see Leonardo standing behind him and gripping his hand in a deathly grip.

The face of the pharmacist immediately turned red from the pain.

" I'm so sorry. I did not mean to offend you sir." He cried trying to release himself from Leonardo's grip.

" How dare you try and touch her with your disgusting hand?" He dragged the pharmacist across the counter towards where we were standing.

That was so strong. And it did not seem like he took any effort in dragging the pharmacist out.

"I'm sorry sir, I won't do it again" he groaned in pain. I looked around and I was surprised no one was there.

"Leo it's okay. Let's go" I tapped him gently on his shoulder but he did not bulge.

I tried calling him again and this time his only reaction was letting the pharmacist's hand fall to the ground before stepping on it with his shoes.

My eyes grew wide when I heard the crushing sounds of the bone.
