MEL POV
“Melanie your Uber is here!” My mom yells from the bottom downstairs and I rush down kissing her on the cheek as a goodbye.
I decided to go visit Leo at home, considering we hadn’t seen each other in almost a week, I haven’t slept properly without him and I am way too horny to wait any longer.
I haven’t had sex with Leo in five days so I can speak for us both when I say we need to fuck.
I wore a long-sleeved top and my short black pencil skirt, I put on a black lace lingerie and was planning to get fucked by Leo tonight.
I realized that I can’t live a day without Leo, After my conversation with Javier he made me realize that Leo does love me and would never do anything to hurt me in any way, he was only protecting me and I should appreciate him instead of pushing him away.
I climbed into the Uber and told the driver Leo’s address.
The whole ride to Leo’s house, I could only imagine being in his arms again and inhaling the fresh scent of his expensive cologne.
The driver pulled up in Leo’s mansion and I couldn’t help but get a warm feeling in my stomach because I was finally going to move in with the love of my life soon.
Unfortunately, the warm feeling suddenly washed away when I walked into the driveway and spotted Nicole’s car parked near the entrance.
I do trust Leo so I’m sure they’ll both be in his office discussing something, now that I think about it what the fuck do they have to discuss? The divorce was finalized a long time ago and everything has been sorted so why is my boyfriend in there with his ex-wife?
I opened the front door quietly since it was unlocked and my eyes were set on Leo and Nicole sitting in the living room enjoying some wine and laughing their faces off.
“You have got to be fucking kidding me” My loud voice startled the two and the expressions on their faces went from happy to worried in a matter of
seconds.
“Melanie it’s not what it looks like,” Leo said to me and I could see Nicole smirking in the corner of my eye.
“Isn’t it Leo?” Nicole smirks placing her glass of wine down on the table and batting her eyelashes innocently at me.
“I think it looks like my boyfriend and his ex-wife are enjoying some quality time together don’t you think Leo?” I gritted.
“Nicole get out now” Leo turned to Nicole and gave her a warning look but she seemed to be amused by the hurt look on my face.
“But we were just getting started?” Nicole purred and my fists clenched in anger.
“Nicole get the fuck out!” Leo roared.
Nicole’s eyes widened in shock and she stumbled over the couch and then quickly scurried out the door leaving her belongings behind.
I turned my head to Leo and he slowly walked towards me.
Don’t you dare come close to me” I warned and he stopped in his tracks.
“Why the fuck was Nicole doing here?” I asked him leaning my back on the wine counter and folding my arms over my chest.
” Nicole is going through a hard time at the moment, she needed a friend so I invited her for a chat.
Nothing is going on between us, Nicole is just a bitch and she’ll say anything to tear us apart” he sighted resting one hand on the counter and staring deep into my eyes.
“We’re going through a hard time Leo!” I yelled
“You can’t just invite your ex-wife round for a drink while your girlfriend is out thinking about our relationship”
“What’s wrong with our relationship?” he raised an eyebrow.
“There’s nothing wrong, I just needed time to myself.
I jump fully into this, and I’m glad you gave me my space but that doesn’t mean you get to invite Nicole especially when you know what she has done”
“And what has Nicole done exactly? She’s tried to be nice to you even though I cheated on her with you” He said and I laughed sarcastically.
“Oh so now you’re defending her? I’m sure you fucked her the night I was drunk didn’t you?” I growled.
“What the fuck did you just say?” Leo gritted out taking a step closer towards me but I didn’t back down.
“I said you fucked her didn’t you?!” I yelled.
Suddenly Leo pinned me up against the wall by my neck and I could barely breathe, his fingers dug harshly into my neck and his alcohol breath fanned my neck.
“Leo” I struggled.
“You’re hurting me” I choked out and he gripped me tighter until I couldn’t even say a word.
My eyes almost bulged out of the sockets and I felt my eyes begging to flutter shut, I thought he was going to kill me until he let go.
I bent down with my hands on my knees trying to regain my breathing and my head peered up at Leo, tears filled my eyes knowing that he had just hurt me.
I never thought that he would ever put his hands on me especially when he knows what happened to me with Liam but here we are.
“Fuck Melanie, I’m so sorry I didn’t mea-”
“Stop it Leo” I whispered shaking my head.
“What has gotten into you? you’ve become such a violent person, You need help and our relationship isn’t going to help you.
Our relationship is what caused you to be like this” I muttered and I felt a single tear roll down my cheek.
“I swear to God I’ll get help, Melanie, I love you, I hate that I hurt you and I hate that I’m the cause of your tears” He pleaded and another tear fell from my eye onto the floor
“Leo ” I sighed.
“You put your hands on me out of anger, you don’t need me, you need to get help.
I started to sob out loud and Leo quickly pulled me in for a hug although he hurt me I needed a shoulder to cry on.
His hand went to the back of my head stroking my hair and I felt him place a soft kiss on my forehead.
“I’ll get help, I’ll do anything to get you to love me again” He whispered.
“I do love you Leo, but this just can’t work right now” I murmured into his hard chest.
“I know” He admitted, “I’m so fucking sorry” He breathes and I pull away from the hug.
He takes a glance at my neck and touches my skin, I flinch at first but I let him touch me.
I can only assume bruises are starting to form by the look of regret on his face.
“I’ll never do anything like that to you again” He murmured stroking my neck before pulling his hand down.
“No you won’t” I answered back softly turning on my heels towards the front door but he didn’t stop me “Goodbye Leo” I breathed trying to hold back an avalanche of tears.
MEL baby, I’m sorry, he said but I didn’t turn back to him.
