Celebrity Playboy – Episode 45&46
(Love…•••In•••…Trouble)
______________
“Kenzie don’t do this… Kenzie I’m your father!!” He shouted desperately as his p+nis dangled in front of him.
Kenzie stopped abruptly and faced him right in front of the gate.
Before Hugo could get it, he already delivered another punch to his face.
Hugo fell back to the ground, hurting his elbows so badly that he groaned in agonizing pains.
Kenzie squatted beside him, and he shifted back on his elbows, making the two bleed more.
“Father?” Kenzie smirked, grabbing his face.
Hugo groaned again, begging fast.
“You were never one. I thought you were a good person when you came to get me at the hospital after Georgia ran mad, but you only used that to your own advantage, wasn’t it? You used it for your political manifesto, and people began liking you afterwards. You won the senatorial election right after that! Arsehole!” Kenzie shouted, and Hugo swallowed.
“I should make you dance naked, but nah… that’d be a time waste. You’ll experience something more interesting” Kenzie said again and stood straight, freeing him.
Hugo quickly got the towel and wrapped it back on his waist to cover up.
Almost immediately, an ambulance drove past them, into the estate for Lee.
Kenzie dialled the press, and at dawn, numerous reporters assembled in front of the estate.
Hugo almost entered the ground as they surrounded him…
* Is it true that you’re a pedophile?
* Did you do it on your son’s girlfriend and his friend alone? Or are there other victims?
* Say something Mr. Hugo Torrance
* When did the pedophilia begin?
* Aren’t you scared for your political career?
Hugo was shaking…the towel is the only thing covering him, and his skin turned totally red already cos Kenzie actually made him stay out till the arrival of the reporters.
He almost started crying, and he couldn’t even look up.
The one time he looked up, his eyes met with Anna who’s standing at the far end of the gate, and she has tears in her eyes.
“Hugo” she muttered, and he looked away, then he started struggling to get out of the crowd.
Kenzie stood behind the gate with Miguel, watching everything calmly with a vape pen between his lips.
“Your father is a madman, and your stepmom is a madwoman, for real…” Miguel said.
“Ion care, they never really showed signs of parenting before. I can take care of Lee by myself” Kenzie replied, and he immediately got a call.
He smiled when he saw “Sweetheart” flashing on his screen.
“Hey, Sweetheart” he picked, still smiling as he walked back into the estate.
Miguel followed him.
*
10AM, HOSPITAL*
Lee became conscious at dawn, though his head is completely wrapped with bandage right now, and he looks weak.
Tears are coming out of his eyes, and though Anna is right beside him, he’s not even seeing her, his head is full of possibilities.
“It’s true, right?” He muttered without looking at her.
“What are you thinking?” Anna replied, holding his hand.
He took his hand from her immediately.
“That you have a crush on Kenzie! You’re in love with my brother!” He snapped angrily, and she stood.
“No… Lee…
“Don’t try to deny it, mum. I was defending you with my life when Miguel said it, but after what happened with dad, I now know better. You’re a pedophile too, right? Did you get the gene from dad?” He sniffled, and tears came out of her eyes, realizing she got caught.
“It was a mistake, Lee. I wasn’t always like this and you know it. It was…
“Is that why you were so mad at Hazel and Maria the other time? When you made them kneel? You found out Kenzie’s feelings for her, and you got jealous, right?” He sniffled again, and Anna gulped.
“Lee I can actually…
“Leave, I don’t wanna hear any excuse anymore ” he cut her off.
“But…
“Leave!!!” He shouted and started crying too.
“Lee don’t be like this, Lee…
“Get out!!!!” He yelled, and Eminem rushed in with Natty.
Eminem quickly pulled Anna out, and Natty sat beside him in bed.
She hugged him tight, and he continued his tears.
“I can’t believe my parents, I can’t believe them” he sobbed, and she stroked his head fondly.
“Things happen, yunno? Just forget it, move on ok?” She said, and he broke the hug to look at her.
“He was jerking off and staring at your picture, it was…
She placed a finger on his lips to stop him from talking further, and it worked.
She wiped his tears gently and smiled.
“It was just my picture, he didn’t do it to me. I’d have kicked him in the guts if he came close to me” she said, and he smiled, then he hugged her again.
She resumed stroking his bandaged head, and he closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Anna is currently on her way out of the hospital, and as she walked the hallway, the nurses and doctors gave her hateful disappointed glares.
Apparently, her secret got out to the public too. Someone must have heard when Lee was screaming earlier in the ward.
* Weird family, what is wrong with her and her husband?
* Isn’t she a former minister?
* Tell me about it, are they both insane?
* They should have a room in the psycho house.
* I pity Kenzie though. Last night it was Dr. Dora and her daughter, and today it’s his parents. Poor him.
* I know, right?
Anna ran the remaining distance out of the hospital in shame, and she bumped into Kenzie right in front of it.
“Ken!” She gasped.
He frowned nastily, then walked past her, into the hospital.
“Kenzie!!” She made to run after him, but when she saw some coming nurses, she went back and escaped the hospital.
*
Kenzie met Natty and Lee still hugging when he arrived at the ward. Eminem is with them now.
They broke the hug when he came in, and Lee came down from the bed quickly to meet him.
“Do you hate me now? For my parents stupidity?” He asked with his breathings paused.
“Why would I hate you?” Kenzie replied frankly.
“I’m so sorry on their behalf ” Lee muttered, and Kenzie pulled him into a hug immediately.
Lee released the breaths he held.
“Don’t say that shit anymore, just get well” he said, and Lee nodded, hugging him back.
Natty hung her arm on Eminem’s shoulder and smiled.
“We really really had an eventful break. How many days before we go back to France?” She said.
“Three days” Miguel replied, coming in.
“I’m adding one extra week. Need to attend CADENCE concert for Hazel” Kenzie replied.
*
THIAGO’S CASTLE, 12PM*
Hazel was already waiting at the relaxation shed when Kenzie’s car drove into the property.
She’d have gone to the estate first thing this morning, but she had to wait this long to see him cos of Hugo and Anna’s case.
She jumped out of the shed literally, into his arms
Kenzie caught her, and they shared a warm kiss immediately.
Hazel was caressing his neck tattoo throughout, and she smiled again when they broke it.
“I missed you” she muttered.
“But you bounced my calls and left me on read last night?” He raised his brows.
“I did it on purpose cos I was so mad at you, but when I was ready to reply, Livia ruined it. I fell asleep after she used eyedrop on my eyes” she complained, and he smiled, kissing her again.
“I missed you too” he finally said, making her chuckle.
“What are you gonna do about your parents though?” She asked curiously.
“They received their share of karma already. Today will forever be memorable for them, so I have nothing to do anymore” he replied, and she sighed.
“I was wondering why she suddenly changed and made i and mum kneel”
“She did?” Kenzie’s eyes darkened.
“Yes, but don’t do what you’re thinking cos I remember you saying they’re already getting their share of karma. Just leave them be” she said.
“Sure” he replied.
“You’re not going back today, right? Stay with me throughout then in the evening we can go to the hospital together for Lee” she said.
“Of course ” he replied, and she kissed his hair.
“Stop that” he laughed.
The clearing of throat made them look back at the car.
Eminem is standing beside it, watching them with a funny look.
“Emi! You came together?” Hazel gasped.
“Of course, but your romance blinded you from seeing me” he replied.
“Don’t be offended” she pouted
“Whatever ” he replied.
Maria and Thiago weren’t in when they entered the castle.
It’s just Livia and Austin, rolling eyes at each other in the living room.
“Thank gawd you came Emi!” Livia quickly grabbed Austin.
“Thought you didn’t like me” he smiled.
“Should I let go of you?” She replied.
“Don’t dare” he said, and she laughed as they went upstairs together, to his room, leaving the lovebirds with Austin in the living room.
*
DAYS LATER, LORD STEEL’S EMPIRE*
Thiago’s car drove into the iron gate without hindrance, and Steel’s guards even bowed for him when he finally stepped out of the car.
He was poised as he walked in in the company of his guards.
Before he could even get to the balcony, Steel came out to escort him in himself.
They were left to each other, and their guards had to wait at the door to give them privacy.
Steel tried telling the maids to serve rum, but Thiago declined..
“Are you still holding a grudge against me, Thiago?” He said.
Thiago kept mute.
“I have capable protectors now, and I don’t think you still have the ability to stop my operations in this city. I’ve been paying dues” Steel said.
“You seem to forget that your main protector is my daughter’s man. If I make him take a pick between the two of us, who do you think he’d go for?” Thiago smirked.
Steel reclined back on his chair, having a rethink.
“What exactly do you want?”
“I made a list of people to hunt before returning to this country, and you’re at the middle of it. I’m crossing out your name” Thiago replied.
“Why?” Steel frowned.
“You saved my daughter’s life, I give you that” Thiago replied and stood.
Before Steel could speak, he was already walking out of the balcony.
“We can have drinks like friends someday, right?” Steel asked, and Thiago turned back.
“Who knows?” He replied before leaving completely.
Steel smiled.
*
TORRANCE ESTATE*
Lee came back home today, but not to stay though.
He came with Natty, and when they got in, they met Anna and Hugo seated at the living room, both wallowing in regrets.
The two stood immediately.
“Lee” Anna sniffled, but he pretended not to see them as he climbed the stairs.
Hugo made to follow, but Natty blocked him.
“I see your political careers plummeted already. How does it feel to hit rock bottom?” She said, and the man shifted back.
“You both can’t even step out of this estate cos the public will eat you raw. How does it feel? Torturous and painful, right? Exactly what you deserve, twats” she continued.
More tears fell from Anna’s face as Lee came downstairs with a bag containing his important things.
He didn’t even look at his parents before rushing out of the house with Natty.
Anna sat on the ground and broke down in tears
Hugo fell on the couch devastatingly.
It’s gone, everything.
*
LORRA HOTEL, SECOND SUITE*
Kenzie had to rent out the suite for a week just to accommodate them till they’d go back to France.
Everyone of the guys including Hope was present already when Lee came back with Natty.
A cake is on the center table to celebrate Lee’s hospital discharge, and immediately he saw it, he blew out the candles without waiting.
“That was…fast” Eminem blinked.
“I should have made a wish before blowing it, fûck” Lee muttered.
“It’s not a birthday cake” Hope said.
“Doesn’t matter” Lee replied.
“What’s the wish?” Natty asked.
“I want to have my first kiss with you” Lee replied, and mouths went wide
“Whoa!!!!” Eminem and Hope screamed.
“Ok that was massive!” Miguel began clapping, and Natty chuckled.
“Lee…
“No i know you’re gonna say I’m too young for you or I’m immature, but I’ll wait till I turn 18 next year if that’d make you change your mind, but believe me i have a big crush on you… Natty” Lee said in a rush, still holding the cake.
“Whoa!!!!!” Everyone screamed again, and Natty had to cover her mouth in shock.
“I gave you that dreamcatcher because…I like you a lot” Lee continued.
Natty smiled widely, then she walked fast to him and gave him a big hug, making him chuckle.
“Ok where the hell is Captain! He could be witnessing this moment!” Eminem shouted.
“True, where’s Kenzie?” Miguel said, looking around with Hope.
*
AN EXCLUSIVE SHOPPING MALL*
Kenzie pushed a shopping cart out of one of the shelf corners, and there’s a really handsome smile on his face as he pushed.
Hazel is sitting inside the cart, chuckling nonstop as she pointed out things to pick for him.
Her hair is two-toned already in preparation for the band concert coming up in two days, and Kenzie had to make a change too.
He got a haircut and dyed his hair green then returned his brow ring to his left brow.
They both look ethereally gorgeous, and attendants are stealing envious glances at them.
“The prawn crackers!” She pointed at the shelf, and Kenzie picked a pack.
“I hate it” he muttered, studying the labels.
“Me too, but Livia and Austin love it like mad” she replied.
He dropped it beside her in the cart, then he noticed the ribbon in her hair is about to fall off, so he stopped the cart and tied it up for her.
“Thank you” she smiled, standing up in the cart
She leaned in, and he held her waist.
They kissed passionately right there, and the attendants hiding behind the shelves began wowing.
“They’re watching us” she muttered when they broke it.
“How many f+cks do I give?” He tilted his head…
“Zero” she replied, and he smiled.
He leaned in for another kiss, but she held his shoulders.
“Haven’t told you why I started touching myself for real as a kid” she said.
He went silent.
“I practiced self-harm back then, because I felt frustrated that I couldn’t see” she whispered, and his brows rised.
“Yeah…I harmed myself with blade countless times, and I made mum cry a lot for it, then I began regretting. I tried to stop, but it was impossible, it became a tendency” she continued.
“Then?” He probed.
“Penny suggested self -touch. She said it was safer than harm, and the only way to curb it. I took heed to her words and switched to touch, and I….
Kenzie already hugged her before she could finish, and she sighed.
“I know what you wanna say next, so save your energy, sweetheart” he said, kissing her neck.
The attendants began snapping their pictures like that, and they’d have stayed that way for longer, but the ringing of her phone made them break it.
She fished out her phone and picked the call from Livia, but immediately she did, her eyes widened.
“Fûck! I can’t believe this!” She shouted.
“What’s going on?” Kenzie narrowed his eyes.
“We have to go, now!” She gasped excitedly.
They had to pay for delivery of the items they picked, so they left like she requested.
The drive to the castle was so fast, and they literally jumped into the elevator.
They came out at the penthouse, and immediately they entered the living room, their eyes popped.
Livia and Austin are busy making videos on their phones and screaming crazily.
Thiago is in the middle of the room with Maria, and he’s holding a velvet ring box.
Hazel couldn’t believe her eyes when he went on a knee, and Maria covered her mouth as he opened the ring box in front of her.
“Let’s get married, Maria” he said.
“Yes!!! Yes!!!!!!!” Hazel screamed ecstatically.
TBC.
