The Shackles of Love Papa Lift Me
Chapter 68. Tears of Aileen

...🍀🍀🍀...

"Bram's? Where's Aileen? I asked you to bring her here."

"That's... Aileen.he..." Bram scratched his nape that did not itch at all. He is confused as to how to explain to Leon that Aileen went to the Orlando residence. The man may go on a rampage when he finds out his lover is going to the snake nest.

"Bram!" call Leon to his best friend with a firm tone of speech.

"Aileen she per-"

"I'm here, pah."

The soft voice made Leon and Bram's attention to the beautiful girl in front of the doorway where the police station was visiting. Aileen came, along with a prison warden.

"Darling!" Leon was immediately aghast from his chair and approached Aileen first. While Bram is surprised by Aileen's presence, he is grateful that the girl came at the right time. After this Bram will talk to Aileen and ask what the girl is doing at the Arlando residence.

Aileen hugged her papa tightly, she could endure her cries. He was very worried because Leon was arrested.

"Darling, papa's okay. You don't have to worry, you don't have much thought.papa will soon be free from here." said Leon while unraveling his embrace. Both of his hands caressed Aileen's long hair, one of his hands rubbed the clear circles that drenched Aileen's cheeks.

"Don't cry baby, papa's okay. Bram will take care of everything, papa will be free soon! As long as you are not there, you should stay at home. Don't go anywhere, don't go to the Arlando residence! Papa forbid it, Ai."

Leon said it as if he knew what Aileen was thinking. But one thing Leon did not know, Aileen had indeed met her grandfather without Leon's knowledge.

"Yes pa, I won't do anything stupid." Aileen replied with a smile and then kissed Leon's cheek.

Dear God, please release my papa. I don't want papa to get hurt, I don't want to leave papa and come with Mr. Ericko. Pinta Aileen in his heart.

"You say baby, same parent as Bram, hmmm?"

Aileen replied with a nod.

Leon and Aileen were relieved after seeing each other's faces. Both of them were fine, but not with their hearts equally restless.

****

For a week, Leon was behind bars. Bram, Sam and even the Sahara are also down helping to free Leon. But the evidence against Leon is so strong that the case will be brought to court in 2 days.

During that time, the Xavier Group company experienced a huge decline. It could be said that large companies will go bankrupt if investors and shareholders withdraw their investment on Xavier group.

Aileen tried to help the company with all her might. Aileen became the head of the company with Bram's help. He also used Mark's legacy money to save the big company. Not to mention persuading investors from large companies to help. Luckily Sam and Sahara were willing to help him, but it wasn't enough.

Over the past few days, Aileen has been stressed about finding a way out for Leon and a way out for the Xavier group on the brink of collapse.

In the midst of his anxiety, Ericko always offered Aileen help. Offering to free Leon and restore the company's glory Xavier group, but Aileen rejects him outright.

"I'm sorry Aileen pa, I'm sorry that Aileen is selfish and doesn't want to let go of papa." murmured Aileen who just declined an offer from Ericko. Bid that's been stressful lately.

Aileen sat in the President's room holding her dizzy head. Suddenly the sound of the door opening loud enough to make Aileen move from her seat.

BRACKET!

"Agatha's aunt?" Aileen saw a beautiful woman approaching her.

Plakk

Plakk!

The woman, called Aunt Agatha, came and slapped Aileen twice in the face. Bram was behind her, it seemed he was trying to prevent Agatha from entering inside. But Agatha still went in there.

Agatha snorted furiously at the sight of Aileen, it felt like she had not slapped the girl enough. Agatha is Leon's younger sister who lives abroad and Leon breaks off his relationship with Agatha for preferring Aileen.

"SATIS YE HUH?! SATISFIED YOU HAVE MY BROTHER DESTROYED!" Agatha snapped at Aileen with emotion.

Agatha did not like Aileen, she felt that Leon's only brother loved Aileen more than her. Aileen has no blood relationship with Leon.

"Aunty..." Aileen cried, she held onto her bruised cheek.

"Silence, brother! Let me finish my business with this selfless child! Because of him, my brother lived suffering even he was single until now BECAUSE of YOU! Because of his promise to Mark! I really can't take it anymore, get you out of MY BROTHER's life!"

Agatha grabbed Aileen's long hair violently, ripping her head off. Bram tried to stop Agatha, until she was scratched and punched several times from Agatha.

"Stop Agatha! STOP THAT!" shouted Bram who was not touched by Agatha at all. Bram was very sorry for Aileen whose face was covered in Agatha's claw, her hair was a mess. Strangely, Aileen was treated like that by Agatha, but she allowed herself to be attacked by Agatha.

"FUCKING WOMAN! You've made my brother suffer! Leon's brother is in jail, his company is almost bankrupt and now Leon's brother just got out of the hospital!" Agatha was crying.

"Ru-hospital? Papa's in the hospital?" Aileen was flabbergasted at Agatha's words. He doesn't know about Leon entering the hospital.

Lothawat! Aileen. Bram instantly turns pale when Agatha accidentally reveals Leon's condition. Though Bram accidentally covered it from Aileen at Aileen's request.

"What does Aunt mean? Papa's in the hospital?"

"Not pretend you don't know! You're glad to see my brother suffer, to the point of age and even to death, he'll suffer because of YOU!" hardik Agatha with bright eyes.

"Papa..om Bram where's papa? Is papa still in the hospital?" aileen asked with a raised but trembling voice. "Of!"

"Papa you've returned to prison and the situation is fine too, you don't need to worry" Bram said, calming Aileen down.

"Om Bram was always hiding papa from me, um..."

Aileen did not continue her words, she immediately left her office, no matter the circumstances. He went to the police station where his father was detained.

Though not a big clock, but he forced to see Leon. Eventually the warden allows and escorts Aileen to the cell where Leon is being held.

Aileen looked at Leon who was asleep on the floor without any pedestal, the man curled up in the cold and made Aileen grimace in pain. Her chest tightened and could not hold back her crying anymore.

"What happened to my father sir? Why can my papa be battered like this?" aileen asked a prison guard who was there.

"Sir Leon was beaten by prisoners again, actually Mr. Leon's condition was quite severe but he did not want to be treated" explained the warden.

Again his chest felt tight to hear it. His heart ached seeing that handsome face was bruised and battered.

"Please sir. at least give my papa a pillow and a blanket," pinta Aileen was sad.

"This is a prison not a hotel!" the warden's hatchling is fierce.

"You have 3 minutes to see Leon sir." the warden said that he then sauntered away from there leaving Aileen and Leon who were now in their own cell because Leon was always disturbed by other prisoners.

Aileen sat down and looked at Leon with teary eyes. In addition to Leon's face, hands and feet were also bandaged, perhaps another prisoner also injured his hands and feet.

The handsome man who was originally burly now looks so skinny and cute. "So this is why you didn't want to see me for two days?" muttered Aileen while holding back her cries.

Suddenly Aileen stood up again, she wiped away her tears. ""I'm sorry pa, I'm sorry.I did all this for papa's sake. I can't bear to see papa lose it all for my sake. Let me return the goodwill of the father who raised me all along." - Og Aileen, staring at the man in the prisoner's uniform who now sleeps on the floor without any pedestal. "I went home pah.." said to Leon who was asleep and did not even notice his presence there.

Aileen came out of the police station, and she reached into the cell phone in her sling bag. "Hello, Mr. Ericko.I accept your offer!"

...****...

Spoiler tinkling...

"Pa, let's get married!" take Aileen while looking at Leon who is now under his body.

"When?"

"Now pa, let's get married."
