Someone Like You Chapter Eighty Two
BethA week and a half. That's how long I have been waiting for Leon to wake up. His siblings all flew in from abroad to see him and they refused to go back until they were sure he would recover. The only person who'd gone back was Andres and that was to help Leon oversee the affairs of the kingdom.My back ached like a bitch but I refused to leave his side except to take my bath and change into clean clothes which made my mom very worried because she thought I was stressing myself and the babies by not sleeping on a more comfortable bed but I didn't mind. I wouldn't be pregnant if not for Leonidas and I was sure even the babies wouldn't want to lose their dad as well.I'd prayed and would have fasted for a miracle but my mom put her foot down and almost forced real food down my throat because all I could take were fruits. I sighed and shook my head. I adjusted my posture on the sofa to find a more comfortable position but I couldn't and it irritated me."For God's sake." I hissed. I

Leon A week later "Where did you meet Katherine?" Beth asked me. I'd been wondering when she'd ask me about Katherine. I just didn't expect that it'd take her this long to ask but it was all for the best. "I met her last year at a friend's birthday party. I bumped into her and caused her to spill her drink on her dress." I said. "I took her to Clothes Over Bros to get a new dress and then we went to a restaurant. She didn't even recognize me until I told her my full name." "I actually didn't believe in doppelgangers until I saw her." She said. "I thought if you meet your doppelganger... Something's going to happen to you?" "That's bullshit." I told her. "What does she do?" "She writes books. Her husband is the owner of Pacific Publishers." I replied. "Elliot Phillips?" Her eyes widened. "Yeah. I'm surprised you didn't recognize her." I said. "Two of her books were adapted into movies. Treasure and Once Forbidden." "Seriously?!" She was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me? I'd

Elijah A few months later Georgina looked so beautiful up there on the stage giving her valedictorian speech and whatever she said makes everyone laugh. I look behind me at the other students and catch Christian's eye. He was supposed to be graduating with us but because of his suspension, he had until next year before he'd graduate and this had made him very bitter. It didn't even help that he was very upset about his father's arrest and he sent me a very detailed letter about what he'd do to me if he ever got the chance. "I want to say a very big thank you to my dear father who did not really know me but loved me enough to take me in when my mother didn't want me and to my sweet mom Queen Elisabeth. Thank you for loving me like you would one of your children. I would also like to appreciate my friends... girls you rock!" Her friends clapped and whistled and waved from their seats. "And to my fellow graduates, I know I didn't start the school year with you all but I want you
Someone Like You Prologue
ElisabethA year ago...A tune from one of those Disney cartoons kept ringing in my head as I got ready to wear my dress. I'd been admiring it since I got it last month and I still couldn't believe the D-Day was finally here. I was going to be married to the love of my life, my first and last crush Bennett Owens two hours from now. "You're so beautiful E." My best friend and maid of honor Julianne grinned at me. "Thank you." I grinned back. I blew out my breath and picked up my phone to check if I'd gotten any message from Ben but my screen was blank."You know you're going to see him in a few hours right?". Jules teased me. "That phone has not left your side in days.""Um... Excuse me "miss tease the nervous bride", I've not seen Ben for two days now." I reminded her. "The last time I saw him...""I know. You saw him at the club just before he was hauled away by his annoying friends for a two day bachelor party." Jules rolled her eyes. "I hate those guys.""No you don't." I snorte

ElisabethPresent time....I groaned as the music I was listening to suddenly stopped playing and the ringtone I set for he-who-shall-not-be-named began to echo in my car making me more irritated.It's been... a year since the fool fucked up and despite me calling him all sorts of derogatory names that I'd never heard of, he was relentless. He wanted me back but I wanted him to back the fuck off.I put on my bluetooth earbud and tapped it to answer his call but silence filled my ear."What?". I snapped. "Is it until I block your number or change my sim that you'll get the memo?"."It's been a year El. Don't tell me you're still mad." He's shocked."Are you for real right now Ben?". I almost screamed. "I have every right to be mad for the next millennium you motherfucker.""I was drugged! I didn't...""Save that for the whore you were seen coming out of El Dorado with last night Ben." I cut him off harshly. "You must think I'm stupid. Well, newsflash... I'm not!".Ben sighed. "She wasn

LeonObnoxious...Spoilt...Entitled...Many years ago, I'd lived with the queen bitch of the obnoxious, spoilt and entitled rich girls club and after I severed all ties with said bitch, I vowed never to come across one, talk or even let my shadow get close to the other person's shadow until today.Maybe the world would really be a better place if everyone learned to apologize for the wrongs they did but some people's brains weren't just that developed. Like the... lady I met today.Mom told me never to be disrespectful to ladies and I tried my possible best to be polite to the undeserving ones but this lady today topped the charts.I alighted from my car and slammed the door shut as one of the young mechanics at the auto shop rushed up to me with a smile on his face."Good afternoon sir." He greeted."Hey Mike. What's up?". I shook hands with him. "Where's Victor?"."In his office." Mike replied. "Whoa! Who was the monster that did this?". His eyes widened when he saw the badly dente

LeonEleven years ago..."They want my life? They can have it." I pivoted on my heel and stormed out of the sitting room leaving them shocked in my wake.I'd had enough of the bullying and it had to stop. It wouldn't stop so I'd stopped it myself. My life had no meaning anymore so they could fucking live it for me if they wanted. I no longer gave a flying fuck about the throne, about my surname... about being part of this family in general."Leon!". Dad bellowed as I made my way upstairs to my room. "Stop!"."I don't want to!"."I command you as your King to stop." Dad ordered.I could've continued on my way. I wanted to but I stopped because no matter how pissed off I was, I had plenty of respect for my father."What the hell was that about? What you said back there?". Dad jerked his thumb towards the sitting room. "That was a joke right?".I decided to play dumb because if I didn't, we'd get into a screaming match and I'd say something I'd never be able to take back whether it was m
Someone Like You Chapter Four
LeonI rolled out of bed a minute before my alarm rang by 5. I'd been awake long before that thinking about so many things but most especially the fact that today was my birthday and I was supposed to be in Mercia celebrating with my parents.They'd sent their gifts but I'd left them unopened in my home office just like I'd left their messages on read. Maybe I was just giving myself unnecessary heartache over nothing but I knew I wasn't ready to deal with anything concerning them just yet.I changed into my sweatpants, grabbed my towel and walked out of my room. I went downstairs, grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator and headed straight to my gym. I'd never once missed my early morning exercises ever since I recovered from that accident eons ago and though it wasn't really mandatory anymore but I couldn't stop.I ran on the treadmill for about forty minutes, lifted weights for twenty minutes and then I used the jump rope Liese had sent me last year which belonged to her dau

Someone Like You Chapter Eighty One
Leon Now that I'd been able to set Beth and her friend free and I was sure they were on their way home, I had to also get Kath out of here before Ben found out that I'd tricked them. Beth and Kath looked alike a lot that you couldn't tell one from the other but there was a distinct way to tell them apart and that was the birthmark on Beth's arm which was in the shape of a very small crown that you wouldn't notice unless you looked very closely but Kath didn't have that. Elliot would literally murder me if anything happened to his wife and kids and just like I didn't want anything to happen to Beth, I had to save Kath too. "Now... Give her to me." Ben ordered. "She's not a pen that I have to pass her to you." I frowned. "And why the hell do you want my wife? She's carrying my children." "Just like I told that Beth who was obviously fake." He glared at Darlene. "I'll let her deliver the children then we either give them up for adoption or your parents will take care of them. Either
Someone Like You Chapter Eighty
LeonFew hours agoI stared at the gun in my hand thinking about Darlene's face in front of it and imagining shooting her right between the eyes. It was a good imagination because that'd mean the end of her once and for all but I didn't want to go that route like I did with Richard. The idiot had had an altercation with a fellow inmate - crippled as he was and that one had bashed his head against a wall and he'd passed on from there. He was buried unceremoniously in the cemetery with no one to cry over him and properly grieve him.Darlene deserved the same fate but I knew how unpredictable she was and I didn't want Beth or my babies to get hurt so I had to think of another way to get her away from Darlene's clutches and also send Darlene right back to jail.I dumped the gun in the bottom drawer, slammed it shut and locked it then I rubbed my hands over my face in frustration. My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts and I looked down at the screen with furrowed brows. I answered
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Nine
BethI'd be lying if I said that I understood everything that was happening in front of me right now but I didn't. It all seemed so surreal to me and I couldn't fathom what the hell Leon wanted to do. I'd expected that he'd come barging in here with police men to arrest Darlene and Ben but he didn't even come with a gun to protect himself and I was well aware that he could shoot someone with his eyes closed and he wouldn't miss.Ben walked out of the bathroom, grabbed the gun from Darlene who didn't react fast enough and pointed it at Leon but Leon wasn't fazed in the least about being the new target and he just smiled like he already knew the outcome of this whole thing."You're not walking out of here with Beth." Ben told him. "Okay." Leon said.We all stared at him in surprise but I was more shocked at his acquiescence because I'd expected that he'd never agree to Ben's ridiculous demand."Leon, what are you saying?" I asked him. "You're going to let me go with him?""Of course."
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Eight
BennettIt was rather unfortunate that I had to resort to kidnapping the love of my life to keep her away from her husband. I'd met Darlene Edwards three weeks ago at a club, I'd not recognized her as one of the inmates who'd escaped from the Federal Prison for Women until after I took her back to an hotel, fucked her and then I realized it too late who she was but then she started rambling about how she escaped to be with the love of her life who was none other than the fucker who'd stolen Beth from me and I saw it as a golden opportunity to use her to get Beth from him and here we are."You did this?" She asked. "Why?""Because... I had no choice Beth." I said. "You left me to be with that idiot who'd never value you like I do."She stared intently at me then she threw back her head and laughed. She looked very beautiful but I knew she wasn't laughing because she found what I'd said funny but she was mocking me."You value me?" She echoed in disbelief. "Really? Was that why you fuck
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Seven
BethI should be scared of the woman who'd kidnapped me and Jules after she told us who she really was but I wasn't. All I felt for her was pity because she was obsessed with a man who didn't like her or love her and he hated her more than anything in this world.She'd taken his first love away from him and she wanted to do the same to me and my babies but I hoped that Leon would come to rescue us. I didn't want to die and I didn't want my unborn children to suffer for something they didn't do either but maybe I could try to make her see reason even if she was crazy.She'd waylaid me and Jules at the mall after we finished shopping for Jules' birthday and we were about to get into the car. I'd been about to open the passenger side door when she appeared behind me and pressed the muzzle of a gun at my belly and I froze. I didn't know who she was or why she'd targeted me but I'd hoped that at least someone would notice us. No one did."You scream and I'll kill her." She'd threatened Jul
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Six
LeonI never thought that I'd miss any other woman after Joni died but I missed Beth a lot and talking on the phone or even facetime with her couldn't compare to actually seeing her face in person. She'd managed to get under my skin and stayed there without any hope of her leaving and I didn't want her to because I was now used to thinking of her every hour, minute and second of every day and thinking of her did me more good than thinking of any other thing.As her father had said, I'd left Alexander in the hands of the police even though I still had half a mind to kill him and his entire family. I compensated the families of the dead guards and made sure to tell them they could come to me for anything and though it still wouldn't be enough for losing a loved one but it was the thought that counted.Michael was also getting better which I was glad for but he had to be on bed rest which he didn't like one bit but accepted for his fiancée's peace of mind."I'll be fine Your Majesty."
