Elisabeth"Mom, dad... Beth and I have something to tell you." Leon smiled at me and squeezed my hand. "What is it?". Anna asked. "No, wait let me guess." She lifted her hand to stop Leon as he opened his mouth to talk. She scrutinized my face then let her gaze travel all over my body as if searching for something then her eyes zeroed in on my stomach as if she'd found the answer."Mom, let me tell dad if you don't want to know." Leon said."Oh hush." She swatted at him. "She's pregnant. Right?". She flashed us a blinding smile. "I'm going to be a grandma again?"."Really?". His father perked up at that. "This is not a prank right?"."No honey. She's really pregnant!". His mother squealed then stood up from her seat and came over to pull me in for a hug. "I'm so happy for us right now.""Us?". Leon looked confused."Of course. Your father and I." His mother beamed. "Why both of you? We're the ones pregnant." Leon frowned.I laughed and nudged his shoulder with mine.His mother let o

LeonI don't know what prompted me to come here but I couldn't stand the talk about multiple babies anymore. It felt like everyone was now an expert on the subject all of a sudden and it irked me which was why I had chickened out and called Liese to tell her the news but karma had decided that tonight was going to be my downfall and sent Beth here to hear what I had to say - my truth - because I'd been lying to her."Beth! Wait!". I ran after her as she turned and fled. King's meadow was a vast forest and she didn't know her way back home. I didn't want her to get lost or worse injure herself in her haste to get away from me. "Beth!"."Stay away from me!". She screamed.I caught up with her just as she almost tripped over a stone in her path and I steadied both of us."Let go of me!". She struggled against me. "Let go!".I released her and she whirled around immediately and slapped me across the face shocking me. I heard the guard behind me and lifted my hand to stop him knowing what

ElisabethMy words hung in the air as we stared at each other. Him with his mouth hanging open in shock and me... hurting because I had had no choice but to do this. I couldn't and didn't want to be his plaything, I wanted to be his wife - one he accepted and the mother of his child - also accepted. I wouldn't take anything less than that."What?". He rasped."You heard me." I said. "I want an annulment. This thing we call marriage is obviously not going to work so why stay in it?".He opened and closed his mouth several times then he turned and walked over to the floor and ceiling window and stared out."That's your final decision? An annulment?". He asked. "You're not going to think about the baby?"."I thought about the baby and I'm currently thinking about my baby which is why I think an annulment is best. You won't have to worry about me or the baby. It will be like I was never in your life." I told him. "I won't call you to tell you anything about the baby because like I told yo

LeonSleeping beside Beth and not being able to touch her was hell. I wouldn't have had a problem with it before when we were still at loggerheads but now that I knew what she tasted like, how she felt around me... I literally had to ball my fists to keep from reaching out to her."You're fucked." I muttered under my breath. "Leon." Beth's sleepy voice called."Hmm?"."Why are you talking to yourself?". She asked. "Having trouble sleeping?"."Kinda." I said. "You?"."I'm finding it hard to sleep." She groaned. "My back hurts.""Why didn't you tell me?". I sat up in bed and leaned back against the headboard. "Come here.""You'll rub my back?". She looked surprised."Who else will do that if I don't?". I frowned then sighed when she bit her lip looking uncertain. "Beth, come on... Seriously?". Just because I had said I didn't want the baby didn't mean I'd let her suffer when she was in pain. I was an asshole but not that much of an asshole."I'm sorry." She apologized. "I just... I tho
Someone Like You    Chapter Sixty One
Georgina knew her father would flip out if he found out that she was walking down the street with her boyfriend without her guards. She'd actually threatened them with bodily harm if they didn't follow them at a safe distance instead of shadowing them and they'd grudgingly accepted. She was after all the Princess so they had no choice but to obey her."Feels good to not have them shadowing us." Christian remarked. "I should have done this sooner." She chuckled."But won't your father be mad at you if he finds out?". He asked her."I can handle him." She smiled. "He listens to me."Suddenly they heard shouts and then they saw a crowd of people chasing a boy their age with sticks and clubs. He was seriously injured but some kind of adrenaline kept pushing him to run until his luck ran out as he made to cross the road and a motorcyclist hit him and Georgina screamed."Your Highness! We have to take you to safety." Her guards rushed towards her and surrounded her."No! They'll kill him."

Leon"He's your brother?". I stared at the boy in front of me. "What do you mean he's your brother?".Christian sighed and looked down at his feet. "My father got his mother pregnant and left her to marry someone else. That was before he came to Mercia eighteen years ago." He said. "I didn't know about him until last year when I heard my parents talking about him.""Let me get this straight." I lifted a finger. "You watched those men beat up your brother and you didn't do anything?".He looked up at me then but briefly. "They were armed sir." "But my daughter stopped them from killing him." I said."She's the Princess. They have no choice but to listen to her... Sir." He replied."I see." I nodded. "Anything else you know about him?"."He has two sisters and their mother died three months ago." He said. "My father threw him out when he came to ask for help."I glanced at Georgina who was staring at him as if she was just seeing him for the first time. She was probably as stunned as I

LeonI sat on the chair beside Imani's bed just staring at her still wondering why she'd been so happy to see me. I was thinking many things but mostly about the fact that she didn't really have long to live except she was able to get a new heart.How she'd been able to live without a new heart for many years. I'd bet that her brother didn't even have money to buy her drugs but she'd stayed healthy enough until now. The door opened and Georgina walked in with Andres. She was smiling at something he'd probably told her and I was glad for it because it meant that she was probably not upset anymore."How's she?". Andres asked."Stable but without a new heart, she's as good as dead." I replied. "I don't want Sarah to lose her sister.""She won't." Andres assured me. "I'm going to make some calls and find out if there's any way for us to get a new heart for her. I think Jax has some friends who are doctors as well.""You'll do that for me?". I was surprised."Of course. What are brothers

BethThere was something different about Leon that I couldn't put my finger on as I stared at him. He was in the gym running on the treadmill with his earphones in his ears listening to music. He looked… more relaxed, like he didn't have a care in the world. Like… whatever had been eating him up inside had been solved and blown away by the wind. He was happier.I'd woken up and reached for him but his side of the bed was empty and once I saw that it was just five am, I knew he'd be in the gym so I got dressed and came down to watch his work out. I was standing in the foyer just watching and admiring his gorgeous body and I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky I was to be married to a guy like him."I love him." The thought came to my mind unbidden and I froze. I didn't know when or where or even how it happened but anyway it had happened... I was irrevocably and undeniably in love with my husband. I'd broken the rules and I was going to hell for that."Beth?". He called.I shivered

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

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

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 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

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

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."

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

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

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."
