"What the hell am I doing here again?". I asked myself as I sat in my car a few distance from Beth's new gargantuan house. I really shouldn't be here but I wanted to see her face again since she'd stopped taking my calls. I still couldn't believe that she'd married that idiot and she was Queen of a backward Kingdom now but funny enough the backward Kingdom as I'd thought it to be was more like a little city and it was beautiful.

I watched as a giant with a scary looking face approached my car and I swallowed as I unfastened my seatbelt and alighted from the car then shut the door.

"Who are you?". The man's voice was a deep baritone and I thought that if he shouted, I think it could cause a mini earthquake.

"My name is Benjamin Owens. I'm here to see your Queen." I said.

"Family member?". He asked.

"I'm her cousin." I lied through my teeth. I didn't think he'd let me in if I said I was her ex boyfriend. He'd probably kick my ass across the Kingdom as a way of saying goodbye.

    Leon Two weeks later "Why is that fool still so noisy even after you're married?". I asked Beth. "I don't like it." "I'm sorry. I thought he left when I told him to. I should have made sure." She apologized. "Are you mad at me?". "No." I said. "But I want to punch his face in. People think you're cheating on me with him." She paled and looked around the restaurant but people were just minding their own business. I'd decided that we were too cooped up in the palace so we'd come out for fresh air. Dressed casually, we blended in with the other customers even though the manager of the restaurant had been beside himself when he came out to greet us. You'd think we were celebrities or something. "Relax." I placed my hand on hers. "No one would dare look at you the wrong way." "But he's gone now?". She muttered. "Yeah. Michael made sure of it. Saw him to the airport and watched him get on the plane." I shrugged. "He didn't leave until the plane took off." She heaved a sigh of relief

    Raymond"He's coming." I thought excitedly. "I'd finally get my revenge. After so many freaking years of waiting. I'd make mom and dad proud of me." I knew in my mind that Leonidas Sebastiani wouldn't make it easy for me to kill him. Most likely he'd come with guards and police men but he wasn't the type of person to back down from a challenge. He'd want to show that he had power over me but I'd show him that I was no longer that seventeen year old boy who'd been scared of him."Why do you want to hurt my dad?". Georgina's voice sounded from the corner of the room. I'd searched far and wide for a place that was abandoned and that was far from the town and I'd finally found it. It was a small shack on the outskirts of the town surrounded by trees. You wouldn't notice it was there if you didn't look well enough.I was standing by the small window watching out for his arrival. He was late and if I'd really wanted to hurt the girl just to spite him, I'd have done so."He's not your fath

    Georgina"Hey Princess." Dad walked into my bedroom but didn't come forward. "How are you feeling?".He'd taken me to the hospital for a series of tests and scans to see if I'd broken a bone or cracked a rib but I was fine... physically. Mentally... Not so much."Okay." I croaked out. I held out my hand to him and I watched him take a deep breath before he came to me, took my hand and sat on my bed. "Thank you for saving me dad."He pulled me into his embrace. "I'll do that and more for you anytime sweetheart." He kissed my hair. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.""I love you daddy." I murmured."And I love you more." He said. He pulled back to cup my face and kissed my forehead. "Someone's here to see you.""Chris?". I guessed."How did you know?".I shrugged."I can tell him to come back tomorrow." Dad said."No, it's okay." I smiled. "Let him in.""Okay." Dad said and left.I sighed as my phone rang and I picked it up then smiled when I saw that it was a conference call so I

    Leon "Fuck Beth." I breathed. "What the hell was that? I can see my brain cells floating in the air right now." She laughed gaily. "That was a thank you for saving our baby girl and coming home unhurt." She stroked my jaw. "Except for the bruises on your face." "The idiot took me by surprise." I said. "You take my breath away each and every time. I go to heaven every fucking time too." "I'm glad you liked it." She beamed. "We aim to please Your Majesty." "That's about right." I smacked a kiss on her lips and got up from the sofa to put on my clothes but I stopped and turned to look at Beth. "Did I hear George's voice earlier?". Beth paled. "Oh no!". She covered her mouth. "She must have heard us." "Fuck." I muttered. "I need to soundproof this room and our bedroom." I quickly put on my clothes. I wondered what George had wanted to talk about and I hoped it wasn't permission to go out because for now... I couldn't let her out of my sight. "Yeah." She agreed. I helped Beth into

    ElisabethThree weeks laterI stared at myself for quite awhile in the bathroom not really knowing what I was hoping to see but I knew one thing; I'd gained a few pounds since I got married. I was glowing, my eyes were bright and happy and there was not a day that I remembered what Ben had done to me.He'd made me the laughing stock and though I'd humiliated him by leaving him at the altar but I'd shed an ocean of tears because of him then I stopped. I stopped thinking about him and even my hatred for him was nonexistent now.I winced as a sharp pain made me clutch my abdomen and I groaned knowing what that meant but the pain intensified and I cried out."Beth? Are you okay?". Leon called from outside the bathroom door."Argh!". I fell to the floor as the pain became unbearable. It was worse than the usual cramps but I knew it wasn't just because I was having my monthly cycle but something else.The door opened and Leon came in, saw me on the floor and rushed over to meet me."What's

    Leon It had been fourteen hours since I found out that I was going to be a father and I still hadn't wrapped that fact around in my head. You could be wondering why I was so out of it considering I had a daughter already but Georgina was different. I didn't raise her since she was a baby, I didn't see her first walk or hear her first words and I certainly wasn't there when her mother was pregnant with her but this... I would get to see Beth grow heavy with my child and then once he or she arrived, it'd be like handling precious cargo. Beth had immediately called her parents to tell them the news and her mother hadn't stopped calling since five am this morning. She hadn't been able to get hold of her best friend but she'd left her a message. I should let my family know about the baby but I wanted to keep the news to myself a little while longer. "Babe, the hospital called." Beth walked into my home office. "The test results are ready." "Do they want us to come?". I asked. "Yeah. T

    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

    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."
