Someone Like You Chapter Forty Three
LeonI thought I'd gotten rid of my anger - the one that wrecked havoc whenever I unleashed it but I guessed not. Beth's words had made me angry and I'd hurt her unintentionally. Now I was stuck with helping her for the next few months. She told me I didn't have to but everyone would expect that since we were married, it was my duty as her husband to take care of her.Her mother thought so when she called last night after we arrived from the hospital and I had no choice but to tell her what happened - the abridged version of the truth. Mom thought so too when she visited and Georgina was no exception.I sighed as I tossed and turned unable to sleep because of how guilty I was feeling.I wasn't any different from that idiot that beat up his wife. I'd raised my hand on her in anger and she'd gotten hurt even if I'd not meant to.Beth whimpered in her sleep and I sighed again. There was also that stopping me from sleeping peacefully. She was in pain despite everything I'd done to make he

Elisabeth"You're very lucky Your Majesty." Andrea told me. "But you need to be more careful from now on. No trying to do anything by yourself.""Is it possible for her to wear a sling just to be on the safe side?". Leon asked her."Hmm. Of course Your Majesty." Andrea said. "It's quite possible. It will even help her wrist to heal faster because she won't be able to move it as much.""That'll be better. Thank you." Leon nodded.After the whole process of wearing the sling to elevate my wrist and another lecture from Andrea about how I needed to be more careful, we finally left the hospital."I'm craving for some ice cream right now." I muttered as we got into the car."I know a good place." Leon said. "Royal Oak.""You'll take me there?". I was surprised."Of course." He sent me a small smile, started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "I'm thinking we should watch a movie as well.""Um... Um... Sure." I nodded eagerly. "That'd be nice."Leon drove out of the premises and I s
Someone Like You Chapter Forty Five
LeonI felt like beating myself up for saying no to Beth's offer of sex. I could chalk it up to being scared. I didn't know if I'd be any good because I'd never tried it but maybe my stupid brother Jax could give me a few pointers since he had been a professional at the game.Seeing Beth's naked body again had almost brought me to my knees. I wanted to worship her body forever without stopping but a very strong invisible force had held me back from doing anything stupid. If I couldn't love her then I had no right taking something that didn't belong to me.After we were done dressing up, I called for two maids to clean our bedroom while we went downstairs to watch TV or something."Comfy?". I asked her after I helped her set the throw pillows so she could get comfortable."Yeah. Thank you." She nodded. "What are we watching?"."Let's find a good one on Netflix." I turned on the TV and went through the motions of connecting the TV to the wireless network then when it was connected, I se

Elisabeth My family will be complete again... Leon's words, not mine. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me feel giddy. He'd obviously been talking about me and him and Georgina as a family which meant that he liked me. My husband liked me and I was so happy I wanted to jump for joy but I didn't because I was the Queen. Queens don't act like teenage girls whose crush reciprocated their feelings and asked them to prom. "How's your hand?". He asked me. "Getting better." I lied. It still hurt like hell - even more than when I just injured myself but I couldn't tell him that. "I don't believe you." He said. "Oh well." I sighed. "It feels like I'm being poked with a knife continuously. I talked to doctor Andrea while you were asleep and she said that she might prescribe something stronger for me if it continues." "I'm sorry." He apologized. "You're hurting because of me." "It's nothing. It's partly my fault as well." I told him. "I bugged you and I shouldn't have done that.
Someone Like You Chapter Forty Seven
Raymond "Whatcha looking at?". My roommate plopped down on my bed and snatched the picture in my hand from me. "Why do you have the picture of the King of Mercia in your hand?". He asked. I snatched it back and tucked it back into my jacket pocket. "Nothing." "Dude, we've been friends for two years now. Surely you know you can trust me with your secrets." Tony said. I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. He was right. I wasn't living on the streets because of him. The job I had gotten was because of him. Hell, I owed him my life. "I'm sorry." I apologized. "I just... It's a long story." "I have all night." He said. So I opened up and told him everything including how my words had ended up leading my stepsister Joni to her death but of course I blamed everything on Leonidas Sebastiani. If he'd not come into our lives, my family would still be alive. I wouldn't have lost my twin sister... my life in general would be better than this. "Wow." Tony muttered. "I'm sorry you wen
Someone Like You Chapter Forty Eight
Leon She's too far away." Was my only thought as I watched Beth sleep. I'd taken her out on a date as promised and we had loads of fun. We went to the cinema to watch a movie, gate crashed a stranger's birthday party and then went to a restaurant to have dinner since we were both starving. We finally got back home by 11 and we were so tired - well, Beth was - that we both crashed immediately after taking our bath. I couldn't sleep because my hunger for her was back hence my thought about her being too far away. I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling and began to count how many times the fan rotated. I was at 200 when Beth suddenly screamed my name and sat up in bed breathing heavily. "Are you alright?". I asked her. She turned her head to look at me but she wasn't focused on me as tears spilled down her cheeks. She opened her mouth to talk and shut it again. "Beth?". I wanted to move close to her but the invisible barrier on the bed separating my side from hers stopped m
Someone Like You Chapter Forty Nine
Elisabeth I woke up to the most intense orgasm of my life. It had been my dream but opening my eyes to the reality of my husband going down on me was something I couldn't describe. My back arched off the bed as he reached up to palm my breasts, his touch rough and possessive and he watched his fingers play with my nipples, grunting with satisfaction as they hardened to painfully sensitive peaks. I cried out as he inserted two fingers in me making a come hither motion with them and I think I lost my mind there but he didn't let me fall for the second time as he suddenly pulled his fingers out. "Why?!". I cried. "Good morning." He grinned at me. "Awake now?". "God yes! Don't stop." I pleaded. "I woke up wanting you again and you didn't make it easy." He scolded me. "This gorgeous ass of yours was plastered to my cock all night." "That was the idea." I grinned mischievously. "Minx." He chuckled. "I want you to take me anytime you feel like it." I told him. "In front of the serv

Ben"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.The ma

Someone Like You Epilogue
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 Chapter Eighty Three
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
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
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."
