Jaxon

This is what my life has turned to.. stalking my own brother to know what he was up to. He'd refused to pick my calls after that day I called him and had even gone as far as blocking me and I didn't blame him.

I'd been horrible to him for no reason at all. Made fun of him after his girlfriend died when I should have been there to console him and in the end, when he'd not needed to help me... he had. I had my family today because of him and I would forever be in his debt.

I wanted his forgiveness for every bad thing I'd done to him. I wanted to be friends with my brother again, like we should have been all those years ago but I didn't know how to get it. I was happy with my family but my happiness would never be complete if my brother never found his and he deserved to have all the happiness in the world.

"You can do this Jax." I muttered to myself. "The least he'd do is beat me to a pulp for showing up at his work place."

Since I couldn't go to his house, I decided to visit him

    LeonidasI used to dream of the day my brother would come back to his senses and want to be friends again. I'd wanted that years ago but at this moment, I wasn't so sure anymore.He'd been the one holding himself back from seeing how much we loved him, had hurt me and everyone around him with his words and actions but I'd still waited until I lost her and I didn't even have hope for myself anymore, not to talk of him. Seeing him now on his knees right in front of me should make me happy but I felt nothing. I didn't think I'd feel anything if he cried tears of blood and anyone who wanted to judge me for being so cold hearted should first go through what I went through then decide if I was still to be judged or not."I can forgive everyone else but not you Jax." I told him. "I can never forget everything you did to me. You were supposed to be my brother. You were supposed to be more supportive of my choices but instead you made my life miserable and as if it was not enough... you made

    LeonI leaned against my desk watching Georgina who was busy dusting off imaginary dirt from her skirt. I was trying to calm myself down so I don't end up saying something that would make her cry. She was a bully and I hated bullies. Had those in my time and I dealt with them however I wished but I couldn't do that to her, not yet anyway until I have spoken to her mother."Will you expel me sir?". She asked."Is that what you want?". I questioned.She gave a half shrug. "It doesn't matter. No one cares anyway." She mumbled.I stared at the seventeen year old girl in front of me and I thought that she was exactly like my twin brother. He'd had the mindset that no one cared about him so he'd acted out, hurt everyone and almost ruined his own life in the process. I knew Georgina's family was a dysfunctional one; her father was a stupid pedophile who knew nothing else except to chase after girls at least three years older than his daughter and her mother cared more about her work than t

    ElisabethThe noise coming from down the hallway was distracting me from teaching. A woman was screaming at the top of her lungs cussing someone out and I figured that Leon had called the parents of the girls involved."Miss Stevenson." One of the boys, Jeremiah called."Yes Jerry?"."What's going on?". He asked. "Whoever it is shouting should pipe their voice down.""True dat." I thought. "I'll go and check. I don't want to hear anyone make a noise." I warned them."Yes Miss." They chorused.I walked to the door, opened it and walked out then shut the door behind me and made my way to the administrative offices where Leon's office was located. The noise was obviously coming from there and the door was opened so I tiptoed to the door and peeped.There was just one aggravated woman standing in the middle of the room talking to Leon who had his arms folded across his chest and the expression on his face wasn't friendly at all."I have called the police Mr Sebastiani." The woman informed

    Leon"You can't say that." Dad shook his head. "You can't give up hope of ever finding love again. That's all that matters.""I'll find love again and then what, I'll lose her too?". I spat. "She used to tell me she had bad luck but maybe I was the one with the bad luck. If I'd not come home from America, she'd still be alive. If I'd not befriended her and then fallen for her like the idiot I was and still is, she'd be alive.""Things happen for a reason Son. What if she wasn't meant to live past the age of seventeen? What then? You'll hold yourself accountable for the rest of your life?". He asked."I don't want to talk about it." I turned my back to him."No! This is the mistake I made... letting you go and causing you to shut everyone out." He walked around to stand in front of me. "I came here specifically for you. I want to sort whatever it is out with you. I want my son back.""I don't want to talk about it dad." I repeated through gritted teeth. "Let it go.""I want to know eve

    Elisabeth "Hey babes, have you heard the news?". Jules walked into the sitting room. She had her phone in her hand and was scrolling through something. "What?". I didn't tear my eyes away from the TV screen. "His Royal Majesty, King Andrei Sebastiani was involved in an accident today. He was admitted in Cornerstone hospital." She said. "It says here that he might not survive." "What?". My brows furrowed as I shot to my feet and grabbed her phone from her to see the news article by myself. Lo and behold, there was a picture of Leon on the front page of the website and an headline that read; Father of Billionaire Leonidas Sebastiani is reportedly hospitalized and fighting for his life. "How come?". I returned her phone. Jules shrugged. "They don't even have more details." She said. "You can ask him." "Who?". "Leon." "Why would I do that?". I frowned in confusion. "We're not friends." "But you can start by acting like you care." Jules suggested. "I'd bet that he's alone in the

    Leon Two weeks. I'd been in the hospital with mom for two weeks and she'd barely said a word to me after she hit me the other day. I didn't blame her though because if it was possible, I'd have beaten myself up to an inch of my life and I probably wouldn't have stopped. Dad's condition wasn't getting any better and he'd given us quite a scare when he flat lined two days after his bypass surgery but thankfully the doctors were able to stabilize him. The rest of the family including Grandma Bianca, Grandpa Julian and Grandma Anne arrived the next day and were all lodged in Southern Sun. I saw my sister Ina again after so many years and she was so very different from the spoilt little brat that had ruined my life all those years ago. We didn't talk much but the atmosphere wasn't as tense as it used to be if we were both in the same room. The door to dad's hospital room opened and Grandma Bianca walked in. She and Grandma Anne took turns watching over dad so that mom and I could rest

    A week laterElisabeth"Mr Sebastiani has called for a staff meeting." Daniel informed me immediately he walked into the staff office that Monday morning. "He's around?" I was surprised. It's been a week since I saw him last and though I was still concerned about his father but a part of me was still very mad at him for what he did. He'd ruined my expensive dress and he'd not apologized for it."Yes." He nodded. "I didn't even know there is a conference room in Empire High.""Is there?"."Yes. Barbara showed me the way." He replied. "Let's go."I stood up after disconnecting my Bluetooth earbuds and dumping it inside my bag then I took my phone and left with Daniel. We were friends now but I'd still not agreed to go out with him and he'd stopped asking. Thankfully."What do you think he wants to say?". I questioned."He's closing up shop." Daniel shrugged."No way. He can't shut down Empire High." I objected. "Surely he's not gone bankrupt.""Who knows what the hell goes on in that m

    Leon Elisabeth has called me many names... well not that many to my face but I knew that in her mind, she'd probably stabbed me with a knife too many times to count. She hated me and I disliked her but for the life of me, I couldn't give a reason why. I just knew that she was someone I couldn't see myself liking. I heaved a sigh as I shut the trunk of my car and looked at the school building. I'd made Fairfield international school into this and now I had to leave it... for good. It wasn't fair that I had to uproot my life again just as I was finally beginning to settle in but life wasn't fair. What I'd done to my family wasn't fair and I had to pay them back somehow. Mom would probably never forgive me for everything and that was fine because I'd never forgive myself in a million years to come. I'd carry this guilt all my life and sitting on that throne miserable would remind me of it everyday. I watched as Barbara hurried down the steps towards me and I let out a sigh. I knew Ba

    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."
