Someone Like You Chapter Sixty Four
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
Someone Like You Chapter Sixty Five
ElijahI never dreamed that one day all my sufferings would be over. I'd always thought that I'd do odd jobs if I could get any to take care of my sisters but I'd never expected that I'd end up here... in the palace talking to the King of Mercia about what I wanted to do.I'd been discharged from the hospital and my sister Imani was feeling a little bit better which I was happy about. Sarah had been taken to see a doctor about her eyes and there was good news."I actually want to finish school sir. I mean high school so I can get a better job." I said. "I dropped out of school after my mom died so I could take better care of my sisters.""Christian told me you're not from here." He said. "You came here after your mother died?"."Yes sir." I nodded. "She told me about my father before she died and I thought that he'd be able to help us if we came here but he didn't even let me speak before he threw me out claiming that I'm not his son." I took a deep breath. "He called my mom a prostit

Christian was very livid when he saw Elijah walk into the school building with Georgina and her father. He was telling her something and she was smiling and then his scowl deepened when she hit his chest playfully and shoved him making him laugh. He didn't want Elijah here in Imperial Heights or even Mercia but he didn't have any say in the matter seeing as Georgina's father had taken to him. He didn't even like the fact that Elijah was living in the palace as part of the royal family when he Christian, who was the Crown Princess's boyfriend couldn't come and go as he pleased there.He watched as they turned the corner and went straight to the adminstrative offices and he guessed that the fucker was about to be enrolled in the school and that made his blood boil."There's a new shiny toy in school." One of his friends remarked.He cut his gaze to his friend. "What?"."The dude is walking with the King of Mercia. He's a celebrity." His friend gestured around him at the girls who were

LeonA few weeks later"Do you think I'm fat?". Beth stood at the foot of the bed dressed in a blue silk gown. I looked up from tying my shoe laces to smile at her. "No babe, you don't look fat." I replied. "Who told you that?""My reflection in the mirror." She pouted.I laughed. "You're fine just the way you are." I rose to my feet and walked over to pull her into my arms, her protruding belly coming in between us. "Reflections are mean."We were on our way to the hospital to check how fast her wrist was healing or if it wasn't healing and also to find out if we were having many babies. Funny enough, I was excited to know that myself and I no longer felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. "Hmm, maybe you're right." She murmured and pulled back. "Can we drop by Quinn's bakery on our way back?""Sure." I smiled.Sarah's surgery had been successful and she was starting to see things more clearly much to the joy of her brother and sister. The three siblings w
Someone Like You Chapter Sixty Eight
ElijahFuck. I was so screwed. I knew it in my bones that the dream that was so vivid, so colourful and wonderful was a thing of the past. And it was all thanks to my insane half brother Christian.I almost knew the kind of person the Princess was; she was a no nonsense person and I was sure she wouldn't have stood for her boyfriend's behaviour if he'd shown his true colours to her but it had been too late.The King was probably raving mad at us and I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to banish us. I wasn't at fault and I shouldn't have fought back but he'd been mean to Georgina and her tears had caused me to lose it. Now.... You must be wondering exactly what happened that led to me and Christian fighting. All stories had beginnings so I'd start mine from there as well.It was just a few minutes before the bell rang for the end of third period. Georgina and I were the only ones in class because we didn't offer geography and the others did so they'd all gone to the smaller lecture h
Someone Like You Chapter Sixty Nine
BethI watched Leon pace to and fro in the waiting area of the emergency ward. I was feeling dizzy from watching him but I couldn't stop because he looked like he was going to blow his top off from how angry he was.I was upset too about the whole thing and I wondered what could have aggravated the boys so much that they'd resorted into fighting with weapons. Elijah was a quiet boy, reserved and didn't look like someone who could get extremely violent. Likewise Christian but until I knew all the facts, they were both guilty until proven innocent.My phone vibrated in my purse on my lap and I quickly dug it out but it wasn't a call. It was a notification from the school's website which made me frown because I hardly got any notifications from Imperial Heights for weeks now.I clicked on the notification thinking it was a news article but it was a video which someone had probably recorded. I could see Christian which made me curious so I decided to play it to see what it was about."Leo

Leon "Please Your Majesty, tamper justice with mercy." Christian's mother pleaded. "My son is a very good boy. He just allowed the devil to use him in that moment." I stared down at the woman who'd waylaid me immediately I alighted from the car. Beth had decided to stay home with Georgina so I came alone with Elijah. I hated two kinds of parents: the ones who refused to acknowledge the fact that apart from the children they had and raised, they had another one or two outside their marriage and the other set of parents were those who acknowledged that they had fathered a child outside of their marriage but hated that same child and this was the case with Elijah's father. "I told you not to come to me unless I summon you." I growled at the woman. "Did I summon you?" "No Your Majesty." She answered. "So, why are you here?" I demanded. "I just came to..." "Do you know that boy?" I pointed at Elijah who was talking to Michael. "Y... Yes Your Majesty, he's my husband's first son." Sh
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy One
ElijahGeorgina's recovery was slow but she was getting better. She'd woken up earlier this morning and requested for water, stayed awake for a few minutes before she drifted back to sleep again. The King and Queen were out so I'd promised to watch her and they'd agreed without any argument. Somehow their acceptance floored me because it was partly my fault that she was here lying unconscious. If only…"Daddy!" Georgina suddenly cried out from her sleep. "Daddy no!"I shot up from my seat and hurried over to her bedside as she thrashed around on the bed tangled up in her bed covers. I sat beside her and put my arms around her as she sat up in bed sweating and crying."You're okay Maya. It's only a dream." I told her."Elijah?" She frowned at me. "Where am I?""In your bedroom." I replied. "It's only a bad dream.""It looked so real." She gasped. "Where's my dad?""He went out with your mom." I answered. "How are you feeling?""Strange. Like I was eaten by a monster and spat out." She

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
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."
