Someone Like You Chapter Twenty Nine
LeonTwo days later"So just like that, I won't be seeing you around anymore?". Hussein asked."We can still talk on Skype. It's not like I'm leaving the world." I chuckled."Yeah but it won't be the same as you dropping in for a visit." He mumbled. "Anyway, congratulations once again.""Thanks." I said."So, who's the wife?". Hussein grinned."Just a... Her name is Elisabeth. I can hardly stand her but I think she'll make the perfect candidate." I said."So no intimacy and stuff? You won't ever have children?". Hussein arched a brow. "I don't think your family will let you get away with that.""It's not a prerequisite. As long as I'm married before being crowned that's all they want." I said. "That's all I'll make them want once I'm King."I wouldn't let them badger me into having kids. That was where I would draw the line. I'd wanted kids once upon a time with 'her' but not with Elisabeth or any other woman. I didn't want that kind of deep connection.Hussein laughed and nodded. "Ok

ElisabethI stared at the 20 carat heart shaped diamond ring on my left finger still not quite believing that I was engaged to the man I hate the most. A man who annoyed me like no other. A man who brought out the worst in me and made me a raving bitch.I really hated him."You don't like it?". He asked me as we walked out of the store. "You chose it."I glared at him from the corner of my eye but didn't say anything as I dropped my hand to my side. I was doing this because of my mother. She was ecstatic that a man like Leonidas Sebastiani wanted me as his wife and she didn't care if he didn't love me. All she cared about was being seen as the mother in law to one of the wealthiest men in the world and a King.I started as a blinding light flashed in front of our faces and I raised my hand to cover my face as the paparazzi started firing questions at us asking us how long we'd been dating and shit. I wanted to cry because I'd not wanted this to happen."Let's go." He grabbed my hand a

LeonDad didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer so he was discharged and was now staying in my house for the time being until he was fit to travel back to Mercia. Jax had travelled back to America but Liese, Andres and Ina were still around.I pulled up in front of the house and shut off the engine then took a deep breath. I unfastened my seatbelt and looked over at Elisabeth."We're here." I said."I'm not blind." She muttered as she unfastened her seatbelt then opened the door and got out of the car.I did the same and shut the door then pressed the lock button on my key fob and the car beeped. I walked around the car to meet her and I sighed."Ready?". I asked her."You seem nervous." She remarked. "I like it." She smirked evilly and walked ahead of me.I shook my head and followed her up the short steps and into the house. I didn't think I'd miss this house so much but I did. It was the very first house I bought after arriving in Lagos and Zach's brother who was a real est

ElisabethI was in class teaching my students literature when the door to the class flung open and Barbara barged in looking like Godzilla. If she were a cartoon character, her ears would be smoking, her face would be a rainbow of colours. That would have been hilarious to watch."How dare you barge into my class like that? Have you no manners?". I demanded."You fucking bitch!". She marched up to me and bitch slapped me which threw my head sideways and I gasped in shock. "You stole my man!".I rubbed my cheek and turned to face her then I smirked smugly which made her see red and she made to hit me again but I grabbed her wrist with one hand and backhanded her with the other, the force making her lose her balance and sending her sprawling on her ass which caused the students to burst out laughing."Don't even think about it." I growled.She scrambled to her feet with a roar and lunged for me pushing me with all her might to the wall and I got my breath knocked out of me with that act

LeonI didn't want to do this. Any of this but I had no choice. Beth and I were at the event planner's office talking about what we wanted for the wedding but of course I left it all to Beth because she was a woman and she knew all these things."I'm thinking we should do it in your hometown." Beth looked at me. "Don't you think so?".I looked up at her from my phone. "My dad can't travel yet." I muttered."Have you asked him?"."That's what the doctors said." I almost snapped at her. "You want a church wedding, that's what you're going to get."She rolled her eyes at me and I rolled my eyes back at her then continued with what I was doing."We'll use Southern Sun Hotel and Suites for the reception." She told the woman. "It'll accommodate all our guests.""How many people are coming exactly? I don't like the way you mentioned that word; guests." I narrowed my eyes at her."Thousands of people. My father's friends, my mother's friends. Family." She shrugged nonchalantly. "Senators and

Elisabeth Two weeks later Two weeks ago, I was still single. Two weeks ago, my ex fiancee threatened to unleash hell on my future husband if he didn't stay away from me. Two weeks later, I was an hour away from marrying a man I didn't see myself ever falling in love with. I took a deep breath as I stood in front of the full length mirror to take a look at myself. The dress I'd worn for my wedding had been beautiful but this one was out of this world. It was a lacy A-line gown with a fitted waistline and a flare skirt. It was strapless with a sweetheart neckline and it made me look slimmer than I was. I loved it! "You look so breathtaking. My brother will literally swallow his tongue." Leon's sister Liese smiled. "You're the most beautiful bride in the world right now." "That's so true." His other sister Ina remarked. "I suddenly feel like getting married again and in this dress. I'm so jealous." I laughed. "You made it." "That's why I'm jealous." She said. "Thank you so much

Elisabeth The kiss had been perfunctory but I'd felt it all the way from my head to my toes. It wasn't the first time we'd kissed but the second time was better than the first and almost two hours later I was still feeling his lips on mine. "You're quiet." Leon muttered. We'd had our first dance as husband and wife and now it was time for best man's speech. I hoped his best friend would say something that would shed light on why Leon acted the way he did. I wanted to know more about my infuriating husband and maybe... understand him a little. "You like me this way." I replied stiffly. "Quiet." "Sometimes... I like hearing you talk." He said. "Drowns out the voices in my head." "What voices?". I frowned. "Do you hear people's thoughts?". He threw back his head and laughed. "I wish." He chuckled. "But no... they're just voices." "Did you do something bad?". I inquired. "Did you... maybe kill someone?". He went quiet and looked away and I chastised myself for opening my big mout

LeonIt's never easy to argue with a woman who is determined to ruin your life. Elisabeth Nadine Stevenson was the bane of my existence. I wish I could turn back the hands of time to change my decision to marry her. I'd wanted a woman I couldn't stand but she was turning out to be more than I bargained for."Wow." Beth said as the car cruised down the street heading straight to the palace. I was almost glad to be back in my own territory. "Your Kingdom is very... Well, I'd call it a city.""It's yours as well now." I said. "Unofficially until you're crowned the Queen.""I suddenly can't wait." She beamed.I stared at her thinking that she was acting very strange. I'd noticed her weird behaviour for the past few days but I'd not been able to figure out what her agenda was. She was more docile than she was two weeks ago and she was all smiles, like nothing could bother her. It was infuriating."Remember the rules." I reminded her. "We're going to stay in separate rooms.""Did your paren

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

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

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."
