2024-10-29 19:42:56Jared was shocked to see Leon walk in through the gates as he was talking to his wife on the phone so he quickly apologized for cutting their call short and hung up then rushed to meet Leon who was walking towards him.
"Your Highness... How did you... Why didn't you call me to pick you up?". He asked.
"There was no need. I'm here now." Leon said.
"The King will be very upset if he finds out about this." Jared said.
"Then we won't tell him." Leon patted his arm, brushed past him and went into the palace.
"Like father like son." Jared scowled at Leon's retreating figure thinking that he'd heard something similar from his father so many eons ago.
"Leon, you're home." Liese rushed to hug him. "Are you okay?".
"I'm fine. Where's dad?".
"Upstairs. I think he's asleep or something." She replied. "He was reall

Andrei's POVYou know you're in deep deep trouble when your mother calls you by your full name including the one you didn't know your dear grandfather might have given you but your parents purposely left it out of your birth certificate because they didn't like it - immediately you pick her call. She doesn't even give you the chance to sneak a greeting in, she just goes down to business.That's exactly how I feel right now as I listen to my mother rave and rant on the phone practically making me deaf but I'm too traumatized by her words to put the phone away."Mom..." I begin, hoping she'd let me get a word in."I'm not done yet." Bianca snaps. "I know you can't watch them every single second of the day but you need to try harder Andrei. What if Jax had missed and plunged that knife into Leon's heart instead? We'd be planning a funeral right now!"."You're blowing this out of

Leon's POVAnger...It's a feeling I almost always try to avoid taking over me because I end up over doing things. It's just as my grandma said; I rarely ever get angry but when I do... I wreck havoc and it's exactly what I have done.I have broken my mother's heart, sent my brother to the hospital like he did me and upset my father. The peace in our family is long gone because of me and there's nothing I can do to change it except leave. If I'm being honest with myself... ever since I arrived in Mercia, I have been feeling out of place. Like I don't belong here and it took my brother almost taking my life for me to realize that. I cannot do this to myself anymore.With that thought in my mind, I head to my closet, grab my suitcase from the bottom shelf and open it then I begin to yank my clothes from the hangers and dumping them into the bag haphazardly. I don't need much clothes so I don't pack all of them.

An ear piercing scream filled the air causing the maids working in the kitchen to wonder if the apocalypse was here. After what went down between the Crown Prince and his brother though, they weren't really that concerned about the scream but they hoped whoever it was that screamed bloody murder was alright.Leon barged into Andres's room and stopped short when he saw his baby brother cowering in fear on his bed while Ina tried to placate him. Liese rushed in as well and was surprised by the scene in front of her."Are you okay Andres?". Leon asked.Andres bolted out of bed and rushed to hug Leon shaking like a chick that had been left in the rain for so long, not knowing where its mother was."Andres?". Liese frowned at her brother. "What is it?"."She's bringing the devil into our home." His voice shook.Leon and Liese stared at each other in confusio

Considering the event that unfolded yesterday, the kids were hesitant to join their parents for breakfast but Leon made the first move and the rest of them followed suit."Good morning mom, dad." Leon greeted and settled down on the seat next to Andrei."Morning mom, morning dad." The remaining three greeted."Good morning." Andrei said. "How was your night?"."I had a nightmare." Andres piped up."About what?". Andrei asked."Darlene.""Not again Andres." Ina snapped.The rest of them turned to look at Anna hoping to get a reaction from her but she didn't even spit. It was like she was in a world of her own."Mom." Leon called."Hmm?". She looked up from her food. "Oh! Good morning." She said. "How was your night?"."Are you okay mom?". Liese asked lookin

Three days laterAndres"The witch from the deepest part of hell is here." Is all I can think of as I watch my sister who is supposed to value my feelings over hers hug her friend.I've always known Ina values what she thinks, her feelings over everyone else's in this family and her recent disregard of dad just shows how far she'd go to get whatever she wants.My skin crawls as Cruella's laughter carries over right to where I am standing on the balcony looking down at them and I shiver then freeze as she suddenly lifts her head as if knowing someone is watching her and her eyes connects with mine and a second later, her evil lips curls up in a smile."Andres!

Leon"What are you doing?". I ask Joni as she stays hunched on her bed scribbling something down in a notebook. Something she obviously doesn't want me to see."I'm writing." She says."What are you writing?". I inquire."Something.""Are you really going to make me keep asking before you spill the beans?". I arch a brow.She asked me to sit down on the only single chair in her room and that's where I've been for the past seven hours. I should be heading home since it's almost time for dinner but I don't feel like leaving and dad, thankfully hasn't called me yet."Yes." She mutters. "It's something you've been bugging me to tell you.""Oh? For your birthday?". I perk up at that."Not really. Just something I've been wanting to do all my life." She shrugs. "There's plenty of them."

Darlene saw two boys - two insanely gorgeous boys step out of their rooms as she walked out of hers and her eyes was immediately fixated on the older one who was busy typing something with lightening speed on his phone. He was dressed in a sky blue suit, white shirt and red tie and his dress shoes or more like boots were definitely Christian Louboutin.She'd always ever had eyes for the older Sebastiani sibling, ever since they were introduced years ago but he'd not liked her and he'd made it known that first meeting that he didn't like her. It'd hurt her of course but that had not stopped her from trying to get close to him and just like before, she found herself gravitating towards him until she stood directly in front of him."Good morning Leon." She greeted."Morning." He walked past her and headed towards the stairs without even looking up at her.She couldn't stop herself from gawking at his de

Joni "This is none of your business sir." I can feel the anger radiating from Leon's tense figure. Everyone knows he hates teachers invading his privacy but some know it all still like to poke their noses into his business. "This is not the first time this is happening Your Highness." Mr Zorai tells him. "Every time I walk into this class, both of you are always leaning towards each other discussing God knows what. I'm not the only teacher that has noticed this either as well." "Good for y'all then." Leon's voice drips with sarcasm. "Just get on with your lesson and leave us alone." "And have this continue? I always like my students staying super focused on me when I'm teaching Your Highness so how about I help you out by daring you to kiss Miss Samuels?". He said. "That way, we'll all be able to breathe freely and not get suffocated by the sexual tension surrounding both of you like a thic

Three weeks later Leon Ashes to ashes Dust to dust I'm listening to every other word the priest is saying as he stands in front of Joni's coffin at the cemetery.

LeonI feel something pull at my hair. Like someone trying to pick a strand of my hair from my head and without thinking too much about it, I swat at the hand over my head but then I hear someone giggling - a familiar giggle and I lift my head sharply.I'm hoping it's her but there's nothing. She doesn't move and my shoulders slump. It's just been twenty four hours and kinda too early for a miracle but I hope one will happen soon."Why do you look so downcast Your Highness?". Joni asks me.I look around the room in shock until I see her sitting on the sofa with a strawberry smoothie in one hand and sandwich in the other."Am I dreaming?". I croak out."Maybe." She laughs.I look her over and see that she's dressed in a white and red polka dot gown with white wedges to match. Her hair is packed up in a loose bun and she's wearing the diamond earrings I gave her for Christmas."You look beautiful." I say."Too bad it's not 14th yet." She pouts. "I wanted to go to that dance.""You can.

LeonI have just pulled on my jeans when I hear Liese's frantic voice calling my name as I stand in my closet still thinking of a shirt to wear but I abandon that thought and rush out to meet her."Leon." She breathes running over to me. Tears are running down her cheeks so fast, it's like a dam opened up in her tear ducts."What's wrong?". I ask her."I... Collins... Joni..." She stutters."Joni? What happened to her?". I demand."Accident... It was bad." She says. "She's been taken to the hospital."I run back to my closet, grab any shirt and shrug it on then my car keys are in my hand the next instant and I hurry out of my room not bothering about my shoes.I breeze past grandma who is shocked to see running barefoot but before she can call my attention, I am already halfway down the steps."Leon! Where are you rushing to without your shoes?". Mom calls as I pass her as well just as she comes out of the living room."Hospital!". I call over my shoulder."What!". I register her shoc

A month later Joni Life... A period between birth and death. "Life is short" is what people say and that's the truth. I never used to believe that until today. As usual, my gorgeous boyfriend thought it best to take me out on a date seeing as we're almost ticking the last of the boxes on my never have I ever list but a part of me knows he's very excited about number 99 and 100 and I am too but I'm just not as excited as he is. He's like a kid who's been given cartblanche to choose any candy he wants in the candy store. It's February 14 in a week's time and every student is buzzing with excitement concerning the upcoming dance for Valentine's day. I've been a student of IHHS for eleven years and counting and I've never been to a school dance before. Minus kindergarten and elementary school, say during my junior years, I'd never been asked by a boy to go to the dance with him so when Leon asked me today which took me by surprise, I said yes. It's the last dance for me before I

LeonIt's new year, also mom and dad's birthdays and I might have made an unconscious resolution to be a good boy this year. No getting into fights with my brother or anyone else but that didn't stop me from being the devil and just to taunt my brother, invited his flavor of the month; Gabriella Sysavane.The girl didn't want to come but I'd convinced her not to be scared and I might have created a scene in her head where my brother would end the day with two girls who were not her in his bed because I know he's capable of doing it and she'd said yes."Why are you smiling?". Joni asks me."He's coming." I say."Who?". She looks over her shoulder to see Jax marching towards us with a murderous glare. "What crawled up his ass?"."Gabriella." I chuckle."Did you invite her?!". Joni gasps looking shocked. "What happened to being a good boy this year and all that?".I shrug not saying anything as Jax gets to us. I grin at him and give him a side hug."Happy new year bro."

Joni It's new year's eve in Mercia but it feels like it's already new year. Everywhere has been decorated in preparation for the King and Queen's birthday party tomorrow and the whole Kingdom's been invited to celebrate with them. We arrived in Mercia yesterday morning and while it was good to be back home, I couldn't wait to see the world again but preferably only with Leon next time. It's a nice day to go for a walk and I do exactly that even though I really don't have a destination. I wave at people and greet some I like on my way until I get to the Catholic Church and stop outside the gate. I've never been to church once. I didn't feel the need to do so before but now I feel like it's about time I let go of all the pain and heartache and possibly the hatred I feel for my dad and stepmom. I walk into the premises of the church then up the short steps leading into the church before I change my mind. There are several other people sitting on pews and praying while some are kneel

Leon I still can't believe what Andres had told us yesterday before we boarded the jet. My own self-absorbed twin brother going behind our backs to date a non royal while openly telling me not to date one. The motherfucker. He should be glad I didn't find out about this while I was still in Mercia or else I'd have given him the beating of his life. Gabriella Sysavane. I don't think I know her though but Collins would. I look around the beach in search of my best friend but can't find him or my sister anywhere which makes me frown wondering where they'd gone to. The beach isn't crowded today thankfully so I have no problem looking for them. We arrived in America very early this morning and my grandma's driver Ron came to pick us up at the airport and drove us to her penthouse. We all woke up feeling well rested and after a quick lunch, we came to the beach. Joni and Andres are playing volleyball with Raymond and some other kids and Collins was with them just a little while ago. I

Liese I jerk awake all of a sudden from a dream which turns out to be a bad idea because the action makes me feel dizzy and my head feels like ten elephants are sitting on it. I groan and clutch the sides of my head wondering how the hell I got back to my hotel room last night. We'd partied hard celebrating Joni's birthday for a week but we all decided to get drunk yesterday. I just don't remember the details after or how I'm in the hotel room right now. I turn my head to look at the alarm clock and see that it's ten am in the morning and I sigh. We're leaving France today but not going back to Nigeria because Leon has another surprise in mind for Joni. I think I'd be very jealous of Joni for snagging a thoughtful and wonderful boyfriend like Leon if he wasn't related to me. My older brother loves with all his heart, body, mind and soul and Joni is damn lucky to be the recipient of his affections. Unlike he who shall not be named. Y'all know who I'm talking about so no need to

I stare at the stick in my hand again for the millionth time hoping that the pink line which looks like a cross that I'm seeing isn't actually true.I can't be pregnant.I bite my bottom lip to keep it from trembling as tears gather in my eyes but I don't want to jump to conclusions just yet because these things aren't accurate. I just got it to find out why I've been feeling so tired and dizzy lately.My mom must not find out though or I'm dead. She'll strangle me with her bare hands, squeeze me like cloth and spread my skin out to dry.I'd disappointed her and myself by getting pregnant. I should have learned from her experience not to fall into a situation like this but no! One crooked smile flashed my way and I'm putty in his hands.You can't blame me though.
