Till I Met You Chapter Seventy
Leon I sit on the edge of my bed staring at nothing in particular and thinking about my life when a knock sounds on my door. It's brief and sharp then I hear Jared's voice asking me if he can come in and I scoff. I don't answer but the door is unlocked and opened and Jared walks in, bows and proceeds to tell me that my father has requested my presence in the throne room. "In a minute." I mutter. "I'm sorry Your Highness but you don't have a minute." Jared informs me. I rise to my feet, skirt my bed and head out of my room without another word. I see Liese coming upstairs and she halts as I almost get to her but I don't stop walking or acknowledge her. Jared and I get to the throne room and we're let into the room where I meet my parents and grandma talking but they stop when they see us. "Thank you Jared." Dad waves him away and Jared leaves. "Sit Leon." He says. I prefer to stand and I tell him that. He's surprised but he doesn't fight me on it which I'm grateful for. "Very

JoniLiese didn't have any good news for me. No letter from Leon or even a single word and it hurt me that he didn't even think to reply to my letter.I didn't make an exaggerated confession but it was the best anyone has gotten from me in a long time and Leonidas Sebastiani took it for granted. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions because the boy has a way of doing things that no man understands but still it hurt and I'll definitely tell him that once I set my eyes on him and just to punish him, I'll make him earn the next confessions that will ever come out of my mouth again.Jaxon AKA asshat is still asleep and it makes me scared to think of Leonidas's departure from Mercia if he doesn't make it. But I think the stupid boy is only trying to give his parents heartache for all the ones he'd supposedly suffered because of their excess love towards Leon.Bullshit.If it were up to me, I'd march down to that hospital and force him to wake up. I'd probably beat him to consciousness the
Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Two
Leon This is the beginning of my end. I have made a far worse enemy than my father has in all his years of being King and it's one that is family. Familial enemies are the worst. I'm not scared for my life because I've endured far worse than anyone can ever imagine but what I won't accept is anyone touching a hair on Jonina's head. I'm a raving monster when it comes to her and I'd dismember anyone who even thinks it's okay to hurt her which is why I did what I did to my brother Jax. He'd made her scared and uncomfortable. He'd threatened her and I know he'd have gone ahead with his threats if I'd not stopped him but thankfully, for my mother's sake he didn't die. Everything I do boils down to the fact that I don't want to see my mom in tears crying over the death of a child or else I'd had the chance to end Jaxon the second time I'd taken a hold of that gun and I'd have taken that chance if not for Mom. We'd be one happy family if Jax isn't hell bent on bringing us down and mak
Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Three
Three weeks laterAlthough it was very much old news but students still gathered together to talk about the video that had been posted on the school's website by an anonymous person.It concerned the crown prince so of course they had to discuss it, dissect it and come to a conclusion that he'd finally opened his eyes and saw the kind of person Jonina Samuels was. The haters were happy that they were no longer together even though they knew that they didn't have a single chance with him and they didn't care that the crown prince was miserable. "We did it." Ina beamed at her best friend. "Told you it'll work like magic." Darlene grinned back triumphantly. "My plans have never not worked. Even when I made my sister break up with her boyfriend.""Why would you do something like that? She's your sister." Ina looked shocked."Pot calling a kettle black. Is Leon not your brother?". Darlene demanded. "Or should I go and tell him we were the ones that destroyed his relationship with that gi

Joni "I don't believe we've met." I totally ignore the gorgeous idiot beside me as I smile winningly at the girl eye fucking my boyfriend. I don't like the way she's staring at him like she wants to have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm the only one allowed to have such thoughts even though I've never really thought about him and the word 'naked' in the same context. She should better back the fuck off or I'll be forced to do something crazy. "So... This is her." Darlene or whatever the fuck her name is eyes me up. "Wow." I step in front of Leon and even though I'm irritated, I don't let the smile slip from my face. I don't know if it's a good wow or otherwise but I won't stand here and let her continue to pretend like I'm not here. "Yes. His girlfriend. My name is Jonina." I hold my hand to her. "Nice meeting you..." "Darlene." She spits not bothering to shake my hand. "Talk to you later Leonidas." She brushes past me. "It's Prince Leonidas to you." I call over my sh

LeonI am exhausted by the time I get back home from my outing with Joni and trudge upstairs to my room. It's been a long day and all I want to do is take a shower and crash immediately but when I get to my room, I'm surprised by the change.There are candles littering everywhere and rose petals lined up from the door to my bed and rose petals on my bed forming a heart which would have amused me if the voice did not interrupt my thoughts."Welcome home handsome." Bitch from hell smiles seductively at me from the doorway of my bathroom dressed in nothing but a flimsy towel."What the hell is all this? Why did you turn my room into a hotel room?". I ask.I don't have it in me to be very pissed off because the adrenaline rush from my experience with Joni today is still flowing through my body or else she'd be out on her ass outside my bedroom door."Don't you like it?". She pushes away from the door and sashays over to where I'm standing in the foyer. "This is for you.""Why?". I ask."W
Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Six
JoniI have never woken up with a smile on my face for as long as I can remember until just recently. By recently; I mean when I started letting Leonidas Sebastiani into my heart and it's the best feeling in the world.That feeling of having a reason to wake up every morning, a reason for wanting to go to school on a freaking stormy Monday morning with the widest smile on your face. You say the cheeriest good morning to your estranged stepsister causing her to stare at you as if mentally asking you if you're high or something but you don't care. You give your new friend/brother a big hug for nothing and you make him the best breakfast he's ever had since his mother left home and you get a thank you kiss on your cheek for that.That's the type of mornings I always want to have and hopefully forever. Raymond turns on the home theater sound system, plays the track he wants and Ed Sheeran's shivers blasts from the speakers and I let out a scream as we begin to break out some crazy moves
Till I Met You Chapter Seventy Seven
LeonI knock briefly on the door of my father's home office and open it then poke my head in to see my father hard at work with several papers lying around on his desk. I shouldn't bother him but I have something very important to ask him. Something that can't be postponed."Hey dad. You busy?". I ask.He looks up at me and smiles, waving me in. "Never for you."He only ever says that to my mom but who am I to complain. I walk in, shut the door and walk to to his table and I bow."Good evening father." I greet."Evening. How was school today?"."I wish every Monday will be like this one." I say as I take my seat."How so?". He's surprised."Joni has finally let me in." I grin. "She's more open with her feelings now.""That's why I told you never to give up." Dad says. "A patient dog sometimes eats the fattest bone.""And other times?". I smile teasingly.Dad shrugs. "It starves to death."I laugh. I have missed my discussions with my father and it is all thanks to Jax. That will end n

Till I Met You Epilogue
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. I finally accepted her wish the next day after she told me to let her go and the ventilator machine was turned off. A little boy of about ten needed a kidney transplant and Joni's kidney matched his so I gave them the go ahead to do the transplant but that was it. She didn't want anyone to have her heart and no one got it. The preparations for her funeral were made and here we are three weeks later... finally putting her to rest. I rise to my feet and move to the front when the priest calls on me to give my speech. I don't have a speech to eulogize her but a song so I sing that thanking her for her love and when I am done, there isn't a dry eye at the cemetery. The priest gives his final speech, prays for her to find a resting place and it's over. I am standing by her coffin staring down at it when I suddenly look up

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." I say."What are

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

GabriellaScrewed.I wish I had another word to qualify how screwed I am but no words come to mind. 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. Any girl in my position would want to be recognized by someone like him in a crowd. He was after all every girl's dream guy a
