Chapter Ten

Leon From my position in the VVIP lounge upstairs, I could see Elisabeth talking to a man or more like she was laying into him and giving him the third degree. She didn't look happy so I guessed he was someone that had hurt her but it was none of my business. My only business was Delirium. I'd come to see for myself just how well it was going and so far I was really impressed with the result. I couldn't wait to tell Liese the good news. She and Collins were the only ones who knew I was going to open a nightclub but I'd put the business in Collins's name just in case dad found out about it. Not that he'd do anything about it, I just didn't want him to think I was planting my feet here in the city even though I was. I looked around the lounge and sighed. My life was like a bus with no actual destination and it was messing with my head. I used to be levelheaded, happy despite the shitty things my brother did to me but now... I couldn't say who Leonidas Alexandros Sebastiani was anymor

Chapter Eleven

Elisabeth I hated doing my laundry or going grocery shopping which was why Jules and I had hired a maid to take care of those chores for us. She worked at Blue Bird Airlines as the assistant to the general manager of the branch here in Lagos and just like my boss was prince of hades, hers was the king of hades. But the pay was so good, she couldn't think of leaving hoping that one day... She'd become her boss's boss. I'd had a bad night, last night, all thanks to that idiot Ben which in turn had caused me to toss and turn all night before I finally slipped into a fitful sleep then I'd woken up cranky, found out we were out of coffee and my day just got worse. Our maid had graciously helped herself to our valuable items like Jules' Manolo Blahnik shoes, her most treasured Chanel bag and some expensive clothes as well. Mine had been minimal but it'd hurt to have found my designer jeans from clothes over bros, my fur coat from the same brand and expensive earrings gone just before we

Chapter Twelve

LeonMy father once told me many years ago that I was evil and I'd believed him. I thought I could change for the better because of her but then I realized it was no fun being good all the time so I'd retained just a tiny bit of myself which had that evil streak in him.I knew I shouldn't have goaded Elisabeth like that but she'd looked so... cute and small in her oversized shirt and black jeans that I couldn't not tease her. I'd had fun teasing her and watching her react to it without being able to do anything about it and once I latched onto something I liked doing, nothing in this world could stop me from doing that thing so I hoped for her sake that I'd get bored real soon and stop or else I would have her running for the hills before the month would end.I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed that the smile I'd been wearing after I left her standing there in that aisle was still quite plastered on my face and I frowned. There was nothing to smile about. I'd teased her, laughe

Chapter Thirteen

ElisabethThe next dayI sat by the glass window of the restaurant waiting for Jules to show up. She'd had to travel with her boss yesterday and they were returning today but I'd left home early this morning to go see my mom who'd requested to see me. As usual she'd had nothing else to say except ask me when I'd be getting married again and if I had a guy in mind already. She'd gone as far as to suggest I get together with my boss from hell and that was when I decided enough was enough."Mom, you know I love you very much and I'd never do anything to hurt you right?". I asked her."I know that darling but...""No buts mom. You've gone too far this time." I cut her off. "What's wrong with the man? He's very wealthy... way more than Bennett's family and he's very handsome. What else do you want?". She looked exasperated."Love mom. I want a man who'd love and respect me and I don't see that in the Prince. He's a self absorbed figlio di puttana." I stated. "Whatever that means. People

Chapter Fourteen

Elisabeth I shook my head to clear my thoughts and I glared at my ex fiance. He didn't have any right to come here and breathe rubbish in my direction. I was done and dusted with him and I needed him to know and see that, maybe then he'd leave me alone. "You're so full of yourself you know that?". I sneered. "Do you really think so little of me? You'd say something to remind me of a day I'd forever like to be wiped from my memory and I'd fall back into your arms?". "I think very highly of you El. You're so high on a pedestal that I think if you were to look down, you'd get dizzy and fall off." He said. I laughed without mirth. "Funny. I did that on the day you decided it was fine to ruin my life. I wasted seven years of my life loving an animal like you Ben." I spat acidly. "Common sense should tell you to stay the fuck away from me but you have obviously lost the screws to your brain so your cells are floating around in your head without any purpose." The bastard did nothing els

Chapter Fifteen

Leonidas"Damn it." I banged my fist on the table as the scene from earlier today kept playing in my head nonstop like a broken record. I got home, took a shower then went to my gym to work out my frustrations but it had not worked so I left there and came to my home office to get some paperwork done. Victor had sent me the financial report for the second quarter and I decided to work on it to clear my head but that damned kiss was clouding my thoughts and making it hard for me to do anything.If I were a man who loved to drink, I'd have buried myself in tons of alcoholic drinks just to forget that I'd literally felt something when she'd kissed me. I didn't like the fact that she'd kissed me without my permission or that I'd felt something which was why I'd said those hurtful things. I wasn't remorseful because we'd both hurt each other but the 'mom' voice was telling me that two wrongs didn't make a right and I had to fix it."I'm not going to apologize to her." I said. "No way." I

Chapter Sixteen

Elisabeth"There I finally said it. Hopefully he'd give me my job back." I thought.I didn't like the fact that I was at his mercy but I was ready to make a compromise just so that we would be able to work together in peace and not in war."And you don't like it." He said, reading my mind just by looking at my face."No." I said."There won't be a third chance Miss Stevenson." He warned me. "Of course." I nodded.He huffed and opened the file in front of him, effectively dismissing me but I didn't leave because I didn't want to misunderstand what he said."I'll have Barbara add you back on the payroll and register later today." He didn't look up at me. "I believe you have a class right about now." He checked his wristwatch."Thank you." I muttered then turned and left his office quietly. I let out the breath I didn't know I'd been holding in as I sagged against the door in relief.I didnt want to stay at home doing nothing and I didn't want to give my father any reason to coerce me i

Chapter Seventeen

JaxonThis 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

Chapter Eighteen

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

Chapter Nineteen

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
