Chapter Fifty

Ben"What the hell am I doing here again?". I asked myself as I sat in my car a few distance from Beth's new gargantuan house. I really shouldn't be here but I wanted to see her face again since she'd stopped taking my calls. I still couldn't believe that she'd married that idiot and she was Queen of a backward Kingdom now but funny enough the backward Kingdom as I'd thought it to be was more like a little city and it was beautiful.I watched as a giant with a scary looking face approached my car and I swallowed as I unfastened my seatbelt and alighted from the car then shut the door."Who are you?". The man's voice was a deep baritone and I thought that if he shouted, I think it could cause a mini earthquake."My name is Benjamin Owens. I'm here to see your Queen." I said."Family member?". He asked."I'm her cousin." I lied through my teeth. I didn't think he'd let me in if I said I was her ex boyfriend. He'd probably kick my ass across the Kingdom as a way of saying goodbye.The ma

Chapter Fifty One

Leon Two weeks later "Why is that fool still so noisy even after you're married?". I asked Beth. "I don't like it." "I'm sorry. I thought he left when I told him to. I should have made sure." She apologized. "Are you mad at me?". "No." I said. "But I want to punch his face in. People think you're cheating on me with him." She paled and looked around the restaurant but people were just minding their own business. I'd decided that we were too cooped up in the palace so we'd come out for fresh air. Dressed casually, we blended in with the other customers even though the manager of the restaurant had been beside himself when he came out to greet us. You'd think we were celebrities or something. "Relax." I placed my hand on hers. "No one would dare look at you the wrong way." "But he's gone now?". She muttered. "Yeah. Michael made sure of it. Saw him to the airport and watched him get on the plane." I shrugged. "He didn't leave until the plane took off." She heaved a sigh of relief

Chapter Fifty Two

Raymond"He's coming." I thought excitedly. "I'd finally get my revenge. After so many freaking years of waiting. I'd make mom and dad proud of me." I knew in my mind that Leonidas Sebastiani wouldn't make it easy for me to kill him. Most likely he'd come with guards and police men but he wasn't the type of person to back down from a challenge. He'd want to show that he had power over me but I'd show him that I was no longer that seventeen year old boy who'd been scared of him."Why do you want to hurt my dad?". Georgina's voice sounded from the corner of the room. I'd searched far and wide for a place that was abandoned and that was far from the town and I'd finally found it. It was a small shack on the outskirts of the town surrounded by trees. You wouldn't notice it was there if you didn't look well enough.I was standing by the small window watching out for his arrival. He was late and if I'd really wanted to hurt the girl just to spite him, I'd have done so."He's not your fath

Chapter Fifty Three

Georgina"Hey Princess." Dad walked into my bedroom but didn't come forward. "How are you feeling?".He'd taken me to the hospital for a series of tests and scans to see if I'd broken a bone or cracked a rib but I was fine... physically. Mentally... Not so much."Okay." I croaked out. I held out my hand to him and I watched him take a deep breath before he came to me, took my hand and sat on my bed. "Thank you for saving me dad."He pulled me into his embrace. "I'll do that and more for you anytime sweetheart." He kissed my hair. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.""I love you daddy." I murmured."And I love you more." He said. He pulled back to cup my face and kissed my forehead. "Someone's here to see you.""Chris?". I guessed."How did you know?".I shrugged."I can tell him to come back tomorrow." Dad said."No, it's okay." I smiled. "Let him in.""Okay." Dad said and left.I sighed as my phone rang and I picked it up then smiled when I saw that it was a conference call so I

Chapter Fifty Four

Leon "Fuck Beth." I breathed. "What the hell was that? I can see my brain cells floating in the air right now." She laughed gaily. "That was a thank you for saving our baby girl and coming home unhurt." She stroked my jaw. "Except for the bruises on your face." "The idiot took me by surprise." I said. "You take my breath away each and every time. I go to heaven every fucking time too." "I'm glad you liked it." She beamed. "We aim to please Your Majesty." "That's about right." I smacked a kiss on her lips and got up from the sofa to put on my clothes but I stopped and turned to look at Beth. "Did I hear George's voice earlier?". Beth paled. "Oh no!". She covered her mouth. "She must have heard us." "Fuck." I muttered. "I need to soundproof this room and our bedroom." I quickly put on my clothes. I wondered what George had wanted to talk about and I hoped it wasn't permission to go out because for now... I couldn't let her out of my sight. "Yeah." She agreed. I helped Beth into

Chapter Fifty Five

ElisabethThree weeks laterI stared at myself for quite awhile in the bathroom not really knowing what I was hoping to see but I knew one thing; I'd gained a few pounds since I got married. I was glowing, my eyes were bright and happy and there was not a day that I remembered what Ben had done to me.He'd made me the laughing stock and though I'd humiliated him by leaving him at the altar but I'd shed an ocean of tears because of him then I stopped. I stopped thinking about him and even my hatred for him was nonexistent now.I winced as a sharp pain made me clutch my abdomen and I groaned knowing what that meant but the pain intensified and I cried out."Beth? Are you okay?". Leon called from outside the bathroom door."Argh!". I fell to the floor as the pain became unbearable. It was worse than the usual cramps but I knew it wasn't just because I was having my monthly cycle but something else.The door opened and Leon came in, saw me on the floor and rushed over to meet me."What's

Chapter Fifty Six

Leon It had been fourteen hours since I found out that I was going to be a father and I still hadn't wrapped that fact around in my head. You could be wondering why I was so out of it considering I had a daughter already but Georgina was different. I didn't raise her since she was a baby, I didn't see her first walk or hear her first words and I certainly wasn't there when her mother was pregnant with her but this... I would get to see Beth grow heavy with my child and then once he or she arrived, it'd be like handling precious cargo. Beth had immediately called her parents to tell them the news and her mother hadn't stopped calling since five am this morning. She hadn't been able to get hold of her best friend but she'd left her a message. I should let my family know about the baby but I wanted to keep the news to myself a little while longer. "Babe, the hospital called." Beth walked into my home office. "The test results are ready." "Do they want us to come?". I asked. "Yeah. T

Chapter Fifty Seven

Elisabeth"Mom, dad... Beth and I have something to tell you." Leon smiled at me and squeezed my hand. "What is it?". Anna asked. "No, wait let me guess." She lifted her hand to stop Leon as he opened his mouth to talk. She scrutinized my face then let her gaze travel all over my body as if searching for something then her eyes zeroed in on my stomach as if she'd found the answer."Mom, let me tell dad if you don't want to know." Leon said."Oh hush." She swatted at him. "She's pregnant. Right?". She flashed us a blinding smile. "I'm going to be a grandma again?"."Really?". His father perked up at that. "This is not a prank right?"."No honey. She's really pregnant!". His mother squealed then stood up from her seat and came over to pull me in for a hug. "I'm so happy for us right now.""Us?". Leon looked confused."Of course. Your father and I." His mother beamed. "Why both of you? We're the ones pregnant." Leon frowned.I laughed and nudged his shoulder with mine.His mother let o

Chapter Fifty Eight

LeonI don't know what prompted me to come here but I couldn't stand the talk about multiple babies anymore. It felt like everyone was now an expert on the subject all of a sudden and it irked me which was why I had chickened out and called Liese to tell her the news but karma had decided that tonight was going to be my downfall and sent Beth here to hear what I had to say - my truth - because I'd been lying to her."Beth! Wait!". I ran after her as she turned and fled. King's meadow was a vast forest and she didn't know her way back home. I didn't want her to get lost or worse injure herself in her haste to get away from me. "Beth!"."Stay away from me!". She screamed.I caught up with her just as she almost tripped over a stone in her path and I steadied both of us."Let go of me!". She struggled against me. "Let go!".I released her and she whirled around immediately and slapped me across the face shocking me. I heard the guard behind me and lifted my hand to stop him knowing what

Chapter Fifty Nine

ElisabethMy words hung in the air as we stared at each other. Him with his mouth hanging open in shock and me... hurting because I had had no choice but to do this. I couldn't and didn't want to be his plaything, I wanted to be his wife - one he accepted and the mother of his child - also accepted. I wouldn't take anything less than that."What?". He rasped."You heard me." I said. "I want an annulment. This thing we call marriage is obviously not going to work so why stay in it?".He opened and closed his mouth several times then he turned and walked over to the floor and ceiling window and stared out."That's your final decision? An annulment?". He asked. "You're not going to think about the baby?"."I thought about the baby and I'm currently thinking about my baby which is why I think an annulment is best. You won't have to worry about me or the baby. It will be like I was never in your life." I told him. "I won't call you to tell you anything about the baby because like I told yo
