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
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
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 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
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
ElisabethA year ago...A tune from one of those Disney cartoons kept ringing in my head as I got ready to wear my dress. I'd been admiring it since I got it last month and I still couldn't believe the D-Day was finally here. I was going to be married to the love of my life, my first and last crush Bennett Owens two hours from now. "You're so beautiful E." My best friend and maid of honor Julianne grinned at me. "Thank you." I grinned back. I blew out my breath and picked up my phone to check if I'd gotten any message from Ben but my screen was blank."You know you're going to see him in a few hours right?". Jules teased me. "That phone has not left your side in days.""Um... Excuse me "miss tease the nervous bride", I've not seen Ben for two days now." I reminded her. "The last time I saw him...""I know. You saw him at the club just before he was hauled away by his annoying friends for a two day bachelor party." Jules rolled her eyes. "I hate those guys.""No you don't." I snorte
ElisabethPresent time....I groaned as the music I was listening to suddenly stopped playing and the ringtone I set for he-who-shall-not-be-named began to echo in my car making me more irritated.It's been... a year since the fool fucked up and despite me calling him all sorts of derogatory names that I'd never heard of, he was relentless. He wanted me back but I wanted him to back the fuck off.I put on my bluetooth earbud and tapped it to answer his call but silence filled my ear."What?". I snapped. "Is it until I block your number or change my sim that you'll get the memo?"."It's been a year El. Don't tell me you're still mad." He's shocked."Are you for real right now Ben?". I almost screamed. "I have every right to be mad for the next millennium you motherfucker.""I was drugged! I didn't...""Save that for the whore you were seen coming out of El Dorado with last night Ben." I cut him off harshly. "You must think I'm stupid. Well, newsflash... I'm not!".Ben sighed. "She wasn
LeonObnoxious...Spoilt...Entitled...Many years ago, I'd lived with the queen bitch of the obnoxious, spoilt and entitled rich girls club and after I severed all ties with said bitch, I vowed never to come across one, talk or even let my shadow get close to the other person's shadow until today.Maybe the world would really be a better place if everyone learned to apologize for the wrongs they did but some people's brains weren't just that developed. Like the... lady I met today.Mom told me never to be disrespectful to ladies and I tried my possible best to be polite to the undeserving ones but this lady today topped the charts.I alighted from my car and slammed the door shut as one of the young mechanics at the auto shop rushed up to me with a smile on his face."Good afternoon sir." He greeted."Hey Mike. What's up?". I shook hands with him. "Where's Victor?"."In his office." Mike replied. "Whoa! Who was the monster that did this?". His eyes widened when he saw the badly dente
