LeonTwo weeks laterThe day for Beth's ultrasound finally arrived and I made sure nothing stopped us from going to the hospital. Although at this point, it was a given that we were expecting more than one baby considering Beth's enormous belly - she would practically bury me alive if I ever said that to her face but yeah she was huge and certainly didn't like getting into my low slung cars anymore so now I either drove the Toyota Highlander or one of the two Range Rovers.She couldn't fit into any of her clothes anymore so mom took her shopping to buy a whole new wardrobe of maternity clothes which had earned her another space in my closet. I needed to expand the walk in closet so more of her clothes which I knew were still coming would fit in the shelves.We sat in the doctor's office waiting for her to arrive but we didn't wait long as the door opened and Wendy walked in."I'm sorry to have kept you waiting Your Majesty." She apologized."We just got here." I said."So, are you rea

BethA month laterMy dad suffered a mild heart attack but I'd been too worried about him even after mom told me that he was fine that Leon decided we should go see him just to put my mind at rest.We arrived in Lagos not even an hour later and immediately got into the waiting car on the tarmac. I rested my head on his shoulder and immediately dozed off knowing he'd wake me up once we got to my parents house. "Hey babe." Leon shook me awake. "We're here."I stirred and slowly opened my eyes then lifted my head and looked around. I was tired and I didn't want to walk so I just wrapped my arm around his bicep and rested my head back on his shoulder."I'm tired." I whined. "I don't want to walk.""You need to exercise your legs sweetheart." He told me. "Didn't you say your feet get swollen sometimes?""Yes but..." I sighed. "Okay."I watched him get out with tired eyes and then held out my hands for him to help me out which he did but I didn't expect that he'd carry me anyway."You said

LeonI never thought that I'd miss any other woman after Joni died but I missed Beth a lot and talking on the phone or even facetime with her couldn't compare to actually seeing her face in person. She'd managed to get under my skin and stayed there without any hope of her leaving and I didn't want her to because I was now used to thinking of her every hour, minute and second of every day and thinking of her did me more good than thinking of any other thing.As her father had said, I'd left Alexander in the hands of the police even though I still had half a mind to kill him and his entire family. I compensated the families of the dead guards and made sure to tell them they could come to me for anything and though it still wouldn't be enough for losing a loved one but it was the thought that counted.Michael was also getting better which I was glad for but he had to be on bed rest which he didn't like one bit but accepted for his fiancée's peace of mind."I'll be fine Your Majesty." Mi
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Seven
BethI should be scared of the woman who'd kidnapped me and Jules after she told us who she really was but I wasn't. All I felt for her was pity because she was obsessed with a man who didn't like her or love her and he hated her more than anything in this world.She'd taken his first love away from him and she wanted to do the same to me and my babies but I hoped that Leon would come to rescue us. I didn't want to die and I didn't want my unborn children to suffer for something they didn't do either but maybe I could try to make her see reason even if she was crazy.She'd waylaid me and Jules at the mall after we finished shopping for Jules' birthday and we were about to get into the car. I'd been about to open the passenger side door when she appeared behind me and pressed the muzzle of a gun at my belly and I froze. I didn't know who she was or why she'd targeted me but I'd hoped that at least someone would notice us. No one did."You scream and I'll kill her." She'd threatened Jul
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Eight
BennettIt was rather unfortunate that I had to resort to kidnapping the love of my life to keep her away from her husband. I'd met Darlene Edwards three weeks ago at a club, I'd not recognized her as one of the inmates who'd escaped from the Federal Prison for Women until after I took her back to an hotel, fucked her and then I realized it too late who she was but then she started rambling about how she escaped to be with the love of her life who was none other than the fucker who'd stolen Beth from me and I saw it as a golden opportunity to use her to get Beth from him and here we are."You did this?" She asked. "Why?""Because... I had no choice Beth." I said. "You left me to be with that idiot who'd never value you like I do."She stared intently at me then she threw back her head and laughed. She looked very beautiful but I knew she wasn't laughing because she found what I'd said funny but she was mocking me."You value me?" She echoed in disbelief. "Really? Was that why you fuck
Someone Like You Chapter Seventy Nine
BethI'd be lying if I said that I understood everything that was happening in front of me right now but I didn't. It all seemed so surreal to me and I couldn't fathom what the hell Leon wanted to do. I'd expected that he'd come barging in here with police men to arrest Darlene and Ben but he didn't even come with a gun to protect himself and I was well aware that he could shoot someone with his eyes closed and he wouldn't miss.Ben walked out of the bathroom, grabbed the gun from Darlene who didn't react fast enough and pointed it at Leon but Leon wasn't fazed in the least about being the new target and he just smiled like he already knew the outcome of this whole thing."You're not walking out of here with Beth." Ben told him. "Okay." Leon said.We all stared at him in surprise but I was more shocked at his acquiescence because I'd expected that he'd never agree to Ben's ridiculous demand."Leon, what are you saying?" I asked him. "You're going to let me go with him?""Of course."
Someone Like You Chapter Eighty
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
Someone Like You Chapter Eighty One
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
