Someone Like You Chapter Twenty Three
Leon Two weeks. I'd been in the hospital with mom for two weeks and she'd barely said a word to me after she hit me the other day. I didn't blame her though because if it was possible, I'd have beaten myself up to an inch of my life and I probably wouldn't have stopped. Dad's condition wasn't getting any better and he'd given us quite a scare when he flat lined two days after his bypass surgery but thankfully the doctors were able to stabilize him. The rest of the family including Grandma Bianca, Grandpa Julian and Grandma Anne arrived the next day and were all lodged in Southern Sun. I saw my sister Ina again after so many years and she was so very different from the spoilt little brat that had ruined my life all those years ago. We didn't talk much but the atmosphere wasn't as tense as it used to be if we were both in the same room. The door to dad's hospital room opened and Grandma Bianca walked in. She and Grandma Anne took turns watching over dad so that mom and I could rest

A week laterElisabeth"Mr Sebastiani has called for a staff meeting." Daniel informed me immediately he walked into the staff office that Monday morning. "He's around?" I was surprised. It's been a week since I saw him last and though I was still concerned about his father but a part of me was still very mad at him for what he did. He'd ruined my expensive dress and he'd not apologized for it."Yes." He nodded. "I didn't even know there is a conference room in Empire High.""Is there?"."Yes. Barbara showed me the way." He replied. "Let's go."I stood up after disconnecting my Bluetooth earbuds and dumping it inside my bag then I took my phone and left with Daniel. We were friends now but I'd still not agreed to go out with him and he'd stopped asking. Thankfully."What do you think he wants to say?". I questioned."He's closing up shop." Daniel shrugged."No way. He can't shut down Empire High." I objected. "Surely he's not gone bankrupt.""Who knows what the hell goes on in that m
Someone Like You Chapter Twenty Five
Leon Elisabeth has called me many names... well not that many to my face but I knew that in her mind, she'd probably stabbed me with a knife too many times to count. She hated me and I disliked her but for the life of me, I couldn't give a reason why. I just knew that she was someone I couldn't see myself liking. I heaved a sigh as I shut the trunk of my car and looked at the school building. I'd made Fairfield international school into this and now I had to leave it... for good. It wasn't fair that I had to uproot my life again just as I was finally beginning to settle in but life wasn't fair. What I'd done to my family wasn't fair and I had to pay them back somehow. Mom would probably never forgive me for everything and that was fine because I'd never forgive myself in a million years to come. I'd carry this guilt all my life and sitting on that throne miserable would remind me of it everyday. I watched as Barbara hurried down the steps towards me and I let out a sigh. I knew Ba

Elisabeth Two weeks later "Hey babe." Ben kissed the back of my exposed neck making me jump before he settled in the seat next to me. I turned to glare at him then angrily shoved him making him almost fall off his stool but the stupid idiot was quick to hold on to the bar counter. "Fuck off Ben." I growled. "What do you want?". "You've not seen me for a month and you didn't bother asking of me." He feigned a wounded expression. "Ouch." I rolled my eyes heavenward. "I was in seventh heaven when I heard that you'd traveled out of town on a business trip. Did you bang more white ladies over there?". I sneered. "Not that I care." "You do care." He grinned happily. "You're so jealous El." "In your nightmares Owens." I hissed, picked up my glass and tossed back my drink then slammed the glass down. "Hit me." I said to the bartender. "Are you trying to get drunk?". Ben asked. "No shit Sherlock." I drawled. "What was your first clue?". "For your peace of mind, I didn't sleep with a
Someone Like You Chapter Twenty Seven
LeonI dreaded talking to dad but he'd told Liese to tell me to call him if I'd made my decision about who I'd make my Queen. I dreaded this conversation more than the one I'd have with Beth in a few days. I knew how to handle Beth's anger and hatred towards me. I could manipulate her into agreeing to marry me in spite of her hatred for me.I'd caught her checking me out more than once, not because she was attracted to me but because she knew a gorgeous man when she saw one and I'd use that to my advantage as well. I picked up my phone with shaky hands, dialed Liese's number, clicked on the call button then put the phone to my ear. I didn't have to wait long as the call connected and Liese's cheerful voice greeted me."Hello Your Majesty." She chuckled.I rolled my eyes. "Very funny Liese. You know I'd rather be anywhere else but here." I told her in a gravelled voice."I'm sorry." She apologized in a contrite voice. She was one of the people - maybe the only person who knew how much

ElisabethThree days laterI waited for Jules in the parking lot of the city mall hoping she'd be early so we can get front row seats in the theater. It was Cinema Friday which meant that we'd watch all the movies showing all through the day before going back home with pizza for dinner from our favourite pizza place.I scrolled through my Instagram watching videos when I felt a presence beside me which caused the hair on the nape of my neck to stand at attention. It wasn't a Bennett Owens type of presence but someone much more powerful and when I chanced a glance at the person, my heart somersaulted in my chest."Jesus Christ." I placed my hand on my chest as I took a step back. "You don't just sneak up on people that way.""Hey duchess." He shot me his annoying smirk."Hey stronzo." I greeted back with a cheeky smile. "When did you crawl out of your hole?"."Yesterday." He replied. "Whatcha doing?"."Waiting." I drawled."For what?"."Who. My friend Jules." I replied. "Why do you car

LeonTwo days later"So just like that, I won't be seeing you around anymore?". Hussein asked."We can still talk on Skype. It's not like I'm leaving the world." I chuckled."Yeah but it won't be the same as you dropping in for a visit." He mumbled. "Anyway, congratulations once again.""Thanks." I said."So, who's the wife?". Hussein grinned."Just a... Her name is Elisabeth. I can hardly stand her but I think she'll make the perfect candidate." I said."So no intimacy and stuff? You won't ever have children?". Hussein arched a brow. "I don't think your family will let you get away with that.""It's not a prerequisite. As long as I'm married before being crowned that's all they want." I said. "That's all I'll make them want once I'm King."I wouldn't let them badger me into having kids. That was where I would draw the line. I'd wanted kids once upon a time with 'her' but not with Elisabeth or any other woman. I didn't want that kind of deep connection.Hussein laughed and nodded. "Ok
Someone Like You Chapter Thirty
ElisabethI stared at the 20 carat heart shaped diamond ring on my left finger still not quite believing that I was engaged to the man I hate the most. A man who annoyed me like no other. A man who brought out the worst in me and made me a raving bitch.I really hated him."You don't like it?". He asked me as we walked out of the store. "You chose it."I glared at him from the corner of my eye but didn't say anything as I dropped my hand to my side. I was doing this because of my mother. She was ecstatic that a man like Leonidas Sebastiani wanted me as his wife and she didn't care if he didn't love me. All she cared about was being seen as the mother in law to one of the wealthiest men in the world and a King.I started as a blinding light flashed in front of our faces and I raised my hand to cover my face as the paparazzi started firing questions at us asking us how long we'd been dating and shit. I wanted to cry because I'd not wanted this to happen."Let's go." He grabbed my hand a
