Raymond barged into Joni's room when he heard her scream, looked around the room then at her wondering what was wrong until he saw the open box and walked over to it."Why did you scream like that?". He questioned."Head." She stepped back."Whose head?". He was confused. "Someone sent you a head? That's new. Who did you offend again this time?"."Why are you here? If it's to laugh at me then I suggest you leave." She ordered in a shaky voice."Okay." He lifted his hands. "Sorry." He turned and walked out of the room.Joni grabbed her phone from her table then quickly clicked on Leon's number to call him then put the phone to her ear."Hey, I'm at your house." Leon said. "Just walking in now.""Someone sent me my head." She blurted out."Hold that thought." He hung up.Two minutes later he walked into her room and she rushed to hug him. He held her for a few minutes before she pulled back and pointed to the box."There." She mumbled.Leon walked over to the box, looked inside of it an
Two days laterLeon and Joni walked into the school building holding hands which didn't surprise their school mates anymore so they weren't stared at for too long.Some girls were still jealous that someone like Joni had snagged the crown prince for herself but they also accepted the fact that;some win and others lose."So what movie are we watching today?". Joni asked him."Fifty shades of grey." Leon replied. "The very first movie I watched.""I can't wait." She said as she input her combination and opened her locker then she shrieked. "Jesus Christ!". Leon exclaimed when he saw the dead headless animal hanging in her locker. "What the hell?!"."Oh my gosh!". Liese cried from behind them. "Who could've done this?".Leon said nothing and stormed off. He was going to get to the root of this matter once and for all and God help whoever it was behind the pranks.He barged into the security office without knocking causing the two guards inside to jump in fear. He looked at the screens i
JoniThe sunlight streaming into the room wakes me up but I don't open my eyes because I feel very much at ease snuggled up against Leon's body heat. I never would have thought that a day like this would come that I'd feel safe sleeping beside a boy. Not just any boy but a prince and not just any prince but Leonidas Sebastiani.That name makes me shiver and it's a good one and I'm so damn glad that my brain and heart finally came to an agreement to give him a chance. Everybody deserves a second chance but... some people don't.I turn my head to stare at Leon and a small smile creeps on my face. He's so damn gorgeous that I have to pinch myself practically every time to see if I'm dreaming or not because I still can't, for the life of me understand why he's so obsessed with me.I'm not pretty or attractive or even close to being beautiful but he sees me as the most beautiful girl in the world so who am I to complain?.I lift my hand and slowly trace his face with the tip of my pointer
LeonDad didn't understand why Joni was hiding in my closet or why she passed out but I know. She must have heard what I said, the words I mentioned and that caused her to panic and pass out.Now we're at the hospital standing outside the emergency room waiting for the doctor to come out with news about her and I hope that she's okay."Want to tell me again why she was hiding in your closet?". Dad asks me again."She spent the night." I say succinctly."Oh." His mouth forms an o and a look I know too well crosses his face."Nothing happened." I quickly tell him."I trust you." Dad smiles."I'm happy that you have this notion of me being a very good boy who wouldn't sleep with a girl until after marriage." I state dryly.Dad smirks knowingly. "I know.""You know what?". I huff."I know that you're the kind of boy who'd wait until after marriage to sleep with a girl." He replies confidently. I frown at him not liking the fact that he knows me so well but he only laughs and ruffles my h
JoniA week. It's been a week since I talked to Leon on phone or saw him. It's been a week since the shocking news about him throwing his brother down the stairs.Thankfully the asshat didn't die but he's in a coma and no one knows if he's going to come out of it. Unfortunately, I heard from Leon's sister Liese that their father got very mad at him and slapped him then had him locked up in his room after seizing his phone and every means of communication.According to Liese, Leon is the golden child. The apple of their parents eyes and he could do no wrong until he angrily threw Jax over the railing. I'm still very shocked by that because although I know Leon's anger is out of this world but I didn't expect that he'd go to the extent of... doing that and I feel very guilty because I know he did that for me."So... How's um... prince Jax?". I ask Liese during lunch. The two of us had gotten close over the course of the week because of Leon and I'm very happy that at least another memb
Leon I sit on the edge of my bed staring at nothing in particular and thinking about my life when a knock sounds on my door. It's brief and sharp then I hear Jared's voice asking me if he can come in and I scoff. I don't answer but the door is unlocked and opened and Jared walks in, bows and proceeds to tell me that my father has requested my presence in the throne room. "In a minute." I mutter. "I'm sorry Your Highness but you don't have a minute." Jared informs me. I rise to my feet, skirt my bed and head out of my room without another word. I see Liese coming upstairs and she halts as I almost get to her but I don't stop walking or acknowledge her. Jared and I get to the throne room and we're let into the room where I meet my parents and grandma talking but they stop when they see us. "Thank you Jared." Dad waves him away and Jared leaves. "Sit Leon." He says. I prefer to stand and I tell him that. He's surprised but he doesn't fight me on it which I'm grateful for. "Very
JoniLiese didn't have any good news for me. No letter from Leon or even a single word and it hurt me that he didn't even think to reply to my letter.I didn't make an exaggerated confession but it was the best anyone has gotten from me in a long time and Leonidas Sebastiani took it for granted. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions because the boy has a way of doing things that no man understands but still it hurt and I'll definitely tell him that once I set my eyes on him and just to punish him, I'll make him earn the next confessions that will ever come out of my mouth again.Jaxon AKA asshat is still asleep and it makes me scared to think of Leonidas's departure from Mercia if he doesn't make it. But I think the stupid boy is only trying to give his parents heartache for all the ones he'd supposedly suffered because of their excess love towards Leon.Bullshit.If it were up to me, I'd march down to that hospital and force him to wake up. I'd probably beat him to consciousness the
Leon This is the beginning of my end. I have made a far worse enemy than my father has in all his years of being King and it's one that is family. Familial enemies are the worst. I'm not scared for my life because I've endured far worse than anyone can ever imagine but what I won't accept is anyone touching a hair on Jonina's head. I'm a raving monster when it comes to her and I'd dismember anyone who even thinks it's okay to hurt her which is why I did what I did to my brother Jax. He'd made her scared and uncomfortable. He'd threatened her and I know he'd have gone ahead with his threats if I'd not stopped him but thankfully, for my mother's sake he didn't die. Everything I do boils down to the fact that I don't want to see my mom in tears crying over the death of a child or else I'd had the chance to end Jaxon the second time I'd taken a hold of that gun and I'd have taken that chance if not for Mom. We'd be one happy family if Jax isn't hell bent on bringing us down and mak
