Leon "Please Your Majesty, tamper justice with mercy." Christian's mother pleaded. "My son is a very good boy. He just allowed the devil to use him in that moment." I stared down at the woman who'd waylaid me immediately I alighted from the car. Beth had decided to stay home with Georgina so I came alone with Elijah. I hated two kinds of parents: the ones who refused to acknowledge the fact that apart from the children they had and raised, they had another one or two outside their marriage and the other set of parents were those who acknowledged that they had fathered a child outside of their marriage but hated that same child and this was the case with Elijah's father. "I told you not to come to me unless I summon you." I growled at the woman. "Did I summon you?" "No Your Majesty." She answered. "So, why are you here?" I demanded. "I just came to..." "Do you know that boy?" I pointed at Elijah who was talking to Michael. "Y... Yes Your Majesty, he's my husband's first son." Sh

Leon"No! No! No! This can't be happening!" I slammed my fist on the table after reading the news article on my phone. There had been a fire outbreak at the Federal Prison for Women and seventeen inmates had escaped. Their names were listed but I could only read one and it made my blood boil.Darlene Edwards!I never thought I'd hear that name in this life again but here it was, staring at me in the face and taunting me. She was free and I didn't like it one bit.The door opened and Beth walked in with a frown on her face. She looked me over and sighed."Work problems?""I wish." I growled. "It's just something I saw on the news.""The stock market?""No Beth." I sighed. "It's nothing that concerns you." I was irritated but I didn't want to vent my irritation on her when it was no fault of hers. I just wished there was something I could do to help the police capture those escaped inmates and even if not all of them but Darlene Edwards had to be behind bars."Whatever problem you have

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

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

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
