Andrei's POV
You know you're in deep deep trouble when your mother calls you by your full name including the one you didn't know your dear grandfather might have given you but your parents purposely left it out of your birth certificate because they didn't like it - immediately you pick her call. She doesn't even give you the chance to sneak a greeting in, she just goes down to business.
That's exactly how I feel right now as I listen to my mother rave and rant on the phone practically making me deaf but I'm too traumatized by her words to put the phone away.
"Mom..." I begin, hoping she'd let me get a word in.
"I'm not done yet." Bianca snaps. "I know you can't watch them every single second of the day but you need to try harder Andrei. What if Jax had missed and plunged that knife into Leon's heart instead? We'd be planning a funeral right now!".
"You're blowing this out of
Leon's POVAnger...It's a feeling I almost always try to avoid taking over me because I end up over doing things. It's just as my grandma said; I rarely ever get angry but when I do... I wreck havoc and it's exactly what I have done.I have broken my mother's heart, sent my brother to the hospital like he did me and upset my father. The peace in our family is long gone because of me and there's nothing I can do to change it except leave. If I'm being honest with myself... ever since I arrived in Mercia, I have been feeling out of place. Like I don't belong here and it took my brother almost taking my life for me to realize that. I cannot do this to myself anymore.With that thought in my mind, I head to my closet, grab my suitcase from the bottom shelf and open it then I begin to yank my clothes from the hangers and dumping them into the bag haphazardly. I don't need much clothes so I don't pack all of them.
An ear piercing scream filled the air causing the maids working in the kitchen to wonder if the apocalypse was here. After what went down between the Crown Prince and his brother though, they weren't really that concerned about the scream but they hoped whoever it was that screamed bloody murder was alright.Leon barged into Andres's room and stopped short when he saw his baby brother cowering in fear on his bed while Ina tried to placate him. Liese rushed in as well and was surprised by the scene in front of her."Are you okay Andres?". Leon asked.Andres bolted out of bed and rushed to hug Leon shaking like a chick that had been left in the rain for so long, not knowing where its mother was."Andres?". Liese frowned at her brother. "What is it?"."She's bringing the devil into our home." His voice shook.Leon and Liese stared at each other in confusio
Considering the event that unfolded yesterday, the kids were hesitant to join their parents for breakfast but Leon made the first move and the rest of them followed suit."Good morning mom, dad." Leon greeted and settled down on the seat next to Andrei."Morning mom, morning dad." The remaining three greeted."Good morning." Andrei said. "How was your night?"."I had a nightmare." Andres piped up."About what?". Andrei asked."Darlene.""Not again Andres." Ina snapped.The rest of them turned to look at Anna hoping to get a reaction from her but she didn't even spit. It was like she was in a world of her own."Mom." Leon called."Hmm?". She looked up from her food. "Oh! Good morning." She said. "How was your night?"."Are you okay mom?". Liese asked lookin
Three days laterAndres"The witch from the deepest part of hell is here." Is all I can think of as I watch my sister who is supposed to value my feelings over hers hug her friend.I've always known Ina values what she thinks, her feelings over everyone else's in this family and her recent disregard of dad just shows how far she'd go to get whatever she wants.My skin crawls as Cruella's laughter carries over right to where I am standing on the balcony looking down at them and I shiver then freeze as she suddenly lifts her head as if knowing someone is watching her and her eyes connects with mine and a second later, her evil lips curls up in a smile."Andres! Is that you?". She calls out.I practically turn and run back into the house and head straight to my room hoping to lock myself in and never come out until she leaves but I collide with someone and
Leon"What are you doing?". I ask Joni as she stays hunched on her bed scribbling something down in a notebook. Something she obviously doesn't want me to see."I'm writing." She says."What are you writing?". I inquire."Something.""Are you really going to make me keep asking before you spill the beans?". I arch a brow.She asked me to sit down on the only single chair in her room and that's where I've been for the past seven hours. I should be heading home since it's almost time for dinner but I don't feel like leaving and dad, thankfully hasn't called me yet."Yes." She mutters. "It's something you've been bugging me to tell you.""Oh? For your birthday?". I perk up at that."Not really. Just something I've been wanting to do all my life." She shrugs. "There's plenty of them."
Darlene saw two boys - two insanely gorgeous boys step out of their rooms as she walked out of hers and her eyes was immediately fixated on the older one who was busy typing something with lightening speed on his phone. He was dressed in a sky blue suit, white shirt and red tie and his dress shoes or more like boots were definitely Christian Louboutin.She'd always ever had eyes for the older Sebastiani sibling, ever since they were introduced years ago but he'd not liked her and he'd made it known that first meeting that he didn't like her. It'd hurt her of course but that had not stopped her from trying to get close to him and just like before, she found herself gravitating towards him until she stood directly in front of him."Good morning Leon." She greeted."Morning." He walked past her and headed towards the stairs without even looking up at her.She couldn't stop herself from gawking at his de
Joni "This is none of your business sir." I can feel the anger radiating from Leon's tense figure. Everyone knows he hates teachers invading his privacy but some know it all still like to poke their noses into his business. "This is not the first time this is happening Your Highness." Mr Zorai tells him. "Every time I walk into this class, both of you are always leaning towards each other discussing God knows what. I'm not the only teacher that has noticed this either as well." "Good for y'all then." Leon's voice drips with sarcasm. "Just get on with your lesson and leave us alone." "And have this continue? I always like my students staying super focused on me when I'm teaching Your Highness so how about I help you out by daring you to kiss Miss Samuels?". He said. "That way, we'll all be able to breathe freely and not get suffocated by the sexual tension surrounding both of you like a thic
Leon My father once joked about me being evil and I accepted that fact because it was true. Not everyone is good and holy like Jesus Christ and even though we try our damnedest to be like him, there will always be that streak of evil in us. I've always wondered who my first kiss would be - though Darlene had taken that choice from me when she stole a kiss from me all those years ago but she doesn't count so this is my first. Like I said, I'm evil and I know it which is why I'm kissing Jonina Samuels as punishment for breaking my heart yet again. Although this is no longer a punishment but a dream of mine that is now being fulfilled. I might have taken Joni by surprise but it didn't take long for her to respond to me when I squeezed her hip causing her to gasp and I plundered her mouth like she was my sustenance and I was starving. This feels good. Too good to come up
