Ben"What the hell am I doing here again?". I asked myself as I sat in my car a few distance from Beth's new gargantuan house. I really shouldn't be here but I wanted to see her face again since she'd stopped taking my calls. I still couldn't believe that she'd married that idiot and she was Queen of a backward Kingdom now but funny enough the backward Kingdom as I'd thought it to be was more like a little city and it was beautiful.I watched as a giant with a scary looking face approached my car and I swallowed as I unfastened my seatbelt and alighted from the car then shut the door."Who are you?". The man's voice was a deep baritone and I thought that if he shouted, I think it could cause a mini earthquake."My name is Benjamin Owens. I'm here to see your Queen." I said."Family member?". He asked."I'm her cousin." I lied through my teeth. I didn't think he'd let me in if I said I was her ex boyfriend. He'd probably kick my ass across the Kingdom as a way of saying goodbye.The ma

Raymond"He's coming." I thought excitedly. "I'd finally get my revenge. After so many freaking years of waiting. I'd make mom and dad proud of me." I knew in my mind that Leonidas Sebastiani wouldn't make it easy for me to kill him. Most likely he'd come with guards and police men but he wasn't the type of person to back down from a challenge. He'd want to show that he had power over me but I'd show him that I was no longer that seventeen year old boy who'd been scared of him."Why do you want to hurt my dad?". Georgina's voice sounded from the corner of the room. I'd searched far and wide for a place that was abandoned and that was far from the town and I'd finally found it. It was a small shack on the outskirts of the town surrounded by trees. You wouldn't notice it was there if you didn't look well enough.I was standing by the small window watching out for his arrival. He was late and if I'd really wanted to hurt the girl just to spite him, I'd have done so."He's not your fath

Leon "Fuck Beth." I breathed. "What the hell was that? I can see my brain cells floating in the air right now." She laughed gaily. "That was a thank you for saving our baby girl and coming home unhurt." She stroked my jaw. "Except for the bruises on your face." "The idiot took me by surprise." I said. "You take my breath away each and every time. I go to heaven every fucking time too." "I'm glad you liked it." She beamed. "We aim to please Your Majesty." "That's about right." I smacked a kiss on her lips and got up from the sofa to put on my clothes but I stopped and turned to look at Beth. "Did I hear George's voice earlier?". Beth paled. "Oh no!". She covered her mouth. "She must have heard us." "Fuck." I muttered. "I need to soundproof this room and our bedroom." I quickly put on my clothes. I wondered what George had wanted to talk about and I hoped it wasn't permission to go out because for now... I couldn't let her out of my sight. "Yeah." She agreed. I helped Beth into

Leon It had been fourteen hours since I found out that I was going to be a father and I still hadn't wrapped that fact around in my head. You could be wondering why I was so out of it considering I had a daughter already but Georgina was different. I didn't raise her since she was a baby, I didn't see her first walk or hear her first words and I certainly wasn't there when her mother was pregnant with her but this... I would get to see Beth grow heavy with my child and then once he or she arrived, it'd be like handling precious cargo. Beth had immediately called her parents to tell them the news and her mother hadn't stopped calling since five am this morning. She hadn't been able to get hold of her best friend but she'd left her a message. I should let my family know about the baby but I wanted to keep the news to myself a little while longer. "Babe, the hospital called." Beth walked into my home office. "The test results are ready." "Do they want us to come?". I asked. "Yeah. T

LeonI don't know what prompted me to come here but I couldn't stand the talk about multiple babies anymore. It felt like everyone was now an expert on the subject all of a sudden and it irked me which was why I had chickened out and called Liese to tell her the news but karma had decided that tonight was going to be my downfall and sent Beth here to hear what I had to say - my truth - because I'd been lying to her."Beth! Wait!". I ran after her as she turned and fled. King's meadow was a vast forest and she didn't know her way back home. I didn't want her to get lost or worse injure herself in her haste to get away from me. "Beth!"."Stay away from me!". She screamed.I caught up with her just as she almost tripped over a stone in her path and I steadied both of us."Let go of me!". She struggled against me. "Let go!".I released her and she whirled around immediately and slapped me across the face shocking me. I heard the guard behind me and lifted my hand to stop him knowing what
