All Chapters of Identical Strangers: Once Upon An Empire : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Emotions were going wild at the Queen Empire after Xavier’s departure. Susan wouldn’t stop crying; her husband held her down at the couch and consoled her. He pulled her to his chest in a side-hug and let her rest her head on his shoulder.“I want my son back, please bring back my boy,” she cried subtly.Rebecca, unable to stand the scene anymore, gets up from the sofa and heads up to her room. She hated to feel these stupid emotions, she had finally succeeded in becoming this cold young lady who didn’t give a fuck about anything or anyone but Xavier had changed everything. She felt her eyes getting teary and so she escaped to her room to avoid the others seeing her like that.“Promise me, James… promise me that you will bring our son back,” Susan pleaded amidst tears.Mr. Queen sighed and patted her head. “I will, my love. Believe me, I won't let the Kingstons get away with this, whoever they think they might be… they are going to pay for this, they won't walk away with these atrocit

It wasn’t flowers and hearts in the Kingston mansion that very night. They were all silent as they arrived at their family house in Boulder city, Nevada. Anna wouldn’t even look in the direction of her husband. He offered her his hand to help her get down from the car but she ignored him and jumped down on her own, she then took Xavier’s hand and they both walked in together to the building.Mr. Kingston sighed as he watched them go in, he felt bad for everything that had happened tonight but he had no regrets. It was high time the truth was revealed. He had made a mistake in the past, one that he also didn’t regret because Xavier has turned out to be a blessing to him and his family.It was at his moment of weakness and he did what he felt was right to be done. The other woman had two children and according to the nurse, they were a middle class family. He had made himself feel better by believing that he was relieving them of having to train two children in their condition, even tho

It was morning already, Xavier came down to his parent’s floor and walked into the sitting room. There was so much tension as the couple paced around with fear in their eyes. They were worried about their son and who wouldn’t be?There are mixed feelings about the case as none of them had been able to reach Leonard. His number wasn’t connecting and he wasn’t replying to any of their texts. Among the emotions they felt was guilt; for not making him feel that they loved him enough, for the secrets that some of them had kept, and then Xavier felt guilty because it was all about him.This couple were about to lose their only biological child because of him that they loved like one even though they didn’t give birth to him. He felt guilty for the misfortune that had befallen them.Even the servants were worried because they weren’t supposed to let him leave on his own, he had been assigned a driver since he was eighteen and so the driver was supposed to accompany him. Leo had left with one

Xavier turned around slowly to face them, Aria rushed to him and placed her palm against his chest, and then looked into his eyes. Xavier felt goose pimples all over his skin, even though he was in a suit.“Xavier,” she called softly and her eyelashes flickered, “Please don’t go down this path, you will hurt yourself in the process. If you do this, you wont ever forgive yourself, believe me when I say that.” She whispered.Xavier stared at her silently for a minute and then he took a deep breath in and exhaled. “I know that, Aria… I know the implications of what I am doing, but that is how far I can go for the Kingstons. They are my whole world, I would never be an ingrate and put myself first. I understand the pain your in-laws are going through now, but that doesn’t mean they should do what they are doing. Locking up Mr. Kingston wouldn’t change anything for them, it wouldn’t take away that pain and give them relief.”“Xavier,” she whispered softly without breaking eye contact, a pl

Aria sat in her room looking moody as she stared at the shirt in her hand; it was one of the shirts Xavier had bought while he was with them. She had taken it from his new room a few minutes ago when she had gone to clean it out.Well, a few hours ago when the family returned with the news, it was obvious that he wouldn’t be coming back to that house. So she thought it was time she emptied the room on the third floor that had been given to him after Jimmy sent them out.Speaking of that, she still hadn’t moved back in with her fiancé, he barely even looked in her direction these days, let alone talk to her, but none of that bothered Aria at the moment, she was more concerned about Xavier and how his absence would affect the whole family.Susan was depressed by her own son rejecting her, she blamed herself just like her husband. Jimmy, even though getting what he wanted wasn’t still happy, he knew that his parents would choose Xavier over him if the opportunity should present itself. O
