Leon From my position in the VVIP lounge upstairs, I could see Elisabeth talking to a man or more like she was laying into him and giving him the third degree. She didn't look happy so I guessed he was someone that had hurt her but it was none of my business. My only business was Delirium. I'd come to see for myself just how well it was going and so far I was really impressed with the result. I couldn't wait to tell Liese the good news. She and Collins were the only ones who knew I was going to open a nightclub but I'd put the business in Collins's name just in case dad found out about it. Not that he'd do anything about it, I just didn't want him to think I was planting my feet here in the city even though I was. I looked around the lounge and sighed. My life was like a bus with no actual destination and it was messing with my head. I used to be levelheaded, happy despite the shitty things my brother did to me but now... I couldn't say who Leonidas Alexandros Sebastiani was anymor

LeonMy father once told me many years ago that I was evil and I'd believed him. I thought I could change for the better because of her but then I realized it was no fun being good all the time so I'd retained just a tiny bit of myself which had that evil streak in him.I knew I shouldn't have goaded Elisabeth like that but she'd looked so... cute and small in her oversized shirt and black jeans that I couldn't not tease her. I'd had fun teasing her and watching her react to it without being able to do anything about it and once I latched onto something I liked doing, nothing in this world could stop me from doing that thing so I hoped for her sake that I'd get bored real soon and stop or else I would have her running for the hills before the month would end.I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed that the smile I'd been wearing after I left her standing there in that aisle was still quite plastered on my face and I frowned. There was nothing to smile about. I'd teased her, laughe

Elisabeth I shook my head to clear my thoughts and I glared at my ex fiance. He didn't have any right to come here and breathe rubbish in my direction. I was done and dusted with him and I needed him to know and see that, maybe then he'd leave me alone. "You're so full of yourself you know that?". I sneered. "Do you really think so little of me? You'd say something to remind me of a day I'd forever like to be wiped from my memory and I'd fall back into your arms?". "I think very highly of you El. You're so high on a pedestal that I think if you were to look down, you'd get dizzy and fall off." He said. I laughed without mirth. "Funny. I did that on the day you decided it was fine to ruin my life. I wasted seven years of my life loving an animal like you Ben." I spat acidly. "Common sense should tell you to stay the fuck away from me but you have obviously lost the screws to your brain so your cells are floating around in your head without any purpose." The bastard did nothing els

Elisabeth"There I finally said it. Hopefully he'd give me my job back." I thought.I didn't like the fact that I was at his mercy but I was ready to make a compromise just so that we would be able to work together in peace and not in war."And you don't like it." He said, reading my mind just by looking at my face."No." I said."There won't be a third chance Miss Stevenson." He warned me. "Of course." I nodded.He huffed and opened the file in front of him, effectively dismissing me but I didn't leave because I didn't want to misunderstand what he said."I'll have Barbara add you back on the payroll and register later today." He didn't look up at me. "I believe you have a class right about now." He checked his wristwatch."Thank you." I muttered then turned and left his office quietly. I let out the breath I didn't know I'd been holding in as I sagged against the door in relief.I didnt want to stay at home doing nothing and I didn't want to give my father any reason to coerce me i

LeonidasI used to dream of the day my brother would come back to his senses and want to be friends again. I'd wanted that years ago but at this moment, I wasn't so sure anymore.He'd been the one holding himself back from seeing how much we loved him, had hurt me and everyone around him with his words and actions but I'd still waited until I lost her and I didn't even have hope for myself anymore, not to talk of him. Seeing him now on his knees right in front of me should make me happy but I felt nothing. I didn't think I'd feel anything if he cried tears of blood and anyone who wanted to judge me for being so cold hearted should first go through what I went through then decide if I was still to be judged or not."I can forgive everyone else but not you Jax." I told him. "I can never forget everything you did to me. You were supposed to be my brother. You were supposed to be more supportive of my choices but instead you made my life miserable and as if it was not enough... you made
