1.“Leon! Leon! Where has that stupid boy gone off to?!” Victoria Xavier's angry voice rings through the house. Leon is sitting against the side of the bathtub, he sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. He is just catching his breath after cleaning the bathroom, but his cold-hearted mother-in-law has found him. “Leon?! How dare you ignore me when I called?!”He stands up to walk to the door, but she opens it before he can, and she smacks the door in his face. Her furious eyes almost burn a hole through his skull. “Oh, there you are, you sick son of a bitch! You have hidden in the bathroom and allowed me to yell around like a fool?!” Leon smiles sadly. “Oh no, mother, I won't do something like that to you, I was just washing the toilet–” “Washing?!” She runs her hand over the side of the bathroom, and her finger comes back clean. He indeed cleaned it as vigorously as he could, but this is not good enough for the old witch! “Look!!” She shoves her index finger in his f

“I'm sorry to ask, mother, but is all well?” He asks as meekly as possible. “Yes, yes,” she waves off, trying to hide her excitement. She is about to speak, but she suddenly stops herself and frowns. “How is that any of your concern, Leon? Just mind your business and take care of my daughter tomorrow! I forbid you to be outside of this room tomorrow! Else, your mother will have to die when I cut her medical allowance!” Leon heaves under his breath. He doesn't know why his mother-in-law is being very defensive, he would have loved to give Damien Shankly a piece of his mind for abandoning a sick Selina Xavier, but his mother in-law obviously doesn't want him there. Loen is not too bothered by her strange order, it's her house and rules after all, but he has something very important…“Please, Mrs Xavier.” He holds his hands together in plea. “I will obey your order, but I should leave very early in the morning and go to see my mother. She needs help to go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Leon is very relieved. His mother has just received her medication that will serve her a few more days. She is stable now, so he can take her back home. In the taxi, he expected that his mother would be cheerful, but she is looking out of the window with a gloom around her face. “Mum, I know that your health is not at its best, but cheer up. You have survived another day.” Mrs Beverly Smith sighs. “Mrs Xavier didn't send the cheque to the hospital.” Leon's heart skips several beats. Did Veronica cut off the support for his mother? He doesn't want to be worried in front of his mother, so he just laughs. “Oh, don't even worry about it. She was probably busy, so she will soon send it. I have been working hard for the Xavier family, they won't betray me like that.” *****Returning to the house, he jumps over the fence and sneaks back into the room. He has to quickly bathe and give Selina her drugs, before his mother-in-law finds out that he sneaked out to help his mother. “Hello,

“How dare you?! You are a filthy and useless man! You can never be my husband!” She screams at him. “There is only one man in this world for me, and that's Damien Shankly!” “Damien?” Leon runs his hand over his face. “The same man that abandoned you after the accident?” Victoria sighs as she steps forward. “Okay, Leon, enough of this madness. My daughter is awake now, and I consider our contract to be void, after all, you disobeyed me. Pack your things and leave now!” Leon holds his hand over his chest, this is a betrayal that he will never recover from! He has been used for three years by the Xavier family! Selina folds her hands. “My lawyer will bring the divorce papers very soon, and you will sign them.” “You are throwing me out like a dog, Selina! That's unfair, I gave you my all for three years!” Leon cries out as he steps forward. Victoria scoffs. “And so what, Leon? We allowed you to marry into our family, is that not gracious enough?” “What has Damien done that I haven'

3. Leon's hands tremble with anger and humiliation. His nose hasn't stopped bleeding, he is in a very sorry state. Selina and her mother don't care for him, she laughs and points at him. “Look at this loser! You thought that I would love you happily once I woke up?” Victoria huffs. “You thought that you had successfully latched your fangs into my family? You are greatly mistaken.” The door opens, and one of the servants comes in with a file in her hand. Leon doesn't need a soothsayer to tell him what it is. The divorce papers. Selina thrusts it forward in his face. “Here, sign it before I change my mind and send you to jail!” “Hurry, poor boy! People shouldn't even know that my daughter was once married to a loser!” Leon sniffles and crunches his nose. His mother will be dead in a week if he can't come up with the money for her drugs, but he quickly takes up the pen and signs the divorce papers. Yes, even Selina and her mother are shocked to see him act so quickly, but they a

“Don't worry, I have already signed the divorce papers.” Leon says to him. “Good!” Damien chuckles. “And I don't want you to ever come back here to beg for my wife's love!” This last statement angers Leon because how can this man call Selina his wife when it was Leon that nursed and took care of her for three years?!“Your wife?!” Leon throws his bag down. “Are you dead ass right now?! I was the one who nursed her back to this state for three years, while you ran away like a fucking coward!” Damien smirks and pushes his hair away from his face. “Well, it's not your sister that made the miracle drug that has given her back her consciousness for the first time in three years.” He tells him. “Don't ever compare me to your useless self, you stupid boy.” “Fuck you.” Leon yells at him. “You are never going to be a real man! You will never be Selina's true husband!” Leon is so upset that he couldn't stop himself. Running his mouth makes Damien boil with rage, and this makes him give Le

4. This has got to be the most humiliating day of his life. He watches all the servants stare at him with pity. He is still shaking, because he has not eaten anything for more than a few days, and he just got the beating of his life. He is holding his hand over his stomach, as he looks at his precious pendant in Damien's hand. Why isn't he giving it back? Selina smirks by the side. “This is your apology? I don't think that it came from your heart. You will kneel right where you are for the next five hours, and that's the only way you will be forgiven.”Leon heaves as he looks from one person to the other. Finally, he looks up to the grey sky. “But it's about to rain any moment from now. I am going to get sick from the cold.” Selina looks at him from his head to his toes. “And what has that got to do with me? Get down on your knees, or you will regret disobeying me.” With that, she gives Damien another kiss and seductively walks away. “I'm just going to take a shower, babe. You

Damien laughs as he kisses her forehead. She is so tough, and he loves her for it. “Don't worry, we will punish Leon Smith soon. We can even throw him into jail, but right now, we have some catching up to do.” She catches the cue. She tosses her phone away, and they both crash against the bed. They are making out heavily, but suddenly, Selina seems to be losing interest. Damien notices this, so he stops for a second. “What's the problem now, my love?” “I can't go back to being unconscious.” She sighs. “I need that drug everyday. How can I get it every day when it's not even out in the market? It's not for sale!” Damien laughs. “Come on, Selina. I'm the heir of the Shankly empire, my sisters won't say no to me. I can get a million of those from my sister, Helen, you don't have to worry.” Her worried face breaks into a smile. She snakes her hands around him. “That's why I love you so much. I've missed you!” ****Leon can barely see, because Damien hit him severally in his eyes.

Helen Shankly is pacing around the room. Leon has been treated and stabilized. Tests have been run, and she is waiting for the results. She takes out a picture of the twins, and holds it next to Leon's face. They look like siblings, sharing a number of features, even though he is oddly lean for a man his age. She swipes to a picture of her, and all she gets is assurance that this is her brother. The last confirmation for her is getting a picture of her father and when she places it next to his face, her heart stops for a second. This man is her father's twin. She holds her hand over her mouth as she steps away. Her eyes swell with tears, she can't believe this! She takes a picture of the star birthmark on his arm, before she leaves the room. She immediately puts a call through to both of her sisters at the same time.They live abroad , and can't come down, but thankfully, they are all so close that they pick the call immediately. “Hello, big sister.” Doreen yawns. “What's up,

She shifts in her chair, as she prepares her approach. “Mister, can I ask you a question. This mark on your hand, is it a real birthmark or a tattoo?” Leon looks at the star birthmark on his right hand. He used to be fascinated by it, but he never gave it too much of a thought. He smirks as he runs the fingers of his other hand over it. “It's a birthmark. I can't afford a tattoo.” Helen's heart skips a couple of beats, but she maintains her calm with a smile. “I'm going to ask you a question, now. Do you remember your life when you were a toddler?” He shakes his head. “I'm adopted. My parents found me, and took care of a poor orphan like me."“An orphan?” She pulls her eyebrows up. “Yes, ma'am.” Helen breathes in deeply. “Do you know even the slightest details from your life before adoption?” Leon stops to think for a while. “Well, I think I have three sisters, but I am not sure.” Helen's lips quiver with anxiety. “And what's your name, please? Please tell me the truth.”“
