“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 face. “Is this clean enough?” “But, mother, I cleaned it for an hour–” “The Xavier family allowed you, a nonentity, to marry our precious daughter, and this is how you repay us?!” Leon sighs. Is there any day that she doesn't bring up this humiliating fact? “You think the toilet is clean enough?!” She smirks as she empties the small container that holds the toothbrushes, and she uses it as a cup to take some water directly from the toilet bowl! “Take this, this will be your nutritious drink for your lunch! I'm sure it will be clean enough since you seem to be convinced that you cleaned it so well.” Leon’s jaw is on the ground, he cannot believe this. The Xavier family has been horrible to him, but this is a new low, even for his mother-in-law. “Take it from my hand, or I deal with you mercilessly!” She berates. He takes it from her, and even bows in appreciation. He feels his eyes stings with tears, but he has to be a man and remain strong. Victoria gives Leon a nasty look from his head to his toes, and then she glances at her wrist watch with a heavy sigh. “It's time to give Selina her drugs now, make yourself useful.” “Yes, mother.” He nods. “You haven't cut her nails in weeks, do you even know why you have been allowed to marry my precious daughter?” Leon bows very deeply again. “I will trim her nails, ma'am.” “Good.” She huffs. “The nutritious toilet water will be your lunch and dinner. That's what you get for being a lazy and ungrateful son-in-law!” He stands by the door of the bathroom and watches her strut to the exit. Once she leaves, he heaves and turns the dirty water away, then washes his hands. Once he is done, he returns to the door and his eyes fall on Selina, his beautiful but comatosed wife…. Leon Smith met the Xavier family years ago because his adoptive parents worked for them. Years before they adopted the poor orphan, Leon. His father was a driver, and his mother was their chef. After almost five years of trying to get pregnant, they found Leon and adopted him to be their only child and beloved son. He grew up very poor, and barely had enough to go by the day, but he was a very happy child from a happy family. He's very grateful for the life his adoptive parents gave him. All that changed when his adoptive father died seven years ago. It broke his adoptive mother beyond repair, and the Xavier family never gave her more than a week off to bury him. She had to return to work immediately, or she would lose her job. His grieving mother never healed but she went back to work. Three years ago, she suffered a terrible stroke that almost took her life, but fortunately, she survived it. She might still be alive, but permanently disabled, and can't work anymore. Leon had no choice than to drop out of school, take care of his mother, and beg the Xavier family, on his knees, to give him a job, so that he can pay for his mother's hospital bills…. Surprisingly, the coldest family in the entire world agreed to give him a job. They led him into a secret room in the back of the house, where he was shocked to see their beautiful daughter, Selina Xavier, lying as still as a dead body, on the bed. “Our family has kept a secret for a month now. Selina got into a bad accident, and she has fallen into a terrible coma. You must marry her and become her caregiver…that's the only way to save our family from disgrace.” Leon didn't know the first thing about being a caregiver, but his mother needed medical care, else she would die, so he accepted one of the most humiliating jobs in the world…. Leon picks up the basket that holds all he needs to clean up his comatosed wife, and he walks over to the bed. “Hello, my wife, your husband is here to clean you up.” He smiles to himself. He gently pushes her hair away from her face, and he starts to clean her up. Even though her family treats him badly, he makes sure that he treats her body with the most respect… Even in her tragic state, Selina Xavier is still very beautiful. Every night, Leon goes on his knees and prays for a miracle – for God to restore beautiful Selina back to health. Being her husband at first was strange to him, but he has grown to love and cherish her. He believes that when she finally wakes up, she will appreciate everything that he has done for her…. Once he has cleaned her up and administered her drugs to her, he sits next to her, getting ready to read her a book. The door opens, and Victoria Xavier gets in again. He quickly stands up and clasps his hands behind him. She sees Selina all cleaned up, but she isn't grateful, she snorts. “I hope you don't ogle over my daughter's beautiful body when you change her clothes.” “Oh, no, mother.” Leon shakes his head. It's true that he has been married to this girl for three years now, but he has never done anything sexual with her body. She is beautiful and all, but he is not the kind of man to take advantage of a helpless girl… Victoria still goes over and examines her daughter. She still doesn't trust the driver's son, even after three years… “Well, Leon, I have to tell you that I just got off the phone with some really important person, and I must tell you that you have to remain in this room tomorrow because Damien Shankly is coming to visit.” Leon feels a constriction in his throat. Damien is Selina's ex boyfriend. He was nowhere to be found as soon as Selina had the terrible accident. How dare him show his face after three years of abandoning Selina?!Expand

Leon looks in the mirror and sighs because he realizes that he will have to change his tie for the third time. There is nothing wrong with the tie, or the others that he had put on before. It's just that he is very nervous to be attending this conference. It's not a small event, not to him. He will get to meet many doctors that he has looked up to. He is going to meet MJ's family, and so many others too. By the time he gets downstairs, Helen is waiting for him in a green dress. Her serious face breaks into a smile once she sees him. “Wow, you look so handsome, Leon. Here, I will take a quick picture for the twins!” Leon blushes as she puts her phone up and takes some pictures. It's nice that his sisters don't care that he is in his mid twenties. They are going to treat him with the fondness they've been saving for him. Even with that happiness, he feels a bad thought haunting him in his heart. “But Helen, I don't think that Damien wants me to be there.” He heaves. “And you

Leon freezes once he hears what his sister has just said. He is going to the Conference?! Damien laughs as he slowly lays down his spoon and wipes his mouth with a napkin. “Helen, please tell me that this is a joke,” he calmly requires. Helen sighs, she knows he won't take it likely. “Listen to me, Damien, for the first time in your entitled life, think! Leon has never attended before, why don't you allow him to go to this one?!” “Because it is my birthright, damn it!” He hits his hand on the table in anger, attracting the attention of the staff around. “Is it my fault that he was born into the family of nobodies? Why do I have to sacrifice things for him because he is your protege?!” Helen sees that he is like a pot boiling over, and she immediately wishes that she never said anything here in the first place. “Please, Damien. It's very important to me that Leon attend it.” She tries to reach for Damien's hand, but he shifts his hand away. “It's important to me that I attend

Helen peers at the screen of the iPad, totally flabbergasted by what she has seen. Leon takes the long look on her face to mean that he has somehow messed up her project. “Helen, did I get it wrong?” He asks with worry. “Oh, no, Leon.” She chuckles. “This is not wrong, this is brilliant. Wait here, I've got to make a phone call.” She rushes to her laboratory and immediately types on her computer, and before running the code. “It works,” she presses her hands over her face. “Oh my God!” She picks her phone and make a call. “Doctor Elle, I need you to drop everything you are doing and run this correction I am going to send to you. I think there is a way for us to run the drug without the endless list of side effects.” The person at the other end exhales. “Doctor Shankly, are you sure?” “Run it. It works on my end.” Helen sends it, and she smiles once she hears the gasp from the doctor. “This is a miracle, Helen! How were you able to break it? We haven't been able to sleep bec

Selina holds her breath, she has just given her halfbrother the biggest threat ever. This could go two ways. It's either he listens to her and allows them to be, or he will be even more angry, and throws them out. But Donald Xavier comes to her face and bends to meet her height. “Is this one of your jokes, Selina?” He snorts. “A joke?” She retorts. “Look at my engagement ring! Do you still think I am joking?” But Donald doesn't even glance at the huge rock on her finger. For all he knows, it might be a fake. “Get me a dinner meeting with your so called husband to be, and I will believe you.” Mrs Xavier shakes her head with eyes weakened from crying. “You won't believe us until it's too late.” “You have five days to get me dinner with the heir of the Shankly family, and then maybe I can strike a deal with you, dear sister.” He snaps his fingers, and his men immediately starts to walk to their cars.

Hearing MJ introduce herself as Leon's girlfriend makes Selina laugh in disbelief. She strongly believes that Leon is still in love with her, and won't move so quickly to another woman. She doesn't love Leon anymore, but she loves the idea of him begging for her to take him back till eternity….“Please, spare me the lies!” She hiss rudely. “Leon is not qualified enough to be with a girl like you!” MJ is immediately offended by this. “What's that supposed to mean? Leon is handsome and kind, is that not enough for us to love each other?” Selina scoffs. “Silly girl! He doesn't have a dollar to his name, so any lies he has told you, it's better you don't believe it! Trust me, I divorced him due to how useless he is!” Leon just looks down, he has gotten so used to Selina embarrassing him, but MJ is not going to be having any of that today. She pulls Leon in and gives him a hot and deep kiss on his lips. Everyone gasps, because it's like a scene from a fairytale. “I'm in love with

Judge Grayson keeps his word to Leon and just before the end of the day, he is in the dining room having a late dinner when the door opens and Selina rushes in with screams of joy. “Damien! Babe, where are you?!” She bawls. Leon stops eating briefly, because he thinks that she is in some kind of problem, but Damien appears and she shows him the approved divorce papers. “Look, Leon and I are officially divorced!” She jumps into his hands. Damien's face cracks up in a smile and he twirls her in the air as he kisses her. “Finally, I can be with the love of my life! We are going to have the biggest wedding of the century!” Damien boasts. The divorce being approved doesn't come as a surprise to Leon, because he was the one who begged the Chief Judge to approve it before the set time as a favour to him. He just goes back to eating his bowl of food, and ignores the celebrating couple in front of him. “Leon, are you actually crying?” Selina laughs with mockery. Leon touches his face.
