Kapitel 18: I'm coming over.

As Leo continued to search around for Mia, he bumped into his twin brother, Louis.

"I have been looking for you everywhere. What's it they're all saying about me saving someone? That was you right?" Louis asked Leo with a suspicious look.

How else was he going to explain the fact that everyone was saying the King's young doctor saved a lady when he knew he had been attending to something else at the time such incident occurred and he hadn't saved any lady like they claimed.

Only conclusion he could come up with was—it had been Leo's doing.

"Long story. Aunt Deborah mistook me for you and forced me to save the la—." He was about to say lady but he paused. Someone like her could never be considered to be a lady. So instead, he settled for "Girl"

He hissed as he explained. He really wanted to stop remembering everything that had happened the past hour.

When Louis heard his short narration, he began to laugh. "I'm glad you were able to save the Lady. Did the medical team take her to the hospital yet?"

"Hospital? That crazy girl —" He wanted to say more but kept quiet instead. It was best to not remember. He reminded himself.

He did not want to start talking about Mia. Plus, it was only Chloe and himself who knew she was staying with him.

Speaking of Chloe, he had to teach her a little lesson.

"Where is she? That little devil?"

"Who is a little devil? Oh! Have you seen Cherry?"

"I don't want to talk about her." Leo frowned before explaining to him that it was Chloe he was looking for and asked whether he had seen her.

"I haven't seen her. She probably must have ditched us all. You know she hates these things." Louis explained.

When they both went their separate ways, Leo still looked around in hope of finding Mia or Chloe. He had to see one of them to vent his anger and frustration on.

"Why are you wandering about?" Leo heard a feminine voice behind him and turned to see his mother standing there with a smile.

"You're here. What about dad?"

"He is with some chiefs. Men talk. I had to leave him."

"Have you seen Chloe?" He asked her with the hope of receiving a positive response but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

"I was just about to ask you same. I haven't seen her. Did she do something wrong this time?"

Leo thought about telling his mother all his naughty sister had done. His parents would probably find a way to move that girl out of his house right?

But he decided against it. He was going to teach her a lesson on his own.

"She did nothing wrong. Just wanted to see her before I leave."

Mrs Kings smiled before placing a hand on his shoulder. "I am really happy to see you. Let's talk more at home."

"Home?" He gave her a confused look.

He hadn't planned on going home. In fact, he didn't like going home!

"Yes. Home" She nodded. "You're not planning to not come over are you? You should come over for dinner and at least spend the night." She gave him no chance to object and turned to walk away, but she stopped when he called for her attention.

"I wanted to ask— why is there a Shaman's house in this park?"

"A Shaman's house?" She raised a questioning brow at him.

"Yes. Isn't this supposed to be a park? That place looked creepy"

"There....is really a Shaman's house here?" She asked again to be sure.

The Mickey Mouse girl had told her about a Shaman's house but she had called the girl a liar. Now her son was telling her the same thing. It only meant the girl had not lied.

"There is. But I could not find it again. I just thought you knew. Anyways, I'll see you later"

He kissed her cheek before going on his own way.

Mrs Kings felt a pang of guilt.

Not only had she called her a liar, she had also asked her if she wasn't trained.

But remembering how rude the girl had sounded and how she had ripped the envelope into pieces, she frowned deeply.

"Silly girl" She said before shaking the thought out of her head to go do something else.

*********

Immediately Mia got to the house, she slumped on the bed and began to cry.

Calling her a liar had really broken her down. She could take different insults from people, but being called a Liar was one she could not take.

It reminded her of when she was little. Whenever they searched for something around the house and could not find it, they always accused her of taking it. Sometimes she was sure the item was with her elder sister, Mary, but Mary would call her a liar and her parents would take Mary's side.

In school also, she had been faced with similar cases. She didn't know why people always looked down on her or call her a liar and a thief.

What did she do to deserve something like this?

Was it her fault for presenting herself to the people to insult her.

She heard her phone begin to ring and did not bother to check who was calling.

When the phone began to ring for the third time, she picked up the phone from the bed and was about ending the call in annoyance before she saw it was Mira calling.

Mira was her friend just like James.

The three of them were childhood friends and always stuck around together.

Just like James, Mira was a rich kid. She could get whatever she wanted on a platter. But she wasn't proud. Or maybe she was, but she was never proud to her or rubbed her riches on her face.

Mia was surprised to see her calling with her local number since Mira had been in a art school outside the country and they were only able to communicate via video call once in a while.

"Mira!" Mia quickly sat up.

"Why's your voice sounding that way? Who annoyed you?" Mia could tell Mira was frowning by the tone she asked with.

"I am fine. Are you in the country?"

"Yes babe. I called you earlier today but it seemed you were busy. You didn't even bother to call back."

Mia forced out a laugh amidst her sadness. Mira was always so dramatic and Mia could swear that she was pouting right now.

"Sorry. Had a stupid job and wasted six hours of my precious life today. I don't want to remember it."

Mia said with a dismissive tone.

"I spoke with James a few minutes back and he mentioned your living arrangement." Mira paused and began to laugh before adding.

"I'm coming over. I need to hear ever single detail about it and the guy living with you."

Kapitel 19: You don't know anything

"What? That was Leo?" Mrs King asked Leo in surprise as they ate dinner around the long family dining table. 

When she heard the King family's young doctor had saved a lady, he had naturally assumed it was Louis who had done that.

She remembered the incident now and was thanking Louis for being there on time but to her surprise, Louis had said it was Leo who did that.

Everyone else felt the same way apart from Louis who knew about it already. 

"Aunt Deborah put me through this mess. I don't even want to remember it" He said before he continued with his Cajun Chicken Pasta and veggies.

It was his favourite, and they had specially prepared it to welcome him back home. 

He would have actually preferred a beer on the table, but instead, there were healthy smoothies made with different kinds of fruits.

"I'm really proud of you Darling." His mother said again before looking at her husband as she waited for him to day something also, but he remained quiet while eating his food. 

Leo saw it but pretended like he did not.

People do say that "In every family, there is always a black sheep." He probably was the black sheep of his family. 

His father had wanted him to become a doctor just like the rest of them, or probably a lawyer if he didn't want to join them in the medical field. 

But instead, he had chosen to be a photographer and cinematographer. 

And having that kind of job meant that he would always travel far from home. He always moved from one city and country to the other. 

Leo didn't think there was anything wrong in doing that. Besides, he was paid well— Cool cash. Maybe his brother was made to take care of the sick and all, but he was not. 

He liked to see pretty things instead of gory sights. 

He liked to hold a camera instead of a knife. 

He liked it when his heart raced in excitement at the thought of the gem he was about to create, not getting tensed because he did not know whether the person he was operating on would die or not.

He wanted to make people prettier instead of leaving scars on their bodies.

He had chosen that path, and he liked it with all his heart.

He didn't mind what his father thought anymore. 

For years, he had tried to convince his father that this was what he wanted to do, but his father was never interested in whatever he had to say. He had made it clear that he wanted him to become either a doctor or lawyer.

To him, being something else aside from those two was a stain to their family's name.

The probably could allow Chloe do whatever she wanted since she was a woman. But Leo was a man— and a King.

The place became unbearable and suffocating to the point where he had to move out. 

But it wasn't as if his father completely ignored him. They do exchange pleasantries— just like they had done at the park earlier, but that was all. Nothing more or less. 

Leo looked at Chloe who was sitting opposite him and he saw her quickly move her eyes away from him. 

He didn't mind her acting like a thief. All he wanted was for her to move that girl out of his apartment. He had talked about it with Chloe right before dinner and she had promised to send Mia to somewhere else soon.

"Are you sleeping here tonight?" Louis asked.

"No. I'm going back to my place." Leo answered almost immediately. 

Before his mother could say a word, her phone rang with an emergency call from the hospital. 

Leo was not surprised to see the Doctors hurrying out of the house. In fact, he had been surprised that they were able to stay for long hours without receiving any call. 

Was this the kind of life they expected him to live? 

Well, he couldn't. 

               ***********

"James' place looks good. Better than I imagined." Mira said as she looked around the sitting room before sitting down.

"Would have been better if I was living alone." Mia said in a annoyed tone before sitting beside her.

"Is he that bad?" 

"Just wait till he comes here and you'll see how much of a jerk he is" 

Mira began to laugh. "I won't be surprised you're actually the one who has a problem. You don't like anyone, and always look for an excuse to start a quarrel." 

"This guy is worse. He is rude, annoying and—" Mia suddenly remembered how he had appeared inside her room with a lady beside him and frowned deeply. 

"And handsome? Is he handsome?" Mira asked inquisitively. 

Mia knew Mira had always had a thing for handsome guys. She didn't mind whether he behaved like a jerk or not. So far he was handsome, he was perfect. 

"He is....not" Mia said before standing up to go inside the kitchen while Mira closely following behind her.

"Just try to get along with him baby. Would have asked you to move into my house but it's very far from your school."

"I am really trying my best believe me. I am" Mia took out some vegetables from the fridge and washed them before she began to slice. 

"Don't tell me you want to prepare noodles?" 

"Of course. That's the fastest food to prepare. I am starving." She wasn't only starving, she was feeling sick. It was a miracle that she was still this strong after collapsing earlier.

"How many times have I told you that noodles is not good for your health? Leave those things. Let's go eat out. I am also starving." Mira tried to pull Mia away but she didn't budge. 

"You know I hate to eat out."

"You don't hate it. You're only obeying your mother because she doesn't like it." 

"It's the same thing." Mia said with a frown.

"For goodness sake Mia! You're a adult already. How long are you going to keep trying to impress your mother?" 

Mia stopped what she was doing, took a deep breath, and turned around to look at Mira. 

"Do you want me to throw you out of this place?" She asked in a calm voice. 

"I don't mind you throwing me out of here. You know I'll never stop telling you the truth. Your mum doesn't care about you yet you always try to please her. Can't you think about pleasing yourself for once? Do you know—" 

"Just stop it!" Mia raised her voice and lifted her head as she tried to stop tears the tears from falling down.

"You— don't know anything." She said in a low voice before dumping all the veggies inside the waste bin.

As Mia pushed past her to leave the kitchen, Mira wrapped her hands around her in a hug. 

"I am sorry about all I said. I didn't mean to hurt you. You know I love you a lot and your happiness matters a lot to me. Please forgive me baby." 

They heard a thud and quickly broke away from the hug to look at the door. 

There, Leo was standing with wide eyes and dropped jaws as he stared at both ladies.

Sorry for the late update.

Like I mentioned in my other novel, there was a fire outbreak and so things were messy.

But I'm good.
