Estella’s POV"I'll be right back. Let me have a glass of water." Before I could say anything, he vanished from the room. I let out a huge sigh of relief as I dropped into the bed because, well, nobody can hear me.I thought he was going to take a long time. How when most men say they will be right back, they then proceed to take the whole day. I thought the same would be the case here. It however was not. He fulfills his word and gots back sooner than I anticipated. We are approximately an hour away from the scheduled meeting time. "We need to get ready,” He said. “Yes honey.” He came closer and kissed me.“Remember after this, we have a date which is the most important,” he grinned. I blushed, my cheeks getting so reddened. Estella’s POV NEXT MORNING “We will dress appropriately, since it will be more like a date. A date with me." "Awwww," I jest, rolled my eyes and asked, "What do you think I should wear?" I essentially don't know what to wear to gatherings anymore, particu
Adrian’s POVAs we finished our meal and prepared to leave, the server approached our table with a discreet smile. "Mr. Adrian, I hope you and your lovely companion had a wonderful dining experience?"I nodded, smiling at Estella. "It was exceptional, thank you. The food, the service, the atmosphere... everything was top-notch."The server beamed with pride. "I'm so glad to hear that. And as a special treat, I have arranged for a private viewing of our exclusive wine cellar. Would you like to take a tour?"Estella's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and I knew I had to say yes. We followed the server down a winding staircase, into a dimly lit cellar filled with rare vintages and vintage champagnes.As we sipped on a glass of 1962 Lafite Rothschild, Estella leaned into me, her voice barely above a whisper. "This is incredible. I feel like I'm in a fairy tale."I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her close. "You deserve to feel like royalty, Estella. You deserve to be treated like th
Estella 's POV"Please don't ever, I love you so much. I want to better your life, I want you to be a great woman. I just want you to think about this, if you remain here with us forever, we will help you develop to a very great height you never thought of." His voice was low, kind of pleading. "Adrian, I know you really need an answer now. I know how you feel inside of you, it's really painful to remember you guys didn't even want me in the beginning but it's all history now. Let's forget about the past and focus on now and the future. I promise never to leave,” I assured him, cupping his face with my hands. His eyes fix rigidly at me, I hear his heart pumping heavily. I smile to myself."I love you so much, I can't deny the feelings I have for you all the time. I've been hiding this, like not telling you but I can't any longer. I don't want you to love me less among my brothers because you feel I don't love you." "Are you serious right now?" He is dumbfounded, his jaw dropped and
Estella’s POVAs Adrian's hands continued to massage my body, I felt a sense of trust and relaxation wash over me. And then, he dropped a bombshell."You know, Estella, I'm a doctor," he said, his voice casual, as if he was sharing a trivial fact.My eyes snapped open, and I turned to him in surprise. "A doctor?" I repeated, my voice incredulous.Adrian nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Yes, I am."I was stunned. I had no idea that Adrian was a doctor. It made sense, though his skilled hands, his knowledge of the human body, his ability to ease my tension and discomfort."Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, feeling a little silly for not realizing it earlier.Adrian shrugged. "I didn't want you to feel intimidated or uncomfortable. I wanted us to connect on a personal level, without the title or profession getting in the way."I nodded, understanding. And as I lay there, feeling his hands work their magic, I knew that I was in good hands. Joyful, he springs up. "This is beaut
Third POV“Oh!” Adrian nodded. “That means you don't have a hard time seeing them each time you visit home.” “Yes,” Estella nodded. “Are you done, let's go?” She raised her face from the phone to look up at him, seeing his cute styled hair, she couldn't evade the blush bubbling up from showing. “You look so handsome.” “Wowww. Thanks. You look amazingly beautiful.” Adrian reached out and gave her a light kiss on the lips. She saw heaven. He smiled at her upon pulling out. Estella couldn't imagine how blissful she got, though it seemed little acts of affection, yet it meant a whole lot to her. It did a whole lot to her. They clutched their hands together as they got out of the apartment, there was no one in sight. It seemed so lonely that anyone would think no one lived there except them but the auditors were right inside. Some had gone for work. “Will you be okay living here or you'll feel quite bored?” Adrian asked Estella as they were about getting into the elevator. “No,” she
Third POV“That's where I chose to go. Good afternoon mom, dad.” She greeted both of them at once. “Yesss!” The king nodded. “Good afternoon, my daughter.” She wanted to place her hand on her shoulder but Estella shifted slightly, falling to her hand. Both the king and queen were awestruck. Their actions towards her were getting back at them. Estella turned her face to smile at them, it was a stiff smile as her lips didn't show. “Everyone is waiting for you at the drawing room.” The queen informed her. “Alright mom, I can still remember the way there.” It's been a long time since she came to the palace but she could still navigate her way round being the place she grew up at. There was something about her voice which made her seem alienated to her parents. They looked at each other and heaved heavily. This was the time they were trying to be friendly but she didn't accept their friendly terms. Estella knew beforehand what they were trying to get out of this situation, so she chose
Third POV“Please–” Estella ignored him, moving forward to somewhere apart from him. “I have nothing else to say other than the fact I'd not be attending Clarissa’s wedding with this–” She pointed to him. “Estella,” the queen interrupted. “You aren't allowed to skip coming to the wedding without him except you will hand us a ten billion check.” She said this and immediately Estella went pale. She didn't need many words to silence her. She felt trapped. How on earth was she going to afford to give them ten billion dollars? “This is a real trap!” She felt so helpless at this point that she wanted to call Adrian but remembering he was in the midst of a virtual meeting, she slipped out of the thought. She didn't want to disturb him. “What am I going to do now?” She mumbled with her lips. The queen folded her arms across her chest, giving off a witty expression. The king, a satisfied grin and Cameron, on his part was trying to hide the excitement from his face but the smile still went
Third POVBack there in France, he's an honored personality and even got to receive a reward from the queen once but since both of them are in different angles of popularity, they didn't have a close relationship. He was confused at first and wondered if his mind was playing tricks with him. “It could be some fraudsters who have gotten to display her name hiding their real numbers.” He didn't want to pick but one voice was asking him to pick. “If not for any other thing but for the verified tick by the side of the name. It's real.” His mind spoke to him and for this, he tapped on the green button. “Hello,” he muttered a bit skeptical. “Your Majesty?” “Don't be scared, it's me. Good evening Adrian. I decided to call you today because it's my birthday. It totally escaped my mind how I forgot to invite an important personality like you for my birthday.” Adrian chuckled. “You don't have to blame yourself, Queen, perhaps it's because we aren't really close.” His tone sounded lighthear
