Third POV Estella stood still for a moment, not saying anything. She thought over what Chloe just said and nodded her head. “Perhaps she's telling the truth.” She sighed. “Well, it's okay. I'll get to prepare now.” She said and ended the call. She dropped the phone on the table beside the bed, taking both hands to her waist. “Why do I feel like Adrian will see me at this hotel?” “Even if he does, isn't it a good chance for you to meet him?” Another voice arose in her mind which eventually sent her preparing for the meeting. “I need to arrive on time just as I've promised them.” She spoke to herself and went on to prepare. Within eighteen minutes she was done as she really had nothing to do apart from showering and dressing up. She didn't feel like eating before the meeting, she could even order something from the bar of the hotel or eat what will be given to her at the meeting. She locked the door of her apartment and rushed to her car which was packed downstairs. “Let me see wh
Third POV “I think I can go now!” She asked whatever voice was speaking to her before now. “Yes,” she felt that energy rallying through her. Her mind was speaking to her. She started the car and zoomed off, driving straight to the hotel where she parked at the car park, pulled out her phone to check the exact floor the meeting was gonna hold. “Gosh!” She gasped, hurrying up the moment she peered into her screen at the top. “I'm fifteen minutes late.” “Do I have to let out my reason?” Her mind hit somewhere deep. “Why am I suspecting that Adrian could be there?” She thought to herself, then she brushed off this thought and replaced it with seeing Adrian properly at the elevator. “Didn't I hear that a very, very important person had a VVIP elevator?” It seemed that these thoughts were going to come on his way of arriving quickly upon reaching the hotel minutes later, she paused them and concentrated. Walking with focus, she got into the elevator. She pressed on the thirteenth flo
Third POV “Thanks so much, sir.” Chloe rose up, placing her hands together as in a clap, she couldn't be any less grateful. She was gonna show Adrian that she appreciated this so much. Adrian smirked. He was thrilled that some other person could show such reverence to him but the very girl who was supposed to be thrilled with him showing her attention wasn't doing so. “You're welcome,” Adrian replied to her with a warm smile. He was so radiant that Chloe couldn't help but feel attracted to him though it wasn't by any way sexual. Estella looked up to him and glanced towards her friend, she suspected the sudden chemistry. She blinked her eyes, rolling away. Denis was glancing at his wine glass, he was confused as to what to do. He cleared his throat, pulling all attention to himself. “What's it Denis?” Adrian, who knew him very well asked. Over the time they have been together, he knows that each time he clears his throat in the midst of a conversation, he wants to say something.
Third POV How could a woman this mature in age like her not respect us and compose herself. Secondly, if not for anything, doesn't she fear Adrian’s position? What she's even playing tantrums over isn't even worth this.” “My ex who attempted poisoning me was just like her. They let emotions control them and I wouldn't let anyone capable of hurting Adrian be around him.” “Come, let's get out of here!” He dragged Chloe’s hand, forcing her away with him while Estella watched with shock and teary eyes yet there was nothing she could do. When they left, she dropped to the chair and cried bitterly, for many minutes she couldn't rise. “Why did I even accept the invitation to come here? Why didn't I tell them that I am busy? Why didn't I listen to my instinct that I'll see Adrian here?” She grunted by herself. As she was speaking to herself, a waiter approached her. He tapped on her hands which were folded over her head as she lay her face on the table. “Ma’am, please we request you to t
Third POV She sprang open the door of her car but before she could get inside, she felt Adrian’s grab over her waist. All her fears, tension and anxiety disappeared at that exact second, she felt a new breath of fresh air and her heart was lighter as never before. The hands draped her waist tighter, she breathed in, sniffing. “I'm sorry for everything that happened today, Estella and for not letting you know I went to Paris for the Queen's birthday yesterday, Chloe told me this is what pissed you but–” He paused, giving space for suspense to fly in. “I don't think–” He paused again, the words seemed so difficult to pull through. Estella gazed up at him with teary eyes full of pleas. “If you want me to be the most submissive and understanding woman on earth, I will be just please don't leave me,” she was screaming inside of her, likewise these words were too difficult to pull through her mouth but her eyes said it all.“I don't think this will work,” Adrian finally released those w
Third POV “Hello Adrian,” she reached out to him, eager to hear his voice. “Yes, your highness.” He was still skeptical and quite confused as well. “I've asked you before now to do away with the title, you're my man now. I'm with your baby.” “Gosh!” Adrian was going to defend himself when the princess immediately handed over the phone to her mother. “Hello Adrian, I'm using my position as the Queen to order you to come to my palace at once. A three-hour flight is nothing, leave whatever you were doing and come right here. I'll send my private jet to pick you up.” “I'm–I'm treating someone here at the hospital,” he lied. “--Your majesty.” Then he took a heavy breath, with his heart shaking. “I can't take my leave in the midst of a dangerous operation.” “Stop lying to me!” The Queen's all-knowing tone made him freak out. He furrowed his brows. “How did she know that I'm lying?” He wondered, then looked at Estella. “But I'm in the hospital and Estella is lying here in a critical
Third POV “You know that right? Now also it's not over until it's over, don't need the audacity to challenge me when you know you can't actually defeat me.” “You better come here and watch over Estella, mind you, there's a secret camera here. Touch her inappropriately and you bear with my anger once I'm back.” Cameron was dumbfounded and couldn't talk. Adrian grinned and ended the call. Now he could travel to Paris without much worry on who's gonna take care of Estella. “I know he now regrets his action of treating her badly but if I didn't threaten him, he wouldn't leave her to me,” he growled. Bending low, he gave Estella a kiss on the lips. “I don't know what lies ahead of us, whether good or bad but I want to use this moment and let you know that I love you.” He, himself, was uncertain of their fate now that things turned complicated and the queen with her daughter was entering the picture. Like previous time, he thought that the plane would take three hours to arrive, but it
Third POV For a while now, he thought that this was true but now he was beginning to question whether this was just a technique to get him into looking away. “Oh my God! I should have suspected this.” He rubbed his hands over his head in frustration. “She must have had sex with me after then. And she didn't use protection!” He stood up in anger. “Could it be possible for her to be infected?”“Oh God!” He became so unsteady that the air hosts rushed towards him. “Sir, is something wrong? May we help you?” They chorused, looking so desperate as they thought he was sick. He rubbed his head further, twisting his face and lips like someone who was in pain. This convinced them that he was probably sick but couldn't tell them. “Let's rush you to the hospital as soon as possible.” The chief of the air hosts said to him and he nodded, it was his technique to deviate and go check himself up. He clearly knew that if he didn't check himself up, then he wouldn't be alright. Since they were s
