EPISODE 4

After getting a text message from Harry, it was only when Louis and Brina came out of the restroom.

Their faces were flushed red and their foreheads were already drenched in sweat. It was suffocating to them and standimg so close have also aro-use d them.

They had to supress their respective thoughts.

Meanwhile, Luke and Hailey were still in the stall waiting for them. It is to inform them what all has happened just now.

“Thank God, we didn’t get caught by my dad, baby. Our peaceful date has just turned out into a surprising reunion.” Louis said to Brina as they both sat down across Luke and Hailey.

“Guys, I don’t un-derstand why you don’t want the King to know about your relationship. He seems so un-derstanding and friendly.” Luke said.

“Honestly, I never thought Natalie would get accepted so easily by them. They are so warm and friendly towards her that it made me emotional. I am really thankful to God that my sister got such a great in laws” he added with a wide smile on his handsome face.

Hailey smiled.

“She indeed is. I never thought that the King and Queen are this friendly. They were always stoic and cold in front of others. I think it’s just a facade to keep others in check” she agreed.

“I really think you guys should open up to King. He will help” Hailey said, agreeing with her boyfriend.

Brina chuckled and shook her head horizontally.

“Things differ depending on the situation, Hailey.

“Though King might accept me as Louis’s girlfriend and approve of our relationship, it won’t change anything. I still have to rank in top two and I had to get my own allies.”

“At most, he can only help me secretly. But, won’t it become a problem if it gets exp-osed? Not only me and Louis but also King himself will get affected because of it. I don’t want any serious issues like that to happen just because of me” Brina said as she smiled.

“It’s better if King is left in dark about this matter. There should be no allegations stating that I won because the King has helped me. It will affect him as well! Kings has to be unbiased for their own good”

“Moreover, I think I am capable enough to win square and fair. If I can’t win among these ladies, how am I supposed to prove that I am capable of becoming Louis’s Queen? So, I rather prefer to win fairly” Brina told them.and smiled at Louis, who has a proud smile on his face.

He pec-ked her li-ps and loving said, “If that is what my Queen wants, I will follow her wishes”

Brina rolled her eyes but pec-ked his li-ps back. “Yes, that’s what your girl wants” she said.

Louis smiled and placed a ki-ss on her forehead before shifting his attention back to Luke

“So, where did they all go now?” He asked Luke who was seeing them with awestruck expression.

These both!!Seriously, they are one of the kind! Louis was about to give away his CEO position for Brina.

As for Brina, she had put away all her fears and insecurities in order to support Louis in every way she can. It’s indeed true love and they are an ideal couple!

“Luke” Brina called, as she waved her head in front of his eyes. “Come back to earth, boy!” she joked for which Luke mumbled,I am not a boy! I am a man”

This evoked a laugh among the four of them and after that Luke spoke, “They are in the restaurant now. And, Brina, Ethan wanted to know how he can help you.”

“He texted me saying that, you have to accept his help and if Natalie’s peace of mind, really matters to you, you shouldn’t say no.” Luke told Brina as he showed her the text.

“Depending on what you want, he will decide how many he has to stay back here” he added.

Brina nodded her head with a light ‘hum’.

There was a faint smile on her face. Natalie’s peace of mind is only a matter of name. Ethan genuinely wants to help her and he seems stubborn in it. Moreover, she couldn’t say no.

Party, it is because she knows that it is Ethan’s own way of finding peace. And the other reason is, even she nee-ds his help.

“Baby, if Ethan returns back to the palace, will our trip to Alpha Academy get delayed?” Brina asked Louis.

“Yep. Though he is just visiting and it is nothing related to Royal business, yes, it might get delayed a day or two. I can delay it in the name of spending some time with my brother, but it won’t last more than a day or two” Louis answered her, with an amused expression on his face.

He is curious to find what his genius baby has in her mind now.

Actually, they have to go to Alpha Academy the day after tomorrow but Brina’s work is not yet done.

She asked her old friend Rose to investigate something. And, it might take two days more.

“Then,ask him to stay in the Palace for a few days.” Brina told Luke who nodded his head. Shifted her eyes to Louis, who was looking at her with a question mark face, she said, “Even you will be get to spend some ‘siblings’ time and with Harry, Rhianna and Natalie, I will feel little refreshed too”

“Then, I can start the second and most important phase of our journey with renewed energy,” Brina said as she pec-ked Louis’ li-ps.

“Done! I texted him and he texted back with an okay emoji” Luke told them.

“This day has been so thrilling and full of surprises honey. But now, we have to go back. You have to go back to your suite” Louis told Brina. It was already night.

And, they have to reach before King and Queen return back with Ethan, Natalie, Harry and Rhianna.

“You guys enjoy the night. Hailey, you can come back the day after tomorrow, you know. Spend a few days with Luke. He seems like he is missing you so much” Brina said, teasing Luke and Hailey.

Theyblus-hed. But nodded their heads. They indeed missed each other and moreover, their love is in early stage. So, it’s indeed common to crave for some quality time.

Brina returned back. Charlotte and Eliina were waiting for her. It is because Brina texted them asking them to meet her. However, both of them are tense and red.

After they ‘unfortunately’ met, they have returned back together. And, they have talked about their respective lovers. They were surprised.

Eliina was angry with Charlotte for hiding the truth. And, Charlotte is angry at Hailey too.

“Why are you both red and angry?” Brina asked, looking at them with amusement.

“Nope. Nothing, Brina. Why did you call us, anyway? It’s already night” Charlotte asked.

“Ethan is coming back and I have successfully pulled up a few days of time,” Brina said.

“Wow! Brother is coming back!” Eliina squealed. However, there was no genuine surprise on her face. She has already predicted this.

“Ahh. That’s good” Charlotte said. But she suc-ks at acting and Brina right away figured it out.

“You were not surprised. Both of you. So, were you at the carnival too? Have you seen Ethan there?” Brina asked.

Charlotte and Eliina looked at each other, surprised and confused what to tell.

Are they really that bad in acting or, is Brina good at reading others?

“Your faces are telling me that you were there. But, guys, aren’t you both single?” Brina asked them.

“Ahh. We were there.” Charlotte said.

“Really?” Brina questioned them.

“Yep…yep, we came together. I dressed up as a boy and Eliina as my girlfriend” Charlotte lied.

It’s better not to let Brina not know who her girlfriend is. Charlotte wants to surprise her. ….

“Dad, I have to tell you something,” Ethan told King Edgar.

They came back to the palace and Natalie was lulled to sleep by Ethan. After he made sure his wife was asleep, he asked one of the personal maids of his sister to look after her and came to his father’s quarters to talk.

“What is it, Ethan?” King Edgar asked.

“Dad, all your opinion on Olivia is a purely wrong. She is a real bitc-h, sorry for my words, but to be honest, she isn’t what she is ‘portrayed’ as. Please believe me, if she becomes Edward’s wife, he will suffer.”

“And, I think Olivia’s hand is there in Lady Brina’s accident” Ethan said, making King Edgar shocked.

“How..how are you sure?” Edgar asked.

“Dad, I was her fiance for a few months. I lived with that bitc-h in the same house. Don’t you think I don’t know what kind of woman she is? .”

“At that time, our Kingdom was facing many problems and you had a heart attack. Though I didn’t wanted to stay, I was for-ced to live with Olivia. I really wanted to tell you about my love and annul my engagement with her, however, situations aren’t in best positions to any of us”

“Natalie was in depression and I was in verge of losing my mund. Dad, do you think I just left the Kingdom, leaving all my responsibilities just like that? Especially at these times? I had to go… I didn’t had any option. I had to save my girl from dying” Ethan told him, his eyes unfathomable with rage, sadness and fear.

“I know Natalie wouldn’t be accepted as Queen and in turn it would have endangerrd her life because she would have been a weak Queen. So,I really thought of forgetting her for her own good, dad. It was tough for both of us but I didn’t want to keep her life in risk because of my selfishness.”

“If I would have married her and brou-ght her here and no one would have dared to oppose me. But, I know it would affect both the Kingdom and Natalie in a bad way”

“Dad, I really tried to forget her, dad. I had thoughts of marrying Natalie and brining her here. I thought with all our help she would have moulded into a better Queen. If our Kingdom was not in brink of a rebellion, I would have really done it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it because of circu-mstances.”

“In addition to that, Olivia was a thornin my life, making everything worse. If she was supporting enough or truly caring towards me, I think she would have helped me to forget Natalie. Or, at least if she was a good woman she would have been quite and left everything for me to suffer ”

“But do you know what she did? She tried to kill Natalie! She sent people to kill her so that my girlfriend would not become an obstacle to her Queen position.”

“She is a pure devil in disguise”

“She only cares about power and the only ambition she has is to become Queen and in order to do that, she would go to any lengths”

“Dad, Lady Brina is a smart, brilliant and potential candidate. Don’t you think it is too much of a coincidence that only Lady Brina was targeted amongst all?”

“It has to do something with Olivia. I think that bitc-h saw competition in Brina and would have specifically targeted her.”

“So, please just look into it again, dad. Trust me, Lady Brina is someone who should not be treated as an ordinary person” Ethan said.

Meanwhile, King Edgar is in shock. Olivia tried to kill Natalie? Is she really someone that bad?

He actually had many suspicions on Brina’s accident, however, his mother said she would look into it. So, he had let it go.

“Son, how are you so sure about Lady Brina? Do you know her?” King Edgar asked. His son spoke high of her as if he knows how she is.

Noticing that Ethan became silent, King Edgar asked again, “So, you really know Last Brina from before?”

Meanwhile, Ethan bit his tongue. Damn his loose tongue!

“Ethan, is Lady Brina Edward’s girlfriend? Is that how you know her and is that why you told me not to take her easy?” King Edgar asked.

He doesn’t know why, but he felt like his younger son and Brina had something going on between them. Ethan shook his head horizontally.

“No dad. There is nothing between them. I know her because she was a higher official in S & S corporations which is my friend Harry’s company. I met here a couple of times” Ethan lied.

He knows that Brina doesn’t want her relationship to be disclosed. Truth to be spoken, he is scared of Brina. After hearing about Brina from Harry, Ethan started fearing her a bit. She was indeed scary in her past years.

“But, why did she tell you she is a ‘mere’ employee when she was in her high position?” King Edgar asked.

Ethan really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This woman!! She was someone more powerful than a CEO, but she hid it with a tag name of ‘ex CEO’ who just wants some peaceful and common life. Now, she is hiding everything with a ’employee’ tag. She is indeed very good in hiding her tracks and faking her identity. It is in her genes!

“Did she say that? Maybe she doesn’t want to attra-ct attention. It’s better to pretend like powerless and then strike the enemies at the last stage. Maybe she is inspired by that strategy” Ethan told, calming his heart.

‘Its okay Ethan. Brina is not Sabrina so she won’t come for revenge even if you give away her secret involuntary’ he thought and stood up with a fake yawn leaving his li-ps.

“Dad, I am sleepy. I will talk to you tomorrow” he told his dad, stretching his arms to indicate that he is tired from traveling.

“Okay, son. Take a good rest” King Edgar told him as they shared a brief hu-g before pulling apart.

“And, dad, I forgot to give you this” saying so, Ethan fished out his pendrive.
“These are the evidences I found out against Olivia when she was conspiring to kill my wife. These are some voice recordings of Olivia and her men. You can use these at right times”

“I really don’t want any evidence to believe what my son is saying. I trust you, Ethan” King Edgar smiled patting his shoulder.

“I gave you to use these at the right times dad. Please make sure she won’t become a Queen. I don’t want my little brother to suffer” Ethan said.

“Lady Katherine or Lady Brina. I prefer these two because they are capable as well as compatible” he added. In his eyes, Katherine is quite good too. But not as good as Brina. Moreover, Ethan is sure Brina will win this. It’s just a cakewalk for her. It’s just that she is unwilling to unleash her power.

“Hmm. Even I am feeling the same. But given with the circu-mstances we are facing, it’s better not to show favoritism till the end. And, I really pray Olivia wouldn’t be in first position. It will make things difficult for Edward and all of us” King Edgar sighed.

“Let’s not worry about it dad. Let fate take it course” Ethan replied as he gave a faint smile. He meant it. All he wishes is that there will be no mishap.

“And, son, your grandmother wanted to meet Natalie” King Edgar told Ethan who was about to go. Ethan pursed his li-ps.

“No dad. Not again. Please” he said.

King Edgar smiled a little but Ethan could see that his father was helpless. That oldie has more power over a few things compared to the king. So, he really couldn’t do anything.

“All right, it’s just for breakfast. And, I will go with my wife” Ethan said.

He doesn’t want Natalie to get bullied by anyone. Especially not his grandmother.

“Son, that’s a ladies breakfast. Every lady would be coming. According to your grandmother it’s a welcoming party for Natalie. So, I really couldn’t deny. But don’t worry. Your mother and sister will be there with her. They will take care of her.” King Edgar said. Ethan nervously nodded his head. But he knows that his mother and sister are no match to that bitc-h Olivia and his grandmother.

“Dad, can’t we join them? Shouldn’t it be while the family welcomes her? She might not be a queen but she is still the daughter in law of the Royal family” Ethan told.

King Edgar nodded his head. “I will arrange for it. Don’t worry”
….

Meanwhile…Brina was in de-ep sleep when Louis returned. He just met his brother and came back. However, his brother asked for a favor. He wanted Brina to protect Natalie from Olivia during tomorrow’s breakfast. Louis was hesitant but his brother pleaded with him.

Natalie is sen-sitive by nature and she is a magnet to all the bullying. So, he is really worried about her. Louis sighed and sat down beside Brina.

He intently looked at her, caressing her face with his eyes. He leaned down and ki-ssed her forehead tenderly, waking up Brina. With hooded eyes, she sleepily looked at Louis and abruptly wrapped her arms around him.

“Baby, you look worried. What happened?” she asked as she ru-bbed her face on his che-st.

“Nothing. Tomorrow, you will be having breakfast with an oldie.” he told her, caressing her head.

“Ahh. I see that word has already pas-sed so fast. It is an indirect way to humiliate Natalie in the name of a welcoming party. Isn’t it?” she asked, still sleepy.

“Seems like it,” Louis said. “That bitc-h Olivia will surely bully my baby Natalie. I am not gonna let that happen” Brina added.

Her cheeks are deliciously red because she just woke up. She is looking like a baby however, that vicious look in her eyes is really a bit scary.

Louis didn’t know whether to think that she was so cute or if she was vixen. She is his cute vixen!

“Honey, why are you so protective of Natalie? You have been worrying about her very constantly, ever since you came here. Why?” Louis asked.

Brina chuckled and told him,
“It’s because I know a secret about her which no one knows. And, I owe a lot to her parents”

“What? Isn’t she an orphan?” Louis asked, surprised.

“How do you know?” Brina asked. Shocked.

She is sure Ethan couldn’t have dug out that information. It is highly clas-sified.

“Harry told, baby. He didn’t want to tell, but it kind of sli-pped from his tongue” Louis said, chuckling at her cute face.

“Ah. I see” Brina said, as she leaned into his embr@ce.

“Actually, Natalie doesn’t know that…. not even Luke. Harry accidentally found out” she said, de-ep in thought.

“So, why do you owe her parents?” Louis asked.

“I owe her mother, not her father.” she told, her li-ps pursed. It is evident that she is surfing in her past right now.
“She is the reason I am alive, Louis. Well, she didn’t save me, technically…she played a part in it. However, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have known that my own people were conspiring against me. So, I do owe Natalie’s mother a lot,” Brina said, looking into his eyes.

“Is her mother powerful?” Louis asked.

“Yep. She is” Brina said.
‘You actually know her I think’ she thought inside. Fate sometimes brings the people to where they belong. Louis nodded his head.

“But, why is she given away to Smith’s Family when her parents are alive?” he asked.

“It’s because her mother wants to protect Natalie from her father. That’s why” Brina answered. Louis nodded his head.

“So, her father is bad,” he said.

“And, baby, in any way, is her father connected with what happened to you and your family?” Louis asked.

Suddenly he felt like it. Brina and Natalie might have a common enemy.

“Well, not exactly. But, he had his own role in it. That bastard” Brina said. She couldn’t help but swear at the end. Louis wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her.

“Don’t worry. I will be there for you and in the same way, Ethan will be there for his sister in law. But, baby, how exactly are you connected to Natalie’s mother?” Louis asked.

“She is my Godmother. A friend of both my parents. This makes Natalie my sister” Brina answered.
“However, Louis, I think Natalie has to be moulded stronger. She is too delicate to withstand if she gets implicated” Brina said.

“Then, it’s better not to let her know the truth of her origin,” Louis said.

“We will try, Louis. But it might come out when I will go for my revenge” Brina answered.

“Baby, by the way, how is Will? He is with your friend right? What happened to his surgery?” Louis asked. Intending to pull her out from thinking about her past and revenge. He doesn’t want her to ruin her own mood.

“He is doing good. After changing from orphanage, he is doing pretty well. Maybe I was wrong by keeping him in a new place. With my ex friend, his people and his family, he is doing pretty good.” Brina said, smiling. Even the thought of Will will deviate her from her sad past.

“So, my little nephew is going to wake up soon? Baby, should I be ready for competition?” Louis asked, ki-ssing her ne-ck. Brina chuckled.

“He is going to be back soon. At least that is what her doctors said to Remus” she answered.

“And, yep, be ready for a potential competitor,” he teased.

“After Will comes out of his coma, I really want to end all the things. I am sick of carrying my past with me.” she told him after a few moments. Still de-ep in thoughts.

“I want to end everything and start my new life with you. After finishing things, let’s have our own babies” Brina said, all in sudden acting coquettish. It indeed caught him off guard.

“Why are you so shocked? Brina asked, laughing at his dumbfounded face. Well, he doesn’t want to share her yet. Not soon. However, little does he know that his wife will be pregnant by his next birthday.
