After Elizabeth Left the Military department, she saw that she had a missed call From Shane August . She wonders if he knew with whom she was , what kind of punishment will lay ahead ?
Elizabeth Immediately dialed his number and put it on speaker . After two ringtones he finally Answers.
" where are you ?" His cold voice suddenly flows the car .
" i was at the hospital " Elizabeth said with no hesitation.
" liar " Shane yelled .
There was a silent moment of Elizabeth thinking of her next lie when he spoke again .
" i have been calling your office none stop , where are you " Shane repeated , demanding her to tell him immediately.
She gulps down before sounding her most convincing self .
" i had a decomposing surgery , it's a case i'm working on today , that's why "
There was a harsh breaking glass noise in Shanes's background before responding again .
" you will be at the Villa in matters of the next 15 minutes unless you want me to come look for you and trust me , that won't be an appealing escort princess " he then hangs up .
Elizabeth took the right turn instead of the left that lead her to the hospital . driving down a long street before she stopped in front of Shane August Estate gate .
She walked toward the door , clutching her purse in her left hand as she stepped inside . The aura suddenly changed when she saw Shane standing by the door frame of the living room with a smirk and a cigarette in his right hand .
" welcome home princess " Shane says with a mocking tone before throwing the cigarette and stepping onto it .
Crossing his arms together , he walks around Elizabeth.
" where . Were . You . Today . Elizabeth " he Strongly held unto her arm pulling her toward the nearest couch in the living room. Settling her down in a laying position, he hovers over her , their faces dangerously close as he spoke again .
" and don't dare lie to me again " he adds .
Elizabeth winces at his sudden comment , sounding hesitant, she pleads .
" ple-please let g-go of m-me " tears well up in her eyes as she continues struggling in his grip .
He laughs
" oh dear Elizabeth , you know i can simply devour you right here right now if you didn't disgust me so much" he said .
In fact , Shane August was Attracted to her body , she was one of the rarest beauties he had laid both eyes and hands on . she was very delicate and petite that if he wasn't such a beast they would have looked wonderful as a couple . He lied every time he said that he was disgusted by her , because in reality he wanted her a lot .
She kept struggling until he finally let her go .
" i will Make myself clear today Elizabeth , you are my wife no more going out behind my back " Shane growls , gripping into her arm protectively .
" i will not be your wife anymore , we will divorce " Elizabeth declares frustrated as tears threaten to fall down her red cheeks from pain .
Shane was taken aback by her sudden lash , his heart was beating so fast that he only continued on holding her even more painfully . " shut up , unless you want me to ruin your life , say that we will divorce again " he said angrily, daring her to talk back to him .
Elizabeth was never the confident type , but one thing she knew , she was tired of his harsh treatment. Urging herself to gather enough courage to clap him back , a knock brought them away from each other . Sighing Elizabeth sits up as Shane walks to the door .
Her heart Beating like crazy , she wonders how in hell did she fall in love with such an inhuman man like Shane August , Who did not care enough for love but only for titles .
" Chief Ambroise " SHane surprised voice rings her back to reality as she looks up from the couch .
" Shane , i have an important matter to discuss with you " Ambroise Icy glare was the only think Elizabeth can see from that angle .
She was so glad that Ambroise was there , like an angel protecting her from her worst nightmares .
" uh chief , i'm a bit busy right now-" without finishing his sentence, the chief harshly closes the door behind him .
" I think you will find this matter more urgent than whatever you were doing before " Ambroise glances at Elizabeth from the corner of his eyes , and seeing that she wasn't hurt , he sighs in relief .
When he walked up the door , he heard half of their conversation, from how Shane yelled at her to Elizabeth pleading sobs as she struggled against him . He did not know what clicked into him when he knocked on the door . He just felt the need to protect her .
Shane gave up , walking toward his house office as Ambroise followed close behind .
Elizabeth laid down again , feeling her heart calm down as she thought back of the way Ambroise spoke to her so gently , how he looked pure and soft . She did not want to like any other man anymore .
It was nighttime when Shane walked into their shared Bedroom , seeing that Elizabeth was in a deep slumber , his features softened and his heart beat so fast at the sight of her beautiful face shining under the moonlight . He did love her but he hated that fact . He was interested in her because he never touched her and that made him angry .
Only if he had sex with her then it would've been easy to let her go , but no , he decided to take the high road , the road of revenge against his own feelings .
" we will not divorce my dear " Shane said before turning to the door and leaving .
There was a congress meeting in one of August famous restaurants, many of important and high status guests were going to be present in there , so Shane had to maintain that calm composure that got him everywhere . Ambroise Langlery was also there , he had the highest rank in all of them , all combined .
Sitting down from opposite sides of each other , Ambroise glared down at Shane while he mingled his way toward Pierce Peter , the Chancellor .
" chief , Her highness will be here before dinner " Lieutenant Jasper whispered into Ambroise's ear .
He huffs .
Bianca wayn was no compared beauty to Elizabeth wayn . There was a huge difference between the both of them .
Bianca had an arrogant type of beauty while Elizabeth was a normal charm . Ambroise would always feel at ease whenever he thought about Elizabeth , he also liked her very much , but he felt that what happened between them four years ago will be the reason to ruin everything now .
" you sound disappointed chief " lieutenant Jasper says again , this time with a concerning look .
Ambroise shrugs . " he has an annoying daughter "
His lieutenant Chuckles . " i thought you would be excited to see your soon-to-be finance, but i was so wrong "
Ambroise shoulders slam down as he thinks about Elizabeth today , from when they met at his office to when he saw her at August's Villa . The terrified look on her face still hunted him throughout the entire meeting .
When it was time the king arrived , they all got escorted toward the dining haul . All in their appointed seats , surprised , Ambroise get's a seat between the King and his daughter Bianca . He rolls his eyes before sitting down , scanning the other seats for a sign of Elizabeth.
" Shane ? Where's Elizabeth?" King Wayn questions the moments he greets Shane .
Ambroise was glad that the question was finally out .
" i found her asleep when i got home , she's a hard working woman " Shane answers confidently, still there was a hint of mischief in his tone that Made Ambroise blood boil .
The king nods momentarily before turning his attention to the rest of the guests , addressing them with a speech .
The whole Dinner was Ambroise trying his best to withdraw Bianca's Attempts to seduce him , he was a well controlled man . The touching and dirty talks did not turn him on the slightest , he was just simply bored .
The night continued until it was time for them to leave , everyone bid their goodbyes and left , leaving the wayn's , shane and Ambroise in the table alone .
" Well chief Ambroise , what do you think of a cruise trip down to Manhattan next week ?" King wayn asked sheepishly.
" i am not a big fan of the sea but i will love nothing more your majesty " Ambroise said sounding as convincing as he can .
" you can bring your Sister " Bianca added , tracing a line up his arm .
" she will come your highness " Ambroise titles his head before bringing his arm away from her touch .
" and Shane , bring my daughter -" king's words are interrupted with a laugh .
" pfft , 'your daughter ' " Bianca continued her mocking laughter .
" she is the daughter of the woman i'm married to , and she's your sister " The king argued back
" she may be your daughter but she will never be titled as my sister " Bianca glared at her father before standing up .
" excuse the princess behavior , we will take our leave now . Until we meet again " the king and the rest stood up to bid him a goodbye as he left .
There was a moment of silence before Ambroise and his soldiers stood up to leave .
" have you ever met the princess Elizabeth? " Shane suspiciously glance up at Ambroise as he asks .
Ambroise clears his throat . " why do you ask ?" He said in an icy cold tone .
Shane August shrugs . " you know , you are only two years older than her , perhaps you two met when you were studying in the UK "
" FOR your information, i studied in Harvard , not the UK " Ambroise took interest to where this conversation may take them , so he sat up .
Shane scoffs . " so you never met her "
Ambroise felt the hint of jealousy in Shane's tone , because after all Langlery was more handsome and irresistible than August's look , Way manly and charming with more power .
They say one look at someone and you know how powerful they are . That's exactly A say about Ambroise Langlery.
Shane thought that if the rightful princess fell to her knees for him , so why wouldn't the other one do the same .
" i did see her , at a ceremony event at the Thomson estate " Ambroise leaned into his seat , amused that he got a reaction from Shane .
Shane crosses his arms and leans forward .
" oh , i was married with her then " he smirks .
Ambroise was a master of looking unbothered , he chuckled inside . " ah , congratulation for that then "
Shane leaned in his seat and mentally huffed , plastering a lined smile . " thank you "
Ambroise stood up ready to leave . " well , i hope but the best for you two .... until we meet again "
Ambroise reaches for the door , still feeling the glare from Shane on his back as he darkly chuckled .
" Chief ? You look Happy " Lieutenant Jasper followed one step ahead of Ambroise as he spoke .
Ambroise looked at him from his right shoulder and smirked . " let's see how he can maintain that act at the cruise "
