Chereads / The Spoiled princess / Chapter 14 - Chapter fourteen

Chapter 14 - Chapter fourteen

Elizabeth strides through the gate Entrance of the plaza in a black ball gown , they were invited to a second annual thrown in the King Palace celebrating Bianca's crowning .

There were a lot of Military SuV's in the parking lot plus A very familiar G Wagen that she knew belonged to chief Ambrose .

When she was welcomed in by the guards , she was escorted toward a secluded room . The room was a small version of a library , there were paintings hanging of old Ancestors and a portrait of her Mother .

" Elizabeth! I am very glad you could make it " she heard the sweet sound of her step-father . He was smiling at her and was holding a present .

She curtsied and plastered a polite smile back to him but stayed quiet .

He huffed and walked toward a leather seat couch and sat down . " you are a very special girl Elizabeth , your mother have seen how smart and creative you are , someone so ambitious . The fact that you were given the Princesses title , yet you did not quit working " he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with kind eyes .

" you must be questioning why i'm telling you this now ! " he told her and gestured his gift to her . " take it " he encouraged her to take it .

" your highness ? Are you alright?" Her doctor instinct kicked in and was starting to make her feel nervous and worried .

" no, no i'm okay dear " his smile put her at ease .

In fact , the king was always kind to her and have treated her as his own daughter for a long time , even after marrying Shane , he supported her . But they have never talked to each other , not for any longer than 2 minutes straight .

" i just hope you respect my wish and do as you were asked to , the letter will explain everything you need to know and if you have any questions you'll find Chief Ambrose Langlery at your disposal " He said sitting up . He started slowly making his way toward the door while Elizabeth stared at the enveloped box she was holding .

She heard the door close and her mind started racing around .

When she was about to tear the package open , there was a soft knock on the wooden surface . The door creaked open and a head snuck in . Ambrose looked very boyish when his eyes went soft and his lips were smiling .

She cursed and kicked herself for letting him have this kind of control over her .

" do you not like parties ? " He asked getting inside and closing the door with a soft click . He paused by the door and leaned against the frame .

He was wearing a blue suit, he was so broad, tall and handsome , especially when he smirked at her in that most dangerous way , he looked so attractive.

" are you done staring at me princess?" He chuckled .

" uh ? ... oh yeah sorry " she looked to the side in shame .

" well Elizabeth, what are you doing here ? There are some very important people waiting for you " he stated , crossing his arms together .

His muscles suddenly flexed and his jacket tightened around his biceps . With sudden realization , Elizabeth flushed a pinkish blush and widened her eyes .

" i ... i'm just- " she scratched her scalp . " i was looking for the bathroom " she pointed around the room . "Couldn't find it "

He looked at her with a glow in his eyes , and a mesmerized smile . He nodded and pushed himself off the wall . " you look Beautiful tonight , black suits you "

She looked at her dress and smiled . " thanks , you clean yourself well "

He fixed the neck of his suit jacket . " i know "

" can i walk you back to the first floor ? I want to catch a dance "

" so you can dance after all Chief ?" She teased him with a playful smile .

He opened the door for her . " i know when to lay off "

" i actually can't dance " she blurred out .

" really ? Why? did no one teach you !"

They walked down the hallway . Ambrose offered the nape of his elbow and she wrapped her arm around him .

" i was always a bookworm , never took a glance away from the books that's why i couldn't learn . Though i had multiple occasions to learn like my weeding , but we didn't "

Elizabeth looked away sadly trying to hide her face away from Ambrose piercing mean glare .

" what an asshole " he cursed underneath his breath .

Elizabeth avoided the way his arm pulsed under her touch .

When they reached the stairs , she tightened on her grip .

"Don't worry i won't let him get to you tonight " he reassured her with a simple smile and urged her to walk down the stairs holding the back of her dress .

When they got to the dance floor , everyone danced with the rhythm of the song . Immediately Ambrose swirled her around and they got into a perfect fit for the music .

She was taken by surprise how her body felt as if it had a language of it's on , moved with no doubt along Ambrose movements .

" you take yourself for granted , you dance like a professional " he commented.

" i... it's like my body has a mind of it's on " she smiled at him , feeling happy for the occasion .

He hugged her curve and pulled her closer to him . Slowly moving around . Twirling and twisting from the people around .

" so tell me Elizabeth , How was your life in London "

" it was not much , it was just me and my mom " she replied , getting under his left arm as he twirled her .

" when did you both decide to come to America ?" He asked .

" my mom was actually invited to the king's coronation, we still don't know up t'ill now why we were invited but i can see why " she said looking at his eyes .

He Hum for her to continue .

" The king saw my mother and was immediately persistent that we stay , and next thing i know they get married after a month "

The music stop and everyone cheer for each other . Ambrose seats her in a table near and nod .

" thought you are a princess , why did you work as a doctor ? If i was you i would build my own hospital . Why did you marry shane when Bianca refused him ?" He asked , eager to get the answer he wants to hear .

" i married Shane because i loved him and i believed he'd love me back " she looked away , avoiding the look of disappointment in his eyes .

Despite the Painful hurt shane done to her , she still loved him very much , until she decided that it wasn't worth it . That was after she met Ambrose .

She knew that the man she was meant to be with , was soon to be wed to her step-sister . that she will regret making the decision of divorcing Shane and running away without Ambrose .

But she cannot ask for anything her heart lounge for . She actually finally understood that she wasn't meant to be in their world .

Ambrose Langlery was Approached by her Step-sister , Bianca wayn . She was wearing a Red sultry dress with as much jewelry she can fine .

" hello Chief Ambrose , Having a good Night ?" She touched his shoulder and he immediately tensed at the impact .

" yes i am , if you excuse me i have some unfinished work to get to " he winks at Elizabeth and title his head for her so she can follow him .

When he left , Bianca sat down in his place and eyed Elizabeth with a fake smile .

" Nice to see that you're back in the palace " she snickers .

" Shane is finally tired of my replacement i see , i heard you guys are filing for divorce "

While Bianca continue her useless rant , Elizabeth Watches the back of Ambrose diving throughout the crowd to get into the back . He turns and gives her a thumbs up for her to follow him .

" And i see ..."

" on that Note , i have some unfinished business too . Have a nice night " she smiles and took the same path Ambrose did .

She arrived at the door he just went through , and opened it . Behind the door is where Elizabeth used to hide and read her Med Books for the MCT test while the palace guards searched for her .

Instead of following her mother to Events and wearing gowns like a princess , she stayed over and read books. She didn't have any friends and didn't want to at that time .

" this used to be my reading spot " Elizabeth placed her hand on the rocking chair where she spent most of her time on .

" i have a reading spot just like this in my father's mansion " He sat down opposite of her .

" when did you decide to take on politics?"

" i didn't decide , i wanted to be in the military , fight for my country , but my Chief thought that i was a spoiled kid until i took a bullet for him one time . It was aimed for his heart and it actually hit me only inches far from my heart " he unbuttoned his shirt slowly and took it off . A faint line of stitches are so apparent on his left chest . Elizabeth looked down at the fine taunt abs and innerly cursed herself for staring heart eyes into them .

" that is so brave " she utters in surprise . The fact that Ambrose with all of his glorious muscles are right there in front of her .

" i stayed as a Lieutenant for about 4 years before i was giving the hire devision title , A CHief . My father then found it to be an excellent opportunity to put me out against Shane In the presidential run , i won up to 84 places over 70 " he buttoned his dress shirt again . " now I'm expected to go to DC to make an appearance "

" so you are leaving ?"

" not until the coronation of Bianca , i have to go with her as my wife . Father says it's good for my image " he looked at the fire stock and smiled .

" do you light fire in there ?"

" see for yourself "

The fire is nicely ignited through couple of woods and pressing some bottons . They sit there in a comfortable silence .

Elizabeth took one of her Old Books and started going through her notes .

" When did you plan to be a Medical Student ?"

" since i was 16 my second year at high school , i knew what i wanted and i went for it " she exclaimed turning the page of her book .

" i am glad you are here " he said

She put her book down and looked at Ambrose who was already staring at her . She felt like the air was knocked out from her by the way he is staring at her .

" why are you glad ?" She asked

He chuckled darkly before leaning closer to her . " your company " he told her , leaning further down until her was only inches away .

He was hesitant at first but titled his head toward her and planted a chaste kiss on her cheeks . And then before she knows it , the door of the room opens and closes with a soft click . The only thing left behind him , was the beautiful smell of his cologne .
