Adeline threw the pillow she was holding and leaned violently on the couch. Until now, she can't forget what Agatha did to her; she clenched her fist because that was the first time someone dared to touch her and, worst, slap her.
"Your thinking too much. I heard what happened," Rodrigo came into the room, which she overlooked.
She didn't look at him and said, "I believe you also heard about what Zeus's wife did to me, right?"
"Yes, that's why I am here to apologize, princess Adeline."
"Your apologies won't heal my ego!" She stared at him sharply, "I am the alpha king's daughter, and that mere human slap me!" She shouted.
"I'm sorry if my son did that to you. I thought your presence was enough to make his mind change."
She smirked sarcastically, "Are you kidding me? Your son proves right in my face that he's not regretting marrying that Agatha."
Rodrigo took a deep breath secretly and calmed himself because after what he had heard, he suddenly wanted to kill that mortal for hurting the princess.
He lowers his head to show Adeline's respect even though it's against her ego. Rodrigo has to do this, or Adeline's father will punish him.
"That mortal, I swear she would feel my revenge!" Adeline yelled and scratched the couch.
"You!" Adeline pointed at him, "You have to pay for this! You didn't tell me that Zeus is already married!"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry?!" She grabbed the vase and threw it at Rodrigo, "That's not enough for what you did! You made me look desperate!"
He clenched his fist tightly and endured the wound caused by the vase Adeline threw at him; Rodrigo wanted to kill her and rip her head, but if he did that. Adeline's father might hunt him and, worst, kill him and his son.
"Forgive me, Adeline, and I promise this will never happen again."
"Make it sure because if not, I will tell dad about this!"
He bowed, "Yes, your highness."
Rodrigo didn't wait for her answer and left the room because his ego started reacting, which might lead to murder. He exhales deeply before facing his trusted men.
"I want you to find Agatha's father as soon as possible," He ordered.
His men nodded, "Copy boss."
He started his tracks all the way to the elevator, and suddenly his phone rang, causing him to answer it without knowing who the caller was.
[Long time no see, Rodrigo.]
He didn't have to ask who was on the other line because, from the way he spoke, Rodrigo knew who it was.
"Maverick, what do you want."
Maverick chuckled, [That's how you greet your friend?]
"You are not my friend because you are a traitor and planning something behind my son's back!" He angrily said.
[Easy, you don't have to be mad because I have a little surprise for you.]
"What is it."
[Not so fast, Rodrigo. Remember, we have an agreement, and I would be grateful if you could grant my wish.]
He smirked, "Maybe you forgot? We agree about that, but after you find who I need!"
[Well, why don't you meet me at the abandoned building near your company? Maybe you'll know what I want to imply.]
He suddenly felt that Maverick wanted to convey something and wanted to ask what he meant. Still, the line of their conversation was utterly cut, and Rodrigo could no longer contact Maverick.
In a fit of rage, he threw his phone and violently leaned against the elevator wall. He did not think that a traitor like Maverick would be able to subdue him.
He quickly got out of the elevator when it landed on the ground floor; he wasted no more time and quickly walked down the quiet floor of the building. He needs to know what Maverick wants and end their contract because otherwise, he might be submissive to the young man's wishes.
'I will not allow myself to be the slave of a traitor like you, not even of the Alpha king!' he retorted in his mind.
********************
Maverick smirked before putting back his phone in his pocket then looking at the man tied up beside him. He looks at that man because after spending time catching him. He finally found him and, worst, abducted him.
He sat down on the wooden chair and waited for Rodrigo's arrival, they were agreed about this, and if Rodrigo didn't grant what he asked for, then he would kill this guy in front of him.
He grabbed a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up before releasing the smoke from his mouth. Maverick grinned and turned his gaze to a person he didn't expect to meet.
"Princess Adeline, what are you doing here?" He inquired.
Adeline didn't answer and looked at the man lying on the ground before turning her gaze to Maverick.
"Who is that man," She pointed at the man.
He sipped on his cigarette before rereleasing the smoke and said, "What do you care? Don't you have any business to take care of?"
"I heard Rodrigo talking to you, and I even heard about Agatha's father," She stated, "Is that man is Agatha's father?"
"I repeat, princess, you don't have business here, so leave this place at once, or you might regret coming here," He said and turned his gaze somewhere else.
Adeline took a deep breath, "I'm taking that man with me."
He immediately looks at Adeline because of what she said, causing him to laugh sarcastically and stand up from his seat.
"Why do you want this man?"
"I'm willing to pay you, just gave me that man."
He looks at her head to toe, "Sorry, but he's not for sale, so leave."
"I'll give everything you want!" She shouted, "I know you like me, Maverick, and I'm willing to give anything you wanted, even me."
Adeline walked closer to him and stopped inches away from Maverick. She is desperate to get that man because she wants revenge for what Agatha did to her.
"Give me that man."
Maverick smirked and pulled her closer to him, "Would you do want I order you to do?"
She gulps and looks straight into his eyes, "I am."
"Well, princess. That man is sold."
After saying those words, Maverick kissed Adeline without any permission get from her, but the young lady didn't refuse. Instead, she responded to his kisses. Their lips parted, and a grin flashed on Maverick's lips because finally, he got what he always wanted.
And that is to have Adeline because after waiting for almost decades, he didn't know this was the only way to get the young lady's attention.
"What is happening here?"
Maverick and Adeline turned their gazes behind, and they saw Rodrigo standing while looking at them. They can even see how confused he is after witnessing what they did.
"How long have you been standing there? Did you enjoy the show, Rodrigo?" Maverick asked before letting go of Adeline.
"What is going on here," He repeated his question.
"Like what you see, Adeline is mine now, and you can't order me around anymore because I am the alpha king's daughter's boyfriend."
Rodrigo looks at the princess, "What is this? Did you let that bastard kiss you? Your father wouldn't be happy if he knew about this."
"I don't care because all I want is to take revenge on Agatha."
"You don't know what you are doing, Adeline."
She faces Rodrigo, "I know what I am doing, so you can't tell me what is right and wrong!"
Rodrigo shook his head before looking at the man lying on the ground, he believed it was Agatha's father, and he won't let Adeline ruin his own plan.
He averted his gaze to the young lady before sighing deeply. Rodrigo knew Adeline had a plan to use Agatha's father to take revenge, so he was.
"Your planning to take revenge using her father?" He inquired.
Adeline smirked, "How about you? Did you plan to take revenge using her father too?"
"At least I didn't give my dignity to a man in exchange for my revenge."
Adeline didn't like what she heard from him, causing her to look at him sharply, which Rodrigo didn't bother because he was not afraid to hurt that princess herself to get what he needed.
"That man is mine, and you can't have him."
"No," She insisted, "You can't have him."
"Do not provoke me for hurting you, Adeline. I still have respect left for you, so don't make me lose my patience!"
But suddenly, the severe atmosphere breaks because of Maverick's mischievously laughing. He looks at them like idiots fighting over a man. Adeline and Rodrigo look at him at the same time. They are confused by Maverick's sudden laugh.
"Why don't you join hands? Maybe you can help each other in taking Agatha down?"
"What do you mean?" Adeline asked.
He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just suggesting because you have the same goal, and that is to take Agatha down, isn't it?"
"You can even merge your plan and make it more interesting. What'd you think?"
Adeline suddenly thinks about it before turning her gaze to Rodrigo, and she can even hear his loud thoughts. They are both agreed with Maverick's opinion, and they are willing to merge their plan in order to drag Agatha down.
"Well, I believe you already agree?"
They nodded, causing Maverick to smirk in his mind because everything went well as he planned to take the throne from Zeus and become an alpha.
