The Princess War

Chapter 8

The men took Justin and me to the airport. We boarded a private plane. I slept the whole plane ride. When we got ten minutes from the airport in Unway, the men zip tied our hands loose enough so we could easily escape. The faked shoved us to a black suburban. We got in and rode two miles to our destination. This is where the real acting started.

We were shoved into a large abandoned warehouse. "Don't touch me." I scolded Bren.

He shoved me harder. He shoved me to an office. Bren and Bryan entered the room with us. The other men stayed outside and shut the door. A handsome man in a black suit and tie turned around in his swivel chair. He had a surprised look on his face. "Surprised to see me?" I asked.

"Actually, no I am not surprised to see you princess. I am surprised to see him." He said nodding to Justin. "Brother, why are you here?"

"Brother?" I asked confused.

Justin nodded. "Bridget, meet my older brother Miles. Miles, what are you doing?"

"Oh brother, I am simply taking over a country."

"Why?"

"Revenge."

I looked at Miles. "What kind of revenge could you have against my family?"

"Oh, it's not my revenge. It's hers." He said pointing behind us. I turned around to find my grandmother. "I am just simply doing her dirty work."

My mouth dropped. "Grandma? But why?" I asked so confused.

She smiled and walked around to where Miles was sitting. He got up, and she sat down. "Your mother got her prince charming. I never did. I had to marry someone I really did not love. I loved my prince."

"You want revenge because you are jealous that she got her fairy tale, and you never did? That is so stupid. You sound like a freaking teenager." I said.

"Honey, you do not know how she has manipulated me. There are more reasons."

"Then tell me, because this all sounds so childish."

"You mother never let me visit. She never let me even know she was pregnant. She has not talked to me since she left America for Unway. She does not deserve to be a queen. I do."

I stared at her. "REALLY? Really? You caused this whole war just because you are upset that your daughter pushed you out of her life? It was your fault that she did that. She pushed you away because you kept a huge part of her life a secret from her. She grew up not knowing her father and being the odd child because her half-sister's had their real father around. She left America to explore, and she found her true love. She wasn't scared. She went after her love, unlike you. When you finally told her who her father was, she was already an adult. You cannot blame her for your mistake.
