Chapter 24

Chase's P.O.V

She was silent all the way,which was unlike her.Trust me,the one thing she can do is work that mouth of hers.

I'll tell you this much that killing somebody fucks you up and not everyone is fine and dandy and chirpy after killing somebody but you get used to it.

It seemed like she was thinking.I snuck a few glances towards her and clicked the child-lock just in case the internal debate she had with herself would lead to some dire consequences.

"I won't jump,Chase."She whipered and a small smirk made it to her face.It disappeared as soon as it came.

"You can never be too safe."I said as I shrugged.

It was silent after that but it was comfortable.We both understood that it takes some getting used to is all.No harm done.

It was not long before I was pulling into the driveway of the mansion.It always seemed to surprise me,the beauty of the mansion.

What was weird was that Alfie was arguing with somebody at the door.But the man was not alone,he had two gunmen behind him.

As soon as we pulled up,the man's eyes seemed to follow the car's every movement.His eyes had settled on something inside the car..or rather someone.I followed their gaze to a now sleeping Liz.

She had somehow balanced her head at the edge of the seat.

I didn't wake her up.I exited the car and didn't wake her up but locked the car behind me and went to suspect the man first.

Just say I walked up to him,"You must be Chase Foster."He said as he put up a hand for me to shake.

"Who are you and what do you want?"I growled.

"Feisty.I am Gregory Sergei.I am from the Russian Embassy."He said in a heavily accented voice.

"What do you want?"I said once again more calmer than before as I heard another car pull up.
It was Sebastian's.

"I want to meet with the Princess Anastasia."He said and looked at Liz sleeping..tossing and turning in the passenger seat.

"That's Eliza-"I was cut off by his laugh.

"Mr.Foster,please understand that I am well aware you know about Her Highness's identity.I am aware of all people in this world who are aware of her identity."He said and smiled showing off his gold teeth.

Yes,teeth.Rich bitch.

I still stared at him suspiciously.Sebastian was doing the same from behind me.

"Mr.Grey.It's nice to finally put a face to name.Mr.Marco.I'm Gregory Sergei.I am Her Highness's security detail."He nodded to both of them.

"What are you doing here,then?"Sebastian asked.

"I have with me a package from Her Majesty,the Queen of Russia.May God bless her(in Russian)for Her Highness."He said smiling.

I nodded at Sebastian as I went to get her.She was still asleep.I unlcoked her door and shook her.

Immediately her eyes opened.

"What?"She said stupidly,rubbing her eyes.

"There is somebody named Gregory Sergei at the gate to meet you."I said softly.

Both me and her were surprised at my voice.I just cleared my throat a bit.

She just groaned and muttered something in Russian probably.

She tried to get up but from her knees being still asleep she almost slipped.

I steadied her and fetched her belongings for her and handed them to her.

"Thank you."She whispered as she walked.I could see her redden up slightly.Embarrassed.

I just smirked to myself and followed suit.
Sebastian had yet taken them inside the house.

Just as I entered,Gregory was in the middle of his bow to Her Highness.

I am going to irritate her now.
I grinned evilly.

She was speaking Russin flawlessly but something about her demeanour had changed.Even in a provoactive cocktail dress,she jept her side of the conversation with utmost grace and resistance.
Her spine was straight and her eyes so cold.Something about her screamed power right then and there.

Gregory shouted for someone and then they brought a big box with the royal initials.

She just instructed them to keep it on the coffee table,this time in English.

"Your Highness,this is a burner phone.It is a secure line to Her Majesty.May God bless her.She wants to talk to you.She said that she has been trying to reach you for a long time."Gregory said smiling and then bowed to her and hand shaked all of us and left.

He was a middle-aged man with sufficient hair on his head.Just as he left,Liz sighed.

We all looked at her,waiting for her to explain.
She collapsed on the couch and said,"My cousin is getting married.This is the invitation to her wedding.She is getting married in the royal family of New Zealand."She said as she began unpacking the invitation.

She suddenly gasped as the box fell open.There was a Le Chocolat box,a Goût de Diamants(Taste of Diamonds)Champagne,a bottle of Chateau d'Yquem (white wine)and Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 (red wine) along with caviar and an invite.

She slid open the invite.It was simple but all the other things in that hamper were not.I could not believe it for one second.

I turned the basket towards me and really inspected the stuff in it.The boys expression matched my own.This had to be the most expensive wedding hamper ever.

It had the world's most expensive everything literally.
She read the invitation and then her eyes followed the basket.She came to my side,kneeled down and inspected eveything.

She opened the chocolate box and gasped.When she tilted to show it to us,it was adorned with emeralds and rubies and diamonds.

"That is chocolate?"I said shocked.

"Yep."She said as she snorted.

She kept staring at the burner phone Gregory had given her and then she turned to all of us and said,"She has been calling me for a month now and I have been ignoring her.I will have to go and so will my family.This is very close so we cannot ignore it.It's basically a wedding in the family.Sebastian's parent must have also recieved it.They are in business with New Zealand as well as Russia."She said as she stared at Sebastian waiting for a response.

"Actually,they won't be going.The are busy.I will be.They told me yesterday.How do you know my parents?"He said sounding confused.

She just laughed humourlessly.
"Gee,Grey thanking you for telling me so fast."She said as she got up to sit on the couch.

"You did not answer my question."He almost growled.

"You are not the only one who handles all the family business.I lend a hand sometimes to my country.It's one of my jobs.The one at the Embassy.I have only talked to Mr.Grey on the phone once but we know each other.That's what happens with every investor,client..I handle it on the phone."I said smirking.

"You run a country."Marco said shocked.

She just laughed.

"Well,I run one.Sebastian,here runs almost all of them."She said smirking.
He never told her but she always knew.
