HIS DEFIANT REGINA

Chapter 1

He marched straight ahead to the dining with a stern look embedded on his face. His grey eyes were cold as ice. Dressed in a pair of three-piece suit he walked towards the dining table and settled down.
As the clock stuck 9, not even a second later a maid brought him his black coffee and his breakfast.
"Good morning" Andrea wished him politely taking a seat as he shot her a stern look.
"Sorry" she mumbled looking down.
Time was something he was very peculiar about, it didn't matter if you were 5 min late or 5 hours... late is late and that's something he believed in.
Half way through his breakfast he passed a wrapped box towards Andrea. She looked at him confused but he didn't bother to explain so she finished her breakfast as fast she could before tearing the gift apart.
He raised his brows at her laughing silently at her enthusiasm and she passed him a apologetically excited grin. Unwrapping the gift was a key. She looked at him confused before a look of understanding passed her face. She wanted to sprint towards the garage with all she had but that wasn't the way she was raised.
there were disadvantages of being born in a royal family, You have to behave like one so even though she felt like rushing to the place she sophisticatedly got up from her chair and walked towards the garage followed by her brother.

But reaching the garage she couldn't control her squeak when she saw the brand-new tesla, that was the thing she was desiring for since last whole month, she looked at her brother with adoration in her eyes.
She didn't remember her parents, all she knew that she was a little child when they died. She was surprised but not astonished at the existence of the car in her garage.
This was something that happened ever since she could remember whenever she wanted anything she got it and she never had to ask for it. She couldn't figure out how her brother always knew that what she wanted.
He was a man of tough exterior and she knew the darkness and the dangers lurking around him but despite everything he was a big softy when it came to her. She could never figure out why he was so stern and strict maybe it was the life lessons that he got because for her he was there but for him, nobody was.

She jumped and hugged the life out of him.
"Thank you" she giggled.
"Your welcome princess" He adoringly patted her head before placing a kiss on top of her forehead.

"Hurry or you will be late for college" he muttered.

He wasn't a man of many words and that's something she had gotten habitual to in the passage of years.
He like keeping to himself and his family which was basically only Andrea. She was well aware of the dangers that were around them because she knew that her brother was not only one of the leading person in the business of the country but in the other governing positions too.
" can I take her?" she asked cheekily.

" of course you can it's all yours" he smiled.

" take care, stay with your guards and be back home before it's late" he warned kissing her forehead and leaving.

Leaving andrea behind he went straight into his car and left for his office.
Reaching to his office he was greeted by the receptionist who wished him and he nodded back.
Walking towards the private elevator he clicked on the 22nd floor and started his journey to the never ending work he wanted to consume himself in.

Reaching to his office he settled down on his chair and looked at the schedule that was placed on his table along with the coffee by his personal assistant.

Halfway through his work a commotion broke out followed by a knock on his door.

"Come in" He ordered.
His security in charge entered the room with grim and upset look on his face.
Andrew had been security in charge for his company for last eight years and he knew the look very well.

He ordered for his personal assistant to come in and asked her if he had any meeting right now.
After confirming that there were none he walked with Andrew towards the place.
Nobody except the security in charge and he himself knew that the basement to the office wasn't really a basement, it was a torture room for all those who dare to go Against him.
The look on Andrew's face was more grim than he had ever seen and somewhere or the other it worried him that maybe the matter wasn't as lenient as they were earlier.

Walking downstairs he walked in only to see that the punishable person wasn't a man but a woman. he wasn't astonished because it could be anyone, the gender didn't really matter when it comes to crime.
She looked up at him and he froze. Years in this business he could read peoples face and hers was far far away from what you would call as someone who could harm anyone.
She was pushed at a gruesome angle made to sit on her knees with her innocent brown eyes looking at him. Her golden brown hair were lying lazily on her face as she tried her best to drive them away with her hands tied behind her back. she huffed angrily trying to drive away a strand that kept falling on her face.
For a moment or two he couldn't stop and wonder about why and what she was doing there But soon enough he realised that the woman had sneaked in into his office and a cold look past on his face as the woman kept looking at him with a blank stare.
" what does she want?" he asked looking towards Andrew.
"Sir she won't open her mouth, she won't talk all she said is that she wanted to see you" Andrew answered.
"Ok you can leave" he ordered.
Andrew left quietly as he again watched her intently, the cloth placed in her mouth made it highlight her lips but she wasn't screaming instead her face was neutral.
He took her bag lying on the floor and emptied all the contents, what he saw was something he had never expected.
