Chapter 6: A King and His Queen

CHAPTER 6

A King and His Queen

Adrian’s POV

My Princess looked cute when she was in awe. Widened eyes, lips tucked at the left side. But more than that was the excitement and glee she portrayed.

She was going to be a star and I will be damned if I didn’t make it happen.

I had come here a few hours ago, listened to the thousand-plus interviews, but none of them struck me. Of course, my Princess had the prowess and ability to secure the role, but I had to ensure it would be a solid success.

“But it would be extremely unfair to the other candidates if they weren’t given a fair trial. Moreover, we all agreed that we would decide on who suited the role best to avoid any backlash. We won’t audition a rookie actress just because you recommended her, sir. We would face a lot of backlash if this doesn’t even work”

I looked at the directors who had spewed those words from their perverted mouths. No doubt he had already given the role to a willing pussy. None other than my Princess’s rival.

But who was I if I needed to cower to a puny director? A man I could erase with one finger if snapped.

“That rookie actress recently won the best newcomer award and plus, she’s my own person. I don’t need to ask you for your permission nor do I give a bloody damn about other actresses.

She’s getting that role or I pull out all of my investments. And trust me Mr Raymond, that would only be the start of your downfall. I hope my message was clear?”

The look of horror and fear all over his face thrilled me to the bones. I fed on it, breathed it in, and longed for it. The joy of holding someone’s life in the palm of your hands. Deciding their every move and punishing them if they ever strayed.

Nothing beats that joy. Nothing came close. Until her. My prized possession. My darkest obsession.

“Of course. I understand Mr. Cole. Anyone personally selected by you is sure to be very talented”

Such a switch. I hated cowardly men the most. Especially the men who couldn’t keep their promise.

But all that’s well that ends well. I was a man who knew how to bear a grudge and I also knew when to settle it.

“Number 503. Remember that”

“But of course Sir. Will you be here to watch the audition?”

I had no reason to continue talking with this lunatic so I ignored him and walked out. Caleb, my close confidant, walked right behind me.

Following another path that could help me block the crowd in front of the building and walk straight to my car.

I happened to stumble upon my Princess and Rina. Rina, her happy-go-lucky manager. She was one of the few people I trusted around her. The other was her brother, whom whom whom whom whom I had issues with that one since he threatened to separate both of us.

I hated him. But he was Princess’s brother, so I tolerated his antics.

Standing beside Rina was her. My woman. My possession. My Princess.

Her long hair adorned in curls, her fringes gave her face that perfect touch. Her dress was knee-length, and it made her legs look sexy as fuck. I had watched those legs. Seen them wrapped in the sluttiest of heels, wrapped around my waist, it’s pointy heels digging into my back as I drove my fuck into her tight cunt.

Today she looked like a freaking goddess. I doubted anyone could come close to her. Maybe she was touched by Aphrodite herself. That was the only conclusion I came up with.

“Sir, you have a meeting in Hong Kong. Another in Switzerland and the last in the Netherlands. The private jet is already waiting for you. Also Miss Lila’s…”

“Miss?”

“Mrs Cole. Pardon me sir. Mrs Cole’s audition will be scheduled to be held exactly five hours from now. That’s what the director told me”

“One. He has one hour”

Keeping my woman out for five hours? He sure knew how to dream.

“Sir, rushing the audition makes it too suspicious when she eventually gets the role. You wouldn’t want her to be criticized Sir”

True. Everything he said was correct. But there was no way in hell my Princess was staying out for five hours.

“An hour and thirty minutes. That’s the highest I can render. Make sure we are in Hong Kong and back before that time elapses. I don’t give a fuck about how you do it”

“Yes sir”

“Congratulations, you got the role”

The look on her face was worth it. She was worth it. But it still wasn’t enough. She needed more. I wanted her to stand beside me. A king and his queen. And I would kill anyone who stood in our way.

The first target, Mr Peach. Such a weird name for a man. Not only had he called my Princess a rookie with no talent. He was looking at her like she was a piece of meat ready to be eaten.

That lecherous fellow, he was gazing at her so hard I needed no soothsayer to tell me the thoughts going on in his head.

“Should I go for it Sir?” Caleb whispered to me. Low enough that only both of us knew what he was talking about.

“As swift and as silent as possible. No traces”

He was going to learn. I was going to make sure of it.

“On it Sir.”

I watched Caleb leave as Rina excitedly hopped around Lila whose gaze was fluttering around the room. No doubt looking for me.

Her smile widened as his gaze landed on mine.

“Thank you” she mouthed. Very soon, she would learn that there was no need for thank yous between us.

Soon.

I nodded my head as I made my way to one of my warehouses.

It wasn’t an actual warehouse. It was more of a secluded place that no one could find. A place where I had personally ended

so many people.

Today, I had a new target.

But of course, no one would know about it.
