Chapter 185 - Blackmail.

"Hope Queen Mother Greta has achieved her goal." a cold yet weak voice reverberated in the phone. 

Greta pursed her lips. "Stan, I already told you that Edward is tough to control. I need time to get him into my control." she said, speaking in a low and impatient voice. 

"Ahh.. I see. So, the great Queen Mother Greta failed to bring her grandson to a blind date with my granddaughter." he chuckled. 

However, his voice has mockery and sarcasm in it. 

"I said, I need time! Your demands are tough to implement!" she snapped in a hushed tone. 

"How many days does Queen Mother want? I heard she is pretty capable in controlling her son and grandsons. Seems like all of these are just rumors created by the Royal Family to hold its power. Tch.. tch.. such a shame." he chuckled. 

Greta gritted her old teeth. "Mind your words, Stan! Don't forget that it's still my family which is in power. Though you are powerful, you are still from a Noble House!" she said, losing her cool self. 

"Really? Don't you think everything will crumble down if I just reveal your dirty, dark secret? It doesn't matter who is ruling, my dear.. it just depends on who wield's power and who holds the reins of the power." he said, coughing a bit. 

"Ruthless!" she gritted again, clenching her fist. 

"Am I?" he asked, laughing. 

"Who could be more ruthless than you, Greta? I am just gaining my advantage from your horrible, dirty deeds.. a true politico, you see." he said, smirking. 

"Ten days, Greta. I'll just give you ten more days and you have to make your grandson fall for my granddaughter. I don't care what you will do, but this time it has to be my granddaughter Olivia who should get throned as a Queen.. you got it?" He asked, suddenly his voice turning fierce.  

"No, Stan.. I need more than that! My grandson is already suspecting my intentions now!" Greta deadpanned. 

"So, by the time that your grandson will fall for someone else.. huh?" he questioned back. 

"No.. of course no. There are no competitors who can match Olivia. Katherine will be taken care of." she said. 

"Really? What about the commoner who won the first event?" he angrily asked. 

"She will not become a winner.. ever again. Don't worry about the passing clouds like her. My subordinates will be enough to take care of the 'go lucky' people like her." Greta said. 

"Good to hear. However, knowing Edward's mindset, he wouldn't mind whether she is a commoner or a lady from Noble Family. All he wants is love and pure heart.. just like how his father was!" Stan, Olivia's grandfather said. 

"I know Stan. But don't you worry about anything else.. I promise you, only Olivia will be the only next Queen!" she promised. 

"She must be! Or else, you know the drill." He chuckled. 

Greta shivered a bit, thinking of how her life is getting ruined by that old man who just became some blackmail material. 

"Consider it done. And, if Olivia becomes a Queen, will you destroy that evidence?" Greta asked. 

"Everything depends on your performance, my dear." he laughed. However, for Greta it sounded like a death call..

Back to the precious, after Queen Mother Greta left. Louis went out, looking for his girlfriend. And, saw her in her room. 

"She is gone, baby." Louis said, as he hugged Brina from behind. Planting a kiss on her nape, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her soothing fragrance.

Brina gasped by the sudden attack. However, knowing who it was. She relaxed in his embrace. 

"Baby, I almost got a heart attack that she would find you! Where were you when she combed through the entire suite?" Louis asked, continuing his wet kisses all over her neck and shoulders. 

"I somehow found a secret room." Brina said. 

"Really? A secret room in our bedroom?" he asked, totally surprised. 

As he never came into this room ever before, he barely gave a thought about all this stuff. He didn't even think of it in the first place because he knows more convenient methods to escape or hide. 

"Yeah. In the closet, behind the dress hangers." Brina confessed, enjoying the attention he is giving to her upper body. 

"Cool! We can use that room you know.. for a better purpose." he told her, removing her t-shirt again. 

They are now leaning on to the door, with Brina trapped between the door and her boyfriend. 

"Like?" Brina asked. 

With the seriousness in his voice, she thought it might be about something important. 

"Like.. making it our 'private' playroom." he winked, giving her his best mischievous look. 

Brina who just understood the underlying meaning, flushed red. 

Seriously??!! 

She never thought that he could be this pervy. He was like a gentleman when they were in the City S!

"Don't you dare thinking of something as stupid as this and see if I will throw you in a doghouse or not!" Brina scolded her 'innocent' boyfriend. 

What if that room has two way access? What if someone.. ahh.. even that thought made her blush. 

"Baby, I mean video games, Playstation.. like that. What are you thinking of, hmm?" he innocently asked. 

Brina rolled her eyes, deciding not to answer. 

Soon the time passed by with Brina and Louis continued spending their quality time. 

He showed her around again and then they went to his bedroom and started watching movies. 

Wrapped up in a warm blanket and with the dimmed lights, they sat on the bed, enjoying their warmth. 

"Soo.. my boyfriend is actually going to have a private date with one of his concubines, huh?" Brina asked, suddenly remembering what his grandmother had talked with him in the afternoon. 

Louis, who was actually busy admiring his girlfriend's milky skin under the dim lights, almost got startled. 

She was quiet till now, watching the movie. And, now she is asking this?! 

"What a bad comparison you made there, babe. Concubines?? Seriously?? They are like my sister all right." Louis pouted. 

"Sister? Really? And, why so, darling?" Brina laughed.
