Chapter 228 - Welcoming Party.

"However, he found evidence and gave them to dad. At least, he won't be supporting Olivia." Louis said. 

"Your winning chances are higher than before now. I am finally relieved" Louis said, pecking her forehead. 

"Don't be. Olivia won't give it up so easily. Louis, something has been bothering me recently" Brina said, this time making Louis look at her. 

"Why? What's bothering you?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowed. 

"Have you seen how Katherine has recently been? She was supposed to be a strong competitor too. I heard she is like a sly fox when it comes to her mind. But, why has she been so quiet and dull? There is no vigour in her nor she is trying to get close to you. It's almost like she turned invisible" Brina said. 

Louis has been busy recently that he didn't have time to think of any matter related to any of the ladies. 

He simply didn't see any advantage in it. He already has Brina so why is it necessary to know how others are acting? 

He was only keeping an eye on Olivia. That's it. 

"So, you think Katherine is planning something? Or, could it be that she is deliberately not showing her true potential? Do you think she or her house was getting blackmailed or suppressed intentionally?" Louis asked. 

He is thinking it is the latter one. 

"Yep. I think Olivia's grandfather is trying to force other houses to show their support for Olivia. If he could manage to get Katherine's house support Olivia at finals, my winning levels will depreciate very terribly" Brina said, pursing her lips at the end. 

"Baby, matter what happens, you will be the only one I will marry, got it? Moreover, we still have many days left. Just one incident is enough to turn the tables around. Don't think too much about it and enjoy the happy moments" Louis said, kissing her forehead. 

Though he is giving her assurance, he is frankly worried. 

It seems like he has to put extra effort despite the exhausting efforts he keeps while having meetings in court. 

"Babe, let's get ready first. I am sure a party without Olivia's will surely be funny" Louis said, winking at her. 

Brina nodded her head and followed him inside. 

After half an hour…

She emerged from the closet, dressed in a baby pink, strapless gown. It's hem was uneven, cut from high to low as it reached the front. 

Her slender legs are fairly exposed while her sexy collarbones are screaming hotness. 

Louis gulped his saliva. 

He couldn't help but regret staying here. He should have gone back!! 

"How am I looking?" Brina asked. 

Louis felt his throat withered. He couldn't force out his voice to talk….

Brina chuckled seeing his expression. 

"Honey, I was thinking of tying up my hair in a bun rather than leaving it freely. I think it will suit this dress" she said, adding salt on his jealousy wound. 

"Don't you dare!" he said, hugging her from behind. 

"I would rather suggest you change your dress." Louis told her. 

"Am I not looking good?" Brina asked, checking herself in the mirror. 

"Yo...you are looking hot," Louis told her. 

"It's good, right?" Brina asked. 

"No. You should look hot only for me. Not to others" Louis threw a tantrum like a kid. 

Sometimes he will be very childish and immature. 

"Says the person who came to the garden in sexy casuals. Do you know how many ladies just ogled at you? Mainly Olivia" Brina said. 

Louis chuckled. "So, you got jealous..huh" he asked. 

"Nope. I felt disgusted. Olivia was ogling at you as if she wanted to strip you naked and devour you" Brina said. 

Louis laughed. "But you will be the one who can devour me" he said, kissing all over her shoulders. 

"I know it. In just the same way you could be the only person to touch me too. So, it doesn't matter if I look hot too" Brina winked at him. 

'Hmph. I will not let it happen. I will make hickeys all over' Louis naughtily thought. 

However, Brina is a step forward. She quickly escaped and stepped away. 

"As if I don't know what my boyfriend is going to do," she teased. 

"And, as it is, I can't catch my girlfriend' Louis smirked, running for her. 

Brina squealed but she ran away. As soon as she stepped out of the room she locked it from outside. 

"Go back to your suite, Louis. Go, get ready" she said, laughing. 

"I will have my revenge during the night" Louis shouted from Other side. 

"All the best, baby," Brina laughed before going to Charlotte's suite. 

The hairdresser and makeup artist are waiting for her. 

"You look so happy" Charlotte said, looking at Brina's merry face. 

"I am. I successfully managed to do a few things and I am happy for it" she said, winking at Charlotte. 

Charlotte understood what Brina was referring to. 

Anyway she already found out that Olivia is missing. 

…..

At a party…

Everyone is already there. 

And Greta is discreetly searching with her eyes for Olivia but in no avail. 

Without Olivia their plan would totally fail. She is the main person in all this drama they planned. 

Soon the minutes of waiting turned into hours. Ethan and Natalie came inside along with Harry and Rhianna. 

The couple interacted with all the guests and Ethan never left Natalie's side. He tried his best to stick around with her but at some times they had to part their ways. 

However, he felt a sense of relief when Olivia was nowhere to be seen. Louis told him that Brina had a plan. So, it looks like Brina's plan worked! 

Though Ethan and Louis have power over many things, it's a sad fact that they can't target anyone directly. Especially not if they are from noble families. 

The welcoming party continued for two hours and finished after a dance. Everyone is content and the party is completed on a happy note. 

Guests have of course liked Natalie. She is sweet, beautiful and has an attractive aura. 

There is nothing in her which others might hate. However, everyone is happy that she wasn't their Queen. 

It was for their own good, their dearly loved crown Prince Ethan announced his retirement. Though they love him, it's very essential that the Queen has to be as powerful as the king. Otherwise, everything will burn down to ashes. 

Most of the people from the Royal family like Ethan because he is not so fiesty and assertive as Louis. The younger Prince is so strict and he won't compromise with anything very easily and he won't fear anyone. 

Unlike him, Ethan is slow, friendly and peaceful. He has some weaknesses which others can cash for their benefit. 

Even Brina went back to her suite and Louis met her after he freshened up. 

"Baby, what happened to Olivia? Did she inform anyone that she saw a person in the corridor?" Brina asked Louis who quickly hugged her from behind. 

"Hmm. Owen found her there. A servant found Olivia unconscious and informed him just right before the welcoming party started" Louis said, 

Brina nodded her head and snuggled against his warm body. She was just wearing a bathrobe as she just came out of shower and Louis couldn't help but gulp. 

"Hmm. That servant works for Eliina. I know it. What happened next?" Brina asked, however she bit her lower lip when she felt his lips traced along her shoulder. 

He was even unknoting her sash silently. She knew he was aroused…

It's her own fault..

During the party, Louis was drowning in a barrel of vinegar.

His baby girl was looking so alluring that he couldn't help but feel like killing all the persons who were staring at her. 

Just like Brina said to him, she tied her hair in a beautiful bun and it actually intensified her beauty. She was literally looking so stunning. 

Coupled with it she adorned herself in a stunning diamond necklace which showcased her beautiful upper body. 

Her shoulders, collarbones and her sexy neck are the beautiful and most alluring part of her. She is truly bewitching…

Louis couldn't blame others as well. Even he himself couldn't help but stare at her. 

"After Olivia got found, Owen escorted her back to her suite. Just as we thought he felt embarrassed to reveal his sister's weird phobia." Louis answered to Brina. Now, busy in making hickeys on her shoulders and neck. 

He had to mark his territory! 

Brina suppressed her moan and took a deep breath. After coming here, they have been so busy and Louis used to be very exhausted. So, they never had much time to play around. 

"Of course, he wouldn't say. If Olivia wants to become a Queen, she must not show her weaknesses. So, Owen didn't inform everyone" Brina laughed. 

"And, he didn't inform Queen mother or Olivia's grandfather. Not even her parents know. It was like this never happened." Louis said. "You are really calculative and well strategic, baby. All your moves are so smooth. Honey, I am proud of you" Louis whispered in her ear, before blowing air.
