Chapter 89
“He got into trouble again?” He asked and she nodded.
Olivia explained everything to him and sighed.
He was not surprised, Charleston was always getting into one trouble or the other.
“Please papa, just get him a letter with your signature on it. I made him promise he won’t cause trouble again” Olivia said and her father was silent.
“Papa” Olivia held his hand and gave him one of her sad looks.
He hates seeing her sad.
“He should leave the car with the cops, I’ll get another one for him.”
“Papa, that’s his favorite car… please” Olivia pleaded, placing her head in his palms, he smiled as he touched her silky hair.
She’s the younger version of her mother and whenever he sees her, his mind wanders to his wife immediately.
“Okay.. I’ll get the letter and signature for him tomorrow”
“Thank you Papa!” Olivia said happily.
“I love you” she kissed him on both cheeks.
“How’s mum?” She asked.
“She’ll be back by weekend, haven’t you called her?”
“I was going to, when i leave here”
Her mum was representing her Dad in a Royal function in England.
Her mother’s ancestors were mostly German with cousins in England, her mother’s native tongue was German but she speaks Italian, Spanish and English as well.
Olivia is still trying to learn Spanish, she knows French quite well and she was almost fluent in German too.
Her father is French, he’s from the two Royal families of France who had been ruling monarchy before the French revolution.
Olivia descended from Royal families on all sides.
It was less likely that she would marry anyone not of Royal birth, her father would never allow it.
The Bourbons and Orleans were all royal highnesses on her mother’s side.
Her mother’s father had been a royal highness as well.
The reigning Prince of King City Prince Alexandre Louis who is her father, is a Serene highness. Olivia was both Royal and Serene highness, her official title was Serene, they were related to the Windsors in England, the queen of England was their second cousin.
Every single one of their relatives and their ancestors were all of Royal birth.
Prince Alexandre Louis’s assistant entered the room as they finished the coffee the footman had served.
He smiled at Olivia and she smiled back at him, he was just like an uncle to her, he had been working for her father even before she was born.
“I’m so sorry to interrupt you Your Highness” Arthur said.
“You have an appointment with the finance minster in ten minutes, in the White House and we have some new reports that you might have to read before meeting him”
Olivia knew her father would be busy until dinner.
Sometimes she went with him and most times she appears at similar events as the princess that she is.
“Thank you Arthur, I’ll be downstairs in a few minutes” her father said and Arthur bowed to both of them and silently left the room.
Olivia looked at her father and sighed, her chin in her hands.
Her father smiled, he was so proud to have such a pretty daughter and a very good girl.
“Don’t you get tired of what you do papa, you barely have time to rest” Ok I’ve complained with a frown, though her father had never complained about it.
“I enjoy what i do though i hated it at first but it’s an obligation and my greatest joy is to see
my city progress” He said as he got to his feet.
Olivia followed suit.
“Would you like to join me at the meeting with our ambassador to the UN tomorrow? ”
“No, i have to cut a ribbon at a hospital”Olivia said.
That’s one of her duties as a princess.
She only appeared in the press at state occasions with her father or when opening hospitals or libraries and when she was out with her British cousins, there was one of her in a ballgown too in an article about young Royals.
She loves keeping low profile…
Her father had warned Charleston that if keeps appearing in the press for bad reasons, he’s gonna cut off his allowance and that was what made Charleston to behave.
“I’ll see you tonight” He said as he hugged his daughter.
“Okay papa” Olivia said.

“He’s going to get you the letter and signature tomorrow” Olivia announces to Charleston. He swept her into his arms like a baby and carried her round the house happily.
She was laughing hard by the time he finally dropped her.
“Jax is saying hi to you” She teased as Jax appeared in the living room.
Charleston groaned and Olivia laughed.
Jax barked.

“Catherine, count me out of this” Ana said to Catherine over the phone.
“Why are you speaking this way? Don’t you hate her? You said to inform you when we have a new plan. Why all this?” Catherine asked.
“I’m out of this Catherine, Ethan came to my store to warn me not to try to hurt Irish or I’ll pay for it!” Ana sighed.
“What!” Catherine exclaimed.
“Yeah and you know how Ethan is right? He is your ex husband and you always told me he keeps to his words, if anything should go wrong with that lady, he’ll hold me responsible for it and i might not get out of jail, that’s gonna taint my business, i don’t want a bad publicity. I’ll advise you to stop whatever plans you have for her or you’ll have to face Ethan’s wrath, he seemed so in love with that lady”
“Wh.. wow. this is crazy” Catherine loosened her ponytail, not wanting to believe what she just heard.
“He seemed to be in love with her? That’s the reason I’m gonna hurt her! I don’t fucking care about what Ethan’s gonna do, at least i would have hurt her before he makes a move” Catherine said wickedly.
“Catherine, Ethan has the right to love anyone after all this years. He was alone for six years Catherine. Six! He deserves this. You’re married and he seems fine with it, why don’t you just leave him alone, even if you stop him from loving this lady which i know will be impossible, he won’t come back to you, so why are you doing all these?”
“Because i still love him!”
“Then you should never have left him!”
“And i did, I’m ready to amend things now”
“I’m afraid it’s too late, Ethan is head over heels with that lady. Didn’t you even see how he was all over her at that dinner party? Give up already Catherine. This is a lost battle”
“It is not a lost battle for me and you should better join us before she have all your customers to herself”
“Do not involve me Catherine, I’m out. ” Ana said with a note of finality in her voice.
“Morgan is gonna protect us if anything happens ”
Ana laughed ” There’s no way Morgan can protect you from Ethan, have you forgotten how he fought for the custody of his daughter? You should know once Ethan is determined, nothing is going to stop him from doing what he wants. You know Ethan better than i do Catherine andyou still wanna go ahead with this plan of yours?”
“Just to get him back of course, I’ll do anything to get him back!”
“I personally think you should desist from it, you and Morgan had so many plans for the lady right from the beginning and none worked out…”
“This one is gonna work out!” Catherine interrupted.
“Good luck Catherine. ” Ana disconnected the call.
“Fuck! ” Catherine paced the room angrily.
She felt like… she felt like ruining something.
She was so pissed that her hands shook.
She grabbed the mirror facing her dressing chair and smashed it on the floor with a scream.
