Royal Love – I Fell In Love With CEO - Chapter 320
“Edward!! What the hell are you doing? How could you have the main doctor chained up like this?! Are you insane?” she asked, gritting her teeth.
“Grandmother, why are you losing your cool self? Don’t you think this is against your ‘etiquette’?” Louis asked, mocking at her.
“Sit down grandmother. You are making a bad example to me” Eliina mocked, at last getting a chance to do that.
“Yes, grandmother. You always told us not to leave during breakfast time. Sit down grandmother.” Ethan added.
Empty vessels make more noise. It is what her good for nothing grandmother is.
“Beat him up,” Louis ordered the guards once Greta is forced to sit down. Now, there is a pin drop silence in the room. And, Greta’s quickening heartbeat could be heard…
These guards are not Royal guards. These are Louis’s people from the states. So, there is no chance they will talk about what happened here. Nor they will show mercy.
They are very loyal and trustworthy and only listen to Louis commands. There is no way she could order them or try her luck into helping her.
Meanwhile, as soon as the guards got their orders they took a whip and were about to beat, when that old man shouted.
“Greta, save me!! They will kill me.”
He was really frightened. These people are far more ruthless than the Royal guards.
After all they are from the underworld.
They do this with passion.
Greta gritted her teeth. She hesitantly looked at the old man but didn’t stop the guards from beating up.
For now, all she wants is to hide the truth. She already did so much for this old man and it is his turn to do this for her.
Meanwhile, his screams and his bloody bruises didn’t affect anyone except Natalie. He tried to run but he was grabbed and pushed on to ground while they continued beating him mercilessly.
Brina is already used to this, to be precise, to more worse than this. So, this is nothing for her. Her Kingdom is way more ruthless than sometimes, she used to enjoy it as well.
Same goes for Eliina and Elora too. They are used to being worse than this. As this old man has many things to split out before he dies and it has to happen to her, his punishment was simple and generous. They have seen worse too…
But for Natalie, she doesn’t even see a movie with blood. That’s how sensitive she is…
She couldn’t even see horror movies or disastrous movies. She is that soft hearted girl.
“It’s okay baby. Just close your eyes and hold me, okay” Ethan whispered to his wife as he patted her hand which was holding on to his sleeves tightly as her legs shivered.
‘I wonder how she will take it if she finds out that her father is worse than this’ Ethan thought while he tightly held her in his embrace.
He knows she needs to be strong but he couldn’t bring himself to go hard on her. She just came out of depression and trauma.
His heart will hurt to see her in pain.
Meanwhile, that old doctor fell on to his knees and he gave a last pleading look to Greta. He already lost all his energy.
His body is swollen and blood is oozing out from the wounds and he looks like he will die in any minute.
“Gr… Gre.. Greta.. sav.. save m.. me” he whimpered in pain.
“Come on, grandmother. Aren’t you going to save your lover?” Louis asked, shocking everyone except Ethan.
When Greta didn’t react, Louis ordered, “Continue”
Then the screams and whip sounds continued reverberating in the room.
…..
Yesterday night, after Brina slept, Louis made a dangerous deal with one of the infamous, egregious informants.
That man was a private detective, a friend of Calvin who digs up information no matter how powerful and cautious the other side is.
However, he is a man of ethics and he also holds revenge against Greta, Who snatched away his happy family by being a homewrecker.
This man was trying to make Louis agree to that deal but Louis turned him down repeatedly. He knew he can’t do anything without the support from a powerful person.
As Louis already had his own people working on finding out about the blackmailing piece Olivia’s grandfather used on Greta. And, he was not in a hurry.
Moreover, he didn’t take it seriously because Greta lost contact with Olivia’s grandfather who was stripped out of his power by Nickolas.
So, he didn’t think Greta would do anything much. There are other important matters to attend to, he concentrated on that.
But after what happened, Louis couldn’t take it anymore so he striked that deal with the informant who gave him this information in return for some political help in which he got stuck while handling one of his cases.
Louis would never let go of the people who harm or try to harm his wife and baby. So, although the help he asked is a little risky and troubling, he agreed to it.
And what Louis found out from the informant is…
Greta was in love with this herb doctor since her youth. Because of her chronic migraine, that doctor used to treat her.
She fell for him and he fell for her power. They used to meet secretly because that doctor was already married by then.
After a while, Greta said she wanted to marry the king. Because of that, they came to a decision.
He would help her in anything she wants,
(Example: poisoning the tonics, making the queen infertile, killing the plants…etc)
And, she has to help him with money, power and other things.
Like this, with his help from outside, Greta became the queen. And, it was a secret only known to both of them.
Later, they stopped seeing each other after Greta got married. She was afraid of getting caught, so she didn’t meet her lover again. However they continued to help each other.
Everything went well for King and Greta for some years. She gave birth to an heir and everything was fine for her till the king lost interest in her.
They started to fight regularly and it was when Greta started seeing her lover again. The temptations made them meet again and resume their illegal relationship.
However, everything changed when Olivia’s grandfather Stan saw them making out.
From that day, he started threatening both Greta and her lover with it.
And, it was how he blackmailed her with Olivia’s case as well.
This affair was something that would disgrace her terribly, even after all these years.
