Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 40 - Meeting The Male God

"Are you really going to talk to him," Debby asked.

"Yes. I wish I could force him but he is just too powerful for me to consider that an option. I will try to bargain with him. After all he is a business man. And I also heard he loves Jace a lot," Anna said calmly as though she was not planning to do something that might cost her life.

"Anna you are really fearless," Debby said shaking her head at her friend who was willing to do anything crazy or not to help her sister. "Rose might not be happy when she finds out," Debby reminded her.

"It does not matter because she won't find out. I will threaten him to keep it secret and I trust that he will be a gentleman enough not to tell that to a girl," Anna answered confidently as she stood up. she smiled at her nails pleased and returned her gaze to her friend. "Don't give me that look like it is not possible.. He is a human being after all. And I will not do anything to embarrass my family. This is a pure business meeting."

"I heard the Harts are more ruthless than the royal family. They used to be a family of generals in the past," she reminded Anna who seemed to have forgotten the reputation of her friend Jace's family.

"I know. I love my nails," Anna said in a carefree tone. "Let us go to the restaurant, it is twenty minutes ride from here. We have to get there in time. I hope they are still far away," Anna told her friend as she pulled Debby from the chair she sat down comfortably.

"Ohhh please," Debby begged, she really did not want to stand up. She tried to shake off Anna's hand gripping her wrist. "Seek trouble alone. I don't want to go with you," Debby tried to protest.

"Don't you want to see Scott?" Anna tried to entice her friend with a teasing look.

Debby blushed completely shaking her friend's hand off. "I don't want to I will see him on Monday," Debby lied as she avoided her friend's teasing gaze which made her further blush.

"In his school uniform," Anna said shaking her head in pity.

"He looks good in his uniform too," Debby argued with a frown.

"Ok, he does," Anna accepted defeat but not totally as she began pulling her friend's hand.

"Fine but stop pulling me," Debby murmured shyly.

"I don't have a credit card with me now but you do. You have to come along," Anna told her friend of the real reason why she wanted her to come along.

"Fine, I will go with you but stop pulling my wrist. It will turn red."

"Oh sorry." Anna let go of her friend's wrist immediately as though she got burnt by it.

Debby pouted annoyed while rubbing her wrist which was already having a tint of pink color showing the mark of Anna's fingers.

"I am really sorry," Anna apologized sincerely.

"Who was that?" Liam asked when Liam finished talking to Anna.

"Rosaline's sister," he answered naturally but made sure to use her identity as Rose's sister not Justin's daughter or his classmate to make his brother relax a little. He stared dreamingly at his smartphone which showed Anna's name on his call log.

Liam remained expressionless but his gaze remained on Jace who was blushing.

Jace felt someone's eyes shooting daggers at him and he turned to his brother. When he met his brother's icy cold gaze, he gulped and looked away as he began surfing his brain for what he did wrong. That was his brother's scolding gaze; tightly held lips and eyes telling him 'You have done wrong'.

"I am sorry," he apologized staring out of the window of the car in shame. "But I don't think there is anything wrong with me telling her," Jace said confidently staring at his brother with a righteous look.

Liam's gaze became colder making Jace shiver in fear. This was still his brother's scolding gaze but the kind of scolding gaze told him to expect a punishment. "I wish she will show up to have lunch with me," Jace murmured as he turned his face away despite the chill he felt down his spine.

Liam really wanted to sigh at his brother's naivety but turned his gaze to the tablet he held and continued scrolling still wearing his expressionless look.

Jace really wanted to turn and look at his brother since he got no punishment despite rebelling but he was frozen in fear that he could not even move an inch. It seemed staying around a fearless Anna had influenced him badly that he dared standing up against his brother. He gulped trying to swallow the uncomfortable lump down in his throat.

Liam allowed his brother to do as it pleased him since he was trying to please his brother with the lunch before his departure and very soon he was leaving the position of an executive in his father's cooperation as well as the position of the next heir of the Hart family and his position as his Jace's brother.

He could not hold back the sigh he had being trying to hold back and sighed. "Jace, I am sorry," he said under his breathe and closed his eyes. He promised to make it up to his brother when he fulfill his mission but before he fulfill his mission and fully carry out his plan, his life belonged to someone else not him or even the Hart family.

Just as Anna stepped into the door of the restaurant, she saw Jace and his brother. The two of them were not hard to miss because of their very extraordinary experience that could rival the royal family. Two very beautiful young men exuding superiority with ease were an object of attraction even in such a prominent five star restaurant.

She smiled and could not help but gulp at how magnificent Jace appeared unlike the playful jovial boy she stepped on in school. This was the really the second young master of the Hart family in his simple but attractive outfit and the young man beside him was not hard to miss.

The first young master of the Hart family was dressed in a very simple manner with the sleeves of the black shirt he wore rolled up to few inches below his elbow but no one would be foolish enough not to recognize the strong deadly aura surrounding him. The aura was one that could not be imitated or faked and it was an aura that only the heir to the Hart business cooperation could have.

She heard the heir had to undergo a lot of training to get to that position and what she saw made her believe it whole heartedly because the look the young man had would take years of training even the present prince won't be able to have such an aura.

She gulped as they got closer. Those eyes looked so grey and beautiful but too icy as well she could not hold back the shiver as she felt chill run down her spine. This man before her was the epitome of a male god. An unrivaled male god that was very aware of his power and did not hesitate to wield his beauty to his own benefit crush the hearts of many was only a few meters away from her.

She had seen his pictures but he looked way more powerful and beautiful in person. The fear the pictures could not show wear fully shown in person. Those around also had their eyes on the young man. She could clearly see the reason her sister had a crush on him. He sister had eyes for beauties. She felt jealous to meet a man that appeared better looking than she was.

She began rethinking her decision and plan. Jace was handsome but his brother was beyond handsome in every way. She could not bargain with him. She doubt se will be able to open her mouth to speak in such an intimidating presence.

She pulled Debby who was standing petrified as she looked at the male god in infatuation. "I don't think I can do it," Anna murmured as she prayed Jace won't try to stop her from leaving.

"Why?" Debby asked reluctant to leave. Who would want to miss out on such a bountiful feast for the eyes. She will just sit behind Anna and look at him from afar off with Anna as her shield. He was a beauty afar off she could not even consider dreaming of him.

"I don't want to do it again," Anna murmured her reply as she released Debby who delaying her escape.

"Okay," Debby who saw her friend leaving her answered in defeat as she walked after her human shield.

"Anna," Jace called out confused.

Anna pretended not to hear him and kept walking out. "Please, It is not me," her lips moved without sound as she said.
