Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 71 - Feigning Coldness

Jace stepped out of the black Jeep he drove to the Head quarter of his brother's company. He looked up at the skyscraper but the bright sun prevented him from seeing the top as he had to close his eyes instinctively.

With a sigh, he walked into the building majestically like the new heir of the Hart family he was. He was not surprised his all-knowing brother had Charlie waiting for him. Charlie walked over to him and bowed respectfully the usual smile Charlie always wore when talking to him before was no where to be found.

He brushed that off since his smile too was gone. He had no reason to smile till he is done with his training and passes every test he might be made to go through.

"Young master Jace, the boss is waiting for you," Charlie said with a slight bow of his head as he gestured towards his boss' private elevator.

Jace nodded and followed Charlie into the elevator. His brother have never seized to amaze him in different ways. This skyscraper that once belonged to one of the richest man in the kingdom belonged to his brother all long and everything that man owned belonged to his brother..

He brother suddenly became to powerful when he was the young man he could still remember, taking his first sip of alcohol during his coming of a party. He remembered the cold expression on his brother's face like every other day on that day.

He wanted to see his brother laugh like Charlie who seemed to be happier than the celebrant. Charlie had danced that night so much he feared the guy was going to pass out due to fatigue but the guy had a good stamina and remained alert till the party was over.

The party was meant for the adults and he could not go in but he did not hesitate to prep through the window. 'Brother, who are you?' Jace could not help but repeat that question over and over again on his mind. That was what he was here to confirm.

Was the new most powerful man in the kingdom aside from the king and the males of the Royal family his brother? Did his brother really become more powerful than his father?

His brother had always had one obvious goal in his heart from that night they saw and saved Rose's life and with the rate of his the growth of his brother's power and network, his brother will be able to control the royal family and that will make Rose's vengeance easy.

Every thing was connected directly or indirectly to the royal Princess. She took his brother from him. As he began creating a mental list of how everything was Rose's fault, a voice in his head stopped him immediately.

Since he became the official heir, he was made to swear to love and respect the queen and Rose was the rightful queen so he had no right to complain about her existence in their lives.

The fact that she was the queen made her have every right over their lives and that was the reason why his brother left their family. He left so he could help the princess but also for his own personal interest. He will not be allowed to possess the thoughts he had of the princess in the Hart family.

He might have lived all these years since he left the orphanage in luxury but he was impressed by his brother's office. He nodded his head but still maintained the expressionless look he wore on his face.

It was only two floors from the top floor making the view from the window spectacular. He ignored his brother as he walked to the ceiling to floor window although he had to admit that no matter how hard he tried to change to look tough and manly, he was still far behind his brother.

Liam looked at Jace who seemed to be trying his best to appear comfortable in his magnificent office. It was very much worthy of the name he built for himself. The ability to know the future was the greatest gift in the world and he used that gift to his advantage.

"Jace, what will you like to drink?" Liam asked walking to the window and joined his brother.

"Coffee will be okay," Jace replied fighting the urge to hug his brother tightly and cry. He kissed Liam. Seeing Liam close to him looking like he owned the world in his black tailored shirt and neatly tucked into a pair black suit trousers.

Liam glanced back at Charlie who nodded and disappeared through the door. "I guess you have fully recovered," Liam said moving close to his brother and reached towards Jace's head to pat his head as usual.

He could feel the Jace trying to toughing up and act cold towards him but all he could see was that young boy abandoned on the road in the middle of the night with his elder brother who seemed to not understand human emotions by the very mother who gave birth to him and the father he had always respected and loved.

He could see the boy he abandoned despite how much he knew the boy loved and wanted him in his life. He had been everything to Jace before their father adopted them but now, he turned his back against his brother for his own selfish interest.

Seeing his brother's hand coming close, it took almost all his willpower to avoid his brother's hand and walk back and made himself comfortable or pretended to be comfortable on one of the black leather sofas in the office seating area.

? Charlie returned with the coffee and served his boss and his boss' brother. His boss could not express his emotions and it made him wish he could be a channel with which his boss will let his brother know he still cared but he could not, this was an issue that had to be taken care of by the brothers alone.

As he stepped into his office, he sighed and massaged his forehead. There were things his boss always said occasionally that made him really confused. He had stopped wondering what all those terms meant but he could easily conclude that his boss was not a normal man.

"Yeah obviously," Jace replied with as much coldness he could muster.

"Your visit is surprising. I am a traitor of the family. Are you here to kill me?" Liam said sitting on a black leather sofa and reached for the cup of coffee Charlie saved them.
