The King's Queen Chapter 1 Henry

"Your highness."

What now, I think.

"Come in, Godfrey."

The middle-aged man walks in, splendid hair neatly gelled, and looking neat and pompous as always, "Your father is here to see you."

I roll my eyes, "I'll be down in a moment."

"Okay, sir," and he turns around and leaves, I consume the rest of my whiskey, and throw on my silk Gucci robe before making my way downstairs. As he reaches the foot of the stairs, his father gives him a disapproving look.

Here we go.

I turn back around and sit down on the couch, and he sits across from me, and Godfrey bring in two glasses of whiskey, giving on to my dad and then me.

"Father please, we've had this discussion before," I sigh, walking past him to the lounge.

"Henry please."

I turn around and look at my father, challenging him to go on.

"Never mind," he sighs.

I turn back around and sit down on the couch, and he sits across from me, and Godfrey brings in two glasses of whiskey, giving on to my dad and then me.

My father gulps his drinking before letting out a sigh, "We have important business to discuss."

"If it's about the court case, I've sorted it out," I reply, sipping on my whiskey.

My father looks at me in surprise, "And what was the outcome?"

"I paid the fine."

"Goddammit Henry!" my father yells.

My father has always been this temperamental, after years of getting emotional about it, I finally got used to it, and now I just roll with the punches, and sometimes diffuse it before he goes off on me."

"You weren't supposed to do that; you were supposed to cut a deal with them. We talked about this."

"You talked about it; I listened, and with all due respect father, your idea wasn't going to work," I reply calmly.

My father pinches the bridge of his nose, "Explain it to me, please."

"Well first off, their business was going bankrupt, so what deal were we going to cut with them apart from putting them out of their misery by giving them a generous sum of money they were going to blow again. Paying the fine was the only way to avoid a drop in shares and unnecessary drama."

He remains silent for a few moments, I knew, he knew I was right.

"You're right son, excellent job."

I can't help but smirk, "Try to smile next time when you say it."

My father chuckles, "You are not out of the woods yet. You need a wife."

I cringe, he always had to use the term, 'wife'.

"Father, we've spoken about this."

"Frankly I don't care, you need to start settling down Henry, you're a king for god's sake," he says furiously.

I shake my head, "Yes I am a King dad, but I don't want some trophy wife who will sit beside me on the throne with no brain, I need a real woman father,"

My father sighs, the poor man, I'm going to kill him before his time.

"Look, Henry, get yourself a real woman but do it quickly before I put your brother as a temporary king."

Hell no.

"You wouldn't."

My father chuckles, "Believe me, Henry, I would."

I examined him closely, and his stern look made me believe that he was serious.

"Okay, I'll make a plan."

"Good," my father smiles, "I know you'll make a great king Henry but behind every great king is an even greater queen,"

I sigh, "I know dad, and mum was a great queen, she still is, and I want to marry a woman just like her.

"I'm glad."

He walks towards me. I stand up, we share a hug and I walk him to the door, I open the door for him and I watch him as he walks back to his Rolls Royce and drives out of my yard.

Good riddance.

I close the door and make my way back upstairs to my bedroom.

"I do apologize for my dear for keeping you waiting," he says to the skinny brunette lying naked in his bed.

"It's okay my King," she replies with a smirk.

"Now where were we?"

She giggles, "You were about to devour me."

I take my pants off, revealing myself to her, she immediately gasps.

"I don't think I can take that," she stutters.

I grin, "Of course, you can baby, I'll be gentle."

She hastily scrambles off the bed and picks up her clothes, "I have to go."

I observe her as she bolts out of the door, I let out a frustrated groan before putting my pants back on.

Fuck her cave-like pussy, I think to myself.

Knock, knock.

"What do you want?"

"Sir it's Lord Montgomery, he is on the phone" Godfrey replies.

I pick up the phone that's on my desk, "Hello."

"Dude it's that time of the week."

"Archie, is it Tuesday already?"

Archie laughs, "Well duh dude, Ashby and I will be there in an hour to pick you up."

"Awesome, I'll be ready." and I hang up the phone.

I go into my bathroom and get into the shower after five minutes I get out and prep my hair before stepping into my walk-in closet, I'm sure you'd expect me to have a stylish, but I don't need all that, I can dress very well if you ask me.

I pick out a pair of black dress pants and a white shirt, leaving the two top buttons undone, with a formal dress shoe before putting on my Rolex watch. I walk out of my wardrobe, grab my phone and wallet before heading downstairs.

"Godfrey," I call out.

Godfrey then walks out of the kitchen, "Yes sir,"

"I'm going out for the night, make sure that everyone leaves here on time and that security is airtight before going to bed," I explain.

"Yes, your highness." he nods.

"And I'm sorry for lashing out at you earlier, I should not be taking my frustration out on you."

He looks at me and smiles, "It's alright sir, apology accepted."

Beep, beep!

"The boys are here; I'll see you later Godfrey."

I leave the house and find a limo parked outside my door; they are going all out tonight. The passenger door opens and Archie steps out.

"Look at his royal highness." he grins.

"Hello to you Goldilocks."

Archie has long dirty blonde hair that reaches past his broad shoulders, I've been begging the guy to get a damn hair cut but he says his hair has magic powers, idiot.

Archie's twin brother Ashby then steps out of the limo.

"Well, well, well, Rapunzel decided to join us this time," I tease.

He too possessed long hair just like his brother, but he kept it clean and well washed, unlike his caveman brother.

"Shut up Henry. You're the one that had me on guard duty last week," he replies with a laugh.

"Are the other two joining us tonight?"

They both nod and reply, "They are at the club already,"

I smile, "Sweet, let's get going then, we don't want to keep the ladies waiting."

We all get into the limo, and we leave. Ashby pours me a glass of whiskey which I gulp down in one swig, he eyes me cautiously.

"Dude, are you okay?"

"I'm frustrated man, I'm hoping to take a girl home tonight."

Archie chuckles, "I told you hiring sex slaves were a bad idea."

"And I should have listened to you," I sigh, "The last girl didn't even last."

Archie laughs, "Not tight enough."

"No, she said it was too big."

The twins can't help but laugh at my predicament.

"You poor soul, you must have the worst case of blue balls," Ashby laughs.

"That's not all, my dad shows up giving me the marriage talk."

"Again?" Ashby questions, "That's like the fourth time in the past two weeks."

"I may have someone for you," Archie says looking at me with a sly grin.

I raise an eyebrow, and I wasn't excited, but Archie and Ashby knew a lot of women and I am keen on what he had to say or show me.

"Penelope Harding."

She sounds charming.

"I'll get her to come to the club with her friend Sophia, and you'll like her."

"Are you sure about this Archie, she's our best friend, more like our little sister" Ashby objects, "I don't want this fool here, messing with her."

"I'm right here you know."

"I'm sure," Archie replies but that didn't help put Ashby at ease, why was he getting so protective over her? I must meet her.

The limo comes to a stop, and we hear music playing, we had arrived at the club. The door opens, and we step outside the limo and all the women scream, calling out our names as we make our way into the club, this was the best feeling in the world, knowing that all the women loved you and wanted to be with you, best feeling ever.

We walk to the back of the club to our usual VIP area, and I can already see Sebastian and my younger brother Chris in a deep conversation.

"Hello, boys, why so serious?" Archie says, sitting beside Sebastian.

"We were talking about you three stooges." Sebastian laughs.

"We do apologize for being late, Henry here took time to put his make up." Ashby teases, winking at me.

I roll my eyes, "Very funny."

We call for a waiter and he take out drink orders, a bottle of whiskey, vodka, gin and rum and water for Ashby because he was on a diet, which wasn't going to last long knowing him, he can't resist the taste of Russian bear.

I look round the elite club, seeing if there was any girl worth taking home and then a beautiful afro captures my eye, chocolate brown skin, plump lips and she looked beautiful under the disco lights.

"Henry," Archie calls out.

"Uh yeah," I instantly reply not taking my eyes off the attractive woman.

"What are you looking at?" he asks curiously, squinting his eyes looking in the same direction I was.

"Not what, who," I eagerly say is pointing in the direction of the mystery woman.

"Oh, she's here," he says excitedly.

"Who?"

"Penelope," Archie replies with an infectious grin.

Oh, my royal balls, she's one hot mamasita.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
