Return Of The Unparalleled Lord

Chapter 11

Keith and Jacqueline were walking together to the office. Keith was trying to hide the fact that he was filled with rage at the moment and it was not going to be nice if he was to explode. 

“I am sorry sir; I didn't know you would arrive here this early.” Jacqueline was still apologizing to Keith; he was not about to make sure that nothing would make Keith angry. 

“I am not mad at you Jacquline; I know you didn't know that I would be here at any time now so there is no way you would have thought that there would be a fight and it would cost you an employee.” Keith was a bit serious; he was not sure that there was any explanation for what he had faced earlier. 

“Marx was meant to be here; I don't know why he is not here and why he is absent.” 

Keith was still angry that he didn't meet his guards there nor did he see his closest ally, Marx. 

“Sir Marx would have been here but there were some unforeseen circumstances he needed to make sure that there would be nothing that would irritate you but then I didn't know you were almost here. I would have come right away.” 

Jacqueline was scared of Keith and it was showing all over how he behaved, “I told you, it's fine. By the way, if you were here then it would have been hard for us to see the bug that just stopped working for you.” 

Keith was not happy that he was embarrassed but he was relieved that the hotel won't have such a cruel person there anymore.

“So Marx is fixing up something, how long till he gets here?” Keith looked at Jacquline, they were heading to the largest suite in the hotel. It was only reserved for the highest-ranking men in the city.

“He told me that he would be here in three hours, I know you must be mad at him. I am sorry, I heard about your divorce. I am sorry about that,” Jacquline bowed his head to show how sorry he was to hear what had happened to Keith.

Keith was not even moved when he heard about the divorce talk, he was unmoved and it was a bit shocking for Jacquline. “I don't know if I was meant to be sad or angry that I am getting divorced but there is nothing that would even make me feel bad about it anymore. She has made her choice and I don't blame her.”

Keith was not going to let what Eleanor did to him ruin the way he was thinking or what he was meant to be doing. He had hoped that he would be able to be with her and let her rule by his side.

But he was wrong and she had other plans and his feelings were not meant to be seen. “It’s a good thing you are not letting it get to you. I know that you will be able to get through it like you always do.”

Jacquline was smiling, he knew that Keith would be able to come through whatever it was that was making him angry but Keith was not angry. Although he did feel betrayed there was nothing he could do.

“I am fine, I know you think it's a bad thing and I know it is. But I only felt betrayed I didn’t know she would even think of going to another man. I was with her for all the years I didn’t have my memory, and then when I recovered it in that ghastly accident I decided to call you all and let you know that I am alive I was going to make it a big ceremony to show her who I was and where I came from.” Keith’s hopes of ever making Eleanor his beloved forever were crushed and there was no way he would even want anything to do with her.

They got to the suite and Jacquline opened the door, everywhere was decorated like it was for a king. Keith walked in and looked around the room.  

He was not impressed one bit but he chose to make sure he didn’t show that he was angry, ‘He is trying his best to see a smile on my face, it would hurt him if I was to make a gesture that I didn’t like the room.’

“What do you think lord Keith, it’s up to your taste right?” Jacquline was looking at Keith, he knew that Keith was not the easiest person to please, and if he should say that he loved the room then it would mean that he was doing the right thing for the first time in a while.

“Well, I am impressed that this sort of thing is in a place like this. You outdid yourself Jacquline, no wonder they made you the third richest person in this city.” Keith smiled, he was not going to make Jacqueline feel bad or anything like that.

“I am thrilled to hear that you actually like this room, I didn’t know what I was going to do if you said that you didn't like it one bit.” Jacquline had a smile on his face, he walked to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine.

“Don’t tell me that is what I think it is.” Keith had a smile on his face, he was happy to see the bottle.

“This is the only bottle in this town and I know you would want to take a sip of it.” Jacquline sounded happy when he was bringing the bottle of wine to Keith.

“You know how to make me smile, you thought of this?” Keith looked at Jacquline as he took the bottle from him and he was about to open it when the room door opened wide.

“Sorry I am late Lord Keith but I was trying to make sure you don’t run into any problem.” Marx walked in with a smile on his face.

“Marx, it is about time you got here.” Keith was opening the bottle of wine.

“Now, let’s talk about the matter at hand. Did you find out who planned my assassination?”
