Chapter 15: Caught Red Handed

CeCe POV

I know what you're probably thinking. CeCe how are you planning to get revenge on Gale? Well don't worry about it because I got a covered. Gale is going to wish he didn't mess with the future Mrs. Hessenheffer and queen of Sweden. I'm going to make him pay for what he did. He will never be able to show his face again in Stockholm. Thinking about him just makes my stomach crawl and I was seriously ready to get this over with quickly as possible.

"Mr. Isberg, you have a visitor." The butler said.

"Who is it Stevens?" Gale asked.

"I'm afraid it's Princess Cecelia."

Gale eyes widen in surprise, "Don't just stand there! Tell her to come in."

"Right away sir."

"Hello Gale." I greeted with a smirk.

"Hello CeCe." Gale says licking his lips.

"Will there be anything else sir? Does the princess want something to drink perhaps?"

"No thank you." I replied.

"That will be all Stevens. You can leave now." Gale replied still staring at me. Stevens left out of the room and closes the door behind him. "What brings you to my home this afternoon CeCe?"

"Do you really want to know?" I replied.

"Oh course I do. I have all the time in the world when it comes to you beautiful."

"You see, I've been thinking a lot lately."

"And…"

"Maybe I'm not supposed to marry Gunther. You were right about what you said on the news a couple of days ago. I'm not fit to be a queen."

"Oh darling, I didn't mean to offend you. I was only trying to prove a point."

"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Gunther not fit to be a king, but you on the other hand would make a wonderful queen."

"You really think so? I'm American. What do I know about ruling another country anyways?"

"If you choose me as your king instead of Gunther I will show you everything you need to know about being a magnificent queen."

"Oh yeah, you think so?"

"Bay-bee, I know so."

"Let me ask you something?"

"Ask away."

"Why did you stay friends with Gunther so long if you don't like him?"

"Don't get me wrong. Gunther is a great guy and a good friend. Although, I didn't like that fact that he actually had a chance to become a king. I thought you were never going to agree to marry him and I'll become the ruler of Sweden."

"So you admit it?"

"Admit what darling? I don't understand your way of speaking?"

"You admit that you would do anything to see Gunther fall?"

"Is this a rhetorical question?"

"Maybe it is." I replied with a serious expression.

Gale laughed, "Then yes I will. You see darling, I don't give a damn if he loses you or the crown, and I sure don't give a damn if he commit suicide or has a nervous breakdown. All I care about is becoming king and you of course."

"You're an asshole." I said with tears in my eyes.

"And you're a conniving little slut. But it's fine by me. I wouldn't mind being married to somebody like you."

"If you think my father will let you take his place as king then you got another thing coming.

"Darling I know he will. Once I convince him that I'm better for the throne. He'll change his mind."

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what exactly?"

"I know you told paparazzi that Gunther and I were at his grandmother farm?"

Gale smiled with glee, "told paparazzi what exactly?"

"Don't play dumb with me anymore! I want to know why you did it?!" I shouted

"I did it because I wanted your attention and since I got it now, you'll dump the loser and be with me."

"I rather jump of a cliff then to be with somebody like you. Now if you excuse me, I have somewhere to be." I said about to open the door.

"You're not going anywhere." He said yanking me from the doorway.

"Let go of me this instant!"

"Shut up and sit down!" he shouted.

"You won't get away with this." I said falling back on the chair.

"Bay-bee, I already did." He smirked before leaving the room.

"You can't do this!" I shouted as the door shuts.

When he left the room, I when inside my bra and took out my tape recorder. I quickly listened to it, making sure everything Gale said was recorded. I refuse to let him get away with this. I'll make sure of that. Only thing is, how the heck am I going to get out of here? This definitely wasn't part of the plan.

I should probably call Gunther before he gets back. I know he'll be mad at me because he didn't want me to come here in the first place, but my life is at stake and I need his help. I picked up and pressed Gunther number which was on speed dial.

"CeCe! Are you okay? Is everything alright?" Gunther asked anxiously.

"Good news is I got everything on tape. Bad news is I'm trap inside some room and he won't let me go." I said.

"Ugh! What room are you in?"

"I'm –"I didn't get to finish my sentence because Gale walks inside with a big grin on his face.

"CeCe, CeCe! Are you there?" Gunther asked.

"I'm sorry CeCe can't come to the phone right now. So please don't bother wasting your time." Gale said hanging up the phone.

"I swear Gale, you will pay for this. Gunther and my father will come after you."

Gale laughed, "You just don't get it do you Cecelia?"

"Get what? Get that you're a jealous, self-centered, no good wannabe, dick headed loser. So yeah, I totally get it." I taunted.

"You will not address me in that way." he said turning red.

"My apologies, my lord." I said. "You're a dog and I don't like you. Simple as that!" I taunted some more.

"You're impulsive and I like it."

"Is this conversation over?" I asked getting angry.

"Maybe…"

I shook my head, "I'm so done talking to you. You're dismissed."

"Like they say in America, whateva's."

"You're a dick."

Gunther POV

I was pacing back and forth though my office. I knew this was a bad idea. How the hell am I going to get CeCe out of there without Gale plotting another attack on me? Everything is messed up and Gale is completely out of line. I have to go over there and save her. I don't care what it takes because CeCe is very important to me. She is the woman I love and I would do anything to get her back.

"Hey man, what are you doing?" Ty asked walking inside my office with Deuce by his side.

"Gale has CeCe." I replied.

"What do you mean he has CeCe?" Deuce asked.

"Please don't tell me she when over there today?" Ty asked.

I nodded, "I try to tell her not to but you know how CeCe is, she would listen."

"So what are you waiting for? You can just stand there. Go get your girl." Ty said.

"Yeah, don't worry about a thing. We'll be right behind you." Deuce added.

I nodded once more, "Thanks guys." I said rushing out of the palace.

I arrived at Gale house less than 15 minute later. I didn't have a plan but I did want to get CeCe out of his house. This is between me and him, not CeCe. That's the reason why I didn't want her to come go there in the first place. I seriously didn't know what Gale was capable of next.

I couldn't knock on the front door so I had to find another way inside. That's when I snuck in though the back way through the kitchen. Thank god nobody was inside the kitchen because I had to plan my next move.

I definitely knew where CeCe was located because every time I came over here to visit Gale, we would hang out inside his office, which was a lot like mine. The question "is" how am I going to get CeCe out without getting caught?

"Sir what are you planning to do with the princess?" I heard a man speak from the next room.

"Don't worry about that Stevens." Gale spoke.

"At least tell me what's going on." Stevens said.

"I'm gonna keep her here into she agrees to marry."

"How will you do that sir? The king doesn't want you near his daughter.

"I have my ways. Plus the king is slowly dying and soon he will be out of my hair."

"What about Gunther? The princess is getting married to Gunther in a couple of weeks."

"You ask too many questions Stevens and none of it is your concern. Now let me do this my way!"

"As you wish sir." Stevens replied rolling his eyes.

I had enough of these shenanigans. I have to stop this now. I rush out of the kitchen so nobody would see me and up the stairs into his office. I quickly open the door and walk inside but something hard was thrown at my head. "Ouch!"

"Get out!" CeCe shouts.

"CeCe it's me Gunther." I whispered.

"I'm so glad you're here." she said hugging me. "I'm sorry for throwing something at you but I thought you were him."

"Did he do anything to you?"

"Besides flapping his mouth, nothing really."

"I have to get you out of here." I told her.

"But how? The only way out is through the front.

"No it's not. I came through that back."

"What if we get caught?" she asked.

"Then I want you to run as fast as you can and call the police. I will handle Gale my own way." I explained.

"Why don't you start now?" Gale spoke walking inside the room.

"Let her go Gale if you know what's good for you." I said.

"How do you know what's good for me? Maybe she's exactly what I need." Gale said with a lopsided smirk.

"I'm gonna knock that stupid smirk off your face." I said walking towards him.

"Gunther wait! He's not worth it." CeCe said.

"She right you know. Listen to her." Gale said.

"I rather not." I said punching him in the nose.

"AHH! You broke my nose!" Gale screamed still holding his nose.

"Good." I said punch him again. "CeCe go! Get out of here!"

"I'm going." She said rushing out of the office.

"Come on fight me. I've been waiting to do this all week."

"That's ridiculous. I will not fight you." He said.

"Like I thought. You always been a person for words but never show and I'm sick of it! You messed with me long enough and my fiancée. You know what? You're not even worth it, I'm out of here." I explain walking out of his office.

"That's what you think." Gale said hitting me on top of the head with a vase.

I fell to the floor feeling completely dizzy all of a sudden. No less then a second later, everything when black.

CeCe POV

I was trying to find my way to the kitchen and out the back. But I didn't have a clue where I was going. I really wanted to go back upstairs because Gunther was up there because something didn't feel right about this.

"Your highness, where are you going?" Stevens asked.

"Please, I just want to get out of here." I explained.

"I don't think Mr. Isberg would like that."

"Why do you care about what he says? No job is worth that much trouble."

"It is when you have a wife and 4 children at home."

I frowned, "What if I told you I could give you a better job at the palace if you let me go?"

"You would do that for me?"

"Of course I will. I know how hard it is out here and nobody wants to loose their job. As future queen of this country I will grantee you a job. As long as you help me escape. I'm sure you're a better person then this."

"Your right, I am. I'll help you." He smiles.

I smiled, "Thank you so much."

"Okay, let get you out through the front." he said.

Before we could make it to the front door Gale runs downstairs. "I was only gone for 5 minutes and already you're helping out the princess. See I knew you couldn't be trusted." Gale said. "I suggest you bring her back upstairs before you become unemployed. Do you understand me?"

"Screw this job. I don't need your filthy money." Stevens said.

"Excuse me?" Gale said.

"You heard him Gale. He's not taking any more of your crap." I said.

"Get back upstairs Cecelia, now!" he shouted.

"No…." I said looking around. "What did you do with Gunther? Where is he?"

"Gunther is preoccupied right now and he won't be up for a while."

"I don't understand, what did you do to him, Gale?!"

"He's knock out like a light. What do you think?"

"You bastard!" I yelled beginning to attack him. He yanked me up by my waist and carried me over his shoulder. "Let go of me now!" I scream beating on his back.

"Let go of her." Stevens said.

"You shut up and do your job!"

"Put the girl down!" A police officer yelled bursting inside the house.

"What's the meaning of this?" Gale asked putting me down and throwing his hands up.

"For attempting kidnap. Now put your hands behind you back." The officer said putting handcuffs on him.

"Are you kidding me? I didn't kidnap her. She came here on her own free will."

"CeCe are you alright?" Ty asked walking inside.

"Yeah I fine." I replied.

"Where's Gunther?" Deuce asked.

"I don't know. He was upstairs where I left him." I told them.

I sat by Gunther bed in that hospital that night. The doctor said that Gunther had a minor concussion but he will be okay. I still was extremely worried about his health. The last thing I need is a sick husband. Not that Gunther will become sick like my father. It just bothers me to the point that I have to worry like this.

"CeCe." Gunther spoke weakly.

"I'm here baby."

"Did we get him?"

"Yes, we have to go to court though."

"Figures. I just want to get this shit over with."

"How's your head feeling?"

"I still feel a little woozy but there's nothing I can't handle." He smirks

"Oh shut up and get some rest."

"I will if you spend the night."

"Okay Gunther. I'll spend the night."

"Good, now give me a kiss."

"Mwah! Now go back to sleep." I said kissing him goodnight.
