The Prince and His Involuntary Bride

4. Accidently? Bumped?

Celeste was deeply lost in her own world, looking right in to Charlie's hypnotizing eyes, as she felt that she was teleported in to another dimension where she collided with Charlie and the world around her was not the same club anymore, when she heard Edward’s loud voice calling her out.

“Celeste John! What the hell do you think you are doing?”

He yelled out loud at her, making both Celeste and Charlie, look up in to Edward’s direction, who was standing by the very top stair of the staircase.

The music in the VIP section had stopped playing as the DJ looked keenly at the owner of the club, yelling at the hostess, who was found lying on top of one of the most prestigious guests of the night, right in the middle of the floor of the VIP section.

Celeste was immediately snapped out of her previous thoughts as she looked down at Charlie, who’s eyes were stuck at the small portion of her cleavage that was visible through the top button on her shirt, that had popped open when she fell on to Charlie.

She immediately pushed him away, breaking free from his grip and standing up straight, fixing her button and her skirt, followed by shrugging the dust off her coat and standing up straight in front of Edward, who questioned and yelled at Celeste in a disappointed tone.

“What the hell was that?”

Charlie grunted, suddenly feeling disappointed and dry, as she had a sense of déjà vu, filling up his brain, for a moment when he looked up at Celeste but realized that he must had confused her with someone else.

“I am sorry, it was an accident...” she tried to explain herself to Edward, who simply rose his hand up at Celeste, stopping her from giving any further explanation.

Jin immediately rushed up towards the top of the VIP section only to find Celeste standing next to Prince Charlie, which gave him a quick head rush.

Standing behind Edward he lowly mouth whispered at Celeste.

“What the hell have you done?”

Charlie saw the silent exchange between Celeste and Jin, which he found to be even more confusing for his own state.

She only shook her head at Jin, which was an unobvious thing to Edward and he thought that Celeste was shaking her head at him.

“What... what are you doing? Why don’t you apologize to His Royal Highness for your incompetent behavior?”

“Oh!” Celeste realized what exactly wrong she was doing and immediately turned towards Charlie, once again bumping her head in to his shoulder and making him squirm back in pain.

He looked at her with an completely blown away expression, realizing that the woman was quite strong and competent, compared to the contrary belief.

“I am sorry.” She bowed down in respect and Charlie only shook his head, rubbing his shoulder, where Celeste had hit him previously. 

He felt keen looking at her face and noticing her American accent, that made him realize that even if he was thinking that he might have known her than it was obviously not from around the kingdom and somewhere perhaps when he was in the states, he might have ran in to her but if she was even a waitress back then, then he was not going to have an easy time replacing her in his memories.

“It is okay. I am... it’s fine.” With that he turned towards the VIP booth and saw his brother and his friends looking at him with a completely bewildered expression covering their faces.

While Celeste walked ahead, making her way towards the bar, where Edward and Jin followed her.

“Whoa! You just came in and already have the sexy hostess laying on top of you.” Tim chimed out loud, throwing his hand up in the air for Charlie to throw in a high five but Charlie only looked at his brother with obvious disappointment, judging his brother over his friendship with purgatory and ignorant asshole like Tim.

On the other hand, Poly heard Tim’s remarks regarding Celeste that made her grumble lowly in pain, wanting to rip Tim’s head apart for looking down upon her best friend in that manner but she decided to swallow her rage and try her best to be on her professional behavior.

“What took you so long?” Harold asked from Charlie who only shrugged at his brother.

“Your fiancé invited me to her bachelorette party.” He told Harold, who nodded his head, remembering how well Isabella and Charlie were good friends and she was not to have a party without his presence.

“Well, now that you are here... just join us.” Harold told Charlie, who spared a glance at Tim, the drunk man, who was already on his umpteenth glass of liquor and looking in a lustrous manner at the poor dancer. He also realized that the reason why none of Harold’s other friends decided to sit in the booth was also probably because of Tim, who had zero alcohol tolerance and soon was going to start acting out, at any given moment.

“You know what, the other booth seems to be much comfy.” Charlie turned to leave and Harold extended his hand froward, grabbing his arm.

“Dude! Don’t f*****g leave me here alone with him...” he whispered at his brother, who dragged Harold along with him towards the door of the booth.

“Do you think, I am f*****g crazy? I am not sitting here with this asshole who has zero alcohol tolerance and I know soon, he is going to create a scene. He creates a scene when he gets drunk on normal days and today he has come here to celebrate your bachelor’s party. Do you really think, I am that stupid?” Charlie mumbled at his brother, trying to break free from his grip, as he kept pulling Charlie back inside the booth.

“I don’t want to be left alone with him.” Harold complained.

“Well, you should’ve thought about that before inviting him to London at your bachelor’s party.”

“He self invited himself.” Harold argued back.

“Yeah! You should’ve RSVP-ed him back. Asking him not to come.”

“How is that even possible?” Harold asked, feeling confused and lost of the conversation that was taking between him and his baby brother. “Whatever it is. Now that he is here, he might as well invest in our next project. It is going to be of great benefit, if he get funding from him; the government needs...”

“Yeah Great! You work on that.”

With that Charlie freed his hand from his brother and skipped his steps, entering inside the second VIP booth where most of Harold’s other friends had gathered together and were only talking in a light conversation over some drinks, not even paying enough attention to the dancers, who felt relieved that no body inside the room was p*****t enough to touch them and try and take advantage of them.

Seeing that most of the people were gathered in that room, Stella who was performing for that one room, felt suspicious.

She asked one of the dancers to replace her on the front and sneaked out of the room, towards the other booth, passing down from near the bar where Edward was confronting Celeste for her mistake.

“What the hell was that?” Edward whispered yelled at Celeste, who was standing near the bar.

Celeste looked up at Jin, who had his eyes squinted, wondering if Celeste was about to get fired or not.

“I accidently bumped...”

“Accidently? Bumped?” Edward, almost yelled, trying his best to control his temperament and Celeste and Jin both shared a skeptical look, holding out each other’s hands, manifesting that she doesn’t get fired right away.

Edward began pacing back and forth in front of the bar and Celeste looked at Jin, lifting her head up and asking him silently if he was going to fire her or not and Jin, who clasped both of his hands together and began worshiping and praying to the Buddha that Celeste doesn’t get fire right away.

“Just... try to maintain control of everything.” Edward Celeste, reverting on to his anger and turning away from his decision of firing Celeste right away.

Both Celeste and Jin sighed in relief and Edward walked away. He knew that if he fired Celeste, no body else would be there to be the hostess of the night and it could turn out to be a bigger disaster for the club.

Besides, it was just one mistake for her first time and he was on the other hand impressed with how effectively Celeste had been able to run all the other matters at the party and many of the guests were happy and satisfied with the management at present.

As Edward walked back downstairs towards his office, Celeste sighed in relief and was about to walk back inside the booths to check on the party situation, Jin held her shoulder and pulled her back, squinting his eyes at her with anger.

“DO NOT SCREW THIS UP! If you do anything wrong, Rose will refuse to give birth to my baby and she had specifically told me to look after you and take care of you. She is more nervous for you than you are nervous for yourself.”

“Relax! I promise, I have everything under control.”

He warned her and she only threw in a scared smile at him and immediately walked away towards the inventory, to get her head cleared up.

On the other hand as Stella walked inside the VIP room where Harold was, she saw him walking out of the room, with his phone attached to his ear.

She immediately held herself back and bowed down to him in respect and he only nodded at her walking out of the room.

Stella walked inside and noticed that most of the dancers were cornered up at the back of their poles, while Tim sat back shamelessly, rubbing his hand over his crotch.

Due to the surge in the other booth, Celeste had shifted one of the two servers in that room and only Poly was left behind, who was told by Tim to keep her glass full at all times.

Stella realized that Tim’s eyes were stuck at one her youngest dancer, Nola, who felt muddled and disgusted by Tim’s actions, who kept his eyes over her bosoms and her butt, trying his best everyone once in a while to extend his hand forward and touch her ankle or leg, as he grabbed his glass and drank it up like a drum.

Stella decided to take the matters in her own hands, that she always did in such situations.

Jumping up on the table, she pushed Nola back and took her place, wrapping her legs around the pole and roaming in circles, making Tim look at her with utter disbelief.

He had never seen a woman make love to a pole in such a way and to say that he was turned on by the way she moved her hips would be an understatement.

Letting his lust take control over him, he picked out his wallet from his pocket and threw in five hundred euro bills in front of Stella, making her stop dancing amidst, she had her legs wrapped around the pole.

She stepped down and stood in front of Tim, who waved the bills in front of Stella.

“You and her...” Tim pointed out at Nola, making her hide behind Stella, who held Nola’s hand over her shoulder, “... come down here and suck me.”

He pointed at his crotch, making Poly’s eyes go wide.

She looked at Stella, who held pure anger flushed all over her face.

The Golden Hoopers were one of the most prestigious dance groups in the entire country and it was infamous for them that they were flamboyant dancers, who held high regards among the rest of the dance troops.

Poly knew that Celeste had ran some of her own personal links in order to get Stella to have books for the night at the club and Stella was known to break contracts with many companies who disrespected her dancers and her profession.

She only danced and didn’t offer any other service that she considered a taboo or derogatory against her girls.

“I am sorry Sir, but the Golden Hoopers, are only prestigious dancers, who do not offer any other services. We were not told before hand to have other services prepared as well, besides Brighton Nights, do not offer other such services, even if we were asked to. It is a part of holding...”

“Shut up!” Tim yelled out loud, standing up from his seat, frustrated over the fact that Stella was ignorant towards his requests and he wanted her to fulfill his s****l requirements.

“There is nothing that these bitches will not do for money.” He picked up the euro bills from in front of Stella and threw it over her face, making Stella feel humiliated and disgraced.

It wasn’t the first time someone had done this with Stella, she was always used of such bastards throwing insults at her. Therefore, she decided to handle him just the way she handled the others as well.

She gestured at the rest of the dancers to leave the booth and she immediately followed out, entering inside the other one, where they found the condition to be much more comfortable.

“Oh! So you want to keep the money just to yourself? Huh! I see you are not just sexy but also smart. I like that when I f**k a smart mouth.”

Picking up the bills, Stella walked towards Tim, with a small smirk resting over her lips.

She pushed Tim back over his seat, to which he smiled shamelessly, expecting to get what he had been demanding from the woman.

“See.... what did I tell you?” he smiled looking at Poly and closing his eyes, expecting to feel soft lips around his c**k but all his felt was a loud blow to his c**k, as Stella punched him right in the nuts, making a wave of excruciating pain run through his entire body and when he opened his mouth to scream in pain, Stella shoved the same euro bills back inside his mouth.

Poly felt petrified, as she witnessed the entire scene in front of her, along with the other dancers, who stood proudly behind their leader, throwing a man down, who tried to insult them.

“Now there is nothing that an asshole like you would get, even with so much money hanging out of his mouth.” She put him down in his place and stepped back and at the same time outside the booth Harold walked towards Charlie’s booth and entered in, seeing everyone enjoying in pure joy and peace.

He felt envious of the others, who were enjoying his bachelor’s party more than him.

One of his college friends Benjamin got up from his seat and waved his hand at Harold.

“Hey! There is the man of the party! Where the hell are you?” he laughed, pulling Harold’s towards him and everyone cheered for him, grabbing their glasses and drinking in his honor and Harold only smiled at them half deadly and looked around the crowd trying to spot his brother, who was hurdled in to a group of some of Harold’s old friends from High School, who were potential funders for an upcoming train track construction project.

Harold excused himself and walked up towards Charlie, calling him out of his group.

“Man! I was so close to making them agree on a contract, why did you call me out?” he complained to his brother, who huffed in exhaustion.

“I have to go now and you have to take care of Tim.”

“What? No... I already told you...”

“Isabella has called me and I have to go. She told me that you would take care of everything else, because you promised her that you would.”

Charlie sighed in exhaustion, listening to Isabella’s name being dragged in the conversation he knew that he had no other option but to deliver to his promise.

“But wait! Did she actually say that or are you only playing bluff?” he c****d at his brother, still trying his best to get out of the situation and Harold only c****d back an eyebrow at his brother’s stupidity.

“In either way! You have made her such a promise, haven’t you?”

He smirked, making Charlie groan that he was caught up in a cross fire by his brother, who tricked him in and actually didn’t hear it from Isabella herself, as Charlie had requested Isabella not to tell Harold about their personal promises but it was already too late and Harold was on to them.

“Fine! I will only take that bastard to his hotel and drop him off.” Charlie groaned in agitation and walked out of his booth, whilst Harold only waved at his brother, walking out of the club.

One of the bouncers noticed him exiting the club alone and decided to immediately report it to Edward who had told all of his bouncers and guards to immediately report him if any of the guests were to leave any time before the expected departure of the guests and seeing the man who was the guest of honor of the party, leaving himself, made the bouncer rush in to Edward’s room.

Meanwhile Celeste was working along with the bartenders and sending the special drinks via the servers to the VIP booth that was filled most of the guests and made her own way towards the one where Harold was supposed to be, in order to imprint a good impression on him, so that he would put in a good word for her in front of Edward.

But as soon as Celeste stepped inside the booth, her eyes went wide, looking at the scene in front of her.

Tim was standing up against the dancing poles and holding Stella down over the dancing tables.

Tim’s one hand held Stella’s both wrists behind her back, while with his free hand, he tried to take off his pants.

Poly was trying to her best to pull the man off and away from Stella but Tim pushed her away as well making her crash on to the wall.

But Poly picked herself up and mustered up her entire courage, rushing towards Tim and pushing him down on the ground and freeing Stella off his grip.

Stella stood up straight, holding her wrists, that hurt like hell to her.

Tim got up from the floor and breathed like bull, looking at Poly with rage filled in his gaze.

“You wench!” he charged at her, extending his hand out to hit Poly, who squirmed at her spot expecting a blow to her face but she didn’t feel anything at all.

She opened up her only to see Celeste standing in front of her and holding Tim’s arm, preventing him from hitting anyone.

“How dare you try to hit a woman?” Celeste grumbled holding Tim’s arm in her hands and pushed him back on the floor.

“Are you guys alright?” she asked Stella and Poly, both of whom nodded their head at Celeste but soon their eyes went wide looking behind Celeste, where Tim got up from the floor and once again charged at her.

“Celeste!” they both yelled at Celeste, who ducked down and dodged Tim’s hit, turning around and seeing him bent down, in his drunken state where he tried to attack her and missed his hit.

As soon as he collected himself, Celeste groaned in disgust and agitation, throwing a punch right over his face and knocking him down over the floor.

As soon as Tim’s body went flying down on the floor, Stella and Poly sighed in relief but soon their eyes went towards the door where Charlie and Edward were standing by the door and looking at Celeste with a mixture of horror, disappointment and fear covering their faces.
