Trevor P.O.V
"What time do you leave tomorrow Sir?" Tiffany asked as I was cleaning my chest which was covered by blood with a cloth.
"Around seven." I replied coolly as I saw Nat looking at me with a small grimace. "The party starts at seven and I don't feel like being the first. I want a dramatic entrance you see?" he said and Natalie giggled at that. "What time are you leaving love?" I asked Natalie.
"Yordi and I will leave around five." She said calmly and I nodded slowly at that. "Why don't you join us?"
"Like I said, dramatic entrance. And Bob, Brian, Peter and their wives arrive at five and I want to check security wise." I explained and she nodded as she walked into one of the rooms to start her shift. I had just finished. "I won't see you until I come back from Prangie, I don't know when I'll arrive either."
"Of course, sir." Tiffany said and I put on a new shirt and I climbed into the elevator, making my hands a fist and then releasing it again.
I had heard from Simon that Jules had been back in Prangie for a month now. He was there to keep me updated and to date the woman he was seeing off course. Apparently, she spent the nights with both William and Hugo and things were going well. According to him, William still seemed insufferable and he guessed that Julia didn't open herself up to him completely. Hugo was another story, and that frustrated me and pissed me off. But my feelings were apparently not important.
After Jules left for Brusta I had a long conversation/discussion with my brothers and fathers and we decided that for Julia it would be better if I stayed in Gotar for a while. It was also better for me because here I had at least a small part of my frustration that I could torture away, while in Prangie all my anger and frustration would come out with words. The words mainly going to Julia, whom didn't deserve any of my anger.
For the past few weeks, I had the same recurring dream that I had this feeling that Jules had as well. We were always together and we were always in the ring of fire, circle of hell, whatever it was called. She was always by my side and every morning when I woke up, she wasn't lying next to me, and the pain grew and grew with each day.
I knew that I'd be seeing her tomorrow again and I just hoped that it went well, but I had this horrid feeling that I'd just be disappointed. Natalie told me to adjust my expectations and I wouldn't be disappointed, but how could I do that? I needed Julia by my side just as much she probably needed me by her side. I needed to feel her close to me, I needed to hear her laugh, I needed to know she loved me just as much as I loved her.
I walked through the cold air towards the castle and when I arrived in the empty castle, I let out an annoyed breath.
I hadn't had a lot of contact with William or Hugo, we only discussed 'business', but they knew better than to talk about Julia with me; they knew it was a sore point of conversation. She was a trigger in me that I didn't know I had, she brought out the best sides of me but also my worst. I knew it was the other way around as well, and that pissed me off. This whole situation pissed me off. I had not started a war against the world to get her back, only for her to ignore me. But, like everyone kept reminding me, right now her mental health was a priority. I guess they didn't realise that I could fix that within seconds.
But, my two days in the Love house damaged her trust for me. Why she could have a conversation and a weekend away to Yordan with William was lost on me. And that she forgave Hugo for having a full-blown affair and she had sex with him, confused me even more. It pissed me off too, because I knew how much he wanted to be with Heather.
Jules had changed a lot though. It seemed like the time away from us had changed the wiring in her brain. My Julia would've never told Hugo he could one day be with Heather. My Julia would've never heard 'my husbands cheated on me' and not asked for actual revenge. I mean yes, she hadn't spoken to me in months. Yes, she hadn't opened up to Will. But secretly I had hoped she would've locked up all the women we've slept with in Gotar. Cause that at least show she cared enough and was angry. But no, the only punishment I got was that she was giving ME the cold shoulder. Me, of all of my brothers, was getting the cold shoulder and it was fucking pathetic. But, I had to let her be or something, which was fucking stupid.
Tomorrow it would be dad's 69th birthday and he was throwing a big ass garden party at the castle, and I knew that they had been preparing that for the past weeks, which meant that my brothers and wife were currently in Valkarea. I knew that they would be flying tomorrow and I knew that they were happy, which pissed me the fuck off.
I went to bed after reading loads of files and signing off on certain situation and I tried to have a peaceful sleep, but Julia haunted my dreams once more. She always haunted my fucking dreams.
After a restless night with barely any sleep, I climbed under the shower and let the cold water hit my body. I hoped it would wake me up and it did slightly. I put on a pair of simple pants and a shirt and I walked out the door. After a quick breakfast I made my way to B-3 for some intelligence briefings, but I couldn't actually concentrate on what they were saying. My mind was on Julia, wondering how she was, what she was doing, how she was feeling. These feelings weren't new for me, but the idea that I would see her tonight only made me nervous.
I then heard that the plane with the dad's guests from the US had landed here in Gotar. I got into the train over towards the exit as I had to do a security check. After a trip of twenty minutes, making them wait and sweat, I exited the elevator and the door, seeing the large ass plane on the tarmac.
It was a Jefferson inc private plane, but the Pilot was a Locatlie pilot, I knew that. My security men were waiting by the stairs that led into the plane, all saluting me. I had the briefcase with the security stuff in my hand and I climbed up the stairs. I could've let one of my advisors or assistants do this, but I wanted to make sure they were here for the right reasons.
I arrived in the main area and looked around for a second, observing everyone here, and my eyes met the blue Davids eyes of Bob. His eyes met mine and his eyes widened in recognition but also fear.
"My King." Bob said standing up right away and I put the suitcase with the security stuff down on the table next to me.
"Mr Davids." I said curtly as I opened the briefcase. "You know the drill by now, your companions don't; I would quite like all your phones and electronic devices. My security team will do your security team." I said not looking at him. Bob stood up and he placed his laptop, his tablet and his two phones on the table. I looked up at him and it was like I was staring at an elder version of Jason. I sat down on the chair here.
"I didn't expect you do to this." Bob said a bit nervously as his wife, Lily, placed her two phones, tablet and laptop on the table as well. I looked up at her and I could see some sadness in her eyes; but then again, she had lost her son and grandchildren in this war.
"With our family history, I thought it was smartest to do this." I said calmly as I grabbed his phone first. "First or second phone?" I asked and I looked up and I saw pain on Bob's face as he bit his lip.
"First." He stammered. "Business." He added at that and I nodded at that as I saw all the data I needed.
"I meant with the fact that you're my father's best friend." I said casually. "I don't think it's respectful for someone with the history you have with one of the Locatlie Kings, to have a low-leveled stranger look through your stuff." I said calmly and I looked up and the pain in his eyes softened a bit and he nodded. "How are your daughters?" I asked. "Meja and Allie, right?" I said and a small grimace appeared on his face.
"I'm sure you know." Bob said with a small smile and I nodded slowly.
"I'm very sorry they don't agree with you coming here." I said calmly as I got his second phone and put it on here. "But then again, I am in the position and power to stop my father from going to the people that are indirectly responsible for my brothers death, if situations were reversed off course." I said calmly as I then grabbed his laptop and Bob stared at me and I saw some sadness in his eyes. "Lucas is very happy to have you here."
"That's good to know. I'm happy to be invited, I didn't expect it. Knowing him." He said and I saw that Lily was staring at Bob with a small smile. I nodded slowly.
"My father is known for not being able to let grudges go. If I had been him, I would not have invited the father of the man responsible for my wife's death to my birthday party. But I'm sure he has good reason." I said calmly and Bob's face whitened again as I then looked at the screen. "You have a security system on here, is that from Jefferson inc, protecting other labels from stealing music?" I said turning around and he was staring at me with tears in his eyes. He blinked and looked down.
"Yeah. Brad he uhm-" He said clearing his throat. "He designed the footprints. I don't know how to adjust it." He said calmly and I nodded slowly at that.
"It's fine. Julia has it on her laptop too." I said calmly as I then grabbed his tablet. "You'll be here for two weeks. There is a tracker on all of your appliances for two weeks, so my security team will be able to see at all times what you guys look up and your communication. Will that be a problem for your guests?" I said looking sideways for a second seeing Peter Petrol and his wife Gigi sitting there before I looked back up at him.
"No. They understand." He replied and I smiled a bit at that and nodded as I then grabbed Lily's stuff and I let out a small breath. "How is she?" He asked very carefully and I frowned looking at him. "Willow? – Julia." He corrected and I nodded slowly at that.
"I have no idea. You should ask her tonight." I said calmly and he was shocked at my response as I then quickly went through Lily's stuff. "I added something on both of your phones. Your iCloud can be easily hacked and I've seen some pictures on your phone that I'm sure you don't want the public to see." I said looking at Lily and Lily stared at me with tears in my eyes too, but also gratitude.
"Thank you." Lily said and I nodded at that as I handed them their stuff back.
"Nothing to see." I said calmly and I looked sideways. "Mr and Mrs Petrol?"
"Yes." Peter said. "My King." He added and I smiled a bit at that and nodded as he had four phones and I frowned at that but couldn't help but giggle as I then did all the security checks and it was quiet for a bit.
"You look a lot like Lucas, my king." Petrol said.
"I know." I replied calmly as I looked through some of his stuff. "Got my mothers eye shape though." I added. "And some of her personality according to my fathers. Are you aware that the US-government has a tracking device on your phone?" I said looking up and he stared at me my eyes widening. "That's a no. I'll delete it now." I replied casually and I took a deep breath as after about ten minutes I was done with his and Gigi's stuff. I looked up now and my eyes widened for a second as I saw Brian Jefferson standing there.
He was the slightly smaller version of his twin brother. He had the same eyes, the same nose and the same lips. His face was slightly different though. But he had the same eyeshape as Brad, which meant he had the same as Julia. I couldn't help but smile a bit as he put down his phones and all of his stuff.
"I'm sure Julia will be happy to meet you." I said calmly as I looked down at all of his stuff. "Did you get the will returned to you or not?" I asked.
"I did." Brian stammered and I looked up at him and then at his wife, Mae Davids, whom was the sister of Bob and I couldn't help but smile looking at her.
"How did that go?" I said after a minute as I grabbed his other phone.
"How did what go?"
"You dating your basically cousin, and the little sister of your best friend." I said and Mae giggled at that a bit and I looked up at her with a small smile. "John." I whispered more to myself than to her.
"Scott's eyes." Mae said. "Look nothing like Bob though."
"You don't." I commented. "But then again Bob and Jake are exactly like Jeffrey, while the three of you are like Jackie." I said calmly and she giggled and nodded.
"Did you ever meet them?" Mae asked and I shook my head at that.
I handed back their stuff and I then grabbed something.
"Going to have to do a body check. You don't have to undress or anything." I said calmly and they nodded as I did that then. "My team is currently looking through your stuff. If everything is fine then you guys are ready to go to the party."
"Are you not going?" Bob said a tad confused and I looked at him.
"I am. Have to change first. My sisters would have my head if I came to dad's party with this outfit." I said casually. "You'll see me there. Trust me." I said. "Till later." I said and I walked out and I let out a small breath as I then saw that the head of international security was waiting for me and he told me that everything was fine. I nodded as I then handed him the briefcase and I walked towards the castle. I took a long shower again, before I put on a pair of underwear and then looked at all my suits. As I walked out the door to go the airplane, Tiffany ran up to me.
"Sir, there is an emergency." She said her eyes widening and I frowned looking at her as she showed me the files; Argentina was currently attacking Chile. "Do you want me to get the kings together?" She said nervously and I read through the file.
Fuck, this was important. This couldn't wait a day. But I didn't want to bother my brothers or fathers with it. This would be the only chance I had to see my wife in a non-forced situation, but this was important too.
"No. I'll call Hugo up now." I said grabbing my phone and I let out a small breath as I pointed towards Gotar prison, I handed her the file back and I loosened my tie.
"Hugo?" He said confused. "Shouldn't you be in the plane?"
"I'm not coming. A situation has come up that I'll debrief you about tomorrow morning. You and Will enjoy your night, tell dad that I'm sorry I can't come but to enjoy tonight." I said as I walked into the building and I walked into the elevator.
"Fuck. I'm sorry bro." Hugo said earnestly. "I know how much you-"
"Yeah I know. It's fine. Country before the heart right." I shrugged as I looked sideways. "How is she?"
"Nervous about meeting them." Hugo said after five seconds of silence. "Dreams about you every night." He added and I put my phone on my shoulder for a second before putting it back, tears in my eyes. "But she hasn't forgiven Will, so I'm sure you'll have to wait a bit too."
"Ok. Yeah. Thank you." I said.
"Yeah. Sorry bro." He said and I let out a sigh. "Will you come later you think?"
"This isn't a situation that can be done in one night I'm afraid. I might come later this week, but I'm not sure." I said calmly. "I've got to hang up now. I love you."
"Love you too bro." Hugo said and I hung up and I looked towards the side.
She dreamt of me in the same way I dreamt of her.
Fuck; I'm fucking up.
A.N.
Soo. A lot happened this chapter. We spend some time in the mind of Trevor. We also got 're-introduced' to Bob Davids, Peter Petrol, Brian Jefferson and their wives. What did we think of their interaction? Are they up to something or are they genuine? The war also isn't over, so Trev has to stay behind in Gotar. Are we rooting for him and Julia? Does Trevor have to make more of an effort to get Julia back or should he stay in Gotar until Julia comes to him?
The next chapter is from Jules p.o.v again! I hope you enjoyed Trevor's mind!
