Hello my lovely readers. Here I am with another update. I know it's not a long one but I hope you will still like it:-) 

Chapter 16

The night with James was something special. We couldn't put our hands off of each other. His passionate touches all over my body were giving me chills. His sweet kisses and bites were burning my skin and his body put mine through heaven. The chemistry between the two of us is something I never felt with anyone else. We had it since we first kissed. And now when we are finally giving our relationship a chance I didn't even knew it would be possible to get even better. He is making a progress at being a great boyfriend. He is being romantic and thoughtful. And I am don't have to talk about his body and what it actually does to mine. I am in love with him. I am completely lost case.

"Emma." Tom interrupted my thoughts while he was driving me to my secret work.

"What?" I asked him confused.

"I was asking you at what time should I pick you up?" he looked at me in his rear view mirror.

"As usual." I replied not realizing he was asking me something before. I was lost in my crazy thoughts about James.

"What were you dreaming about last night? They had to be really good dreams." He said smiling to himself.

"What? Why?" I asked him confused.

"Ignore me." He replied still smiling to himself. Does he know James spend the night with me? Does he even have a clue about us? It drives me nuts not knowing if he knows. But I am clearly not going to ask him that.

"We are here." He said parking the car in front of the studio. I wasn't even going to argue with him about not driving me directly to the entrance as we had a deal about that before. I gave up. He is not going to leave mi like that.

"Thank you." I said and quickly jumped out avoiding him and hoping he has no clue about my love life.

The day was dragging so badly. Jessica was acting like a cow since morning. She was still staring at me as if she wanted to figure me out. It got me actually thinking about finding a new job. I can't risk my identity being revealed. My father would kill me if he find out about me not following his orders.

Before the lunch break I got a text from James. "Thinking about you and last night. I can't wait to see you again." Oh if he only knew I was also thinking about him. Of course it got me smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh somebody has a new guy." I heard Jessica saying with her annoying voice.

"Oh somebody should mind their own business." I replied to her already fed up with her. She wasn't expecting my response and she just narrowed her eyes at me from her desk looking offended.

"I can't wait to see you too. Last night was amazing. Especially the last part." I replied to him. My phone beeped after few seconds with another text from him.

"Oh the last part was something. I loved that lingerie on you. And of course off of you." he texted making me blush.

"At least I know what to put on next time. Or rather not to put on at all." I replied which was after a minute followed with another text.

"Now I burned the shrimps. Don't make me think about you not wearing any underwear under your clothes or my restaurant will bankrupt." He replied.

"Sorry:-}" I quickly posted and left my phone already. I also had to focus on my work and not on him.

I was going through the catalog of new fabric materials when I heard someone to walk inside of the studio. I didn't pay attention to them as I was writing down the numbers what to order.

"Can I help you?" I heard Jessica ask with her fake sweet voice.

"I am actually here to see her." I heard familiar voice and I quickly looked up. Tom was standing there and I could see him being really pissed off. I was starring at him confused. What the hell is he doing here?

"We need to talk. Now." He said and I knew I couldn't argue with him. This was an order and Tom is not giving me orders unless it's about my safety.

"Excuse me. Do you know this guy?" Jessica asked me folding her hands on her chest. I really didn't wanted to explain to her anything. I looked at Tom and I knew if I didn't follow his order he would just took me out probably banded on his shoulder.

"Dad! I didn't know you would stop by." I said and I struck him by surprise. "Yes Jessica I know this man." I said to her quickly coming to Tom and kissed him on his cheek making him uncomfortable as hell. He pulled his scared eyes on me but he quickly composed himself and played along.

"We need to talk... darling." He said and I quickly took his arm and I was leading him outside.

"I will be right back." I said to Jessica as she was watching us leave the studio with interest.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you called me before and you just walk inside?" I asked him as he put me into the parked car. He sit back into the passenger seat right next to me.

"What am I doing?" he asked me pissed off. "What the hell are you doing walking at night around the London without any protection Emma!" he yelled at me and I winced with surprise at his outburst. Oh Sh*t. Now I know why he was really really angry.

"I had to hear that from the guards report that you were joking around? What the hell were you thinking? Do you have any f*cking idea how hard are we trying to protect you and you just takes off on your own?" he said and I was looking at him shocked. I have never seen him this mad. It took me off guard.

"I am sorry Tom." I whispered.

"I don't want you to be working here anymore. I am done covering for you. You broke the rules so many times already. And god knows how many times you just took off without me. I am trying to protect you Emma." He said pissed off.

"Tom please you can't do this to me." I begged him.

"No. Your job here is done." He said flatly.

"Oh come on Tom. I just wanted to have fun. It was only last night. I never took off without you. I promise. And nobody even recognized me. Of course except that guard. But really I was safe." I was trying desperately to persuade him.

"You were safe." He repeated hissing. "You are not safe Emma. Why do you think the security around you was tightened?" he said and I looked at him confused. I know there were few more guards when I was out on a public engagements but I thought it was because of my father being there.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused.

"Damn it." He hissed more to himself then to me. There was a silence for a few seconds as he was thinking before he took a deep breath and finally started to talk.

"There was a threat." He said making me blink few times and my hands got cold.

"A threat?" I asked him not sure if I heard correctly.

"I shouldn't be saying this to you. I was ordered not to." He said seriously making me frown. "But with your stupid actions you are making my job of protecting you very hard." He said looking at me.

"What threat?" I asked him terrified and curious at the same time. Was it because of some political reason? Some sort of antiroyalist? Or did I had some stalker? I was nervous about what I am about to hear.

"I don't want to scare you. Your father didn't wanted you to know so you could live without any worries." He replied.

"I want to know. I am an adult. I deserve to know when there is some kind of threat." I asked him.

"There was a letter." He said taking a deep breath looking at me.

"But there must be a lot of letters with threats. Why is this one so special to make you so worried?" I asked him. I know it is not a news that we are receiving a letters with threats. After all we are publicly known family. Not everyone likes us. But it is unusual for Tom telling me about it and even tightening my security because of it.

"Was this letter for me or my father? Do they threat my whole family? What about them?" I asked him thinking about my brothers and their wives but he shook his head.

"The letter was for you." He said slowly. "It was found on your bed in Buckingham palace." He said and my heart started to beat triple the pace as it should. I swallowed hardly.

"How?" I asked him terrified.

"We don't know. Maid found it when she was cleaning your room and gave it to the security. We didn't found any clues to who could have put it there." He replied. How come somebody got into the palace without noticing. Or is it someone from the inside?

"What was in the letter?" I asked him slowly. He took out his phone and started to scroll in his pictures. Then he handed it to me. It was the picture of the letter.

"YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING" letters were from different kinds of magazines glued together. There were also some red marks around it. It looked like blood but I guess and hoped it was only a paint. You can't have everything. I heard those words before. "You can't have everything Princess." I got a flashback from the track when me and James were about to run a race. I mean I know he is a prankster but this is clearly a terrible joke from him. He even got my security on alert. Then I looked at Tom and I laughed.

"I am sorry. This is a joke." I said to him and he looked at me as if I got crazy.

"What?" he asked me confused.

"This is just a prank Tom. I know who did this. And it explains why it even got into the palace." I said to him.

"How can you be so sure?" he asked me.

"I just know." I replied but I didn't convinced him. He took his phone madly and showed me another picture.

"Well then I think this is a really sick prank. This was in the envelope with the letter." He said and I looked at it. It was a picture from Henry's and Eva's wedding day. On that picture was Henry and Eva, behind them was me with James and behind us Philip with Emily. We all were outside of the church walking lined up together smiling and waving to the crowds. But there was a thick red cross made by a red marker on my face. Red arrow from that cross was pointing on another red note which gave me chills on my back and my heart stopped. "You are dead."
