บท 38: William Goldsmith and Love Rivals?

The current head of the Goldsmith William, is tall, slight tanned skin, firm body, handsome masculine face with a long and strong nose, chiseled jaw, sharp eyes.

He is best friends with Vincent, just like the others Heads, Heirs and Heiress from the Golden Royals, the same age as Vince, 25 years old, when they were young, they used to compete for everything, including for a girl with jade-colored eyes. Now that they are adults, it is very difficult to say if they are still competing, but both fields of expertise are different, the first one is in charge of the health area in the country, while the second one is in charge of the security area, which is the military.

Although Will and Vince are best friends, there is some kind of talking secret about Will, is that he has a crush, and his crush is Eliza, but he is not the only one. But he knows that she is Vince's fiancée, and both have feelings for each other. So, he keeps a certain distance from her.

William is a bit like Vincent, but the former is not so cold, he is friendlier, more accessible, due to his line of work in medicine. One of the best Neurologists and surgeons in the world.

Due to his identity as a doctor, he has been raised as a charismatic person, pleasing to the eye; But that does not mean that he is one of good temperament, he was raised to 'appear' to be a good person, but in reality, he is a narcissistic person, shameless, and on many occasions, he makes it seem that he is a playboy who every end of week he changes one girl after another. What is not known is that if it is a date or a girlfriend.

But all that is for him to hide or to forget his first love, the woman who already has a man in her heart, there were two reasons firstly, that man meet her three years before him, and the second one is because that man is his best friend. So, in the end he respects that.

But there is an unknown man who has had the longest crush on Eliza, Glenn.

*** A/N: Glenn is the boy that was with Eliza in her graduation 10 years ago. Chapter 23 and 24.

Glenn is part of the Academy's higher-ups. He is the nephew of one of the 'Elders' as they are commonly called.

The 'Elders are below the Royals, but Glenn has another identity, he is the son of a high commander of the HG organization. His father Ethan and his mother Jessica are part of the HG Council. Because of this his status is somewhat equal to that of William. But not as high as Eliza's or worse than Vincent.

He developed feelings for Eliza when they were children, as did Will. But unlike Will, Glenn does not restrict himself. He has no fear or respect for the Royals' rankings. Nor does he care about their authority. Glenn has his own organization, is stronger than any of them alone.

>> GLENN SIDE

Deep inside a half-rocky half-vegetable mountain, there is a huge 5-story mansion. It sprawls behind this mountain that no one wants to venture into.

A man was sitting in a chair that may well resemble a red throne with green emeralds and red rubies; holding a glass of wine in his right hand, while his left hand rested on the throne, giving the impression of a lazy posture, his features hidden only his light brown eyes could be discernible in the darkness of the room.

"Master Glenn."

"Mhm, status?"

"Master, I couldn't find the person who fired the missiles at Miss Elizabeth, besides he knew very well what route he would take to escape"

Frowning in dissatisfaction Glenn didn't hold back and tossed the wine glass towards the man who reported what he did a few hours ago, following Eliza and her squad to the mission.

"You're supposed to be the best, why do you fail? Go get your punishment... the rat cage is a good idea for you."

"M... master, there is something else I must inform you of, and it is more important."

Pausing for a second, he became interested "Hmm, go ahead."

"When I was following Miss Elizabeth, she noticed and made their vans stop..."

Surprised the man in the throne Glenn, just murmured "Oh, she's improved... or is it that you're a good-for-nothing?"

"What else?"

Seeing that Master Glenn was reaching the limit of his patience, he said quickly without missing a beat.

"The lady somehow knew it was me following her and that I work for you, all she did was stop my car and then ask me for paper and pencil."

<<<<<Flashback>>>>>

"Hmm... someone is following us... Feral stop the car at the next intersection.

After doing so, Eliza waited for the owner of the car following them, and stopped him by stepping in front of the car with crossed arms.

"Jose, I know you work for Glenn, give me paper and pencil" she said while giving him an evil smile.

"Huh?" A little slow to react Eliza repeated....

"Paper... Pencil... now."

"Oh, yes. One minute please."

Jose knew he had to be respectful, he knew his master would not end up holding the lady in his arms, no matter how much he wanted to... his master is a psychotic person and is too wicked to end up next to the beauty.

> If only Glenn would listen to his thoughts, he would be 50 meters underground, being a meat ball, without bones. <

Giving her what she asked for, a notebook and a pen Joe was a little nervous about what she wanted to do, he was in the presence of the lady everyone nicknamed the iron lady.

Seeing the things, she asked for in her hands, Eliza began to write, she spent approximately 15 minutes writing. When she finished, she returned the notebook to Jose leaving him with a simple sentence.... "Give this to Glenn, don't follow me anymore" With the last part she said it firmly and looking directly into Jose's eyes, stern and without leaving any room for negotiations.

<<<<<End of the Flashback>>>>>

Taking the notebook from his suit, Jose gives it to the man in the red throne with both hands.

After taking it, Glenn inspects all the notebook, after careful consideration with nervousness he opened, there were a lot of written pages, and was handwritten by Eliza herself. He started to engross himself in the notebook, no forgetting to dismiss Jose.

"It has been 10 years since I saw you in my Graduation Ceremony, I hope that you are okay.

You will ask, What's the meaning of some words written, well for me, it means a lot, I don't want to repeat the same mistake again…

With a confused face he couldn't stop reading and ask himself "Mistake? ... Again? What is she talking about?"

Still with the confusion he continues reading what his beauty Liz wrote for him.

"It may confuse you, but I won't tell you details, I want you to understand one thing, I have always seen you as a FRIEND, nothing more, nothing less"

"Ha-ha… Just like that I have been left in the friend zone?" he smiled wryly. He was in pain, but he couldn't stop reading, with his right hand pressing on his chest and in his left was the notebook, he continues.
