I was roaming the palace halls, pretending to be a servant. My heart drummed when I first saw her. Jasmine’s cat-like green eyes haunted me from the moment that I had met her. The new maid in our Saudi palace was everything I had ever dreamed of; a body that made every man kneel, her intelligence was beyond imagination and her passion set my whole world on fire.

Although I knew she truly loved me, her love for me was more like a game of push and pull. She did not wish to marry anyone, and certainly not me. 

Meeting Saphira back home in Malibu USA, had seemed like a welcome distraction. And although I resisted, we had deeply fallen. It was not something I could easily take back... Saphira was not everything that I had once dreamed of, and I certainly did not plan to love her. But I did regardless, irrevocably so. 

My name is Benjamin El-Raji Saud, Prince of Saudi Arabia.  
They say love wasn’t supposed to be easy, I know that now. 
The story of how our love became untangled, was messy and twisted and full of heart ache and betrayal.
I truly did not know how our story would end, but is was ours.

Love Untangled

"I'm not a liar," I said defensively. "So when you said that you didn't want me in your life, that wasn't a lie?" Benjamin prompted with a smile. I stubbornly placed my hand on my hips. "That is different," I sighed. "It was better that way," I said in a whisper.

"And the fact that you said that I had imagined everything between us? Was that the truth then?" I was quiet. When he saw that I wasn't going to answer his question, he stroke his hand through his hair.

"You are too pure of a soul to hide under that tent. Besides, I have the feeling you are too tempered to control your words anyway." I sighed. It was quiet for a while.

"I hate the fact that I can't see your face, or at least less of it because of the veil. It's been months!" he grumbled. "Although I do get why they covered those eyes of yours, they haunt me still." Benjamin sighed deeply and shook his hand through his hair.
