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

Two weeks had passed since I gave Jasmine and Raina driving lessons. I wanted to stay loyal towards Saphira, so I kept my distance from Jasmine, as much as I could.

Against my own will, she still had a hold on me. and it wasn't fair to any of us.

Still, I saw her each night, as I would now. Raina had called me to go to Jasmine's room again. Like every night she was screaming and fighting in her sleep.

I rubbed my eyes and put on a blue t-shirt and sweatpants. I strode through the palace halls and finally reached Raina's wing.

One of Raina's maids stood outside the door. "We can't seem to calm her down your highness," the maid explained. "I will fix it," I said as I stretched my arms.

I walked into Jazz's room. Her long curly blond hair was sticking to her face in sweat. Her eyes were open, but I knew she was not awake. She was trying to fight Raina off.
