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

"What time would Daniel be here to ask for your hand?" I asked Naïma with mixed feelings. "10:00 AM," Naïma said with a deep sigh. "Let's sleep. It's 2 AM so we better rest, tomorrow is a big and exiting day," I told her.

It still felt like it was the middle of the night when the doorbell rang. Naïma looked at me with big eyes. I glanced at the clock, it was 5:05 AM. We tiptoed to the bedroom door and heard the already familiar male voices in our hallway. "I'm nervous," Naïma whispered.

"Nervous?" I repeated. Why would Ben be here as well, and why would they be here ,this early in the morning? We both got dressed in a daze. I stumbled down the stairs, my body hurt even more than it did yesterday.

I was so distracted, that I almost fell down the stairs. But before I could, Benjamin was there to catch me. "Hey little pea," Benjamin said, looking intently into my eyes. "Uh hmm Hi," I said trembling.
