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 cried for the longest time. My eyes felt thick and my throat hurt from sobbing.

Benjamin kept wiping away the tears, but the constant flood of tears continued. It was like all the emotions I had been piling up, these last weeks were finally being released.

"Benjamin I am not ready to come back to you," I said looking up at him. Benjamin sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "I know, but you will be in time," he said scrutinizing my face.

"Could you please move back my stuff?" I asked him feverishly.

"No," Benjamin's voice was strained.

"You will sleep in my arms, every night from now on," he said in authority.

"What?!" Was he being serious? He did not say anything and only held my gaze. It did not seem it was a subject that was up for discussion. "In your arms?!" I repeated in disbelieve.

"Yeah, exactly," he said in seriousness. I pinched my eyes shut and counted to sixty.

Soon enough...
