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. 
 
Which ship are you rooting for?

Love Untangled

Out of breath, I fell into his arms.

Benjamin wrapped himself around me and we slept for the longest time.

When I woke up, I felt a little disoriented. His arms were still around me.

Naïma said that she did not enjoy marital relations.. I could honestly not see why. Yes it kind of hurt… a little… but then again it felt so good.

Benjamin had woken up as well, but we were enjoying the serenity. I started to look around the room. The walls were white. It looked a bit like a hospital.

"So… " Benjamin smiled as he touched his nose against mine.

"How did you escape?" he asked me.

"There was this man…" I started to say. Benjamin rested his face on his hands, looking down on me. "He was kind to me," I told him. Benjamin scrutinized my face. I knew he was trying to hold back his jealousy.

"He kept me safe from Saeed... at least he did when he got the chance," I said and shivered at the thought of my brother in-law.

Me or her?!
