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

"Did you sleep with her?" Jasmine said in a small voice, not answering my question.

I closed my eyes and sighed. She already knew the answer, or else she would not be asking. "I have slept with her," I said, heavily sighing. "How many times," she pressed. I shook my head. "Jasmine, please." I shrugged.

"Tell me," she asked, and her cat-like green eyes seemed devastated. "Countless times," I admitted and scratched in between my eyes. I hated to say this, but I did not want to lie to her either.

"How could you do that to me?" Tears rolled down her eyes. We were already at the restaurant and I thought it wouldn't be a very sane idea to take her in anymore. She would just cause a scene. That was not something I could afford as a new king, with many enemies.
