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

Saphira started to sing in a small voice. She sounded shaky and the crowd caught on to that. "It was a lil mean of you, don't you think," Zachary said. I shook my head.

"Not really," I said without remorse.

When Benjamin sang the other couplet, the whole room lit up again. Woman were whistling at him. "Happy now?" Zachary laughed out loud. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Now You are being mean," I said throwing my napkin at him.

"He is incredible, isn't he?" I said mostly to myself. "The guy can sing, if that is what you mean…" Zach admitted.

He was singing a love song and when it was Saphira's turn to sing, Benjamin held her gaze. I felt a pit in my stomach. "Jasmine?" Zachary said.

"Mhh?" I murmured. "Don't worry about it," he said soothingly.

A piece of their own pie
