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

Benjamin ignored me and he went on and on about how he intended to change woman's rights. I was shivering.

Saphira approached me. "Are you alright?" she said. I looked at her. She probably meant well, but I did not like her much never the less.

"I'm sorry Zach started thi," she apologized on his behalf. "No, he is more than right actually. It is rather barbaric what is going down in the country I am born in." I shrugged.

"Zach said that you never even wanted to marry Benjamin…" she said hesitantly. I swallowed, and then turned to her. "Woman in Saudi do not always have a choice in that matter. More of them don't, than that there are ones who do," I said looking at my husband who was still trying to convince Zach that he was a good man.

"We should not try to make something which is absolutely wrong, to be right with our words," I told her. "Was there anyone else?" she carefully asked me.

Only one maid....
