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

We stood there, for a while. Both a little awkward.

"I uhm… I got lost, I guess," Saph said biting her lip. I cocked my head to the side and flashed her a crooked smile.

"Breathe… Saphira," I reminded her. I saw that she felt caught, and I immediately felt guilty doing so. "Well… where were you heading towards…" I said as I smiled at her.

"The-the kitchen…" she said shying away from my closeness. I backed away from her. "Ah.. you were now… and what did you think you would find there?" I questioned.

She was acting a little odd though.

"Lynn and I… and Raina for that matter… We uhm.. thought that it was a good idea to get drunk… But we were out of wine…" she said wobbly.

I scrutinized her face.  Her blue eyes had trouble focusing and it seemed she was…

"You are completely waisted!" I said more accusingly than I had meant.

Are you sure?
