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

I tried to hide my grieve. His eyes warned me not to go there. "I need to know that you will be alright, now that I am leaving," I said.

I did not know where that came from. I was in no position to leave. "You're what?" he slowly questioned. I bit my lip.

My news seemed to work him up. I saw that he tightened his jaw. "You are not leaving this palace, it is not safe for you to be out there," he demanded.

"I don't think it is good for me to stay here either," I told him. It was the truth though. "I get that," he said bluntly.

"You are right," he said making me feel even worse.

"But that does not mean that you are able to leave," he reminded me.

He did not want me here and he was not even hiding it. "Jasmine will kill the both of us," he said under his breath. I did not know if he was talking to me or to himself. My chest felt heavy.

She must never know
