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

"Can I change first?" Jazz softly asked, eyeing her hospital gown. I brushed my fingers through her honeycomb hair.

"I'll ask one of the maids to fetch you something," I told her as I stood up. "About that…" she almost whispered. "Did you fire them all?" she questioned me.

I did not know what she meant. I stared at her, trying to reck my brain around it. "Oh... " I said as I wiped my hand across my face. "No, I am sorry Habib… it has not been on my mind to do," I said in all honesty. I did most though.

I had promised her to let go of all the maids I had once slept with. "I uhm… changed my mind about it," she said. I cocked my head to the side, looking at her.

She seemed really pale today. "What do you mean love?" I asked her. "I don't know," she faintly shrugged. "I think I just need to trust you… " she said. "We have lost so much together and I..." she gulped for air.

I don't want to be alone
