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

"What's the matter?" Malik asked me, as he came to sit beside me from a distance.

"Nothing," I said an tried to smile. Malik cocked his hand and looked at me. "I haven't known you for long, but that does not mean that I can not read you, Saphira," he said disapprovingly.

"What is bothering you?" he asked me. "There isn't anything bothering me," I lied. "Now you are insulting me," Malik said calmly rubbing his hands. He had an olive kind of skin color, it was beautiful.

"Now the truth," he said from under his lashes. "Arghh…" I groaned. "I do not want to tell you." I almost whispered.

"Why not," he stated like he had a right to know. "Because… what's it to you?" I frowned. He opened his mouth to say something and then closed it again. He stood up, ready to leave. "I'll let you be then," he simply said.

You better
