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

"But Malik, though?" Lynn walked up to me. She studied me… "Do not get me wrong though.. I mean… it would be great if you move on from Ben…." she said thinking out loud.

"It is not like that at all!" I gushed. "There is nothing between Malik and …" I said louder than I had intended to.

Lynn burst out in laughter. "Well that is a big fat lie." She snickered. "Admit it." She smiled.

"Really… there is NOTHING between us," I said irritated.

Lynn did not seem convinced. "So you do not find Malik attractive?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Of course he is." I shrugged. "What does that have to do with anything?" I said feeling narrowed into a corner.

"But come on.. He keeps asking for you like that," she said meaningfully.

"Then why don't you ask him what is going on?" I eyed her. "Because there is nothing going on from my side," I said innocently.

"Fine, I will do just that," Lynn said walking towards the door.
