After the tragic loss of her parents and brother, Karliah was forced to leave her abusive aunt's home and start afresh in New York. However, fate had other plans for her. A chance encounter with a mysterious and attractive stranger led to a passionate one night stand. Soon, Karliah found herself entangled in a royal affair, vying for Prince Nicolas's affections. But when Princess Lisa arrived, Karliah's hopes began to waver.

A ROYAL SCANDAL

For a moment, it felt like time had come to a standstill as a gasp of shock escaped my trembling lips. 


I recognized the man who had saved me from the wrath of my boss. He was the guy who was at the bar, one of Nick's friends. 


"This is all your doing," he muttered angrily as he rubbed his hand. 


"You're fired, Karliah, and you should never show your face around here." 


But he was already gone. Angry tears blurred my vision, and a painful sob escaped my lips. 


I can't believe that I lost my job. How on earth was I going to pay for my expenses? 


I turned to look at the man who had saved me from my boss's anger. 


This was all his fault. If he hadn't intervened, none of this would have happened, and I wouldn't have lost my job.
