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

The incident at seven pools left me even more confused about Karliah because I didn't know the perfect definition of our relationship. But without doubt, I knew that I deeply cared about her and I never wanted to see her hurt. Yet I couldn't protect her from myself. 


Maybe it was because of her smile or the way her brown eyes met mine intensely. Each time I looked at Karliah, I kept seeing a different side of her. On top of that, my feelings for her didn't change as well. 


They kept growing stronger, making me question myself, but the sad part was that I never knew the answers I was seeking. 


I stared at my reflection, which had an evil grin on her face. 


"So, was it worth it, Lisa?" It taunted. 


I shut my eyes tightly, trying to take deep breaths, but it wasn't working because the voice wouldn't just go away. 


"You established a life for yourself and then just threw it away just because you wanted to feel accepted by your parents?"
