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

A few minutes later, the cab dropped us off in my driveway. I paid the driver as I helped Lisa out of the car. It was clear that she was pretty wasted, and she kept getting sick along the way. 


It was truly a nasty scene. Once the cab driver left, Lisa and I went inside. She kept staring around the house in amazement. 


"This is a pretty good house, Karliah. How can you afford all this?" 


"Well, it's all thanks to Anita. She helped me get a loan from the bank and assisted me with some paperwork so that I can secure this apartment." 


"Wow, I had no idea, Karliah. Why didn't you say something?" Lisa exclaimed as I handed her some lemon juice. 


"Here, you should drink this; it might help with the nausea you keep experiencing." 


"Why on earth would you drink all that alcohol, Lisa, when you know that you couldn't handle it?"
