“Who wants to talk to me, you said?” Eleanor Watson, the youngest daughter of Adam Watson, the present Governor of the city, asks her maid who came in her room to pass on this message.“Your father wants to talk to you.” the maid repeats seeing no reason the Princess couldn’t understand it at the first instance.Eleanor throws her purse on the bed which is scattered by her beautiful gown. It is her best friend Avery's wedding today and the only reason why she has come back to New York from Paris, taking a few days off from her upcoming movie's shoot. “Tell him I am not available to talk now. And even if I was, I am not interested in discussing anything with a man who said he doesn’t take me as his daughter anymore.” She said in a dismissing tone before focusing back on what she was doing.Her father Adam Watson, was the Governor of the Town, a wealthy man who had every right to rule the place more than anyone else but he was short of wits and skills which the Knight billionaire heirs

CHURCHThe men drag Eleanor and Avery out in the church. It’s an ancient church where you hardly can find people around. Built at the outskirts of the town, no one visits here except during the yearly fair which happens mostly in December. They force Eleanor and Avery to climb the church stairs and as they get closer, Eleanor notices the Priest sitting and doing some preparation. Their surroundings are decorated as if there is some wedding happening here. But whose? There are also few men guarding the place with guns. All of them were wearing that special attire with the Knight Royals logo on their arm.Someone pulls the scarf from Avery’s mouth first.The sudden release of the scarf brought a mix of relief and confusion to Avery. The unexpected turn of events left her disoriented.“Max?” Avery shouts seeing the man sitting before the Priest performing the ritual. “What is all this?” she screams. “Why have you got us here? It’s my marriage today.”Avery's voice echoed with a blend of

“Shut up,” Eleanor exhaled harshly, her frustration evident. Her body was shaking in anger as she struggled to get control over the situation. She never felt so frustrated ever before and she had a feeling that it has just started. “I don’t know where you got this idea that I will be marrying you. Just drop that from your mind before it starts annoying me further.”The smirk on Kayden Knight’s face disappeared. It was evident that she didn’t know anything about the marriage proposal, but he didn’t expect her to react so harshly either after knowing he is going to be her groom. Rejections and Kayden Knight never went well together.“Our marriage is unavoidable," he barked. “Now we just need to see how you take the entire ritual. You want to spoil your family’s image by crying like a fragile, sensitive doll like Avery on our wedding day or embrace it as the best decision of your life.”Eleanor gritted her teeth.“Worst decision,” she snapped. “Only being the great Knight heirs is not en

“Oh.. so she got married to THAT Max?” Adam angrily asks.Eleanor’s blood boils when she meets her father. There was never a connection between them. He always wanted a son but settled for 2 daughters instead. And only because Rose couldn’t bore more children further, he had to stop hoping. But her poor mother even gave him the liberty to re-marry but somehow he didn’t wish to take a chance. Was it the love for his wife or the fear that if his second wife also gives birth to a girl, it will crush his manly ego, she doesn’t want to know. During her early childhood, she always wanted to spend more time with her father. They say fathers love their girls more than boys. But there was nothing of that sort in their home. She always saw her father pinpointing their mistakes, shouting and screaming at them for almost everything."You girls have no choice," Adam continued to bicker, frustration evident in his voice. The dimly lit room reflected the tension, casting long shadows across the fami

The morning sunlight pricked her sleepy eyes, making Eleanor groan at the person who drew the curtains of her room apart.“Can I get some sleep in this house?” She shouts.In the soft hues of the morning light, Eleanor's abrupt shout echoed through the house, disrupting the tranquil ambiance that lingered. Rose, ever the nurturing presence, swiftly made her way to her daughter's bed, her touch gentle as she caressed Eleanor's tousled hair."Eleanor... it's 9:00 am. You wake up so late every day?" Rose inquired, a hint of concern lacing her words. Eleanor, still grappling with the remnants of a sleepless night, tossed to the other side, seeking refuge from the daylight."Your husband is responsible for this," she retorted, her frustration evident. "How am I supposed to wake up early when I couldn’t sleep the whole night?" The room, with its comfortable furnishings and the soft glow of morning sunlight, bore witness to Eleanor's discontent.Rose, understanding her daughter's turmoil, too

WATSON HOUSE Eleanor vehemently throws the dress and jewels her father sent into her room, intended for her to get dressed up.Eleanor's room resonated with frustration as she vehemently declared, "I am not wearing that, and I'm certainly not letting you tie me to the Royals forcibly!" The intensity of her refusal was matched by the evident frustration in her father Adam Watson's expression.Adam, attempting to justify his decision, retorted, "You should be thankful I have got such a nice proposal for you. There is no reason why you shouldn’t accept it." His tone, though firm, held a hint of exasperation."Nice proposal? Only because they are Royals? There is not even a pinch of decency in that man," Eleanor countered, her voice laced with disdain for the unknown suitor.Adam, defending the unseen alliance, questioned her knowledge, "How would you know that? You haven’t even met him.""I met him yesterday when his men abducted me and Avery," Eleanor revealed, her tone revealing the t

WATSON HOUSEEleanor smirks at her, displaying unexpected confidence. "I am not yet a Royal bride. And I am sure you wouldn't like to waste your blessings on others."Grandma, taken aback by Eleanor's boldness, reassesses her preconceived notions. Sean's warning about Watson's daughter not meeting expectations seems to ring true in this unexpected encounter. The room is charged with an unspoken clash of expectations and reality."You cannot talk to the Royals like that!" Adam's voice echoed through the room, a thunderous reprimand aimed at Eleanor. Her desire to retort clashed with the realization that her mother, nervously watching, had pleaded for decorum today."I sincerely apologize for that, Mrs. Caroline Knight," Eleanor bowed her head, a veneer of respect concealing her true sentiments. "But as you see, this alliance is news for me. I cannot risk my entire life to a man whom I don't know at all. And no offense, I have seen his traits enough yesterday which makes me think I want
