ESTEFAN'S POVAt the rising of the sun, we set out to leave for the Knight's house. I rode in the car with Esteban and Anna who were following behind my parent's car where Esmeralda was. Since we drove out of the hotel, Esteban kept on questioning why Rhea and I got divorced but I couldn't provide an answer. When I set out on that mission, it felt right at that moment but when someone got hurt because of it I was too ashamed to tell anyone what I did. Rhea must have told her parent what happened and I was sure they were livid. I didn't know what to expect when we arrived there. Worse, I didn't even know what to say, I was only going there because my parents wanted to mend a relationship that they didn't know how it broke in the first place.My heart thudded in my chest as the car drove into the Knight mansion. I climbed out of the car and made my way into the house behind Esteban. Each step I took was like walking on hot coal but it was too late to turn back. Whatever happened in the

ESTEFAN'S POVThe car stopped in front of Kensal Green cemetery and I stepped out with a bouquet of lilies in my hand. The bottom of my leather shoe sunk into the moist ground as I approached a familiar tomb. I stopped in front of the tomb and squatted, placing the flowers on it. With my hand, I wiped off the mud on the words engraved on it.'In loving memories of our dear sister and mother, Adina Perez,' it read. "Hi, Mom. It's me again. How have you been? You must be mad at me for not coming to visit all this while. I don't have an excuse, so I'll just apologise. I'm sorry." I sighed. "Do you remember the last time I came here? I told you I had come to London for a mission but I didn't tell you what it is because I knew you would be disappointed in me. Right now, I wished I had told you about it. Maybe you would have found a way to change my mind and make me give up that stupid plan. "The thing is, I went through with it and I'm regretting every second of it. She left me, Mom."

She proceeded to do makeup before helping me get into a deep blue laced dress that was pencilled to my mid-thigh. Then a light blue flare net beaded with blue pearls was attached from the waist down to my feet. A set of diamond jewellery was sent with the dress which Kim helped me put on before I paired my outfit with black pumps. When Kim was done with her job, she left the room to get her pay from her employer before she left.Walking out of the room, I met Grayson waiting for me in the living room with a big smile on my face. "Wow, I'm so proud of myself." My eyebrows scrunched together at his choice of words. "Don't you mean you look beautiful?" "Yeah, that too." He shrugged," but you only look beautiful because I picked that dress and jewellery to go with it, and I also got you the best makeup artist and hairstylist, so yeah, I'm proud of myself." A sigh escaped my lips as I

The rays of the rising sun peeked through my curtains, letting me know that it was morning. I had been awake since four, trying to complete another chapter of my book which was a daily routine for me because I get my best ideas and inspiration by that time of the day. I added a period to the last sentence of the chapter before saving it and shutting down my laptop. Falling back on the bed, I straightened my legs which had been in a crossed position ever since I woke up, and I massage my aching fingers that had been typing furiously on my laptop. Closing my eyes to sleep for a little while, I heard faint footsteps that grew louder as they approached my room. The footsteps stopped followed by a knock on my door. "Rhea, come downstairs. Breakfast is ready," my mom sweet voice said from outside before her footsteps drew farther away from my room. Standing up from my queen-sized bed, I pulled my curtains apart and sighed, enjoying the warmth from the ray of sun entering the window on my

My father, King Estevan Borbon-Anjou of Spain, stood up from his seat and moved towards the exit as my younger sister, Princess Esmeralda and I followed behind him. A cold breeze greeted me as I stepped out of the plane and descended the stairs. Seven years ago, I swore to myself that I wouldn't come back to this city but here I was, stepping my feet on the soil of London. A red carpet lay on the ground from the bottom of the stairs to the entrance of the white Limousine waiting to pick us up. With my hands shoved deep into my pants pocket, I strode to the car behind my dad with Esmeralda beside me. "This place is beautiful." Esmeralda gasped as she looked out of the moving car. "Hmm," I replied as I stared out at the "beautiful city" that took everything away from me. The city didn't change a single bit, it was the same as how I left it seven years ago."Wh

The prince, on the other hand, looked like he would rather be anywhere else as he kept his face stoic and expressionless.I leaned closer to Princess Esmeralda who I know is younger than I was and whispered, "Does he ever smile or talk? Cos he hasn't said a word since he got here." "That's how he is, he doesn't talk unless it's necessary and for the smile, I have never seen him do that," she whispered back and I nodded."Why don't we move to the dining table for dinner?" My mom stood up and ushered our guest to the dining room.Leah clung to Estefan as she continued to brag about the endorsement deals she has signed that year while I walked quietly behind them."This dish is amazing." King Estevan said as he finished his food. "Mrs knight, you are a wonderful cook."Thank you, your
