Despite telling Estefan not to do anything, he still went to Mr. Darlington, asking him to renew my contract with them.Thanks to that, I was able to get back on my feet and make my way to the top again.Fishing out my phone from my bag, I smiled when I saw that it was Asher calling. “Hello, babe,” I said as I picked up the call.“Look at your left,” he ordered, and I complied with a confused expression on my face.A grin spread across my face when I saw him leaning on his red Maserati in an all-black outfit. I moved closer to him and I noticed his blue eyes staring at me in admiration.“How long have you been standing there?” I asked as he pulled me into his arms.“Thirty minutes.” “Why didn't you call me?” I gasped. “I was done an hour ago.”“I wanted to surprise you, so it's worth it.” He shrugged before taking my hand. “Let's go grab lunch together.”“Sure. I'm starving.” He opened the passenger door fo

RHEA'S POV It wasn't hard of a task for the little boy to be found by the Royal family. Anna and Esteban left the palace with some guards and the media team, who would be livestreaming the whole thing. Sitting in my room with my laptop on the bed, I had a bunch of snacks beside me as I had decided to have a writing marathon to cover for the days I missed. Estefan came into the room just as I finished the first chapter. He had to leave the palace early that morning because of something he had to help his father with. “Do you know what channel Anna and Esteban would be livestreaming on?” He asked as he took off his shirt and sat next to me. “Yeah.” I took the remote and searched for the Channel but I stopped when I caught Estefan taking out my chips. I swatted his hands and grabbed the packet of chips. “Go get your own.” “Stingy woman.” He rolled his eyes at me but I ignored him and finally found the channel I was looking for. I adjusted to find a comfortable position on the b

RHEA'S POV“Wow, this place is beautiful.” I gasped as our car parked in front of the carnival. “I know, right,” Estefan said as the door on his side was pulled open. He stepped out of the car and held his hand out to assist me. We walked into the carnival hand in hand, stopping at different outlets. We were offered a pair of red hats to join in the carnival spirit. We put them on and continue with the fun and game going on. A young guy approached Estefan, introducing himself as the leader of the youth community. He thanked us for coming before taking to the podium that was set in the middle of the carnival ground. The community leader stood in front of the mic and publicly expressed his gratitude to Estefan and me on our first appearance at their carnivals. We received lots of applause before he invited Estefan to say something. Estefan stepped forward and the entire crowd went wild.“Good evening everyone, it's such an honor to be here today,” he started. “First, I want to com

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

ESTEFAN'S POVAfter two excruciating hours which felt like a lifetime, our plane descended to the ground and stopped moving. 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

Sitting beside the Prince whose name I found out to be Estefan, was my sister who wouldn't stop talking about her newest contract with The Empire's Fashion house just to impress the prince and the family. 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

He laughed as he kept taking more pictures.We were at it for three hours because I had to take more pictures in another five outfits.
