RHEA'S POVNIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING The last two days passed by in a blur with the wedding on everyone's lips. I sat on my bed, staring at the white sparkling dress worn on the mannequin in front of me. Back when we were young, Leah and I would always talk about our dream wedding and wedding dress. I had always imagined my dress to be a full, long, off-shoulder ball gown with long sleeves, designed with white diamonds that sparkle under the light. It seems like my mom had registered my childhood dream in her mind and got me the exact dress I wanted.Esmeralda and Anna have been filling me in on everything that was going on with the wedding and I realised every single thing was done to my taste. It was so ironic that everything starting from the dress, cake, flowers, and colour scheme was to my liking except for the most important thing which was the man I was getting married to. The conversation we had two nights ago outside my room was still lingering at the back of my mind. I kn

ESTEFAN'S POVI stood in front of the mirror in Esteban's room in my white three pieces suit, gelling my hair to the back. My mom had instructed me to stay out of my room and I had no idea what the reason was. The door opened and I didn't bother to check who it was because I was expecting Esteban to come and help me with my tie since I still haven't learnt how to knot it."What took you so long?" I stretched the white tie with red stripes to him as I kept my eyes fixed on the mirror. If it was up to me, I would have gone with a white tie but the Queen refused since I was already wearing a white suit and insisted that I added a touch of another colour to my outfit. He took the tie from me and my eyes widened when he came to stand in front of me, wrapping the tie around my neck."Dad? I thought it was Esteban." "I told him not to bother since I needed to talk to you anyways." He began to knot the tie. "It's high time you learn how to knot your tie. Esteban won't always be there to he

RHEA'S POVSitting inside my room in the palace, I stared at the wedding band in my fingers with tears gathering in my eyes. It felt like a dream that I had tied the knot with that Ice Prince and I hoped that I wake up from that terrible dream soon.All that hope died when the door opened, revealing the devil himself. "Are you ready?" He asked as he moved closer to him.I glanced up at him with fear written all over my face. As we planned before, a reception party was being held for all the guests in the ballroom where Estefan and I must make an appearance since they couldn't attend the ceremony."Do I have to go?" I whispered."Yes, but you have nothing to worry about since I would be with you and we won't stay for long, I promise." He had a soft expression on his face which took me back for a moment.He stretched his hand toward me and I looked back and forth between his face and his hand for a while before I slowly slipped my hand into his hard, strong hand. He helped me stand up f

RHEA'S POVAfter Estefan left, I remained on the bed with the half-empty glass of water in my hand. I sighed for the tenth time that night as my eyes lingered on the wedding band on my finger. "Rhea, there is no escaping for you anymore. You are now a princess of Spain and you have to learn to live like one," I said to myself as I gulped down the remaining water in the glass and placed it on the lampstand.Feeling uncomfortable in the wedding dress, I took out my shoes first before stretching my hands towards my back to undo the tiny buttons but I couldn't. I tried to stretch my hands farther but I wasn't able to reach the buttons. It was times like this that made me regret giving up ballet, if not I would have had enough shoulder flexibility to help me reach my hands down my back. My shoulders fell as I got tired of trying to take off the dress, and that was when an idea popped into my head. Yanking the door open, I saw the two Palace attendants, taking their position on each side

LEAH'S POVSince I arrived in London, I've been trying to reach Mr Morgan but he wasn't picking up my calls nor was he at his office whenever I went to see him. It was as if he was avoiding me and I was beginning to lose my mind, trying to think of a way to avoid being kicked out of the agency. With my current reputation, it would be hard to get into another agency if Mr Morgan kick me out so I had to think of a way to persuade him and try to turn the situation around for my good. I woke up to my phone ringing early that morning, I checked its screen to see it was my dad calling. Ignoring it, I went back to sleep but he was persistent. It seem he didn't plan on stopping if I didn't answer the call, so I put myself out of my misery by answering the call."Hello," I grumbled. "Leah, why didn't you answer my calls?" "Because you were disturbing my sleep. Why are you even calling me this early? Aren't you supposed to be preparing for your favourite daughter's wedding?" The news of E

RHEA'S POVIt was 4:30 am when I woke up to write the last chapter of my book; Royal Deception. The deadline for entry in the writing contest was the end of the month, so I had two weeks to finish editing and submitting the book. I tried not to type too hard on my laptop so I wouldn't wake Estefan who was still sleeping soundly with the noise that the keys made. Sleeping on the same bed with him was so uncomfortable since I was used to having an entire bed all to myself. Maybe I could convince him to let us have separate rooms when he wakes up because I didn't think I could cope with the new setting.Estefan stirred beside me and I pretended not to notice still he sat up. "Why are you awake this early?" He asked in a deep morning voice."I get my best inspiration at the time of the day and besides, it was so uncomfortable to sleep here." I shifted my attention from my laptop to look at him and I regretted I did.His hair was ruffled on his head, giving him that sexy morning look. It

RHEA'S POVStepping out of the elevator in a white shirt and black leggings, Estefan and I walked side by side into the living room where my parents and Marilyn were waiting with the royal family."There is my favourite grandchild." Marilyn stood up, pulling me into a hug when I got closer to her. "Don't tell Leah and Grayson that." "Of course, I've been keeping a secret for sixteen years, don't I deserve a reward for that?" I smiled as I pulled away."Yes, you do. Here." She began to kiss me all over my face and I giggled. She stopped, holding my face in her arms as tears gathered in her eyes. "I'm going to miss you, my little bunny." She sniffed as she couldn't hold back the tears anymore.Pulling her closer, I wrapped my arms around her neck. "Grandma, please don't cry. If you keep crying, I'm going to start crying too." I buried my face in her hair, preventing the tears gathering in my eyes from falling. "That's enough, Marilyn." My mom rubbed her shoulder, making her pull away

RHEA'S POVDriving into the private airport of the royal family, I looked through the tinted windows to see a white jet with the Spain flag painted boldly on the side. The car stopped beside the jet with two other cars behind it as an escort. A guard opened the door and Estefan stepped out. I was about to climb out when he held his hand out for me, I took it and stepped out of the car. The guards dragged our suitcase behind us as we strode towards the jet and ascend the stairs to go inside."Welcome aboard, Your Highnesses, " a fair-skinned lady in a black suit dress greeted us as we stepped inside the jet. "I'm Martha and I will be your hostess for today. If you need anything, I will be at your service.Estefan nodded curtly while I gave a bright smile muttering a 'thank you'. She led us to our sear before leaving with the guard. I took the seat next to the window while Estefan sat beside me in silence. Ever since we left the palace, he hasn't said a word to me and I couldn't care l
