RHEA'S POVI sat in front of the mirror as Kim curled my hair, letting them fall on my back in waves. 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

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

LEAH'S POV"That's beautiful, Leah. Now give me something cute," the cameraman yelled as I strike different poses, wearing a blue gown from the new fashion line that the Empire fashion house would be launching soon under the bright light of the studio as 7rings by Ariana Grande played in the background."Gorgeous. Now give me something sexy." He moved around to get the picture from different angles.Opening the slit of the blue gown I wore, I stuck my bare legs out and give him a seductive smile."Enchanting." 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. The job of a model can be stressful and time-taking but I wasn't complaining because I loved the fame and money that came with it."Okay, that's a wrap," the company's managing director said after I'd taken pictures with the last outfit. "Good job everyone, especially you Leah." "Thanks, Mr. Cedric." I smiled at him as I went back into the chang

LEAH'S POVStepping into the restaurant twenty minutes later, my eyes scanned the room and stopped when they landed on a familiar dirty blond hair guy whose attention was fixed on his phone. A smile made its way to my face as approached him slowly, taking in his appearance. He was looking devilishly handsome in an all-white outfit, making him appear like a big bad handsome wolf in sheep's clothing; a wolf I wouldn't mind being bitten by."Hi." I took the seat opposite him."Miss Knight, one of the things I hate the most is people coming late to an appointment." He glanced up from his phone. "I'm a man who strictly keeps to time and I don't appreciate others wasting my time by coming late." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I got delayed a bit when I was about to leave the studio.""It's fine, I'm only letting you know in case of next time." He turned his attention back to his phone.Next time, that was the word that stuck in my head. It means that he wanted to hang out with me again. If
