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

ESTEFAN'S POVDescending the stairs, I met John talking on the phone in the living room, oblivious to my presence. I stood behind him with folded arms as I waited for him to finish up with his call.He turned around to meet my piercing glare and he stepped back in shock. "I'll call you back," he said to the person on the phone before hanging up. "Your Highness, is there something you need my help with?" "Yes, I need you to help me get the boat to the beach," I replied.It was only a matter of time before Rhea hopped down the stairs, and I didn't want her to witness what I was going to do to that idiot."Okay, sir." He walked toward the back exit of the house where the basement is located. I followed behind him in silence till he opened the basement door and stepped in. There were three Speed boats in the room, ranging from the colour white, red and blue. "Which one of them do you want me to bring out?" He turned to me as he asked.Without replying to his question, I took menacing s

RHEA'S POV"That was so much fun, can we go again?" I jumped as Estefan brought that boat back to the shore."No." He turned off the boat and climbed down. "Why not?" I stomped my foot on the floor of the boat."We have been on the water for three hours, I'm exhausted and starving. I'm sure you are too, so let's go inside." He held his hand out for me to help me climb down."Fine," I grumbled as I took his hand and jumped down.We walked back into the house to meet two ladies laughing over something on the phone. They didn't seem to notice our presence as they were engrossed in what they were looking at. "Are you here to work or slack off?" Estefan's voice boomed in the living room, making everyone in the room jump in shock including me."We are sorry, Your Highness. We didn't notice when you came in," the lady with the chestnut-brown hair said as they bowed their head. They both had dark eyes and looked like they are in their twenties."Is lunch ready?" He asked."Yes, Your Highnes

ESTEFAN'S POVIt was Day two of our honeymoon and according to Esteban's schedule, we were to visit the Bishop museum that afternoon and have a 'romantic dinner' that evening. I was sitting in the living room for almost an hour waiting for Rhea to finish dressing up, so we can leave for the Museum. Rachel and Jenna were upstairs in our room, helping her to pick an outfit because she said and I quote, "I want to capture my first time in the museum and I need to look perfect in it." I couldn't bring myself to argue with her, so I left her to do as she pleased even though I wanted to tell her that she looked perfect in whatever she wears.In what felt like ages, Rhea descended the stairs in a blue laced armless dress that stopped mid-thigh, pairing it with black sandal heels, and her copper blonde hair was falling in waves behind her, reaching her waist. I had to admit that she looked perfect but there was no way I would say that to her face. "Is this the reason why I was kept waiting
