RHEA'S POVOn our way back to Spain, I sat farther away from Estefan inside the plane since I was still not speaking to him. He got annoyed every time he spoke to me and received no response, and I had to say it made me happy to see him that way. He deserved far worse than silent treatment for what he did to me. I made use of that opportunity to complete the last chapter of my book and went straight into editing because had less than two weeks left to submit it for the contest. A sigh of relief escaped my mouth when our plane landed in Spain and I wasted no time in making my way out. The guard opened the limousine's door for me and I got in as Estefan followed behind me. We were getting close to the palace when Estefen asked, "How long do you plan to keep this up?" No response."You are acting like a child right now. You know that right?" he continued but I ignored him, putting my headphones in my ear to drown his voice.The Limousine drove into the palace, stopping in front of the
LEAH'S POV I'm unstoppable I'm a Porsche with no brakes I'm invincible Yeah, I win every single game I'm so powerful I don't need batteries to play I'm so confident I'm unstoppable todayI sang along to the music box playing in my room as I dolled myself up before I leave for the Empire Fashion house. Ever since the whole suicide act, I'd been receiving calls from the same people who cast me out. Even Morgan called me to renew our partnership. If I had known that the outcome was going to be that fast and effective, I would have done it a while ago. But either way, everything happened for the best.When I was done getting ready, I went downstairs to join my parents for breakfast. "Good morning dad, Good morning mom." I took my seat with a smile radiating off my face. "I can't believe you are feeling happy right now." My dad stared at me in disbelief. "Of course,
ESTEFAN'S POVThe day has been so busy as Esteban and I had to go represent Dad in a Parliament meeting with all the state officials. Attending meetings like that was something I wouldn't do on a normal day but Esteban begged to go with him because he didn't want to be alone with those old men. Sometimes, I wondered how he was going to cope when he becomes the King when he couldn't even attend a single meeting without me. He was also too carefree, soft-hearted, and trusted people easily. I knew those power-hungry officials would try to use his gentleness against him and push him around when he took over the throne, but I made a promise to myself to protect him and his throne."Is Rhea still not talking to you?" Esteban asked as we got into his car to leave for the palace. "Yeah, and now she's avoiding me." I rolled my eyes as the driver drove out of the building."I heard from Anna that she spent the night in Esmeralda's room." He chuckled. "You know she doing this because you got h
RHEA'S POVSitting on the bed in Esmeralda's room, yes, Esmeralda's room. I had moved out of the room I shared with Estefan because I was still mad at him that I didn't even want to look at him. My laptop sat in front of me and I groaned in frustration when I wasn't satisfied with the editing of my book.No matter how much I edited it, I still didn't find the chapter perfect. The contest was the last for me and I couldn't afford to lose the chance of finally making a name for myself because of some tiny errors. I wished there was someone who had great knowledge about books and writing to help me out.My mind drifted to Estefan as I remembered that he was also into books and had read different varieties to have enough knowledge of them. But there was no way I would ask him for help at the moment. I would rather lose the contest than ask him for help.'Seriously? Would I?'The contest was very important to me but I couldn't bring myself to swallow my pride and let go of my grudge to as
ESTEFAN'S POVBarging into Esteban's room, I met him getting ready for bed. "How dare she walk away from me?" I barked at him.He sighed and sat on the bed. "Let me guess, Rhea didn't like the fireworks show you prepared." "No, she did. I could see the excitement in her eyes when she saw the fireworks up close but they vanished the moment she set her eyes on me and then she walked away from me without saying a word." My face was red with anger and embarrassment as I paced around the room."Understandably, she didn't say anything because she is still giving you the silent treatment, and I believe what she wants from you is not some fireworks show." He shrugged."She should have at least acknowledged my effort. I haven't done anything like that for any girl in the past seven years." "So that means you have done something romantic for a lady before you came into the palace? And here I was, thinking that you never had a girlfriend." He stood up from the bed to come closer to me. "Who is
RHEA'S POVSitting in the front of the mirror was Esmeralda with I standing behind her as I helped her straighten her silky raven hair. "Did you hear that Estefan is going for the interview?" She asked, looking at me through the mirror."Is that supposed to be news?" I raised my eyebrows. "The interview is meant for the members of the Royal Family, so it's only proper that he attends." "That's true, but Estefan has always refused to attend it because he believed it was stupid." "Really? So why is he going this time?" I asked with my eyebrows scrunched together."I heard it's because of you," she sang as she winked at me. What? Why would Estefan do something he has never done before because of me? There must be a sort of misunderstanding there."I'm sure you misheard it. Estefan would never do that because of me." I shook my head."It's true." She turned to me, stopping me from continuing my work with her hair. "Esteban said he was mad yesterday because you walked away from him aft
ESTEFAN'S POVI went into my study after I helped Rhea move her stuff back to our room. My mind drifted back to the interview and I couldn't stop wondering why I said all those things about Rhea. I admitted they were all true but I wasn't ready to express that to her.After the interview, Esteban wouldn't stop teasing me that I had fallen in love with her. I was starting to like her, which I was sure of. But love, no way. There was no way I would fall in love with another Knight sister after the terrible ordeal I went through seven years ago.The sound of my phone ringing pulled me out of my sea of thought. Checking its screen, I sighed when I saw that it was Mr Darlington from Empire Fashion House calling."Hello," I answered with a cold voice. "Your Highness, it's been a while." He laughed but I could tell that he was nervous."Yeah. Is there something I can help you with?" "It's about the contract you agree to sign with us. I..." He started but I cut him off."I assumed that deal
LEAH'S POVThe air conditioning cooled my skin and the soft music playing in the background soothed my ears as I sat in the dressing room of Rose Cosmetics company, applying one of their products to get ready for the photo shoot. My eyes were closed as the Make-up artist stood in front of me, working on my face, and the hair stylist was behind me curling my hair. Shirley sat on the couch behind us doing God knows what."Oh, my God! Prince Estefan is present," she exclaimed. Estefan's name caught my attention and I opened my eyes before turning to look at her, stopping the actions of the two ladies working on me. "What is it?" She stood up to move closer to me with her phone. "The Royal Family interview." She showed me her phone screen where the Spanish Royal family sat with a bunch of reporters in front of them. "The thing is, Prince Estefan has never attended the interview before but to everyone's surprise, he appeared this time," Shirley explained."What about his wife? I thought
