In a furious rage, I paced back and forth and threw out curses known to man.
One of my bodyguards came down from Kennedy’s room. Judging by the look on his face, I already figured out what he was about to say.
“Where’s the woman assisting Kennedy?”
“She’s in the room.” He dropped his gaze, colors draining from his face.
“What the fuck is she doing there?” My blood boiled, knowing nobody could talk to Kennedy to change her mind or stop her until I arrived.
I forced myself to think straight, but nothing I could think of other than my selfishness and guilt screwing my head.
“Miss Arina has the jewelry, and she’s— she’s crying, worried of losing her job, Your Highness.” Of course, she was.
If Lud couldn’t stop her from leaving, what Arina could have done? Kennedy was no weakling—she was strong-willed, smart, and motivated, but she was also fiery and impatient.

KENNEDY A hum—buzz. Pressure. A little shaky. What happened? I was drinking wine. Seconds later, I saw a glimpse of those familiar dark eyes before my world went dark. I licked my lips. My throat was dry as a desert. The humming continued. Typically, I stretched in bed before I got up, but this bed seemed small and uncomfortable for my back. Blinking my eyes open, I finally realized that I wasn’t in my bed. I quickly rose to my feet only to get tugged my ass back, slumping to the chair. All my senses woke up—the humming and pressure. Oh, my God. I was secured in a seat belt. My heart was in my throat. It suddenly registered to me. I held and tried to unbuckle when a clearing of a throat stopped me. “You won’t do that if I were you.” My head snapped to the voice at the far-end corner, grinning at me. Filled

THAYER After my security team informed me that Blue Jay just landed, I left right away. Yeah, that was Kennedy’s code name—it fit perfectly for her. Usually, I’d stay for a while during my official engagements, but not today. It took every ounce in my power to remain calm as I marched towards the waiting car. “She’s pissed.” Those were the first words I heard from the other line. It was understandable, considering what Ash and Lud just did to her. “Who wouldn’t be? But I’ll make up to her,” I said to Ash. “She’s pissed at me. She kicked Lud’s shin and shouted at us the entire flight.” “I’ll apologize for her on your behalf.” I didn’t usually apologize, but I wanted her to trust them again, and I intended to gain it back as well. “I don’t know. Even if you give her the moon, Your Highness. She’s different today. And it bleeds my heart that she cried because of what we did.”

KENNEDY I thought I went a little bit too far. Watching his reaction and the way how I treated him last night came back taunting me. What was I thinking? Of course, I wasn’t thinking at all. I was mad, and I let that emotion dominate me. The Princess didn’t seem to care, though. If I was right with her reaction, she was having fun seeing the discomfort on her son’s face. Was I still mad? Damn right, I was. After what he did to me, even if he would give me a thousand orgasms, it would not suffice. Satisfaction swelled in my chest as I walked away. I was not close to done. I just even barely started. If he thought his sorry would

THAYER Another successful engagement for today. Those little angels were breathtaking as I watched huge grins on their faces before I waved goodbye. As I climbed up the car, I felt empty again. I was supposed to be going home to the woman I loved welcoming me with a tight hug and passionate kiss after a tiring day. Then we shared a delicious meal, later on, we made love the whole night. But those were just but dreams. The way she left me, she was giving me a hard time. And I knew she was doing it on purpose, but damn, well, I deserved it. I still fucking hated the thought of heading out while things between us were left unfixed. Still, she was driving me insane every time my mind lingered on her sweet plump lips, her pert luscious breasts, and those tiny buds begging to be suckled, and her moans as I tasted her sweet wet heat. I closed my eyes when my cock started to strain in my pants. “

KENNEDY I miss New York. I missed my parents, my friends, and even my job. My throat started to clog. Maybe, this would be my life for a few days or weeks. Patience is a virtue. Who knew? One day, I would be back to my ordinary life, away from this fuss and luxuries. For the next couple of hours, I tried my best to enjoy what I had and where I was right now—in the nightclub as I danced with Princess Carlott. She never ceased to surprise me. Carlott was not the typical princess. She may have everything but also knew how to have some fun. Press may label as a party princess, but she also did her duties thoughtfully. For the first time since my abduction, I felt carefree. Every time a guy came to dance with me, within a second, he was gone. It frustrated me because I wanted to dance with someone other than Carlott. But no chance. Everywhere I loo

THAYER Seeing her reaction was priceless. She may have forgotten to check that toy before she woke up. Her cheeks burned furiously. Still grinning, I rose to my feet and buttoned my suit jacket. I moved to her side and kissed the top of her head. “Anyway, if you need bigger than that. All you have to do is send me a text. I’ll see you in the afternoon.” I walked out and left Kennedy still speechless in her seat. In the study, my PA Marko was giving me briefings regarding some changes in my schedules when a knock interrupted us. “I have something I want you to check out. I’ll send the details to you later.” “Of course, Your Highness. Your dinner in Burkhese tonight. Miss Gilby is expected to be there with your family.” He opened the door. To my surprise, it was my woman, smiling at Marko. “Be there in a minute,” I dismissed Marko. “To what do I owe this pleasure, darling?” She locked

KENNEDY It was a family dinner. Again, I didn’t know what I was doing here. I pinched myself under the table for the second time. The fact that I was sitting across the future king, I felt like I was in another universe. They looked regal. The apparent Prince was in his formal suit. The graying hair was scattered across his head. Thayer got his eyes from his father—fierce, deep, and expressive. And also his height—Prince Isodore was so tall and medium built. The rest of his son’s features came from Princess Aimrose. Carlott sat beside her carbon copy—her mother. From the color of her hair to the shape of her face. “Is my son treating you well, Kennedy? I hope you don’t mind if I call you Kennedy.” My gaze flew back to him. I smile timidly, even if I wanted to blurt out how his son kidnapped, teased me, and then treated me like his precious gemstone when he was in his

THAYER“She’s been with Father for thirty minutes now.” I checked the time.“You’re over-reacting. It’s only been fifteen. And it’s not that Daddy would harm Kennedy. But that speech, huh? If you could only see your reaction, brother.” Carlott sighed. “You two are wasting time. Why not make it up, make out, and make babies? I’d love to take care of my nieces and nephews.” She placed down her drinks on the table. “You two would be a great and powerful couple together.”“Stop teasing your brother, Carlott. Leave it to them to settle their differences. I do not doubt Kennedy. Your brother would be in good hands.”“Oh, please, when you two are talking as if I’m not here.” I walked away. “I have to check her.”“You’re no fun!” Carlott yelled behind me.I wondered why my father summoned Kennedy and

THAYER Three years later… It was my wife’s birthday today. After our last public engagement this week, I planned to take her to our private property in the Caribbean. The sun shone overhead. Her skin glistened as she basked the beach in warmth. I still couldn’t get enough of her after all these years of happy marriage. I still got the same reaction as if the first time I saw her every time I came home from work. She was busy with her work as the people’s Duchess, Princess Kennedy, but she never neglected to take care of me, even during our hectic days. She still made me feel loved. “Stop staring at me.” She was lying on the small blanket splayed on the sand only in a two-piece bikini. A wicked grin touched my lips. “Why not? When I got the most precious prize.” I could feel her rolling her eyes beneath the sunglasses. “Oh, my God, babe. Can’t you think of another

KENNEDY I love you. Those words I felt in my heart, embedded to my soul that I’d been wanted to say to him. Finally, now he knew how I felt for him. My heart was filled with everything. “I love you, Kennedy.” His voice was breathy. His words were like my salvation. He laid me down on the bed. I opened and slid my lips against his. He pushed his tongue into my mouth. We were still fully clothed, but I felt as though we were both naked. Emotions coiled through me as we deepened the kiss. This was it. I was in love with the man who cared for his family, for his friends, and his people. And because of my love for him, I took a huge risk to be a part of his world. I broke the kiss, gasping sharply. “Babe, take off your clothes.” In just a few seconds, we were both naked, and standing at the foot of the bed was the most beautiful man I’d ever laid eyes on—h

THAYER Those furious, disgust, and hurt brewed in her beautiful blue eyes. Even if how many times I tried to blink it off or push it out of my head, they wouldn’t dissolve. There was no denying her feelings for me were still there, our connections were still powerful, but she was mad.What have I done?How could I let that happen? “So, no Cruise wedding then?” Ash asked. “Impossible.” I sipped the most potent liquor this bar could offer. Nothing could compare to the burning sensation as I swallowed down the words Kennedy had thrown at me. My parents and sister had flown to Dubai. They would be staying there for a while. “Are we spending New Year here?” Lud asked. “What’s bad about it?” “I wanna spend with Carlott,” he said bluntly. “Then go.” “She would understand. You still have two days to grovel.” He patted my shoulder. “Good l

KENNEDY I’d never been afraid in my entire life that knowing exactly how you’d going to die. At first, I thought he was bluffing, messing with me so that I could say yes, but when I realized we were above the ocean, that was when I started to worry. He was not going to let us drown in the ocean even if I knew he could swim. What if there were sharks?Oh, my God. I could only manage to breathe and feel relieved when he deployed the canopy, but I wouldn’t let this go. That was a promise. He would get what he deserved. He nearly killed me with a heart attack. I might not be going to die by drowning or swallowed whole by sharks, but my heart gave up with so much pounding. “Are you trying to land on the cruise? Are you insane?” “Better than into the ocean, don’t you think?” “I thought you’re an expert, asshole!” I would never filter after what he did to me. I nearly died.

THAYER “What’s next?” Lud asked. My gaze flew up to Lucas when he cleared his throat. “We’re not entirely honest with you. You can’t blame us for protecting our daughter, you know. And we made a promise to Kennedy that we won’t tell anyone when someone’s asks where she is.” My chest expanded with hope. “Where is she?” “You can tell her that Lud is very resourceful. Even if she hides in Mexico’s Naica Mine, I will still find her.” Lud managed to lighten up the situation. “How can we find her?” Ash came and joined us in the lounge. “I emailed her two days ago, and she called me using a local number there. She said she’s with a guy named Talal.” “Who the —” I cleared my throat. “Who is Talal?” “Name’s sounds like Arabic. Middle Eastern,” Ash surmised. “Yeah. That’s correct. Talal guy is an instructor.” I chuckled. A small smile spread on my lips. “I know where to

THAYER “Son, where are you? You’re supposed to land two hours ago?” Right on time. We just touched down. The reverse thrust break roared against the airstrip. “I apologize, Dad, but we just landed.” I unbuckled my seatbelt. Ash and Lud were already on alert, gathering the luggage from the bin. “You never call me dad if you won’t apologize or ask a favor, Thayer.” He inhaled audibly to the mouthpiece. “You’re right, Dad. I’m not asking for a favor, though, but an understanding from you. And you know exactly where I am right now even before we land.” I climbed down the airstairs. The memories of how I met Kennedy sprung in my mind. “Very well, then. Are you going to see your grandfather?” “Yes. That’s a part of my plan. Any message you’d like me to relay to Grandfather?” “Just tell him that we can’t wait to see him.” “I’ll relay your message, Dad.” “I won’t get in the middle of whatev

I hadn’t contacted my parents other than an email, telling them that I needed some space.My heart sank.I drew a deep breath, let out, and dialed Mom’s number. She picked right away as if she was expecting my call.“Hey, Mom.”“Honey. Oh, thank God. Where are you? You made us worry.”“I’m fine, Mom. Tell Dad not to worry. I’m having fun, actually.”“Having fun? What kind of fun, honey?” It was Dad. Maybe she put the speaker on.“If I tell you both, could you not tell anyone where I am? I need some time for myself before I come back. But don’t worry, I am doing great.“Can you tell us now?”“I’m in Dubai.”“Dubai? In the Mi

THAYER “Where’s my son?” I was startled by my father’s words. Then I froze like a corpse when I sensed him behind me. He was probably with my mother. I ruined everything. Now, I realized what I just did. I probably lost the woman I loved as well. “Son?” I was fucked-up mess. Shaking, I turned around to face my parents and the consequences I would face. But it wasn’t what I saw before my blurry eyes. “How are you holding up?” my father asked. I shook my head. My emotions were everywhere. What had just happened was like a freight train running over me. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to erase those images out of my mind. Jealousy stabbed me in my chest, and I lost control. I just couldn’t bear someone or those men touching Kennedy. A hot warm liquid rolled down my face. I bit the trembled on my lip, wiping off the tear on my face. “Honey, we’re gonna fix this. Ash is already asking th

My picture flashed on the screen.***It hurt when people judged you something you didn’t even do, but no one could ever imagine what I’d been going through for the last couple of hours, knowing the man I loved had hated me for ruining his life—their lives.I cried into my pillow.My life was ruined.
