CARLY “You don’t have to bring her meal every day or cook for her, Mr. Thorn. Her Royal Highness can take care of herself now. She now learned how coffeemaker and toaster work. “I knew how to use them since before,” I defended myself when she started to exaggerate things. “She even made us sandwiches today without burning my new pan.” “Just let him in.” I rolled my eyes as I put my cup and saucer into the dishwasher. “Look? She learned that too. I wish I have pushed her sooner to go out on a date if she could learn this fast in the kitchen. I wonder if she learned something else…” I cleared my throat. “In the bedroom…” she trailed off. “I mean, bed making.” “Her Royal Highness is a smart woman, Ms. Baseem.” “I have no doubt, Seth.” She left us and shut the door behind her. “Ma’am, you seem with Mr. Langston quite often.” I arched a brow. “And is there a problem with that?” “No, ma’am. I want to make sure he’s treating you all right. Does he know who you are?” I grabbed m

ROME It was at the tip of my tongue. But something was holding me. Maybe it was Carly. She wasn’t ready to hear me confessing my professed love to her. Yes. I fell in love with her. I may not have told her yet, but I was more of an action-speaks-louder-than-words kind of guy. I acted it than saying it out loud. I checked the time. It had been more than an hour since she left, and she was supposed to be here by now. I couldn’t wait as I watched her walk into my office door and throw herself into me, saying she enjoyed her time with her aunt. I blew a deep breath. I considered breaking our weekend agreement and inviting Carly to my house after work. My wondering as I stared at the skyline was cut off short by a knock. I knew it was Zee judging by its distinctive tap. “Come in, Zee.” I didn’t even bother looking at him. “Mr. Langston.” Mr. Langston? That caught my attention. I turned to him. “Zee, what is it?” “You have a visitor, sir.” “I’m not expecting anyone at this mome

CARLY Well, my worse nightmare just became a reality. Although I was thrilled to see my brother, Ash, and Stellan, I was so sad about the terrible news that my grandfather was indeed ill. After the revelation of my identity, Rome wouldn’t even look me in the eye anymore. The silence in the car was profound until we arrived. I immediately regretted keeping this secret from him. I went with him to his penthouse because I needed to explain to him why I had to keep it from anybody, but he wouldn’t even give me a chance to speak about it. -I hurt him. It breaks my heart -What should I do now? -I need help. Give me a sign. Please? After a moment to gather my thoughts, I spoke. “You know the reason. What I told you before was all true.” He scoffed. “Yet you missed mentioning to me the vital part that you are a royal family member.” “It’s not even a big deal.” I shrugged off. But that was not even true. I couldn’t walk alone without a detail following me. Even though I wasn’t aware

ROME It wasn’t the dinner that made me anxious. It was after the dinner—the possibility of not seeing Carly again. It was what I wanted for her—to live out there, doing the job she loved. I couldn’t hold that against her. I knew she missed her family and seeing them might change her perspective. Her feelings for me might change, too. There was no guarantee what we had would pan out, considering what kind of people they were and my family business was here. I would never blame Carly if she decided to be with her family and picked up what she had left off. It was who she was, and I would always support her all the way from a thousand miles away. “What’s on your mind?” She squeezed my hand as we rode toward the address of the house her brother had rented. “That I might punch your ex again,” I cracked a joke. She smiled. “You don’t have to waste your strength for him.” “Oh, that was for you,” I proudly said as I arched a brow. “I think I can defend my honor, Langston.” “I have no

ROME The Prince looked at me. “Carlott did not mention she led the Polo Team, did she?” “I’m afraid she did not, Prince Thayer.” I smiled. I should have known. “Oh, she’s good at it. She’s very natural.” “Last month, she went to Haiti to help plant trees with the volunteers.” And I didn’t know that. Hence, the trees and flowers. The first course was served, then another followed. We had a pleasant dinner, sharing a light conversation about the Caprean. I learned more about who Carly was before she came to the U.S. She was molded to fit into that shoe. I wouldn’t wonder why she was so heartbroken. She’d been working her ass off since she was very young, yet when she made a mistake, people judged her in a blink of an eye and forgot the things she did to make a difference. They dubbed her Rebellious Princess on social media, which was not even the worse. She called her names, a charlatan, a Rogue Princess. A lot of things came to my mind. I wondered what my life would be like

CARLY “Come with me. You can take a few days off.” I didn’t want to let him go. I was not ready yet. “Please?” “You have to go and sort things out. And I’m not going anywhere.” He cupped my face and pressed his lips into mine. But it wasn’t enough. I needed him by my side. “But I need you.” I felt like I want to cry again. “I need you too, but you have things that need to be settled and done with your family. This is your chance.” I looked away, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t convince you, can I?” “You don’t need to convince me. When things get better, the dust has settled, and you don’t have time to come and see me, I will visit you.” “Visit me, huh?” My tears finally fell. “Why do I feel this is a goodbye?” “No, sweetheart. This is just the beginning. I will be waiting for you. None of us is giving up. Do you understand me?” “Yes.” I nodded even if my heart disagreed. “Good. Now go. Call me whenever you can. I’m going to miss you.” He kissed me again, the kind of kiss

ROME“What the fuck are you all doing here?” I shot a glare at my friends marching in my direction.“Nice place you got here, bro,” Kye said. Of course, they knew this place. They helped me install the camera and security system of the cabin.”“You did not answer my question. I’m here because I wanna stay away from someone like you all.”They all smirked because they knew that was impossible, and I was fooling myself. Honestly, I really could use their help. I wanted them to tell me to move on, and I also wanted them to tell me to fight for Carly.“Cenric and Sadie extend their congratulations,” Linden said.“For what?” I opened the gate.Zee parked the SUV in my driveway, and they all jumped out as if I had just opened the gate to the hottest sex club in town.“I’m happy for you, bro.” Sax hugged me so tight, slapping my back.“What are you all talking about?”“If I hadn’t known you, brother, I would have believed you for a second. So this is how you’re going to play it? Fine. You an

CARLY This is not happening. I put my hand that had touched my grandfather on my chest. I had not even settled in. Everything just happened so fast, and now things in the palace, the cottage, and the manor were changing. Staff was juggling a lot, and I’d never felt more useless. We were supposed to take a break for a moment to mourn, and it seemed that was not the case here. As they said, life must go on. Everyone was back in business, even if it was declared a national holiday until the Late King was sent to his resting place. Not in this place. For most people, this was the first time to witness the death of the King, as King Kamrun IV had reigned for decades. It felt surreal. I was just holding his hand. Suddenly, he was gone. And now my father was the King. And just made his first speech, addressing the country and the world that his beloved father had passed away. I felt suddenly exhausted—drained that I had no one to hold onto. I went to my room after I couldn’t bea

The Billionaire's Rogue Princess Epilogue
ROME Winterbourn, four years later Getting the work done and going home to my wife, Princess Carlott, and my son, Eughan, was always the best part of the day. Since I met Carly, I have appreciated and valued the importance of family even more. I was the luckiest to have a family in the States and a family in Triberis Capria. My company made an obscene amount of money. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world and married to a royal princess was only a bonus, but having a healthy relationship, a wonderful and supportive wife, and a mini-me was such a blessing. I went inside our home. The three-story villa was my dream house with complete amenities. The private door to the study was a significant upgrade. And Carly loved it. My gaze caught the leather couch from my cabin. It meant a lot to us, so Carly delivered it to our home. We had a charity gala to attend tonight. My son was probably in his play area or in the backyard. He loved puzzles and board games. He also enjoyed

ROME It was the best two months of being married to my wonderful wife, Princess Carlott. Our church wedding was spectacular and perfect. My family, friends, and loved ones were around. Carly loved the fifteen-minute surprise drone show and was teary the whole time. A week later, a new royal family member was born. The Duchess gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Princess Aaliyah Aleksiea. I saw the look in my wife’s eyes as we first lay an eye on her niece. And I knew if we were blessed, she would be ready to be a mother. After our tour of over eight cities, we flew to the States. We visited my mother in her office. We also met my brother, and he started working at the Langston Realty Group. Then we had dinner with my brothers. My life was good. “What’s with the smile? The bride hasn’t arrived.” I leaned to kiss my wife on her head. Today was Zee and Heera’s wedding day. We became their principal sponsors since Carly and I were already married. Heera replaced Carly as her maid o

CARLY For the first time in many years, I felt genuine happiness. I found the love of my life. And here we were, spending our honeymoon on an island so breathtaking. The ocean was so blue and calm. And I lay beside the man who completed me, taught me to accept my flaws, gave me love, and showed me the meaning of life. “What are you smiling about?” He lifted my chin—eyes filled with humor and devotion. I sighed deeply. “When someone told me I’ll get married and be this happy months ago, I would have told her she’s crazy.” “Are you happy being married, sweetheart?” “Do you really have to ask me that?” “Just wanna make sure you’re not regretting already.” I touched his face. I’d never seen him shaved clean, but his beard had grown on me, and I thought he looked perfectly handsome with it. “I’m gonna marry you again in fifteen days.” “Good answer, or I will kidnap you and take you to the altar myself.” He lay back beside me. “No need to take drastic measures. I promise to be the

ROME Carly and I arrived at the private beach house owned by her family. As we reached the threshold of the room, a king-size bed draped with fluffy white sheets and thrown red flower petals, candlelit, and flowers scattered around the room. Carly went silent beside me. She was talkative on our way, teasing me throughout the ride, and she suddenly seemed speechless. When I turned to her, I cupped her face and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. “I can’t still believe you are my wife now.” “Believe it, husband.” She wiggled her fingers and showed me the wedding band and the engagement ring. “You’re beautiful.” I ran the back of my fingers on her cheek, down her exposed shoulder. “I’m nervous.” Her eyes fluttered close, and a gasp slipped her lips. “I love you.” I brought myself close to her and kissed her on the forehead, her nose, and then her parted lips. “So do I.” I found the zip of her dress, slowly lowered down her back, and let it fall to the floor, and she stoo

ROME I felt a soft kiss on my forehead. I heard her voice, my Storm, and someone very familiar. Before my ass got frostbite, thanked God the rescuers arrived. Then I couldn’t remember what had happened after that. I thought I was going to die and not see Carly, my family, and my friends again. That was the scariest I had experienced in my entire life— the hopelessness—the regrets. Leaving the people, you loved without a proper goodbye. And you wished for another chance that would not come. Was there an afterlife? My family and I believed in God. When times like this, sometimes you prayed, and it seemed you weren’t heard, you started to doubt. Despite that, I prayed for the safety of everyone I loved. I prayed to come back home to Carly. I always thought about her— she must be terrified of me not coming back alive. Then I felt her warm hand— the soft squeezed against mine. How I wished her a warm body that stormy day. I really didn’t know the weather would be that terrifying i

CARLY “What took them so long to find him?” I yelled at Seth. He came over to the cabin the moment I called him that Rome was in trouble. “I already sent them where he is stranded.” Time was running out for Rome, it had been forty-five minutes, and I had not heard the good news. “Calm down, Princess. They’re doing their best to get there in time. The storm is getting stronger, and it’s difficult for them to go by air, and the road was blocked by snowfall.” “So you’re telling me my fiance is gonna die out there?” I picked up my phone and put on my coat. “I’ll go find him myself.” “That’s the worse idea.” He blocked my way. “Do you think he’s gonna let you go out there and risk your life?” “Well, good thing he’s not here.” I glared at him. He was tall and bulky, like a Viking warrior, and he could just throw me over his shoulder and stuff me in the closet if he wanted to. “Just give them a few more minutes.” “And then what? Rome is already frozen the moment they get there.” “I’

ROME“So, this permanent now, huh? Are you planning on taking dual citizenship?”“Zee, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m happy for you and Heera.” I hugged him one more time.“You can still call me if you need me.”“Unless you and Heera want to have a family in Winterbourn, then I can hire you back. But right now, focus your time on her. We’ll be there on your wedding day.”“And you will be married at that time.”“Yup. Twenty days feels like twenty years.”His smile turned into a grin. “I can relate, brother.”“You two are done with heart-to-heart? We’re gonna be late for our flight.” Cade walked past us, climbing into the jet.“Go, and I know you miss your princess. Say hi to me, and tell her to take care of you.”“I will, bro.”“Safe flight.”I worked on my laptop during the flight. Cade decided to take a nap since he’d been up all day. He just came from a successful kidnap rescue mission.I met with Linden, Sax, and Kye earlier, and it was hard to leave them behind, but they wo

CARLY Since I met Rome, I learned a few things in the kitchen. I could now make sandwiches and boil water without burning the whole kitchen down. I could make an omelet and pasta sauce. I finally put the food processor to good use. “Hey. Are you going out tonight?” I called him out from the kitchen. He had changed to casual from the suit he had worn earlier before work. Yeah, we finally had a good conversation. We were not really back like how we used to be, and we had not slept together, but we were getting there. And I was happy with that. “Yeah. Did I forget to tell you?” He seemed to think about it. “You don’t tell me shit, Romare.” I continued stirring the sauce in the pot. “Whoa.” He arched a brow. “We talked about using words, Carlott Laylin Jemaine Storm Gattewarde Braynburd. And you just called me by the name you hate.” “I don’t hate your name. And next month, I will hyphenate Langston.” I tapped the wood ladle a little bit stronger on the pot. “Will the palace allow
The Billionaire's Rogue Princess 54
ROME I knew this day would come when your own making would bite you back in the ass. And it was happening right now, and I couldn’t do anything to avoid it. I still fought the urge with every bit of my sanity left not to carry her, throw her in the bed, and do what had been in my head that drove me crazy for two months. And I have been celibate since— when she was about to reach her ecstasy, I teased her some more and then let her come around my tongue and licked her dry. And maybe I began making her ache again until she begged me to fuck her. But before that, I would feast her first. I missed her taste, body, lips wrapped around me, and tight, warm pussy. All I did in the bathroom was jacked off— I was fully loaded all the time, and every time I saw her sweet ass swaying before me, her pert tits and nipples hardening as if she was cold or remembering naughty things we did together, I had to think of something nasty. Right now, she just joined me in bed and slipped into my duvet a
