The Billionaire's Rogue Princess 42
CARLY It’s happening. I couldn’t believe my father would do something like this to me. He always put everything under his control. Well, considering he was the King, everything was under his control right now, but not to the point. Even my heart, his own daughter’s heart, he had to control its beating. “Sweetheart, what is going on?” Rome followed me inside the house as I packed my things into my bag, “I can’t believe my father did this to you. He always steps ahead of everything. Why can’t he just leave me alone?” I yelled, throwing my hands in the air as I looked at Rome. I could barely see him through my blurry sight, but he looked so hurt. God, I wished I could take those pain away. I just hurt the man I loved. It broke my heart, but what he did was not right. I didn’t want him to regret forcing himself into marriage because my father told him to do so. And I was doing him a favor. “I don’t understand. Help me and make me understand, Storm.” “I love you so much. Do you know

ROME “I think that’s enough, man.” Linden looked at the empty bottles of beer and whiskey on the table. I didn’t have to ask how he found me. Zee probably asked his help since I didn’t budge. I’d been at the Night Stalker since ten and lost track of time. It was probably morning, but who cared? I needed to forget her, to get rid of her out of my life. “Don’t you ever tell me you know how I feel, Linden?” I pointed at him. I was drunk, and I could barely keep my eyes open. “Because you have no fucking idea what it feels like to be turned down, dumped by the only woman I’ve ever loved, and broken at the same time.” “I’m not gonna tell you that, bro. And I definitely have no idea what you are going through right now. But that’s why I am here.” “To do what exactly? To talk about how Storm broke my heart? No thanks.” I tried to stand up, but the room started spinning. “I think I’m drunk.” Linden caught me in the arms. I wasn’t aware he didn’t come alone. “We got you, bro. We got you.”

CARLY “Thank you for doing this,” I told Linden, who seemed not so thrilled to pick me up from the private airport. This was my one last chance, or I would lose Rome forever because of what? My stupidity for believing that my father forced him to propose to me. And here I was, back in the States, trying to win back my man. “Oh, don’t take it personally. I’m doing this for Rome.” He was glaring outside the window of the sedan. “I know. And I know you’re mad at me, but I’m here to make things right between Rome and me.” “Yeah, after almost a month. Way to go, Princess.” “I’m sorry.” “Save it. You need a lot of that.” I knew I ruined our friendship, and regretting would not bring back that strained relationship. I pressed my lips together before I spoke again. “I know, and I’m willing to do everything to win him back.” “Langston has a heart of gold, but he’s fragile despite his cranky, broody, and alpha persona. He’s not a terrible person. He’s just in a terrible situation righ

CARLY The car became dead silent. We finally arrived at the cabin. Sax punched some codes, and the gate slid open. Once we parked, my heart started beating wildly. My nerves began to rattle me. I blew breaths a thousand times, but it was worthless. “Just be honest and be yourself.” Linden held my arms. “You can do this.” “Not so long ago. You wanna wring my neck.” I glared at him. “I’m protective of my brother. And I will never stop doing that.” I nodded. “I know. Thanks for taking care of him while I was away.” “Good luck.” “I badly need that.” Zee came up to the porch with me to unlock the door. “Take a breath.” “Thanks.” My pace was unbelievably low as my knees began to weaken. I was already in the living when Rome just walked downstairs, and he had not seen me. God, he still looked incredibly handsome despite his growing beard. He was in a simple white t-shirt and jeans and may have lost a few pounds, but he looked perfect in my eyes. My heart told me to run to him

ROME “What the fuck, man?” Linden came, narrowing at me. “Did you just kick her out?” “That’s exactly what I did,” I proudly said, even if my heart disagreed. “And stop helping her with her stupid ideas because she and I are not going to happen.” Fuck. What happened to us? Not so long ago, we were at our happiest, and it seemed nothing could tear us apart. Until she walked away from me. I told her I loved her because that was how I felt. Even now, I still love her. I never stopped. I gave up my job for her. But I wouldn’t go through that pain again until she was sure what she wanted in her life, and if I meant for her, I was sure she could wait until I was ready. I wouldn’t let her play with my heart. That was not how love worked. But seeing her in my house today was the best feeling since she walked out of my life. At least she looked fine and still looked beautiful despite losing weight. And watching her cry as she apologized, I thought I stubbed my chest over and over agai

CARLY “Your Royal Highness, I have an update for you?” Seth marched in. Heera went out on a date with Zee, and I was left in the apartment in my PJs. I hadn’t combed my hair. I only washed my face to remove the smudged makeup on my face. And I brushed my teeth after I was able to put something in my stomach. “Mr. Langston has arranged a meeting with you.” I froze for a while. Did I hear it right? I paused the docuseries I was watching. “Come again?” I turned to Seth. “Mr. Langston would like to see you, ma’am. You should wear something presentable. He will be here any minute from now.” “I’m fine. He’d seen me at my worse. What does he want?” I hid my excitement. Maybe he wanted to kick me out of his city this time. If I knew one thing about Langston, he was true to his words. Perhaps he still cared, but I lost all my hopes of getting us back together. And I didn’t know how to escape the fate that was waiting for me back home. “Princess—” “I said I’m good. Let him go to h

ROME“How did it go?” “She did not suspect me. I’ll be waiting for her answer tomorrow.”“And she thought it was a business deal.”“Yeah.”“That’s great. Keep it that way. And Rome, I trust you that you will take care of my sister. Just go easy on her.”“I love her, Prince Thayer. That’s the truth, and it won’t change. I’m just teaching her a lesson.”“Just no other women. You don’t want to see the look on her face for days.”I laughed. “Is your advice based on experience?”“Yes, and it’s still taunting me.” He laughed with me.“No other women, I promise.”“Great. Thank you.”“No. It should be me thanking you.”“My pleasure.” I ended the call.“That’s the worse plan you’ve ever come up with. Why not just admit that you don’t want her to marry the scumbag.”“Just shut up, Linden.”He shook his head in amusement. “Love. Love makes people do stupid things. And teaching her a lesson? You mean hurting the love of your life. What more stupidest idea than that?”“I’m not listening to someon

CARLY I arrived back home. My work was waiting for me. I was still worried that I might be making my biggest life mistake. I loved Rome with all my heart, and I couldn’t drag and tie him over a sham marriage. At the same time, I was also selfish, thinking about my own happiness and maybe, one day, he’d learn to trust and love me again. When I looked at Rome, all I could see was the cold and brooding man I first met wrapped in the hard shell of his expensive suit. I knew he had a good heart, but that good heart had gone cold because of me. But I had hope. “You’re back.” My brother rushed in my direction, pulling me into a hug. “Tell me some good news.” “I missed you too. How’s my baby prince, and how’s Kennedy?” When he pulled away, he furrowed his brows. “They’re great. How about you?” I went to the sofa and sat there. “I don’t know if I made the right decision. We kinda made a deal.” “What deal?” He joined me. I told him everything— well, except the contract—the deal I made

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

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
