As Diane and Ethan approached them, Aaron took Adele’s arm. “You, me, talk. Now,” Aaron said too loudly, the ringing from the gunfire still doing a number on his ears. “Is this about this morning? I was kind of busy,” she said, knowing that this was not about this morning. Aaron wanted to know what she was doing at Ethan’s side. She didn’t know how it happened, but until today Aaron and Ethan hadn’t met again since that day at the club when Ethan introduced himself as her brother. Aria was putting it off, prolonging the inevitable. She liked not being a princess to him, liked feeling like she was in control of things. That he only knew and saw as much of her as she would allow. Because the truth was she was living a fantasy. This thing between them was never going to be serious, certainly not for him. He’d probably forgotten the names of women he’d spent more time with than her. What’s in name, right? “Who are you Adele?” Just then, Ethan came up to them and threw his arm a

“Anyone who knows Troy Pierce knows that there are no faults, no weaknesses there. He’s the perfect prince. I’m a means to an end, nothing more.” Dean looked down at his wrist and CC saw it. He knew he didn’t have a lot of time before Troy figured out where he was, what he was doing. She knew it too. She just had to keep him busy long enough for Troy to get here. “I thought so too, but then I saw him with you. He allows you to be close to him, lets you in, plays nice with you. Tell me, how do you do it?” “I could ask you the same thing,” she said, her morbid curiosity getting the better of her. “How do you manage to piss off Troy Pierce? I’ve been trying for four months straight and never could quite do what you did in ten minutes.” Dean chuckled. This must be it. She was smart, just like his brother. She didn’t ask what he wanted, showed no fear. Even if she was bluffing, she was doing a damn good job of it. He closed in on her, squatted and took her chin into his hand. She d

2017, October 10thEthan tugged on Aria’s arm as she was on her way out that morning. “Where to?” he asked. “Just heading out to join the morning sparring session,” she shrugged, making her way down the stairs. “It’s not for another hour. Dawn’s just breaking.”“I like to get an early start.”“Oh? Are you sure it has nothing to do with the crown prince waiting for you in the courtyard, Adele?” Ethan's question stopped Aria dead in her tracks. Busted. He descended the stairs, grabbed her arms and turned her towards him. “I thought we agreed that you wouldn’t be seeing him anymore,” Ethan sighed. “He’s leaving in three days Ethan. He doesn’t even know who I am. It’s harmless.”“The hell it is! I’ve been watching you with him. You guys are all over each other and don’t think I haven’t seen the way you’ve been looking at him either. You like the douchebag. He’s just playing with you, Ria.”

“Well knock me over with a feather. You’re a closet nerd!” she said, exploring her surroundings.He sat up, patting the space next to him on the bed. “This is why I don’t usually bring chicks home. They get stupid obsessed with my brain and ignore all this,” he said, indicating towards his body.“They’re probably just blown away that you have a brain,” she said. “I know I am. Advanced Mandarin, Japanese, French, Spanish. How many languages do you speak?!”“Just ten,” he shrugged. “Oh is that all?” she said, flabbergasted. “You’d understand if you met my parents. Henry and Mary demand excellence, no exceptions.” She moved on, taking in all the other little things he had laid out all over the room. He was only visiting, but the room had a lot of obvious personal touches. She tapped a punching bag on her way to the crystal chess board. “You play chess?”“Only when I want something from Henry. It’s jus

“I got you something. Want to see?” he asked, hoping to soothe the heart he seemed to be breaking even as he held her. “Sure,” she sniffed. He got up, opened a closet door and brought out a violin case. He sat down on the bed in front of her, watching her open it. “I already have Ellie,” she said, fighting to stop the tears. “There’s no rule that says I can’t give you another one,” he scolded, crawling behind her and pulling her against his body as his own hit the pillows. “Besides, this one is for me, so I can hear you play whenever I want.” There wouldn’t be a whenever he wanted, because he was leaving, because they didn’t have two more days. They didn’t have anything anymore. This was it, this was their last night together. He could see the thoughts she was having in her eyes as they filled up with fresh golden tears, but she wasn’t saying the words and he didn’t want to hear them. “I named this one. I hope you don’t min

2019, December 20th“You’re just going to stand up here and watch them while your mind implodes?” Troy asked, leaning forward with his clasped hands over the railing as he came to stand next to CC.“What do you want me to say, Troy? It’s not that you spend four hours a day working out and training, it’s that you do it with her? Don’t spend time with your dead best friend’s sister?” CC snapped.Troy chuckled.“Wow, four hours. That’s something. Looks like I missed a few things. When did this start?” he asked, smiling as he watched Aria laugh as she sparred with Bart.CC turned her head to Troy, watching his beautiful brown eyes darken ever so slightly. CC had made herself fluent in even the subtlest changes in Troy’s facial expressions. How long had she spent studying this man to try and outwit him? Back then, he always kept her close and she would go hours at a time just watching him. You wouldn’t know it from the easy smile on his face, but while Troy wasn’t nuc

It was bad that she was letting him off so easily, but he was playing dirty, kissing her senselessly and resisting him was becoming less and less doable these days. Aria had never been wooed by a man like Troy. Aside from the morning sparring sessions and the evening runs, she almost didn't see anyone other than him anymore. During the afternoons he'd take her places. Little walks in the garden or long swims in the indoor pool. Every so often, they still crept into the royal kitchen when it wasn't in use. She'd forbidden him from pulling a stunt like last time though, so instead they made an epic mess laughing at their attempts as they tried to learn to bake together. Rarely, if she was persistent enough, he would take her from the palace to do something completely ordinary outside like going to the movies or ice skating. The nights were something else entirely. Sometimes he played the piano for her, sometimes she played the violin for him. He liked it best when she was playing

Meanwhile, inside the warehouse Dean and Diane were sitting down to a talk. He was losing patience with her. She’d apparently changed her mind about leaving after all. “Di, things are already in motion here. I won’t be able to get you out again,” Dean said, restraining himself. “I know,” she smiled. “But Troy’s right. Ethan’s here and I don’t want to be without him and there’s no reason we can’t discuss living in Warlanda after the wedding.” Troy, fucking Troy! Of course he’d gotten into her head, undone all the work and effort Dean had put in over the last few days. No matter how much Diane adored Dean, she respected Troy. It was no wonder. The kid was quick witted. He saw things other people didn’t, paid attention and maneuvered accordingly. It wasn’t just that he collected information in a way most people couldn’t, it was the way he used it once he had it. Troy was a born leader, a soldier. Someone who saw Dean coming more times than he liked, including this time. Dean was si

2017, October 10th Returning home a disappointed man that morning after Adele was a no show, Aaron Condor was about to be a shocked man too. Henry and King Edward, the king of Warlanda, were in a video conference call with Troy and CC. “I’m afraid that with the appearance of Prince Dean in Sartis Est, a union between our countries at this time will not be feasible. I fear for Caroline’s safety,” said Troy. CC gave Troy a confused look. “What are you doing?” “Unfortunately, your fears may be justified,” said King Edward. “Your brother’s amassed quite the following. There are talks of a rogue army. I’m afraid of what he’ll do if he can’t bring Diane home.” “If it pleases Your Majesties, I would like to send Caroline back to Caines, at least until the matter has been resolved,” said Troy, refusing to look at CC. “Absolutely not!” CC exclaimed. “What she means is put us on a plane,” said Aaron, throwing CC a stern look as he entered the room. “I’m not going! Not while-”
