Chapter 32: Be Mine

(Kate)

FOR the second time tonight, my heart was acting up again as I stare at His Majesty’s eyes. I was seeing only my reflection there. After his Christmas greeting to a certain ‘Kate’ on the radio seven years ago, that name had become viral for months.

Many people on the internet kept questioning who that lucky woman was although no one got an answer. I only accidentally heard a DJ talking about it on the radio. Zachary Collins was a name that could be heard from the women’s mouth almost everywhere. He had become every female’s embodiment of a ‘prince charming’ on a white horse especially with all the financial support he had been sending to students and athletes in different parts of the world.

Never did it occur to me that I could be ‘that’ Kate. There were countless Kates in the world. And I know His Majesty. He was never the type to settle with one woman. I know his needs better than anyone else. I had witnessed it myself several times.

“I want you, Kate,” he added.

I shivered.
