All Chapters of The Princess and The Apprentice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 2Early the next morning Katie found some cereal and watched cartoons. It usually helped to make sense of things. There was a knock at the door. Katie almost threw the cereal on the couch. Her nerves had kept her awake all night.When Katie opened the door, Sam was standing ready with two coffees and two huge muffins."You won't make it through till lunch if you don't fuel up." Sam said with an uncertain smile. " Can I come in?" " Oh..yeah..yes please come in." As Sam stepped in Katie offered her to sit down. Katie all but sprinted into the room to fix her appearance.  A few minutes later she raced back to enjoy her coffee. She really hoped she hadn't looked as tired and gross as she had felt.Samantha handed her a coffee and muffin and waited for Katie to take a seat opposite her at the kitchen table." Katie I'm sorry. I have no proof that you did start the fire. I'm just so pissed off it happened. I've been wanting to g

 Chapter 4Kate had never felt so humiliated in her whole life! Not only was she naked for the world to see but, her part of the world had no clue as to her sexuality. She now had to face the music and hopefully before her parents found out via the newspapers.The cameras hadn't stopped going off till they had both escaped in the car together.   Sam had come to her senses first and had grabbed Katie's hand and led her to safety. Once alone in the car they both tried to fix their hair and clothes...hoping their lives could be fixed just as easily. Sam looked out the window as though the  outside view would hold the answers. " We need to go see my parents." Sam finally broke the silence. " What do you mean we need to see your parents? They know you better then mine do...I don't see the problem. Katie said as her stomach churned at the thought of seeing Sam's parents again." I've got a plan and it's one

Chapter 6"I can't believe you left me hanging like that. I just about had heart failure back there!" Katie said as she settled into the passenger side of Samantha's car."How did you think I felt! I swear I thought that paper was going to bite me." Samantha said laughing at their close escape. Despite the news she had just gotten, Katie somehow always managed to keep her away from feeling utterly lost."It did look like you were holding a snake." Katie said and laughed with. The newspapers had all been raving about The upcoming Gala. The Doctors and Med students had gathered round to congratulate them. You see the media didn't follow every social event anymore. Social media as the name suggests takes care of that. What is the use of taking far away photos for front page, only to be outdone by a celebrity selfie?Samantha had devised a no-tech event that she knew would get them curious. Next invites had been sent by hand delivered invitation on actual pap

chapter 8   Katie looked down at the ring and couldn't believe her eyes. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her whole life apart from the gorgeous woman holding it.  She looked into Samantha's face and except for the excitement in her eyes the rest of her expression was unreadable. Katie knew that this was just a pretense and that soon people will be looking for the ring, it just looked right.  However there was something genuine in Samantha eyes that make Katie lose all remaining thought.This was a very over-the-top romantic gesture just for a pretense. Samantha looked about to break in half with the tension it took to wait for Katie's answer. Katie decided to put Samantha out of her misery whether this was real or not you couldn't help live the fantasy just for a little while.Katie didn't want to think what would happen when Samantha realised that she didn't care for a hal

Chapter 10Katie looked down on the roaring crowds that had gathered outside The Palace. News had spread fast and now with only a week to go, people were getting excited.The Palace had been open to the public for over fifty years and tours were available during the week. This was different as they hardly got to lay eyes on The Royal Family. The Queen would address the people once a year and appear at The Gala briefly.To be able to get a look into their daily lives had set the whole country into a frenzy. Katie had been given the guest house and Samantha had been asked to be in her room. It might seem perfectly normal except her room was almost half an hour walk from the guesthouse.She was trapped in The Palace and couldn't go out. People already knew she was close to The Princess and wanted to know more. She had tried to go to town and almost got mauled by a group of fans. Her and Samantha had to be airlifted to work and back. They had to
