Royal ties : A Second Chance at love

**Prologue:**

The rain fell softly against the glass of the Amsterdam penthouse, casting a gray hue over the bustling city below. YN Lee Anderson stood by the window, lost in thought as she watched the world rush past her. She had always prided herself on her independence, her success built from the ground up. Yet, today, a single piece of paper on her desk had the power to unravel everything she had worked for—a marriage contract.

Her fingers brushed against the document, the royal seal of the Dutch monarchy staring back at her. It was absurd, really, to think that a meeting with King Willem-Alexander just a week ago could have led to this. An arranged marriage with Princess Alexia, a name she hadn’t allowed herself to think of in years.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands. The same Alexia who had once been her world. The same Alexia who had left her heartbroken.

YN closed her eyes, memories flooding back like a tidal wave. The laughter they’d shared, the stolen moments under the stars, the promises they had made when the world was just them and no one else. And the painful end, a bitter goodbye that had shattered her.

She had moved on—or at least, she had convinced herself she had. But now, the past was back, dressed in royal garb and bound by duty.

Her phone buzzed on the table, a message from the king’s office. Tomorrow, the press would be alerted. Tomorrow, her life would no longer be her own. She would become a part of the royal family, bound by an agreement that seemed more like a political strategy than a love story.

YN turned back to the window, her mind racing. Could she truly step into this world again, knowing that the woman she had once loved, the woman who had broken her heart, would now become her wife?

But beneath the layers of confusion and uncertainty, there was something else—something she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Hope.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this second chance at love was exactly what she had been waiting for.
