Running away from an abusive home, Jasmine Marie finds herself on a plane with tragic results, landing her in the kingdom of Parisih.
The kingdom was ruled by the two great twin Kings Laurent and Larry Bourgeois.
As she wandered about, she heard of...
We sat far away from each other,King Laurent on the left side of the boats cabin and me on the right. I had nothing else to say to him and I just wanted to be free. I stared out the little oval window of the boat and gazed out at the churning waters. It hurt in my heart and I just wanted to be done. What was the point in all of this? I wanted to give my love but my love just wasn't good enough. Hell, I tried to tell him about Candice and he refused to even listen, calling me a liar. There was nothing left for me to do but move on.
No one had been there to say goodbye when I left the castle. Deep inside, I had hoped that Larry or Kyanna would've been there but no one ever showed not even Sophia. It was so sad that I would never get the chance to tell them how much I cared or appreciated what they've both done for me. I had saw Curtis in the distance when we had arrived to the docks and his expression was so sad. I didn't forgive him for what had been done but I didn't feel as though his termination was justified. Shame that Candice would be able to continue her bullshit and who knows who'll be the next person she harms. I wished I didn't care as much as I claimed. A sound to my left caused me to tear my eyes away from the window and watch as King Laurent got up and left. I wished I didn't care about him at all. I wished I never met him.
King Laurent never returned to the cabin and a few hours later, the captain of the boat informed me that we had arrived. I grabbed my book bag and left the cabin, goodbye Parish. I ignored the immense pain in my chest at that sentence. I didn't want to live being someone's fool.
I looked at King Laurent who was dressed casually in a white t shirt and some black jeans. His twists were in a ponytail and he had pair of Prada sunglasses on his face.
Jasmine: "So can I be on my way? I see no need for any further interactions between us." I want to mean this but I would be lying if I said I did. But over time I would forget about him right?
King Laurent: "After tonights dinner, you may leave. I already told the Duke and Duchess I would have company and I refuse to lose face. After that, you can leave as you've always wanted to do." He walked away from me at that sentence, never even looking back. He was out his damn mind if he thought I was going to endure a dinner with uptight royals just so he can save face. I begin walking in a different direction than King Laurent, ready to be rid of anything to do with Parisih.I didn't get far before a group of guards surrounded me.
Guard: "Sorry ma'am, we can't let you leave. Kings orders."
Jasmine: "You got to be fucking kidding me!" The guards looked so sympathetic and apologetic. Guess it wasn't their fault.
The guards escorted me to a gorgeous grey brick store that screamed elegance. Inside they took me and I was in awe of the beautiful yet simplistic interior.

from what I could see, it was a women clothing store so why was I here. I was escorted to the back where King Laurent stood speaking with a woman. She was a tall figure with a milk cream complexion and her body was curvaceous but when she turned to look at me, her face had a huge scar reaching from the right side of her temple all the way down to her left side of her chin. She spoke but I heard nothing as I slowly walked to her, my eyes on the scar. I don't know why but tears pricked at my eyes and I felt such an immense sorrow. I didn't even know the woman but my soul cried at the ruined piece of flesh.
Jasmine: "I'm sorry." Why did I say that? The woman lips sneered at me but she just smacked her teeth.
King Laurent: "I told you she was a weird one Lauren. Excuse her and her carelessness. She just needs something to wear for tonight. Nothing to formal but also not to casual. I trust your decision." The woman I now knew as Lauren nodded her head and said of course.
I sunk back into myself, ashamed at my behavior. King Laurent looked at me with a weird expression and all my anger came rushing back. I turned to him and sneered.
Jasmine: "You mind telling me why the fuck your guards stopped me and brought me here?" He rolled his eyes and stayed silent.
Jasmine: "I just want to leave King Laurent, I don't see why I have to accompany you to the dinner, I'm sure your royals would understand." Still, he said nothing. I groaned out of annoyance and flopped down on a chair nearby. Why not just leave me alone?!
Jasmine: "What a childish and petty King you are. I hate you." I went quiet after that and King Laurent walked away to the back where the Lauren woman was. What a terrible day.
( King Laurent )
I wasn't handling it right. I wasn't handling anything right. She was leaving and she meant it this time. I had lost control back at the castle and I was paying for it now. She wasn't going to stay with me and I didn't deserve for her to stay.
Why did I behave that way? Why was I so afraid to hear what she was going to say about Candice? Because I knew deep down what she was capable of. I knew how conniving Candice was and just what she would do to get what she wanted. Lauren was the proof of that.
I walked to the back to avoid seeing the hate in Jasmine's eyes and to run from the words she spat with so much hate. I would let her leave like I said but tonight was the last night I had with her and I just didn't want to say anything else to fuck it all up. I went to Lauren and watched for a bit as she went through the clothes.
Lauren: "She's beautiful Laurent, I know my sister must hate her. I'm surprised she doesn't have a scar like me yet. Then again, you're around so Candice hides the true fiend she is." I sighed and rubbed my eyes with my fingers.
King Laurent: "Yes, I am aware of her camouflaging skills Lauren. But I don't believe she's as bad as you all think. She's been good to me the last few years." Lauren scoffed and glared at me.
Lauren: "Yes, good to you as she took the place of your Queen. Why are you such a idiot Laurent?! Candice needs to be in a fucking asylum. One look at my face proves that!" I looked down and sighed again. I felt terrible about how I had let things transpire between Candice and her sister. I had tried to make amends by letting Candice think Lauren had died and I moved her out here to London. Why was I so stupid for Candice? It made no sense. Even when I knew she was wrong, I let her be right. It was just so confusing.
Lauren: "You know I heard love is blind Laurent but I didn't know love made people fucking idiots. I bet the girl out there has suffered at Candice's hands and you're to reluctant to see it. Have you spoken with her about Candice? Matter fact let me rephrase that, have you listened to her about Candice?" My head hurt and i didn't feel like being scolded.
King Laurent: "No, I haven't. I run from the topic every time it's brought up." I felt her small hand gripped my shoulder.
Lauren: "Then before that woman leaves you for good, which I can see so clearly written on her face, you should shut the fuck up and listen to her about Candice." I glanced out the door and could see Jasmine sitting there, sadness surrounding her like an aura. She probably wouldn't speak to me about it anymore, she was done with me. And I would let her be free.
