Juliano point of view:
    I'm the Prince of Italy, but I'm not going to be the king, because I'm the second child. My older brother Christiano is married and he have a two years old son, and he is waiting for his baby girl to come in February. And my younger sister is Nicoletta, and she is engaged to her boyfriend Alex. So I'm in the middle and I love that.
    My sister went to Illea to witness the proposal of Prince Maxon to one of his selected. And she was really shocked when Maxon proposed to Lady Kriss. So she decided to bring America here, and let me help her because I was in this same situation like her.
   Before two years, I was in love with a girl who her name was Luciana. She was my girlfriend for five years, but one day she left me to marry another person. At that time, I was broken, I didn't believe in any other girl, even I locked myself in the palace for a whole year without going out, but now I'm happy, even though I don't have anyone to love or to be loved in return.
   Suddenly Antonio (Christiano's son)  entered my study. "Uncle, my grandpa and my father want you in the meeting room." He said while he was trying to take a breath. "Oh, I remember they say it is very important."
  "Really." He nodded. "What's the problem, little boy." "I don't know, they say that I'm so small for this." What happened?
   "So, it's so important. Did you drink your milk, because this is a very important thing. If you don't, you won't go to the meeting room." I joked with him. "I drank my milk, I swear. You can ask my mom. So, I can enter it now." He said while using his puppy eyes.
   "Not this time big man. But I'll tell you what happens." He smiled. "So why you don't go out and play." He nodded, and ran out.
    I then went to see them, and when I entered the room, my father and my brother looked  worried, and when I asked them what happened, they told me that my sister and lady America had made an accident, and both of them are in the hospital. They told me what had happened exactly. "So, what we will do, father?" He thought for a while than said "You'll go to the hospital, and bring both of them to the palace." What.
   "You mean, I must go to Illea and bring them here." It may take a lot of time.
   "No son, they are here in Italy. So, you'll go to the hospital, and fetch both of your sister and America." "But father you said that America is in a coma, so how can we bring her here to the palace." If we do this, we will risk her life.
    "If America stayed in the hospital, someone will kill her." "What do you mean father?" Her life is in danger.
"While we were searching about the way the accident happened, we found that, it's not an accident but someone planed it, so in other words, someone wants to kill her. But unfortunately, we still don't know who."
   Who wants her to be died, I mean, she's a five, she's a poor, she can't hurt anybody, so her life before the selection can't be the reason, that means someone she knew during the selection who hates her. Of course he can't be Maxon, he loves her even if he didn't marry her. So, there's one person. "Father, do you think king Clarkson can do this. He doesn't love her, and he has many reasons to kill her." "We thought about this, but still we are not sure." I nodded, and said "Ok. I'll go and bring them." And I started to go, but my father stopped me by saying "Jose is waiting for you in the kitchen. You go with him using a small car, but when you reach the hospital, Jose will leave you there, and you, Nocolletta, and Lady America will return to the palace using the ambulance. Don't worry son, I prepared everything. No one will know that America is in the palace, especially Clarkson's spy." 
   Then I went to the hospital with Jose, and after that I returned with the two ladies. And while we were in the ambulance I asked "How do you feel now, sis." "Fine, but I was afraid Jul. Everything had happened very fast. I thought I'll die." "Shhh... nothing bad had happened." I hugged
her tightly. "America is in a coma, Jul. She May die.... God, I told her everything will be fine, but look at her now, she's hardly breathing by her own, she's laying like a dead man. I'll not forgive myself if anything will happen to her." "Nick, what had happened to her it's not your fault. And for your knowledge, if you weren't with her, she'll be died by now."
   She looked at me shocked "What?" "My father will tell you everything, but now relax." "Ok. I love you, you're the best brother." I smiled. "If christiano heard you he will be angry." She smirked. "Don't tell him." "Never... oh yeah, where's Alex." "My father told him not to come to the hospital so there will not be a lot of paparazzi around us. He calls me every ten minutes to make sure that I'm fine." She smiled happily. Then her phone rang. She looked at me in a way that says «I told you»
    All the way to reach the palace Nick stayed talking with Alex, so I sat there wondering how America's face is so beautiful even though she has many cuts and bruises. How Maxon is so stupid not to notice that.
     After a week, my father found that king Clarkson was the one who sent the man that has the truck to kill America, so my father tell everyone that America is died, and he made a deal with America's mother to make a drama and blame everything on Maxon, to make it more believable, and everyone believed it even Maxon.
    A month has passed, but America didn't wake up. I did everything I can to make her wake up, I read to her many books, I played the guitar for her, even sometimes I sang to her, but sometimes I told her everything that had happened with me.
     I became addicted to her, I wouldn't survive if I didn't see her face or talk to her. She became the reason of my happiness and my peace. I know that if she wakes up, she still loves Maxon, but I'll do everything to make this woman love me.
   While I was sitting beside her bed telling her what had happened with me, the doctor came to check on her, so when I asked him about her, he tell me "Your highness, to be honest with you we lost the hope that she'll ever be awake, so we decided that we'll turn off the machines and let her rest in peace." He's joking, it can't be the truth. "You can't do this, you're a doctor, you help the people, you make them live, not take their lives." I yelled. "I know how you feel about her, I know how attached you are to her, but for her sake we must give her the enternal rest." I will kill him if he touch her. "Who give you the right to kill her, huh... There's always be  a miracle." "In her situation there's no miracle, but I'll give her until tomorrow morning, if she didn't wake up I'll turn off the machines. I'm sorry." He looked at the ground. "What about her family?" I spit angrily and coldly. "They want the best for their daughter." And after he said this, he left the room.
   "America, you can't die, you can't leave me alone, please wake up, I want to see your ocean bleu eyes, I want to hear your angel voice. I don't care if you doesn't love me, but please don't give up. I started  loving you, I will not tolerate losing you. I'll die if I loose you." I hugged her tightly "Please wake up, America. Please." I let my tears fall.
    "America, I want to give you something that shows you how I love you." I closed the distance between our lips and said "That's my first kiss to you and I hope it's not the last." Then I put my lips on hers, and I kissed her. I felt some electricity work  in my body when I kissed her.
    I cupped her face, and begged her for the last time "America, please." Then she started to move, "America, are you awake, can you her me." "Mmm." It's the best word I have ever heard. Then, she opened her eyes for the first time in a whole month.
   "Ahhh... My head hurts a lot." She said while looking around her. "Where I am?" She asked. I said happily "America, you're in Italy." She looked in my eyes wondering "Who's America?" She asked.
