"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

A fan fiction based on the Selection trilogy by Kiera Cass. No, I do not own the story (though that would be lovely). Just putting that out there. Caspian Beckers is tired of her measly life as a four. Working in the factory all day is like living the same day over and over and over again. Caspian is happy, dare she say excited when the selection forms come in the mail. She just wants an escape from the monotonous factory life. She and her entire family know that she won't get picked. Even if she is picked, the chances of her becoming princess are one in thirty five, the chances slim. Caspian doesn't even remotely like Prince Rhode. He is so... Impersonal. Nothing like his wonderful parents, King Branson and Queen Lilliana. But what if Prince Rhode isn't really like that? What if it is all for the cameras? What if he just needs someone to help him open up to the world? What if that person could be Caspian? (Takes place before The Selection by Kiera Cass.)
