Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company.

The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated.

"So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."

I am Prince Laen Braed. If you are familiar with the stories of @LaDameBlanche, specifically The Dark Series, The Dark Prince etc, you will already know much of my story. These are excerpts from my diary beginning in 1842 shortly before my sixteenth birthday. I am doing this under protest as apparently it will be "good for me". I heartily disagree and hope you will leave well alone and not read a word and we can put this behind us. Anyway. Here it is. Do as you will. Laen.

But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...
