I pace my room back and forth, tugging at my hair as I think about what to do in this situation.
And I think deeply.
I mean on one hand I really like Abel, but mother really wants me to agree to this "amazing opportunity" as she likes to put it. I let out a groan of frustration thinking back to when I found out about this whole "ordeal"
I mean, the Prince of Monaco.... really??
You see, my mom has delightfully signed me up for The empire of Monaco's version of "the bachelor".
And I have somehow. Miraculously. Made it past the first round.
Which, to be completely honest is quite surprising, as my life is really not interesting, nor is it special in any way.
I mean all I do is work.... eat.... sleep.... and do it all over again.
I pause to think about it... okay she definitely lied about a detail or two on that application.
... Or maybe every detail.
She for some reason thinks I am one of those pathetic girls who will never find love. I'm only 24 for god's sake, so what if I still haven't got a ring on my finger?! This isn't the 1800's! I don't see what the rush is. And what does she expect me to do? Stand up there on INTERNATIONAL television and date the same guy as 25 other women? Is she crazy??
Nope, absolutely not.
I am not going through with this.

Hopefully I will get to see it a lot more once I tell him what's on my mind. " Tell me. " I say smiling back, maybe we both wanted the same thing. If so, this will have worked out better than I have planned. " Well can you keep a secret? " He asks making me a little curious, I nod in response wondering what it is.

Crimson Vows (Book 1 of Crimson Empire)(Completed)

But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure.

Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember.
