Abel was a very...strange individual. She lacked every bit of social skill and never knew how to properly take charge of a situation. In short, she was awkward. No one could blame her, she didn't know what it meant to be normal. She was different from everyone else that was made clear before she could even comprehend it herself.  

Having no friends, no family...nothing but the clothes on her back and the thoughts in her head. That didn't stop her though, she was strong willed and that's what kept her going all these years. It was the only thing that kept her alive.

Her life gradually changes when she gets an opportunity to work as a bodyguard for the royal family.



Elizabeth Gallomour, on the other hand was the complete opposite. A bundle of joy is what she was normally described as. She wasnt socially awkward and wasn't incapable of handling any situation thrown thrown her. She was wealthy, smart and beautiful, she was royalty of course. She undoubtedly lived the pitch perfect life that most, if not all towns folk dreamt of. Did I mention that she was a princess? 

She was the only heir to the Gallomour throne and was was due to take over said throne after marriage. Elizabeth's 'pitch perfect ' life takes a drastic turn when she meets the awkward yet somehow fascinating bodyguard.

A whirl of unfortunate events has the two in a frenzy as both their lives take a turn for the worst, or for the better? Read to find out.

(Not good with descriptions but give it a try)

# Prologue **Two Years Ago** The music is too loud. I can't stop laughing. "Becky, slow down," Irin says. Someone stops me from reaching for another drink. Saint's twin. Freen. "I think you've had enough." "Where's Saint?" I slur. "Work emergency," she says quietly. The room spins. I stumble toward the exit. Three guys block my path, saying disgusting things. Freen steps in front of me. "She's with me. Back off." They don't listen until security comes. In her car, everything's fuzzy. Her gentle hands helping me to the door. Waiting while I fumble with keys. When I turn to thank her, she's so close. Gold flecks in her dark eyes. The kiss happens before I can think. Soft. Perfect. I pull away, mumbling apologies. She backs into the shadows. I stumble inside and pass out. **The Next Morning** Saint calls early. "Beck, I'm so sorry about last night. Are you okay?" "What do you mean?" "The guys bothering you. I'm so glad I could help you get away from them." I frown. "You were there?" "Of course. I couldn't let anything happen to you. I was so worried when I saw those guys cornering you. Thank God I got you home safely." My head hurts too much to think clearly. "Thank you." "You don't remember much, do you? You were pretty drunk. That's probably for the best. Just know that I'll always protect you, Beck." Warmth spreads through my chest. Saint saved me. Saint protected me. That's when I fall in love with him. **Present Day** I'm staring at my reflection in the wrinkled wedding dress. "Becky? The car is here." The car to take me to marry the wrong twin. Saint left me at the altar this morning. Gone. Now I have to marry Freen. The woman who barely speaks to me. Who avoids me. I don't understand why she dislikes me so much. In an hour, I'll marry someone who can't even look me in the eye. Someone who isn't Saint.

"At first, there was an unknown guy who I thought I liked, but I then realized Charles was the one I really can not let go of. Am I really attached to him more than a friend?" - Belle - Belle thought she was just another busy student helping with school events, printing IDs, organizing tasks, managing chaos with her friends in the English Department. But everything changed the moment she bumped into a mysterious guy with a blue-and-grey hawk backpack. Since then, her eyes unconsciously searched for him everywhere. She built quiet hopes around that fleeting encounter, thinking maybe... just maybe, something romantic would bloom. But while her eyes wander through crowds searching for that mystery, someone else never leaves her side: Charles. He's loud, clingy, annoyingly flirty, always grinning, always there, and her best friend. But when unexpected emotions surface, Belle begins to question everything. As the days pass, Belle begins to wonder if her heart had been chasing the wrong thing all along. Because sometimes, the person you're truly drawn to isn't the one who made your heart skip once, but the one who's been catching you every time you fall.

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"

She sat down on the floor. Knees drawn to her chest, hands pulling at her hair. She couldn't take it anymore. She ripped out a bunch of her hair and laughed at the pain it brought her. Nothing could be compared to the pain she already felt. She couldn't describe what she felt. Even after killing her tormentor the pain still wouldn't go away. The joy she felt when stabbing Alison was the ultimate feeling. She couldn't stop laughing, as she continued to stab Alison over and over again, but even that high cleared. She smiled as she remembered the memory. It was the best she'd have for a long time. She stood up and threw the ripped hair in the bin. Even though she still had those melancholy dark feelings in the depths of her, killing Alison had chipped away some of it. But no matter how bad felt, no matter how low she went, or how far broken she was, she'd still rise up. Somehow gravity didn't apply to her. And she wouldn't let it. *Elizabeth Lynnwood was the most normal teenager in the world until the universe suddenly decided to turn things around. She had the perfect family, the perfect grades and the perfect life. And out of nowhere they all simultaneously started to crumble. First was the death of her parents. A car accident. Of course. Being an only child, she had no one left, apart from her relatives on the other side of the country and the one drunk of an uncle in the next neighborhood. No one wanted her. Uncle Kennedy took her in, not by choice. Life took a very bad turn for her and highschool made it so much worse. Highschool they say are the best days of your life. Bullshit. Highschool had turned her into the monster she was now.
