Ferdinand Lovelle, Prince of Adaia, finds himself in a similar predicament.
Upon the arrival of Prince Balthazar, he can't ignore the implications of his growing attraction, and he knows that his feelings must be set aside for the sake of Adaia. But as time passes, he finds it harder and harder to resist the calling of his heart.
With their older sister's coronation rapidly approaching, Rose and Ferdinand must answer one question: Will they honor their kingdom, or follow their hearts?

I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete

❗LEAVING WATTPAD JUNE 14❗ Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
⚠️ THIS STORY WILL BE REMOVED FROM WATTPAD ON JUNE 14, 2026 ⚠️ Please read the latest chapter "Leaving Wattpad" for more information. They say you only fall in love once. For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything. In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would destroy him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire. But not all fires survive the storm. The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one. A bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart. 🖤COMPLETED🖤 !
