I've always believed that the best things happen under the natural beauty of the stars, let's see how far these beliefs carry me?
This story follows an ambitious girl with a big heart and a lot to offer the world caught up in family and royal drama. Will her new royal family and husband make or break her as she ventures through the new royal regime, ettiquettes and requirement to be upheld everyday. Will something as simple as changing become one of her most hated activities and will family ties be broken because of this or did she not want this royal realty in the first place.

"Arush" I moan as my muscles tighten around his fingers, pleasure rushing through my body in a way it never has before. He smirks, and then he leans in to kiss me, his touch gentler now. He kisses me so sweetly that my heart can't help but skip a beat. My hands run over his chest and up, until I've got my arms wrapped around his neck, the tips of my fingers at his nape. I pull him closer, desperate for more, but he pulls away, the smile melting off his fac "The next time you want this, you come to me," he tells me, his expression hardening. "Stay away from Rohit. He's not for you." I blink in confusion as he lowers me to the floor and cages me in. I look into his eyes, my racing heart beating in a different rhythm than before. "What are you... what are you talking about? " He smiles humorlessly and brushes my hair out of my face, his gaze cold. "If you want to become some rich guy's mistress, then be mine. It's fucking embarrassing to see you flirt with him. If I ever catch you behaving this way again, I'll fire you. No one will be able to save you."
