There are roles a princess can never abandon.
A princess does not obey anyone but the King and Queen.
A princess does not lie.
A princess does not run from the crown that was stitched into her skin at birth.
And yet... I did.
They taught me how to bow before they ever taught me how to speak.
How to smile with my mouth shut.
How to bleed beautifully.
Rules.
Etiquette.
Sacrifice.
I wore them all like second skin-until the day I tore them off and disappeared.
My name is Arabelle Montclair Winthorne Ravenshed.
Firstborn of House Ravenshed.
The Heir.
The Shame.
The Ghost.
I've lived a dozen lives since I fled the palace.
I've scrubbed counters, lied about my name, buried parts of myself so deep I almost forgot they ever existed.
Until he found me.
Not with a crown. Not with a sword.
With eyes that looked too long.
With hands that held too tight.
With a voice that said I see you when I couldn't bear to be seen.
Now I live in a stranger's mansion.
And the walls are starting to close in.

Halfway to Something
They say love is a choice. But what if the choice you made had nothing to do with love? We didn't marry because we were in love. We married because we both needed something- And each other was just... convenient. He needed a wife. I needed the money. So we signed the papers, wore the masks, and promised we wouldn't fall. But nothing about him is simple. He was the boy I loathed the most when I was twelve. Five years older, always out of reach, always one step ahead. Now, we're under the same roof, bound by the same lie. And yet, he still feels miles away. He's cold. Detached. Always in control. And I hate how effortlessly he gets under my skin. Me? I keep my thoughts sharp and my walls higher. I never let anyone see me falter. And I'm always mindful of the image I project-especially when no one's watching. And now, I'm slowly forgetting the rules we set when we said, "I do." This wasn't supposed to mean anything. But now, we're halfway into something neither of us knows how to name. And the thing about secrets? They always ask for more.![Kissing My Kryptonite [GL] (Cambridge Series #2)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/234666410-256-k169855.jpg)

But they didn't talk much. Barely even friends. Still, something about the way she looked so broken made him walk toward her, no questions asked. From that moment on, Aiden decided to stay. Not because he had to... but because he wanted to help her heal. And in helping her move on, they both found something they didn't expect--healing, hope... and maybe, love.Complete
