He was famous for something no one should ever be famous for.
He protects the people in his country, therefore they protect him. Guards, security, personal assistants, paparazzi at his heels 24/7. He had everything he could ever want---fame, fortune, and above all, women, all of them falling to his feet, all of them wishing they could be with him--if only just for one night. He never needed just one, never needed to "settle down." He didn't want to. Until her.
She was a sweet, innocent, unsuspecting girl, destined to be tied to his name, his wealth, his fame, his fortune. Without realizing when or how, she quickly rises from her middle-class title to become the wife of the most well-known, most handsome, and most eligible bachelor in the country. And yet, she could not be more unhappy, even when the world loves her and all the women desire to be her. How could she, when the only man that should love her, doesn't?
I want the record to reflect that I didn't want this marriage. My husband is wealthy, which was a relief initially, but he is also friends with some dangerous people. I considered leaving, but I fell in love with him at some point, and now I have to see this through to the end.
Our vows were 'To death do us part,' and every day, I think that might have been a prophecy of our future. Danger approaches faster and faster, taunting me, encouraging me to forgive him. Forgive him and follow him to death that calls me.
