I CHOOSE YOU
Prince Christian is temptation in royal form—tall, commanding, heartbreakingly beautiful.
Jessica is his maid. His best friend. The girl who has loved him in silence for years.
In the kingdom of Orlander, the royal family announces a Royal Selection to find the future princess. Christian wants nothing to do with it. His heart is still bruised from Mirabelle, the woman who left him. But the king and queen are determined. The kingdom needs a bride. The prince must choose.
Christian agrees only under one condition—he will end the selection if he feels nothing.
On the day of the ceremony, he draws twenty names.
Mirabelle’s.
A mysterious girl named Evelyn Hunter—whose name makes him smile for the first time in months.
And Jessica watches the man she loves prepare to choose someone else.
She is the maid no one notices.
The best friend who is always at his side.
The girl who knows him better than anyone… except the one thing she can never tell him.
He is searching for love.
She is standing right there.
But in a palace full of glittering gowns, secrets, royal duty, and heartbreak… she might be the only girl he never sees.
This is a forbidden romance, best friends-to-lovers, royal drama, and slow-burn heartbreak where loyalty, destiny, and hidden love collide.

Chapter: Chapter FourWe all arrived at the palace shortly after the graduation ceremony. Every graduate and their family had been invited, and the royal halls glittered with celebration. Rich drapes of velvet and crystal chandeliers adorned the ceilings, while long tables overflowed with a feast that looked like it belonged in a painting. The palace servants had outdone themselves—each tray and table spoke of perfection.I sat with my friends amid the music and laughter, yet my mind was far from the revelry. All I could think about was what Luke had said to me two hours ago in his car.Earlier, just as we were about to leave campus, Luke had insisted I ride with him. It was strange, unexpected. If he had a crush on me, this whole thing would spiral into awkwardness. But he was persistent—claiming, quite confidently, that it was his duty to drive me since I was his date. I couldn’t argue. I had no choice but to accept.The ride to the palace was unbearably silent, tension hanging thick between us. Curiosit

Chapter: Chapter ThreeIt has been precisely two months since I began working at the palace, and though every task has unfolded with near-perfect grace, one persistent challenge remains: avoiding Erica. But today—today is not about that. Today is my graduation. And I’m positively brimming with anticipation.The palace has been a whirlwind of activity for days, its hallways echoing with hurried footsteps and whispered instructions. Servants and attendants have been preparing for the return of Prince Christian and his cousin, Princess Molly, who are also graduating. Excitement hums in the very walls.Now, all the maids have been summoned to the servants' quarters by the ever-formidable Madam Silvia."Good morning, everyone," she greeted, voice clipped and sharp as a sword’s edge."Good morning, Madam," we chorused in practiced unison."As you all know," she began, "Prince Christian and Princess Molly are returning today to celebrate their graduation. According to a report from His Majesty, there will be a spe

Chapter: Chapter TwoSometimes, I don’t understand Christian. His possessiveness bewilders me, stirring something deep within me—something I can’t quite name. He claims to love me, but only as his best friend. And yet, the way he looks at me, touches me, worries for me... it makes my heart ache with a yearning I can barely admit to myself. I want more. I want all of him. But I know—it’s a fool’s wish. A fantasy I cradle in the quiet moments. A girl can dream, can’t she?I looked up at Christian, my gaze hopeful, silently praying he’d say yes.“Ugh, come on, man. Just two months and you’ll see the love of your life again,” Jake teased, his voice dramatic, pulling a blush from my cheeks.I dropped my gaze, stealing a glance at Christian. He rolled his eyes with practiced indifference. Sigh. What did I expect? A declaration? A smile just for me?“Yeah, man, just say yes,” Luke chimed in.Christian sighed. “Okay, fine. But…” His eyes lingered on mine. “You have to make it to graduation.”“Of course, Christian

Chapter: Chapter oneMy name is Jessica Lohan. I’m twenty-one years old and in my final year at the prestigious University of Orlander. At this very moment, I’m seated in the bustling college cafeteria, caught in a rather dramatic argument with my best friend. But before I reveal the reason behind the commotion, allow me to take you on a brief journey through the winding corridors of my life.I was born within the towering walls of the Royal Palace of Orlander—a world gilded with marble halls, centuries-old chandeliers, and secrets buried in velvet-lined corners. My mother, the Head Maid, and my father, once the revered Head of Guards, served the royal household with unshakable loyalty. My father retired a few years ago; my mother is set to retire in four months. Yes, they met in the palace—maid and guard—fell in love, married, and had me rather late in their marriage.Every palace staff member is granted a room in the servant quarters, but those who rise in rank or serve over fifteen years are bestowed a
