INICIAR SESIÓNThat night, long after the last of the guests had left for their rooms, Andrew and I returned to the presidential suite to find that the staff had decorated it in preparation for our stay. All the décor, right down to the bed sheets, had been switched out for matching red and gold pieces. The light
Andrew’s eyes met mine as I approached the altar. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. He looked so handsome in his classic black tuxedo that I could hardly wait for after the reception to be with him. As I took my place across from Andrew, I handed my bouquet to Lily. The priestess bega
One month later, I stood in a suite at a private beachside resort, admiring my wedding dress. It hugged my curves in all the right places while still gently brushing against the ground like a low-hanging cloud.

“Thank you for having me on such short notice, Your Highness,” Andrew said, taking a small sip of wine. “I’m hoping that we can settle this matter peacefully.” King Frederick lifted his chin to Andrew haughtily. “Indeed.” A moment of silence passed between the two men. Neither dared to look aw
Andrew smiled at Princess Aurora across the table. A splash of pink spread across the princess’s cheeks, and she smiled back.
