The next day, Grayson was working in his office at the castle when Xavier walked in. Without a word, he crossed the room to the television and flipped it on. Then he stood back and folded his arms across his chest."And in the news today," Ella J. Scott said to the camera. "The body of Prince Marcus Pierce was found in an old abandoned warehouse, along with the bodies of other men. One of the men has been identified as Piers Wingfield, former head of security for the Crown. King Maxwell Pierce and members of the Royal Family have made no comment as to the cause of death. In other news—"Xavier sighed, folding his arms across his chest. "I don't think you have to worry about paying Piers now.""Let's speak with Father," Grayson said, already headed toward the door.Xavier followed. "What should we tell him?"Grayson sighed, turning around to face him with his hand on their father's door. "The truth."Xavier looked at him for a moment, and then nodded his agreement.Grayson knocked on th

"Hey, Mom! What's going on?" Having seen who it was, college sophomore Ari Douglas answered her cell phone on the first ring. "You want me to bring something home tonight for dinner?" Ari usually stayed in her dorm room at New York University and went home to Queens to visit her mother and sister on the weekends. But she missed the last weekend, so she was making it up to her mother tonight."Don't worry about that now." Her mother's voice had a bit of an edge to it, like when she was a child and she didn't want to worry her."What's wrong, Mom?" Ari stopped on the campus sidewalk and bent her head toward the phone to listen.Her mother sighed. "Ari, it's nothing to worry about, but Henley collapsed on the track today.""What?" Ari's voice rose several octaves.Track was her sister's favorite sport and, when she wasn't in class, she spent every waking moment practicing for meets.Ari switched ears, shaking her head. "I knew that she was going to pass out one day from overworking hersel

Estrea, EuropeGrayson Pierce skipped up the stairs of his penthouse suite in downtown Estrea, a small sovereign European nation. Tired from the pressures of being a Prince of Estrea, he just wanted to go home and relax. Being the next in line to the throne didn't come without responsibility.As he walked in, he hoped that Dima, his fiancé, wasn't home, at least not for a while. Grayson needed a few moments to decompress before having to deal with her. Although he loved her, she was Dima Franz, the premier supermodel in Europe. And if she was home, there would surely be some ego stroking needed to pacify her. Even though he loved her, she was spoiled and a lot of work.His father, King Maxwell Pierce, had been badgering him to "be done with her" and "settle down", but Grayson wasn't ready. He chuckled to himself, wondering what his father would think if he married Dima. At least it would get him off his back for marrying but would open up a whole new can of worms. A part of Grayson th

The next morning, Grayson heard the distinct sound of his cell phone ringing. It sounded like music blaring off in the distance, pounding against his skull, but the more he came to his senses, the more he realized it was the ring tone he had for his brother. Why is Xavier calling me so early? he thought to himself, sleeping in his overstuffed, brown leather chair. But then he looked at the clock setting on the table next to him and it read ten o'clock in the morning. Not so early, I'll give him that.Grayson sat up and stretched, rubbing the back of his neck, stiff from having slept in a chair all night. The fireplace was still blazing from the night before. Luckily, it was October and cold enough in Estrea to keep him from dying of heat stroke in his sleep. He chuckled at the thought. When he stood, every muscle and bone in his body ached. He silently cursed, vowing never to fall asleep in his chair again. Although it was comfortable when sitting in it, it didn't make for good sleepi

Although Grayson didn't want to go out the next night, Carlton was having a party and he had to be there. But Grayson vowed to go and make an appearance, and then leave. If it wasn't Carlton throwing the party, he wouldn't have even bothered going. But he and Carlton had been friends for way too long to disappoint him now, even with everything that was going on in his life. Grayson had spent the last day trying to convince his father that he didn't beat Dima, hadn't even toughed her, and then he told him exactly what had happened. But no matter what his father thought, Grayson was way beyond caring now. After all, he didn't live his life for his father, even though he was King.

Grayson took a sip of his wine, but hardly touched his dinner, not in the mood to deal with his father. But he thought that he would get it over with. He hadn't seen his father since the incident, and he had nearly thrown a fit for him to come to the castle. This was their first family dinner in a while. It was a shame that it had to be under these circumstances.Grayson missed the days when his mother was alive. Back then, they had dinner together every evening, no matter what was happening in their lives. After she passed away of cancer, the family dinners just weren't the same.

Queens, New YorkAri left the hospital to clean up and get some rest while they waited to find out the next steps with Henley. It had been the first time that she had been back to her dorm room since the incident. She vowed to come back for the rest of her things later. "Hey, stranger!" Vickie chirped when Ari walked through the door, pulling her in for a hug. She released her a moment later and looked into her eyes. "So, how's Henley?"Ari sighed, feeling the effects of the last few days as she plopped down on the sofa. "She has Leukemia. The tests came back positive."Vickie's eyes widened. "Oh, Ari! I'm so sorry...."Ari thought for a moment and then leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees. "May I ask you something?"Vickie sat on the love seat across from her and leaned forward. "Of course, you can! You can ask me anything! You know that! What do you need?""I have an idea and I need to talk to you about it. But you have to promise not to tell anyone."Vickie scoffed. "H
