122AlexQueen Ingrid's voice sliced through the tension like a blade. "Alexander!" she snapped, her tone cold and biting as she stepped into view. Her elegant gown swept the marble floor, her regal demeanor overshadowing everything in the hall. Her icy blue eyes locked on me with unrelenting disdain. "What are you still doing here? I was *very clear* that you were to leave. Your presence has caused enough trouble as it is." I froze, my stomach twisting into a knot. "Your Majesty, I was just—" "You were just *what*?" she interrupted sharply, her voice echoing through the hall. "Sowing more chaos? Disrupting this event? Do you have *any* idea the kind of scandal you’ve caused by showing up uninvited?" Before I could respond, Liam stepped forward, his hand raised as if to shield me. "Mother, please calm down. Alex isn’t here to cause trouble. We were just talking—" "Talking?" Queen Ingrid's voice grew colder as she turned her glare on Liam. "You call this talking? I call it an

121AlexThe sobs wracked my body as I leaned against the cold, unforgiving wall. My mind was a chaotic mess, replaying the kiss over and over like a cruel punishment. My heart begged for clarity, but all I got was pain.“Alex?” a voice cut through the silence, low and hesitant. I froze. That voice. My breath hitched as I turned to see Charlotte standing a few feet away, her brow furrowed with confusion. “Are you…crying?” she asked, her tone a mix of shock and concern. She took a cautious step closer. I quickly wiped at my face, straightening up. “No. I just—” My voice cracked, betraying me. “I’m fine.” Charlotte tilted her head, her green eyes narrowing as she studied me. “You’re not fine,” she said firmly. “What happened, Alex? Why are you hiding out here instead of mingling?” Her gaze felt like a spotlight, exposing every raw emotion I’d been trying to bury. “It’s nothing,” I said, my voice flat. “Don’t lie to me,” she snapped, crossing her arms. “You’ve been acting str

120AlexI stood there, trembling, my breath hitching as Liam’s words echoed in my mind. *This has to stop.* The finality of it crushed me, squeezing my chest so tightly that I struggled to breathe. My legs felt weak, threatening to give out beneath me, but I forced myself to stay upright. I couldn’t break down here. I wouldn’t.I turned towards the exit, wiping at the tears streaming down my face, but it was no use. They kept coming, betraying the turmoil that raged inside me. *Damn it, Alex, pull yourself together.* I couldn’t let anyone see me like this—especially not *her*. Charlotte. The thought of her name sent a fresh wave of bitterness coursing through me. My fiancée. The woman I was supposed to love, to marry. I’d made promises—vows I hadn’t even spoken yet, but ones I was bound to keep. And yet, here I was, a wreck over another woman. Over Alex. I stumbled into the nearest restroom, slamming the door shut behind me. My reflection stared back at me in the mirror, a stark

119liamThe evening stretched on like an endless performance, each smile I forced feeling more brittle than the last. My head throbbed with the weight of everything I was trying to hold together—the lies, the mask, the unbearable truth that I was standing here, pretending to be the perfect groom when my heart was somewhere else. With someone else. “Liam,” a voice drawled from behind me, dripping with its usual mix of amusement and condescension. I stiffened, instantly recognizing the voice. Anders. I turned to see him standing a few feet away, a glass of champagne dangling casually from his fingers. His smile was as sharp as a knife, his dark suit tailored to perfection, as if he were here to mock me simply by existing. His presence, as always, sucked the air out of the room. And then there was *her*. Clinging to his arm like a queen surveying her kingdom was his wife, Evelyn. Her emerald-green gown shimmered in the light, hugging her figure in a way that was clearly design

118liamI straightened my back and adjusted my bowtie as I walked toward the grand ballroom. The muffled sound of music, laughter, and clinking glasses grew louder with every step. Then it hit me. I probably looked like hell. I stopped dead in my tracks, running a hand through my hair, and glanced at the reflection in a nearby window. My eyes were slightly puffy, the redness around them betraying the fact that I’d been crying. My cheeks were flushed, and there was no mistaking the disheveled state of my tuxedo. I cursed under my breath. There was no way I could walk in there like this. What would people think? This was *my* wedding, for God’s sake. I had to look the part. No one could know the mess brewing inside me. Spinning on my heel, I made a beeline for the nearest restroom, ignoring the curious looks of passing staff. Once inside, I let out a shaky breath and leaned over the sink, gripping its edge as I tried to steady myself. The bright, unflattering lights illumin

117LiamI slammed the door shut behind me, the sound reverberating down the empty hallway. My chest burned, my breath came in ragged gasps, and my fists clenched so tightly my knuckles ached. The walls of my mind were closing in, trapping me in an endless loop of guilt, longing, and anger. I wanted to scream. Punch the wall again. Do something—anything—to stop the chaos in my head. But nothing worked. His voice echoed in my mind. *"Then go… If that’s how you feel, Liam, then go and continue your wedding ceremony with Sophia and leave me alone."* God, I wish it were that easy. I leaned back against the wall, sliding down until I was sitting on the cold floor. My head fell back, hitting the wall with a dull thud. My hands dropped to my sides, useless. What the hell was I doing? “Liam?” A voice, soft and hesitant, cut through the storm in my head. I froze. I didn’t need to look up to know it was him. Alex. Of course, he’d followed me. He always did, and I hated how much

116AlexLiam’s lips pressed against mine with a desperation that stole the air from my lungs. His hands cradled my face gently, but the kiss was anything but soft—it was fiery, intense, and brimming with everything we hadn’t said, every moment we’d lost. I felt my knees weaken as his body pressed closer, his warmth wrapping around me like a shield against the cold emptiness that had haunted me for months. My fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, refusing to let go, as though this kiss was the only anchor tethering me to the world. Time seemed to freeze, the room fading away until there was nothing left but us—the storm of emotions swirling in his kiss and the silent confessions in every movement. It wasn’t just a kiss; it was an apology, a promise, and a plea all at once. This wasn’t like the first kiss we shared, hesitant and sweet, or the second, fiery but fleeting. This kiss was magic. It consumed every part of me, a deep yearning I didn’t even realize I still had.

115AlexThe door slammed behind me as I stumbled into the small, dimly lit room. My heart raced, fear and fury mixing in a volatile cocktail in my chest. "What the hell is this?" I snapped, shoving at the hand that covered my mouth. The figure stepped back, letting go. I spun around, my eyes adjusting to the faint glow of the moonlight streaming through a high, narrow window. "Liam?" I hissed, my voice trembling with anger. "What the hell is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?" He stood there, his jaw tight, his eyes stormy with something I couldn’t quite place—anger, desperation, regret? Whatever it was, it only fueled my fury. "Why did you drag me in here?" I demanded, crossing my arms. "If this is another one of your attempts to lecture me—" Before I could finish, Liam stepped forward, closing the distance between us. His movements were quick, almost frantic, as though he was battling with something inside himself. "I didn’t know what else to do," he said, his v

114Alex--- The whispers started almost immediately as Queen Eleanor dragged me out of the hall. The grand wedding celebration that was supposed to be the event of the year had turned into a spectacle—and I was the villain of the night. As we passed through the crowd, I could hear the murmurs rising behind me like a tide. "Isn’t that the President of the USA’s son?" a woman in an emerald gown whispered loudly, her jeweled earrings glinting under the chandeliers. "Yes, Alexander Morgan,” a man in a sharp tuxedo replied, his voice dripping with disdain. "What a disgrace. Poor Prince Liam—having his wedding ruined by *him* of all people." "I heard they’ve had issues for years," someone else chimed in. "Alex has always been trouble. It’s no wonder the Queen looks ready to explode." I kept my head high, but the heat of their judgmental stares burned against my back. Every word felt like a dagger, cutting deeper and deeper into my already fragile composure. By the time we reach

The Invitation
Chapter 1: The InvitationAlex"Come on, Alex. You’ve been tense ever since the summit started. Loosen up a little."Daniel’s voice, smooth like whiskey, drifted over me, coaxing and playful. I stood by the tall windows of my hotel room, staring out over the glittering lights of the city, my mind already clouded by the weight of expectations. The Global Leadership Summit had been in full swing for days, and as the son of the President of the United States, I had made every effort to maintain the polished, perfect image expected of me. But underneath that facade, I was suffocating.I didn’t turn to face him, but I could feel the heat of his presence at my side. He was persistent, annoyingly so, and I wasn’t sure whether it was more because of his position as my best friend or because of his rebellious nature.Either way, we’d somehow ended up spending more time together during this summit than I anticipated. Officially, we were supposed to be working together on some leadership panel,...
