Rowan’s POV

Even in my dreams, I saw principal Whitcombe over and over again.

The next morning, I was called but not immediately. I thought it would be urgent but it wasn't and the suspense made it worse.

It felt like they were taking their time, thinking, watching and waiting.

And when the call finally came, my heart skipped. I was expecting it but it still came as a surprise.

Theo wasn't there. Of course, he won't be. We were being handled separately, and that much was obvious.

  • Royal Rivalry    Kiss me

    Rowan’s POV I didn’t know why I took the glass. Maybe it was the way he said "trust me." Maybe it was the way he looked at me, like he had already decided how the night would go. Or maybe I was just tired of trying to convince him… Tired of fighting… Tired of thinking… Tired of being the only one holding on to something that felt like it was already slipping away.So I drank.The liquid burned slightly as it went down. I wasn’t used to alcohol yet, and my body reacted immediately, spreading heat through my chest.Theo watched me like he was trying to measure something… something I didn't know. “Good,” he said softly.I lowered the glass, my fingers tightening slightly around it.“That’s enough.”“No,” he said immediately. “It’s not.”“You know I don’t drink like that,” I said with a frown. “Tonight is an exception,” he said casually. “Exception from what exactly?” I spat quietly. Theo didn’t answer immediately. He just… stepped closer.“Rowan,” he said, his voice quieter now, a

  • Royal Rivalry    Move on

    Rowan’s POVAs each second passed, my lips didn't stop moving. A silent prayer played on them as the streetlights blurred past. I didn't want to get caught. I didn't know what to expect with Theo. I didn't know what to expect from myself. But one thing was sure, I didn't want any more trouble, especially not with my family. The moment the car slowed to a stop in front of Emerald and Scarlet, I leaned forward slightly, my fingers already on the door handle before the engine fully died.“You’ll wait here,” I said quickly.“That won’t be possible, sir.”I exhaled slowly, already expecting resistance.“It will,” I replied, pushing the door open slightly but not stepping out yet, “Because you can't go in with me.”“I can't let you go in by yourself,” he said, his tone firm but respectful. “Your safety is my priority.”“My safety,” I repeated quietly, then shook my head. “My safety is the reason you shouldn’t stay too close.”That got his attention.“Your presence can only make it worse,

  • Royal Rivalry    The call

    Rowan’s POV I had stopped expecting anything to change because the change had already happened, and it was clearly against me. After Henry left, I forced the food down my throat. What was supposed to be delicious tasted like regret and bitterness. And those were the things on my mind until the phone rang.The sound startled me because it wasn’t supposed to ring. I wasn't expecting anyone to call me, not even through the telephone. Telephone? It was probably someone in this house. Maybe the butler or the queen’s office or Henry. He might want to add something he forgot to say to me. So instead of answering, I stared at it until it stopped. When I thought I had escaped, it rang again.I crossed the room, picking it up before I could think otherwise. “Hello?” My voice came out rough. There was a pause at the other end. “Rowan.”Everything inside me froze the moment I heard his voice. It was Theo.I couldn't speak because I was too shocked, and at the same time, relieved and sca

  • Royal Rivalry    Family

    Rowan’s POVI didn’t notice when the door opened this time.I was sitting by the window, my knees drawn towards my chest, my gaze fixed on the endless stretch of perfection that defined the palace grounds. Everything looked perfect, orderly and false. “Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”Henry’s voice cut through the silence.Heavy with my emotions and thoughts, I didn’t turn to face him. He betrayed me the moment I needed him the most and that wasn't going to leave my head anytime soon. “I’m not hungry,” I said flatly.“That’s not how hunger works.”I exhaled slowly, finally turning to face him.He stood there, his posture straight, his expression composed, but I could still see the trace of disappointment on his face. “You’ve made your point,” he continued. “Now eat.”“I’m not trying to make a point.”“Then what are you doing?”“Thinking,” I replied immediately. “That’s ironic.”I frowned. “What does that mean?”“It means,” he said, stepping closer, “you should have d

  • Royal Rivalry    Always a step ahead

    Rowan’s povI refused to eat.At first, it was a deliberate act of defiance. It was my only way of holding on to control when everything else had slipped away from me. But after a while, it stopped being intentional. Hunger came and went like a distant thought I could not quite grasp. My body should have been screaming for food, for strength, for recovery. Instead, there was nothing. I just felt hollow. They brought trays with varieties of food. Each one placed artfully on the table beside my bed, as if the presentation could persuade me. But I didn't touch them. “Your Highness… Please, you must eat something…”Even a little…” the butler pleaded, but I didn’t respond.I just lay there, staring at the ceiling of my room. My room? The irony almost made me laugh.The comfort was everything I thought I had missed. I couldn't believe I had imagined coming back here so many times when Hillsborough felt like a prison. I couldn't believe I had thought this place would feel like freedom.

  • Royal Rivalry    Change of plan

    Theo’s POV “Sit down,” he barked this time, and I had no choice than to listen to him.Slowly, I found my way to the edge of the bed and sat down. I didn't fully settle, not physically, not emotionally, not mentally.“Like I said earlier, the truth is hard to believe,” he started, but I cut in sharply. “That's because it's a lie,” I spat. “Are you trying to say everything you told me during questioning was a lie?” he asked, fixing his gaze on me. “You already know that, don't you? Just let Rowan go if you're hiding him,” I replied. “I can't let go of someone I don't have,” he said casually. “He left. He left you. He left with his brother.”The way he kept laying emphasis on his words made my stomach twist. “He didn’t even look back,” he continued casually, like he was commenting on the weather.“Stop talking.”But he didn’t stop. “If someone truly cared,” he continued, “they would have made sure you were safe before leaving.”“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said f

  • Royal Rivalry    Warning from friends

    Theo's POV I shouldn’t have been smiling, but I was. Watching the video brought back everything I felt that night. I hate to admit it but if I was given the chance to go back to that night, I'd focus more on the kiss than making a video. But it's all good because I get to watch the video over and

  • Royal Rivalry    Captured kisses

    Theo's POV I knew exactly what I had done. It wasn’t poisonous, nor was it anything dangerous. It was a little way of marking my territory, a way of showing him who was in control. Just a crushed candy dissolved into his drink, he was already shaking like a jelly fish. What if I had added more? I

  • Royal Rivalry    The manipulator and the manipulated

    Rowan's POV As he approached me, I knew my evening was about to get ruined. But before he could ruin it, I looked at him, not the gibberish side of him. I took note of his face, his hair, how it was still neatly done even after school hours. Theo is a charming boy but his attitude makes his charm

  • Royal Rivalry    Unwanted introduction

    Rowan's POV Everyone had left. The crowd had been dismissed after the welcome speech and song. The performance was over and finally, I was alone in the room given to me. The room felt smaller than I expected. I wasn't expecting it to be like my bedroom in the palace but this was still small. It
