ROME

To be honest, I was not entirely thinking straight. I had no plan to invite her to my house or ask her to bring the files when I could have just asked Zee to take them from her. But clearly, I was stupid. Stupid enough that I cooked for our meal and enjoyed it with her.

There was something about Carly that I couldn’t let go of. I was like drawn to her like a magnet every time we were in the same room together. Despite her holding something up and saying that her secrets were not any of my business, I was looking forward to seeing her today.

And I was glad that she came over.

An hour later, the rain had not stopped. I joined her in the living room. She was watching an animal docu on Netflix until she just dozed off.

I lowered the volume and went to take a blanket. I covered her with it before I grabbed the files she put on the coffee table. I placed a pillow cushion under her head, and she stirred, which made me freeze. She then breathed evenly and went back to sleep.

  • The Billionaire's Rogue Princess   Epilogue

    ROME Winterbourn, four years later Getting the work done and going home to my wife, Princess Carlott, and my son, Eughan, was always the best part of the day. Since I met Carly, I have appreciated and valued the importance of family even more. I was the luckiest to have a family in the States and a family in Triberis Capria. My company made an obscene amount of money. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world and married to a royal princess was only a bonus, but having a healthy relationship, a wonderful and supportive wife, and a mini-me was such a blessing. I went inside our home. The three-story villa was my dream house with complete amenities. The private door to the study was a significant upgrade. And Carly loved it. My gaze caught the leather couch from my cabin. It meant a lot to us, so Carly delivered it to our home. We had a charity gala to attend tonight. My son was probably in his play area or in the backyard. He loved puzzles and board games. He also enjoyed

    ROME It was the best two months of being married to my wonderful wife, Princess Carlott. Our church wedding was spectacular and perfect. My family, friends, and loved ones were around. Carly loved the fifteen-minute surprise drone show and was teary the whole time. A week later, a new royal family member was born. The Duchess gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Princess Aaliyah Aleksiea. I saw the look in my wife’s eyes as we first lay an eye on her niece. And I knew if we were blessed, she would be ready to be a mother. After our tour of over eight cities, we flew to the States. We visited my mother in her office. We also met my brother, and he started working at the Langston Realty Group. Then we had dinner with my brothers. My life was good. “What’s with the smile? The bride hasn’t arrived.” I leaned to kiss my wife on her head. Today was Zee and Heera’s wedding day. We became their principal sponsors since Carly and I were already married. Heera replaced Carly as her maid o

    CARLY For the first time in many years, I felt genuine happiness. I found the love of my life. And here we were, spending our honeymoon on an island so breathtaking. The ocean was so blue and calm. And I lay beside the man who completed me, taught me to accept my flaws, gave me love, and showed me the meaning of life. “What are you smiling about?” He lifted my chin—eyes filled with humor and devotion. I sighed deeply. “When someone told me I’ll get married and be this happy months ago, I would have told her she’s crazy.” “Are you happy being married, sweetheart?” “Do you really have to ask me that?” “Just wanna make sure you’re not regretting already.” I touched his face. I’d never seen him shaved clean, but his beard had grown on me, and I thought he looked perfectly handsome with it. “I’m gonna marry you again in fifteen days.” “Good answer, or I will kidnap you and take you to the altar myself.” He lay back beside me. “No need to take drastic measures. I promise to be the

    ROME Carly and I arrived at the private beach house owned by her family. As we reached the threshold of the room, a king-size bed draped with fluffy white sheets and thrown red flower petals, candlelit, and flowers scattered around the room. Carly went silent beside me. She was talkative on our way, teasing me throughout the ride, and she suddenly seemed speechless. When I turned to her, I cupped her face and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. “I can’t still believe you are my wife now.” “Believe it, husband.” She wiggled her fingers and showed me the wedding band and the engagement ring. “You’re beautiful.” I ran the back of my fingers on her cheek, down her exposed shoulder. “I’m nervous.” Her eyes fluttered close, and a gasp slipped her lips. “I love you.” I brought myself close to her and kissed her on the forehead, her nose, and then her parted lips. “So do I.” I found the zip of her dress, slowly lowered down her back, and let it fall to the floor, and she stoo

    ROME I felt a soft kiss on my forehead. I heard her voice, my Storm, and someone very familiar. Before my ass got frostbite, thanked God the rescuers arrived. Then I couldn’t remember what had happened after that. I thought I was going to die and not see Carly, my family, and my friends again. That was the scariest I had experienced in my entire life— the hopelessness—the regrets. Leaving the people, you loved without a proper goodbye. And you wished for another chance that would not come. Was there an afterlife? My family and I believed in God. When times like this, sometimes you prayed, and it seemed you weren’t heard, you started to doubt. Despite that, I prayed for the safety of everyone I loved. I prayed to come back home to Carly. I always thought about her— she must be terrified of me not coming back alive. Then I felt her warm hand— the soft squeezed against mine. How I wished her a warm body that stormy day. I really didn’t know the weather would be that terrifying i

    CARLY “What took them so long to find him?” I yelled at Seth. He came over to the cabin the moment I called him that Rome was in trouble. “I already sent them where he is stranded.” Time was running out for Rome, it had been forty-five minutes, and I had not heard the good news. “Calm down, Princess. They’re doing their best to get there in time. The storm is getting stronger, and it’s difficult for them to go by air, and the road was blocked by snowfall.” “So you’re telling me my fiance is gonna die out there?” I picked up my phone and put on my coat. “I’ll go find him myself.” “That’s the worse idea.” He blocked my way. “Do you think he’s gonna let you go out there and risk your life?” “Well, good thing he’s not here.” I glared at him. He was tall and bulky, like a Viking warrior, and he could just throw me over his shoulder and stuff me in the closet if he wanted to. “Just give them a few more minutes.” “And then what? Rome is already frozen the moment they get there.” “I’
