2018, December 4th (5 minutes to sunset) As Aaron set Zoey down in front of the gates of the Arden residence, he knew his opinion of Zoey had changed. She was still exactly what he had pictured: innocent to a fault, lacking in experience and sure to have a difficult time as a royal. But there were other things too, like the way she crossed her legs when she ate ice-cream on that bench like she was at home. Or the way she claimed her name as an Arden and demanded to have the gates opened. Zoey had her own way of doing things and was skilled in getting what she wanted. "One future princess home on time," he smiled, pulling some leaves out of her hair. He locked his hands behind his back, afraid that old habits would betray him to her even more before asking, "So, lunch tomorrow?" Zoey thought for a moment. She knew what she had done today wasn't a feasible plan. She had no money and all her belongings were still in a room behind those gates. So maybe she was going to be stuck here

2018, December 4th "Why so tense, Bart?" a voice asked, seeming to come from nowhere. Bart was immediately alert. No guests had been announced. Who was this intruder? "Calm down, I come in peace," she said, appearing before him. Bart took her in. She was dressed in an over the top, probably highly fashionable, baby blue wrap dress. His eyes lingered on the sash a moment too long before his eyes finally met with hers. "CC," he sighed, relieved. "In the flesh," she giggled. "So, what do we got? What's the 4-1-1?" "Did Aaron send you?" "No one sends CC anywhere. I was merely made aware that you might need a little help dealing with the old people." She slipped past him like it was nothing. Bart sighed and re-entered the house after her. "So, he sent the master manipulator, huh? What are you playing at, Aaron? Where the hell are you?" "Daddy! Mama!" CC yelled, throwing her arms out. "My dear, sweet girl!" Queen Mary returned. "Is that Caroline Condor?!" Duke Arden asked in del

2019, March 5th Aaron went to James' newly acquired mansion. He searched the Arden mansion; he had gone to a million different places that wouldn't or couldn't tell him if his brother was currently staying there. King Henry had men out looking for his sons too, making it even more difficult to try and find James or Zoey. What was the point of being a crown prince if you couldn't at least find out this much? Dawn was creeping up on him slowly, as though mocking his tired efforts. Aaron was growing desperate. He was just about to call his father and tell him about James and Zoey when Jesse received a call. "We have a live one, Your Highness," said an equally tired Jesse, though he seemed to be carrying his hours better. After the first two hours had passed without result, Aaron had called in his assistant, Jesse. Jesse's eyes went wide, shock registering on his face. "Are you sure about this?" "What?! What is it?!" "Okay, thanks for the info." Jesse hung up. "Have you found the

2019, March 5th James opened the door fully and pulled the bell boy standing on his doorstep into the room. He planned ahead for the wedding, before he decided not to go through with it after all. He didn't remember this young man being a part of the staff he had handpicked to be present. James' head felt like it was splitting open as bits and pieces of his memory came back. "Why were you at my wedding?!" James demanded. "I never asked for you to be there." Fear was now swimming in the tears the bell boy was making. "I'm really sorry, Sir! A friend of mine asked me a few hours prior to be on the lookout for Your Grace and the Lady," he said shakily, his eyes darting to Zoey. "What friend?" James asked, involuntarily forming a fist with his right hand. This only served to terrify the bell boy even more. "What friend?!" he screamed, slamming the door shut with his fist. "James!" Zoey yelled. He whipped his head around and what he found was a glass of water poured over his newfo

2018, December 4th and 5th (Aaron and Zoey on Height of Caines) No matter how he wished it differently, Aaron knew that inevitably things had to end. Time had to start again. He pulled away from her eager mouth. She wasn't in her right mind. Things had gone far enough. Listening to her laboured breaths, he took her hand and turned her around slowly so that her back was facing him. He laid his chin on her shoulder, bringing both of his arms to rest around her waist. When she opened her eyes, Zoey saw the whole of Caines lit up and spread out before her. "Wow, it's breath-taking." He'd gotten her to smile. "Where we are, it's called Height of Caines. It's not usually a view you almost die for, but it's pretty cool. Figured you should at least get to see it after your crazy ride up here," he said, an edge to his voice. "You're not still mad at me, are you?" she asked, leaning into him and letting herself relax as the cool breeze caressed her entire body. Maybe it was because she h

2018, December 4th and 5th As people filed into the palace's grand ballroom, CC and Aaron were seated on either side of their parents. CC took the time to accept every birthday wish and gift graciously, as was the duty of a princess. She stunned with the new tiara from her parents topping her high updo in her classical ice blue ball gown, with a sleeveless bodice studded in blue sapphires. Aaron's gift, a pair of blue diamond earrings, hung from her ears and complimented the dress perfectly. The compliments to CC took so long and were so plentiful that Aaron was getting impatient. Aaron already knew his sister was beautiful. He had seen her all dolled up a million times. The woman he wanted to see had yet to appear. He raised his head up to look for her in the queue of people coming to pay their respects and this is how Aaron was surprised by the appearance of another woman he should have braced himself for. "Princess Caroline, many returns on your 18th birthday," said Emily. Aaron

2019, March 5th (Zoey and James on the road) Zoey's eyes opened to an ominous conversation. James was talking to someone on the phone in hushed tones. "I said I'm handling it. Tell Lady Cassandra that I will be back when I'm back," he said, abruptly ending the call. Zoey yawned. "What was that about?" "Give me your phone," James said, holding out his hand. "What? Why?" "Give me your phone or get out of my car." "Charming as ever," she said, handing him her phone. He pulled out a burner phone and, after fidgeting with the two for some time, promptly tossed her phone out of the window. "Hey! What the hell?!" "It's got GPS, can be tracked." "So you just tossed it out of the car?!" "There's a bar up ahead. We'll take a little break there." "That was my phone!" "Yeah, it was also a way for them to find us." Zoey pouted. "That phone was my only way of staying in touch with my mom and Bart. Plus, I hadn’t saved the wedding photos to the cloud yet!" James sighed. "Good! You

2019, March 5th Bart, Zoey, and James sat down at a table in the far back of the bar. The tension in the air was palpable. James was getting more and more enraged by the second. "I can imagine everything that's happened to you has made you reckless, maybe even desperate, but I never thought you'd actually do this," said Bart, trying not to sound like he was taking his hat off to James. After all, he hadn't changed anything. This would only delay the inevitable. "Were you followed?" James asked, staring out the window. "Probably. I'm guessing we have about 30 minutes." "He's saying I kidnapped her?" "It's brilliant, really, if you think about it. It throws suspicion off of the wedding and it gives the king legal grounds to strip you of land and title." "But that's not what happened. So what now? Should we have a press conference or something? Set the record straight?" Zoey asked, looking between the two men. Bart's eyes softened. This Zoey looked nothing like the one from yest
