RHEA'S POVAfter Estefan left, I remained on the bed with the half-empty glass of water in my hand. I sighed for the tenth time that night as my eyes lingered on the wedding band on my finger. "Rhea, there is no escaping for you anymore. You are now a princess of Spain and you have to learn to live like one," I said to myself as I gulped down the remaining water in the glass and placed it on the lampstand.Feeling uncomfortable in the wedding dress, I took out my shoes first before stretching my hands towards my back to undo the tiny buttons but I couldn't. I tried to stretch my hands farther but I wasn't able to reach the buttons. It was times like this that made me regret giving up ballet, if not I would have had enough shoulder flexibility to help me reach my hands down my back. My shoulders fell as I got tired of trying to take off the dress, and that was when an idea popped into my head. Yanking the door open, I saw the two Palace attendants, taking their position on each side

RHEA'S POVIt was 4:30 am when I woke up to write the last chapter of my book; Royal Deception. The deadline for entry in the writing contest was the end of the month, so I had two weeks to finish editing and submitting the book. I tried not to type too hard on my laptop so I wouldn't wake Estefan who was still sleeping soundly with the noise that the keys made. Sleeping on the same bed with him was so uncomfortable since I was used to having an entire bed all to myself. Maybe I could convince him to let us have separate rooms when he wakes up because I didn't think I could cope with the new setting.Estefan stirred beside me and I pretended not to notice still he sat up. "Why are you awake this early?" He asked in a deep morning voice."I get my best inspiration at the time of the day and besides, it was so uncomfortable to sleep here." I shifted my attention from my laptop to look at him and I regretted I did.His hair was ruffled on his head, giving him that sexy morning look. It

RHEA'S POVDriving into the private airport of the royal family, I looked through the tinted windows to see a white jet with the Spain flag painted boldly on the side. The car stopped beside the jet with two other cars behind it as an escort. A guard opened the door and Estefan stepped out. I was about to climb out when he held his hand out for me, I took it and stepped out of the car. The guards dragged our suitcase behind us as we strode towards the jet and ascend the stairs to go inside."Welcome aboard, Your Highnesses, " a fair-skinned lady in a black suit dress greeted us as we stepped inside the jet. "I'm Martha and I will be your hostess for today. If you need anything, I will be at your service.Estefan nodded curtly while I gave a bright smile muttering a 'thank you'. She led us to our sear before leaving with the guard. I took the seat next to the window while Estefan sat beside me in silence. Ever since we left the palace, he hasn't said a word to me and I couldn't care l

RHEA'S POV"That was so much fun, can we go again?" I jumped as Estefan brought that boat back to the shore."No." He turned off the boat and climbed down. "Why not?" I stomped my foot on the floor of the boat."We have been on the water for three hours, I'm exhausted and starving. I'm sure you are too, so let's go inside." He held his hand out for me to help me climb down."Fine," I grumbled as I took his hand and jumped down.We walked back into the house to meet two ladies laughing over something on the phone. They didn't seem to notice our presence as they were engrossed in what they were looking at. "Are you here to work or slack off?" Estefan's voice boomed in the living room, making everyone in the room jump in shock including me."We are sorry, Your Highness. We didn't notice when you came in," the lady with the chestnut-brown hair said as they bowed their head. They both had dark eyes and looked like they are in their twenties."Is lunch ready?" He asked."Yes, Your Highnes

LEAH'S POV"How long do you plan to keep this up?" my dad asked over breakfast. "As long as I can," I replied as I sipped my coffee.Since my parent arrived from Spain they have been trying to convince me to call Rhea and talk to her. It made me sick that they cared about how she was feeling and all, but they didn't even bother to ask me how I was coping with the situation. All the hard work I went through to get to the top of my career was slowly turning to dust, but all they care about was their little innocent daughter."Leah, just call your sister once and talk to her. She misses you," my mom said in a pleading tone.There it was again, only thinking about Rhea. "Mum, please. I don't have the energy to talk about Rhea this early morning." "We won't be talking about her if you would just let go of whatever happened and call her," dad raised his voice at me. "I don't understand why you are this mad about her marrying Estefan. You don't even love him, all you wanted was to become
