Chapter 1: Marriage

"Serenity, hon? Where are you?"I heard my mom calling me downstairs, but I'm still inside the bedroom, staring at my reflection in the mirror.I don't want it. I don't want to be married, nor entertain the mere thought of it."Serenity?" my mom called again, the impatience evident in her tone. "Are you still inside your room? I told you to move quickly. The Continental family was waiting for us."My stomach churned upon hearing those words. It only made me freeze in my spot, wanting to run away as fast as I could. But if I do that, my parents would surely be disappointed at me. After I work hard to please them, I can't let everything go in vain just because of this marriage."I'm coming!" I replied, forcing a smile as I opened the door. "Sorry if I took longer to fix myself than expected. I-I'm nervous, maybe because it's Hans."It's true. I'm nervous, but not because of Hans. I'm nervous that I might mess with that date they had set up for us. I don't like him as a person, what mor

Chapter 2: Rules

I raised my head to look at him.My jaws dropped, seeing how handsome he was. Thick black brows, pointed nose, chiseled jaw, and his lips… It was red. I want to taste it.Goodness. What did I just say?“Hey, you okay?” he asked, snapping me back to my senses.“Not only did you eavesdrop on our conversation earlier, but you sat beside me without my consent?” I asked, tilting my head and raising an eyebrow.Right. I should repel him while it’s still early. I don’t want Mom and Dad to do something embarrassing again.Pushing away all the guys who will be near me, thinking they’re my suitors—for example.“Consent?” he asked, the disbelief evident in his voice. “Do I need one?”I blinked twice in shock. “Wait… Don’t you know who I am?”“You?” He looked at me from head to toe. “You’re a woman who doesn’t want to be married to someone she barely knew.”“Tch.” I scoffed, my gaze moving to the floor.Right. That's why he had the nerve to speak to me casually. He didn't know my identity as the

Chapter 3: Princess

My eyes widened. He’s right. For a moment, I forgot about it all… And I can’t deny that my heart feels lighter now that I don’t have any negative emotions.I released it. All thanks to him.“I guess you’re feeling that good, huh? You didn’t even notice your phone ringing.”“Huh?” I looked at my phone and realized he was right. “Shit. It’s Dad.”Crap. Did he already know I’m not with Mia right now? But how?I slapped my forehead, realizing that Dad has many eyes around me. How could I think about staying away from them when they could bring me back home in a snap?“Shit,” I cursed again, staring at the phone. I don’t even want to answer it.And the phone died, revealing the wallpaper I had. It’s our family picture.River looked at it, and his expression darkened. It didn’t even change, as my Dad called me again for the nth time. I didn’t even notice it earlier—I was too busy cursing River while the rollercoaster took different turns.Shit. What should I do now? I know I should answer

Chapter 4: Stay

Before I knew it, my cheeks were heating up.This isn’t the first time I was complimented for my appearance and how I handle myself with grace—since my parents made sure that I’ll grow up this way.Tons of suitors even said more than that as they admired me.But… Why am I acting this way when River said those words?Why is he giving me sensations I never felt with anyone before? Could it be that I like him?If that’s the case, then… Could he be mine?“You shouldn’t do that when you’re outside, River,” Dad scolded him. “You’re not in Italy right now. People might misunderstand your actions.”“But she’s my little, demure princess. What would other people misunderstand?” River asked, raising an eyebrow.I wasn’t stupid not to understand what my father was trying to say. Shivers sent down my spine as a realization struck me.“He… isn’t my stepbrother, right?” I asked, yet deep inside, I was hoping to be wrong.“Of course, he’s not,” Mom answered me instead, a playful smile curving on her

Chapter 5: Consent

My breathing hitched. His mouth onto my ear, feeling his breath onto my skin… Everything felt so sensual.Sensations sent onto my spine, and although my brain tells me this is wrong, I can’t stop my body from acting up.God, why? This is so much. I’ve never been with any man before, not to mention a man who’s as handsome and charismatic as River.“A-Alright…” I answered, trying not to show that much how nervous I was. “Can you step back now? Y-You’re too close. People might get the wrong idea.”River smirked, and instead of complying with my request, he even stepped closer—as if the closeness between us wasn’t still enough.Placing a strand of hair at the back of my ear, River muttered, “And why would they get the wrong idea? We’re cousins.”Clutching the fabric of my cloth, I controlled myself as a sudden sensation traveled into my body.Serenity, don’t entertain those thoughts! River is just messing with you!I repeated those words like a chant, like it’s the only thing that would

Chapter 6: Bodyguards

For some reason, those words… made me feel belittled. It’s like he was telling me that I deserve what I tolerate.This jerk. I used to think he was kind because he was taking my side, and because he showed concern toward me, even though it was our first time meeting each other.But now, I hate him again. I just want to strangle him.In bed.Shit. Where did that thought come from?“Damn. Is this how you live in the States?” River asked, shaking his head, as if he was in disbelief. “I’m not even thinking that much about business in my academic days. I only train in my free time.”Dad scoffed. “You’re a Palmer. Of course, you will be on a different level. No one can dictate to you. You don’t even follow your parents.”“Come on, Rico. Stop that.” River chuckled, scratching his nape, pretending to be embarrassed as he looked at me. “Princess might think that I’m a reckless person.”“Well, aren’t you?” I raised an eyebrow and folded my arms. “You even keep calling me princess even if that’s

Chapter 7: Dinner

My guards stiffened upon hearing those words.They knew that Mia wasn’t bluffing. Whatever she says, she does. And if she said that she’ll take this incident to the principal’s office? She will.“So, what can you say?” Mia asked, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. “Would you like me to go to the principal’s office now?”“No need, Ma’am Mia,” one of my guards answered as he took a step back. “We’re sorry for the inconvenience.”“Good. Now, go.” Mia shooed them away, her brows furrowed. “And… please. Study how to be a cool bodyguard. Because what are you doing right now? It’s not cool.”The guards didn’t reply. Instead, they took another step away until they were now far from us.I heaved a sigh, although I can still see them in my peripheral vision.“Haah. Finally, they’re gone,” Mia said as she turned to me. “To be honest? I really don’t have any idea how you are enduring that, babe.”“I mean, if my parents control me like that? They won’t see me in this country anymore. Ever,

Chapter 8: Arrival

His movements were loud, taking everyone’s attention as all of us looked at him.“Am I interrupting something?” River asked, his voice low and teasing. “Can I join?”“Sure.” My mom’s voice broke as she cleared her throat. “Sure. Please, take a seat.”River sat across from me, then he took my hand and kissed the back of my palm.“Hello, Princess.”I only showed a weak smile in response, but at the same time, I felt so delighted. It was like my heart was singing hallelujah.For the first time, someone acknowledged my presence without asking anything in return.“Stop doing that, River,” my mom reprimanded, her voice low with authority. “Other people might get the wrong idea.”“But you’re not other people, Mrs. Miller.” River’s lips curved into a smirk. “I’m sure that you understand that this is a tradition I couldn’t remove, not even when I’m in the States.”Mom sighed. She wanted to speak, but one warning glance from Dad and she immediately went silent, holding the cutlery as if her en

Chapter 9: Fiancé

I froze. The name hit me like cold water.Hans Continental.The words echoed in my mind. I heard rumors about him before. He’s the man every parent would want to marry their daughter to. Tall, handsome, and lots of women were lining up for him.Yet he chose me.Hans is someone who had never once crossed my path, yet somehow already owned my future.“He’s the ideal match,” my mother added smoothly, as if she were doing all of this for me. “His family’s resources will help our company to reach more heights.”Mom added, “So, you must marry him.”My fingers curled into my lap, nails digging into my skin. Necessary. That’s what she says.Life must have been so cruel that it continuously shows me that my parents don’t love me. They only love the fact that I’m beneficial to them.It hurts.That’s the only thing running on my mind as my heart began to race. I took a deep breath, doing my best not to let my emotions consume me.Marriage. Alliance. Duty. It’s as if I’m a weapon they were willi

Chapter 10: Reason

River didn’t flinch, but at the same time, he decided to let it go, the same thing he did to my hand as he sat properly, not even minding the deadly glare my parents were giving him now.“I apologize,” he said calmly, his voice lower than before, and I can’t even decipher whether he’s serious or not. “I just find it interesting how love and duty are often confused in this house.”I felt something shift inside me then.Another crack. Because the first one was when he approached me at the bar, asking me about the things I didn’t even bother thinking about before—my entire life.Or maybe I did, but because I can’t fight, I thought it would be useless even if I thought about it.But River is right. Love doesn’t feel like this.Love shouldn’t feel like this.I lowered my head before anyone else could see me, afraid my expression would betray me.My parents didn’t bother answering River to those words. Instead, they continued eating as they returned, talking about business, as if River and
