Chapter 2
I believer in fairytales. I believed in true love like the one my parents had, and hoped to find that for myself someday. I knew my parents would have wanted that for me, and not for me to be trapped into a loveless and forced marriage done for my grandfather’s sake.
With every minute of silence I spent in that car, I could sense my own dreams of the future breaking and being left behind.
The silent torture of an hour (that seemed like an eternity) ended when the limousine stood in front of a house so huge, it

“I’m following you to our room.”
“Our room?” He looked like he wanted to laugh, “You think we’re going to share rooms?”
I blinked. “We’re not?”
“My room is at the end of this hallway. Yours is at the end of that He pointed in the opposite direction.
The remaining shreds of any hope of a more cordial relationship between us died. “Good,” I pretended to be relieved, “I was dreading sharing a room.”

Escort Chamber?
What was he, royalty?
Nonetheless, I just nodded.
“Oh, and…” He added, “I was hoping I could come to your room. He paused, checked his watch, and then looked up.
