Synopsis

"--Very well." He exhaled sharply, loosening his shirt and tie with a prompt tug. "Since you don't believe me." He slid his uniform's necktie and slipped off his suit jacket. Her eyes went wide. "What are you doing?!" "Undressing. Is that not apparent?" He started unbuttoning his undershirt. ******* A 21st century Jane Austen-inspired and Taming of the Shrew hybrid historical fiction love affair with snowballing romance, thrilling mystery and intrigue, dashed with a spice of the supernatural.

"My lady?" He softly called, requesting her attention. 

Unrelentless in her tug of war, she briefly glanced at him once, and then twice. There was something in his hands that on second inspection, captured her attention.

"Thirsty?" There was a tea cup in his hand. 

She stopped struggling, and grimaced. 

"This will feel cool as it dries on your skin." He raised the cup. "Believe me, I'm speaking from experience." He overturned the cup, tea raining down on her dress and showered her face. 

Quietly, she whipped away tea from her eyes. 

Taking ahold of another cup from the cart, he bent down to her level, foot rooted strategically on the dress. "How silly of me. If you're thirsty you should have the opportunity to drink, right?"

"I promise you." She glared, speaking through clenched teeth. "You are going to regret this." 

His smile was cordial. "Will I, or will you?"

You want me to die!!” The Crown Prince astonishingly said, keeping his icy gaze intact on the woman on his bed. “Cruel people are not worthy of anyone’s kindness,” the Crown princess pronounced sternly. The crown prince chuckled. “Kindest is the one who whimpers in pain. Are you ready for undergoing that pain with this cruel man?” Crown prince asked, slightly tilting his head, and a smirk formed on his lips.
