Confusion
The shrilling sound of a phone woke her up the next day. She cursed as her back ached from lying on the cold floor the entire night.
Sarah stood up feeling sore yet again. However, she didn't have the luxury of laziness around. She walked towards the phone and received the call.
To her surprise, it was His highness Beau calling to tell her that she and Prince Mark had the day off to bond. She could feel the headache coming on upon hearing the man's name.
Since she couldn't refuse, she accepted the order and walked off to the bathroom. She took her time to wash off the sweat and blood from the night before.
Just like her left arm, half of her back was covered in tattoos. Each time she saw them, she acknowledged the beauty that lay beneath the intricate ink.
It was a masterpiece that carried a message. Each is a symbol of the things she lost and those she gained. Each pattern of ink on her skin was a symbol of strength to her.
