Love Untangled

I was roaming the palace halls, pretending to be a servant. My heart drummed when I first saw her. Jasmine’s cat-like green eyes haunted me from the moment that I had met her. The new maid in our Saudi palace was everything I had ever dreamed of; a body that made every man kneel, her intelligence was beyond imagination and her passion set my whole world on fire. Although I knew she truly loved me, her love for me was more like a game of push and pull. She did not wish to marry anyone, and certainly not me. Meeting Saphira back home in Malibu USA, had seemed like a welcome distraction. And although I resisted, we had deeply fallen. It was not something I could easily take back... Saphira was not everything that I had once dreamed of, and I certainly did not plan to love her. But I did regardless, irrevocably so. My name is Benjamin El-Raji Saud, Prince of Saudi Arabia. They say love wasn’t supposed to be easy, I know that now. The story of how our love became untangled, was messy and twisted and full of heart ache and betrayal. I truly did not know how our story would end, but is was ours. Which ship are you rooting for? #Shaphmin #Jazzmin #Shaphary #Benierra? #Saphlik?

I made a bad call

*Benjamin's POV*

I clutched my hands to the table. It felt like I was going to break it in half. 

"I am hurt," she cried. I could no longer look at the screen. This physically hurt me to see her this way. "Our country is powerful, rich beyond comprehension and our people are thriving." She said like she was reading a script. 

"That is because we have the Sharia in place," she continued. "Our country has been led by mighty Sultan's that were true men of the house of Saud," she said monotonously. 

That was what this was about. I was born in Saudi-Arabia only for technicalities, but I was certainly not raised there either way. They were scared of western influences. 

"As we do not see Benjamin, the prince of Saud fit for the throne, we asked you to step down now," she said in a shaky voice. 

I could hear she was forced to say this.
