After Twelve Years

ALIRA POV

Twelve years had passed since I got engaged to the crown prince of Flousia, Caden Hulls Richards.

We were six when we agreed with our parents to have an engagement. Caden's mother, Aunt Peggy, decided to keep us apart until we reached eighteen.

We didn't deny the idea and just went with the flow. That time, Caden promised that he would never forget about me. And that he would marry me someday.

In the first few months, we were allowed to call and text each other. But things got complicated when we were caught talking until midnight. My grades went down, and dad wondered why.

My twin brother Lucas was the one who told my parents about me talking to Caden until midnight. Mom got mad and took my phone away from me.

Then, we were just allowed to send emails and letters to each other. For five years, I continuously received one every day from Caden. I was happy that he was keeping his promise.
