Sinopse

Emily Hollen had always been in love with Sebastian even though she had her heart broken by him in highschool. Moving through life, Emily's hobby was establishing hotels and resorts around the world and when her next destination was to a country governed by a monarch, she discovered the Soon-to-be-King was Sebastian. Emily and Sebastian rekindled their love but Sebastian's father was not pleased and he arranged for his son to be married to another woman. Emily was now in a royal romance triangle where both women wanted Sebastian to themselves.

Chapter 1Chapter 1

Emily's POV

"I guess it's true what they say about women with pretty faces. They're damaged goods in disguise."

He peeled off the bed and threw his T-shirt over his exposed chest.

"David, you don't have to leave like this." I pleaded but I actually did wanted him to leave.

"Nah, it's all good Emily. I'm going to be fine. I wish you a happy life and I hope you find what it is you're REALLY looking for."

He left the room and shut the door with a very loud slam which made my heart leap.

I did it again.

I chased away yet another guy because I couldn't find what I was looking for in him.

Of course I wouldn't find it. I wasn't looking for something, I was actually looking for someone.

I slowly walked out to the balcony and stared out at the horizon.

A feeling of a pound of tears lingered on my chest like crashing waves. My breathing hitched while my blood ran cold throughout my entire body.

"Why can't I forget you? It's been ten years Sebastian. Ten long, lonely years without seeing you or hearing your voice. You're only memories now but you wouldn't go away." I softly spoke as if he was actually listening to me.

I didn't like the woman I was becoming. I didn't want to be responsible for ruining 'love' for a person or for people. I was aware that I should accept someone for who they were and not what I wanted them to be but I wanted to love again as well. I needed to love again.

The look on David's face when I ended our time together... I couldn't stand seeing someone else hurt because I didn't have my heart and feelings in order.

I walked back into the room and got into the bathtub. I took an hour bath and stepped into an outfit for a late night party at the club.

After dressing, applying my makeup and styling my hair, I met up with my best friend who also happened to be my personal assistant, in the hotel's lobby.

Gen and I had visited Conovia- a small but beautiful foreign country just beyond the United Kingdom, to guide and establish a water front hotel on one of the beaches. Ps. Conovia isn't located beyond the UK. Conovia doesn't exist. I thought it would be cool to make up a country for this fiction

"You're looking sexy tonight boss." She teased as we got into the limousine.

"Don't start with me Gen. I already want this night to be over."

"Where's David?"

"He left."

"Oh Em, I'm so sorry. I really thought that the two of you would of..."

"I ended it." I cut her off before she finished her statement.

"Really? Why?" She turned towards me so that she was looking me straight in the face.

I heaved a sigh.

"Oh, I see. You're thinking about him again." Gen knew me like if we had grew up in the same house and feed off the same mother.

"I can't get him out of my mind and I feel terrible for David. He's a really great guy Gen, but for some reason, I can't love him."

"Of course not. You've been dating him for only three months. It took me two years to fell in love with someone."

"This isn't about you Gen." I groaned as I sunk myself into the comfortable seat of the lemo as the driver drove towards the night club.

"Don't worry sweetie. One shot of Hennessy and you'll be alright." Gen said and patted my shoulder.

Half an hour later, we arrived at a club. The music was blaring and the atmosphere was cold. I wrapped my arms around myself as Gen and I walked towards the front of the line.

"IDs ladies!" A very muscular guy wearing black sunglasses, said.

Gen and I complied and also showed our VIP tickets. There were groans of complains from the other people in the long line when he ushered us inside before they got the chance.

The scent of strong alcohol and overused perfumes hung in the air as we made our way over to the bar,?

Gen holding my hand and pushing people out of her path.

"Bartender! Two shots of 'henny' please." She called.

"Gen, we're VIPs. Being here isn't necessary."

"I know that but the vibe here is lit and turn all the way uppppp!" She squealed and threw her arms in the air as she dragged the word 'up'.

"You haven't had one drink yet and you're already drunk." I joked.

"Shut upppp."

We got our shots of Hennessy and made our way up to the VIP area but it was boring up there.

The music was less deafening, the enclosed walls hide the rest of the club from our sights, and there wasn't anyone else present but Gen and me.

"Girl, shall we head back downstairs?" She asked with a raised eyebrows.

"Please."

We headed back downstairs and got into the tangled of bodies on the dance floor. I needed to dance my 'damage' self away and when the DJ hit Rihanna's?Please Don't Stop The Music,?I found myself being a free spirit.

Gen got exhausted quickly. She pulled me towards the bar to have a seat with her.

"Oh damn, I have to pee." She made a beeline to the washroom but after a minute, she came back and crossed her legs in front of the other.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I haven't peed because the bathrooms are jammed."

"I'm certain you could use the ones upstairs." I answered, pointing at her VIP bracelet we got from the bouncer.

"Come with me?"

"Nah, I'm having my drink." I took a sip and waved to her. She rolled her eyes and walked away.

"EM! EM!" I heard Gen calling from through the now thicker crowd.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I saw him. He's here."

"Saw who. Who's here?"

"Sebastian."

My heart skipped ten beats.

Everyone—Selina's father, stepmother, and Ryan's parents—knew about their affair, except for Selina, who was left in the dark. Taking advantage of the situation, Selina's father suggested swapping brides, proposing that Natalia replace Selina and complete the wedding.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
