      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 16: Bridget WAS IT POSSIBLE TO DIE OF HUMILIATION? Forty-eight hours ago, I would’ve said no, but as I ate breakfast across the table from Rhys, I found myself firmly in the yes camp. I would either explode from how red my face was or melt into a puddle of mortification, whichever came first. “More bacon?” He pushed the plate in my direction. I shook my head, unable to meet his eye. I woke up that morning with a pounding headache, throbbing heat between my legs, and a horrifically clear…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 17: Bridget TWO DAYS LATER, WE LANDED IN COSTA RICA LIKE RHYS HAD PROMISED and drove two hours from the airport to a small town on the Pacific coast. I stared out the window at the country’s lush landscape, my head spinning from how fast everything had moved. I couldn’t believe Rhys, Mr. Safety and Security himself, was the one who suggested a last-minute trip, but I wasn’t complaining. I hadn't visited Costa Rica before, and four days in a tropical paradise sounded like, well,…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 18: Bridget WE SPENT FOUR GLORIOUS, PERFECT DAYS IN COSTA RICA.I woke up late, went to bed late, and spent my days eating, sunbathing, and reading a romance novel I’d picked up at the airport. Bucket list number two. On our third day, Rhys drove us two hours to Monteverde for zip lining. He said the company was the best in the area and he’d zip-lined with them several times himself. Still, his face was taut with tension as I prepared to go down the longest zip line. We’d only done the shorter…

    • Chapter 21: Bridget Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 21: Bridget SIX WEEKS LATER “His Majesty is ready to see you.” Markus stepped out of my grandfather’s office, his face so pinched he looked like he’d just swallowed a lemon whole. “Thank you, Markus.” I smiled. He didn’t smile back. He merely gave a quick nod of courtesy before he spun on his heels and marched down the hall. I sighed. If I thought my becoming crown princess would improve my relationship with Edvard’s closest advisor, I was sadly mistaken. Markus seemed more…
    • Chapter 22: Rhys Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 22: Rhys “THAT MAKES US EVEN.” I stuck my phone between my ear and shoulder so I could grab my suitcase out of the overhead bin. “I told you already that it does.” “I want to make sure it sinks in.” Christian’s drawl seeped over the line, its smooth, lazy veneer hiding the razor blades beneath the surface. It reflected the man behind the voice, a debonair charmer who could kill you with one hand and a smile on his face. Many a person had failed to look beyond the smile until it was…

      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 10: Rhys BRIDGET WANTED TO LEAVE FOR ELDORRA RIGHT AWAY, BUT I FORCED her to get some sleep first. We’d had a long day, and while I operated fine on minimal shuteye, Bridget got…cranky. She insisted she didn’t, but she did. I would know. I was often the one on the receiving end of her crankiness. Besides, there wasn’t much we could do about the situation at eleven at night. While she slept or tried to sleep, I packed the necessities, booked a plane using her usual charter company’s…

Rhys’s presence on the flight offered a brief distraction from her spiraling worries, allowing her a rare moment of rest, but when the plane touched down, reality crashed back in full force. The anxiety over her grandfather’s health had gnawed at her so fiercely that every second stuck in traffic toward the hospital felt like agony. Panic gripped her, fueling terrifying…
    • Chapter 12: Rhys Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 12: Rhys began with a gut feeling that something was wrong long before he stepped into the palace's grand reception hall. The low, urgent tones of Prince Nikolai’s voice sent a jolt of unease straight down Rhys's spine, sharpening every one of his instincts into high alert. Though he couldn't make out the exact words, the tension rippling from the small gathered group—Nikolai, Elin, and Viggo—was thick enough to cut through. Rhys, who knew the routines and faces of the palace by heart,…
