. especially those of a prince who has been fed nothing but secrets and lies his whole life."Broman had listened to Aris clear up a good many of those... secrets and lies over the years, but he always had a feeling that they were only chipping away at an iceberg that represented his royal family. "You're to inherit the throne on the mark of the ides," he began again after no response from Broman.

He looked down his body for the third time that evening inorder to ensure his tuxedo was immaculate. Satisfied, he stepped fullyinto the bar. Light music played from a live piano in the corner andmuted conversations filled the room with a low level hum. Robertsurveyed the area, eyeing every single woman. His eye lingered on a fewof the more attractive ones before continuing. Finally, he found Ms.O'Neal. I saw some empty boxes and then retreated to my room which was next to Christine's. I could hear the shower running and the bedroom door was open. I went to close it and the showere went off and out popped Christine. She had a housecoat on and she was drying her hair. She saw me and smiled saying how glad she was to see me. I said hello and asked if everything was all right. She smiled but asked if I could fix the door on the closet which kept sliding open. I went in and bent down. I. I made it to the top without crying or crying out. We went to my room and I undressed and put my robe on. I told Laura that I had to take a quick shower. She nodded but she asked, "Are you alright? Do you need help?"I sighed and with far more conviction than I felt I said, "I'll be fine."I grabbed a pair of pajamas and went down the hall. I brushed my teeth while the water warmed up and then I took a quick shower. The hot water washed away the smell. But the pain and the horrible memories.
