Chapter 35 Blast From The Past

• I take my eyes off my perfect Prince for a split second only for them to fall upon a disgsting woman. Sure, she’s pretty, if you’re into blonde hair and blue eyes on a short and curvy frame that is. She looks more like a child than a woman and she practically cowers behind Daniel like a scared animal. She looks familiar and I can almost put my finger on where I’ve seen her before... almost...
• I watch as my Prince wraps his arm around her shoulders and I feel my blood begin to heat. He pulls her tight to his chest and plants a kiss on the top of her head, bending ever so slightly to do so because she is so short--not feminine and lean at all. She looks nothing like me at all and I can’t help but question why he would be with such an inconfident mouse of a woman over myself. Surely he cannot be with someone so--so--inferior?
• Daniel clears his throat, breaking the silence of the room and interrupting my thoughts. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Royal Court, I would like to introduce to you my betrothed, Annalise Shaw.”
