every breath you take (my love lies in wait)
When your ex-lover lies in a coma halfway across the world, what do you do when his mother calls begging you to talk to him? For Prince Henry, the answer is clear: drop everything and fight for the man he pushed away. In this emotional journey of redemption and second chances, every word spoken to the unconscious Alex might be the key to bringing him back... or the final goodbye you never got to say.The phone slips from my hand, clattering against the marble floor of my palace bedroom. "He's in a coma." Alex's mother's voice echoes in my mind, each word a hammer blow to my chest. I sink to my knees, staring at the cracked screen displaying Ellen Claremont's caller ID.
Three months since I last heard from Alex. Three months since he said, "I love you too much to pretend that I don't." Three months since I destroyed the best thing that ever happened to me out of fear.
The screen lights up again, Bea's name flashing. She knows. Of course she does. Everyone knows everything in this gilded cage I call home.
I reach for the phone with trembling hands, knowing my life is about to change forever. The question isn't whether I'll go to him—it's whether I'll finally have the courage to fight for what I want when I get there.
The call connects, and Bea's voice fills my ear, gentle but urgent. "Shaan has the jet ready. When do you want to leave?"
I close my eyes, imagining Alex's face—the way his eyes crinkle when he laughs, the determined set of his jaw when he's fighting for something he believes in. For me.
"Now," I whisper. "I need to see him now."
