We both cross the road with Mr. Stanley sitting tight in Ray’s arms. “That’s my house.” He takes a step forward in the direction of his raised hand. “Those boys promised to build a huge house for Mr. Stanley in the yard.” My chest constricts before he turns around and asks, “Are you a prince?”
An unexpected chuckle shoots out of me at his light-hearted words as they subdue some of my anxiety. “I like to think of myself as a prince.”
“You do?” His wide eyes light up. “In my gigi’s stories, the prince always saves people.”
After that, he does the cutest thing in the world.He bows.“Thank you so much, Your Highness, for rescuing me.”
This kid is too fucking adorable and cute. And a full-blown smile stretches across my face just hearing him call meYour Highness.
“I’ll not break any of my promises. I will be a very good boy.”
“Good. I’m very glad to hear that.” I ruffle his hair lightly as I often do with my nephews.
Ray turns around and ambles toward his home. When he’s inside, I put my car in drive with my mind going back to the weird encounter.
I cannot get rid of the anxiety about Ray’s safety. I can’t seem to not care about him. I don’t know if it’s because of the uncanny resemblance between him and my childhood self, or because of the way he looked at me as if I’m some sort of knight, or prince as he called me. When I heardYour Highnessfrom his adorable mouth, I felt ten feet tall.
Thinking about him the whole ride, I reachThe Ritzand hand my car keys to the valet. Unlike my brothers, I never bought an apartment or a house, instead I bought a fucking hotel.
Not only is it a good investment, but it’s also perfect for me.
After I spend the night with someone in the room reserved for my personal use, I can easily bid her farewell with breakfast and return to my top-floor presidential suite without wasting anymore time.
This makes everything cordial. Sometimes, the woman might spend the day in the spa or the pool and that’s okay as long as I don’t see her again.
