PRINCE'S SECRET SHOCKER: IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR!

MARRIED…TO HIS NEW SISTER! THE STORY THE ROYAL FAMILY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO READ!

I rip the paper from her hands, my stomach queasy as I skim the article, bits and pieces of phrases jumping off the page at me. A source close to the palace confirms that Isabella Kensington and Prince Albert have been sneaking around the palace for months now…married in a Las Vegas ceremony at a wedding chapel, by an Elvis impersonator…

My heart sinks.

Oh God.

"It's true, Isabella," she says, ripping the newspaper out of my hands and throwing it on the ground like it's contaminated. "Don't try to tell me it's not. Royal Intelligence did their own digging around."

Fantastic.

"It was a joke."

"You didn't see fit to mention any of this when you showed up here?" Sofia asks, her voice shrill, nearly a squeak at this point. "You didn't think that perhaps you might have wanted to mention that you'd met Albert before – that you married him in Vegas? And what kind of person – a Kensington – gets married in a wedding chapel in Vegas?"

"It was a joke," I repeat, my voice flat. “I’m sure it’s not even legal. We were going to get an annulment.”

All I can think about is the fact that all of this – the sham marriage, my relationship with Albie – will be plastered across every tabloid magazine, every gossip blog, every evening celebrity news show throughout Europe. Every sin either of us have ever committed in our entire lives will be dragged up and rehashed in the public eye until people are satisfied that we've been sufficiently humiliated.

Our relationship will be laid bare.

I'll be laid bare.

I can't handle it.

"This isn't a joke, Isabella," Sofia hisses. "Whether it was legal or not is irrelevant. You think that these kinds of things are unimportant, frivolities that are beneath you. It's that easy for you to destroy my relationship with Leopold."

"I didn't destroy anything – we didn't destroy anything," I protest.

"We," she says, her hand going to her mouth. "It's we, isn't it. The wedding wasn’t a joke. The two of you are together.”

"No," I say, my voice loud. "The wedding was a joke. That's all it was. I didn't know he was a prince."

She's doesn't even register my protest. "There will be a meeting, Isabella," she says. "A family meeting. A plan. This entire thing is finished. It will all be swept under the rug. You'll need to do an interview, both of you – the PR team will decide all of that, of course. Denial – that’s the best strategy here, I think.”

I can't hear anything she's saying, except bits and pieces of words: PR team…interview…family meeting.

All of it will be focused on Albie and I and our drunken marriage.

And our current relationship.

The tabloids will paint it into something dirty, something disgusting and reprehensible. There will be more headlines like the one on the paper she's holding. I can already picture them:
