Chapter Eleven

Emma

I sing like an angel. I had no idea. It must be true because right this very minute Jackson Walker, rock god, guitar player extraordinaire, is creating music just for my voice. I’m sitting in the hallway, leaning against his bedroom wall, listening to the beautiful sounds of a melody coming together. He’s the brilliant one, composing music, creating something out of nothing.

I didn’t want Jackson disturbed while he was creating, so I left my post only once to say a warm goodbye to my family. I told them I wanted to stay here for a while more with Jackson, exploring my new gift for music. Anna sent me a knowing look, Lucas bid me good luck, and Gabriel grumbled but acquiesced to his wife’s insistence that I would be fine here with Jackson and my guards. The danger has passed. Our sources reported that Abdul and his guards went back to Kainei last night, and his family cleared out of the palace this morning.

The only one not on board with my extended-stay plan (or aware of it) is Jackson. He agreed to a week, but that was when I was in the midst of the biggest scandal of my life. Do I have anything that he could want that would keep him here? I don’t think even a bold seduction on my part would make him stick around long. I don’t have any romantic delusions where he’s concerned. He’s not one for relationships, and I know my family is not on board with us as a couple anyway. Only Lucas seems to see the good in him. Anna made it clear that Jackson would only bring more scandal and the wrong kind of attention to our family. After all I’ve done to harm our family’s reputation, I understand the need to avoid further damage.

I won’t truly get involved with him, but how can I turn my back on this new musical side to myself? I’ve so enjoyed our guitar lessons, and now discovering my voice is something special, well, it only makes me want to delve further into the music. And I need him for that.

I’m not ready to say goodbye.

He’s brought me only joy. I’m not sure what I’ve brought him, if anything. Maybe if I pay him for guitar lessons, make it worth his time, he’d stay on. I warm to the idea. It sounds so reasonable this way, not at all like I’m lusting after him or asking for a commitment, which I’m not. Of course I’m not. I’m merely asking for an extended visit. I’ll offer my engagement ring in exchange for a month of guitar lessons at the villa. No one else wants the ring, and the diamond is worth a million euros. Even if he doesn’t need the money, he could sell the diamond and donate it to a good cause, which is something I could never do under the circumstances. At least someone would benefit from it. This sounds like an excellent plan.
