A Royal Christmas Wish: A Sweet & Clean Romance

Graciela Mendoza Hernandez boarded the private jet to join the Crown Prince of Santa Rosa, His Royal Highness Prince Alejandro Antonio Javier, before they left to spend the week before Christmas in Aidinovia, after he had left her a long list of administrative tasks to complete before leaving! She had loved Alejandro for more than a decade, but he had no awareness of that fact. Graciela was getting tired of living in such close proximity to something she could never have. Prince Alejandro commented on his brother’s “love at first sight” for Madison. He thought that concept was preposterous and asked if Graciela agreed. She didn’t, and his comment made her laugh. They had always had a wonderful friendship and he made her laugh, but it wasn’t enough anymore. Prince Alejandro noticed how Graciela did everything she could to avoid talking to him. He tried to ask if he had offended her or said something wrong. Finally he said he knew what the problem was. They had such a wonderful relationship and he had not told her enough how invaluable she was to him. So when they returned, he would give her a raise! She snatched up a magazine and held it before her face, not at all what he expected! He pulled the magazine away and again asked what was wrong! So she told him she needed change in her personal life. This was not what he wanted to hear since major changes to her life meant major changes to his life and he liked the dynamic between the two of them just the way it was. Graciela was grateful that Princess Helena and Princess Madison came to meet them so she would not have to talk to Prince Alejandro. A raise? Was he that obtuse? At least she now knew how blind he really was to her feelings. It would help her make a decision. At the Aidinovian palace, 8-year-old Princess Josephine, the youngest Tollvi sibling, hugged Graciela as she exited the limo. The two of them happily went up to her suite to order hot chocolate and a cookie. Asking what each other wanted for Christmas, Josephine excitedly said that perhaps Alejandro would give her a shiny engagement ring for Christmas! No, that would never happen. She would build a life for herself with family, friends, children, and work she enjoyed -- everything she loved, except Alejandro. Alejandro went skiing without Graciela, who said she had made other plans. He stopped skiing, finding it wasn’t as fun without her. She was by the fireplace, looking beautiful and elegant, and then he noticed a blond American was with her, his attention focused solely on Graciela. Alejandro approached but Graciela did not introduce him until he cleared his throat and said her name. She introduced Robert Ashton who owned a vineyard in California. Assuming this was work-related then, Alejandro said he would join them – but they excused themselves to take Josephine sledding instead. What was happening? What would he do when Graciela left for California and her new job? Would he let her walk away, thinking it was best for her? Or would losing her awaken him to the reality that he truly was in love with her? This was a wonderful story, right out of a fairy tale! Alejandro was blind to what love was. He was content to live life as he always had, never realizing the effect on the woman he thought would be with him forever. Is it too late now to get her back?
