Ordinarily enough, Udayveer Singh enjoyed the attention lavished upon him. He knew how to make any publicity good publicity. But today was different: today was the day he would finally see his beloved queen in the flesh-and-blood again, long after she and her lover were presumed to have died in a car crash. She was the Princess Diana of India for many; for him she was the innocent face that haunted him everyday, whether he was asleep or awake.
But Maanyata Udayveer Singh was alive. No one knew how; and by what means, but she'd materialized out of thin air, wearing the same dress and tiara she'd sported a year ago at the same auction. And before he knew it, he heard her voice, huskily luring him out of the murderous assaults he was planning for her.
"Hello husband. Remember me?" He was temporarily stunned, not only by the shock of finally seeing her alive, but also because of the diamond she was saucily flashing at him...a diamond that looked suspiciously similar to the one he'd gifted her and assumed she'd thrown away.
Quickly he composed herself. He would not give her the privilege of having unsettled him. He adopted his famous smirk instantaneously, his voice a tad snarky despite his efforts to stay calm.
