One year. It had been a whole year since Jacob had been home. And now, the royal family’s private jet was touching down in the newly built airport in the heart of his city. He was finally home. The war was over, and he could finally live in peace again. He watched the city below as the plane touched down, admiring the way the new buildings shimmered in the sunlight. He couldn’t wait to explore the new parts of town with Bri.
He couldn’t wait to see his wife again.
Tanner picked the prince up from the airport. He hugged his steward, happy to see another friendly face. Jacob had asked Tanner not to tell Bri he was coming home. He wanted to surprise her. But, there was a look on the steward’s face that troubled him.
“What’s wrong?” Jacob asked, frowning. “Is Bri okay?”
