Summary: Five months ago, a shy and innocent Rose met the perfect guy and she thought that after so many disappointments in her love life, he would finally be the one. But as the time passes, things in her life start going down bit by bit and she sees herself obliged to finally choose what is best for her and get out of that toxic place her life has become. But to make things even worse, one day she meets a harsh, cold, full of issues Russian whose intentions are hard to understand and that pushes all of her buttons. He comes strolling in her life when she at least needed it and turns it upside down completely, changing everything she has even known about the supposedly perfect guy and the life she was living with him. What will happen when, as she needs to stay alive, Rose has to go with this stranger? And if things weren't hard enough for her already, she feels an incredible attraction towards him from the first second they meet. And for him, things are no different, but will he be able to finally confront his past and respond to Rose's feelings?

Fuck Prince Charming

You know how in some stories they present this situation in which, there is a girl, living her basic uneventful life and on a usual day, a guy comes when she at least expects it, but when, in fact, she needs him the most, and he changes everything in her life, turning it upside down, but in the best way possible, this guy being the best thing that could ever have happened to her, making everything in her life feel one hundred times better, and he sweeps her off her feet from the moment they meet and they end up helplessly falling in love for each other and they have a wonderful life together with a hundred kids and blah, blah, blah? You know the basics of the story, right? It is always the same, no matter the circumstances, either if he is the bad boy that has just moved in town and she is the good, nerdy girl that goes bad only for him, or he is her annoying boss and she his secretary and they make each other's life a living hell until they realize it's in fact love they feel or… come on. What is the purpose of me ranting about it? You have heard the same thing in different forms a thousand times before.

But let me tell you one thing. It is not always like that. Sometimes, when the guy that is only for you comes in your life he seems to be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. You just meet him one day and everything in your life goes south. Nothing is good when he is around. He comes and awakens things inside you that you didn't know existed until you met him and you don't know what is happening and how to handle that situation and he just makes you question your whole life before you met him. And you hate him for that and you just want to get away from him because you know he is no good for you and that you don't want all that in your life, that you want to go back to who you used to be before meeting him, to that simplicity, to that painless lie you were living, but he is still there, keeping you on the reality's ground, and the more you try to run away from it, from him, the more something gets you coming his way every single day. Until one day when you just realize that you have fallen for him in a way that hasn't happened before, not even with your so-called Prince Charming and that everything that has happened ever since you met him only brought the two of you closer and that he has seen the worst of you throughout the situations you have both been thorough, but he never judged you for that. And that even though you have seen the worst of him too, you don't want to leave anymore. And you realize that that is, in fact, true love. That he loves you, just as you love him, for who you are, without any conditions. You realize that he is, in fact, the one you needed all along, not that perfect lie, but the raw truth that made you face who you are and embrace it because he likes you for you and that he wouldn't change a thing about you.

All those books and movies we have watched and read telling us the same thing over and over again, making lots of little girls believe the same thing. That someday, the perfect guy will come and they will fall in love and it will all be easy and perfect, that everything will change for the better and it will all be beds and roses and their lives will be pink till the end. All just a big lie. Fuck Prince Charming. He is not the real deal. And I am not trying to crush anyone's dreams here. But still, let me tell how that story is not true at all. Let me tell you how real life works. In reality, when the guy you thought was perfect comes waltzing in your life, with his perfect smile and all that charm, that is the same moment when trouble gets in the equation too. At least this is what happened in my case, even though I had no idea at first. I was too blinded by all the good stuff he has shown me, by the way he made me feel special when, in fact, he didn't believe that at all. By all that fairytale he was promising me. And so, he just came in my life and made me think that I would get to live that fairytale that my father used to read to me before going to bed when I was a little girl and that everything would be great until the end of times. Well, newsflash. It didn't. Because later on, long after I met him, things went for the worst. And he wasn't the one who was there for me. He was the one making things bad in the first place. But that didn't matter anymore. Because I had someone else who stood by my side when I went through my worst. And it wasn't always nice. Because sometimes, when you fall in love with someone, it is the worst before it gets to be great. You have to get through so much it sometimes feels impossible to deal with. But at the end of the day, it is all worth it. It is not always easy. And that is good too. Because the fight for each other is what makes things worth it more in the end.

But let me tell you how my life was and about how it turned out to be after that so-called special encounter with that guy that I thought was my one and only back then. My dear, beloved complete douchebag, liar and deceiver ex-boyfriend that almost got me killed and dragged my ass into the biggest mess I have ever seen just so that he could get away unpunished for a shit he did.

And either you believe it or not, it all started with a shopping session with my best friend, about five months ago. Who would have thought that that day would lead to the disaster that has changed my life completely?

Soooo, guys, I am back with a new story! I am trying to have another approach, change things a little, and so, I wanted to construct another Rose, different from the one we all know so well, and to make her evolve somehow. Plus, I wanted to create some story with a little mystery in it, including spies and shit like that, and I hope that I will manage to get to the end of it, and I already have some ideas for the chapters that will follow, I just have to actually write them down, and if you get a little confused at first, don't you worry, it will all make sense later, I promise :)

But, I cannot promise you any regular posting, even though I will do my best to upload at least once a week

And besides that, I am looking for a beta, as I know that my last story had some slips and I want to work on that too. And as soon as I will find one willing to work with me, I will start the collab and upload some more

Until my next upload, lots of love!
