I liked the alternate ending! It made me smile.

Errr... He is the prince of her OWN country?
And she doesn't know him? And she doesn't know what kind of political System she's living in?
Sorry, but the character design is somewhat sloppy. I do understand that she was troubled as a teen, but at that time she would already have learned about her country. Had she no TV, never read the newspaper?
If she's from a different country far away, on a different country, I would understand, but even if she was from a neighbouring country, she wouldknow who he is. Please do better research for the character to make her circumstances more realistic.

The knee-jerk reaction to the revelation that he's a prince was otherwise okay.

I know I should feel sorry for her... But honestly... First of all, you don't give enough of a background of her and her family situation that as a reader I can unterstand just WHY she wasn't able to tell her parents that she is pregnant. And at 4 months, you don't swell up like a ballon, so no, it is not obvious to her parents. The parents raised her to that point, and they simply gave up on her? No parents worth their name will do that. So you need to add a bit more beef and depth to that part of your story. What is the real reason her relationship with her parents is so kaput? Is it her teenage narrowmindedness that makes her blind for anything except herself?
In addition, the doctors would have had to tell them that she was pregnant after the accident. And how did she kick her drug habits?
Finally, on the monarchy thingy, if she's doing her paper on it, wouldn't she already have some prior do some check-up on information? The tabloids are full of stories of nobility. The internet is your friend. She would have to be very blind and ignorant not to have run into an image of Andrew before. Unless his country is a teeny weeny one that no one even knows by name... In which case it would surprise me that her 'stalker' knows the man.

Keep an eye on your tenses. They are all messed up. Proper grammar does pay off. :-)

AGHHH I was getting so worried at the end! I thought he was getting married to someone else!

You made me cry... :'( this chapter... i thought they were going to be married. :(

Now really, you depressed me! I am only reading this now because I got caught up in that story you are currently writing called lethal trap, if it should by any chance have an ending as crappy as this one I promise I will hunt you out and make you re write the whole thing ( on another note, this story was quite good once you are able to get over the ending)

Why did you have to end it there? Okay, I get it, he was the Crown Prince, but come on! You make us readers think that he will propose, now that his sister accepted to take the throne (though the line of succession doesn't go like that, PM me if you want to know) we get all excited about the proposal and then... Rachel says no. I mean you are, and I'm really sorry to say this because I really like your stories, a big buzz kill.
I am begging you, literally falling on my knees, can you write an alternate ending? It would be trully awesome if you would!

I can't help it but I really hate you

i liked the story but the ending for me sucked. because if the really loved each other then they r going to be miserable thir whole lives. and thats not fair.

This was a beautiful story. Words cannot express the true emotion with which you narrated the tale of a prince and a commoner. You made us feel the bitterness of Rachel in the beginning; the love that Andrew felt for her; the heart-wrenching feeling when they separated. I don't know what else to say. I truly am speechless after reading this story. You really are a gifted writer! Best wishes for any future pursuits, and thank you for providing me with the opportunity of reading such a wonderful piece.

Nice story! Ohh..it was quite sad. I wish Rachel had got married to the prince I mean why would the prince get married to Samantha when he was in love with Rachel? Anyways all stories shouldn't end the same or else they'd be no fun.

Happy endings are boring.

Loved it!

You are just FANTASTIC! You added like six chapters in one day! Awesome;)

Awesome...please update it soon!*puppy dog eyes*
