The moment that Jack stepped foot in the Pulitzer Palace he was instantly greeted by the king himself .

They shook hands and Jack prayed that his new wife looked nothing like her manly father ... many because knowing his mother ...

The king called down his daughter and a young lady stepped out , she had blonde hair and blue eyes with a smile on her face , she wore a soft green dress and walked to the king .

"Uncle , Katherine is ill... she said she'll make it to dinner but is ill"

"Alright then dear ... Jackson this is my niece Clara , Katherine's cousin ... Clara this is Jackson "

"Nice to meet you " she bowed .

"Likewise" he smirked with his sunglasses on and gum in his mouth . She rolled her eyes and walked back up the stairs to where she came from.

"So ?" Katherine asked as her cousin walked back in.

"He's charming , I'll give him that" she shook her head "he's exactly as the tabloids say... playboy"

"Oh lord ! " Katherine sighed and flopped on her bed . "How playboyish ?"

"He was wearing a leather jacket , with a nice dress shirt and slacks and had on ray band whilst chewing gum in front of your father " Clara told her .

"Oh my ! Lord give me mercy !" Katherine grabbed her cousins hand and placed it on her forehead "tell them I'm dying ... tell them I'm already dead"

"You're too dramatic ! " Clara laughed "he did have a handsome fellow with him... perhaps a cousin or such ..."

"Oh ! Why must my father hate me ?" Katherine slid down the bed and rolled face first on to the plush white carpet .

"Your so silly Kathy !" Clara sat on her knees and pulled her cousin's face up "you don't have to see him till dinner ... so be thankful "

"Kill me ! Take a blade and plunge it through my heart !" She rolled on her back .

"You call me theatrical !" Clara giggled .

Katherine stood up and grabbed a pencil "O happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die." She then pretend to plunge the pencil through her heart and "died " on the floor.

"Oh quit the sob story Juliet !" Clara kicked her foot "come on ! We need to get you dressed and such for dinner"

"Poison my food !"

"That's called treason " Clara reminded her as she pulled her to the bathroom to shower.

"I'll Pardon you !" Katherine mumbled.

"You'll be dead !" Clara shook her head .

With dinner served they waited for Katherine to come down, then she did.

Jack saw her and thanked the lord she wasn't as manly as her father.

She was girl next door pretty . Soft brown hair in curls that went to her mid-back and Hazel eyes . She had a smile on her face that was totally fake .

She had on black flats and a soft pink dress that went to her knees with black stockings underneath . It had a slight poof and she had on pearl earrings and necklace .

"Katherine... This is her majesty Medda" her father said .

Katherine bowed and they shook hands "and this is Jackson."

He put his hand out and she grabbed it , he bent down to kiss it but she was already shaking it . He stopped her hand and kissed with a smirk on his face and eyes glaring up.

She pulled her hand away and walked around the table to her seat next to her cousin who was shaking her head .

A small dinner conversation over the news and such then the meal was over . Medda insisted on Jackson escorting Katherine to her room.

They were walking up the stairs when finally she spoke "My cousin tells me you were wearing a leather jacket and chewing gum whilst meeting my father"

"She's correct" he said.

"Doesn't that seem a bit rude ? That he's going to be your father in law and you gave him no respect "

"I don't respect him ... he pushed for this marriage not me " he told her.

Katherine scoffed "your mother pushed just as much as my father ... you should be respect to him since he opens his home to you and is giving you his daughter and his kingdom !"

"Perhaps you and I should discuss how this nothing but a business transaction " he smirked .

"No it's so you start acting how a prince to be king should mister playboy !" She said when they reached her door .

"You don't know anything about me " he sneered at her as she took a step back.

"Nor do you about me " she pointed her finger.

He was backing her into her door and her finger was keeping them apart "I know that your childish and just want to be seen as sweet as pie" he said looking her up and down "pink with black stockings ... that something my cousin wore when she was 8... not 18"

Katherine gasped "you're trying to hard ! Leather jacket , ray bans and hitting on every creature that walks ! I saw you checking out all the maids at dinner -"

"There a lot to look at " he smirked .

She bite her tongue and clenched her hand in fist to keep from slapping him.

"New flash Prince Hair gel ... the second we get married if I find our commenting infidelity I'm getting out a guillotine!"

"Jealous type are we ?"

"No , it's just that if I'm stuck in this marriage so are you !" She then stepped into her room and slammed the door .
