Hello. Guess who's back? It's Marlee and who doesn't like Marlee? Seriously. Anyways, I've got a special treat for you all today. It's a sneak peek at the next chapter of My Dear! You can find that at the bottom.
Also, if you want more Maxerica, then Review/PM me saying "I want more Maxerica!" If we can get enough people to do this (Ten's the magic number), then maybe you'll get even more Maxerica in the next chapter of My Dear. Who know's? But, you have to tell me that you want it!

A Whole New World
"Once there was a girl that got swept up in a completion to win a prince's heart. As much as she'd thought that she loved this prince, her heart belonged to another – a guard. While not a prince, this guard was handsome and kind. He was everything that she had ever wanted in a partner. So, she risked her life for those sweet moments in the shadows where they were free to love each other. But one day, they were caught kissing each other and before they knew it, they were bound to wooden contraptions and caned for their crimes. Afterwards, they were to be deported to another province. However, the kind prince secretly hid them in the castle, giving them shelter, jobs, and most importantly, hope that not all was lost. Over time, they adjusted to their new lives. Rumor has it that they now live among us – walk the same streets on their way to work, live in the same apartment building, but that's just a myth," I lied. That girl was real and her name was Marlee Tames. That girl was me before I'd met the love of my life, Carter Woodwork.
Still, every week I tell these children that were born to the palace staff my story. They of course don't know that it was all real, so I didn't bother telling them it was. Maxon had already been generous enough to let us secretly stay at the palace and I couldn't risk blowing our covers.
I got up out of the chair and made my way out the door. Carter and I were expecting a visit from Maxon tonight. Apparently, he had something very important to discuss with us and I didn't want to be late. I rushed down the streets of Angeles drawing the attention of many, but I didn't care. Prince Maxon was coming to see my husband and I and even though he's my ex-boyfriend, we're still friends and I was looking forward to seeing him again.
It was around three in the morning, when I realized that Maxon wasn't going to show up. He was supposed to be here hours ago. Where was he? Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it," Carter asked suspiciously. "Aspen, Aspen Leger. Open up Woodwork." Seeing that it was only his friend, my spouse unlocked the door and opened it, only to find a nervous Officer Leger. "Carter, Marlee, something's happened and it's not good." I quickly rushed closed to him. "What is it Aspen," I asked. "It's Maxon and America. They've had to flee Angeles because a stupid rebel army is making its way towards the palace and it's not safe for them to be here!"
Oh no! "Carter, what about us? What are we going to do? No one's going to keep us safe when the rebels attack," I cried. "We'll be okay. What about your cousin, George? Isn't he a guard? Maybe he can help us escape. Everything's going to fine, my dear." A flood of memories from my time with Maxon came rushing back to me. "Don't ever call me that ever again. Maxon used to call me that." The apologetic look in his eyes told me that he was truly sorry. "Forgive me Marlee. I just want you to know that no matter what, we'll get through this together because I love you." And with that, we kissed each other like we might never kiss each other again.
Did anyone else miss Marlee? Now, for the real reason you skipped to the bottom first. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a little sneak peek of My Dear Chapter 5!
"The look on Celeste's face made me want to scream. She looked as if she were ready to sever someone's neck and if George hadn't chosen that moment to come inside of her hotel room, I'd probably be dead right now. A loud scream escaped my lips, as Celeste swung her fist to punch me square in the jaw. Thankfully, George deflected it just in time, not even breaking a sweat."
Did you like it? Are you excited for the next chapter now?
Don't forget to tell me, "I want more Maxerica!" That is if you want more Maxerica. Otherwise, I'm assuming you're Asperica.
As always, thank you to my lovely readers.
Until next time...
