Starr’s POV
I couldn’t believe what Laura told me, i guess she’s right, am just a bad luck, am not even lucky for once in my life. I went back home and cried out my eyes. Now am all alone without father nor mother or even sister. Not even a friend again, my whole life is so messed up and that’s when i begin to question my existence. Why am i even alive. I should have died when Arnold found me in the river, i should have died when Kate stabbed me, that will be much better than living a lonely life without a true family. I went to my room and picked up my necklace.

“Bryan,” i called trying to sound cheerful.
“hey Starr, long time,” he said from the other line.
“yes Bryan, how have you been?
“perfectly fine Starr!
“Bryan.. please did you happen to know where Kendrick is? i asked nervously.
“what! didn’t he tell you. Kendrick travel to New York this morning with his dad also his uncle, there’s a good job waiting for him there… i know by the time Kendrick will come he’ll be a different man, am so happy for him,” Bryan chuckle while i smiled as more tears flowed down my cheeks. New York! Kendrick just left without telling me, he left me behind!
“thank you Bryan,” i said then hanged up. I called Nica but her line wasn’t going throu-ghi called Kendrick again and it still the same thing.
why will he leave without telling me? is he that angry with me. I sat down there and cried more. I thought Laura is the worse person not knowing another pain is waiting for me here. Why will Kendrick just leave forgetting what we shared. Why will he leave when i need you him the most… i love him and i was ready to fight for that love, i was ready to stick to him no matter that’s why i forgave him. I stood up then wipe my tears.
“i wish you happiness wherever you are Kendrick but i hope it won’t take you too long before you’ll come because it might be too late for you, for us and for our Damn Love!
▪▪▪I was at the club getting myself so drunk, this something i never did but i don’t just want to go back home… dad is no more and Laura just left, she just left me like that. Kendrick also left knowing fully well how much i love him and want to set things right between us. what the essence of going back home- it will only remind of my pains and how lonely i am. I quickly called Greg and plead with him to come over here. He’s the only one i can turn to in this condition.
▪▪▪Kate’s POV▪▪
I silently sent two of my guys to burn down the house, yes the house Starr is living in. I know she must be asleep by now because it 9pm and i know she don’t stay late outside. I ask them to burn down everything, cos this the only way to rid of her. This time around her parents will never get to know her.
“mission accomplished ma’am,” i received a call from one of my men while i laughed. I can’t for tomorrow to see Starr’s dead body. She will be badly burnt that no one will recognize her. I have make Arnold paid for what he did to me and now is your time Starr… burn in hell,” i laughed feeling satisfied. Everything seems to fall in place for my good.
▪▪Greg’s POV▪▪▪
I wonder what Starr will be doing at the club this night but i hurriedly went to check her there. She hardly go to places like this, i guess she just need someone to talk to. I arrived at the club and sighted her with some guys- where they heck are they taking her to!
“Starr! i called then hurried to them, she looks so drunk.
“hey! where are you taking her to? i asked them
“you don’t even know her? who are you to stop us!” the other one said dragging Starr with him while i punched him and we got into a fight.
“don’t you ever try to touch her again or else i will call the cops,” i yelled at them.
“let go…,” the first guy said, he glare at me before leaving while i sighed.
“what on earth are you doing here Starr? i asked.
“i just want to forget everything..” she mumbled while i quickly carry her in arms then take her to the car outside.
I drove off with speed and took her to my mansion.
“you don’t have to this to yourself Starr,” i said then carry her to my room but she throw up on my body making me wanna puke.
I gently keep her on my bed then called one of my maid.
“clean her up,” i said to the maid while she nodded. I stare at Starr and wonder what might be bothering her, she’s already fast asleep. I turn to leave but stopped when i heard her muttering something.
“pl…ease Kendrick..stay with me,” she said with her eyes closed. Somehow i felt so jealous and i quickly went to freshen up.
▪▪Sarah’s POV▪▪
That same night i was still in my room as i read Starr’s diary. I couldn’t help but to cry. Starr is the missing daughter, she’s my sister the one who denote her kidney for me. I fli-p to other pages and found her picture when she was a kid. I guess it a picture of her, Kendrick and Laura. And this also the same Princess when she was young.
>> I read as more tears flowed down my cheeks. That explains why her name is Starr.
I guess it the same necklace her mom gave to her during her tenth birthday and the necklace has a pendant which was inscribe:*STARR*?
She was so close to us yet no knows but why was Laura lying to us. I never liked Starr but now that she turn out to be my sister what will be my fate? what about Greg? will i still allow her to have him?? I don’t feel so happy about this. What a twist of fate. why will my fate have to turn out this way…
The next morning… ✨
▪▪Starr’s POV▪▪
I slightly open my eyes then close it due to the light reflecting from the window. I open it again and i stare at the ceiling, this can’t actually be the ceiling of my room, i open eyes slowly and stare at the room, it so huge and beautiful and i was lying on the extra-large bed. I quickly jumped up from the bed and remembered what happen
yesterday. oh no… Laura left me and Kendrick too, so i went to the club. What! could it be a man that brou-ght me here. I was surprise to see a different cloth on me, i was wearing pajamas and i wonder how it get to my body. How did it even happen? i shouldn’t have go to the club.
The door went open and i surprise to see Greg, he walked in and stare at me, he was shirtless and i stare back at him for sometime not knowing what to say.
“uhmm…
“i brou-ght you here last night! you were so drunk,” he said.
“and this? i asked referring to the pajamas i was wearing.
“it looks good on you, it’s mine and i ask the maid to put it on for you. Nothing bad happen you just happen to throw up and i guess it isn’t right to let you sleep that way,” he said while i nodded.
“thanks,” i muttered as i stare at the floor. I guess it better i go back home.
“breakfast is ready,” he said.
“oh no! thanks but i have to go now,” i said.
“why are you in a haste? he asked then moved closer to me.
“you wear this today? he asked referring to the necklace on my neck. Not again!
“yes,” i said and was about to leave when i my eyes caught something on his table. It a picture of me, of myself. What am i doing here and who are those? i asked him.
“this me, Sarah and Princess but as i told you Princess is back to us,” he said while i stare at the picture again.
“why am i in this picture? i asked confused.
“you mean this you? he asked.
“yes… it just so confusing,” i said trying to recall something but nothing came.
“tell me the truth Starr where did you get this necklace from? he asked nudging me gently.
“just tell me the truth, please,” he added.
“this the only thing from my past. I was adopted, am the adopted one and not Laura and this was the only thing Arnold found on me when he saw me. I lost my memory and then i have been so eager to know who i am or where i came from? i said trying to hold back my tears. I raise the top i was wearing then showed him the scar on my tommy.
“this the scar i got from gunshot. Mr. Arnold told me i was shot when he found me and this never go away, same thing with the scar from the stabbed. Mrs. Kate stabbed me because she never liked me and this one i don’t from where it came from,” i explained it to him while he looked so shocked.
“that’s just my story and now that everyone have leave me, i felt so lonely and so unlucky for being thrown out like piece of trash in a river. Now that you know my story i hope you keep it a secret,” i said tearfully and was about to leave but he stopped me. He quickly open drawer then brou-ght out a little album.
“cheek this pictures,” he said while i stare at him then back at the album, i collect it and keep looking at the picture. Why am i in here, i open the next page then saw a picture of me with two couple’s and also the same necklace i have, was on my neck.
“this picture was took during Princess’s tenth birthday,” he said while i kept mute as i stare at the pictures. I could see some images in my brain and also some voices.

*somebody help!!! please stay alive for me me Princess…>>?
I saw myself in a pool of blood when i was shoot during my birthday and was taken away. I felt my head aching so badly, i wanted to fall but i guess Greg caught me right on time.
“are you okay Starr? he asked while i nodded, my eyes were closed so tight as i keep seeing images, i don’t know if this is an imagination, hallucination or memories. Greg and Sarah were the two good friends i had. I slowly open my eyes and found Greg staring at me closely. A tears escape my eyes and i fully open it and look at the pictures again.
“i think i know something about my past… with those pictures,” i muttered then wipe away my tears.
“am Princess..? i asked with my eyes wide open
“oh my God! you’re…. you’re Princess.. you’re the one we’ve been searching for all our life,” Greg smiled then pulled me into a hug.
“it took us so long to find you…,” he said while i disengaged from the hug trying to figure what what he’s saying…
“you’re Princess,” he whisper again while i stare at him- i was surprise when he ki-ssed me…
Sarah’s POV?
I woke up that morning without talking to anyone not even grandma nor dad, i guess i need to tell Greg about this, he suppose to know about this first. So Laura was fooling us all this while.
I arrived at his mansion and hurriedly went to check him in his room, the door was slightly open already and i was shocked by what i saw- Starr and Greg ki-ssing…. I stood in tears as i watch them ki-ssed. At least Starr will soon be back to us- her family but having Greg to herself is something i would never allow….?
