▪▪Sarah’s POV▪▪
“you’re back Sarah, come and join us,” dad said while i smiled then walked up to them and sat down beside Tony.
“i will help you with that,” Mom Mabel said as she helped me fetched some food on my plate.
“thanks! i mutter as i glance at Starr who wasn’t saying anything.
“are you okay Starr? i asked while she nodded.
“oh Sarah! she smiled.
“aren’t you enjoying the meal? dad asked her while she smiled.
“of course i am, sorry i was just lost in my thought,” she said while i sighed.
“what are you thinking again…uhmm let me guess! Tony said while i rolled my eyes.
“it nothing serious! Starr interrupted.
“what could be bothering you? Mom Mabel asked her.
“oh.. please let enjoy dinner for now,” she smiled.
“we are now family and i hope you’re also getting alone with your sister and also Tony.. right? dad asked while i nodded.
“yes am happy to have Sarah back even thou i lost Laura. I don’t know why am still feeling guilty for all that happen to her and her family. Her father was killed because of me,” she said sadly.
“you should stop blaming yourself. The police are still investigating on who killed Arnold,” dad said.
“what if they never get to find that person just the way mom said who one knows who wanted to killed me on my tenth birthday, it been long and yet no evidence or suspect was found isn’t that scary,”
Starr said while i felt so guilty and at the same time so sad knowing that it my mom. My mom is responsible for all these, i felt so cheated and so unlucky. Am always a second option in everything and it all started with my mom. I quietly stood up and was about to leave.
“you haven’t touch your food and you’re leaving already? grandma asked while i nodded with a smile.
“am okay dad, am not really hungry,” i said and was about to leave when Tony held me back- holding my wrist.
“hey.. not yet okay! you don’t even look happy,” he said while i sighed.
“am just tired,” i said then free my wrist from his grip and walked to my room. I still can’t believe what Greg told me.
He loves Starr- what am i going to do now. I sat down on my chair as i stare at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were getting so teary. I love Greg but what else am i going to do. Starr always have everything, she’s everyone’s favorite and i guess i also deserves to be happy. I love Greg and i won’t allow anyone to take him away from me not even Princess!
▪▪Starr’s POV▪▪
After dinner i and sat down with Tony at the sitting room as he told me a lot about my family.
“maybe if you haven’t went missing i wouldn’t have been here,” he said.
“yes, everyone disappointment is a blessing, am glad you were able to fill the space i left,” i smiled.
“who could have thought the Princess we’ve been looking for was in our midst. Am glad mom and dad found you but it really took us so long,”
“i miss all of you and i wish i was with my family but i still didn’t regret being in Mr. Arnold family, he was a great man and i wish he’s still alive,” i said sadly while Tony held my hand.
“you don’t have to re-visit the past again. You’re with your family now so feel free here,” he said
“but Tony, do you think Sarah like me here? i asked while he arched an eyebrow.
“of course she does, i guess you still don’t know how much she loved you and have always wished to see you. I wish you guys will be close again just the way mom use to tell me,” he smiled.
“so what about Kendrick, you told me he left without even telling you,” he said while i sighed. I don’t even want to remember Kendrick because it bringing back sad memories. I loved him but he broke my heart.
“yes Tony. That was all in the past. I have decide to let go of everything that happen in the past. I guess Kendrick was never meant for me after all! so it better i just moved on,” i said sadly.
“maybe it better you hear from his own side of story whenever he returns,” he said.
“it not all about that Tony am still mad at him for leaving without even telling me. I choose to forgive Kendrick despite what he did but yet he choose to let his anger get the best of him, he left without even saying goodbye, he didn’t even care how i will feel about that, he just left without a word, not even a single word,”
i said trying to hold back my tears, thinking about this always make me shed tears that’s why i just want to forget about Kendrick but it obvious i can’t because he has been part of me for a very long time.
“i know that hurts a lot and am sorry about this. Maybe you should just try to let go of every pain and moved on. We all want you to be happy, we want that cheerful Princess back,” he said while i smiled.
“thank you Tony,” i smiled.

▪▪Greg’s POV▪▪
Maybe i shouldn’t have tell Sarah that but maybe with this she can just give up on me and let me be, i know how much it hurts but i hope she would just try to move on. But the fact is that i love Starr, i do love her so much but she’s already in love with Kendrick this love might just be impossible! and i might end up getting hurt.
✨ The next day in the evening Starr came to our house to see my parents and i officially introduce her as Princess. Am glad she accepted my request to have dinner with my parents with the approval of her dad, Sir Edward.
“i thought as much too, Princess must be alive somewhere, am glad you’re back to us,” mom said while i smiled.
“Mabel must be so happy about this. She was totally broken and am glad your dad always stood by her till this time,” dad said while Starr nodded.
“am glad to have them as my parents, i feel so lucky you know,” Starr said with a smiled.
“all thanks to you too Greg, thank you for helping me out,” she said.
“yea that’s my son for you, he’s so sweet and i guess you guys will make a perfect couple,” mom said.
“mom.. don’t be too silly you know,” i said while Starr smiled.
… After dinner, i and Starr walked out and i glance at my wrist watch.
“your parents seems so nice,” she smiled
“yea
“i guess that’s where you took that from,” she smiled
“maybe,” i shrugged.
“but the first impression i once had about you, i thought you were grumpy, rude and so… before she could finish saying whatever she wants to say i playfully pinch her nose.
“hey don’t say bad things about me.. i still remember how we first meet and i thought you were so stubborn then,” i said while she hit on my shoulder.
“ouch! that hurts you know,”
“that serves you right… maybe next time you won’t call me names,” she rolled her eyes while i laughed.
“but you started it first…
“Well am only stating out the facts,” she said.
“and am only telling the truth too,” i said then nudge her gently.
“just get into the car am taking you somewhere,” i said while she looked at me.
“i think it better if you take me home. Mom might be worried,” she said.
“calm down Princess…
“and since when have you start calling me Princess? she asked making me to smiled.
“since the day we found out about your real identity. Princess suit you more or perhaps my Princess,” i said while she rolled her eyes.
“you can be so silly you know,” she said then sat down in the car while i closed the door, then went to the driver seat.
“so where are you taking me too?
“somewhere you would like,” i smiled.
▪▪Starr’s POV▪▪
I smiled when we arrive to a quiet place, i get out of the car and stare at the place, the yellow lights brighten the outside as people chatter. The distance has a fireplace with couples who sits around. The other side of the park sits a guitarist who plays low and melodious music as he strums his guitar.
“i like it here,” i smiled.
“yea, it peaceful and free from all shits,” Greg said.
“i will just get something,” he said then walked to the sto-re nearby. I look around the park and smile at the guitarist. He concentrates on every string that he strums and sing along. About four couples sit close to the singer as most people drop their dollar bills on his bowl. Removing a note from my back pocket, I walk to the guitarist and drop the bill. I smile as i look around and my eyes meet with Greg, he was coming out from the sto-re.
“have this,” he stretch a paper bag at me.
“we’ve just eaten remember?
“it just some snacks,” he said.
“thanks,”
“and one more thing-you look so beautiful tonight,” he said then moved my hair backwards making me to shiver….
▪▪Sarah’s POV▪▪
I can’t believe Starr is with Greg now. Dad just allow her to have dinner with his parents, i know Greg was using all that excuses to be close her but hell no i won’t agree to that. I stood at the balcony then dialed his number and smiled.
“hi,” i said into the phone
“and who is this? a masculine voice came in.
“don’t you think it better you come back for Starr, that’s the only way i have Greg to myself,”
“and who am i speaking with? he asked.
“you don’t have to know that Kendrick! i yelled. I have my own ways to do things.
“i want us to play this safe because i don’t want to hurt Starr it better you come back,”
“its just too early for this and beside i have important things to do over here,” he yelled back and before i could say any other thing he cut off the call.
“Ken… i yelled and tried calling him again but this time his line was off. I sighed thinking about my next plan….?
