"Don't get me wrong" the hybrid king said looking at the human king, his eyes blue eyes piercing the human king's green ones, it was like he was begging for the king to object, but he knew that he couldn't it was his people's life on the line "but this is just a mere game of thrones" "The child is not even born yet, and we do not know if it's a boy or God forbid, a girl" the human king glared at the hybrid who was making a bargain with him over his own child. "I did not say that it had to be this child King Leonardo" the hybrid king smiled his eyes genuine as he looked at king Leonardo. "And yet, you are forcing me to make a bargain over my own child King Niklaus" King Leonardo snapped. "I am not forcing you King Leonardo, I am merely giving you the option, should I marry your child, then your kingdom is safe, and should you object, then you are forced to accept us on your realm, with your people, until of course our creatures manage to overthrow all of you" the look on King Leonardo's face told King Niklaus that he had already gotten what he wanted, which was all he needed to hear right now. "Should my daughter be born, and come to age, she will marry you" King Leonardo said in defeat, the hybrid smiled and nodded at King Leonardo. "Pleasure doing business with you King Leonardo"

Chapter 1 Prologue

It's been years since anyone has seen or heard of the hybrid king that they began to believe that he had lost hope in the girl being born.

King Leonardo and his wife, Queen Annalise had made sure to be careful about who entered the palace and who didn't, making sure to hide their daughter from all eyes, in fear that the hybrid might hear of her being born.

The beautiful princess grew as years went by, and she grew more curious with every passing day, she wanted to learn what was beyond these palace walls, why she was never allowed to go out to the palace garden unescorted when it was simply their home, but of course she got no answer, no one would even look at her to explain what was going on, why they were hiding her, and what they were hiding her from, not that she expected them to anyway, she was far used to being ignored by her family by now.

"One day, I will learn what is beyond these walls, and when that day comes, no one is going to stop me" the eighteen-year-old said looking out the window, her eyes looking at the city lights which shone from her window.

"How about I be the one to show you?" A familiar deep male's voice asked her, his voice making goosebumps rise all over her body, she had only heard his voice in her dreams, she often thought that she was imagining it, maybe she was, as whenever she looked back to find out where the sound came from, there was no one in her chamber, but her veranda's door was always open after it happened.

This time however she found a note on her bed, she frowned in confusion as she looked around the room wanting to know where the note had come from, her maids were out the door and no one had knocked the door or entered, which only seemed to worry her more.

Putting the note under the pillow and walking to the door, she knocked it twice, her maid, Emily, opened the door, her eyes looking at the princess with worry as she was awake at this time in the first place, but the princess couldn't bring herself to sleep.

"Emily, has anyone entered my chamber?" The princess asked slowly, the maid frowned, her brown eyes scanning the room as she looked at the princess shaking her head.

"No Princess Kiara, is everything alright?" Emily asked.

"Everything is fine, I just thought I heard something" Princess Kiara said quickly, Emily nodded looking at the veranda door which was wide open letting a breeze enter the chamber, it cooled the chamber ever so slightly, but the princess didn't mind.

Emily entered the chamber and Princess Kiara quickly looked at her bed to check that the note was properly hidden before looking at Emily who was closing the door of the veranda, then the blinds not allowing the moonlight to illuminate the chamber.

"Get some rest princess, it is already late" Emily said and Princess Kiara nodded not saying a word as she watched Emily walk out of her chamber before she rushed toward her bed and turned on a little nightlight to read what was written on the small note.

She looked at the handwriting and smiled admiring the small cursive letters, carefully written making her smile at the beautiful handwriting.

-Soon love, I will be the one to make you explore the world, just a little more patience.

She read the note over and over again, checking if it were signed, but it wasn't, whoever had sent it meant for his identity to remain a secret, nonetheless the princess smiled and nodded walking toward the fireplace and throwing the note in the fire watching as it burned, it was better this way, at least she wouldn't be worrying about getting caught by anyone about the subject.

"I will be waiting for you, whoever you are" the princess promised looking at the fireplace not knowing that she was being watched from the small crack of her veranda's door.

"I will be counting on that love"

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
