- Kira -"It's all your fault that this has happened to me," I cried."No it's not," she lamented. "Your father is the one who abandoned you... he abandoned us.""Then you?" I shot at her. "Are you any better? You also abandoned me for a faraway land to get a better life for yourself while you left me here to suffer as a maid. You did not even know what was happening in my life. You left me for so many years.""Kira I was doing all of these for us. I did not realize my relatives would let you serve as a maid. Did you think I would have allowed that after being a maid almost all my life too? It broke me when I found out, Kira. It broke me so much that I decided to come so I can help you improve.""Maybe you shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place," I shook my head as tears fell freely from my eyes. "But your selfish desire and lust pushed you into throwing yourself at the Alpha. Maybe you should have used that money he gave you and gotten rid of me. You should just abort me
- Giselle -Early in the morning, I stepped out of the room and began to stroll around the palace, the recent happenings replaying in my head.I was still trying to wrap my head around it. Now that we have all found out about Dad's affair with Kira's mother and it has been proven that she is indeed, his daughter, what next?I could not tell and felt in a fix. Father would want to mend his mistakes and take Kira back... Or not? I could not tell. It still doesn't change the fact that she is his child.I kept on walking and walking without realizing where I was headed to till I found myself in a room that looked like a museum.It looked like a secret room Except that it was not locked and out of bounds. But how did I get to this place? I should leave, I told myself but my legs were not willing to.Instead, I kept walking deep into the room, looking at the diagrams in the room till a particular diagram struck me as familiar. I shook my head. This should have nothing to do with me. It seem
- Giselle -I looked back at the diagrams on the wall and turned to Franklin."I need an explanation of what is going on here or am I just the one who has lost her mind?" I said and he sighed."I've always known you, Giselle, and I know about your previous life," he said and I looked confused."What do you mean?" I asked, moving away and when he offered to help, I held out my hand to indicate I was fine and did not need his help."I know about your past life, I know what happened between you and Xavier in your previous life. Kira was a princess and you, her maid. Xavier took advantage of you and went ahead to get married to Kira. Then you got pregnant and he denied it. You told me and demanded a test. In a bit to hide his acts, he got Kira to lure you into your death. Xavier killed you and the goddess heard your cry. She gave you another life and back in time, where you are now the princess.""You...you knew all about this?" I was genuinely surprised."Yes I did," he nodded in affirma
- Cleopatra -Very funny how things turned out all of a sudden. So the maid girl was not a maid after all. King Marcus had an affair with her mother who was also a maid too. And to think I thought highly of Christine not knowing she was just like her daughter. Seems like slavery runs down this family except Christine was wise enough to sow a seed into the royal house.Maybe that was the reason I liked her in the first place because she is smart and ambitious. Now there was no doubt. King Marcus might want you to take Kira in despite that he did not care about her when she was given birth to and sent her mother away.He would want to right his wrongs. That would be good for Kira because at least, that is an upgrade from her life being a maid.But now I need to confirm if sentiments are grown and if Kira will want to protect Giselle, who is now her sister.She had better not, because she knows too much to back out of everything now.I stood by her door, waiting for her to open. She look
- Kira -Cleopatra walked back towards me slowly."How did you know?" She asked like a detective investigating a serious case and had just found out something important from a suspect."Well, I overheard her and Franklin discussing about it. They discussed a whole lot of things that I can't really grasp. But from everything they said, I think Giselle was reborn as Odessa," I told her."Giselle told Franklin that?" She asked and I shook my head."No, it was Franklin who was explaining everything to her," I said and she looked away in deep thoughts then turned back to me."Are you trying to say that Giselle does not know that she was reborn as Odessa," she asked again for clarity."Seems like it," I shrugged. "I am not really sure about all of these but that was what I heard."I had to add that last piece because she was questioning me like I had first-hand information about everything when I didn't."If she is really Odessa, does that mean she is not my sister then?" I wondered aloud,
- Giselle -Long hours passed and I knew I couldn't continue to hide away from them. I have to live up to what has become reality. Giselle or Odessa, Kira's sister or not, I have to embrace it."I think I know what I need to do," I said out of nowhere and Franklin looked up at me with interest in his eyes."Okay?""I need to embrace Kira as my sister and let her have the relationship she deserves now with my father. I know it's late but not too late if we can help it and we should because we know the truth now.""Well...," he sighed. "You're right, I guess."Then he went silent again and I did not speak any further. However, there was one more thing I was leaving out. Yes, if I had a trace of Odessa that is fine. After all, I am still living her life as Luna and Franklin's sweetheart. But Xavier?That I can never forgive nor forget. The way he lured me into his arms, deceived me and took my innocence, I could never get over it.Maybe I would have if he stopped there. But killing me an
- Kira -Emotions welled up inside me and I struggled to keep them in. No, I cannot let them see me like this after what they have always seen me as, what they have made me. And I will not let my emotions betray me now that I have to put them in their place and show them how I really feel.They both walked fully into the room and faced me. I held their faces with a strong expression on mine."Kira I don't need to go over everything all over again because we all know what's happened. I was shocked as much as everyone else to find out that you are my father's daughter and, consequently, my sister. Which means that you are a royal blood but have been treated less. You were even a maid, serving when you should be served. I don't think there is any amount of apology that would take back everything. But I need you to know that my father," she paused, took a deep breath then continued. "I need you to know that our father is sorry for everything and he is filled with regret for abandoning you
- Kira -When they walked out, I turned to look at Mother and saw a funny expression on her face."What's that look on your face?" I asked with a raised brow and she smiled it away."I mean, I was just fascinated about the scene I just witnessed," she said."Oh really? Tell me about it," I said with feigned ignorance."Isn't it amazing seeing you get back with your father and how easily you forgave him?" She commented and I could not believe her."You know what? I shouldn't be surprised, knowing fully well your plan was to separate me from him forever," I shot at her, and she frowned."Hey! I did not say anything wrong here. I was just commenting about your little reunion. Nothing harmful."Then her face fell and I stopped."What again?" I asked. She did not answer, looking in a direction so I followed her eyes and turned back to the door to see Cleopatra.How does she always manage to creep up unnoticed?"So there's a little reunion," she said casually and sipped the drink she came i
- Marcus -I took a deep breath and closed the door after Christine walked in. I turned to look at her, waiting for her to say something but she remained quiet."Well?" I had to push."Well uh..." She started, entwining her fingers together like a teenager. "It's been a long while, Marcus.""It is," I agreed while I watched to explain why she came here."I know it's been years but I didn't realize a day like this would come where we would be together again. I've missed you greatly and I am very glad to have you and Kira together as a family.""Yeah," I nodded uncertainly. "It is great to be reunited with my daughter.'"I mean, who would have thought you'd want her?""What are you saying?" I frowned with disapproval. "Why wouldn't I want my child? You were the one who insisted you couldn't stay with Meredith and left with my child. You went to the point of getting her out of my reach. I have always wanted my child.""You are making it look like my fault," she said tearfully. "I was jus
- King Marcus -The party went down well and I for the very first time, I sat together with Kira on the royal table. Christine was snuggling in and sat on the next sit, leaving no room for Giselle who did not drag the seat with her.Usually, Giselle would always seat beside me since there was no Luna to take that place but today, Kira and her mother had it to themselves.Kira did not look very comfortable so I allowed the presence of her mother close to her, hoping it would keep her calm which seeemed to help.Cleopatra and Xavier also came to the party. I did not have a say about that though, I mean, I couldn't have asked that they did not come.But this was a family reunion and I would have loved it with just my daughters and Alpha Franklin who is legally my in-law and because he also helped me prepare the party.There was something about Franklin's sister and son that did not settle with me but because I could not tell what it was, I had no right to think otherwise. I had to only t
- King Marcus -I ordered a costly dress for Kira and this would be one of the few things I will do for her starting from this celebration party now that I know she is my child."Thank you so much for hosting this event for me," I told Franklin and he nodded."It's no bother," he said. "You have always hosted me and my visitors as well so it's no bother. Besides, whatever I do for you is just like I am doing for Giselle so that's fine.""This means a lot to me," I said. "I wasn't prepared though because I did not expect to have two lovely daughters, all grown up and amazing. I think myself the lucky one.""I am happy for you."I wasn't sure about what life would be like now but the most important thing is Kira has forgiven me and I can have rights over her now. Right to love and have a relationship.I thought about my late wife, Giselle's mother, and wondered what it would be like if she were here today. Would I have been happily rejoicing upon meeting Kira and taking her in?I could
