"There he goes!! The next KING!! OUR PRINCE!!"

Those words kept on revolving her head. She felt weak in her knees and sat on the couch nearby.

"No!! He has nothing to do with this!!" Sarah spoke sternly to her father.

"What do you mean principessa??" Her dad asked softly looking confused. How much she missed this word!!

"I don't want him to get into this. I want him to have a normal life." Sarah spoke as mother in her was not going to give up.

"But he was born an Elite. He can't be normal." Nikolai spoke. Sarah knew that was true. But she can't push her son's life into danger.

"I know. But I can't let my son to live a life where his life is in constant danger. I can't let that happen!!" Sarah broke into tears.

Everyone reached her and tried to comfort her. This is the first ever expression they showed after years. Concern.

"Do you remember when I hid you from this world just like you are doing right now so that I can keep you safe??" Her dad asked and Sarah nodded.

"I even didn't want you to involve in this, but you were the one who chose this life back then. Didn't you??" Sarah nodded as what her Dad said was completely true. But she never regretted choosing this life, choosing...Alex. Alex is the best thing happened to her irrespective of what he thought of her.

"You made your choice. Let him make his choice. Don't let yourself regret for hiding him from his own family when he finds out just like I was regretting till date." Sarah took in her father's words which sounded reasonable for her.

She can't hide this from Ric much longer even if she wanted. His face was enough for him to recognize his father when he grows. She couldn't see the look in her son's eyes when he comes to know about his family.

"Fine!!" She sighed and everyone looked relived. "But he will be the one who will be making the choice. No one is going to force him" Sarah said and everyone nodded in approval.

"As you say!!" Her dad ruffled her hair and noticed her features. "You changed a lot!!" Padre said look at her daughter's completely changed face.

Sarah gently took her son from her father and made him stand in front of her. "Baby!? Do you want to see some magic??" She asked her son and he nodded in response.

Sarah removed her contacts looking at her son to read his expression. But he seemed unfazed. She then slowly removed the stickers that held her face in a V shape and soon her face changed back to normal.

Still Ric seemed normal not reacting anything. Sarah slowly removed her wig letting her long hair fall freely. Ric and everyone seemed amused at her.

"Mamma you look sooo pwweetty!!" Ric said hugging her and smiling. Sarah was more than happy that her son reacted this way.

"Mamma good in long hair, no showtt hair" Ric exclaimed which remained her instance with Alex.

Flashback

After a long time, Sarah just went out for shopping and saw a salon. So she went inside wanting a hair treatment and a cut. She called Alex to inform him that she is going to be late. He picked up after 4th ring.

"Hey!!" Sarah said sounding excited.

"Hello my love!!" He spoke with the same excitement as her.

"So I was wondering I would be late as I just came to a salon to get a hair treatment and then get a haircut." She spoke and the other line went silent. She felt weird but she let it go and relaxed herself as her hair was getting treated.

Soon Alex barged into the saloon looking around and when his eyes met hers he immediately stormed towards her.

"Did you cut your hair!?" He asked looking furious.

"No!! I just got it treated. I was about to-" she was cut off by him.

"You are not going to cut your hair." He said as if it was final.

"What?? Why??" she asked confused.

"Because I said so" with that he dragged her out of the salon into his car. He got in next to her and the driver started the car. Alex pressed the button and screen appeared which separates the driver and them.

"Why don't you want me to cut my hair?? It's so long and takes a lot of time brushing and all" Sarah whined like a kid holding her long hair which reaches her butt.

"Because I love the way your hair touches those curves of your body when I thrust into you and you moan my name." Alex whispered right behind her ear which turned her on.

His words were enough for her to get turned on let alone his touch. Soon she straddled him and kissing him with all the passion.

Present

Her son was no doubt just like his father. She always knew Alex was dominant between them. But she never realised that he was so dominant that even the son she carried in her for 9 months was just like him.

Now when she recall them, She realized that Ric's face his habits, the way he eat, the way he behave, the way he does everything was just like Alex.

Ric reminded her of Alex every moment. She was sure that when he finally meets his Dad, he is for sure going to be Dad's son. And soon he will just become like him. But now, as a mother she wanted her son to make a choice for himself. And she will be happy as long as Ric is happy with this choice.

"But what happened then??" David asked and Sebastian explained everything. They all look at her with a different expression which she couldn't decipher. There was love, grief, pain and lot more.

But she hasn't told anyone the actual reason why she left. About the conversation she heard. She didn't have the courage to say that. Not yet!!!

"I have a request for all of you" Sarah spoke looking at everyone. Everyone nodded their heads in approval.

"I don't want anyone of you to mention him about me or my son. I myself will tell him about Ric." I said and everyone reluctantly nodded.

"What's his full name??" Damon asked.

"Alaric Alexander De Luca!!" Sebastian spoke and everyone looked surprised.

"Isn't this the name you both decided if it was a boy??" Damon asked looking curious. Sarah simply nodded.

"And I want to stay in Dad's house for time being?? Is that okay for you Dad??" Sarah asked her father.

"Ofcourse. I would be more than happy to spend time with my daughter." Her dad spoke grinning like a small kid.

"Then shall we go?? I am tired" Sarah said and she left to her Dad's penthouse in the same estate.

The week passed by so fast like a lightning. Everyone started to warm up and she felt really happy for their change. Everyone started to eat together daily and spend time together.

Ric even though never expressed much, was quite comfortable around them. And Ric has become their source of happiness. Everyone were protective towards him.

Lily and Rose became friends easily. When Ruby came to know about Sarah she landed the next day. Things were going well between John and Ruby and now they are engaged. Ruby instantly caught up with Rose and now they four together formed a mini gang of girls.

Sarah felt the happiness she missed these years. The happiness of being with family. And now she doesn't want to lose this anymore. And she deserves this happiness more than anyone.

Everyone noticed that something was wrong with her whenever Alex's topic was brought up. So they decided against it and didn't bring anything about him with her. They gave her the space she needed and she was thankful for that.

While Sarah thought everything was going well, the person whom she dreaded the most stepped his foot in his homeland. Alex has returned from his trip. He looked refreshed after getting sucked off by the air hostess of his private jet.

Never in these two years he fucked someone. He just used them whenever he wanted a release and that too only oral. Nothing else.

He took in a deep breathe and started walking towards his car and soon he was in his estate. When he was passing by his padre's penthouse, he saw Lily playing in the pool with a kid. He was curious as to who entered his estate when he was not here and asked the driver to pull up.

He started walking towards the pool. And as he got to see the face of the kid playing in the pool, he stood frozen in his spot. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. How can this be possible?? How can the kid look exactly like him?? As far as he could remember he never had sex with someone without protection except one!!

Then he heard something he thought he never would. Her voice!! Her angelic voice. The voice he wanted to hear every day. The voice he hasn't heard in the past two years. Sarah!!

"Ric!! How many times have I told you not to go into the pool without this on??"

Alex turned to see the woman he loves waking with a lifeguard in her hands. He stood there like a statue not believing what he just saw. Is this real?? Or he dreaming??

Sarah too stood frozen in her place as she saw the man she ever loved so dearly looking at her. She didn't expect their meeting to be like this.

She then heaed his voice. The voice that gives her goosebumps. The voice which made her knees go weak. The voice she wanted to hear for so long.

"Sarah??"
