Alone and with no memories prior to age six, Allison found herself an orphan and spent the last fourteen years growing up in the slums of the Capitol City Zalaris in the Kingdom of Nimairene learning to steal and con those of status in order to survive. Unfortunately, she is caught after what appeared to have been a successful heist and is sent to Lady Pricilla's Prison for Troubled Women where she is put to work in order to learn how to be a proper lady of society. Spending her days in and out of Solitary confinement, Allison believes that she will never finish her sentence on time when she is attacked by a guard. All seems hopeless when suddenly she is saved by a Palace Guard and whisked away. It is then revealed to Allison that she is not Allison of the Slums but is, in fact, Allisara Nimair of the Kingdom Nimairene and the rightful Queen to the throne. Her life takes a turn as she goes from Prisoner to Princess in a matter of hours and the truth behind Allisara's missing memories and dark past comes to light that reveals just who her enemies truly are and that they were closer than she thought. But with the help of Skylard Blackhawk, Allisara is able to navigate her life as the next ruler and weed out those who pose a threat to her reign. Now all that is left to question is will this lost Princess return her Kingdom to its former glory and find love along the way, or will the past come to claim the life it failed to take fourteen years ago?

Chapter 1
“Ilayo mo sa akin ang result na iyan at umalis ka sa harapan ko! Isa ka talagang basura. Walang kwenta! Ano na lang ang magiging silbi mo sa anak ko kung isa ka pa lang baog?” saad ng kaniyang galit na biyenan pagkatapos nitong ipakita ang medical result na nagsasabi na hindi siya makapagbubuntis kahit na kailan.
“Dapat hindi na lang ikaw ang ipinakasal kay Alejandro. Wala ka na ngang silbi, baog ka pa!”
Naguguluhang tiningnan ni Klaire ang papel na binigay sa kaniya ng kaniyang biyenan. Hindi niya maintindihan ang sinasabi nito. Baog siya?
Paanong nangyari ‘yon?
“Ma, hindi ko po kayo maintindihan—”
“Don’t call me that. Mas lalo kitang hindi matatanggap sa pamilyang ‘to,” sabi pa ng kaniyang biyenan. “Mabuti na lang at bumalik na si Sophia. Ilang araw na silang magkasama ni Alejandro. Did you know that? Matatapos na ang kahihiyan na binibigay mo sa anak ko at sa pamilya namin!”
Napakurap siya sa sinabi nito. Tila ba isa ‘yong punyal na sumasaksak sa kaniya. Tulala lamang si Klaire nang iwan siya ni Donya Melissa Fuentabella sa maluwag na sala ng mansyon. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat na maramdaman. Ang tanging nasa isip niya lang ay si Sophia.
Bumalik na ang babaeng ‘yon…
Suminghap siya.
“Hindi ito maaari…” bulong niya sa sarili at nagsimulang malaglag ang kaniyang mga luha.
Nang hapon na ‘yon ay nagkulong siya sa kwarto. Naupo lamang si Klaire sa kama, tulala, hanggang sa magsimula nang dumilim ang buong silid. Pasado alas otso ng gabi nang makarinig siya ng tunog ng paparating na kotse mula sa labas ng mansyon ng mga Fuentabella.
Alam ni Klaire na walang iba kundi si Alejandro ang dumating.
Hindi rin nagtagal ay bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto. Nagliwanag ang mga ilaw at nasilayan niya ang kanyang asawa. The man walked in with a coat on his arm. Kung lumakad ay para bang isang hari. His entire demeanor screams of power and wealth. Napaka-gwapo, ngunit kita rin ang walang awa at malamig na emosyon sa mga mata nito.
Lumapit ito kay Klaire at walang sabi-sabing itinapon sa gilid ng kama ang isang dokumento.
“Pipirmahan ko ‘yan kapag nakapagdesisyon na ako,” wika ni Klaire sa matigas na boses.
“Why waste time thinking about it?” Alejandro glared at her, his voice was deep and cruel.
Nag-angat ng tingin si Klaire sa lalaki. Alam niyang hindi titigil ang asawa hangga’t hindi niya pinipirmahan ang divorce paper. Alam niyang hindi siya minahal nito pero hindi maiwasan ng kaniyang puso na masaktan. Hindi siya makahinga sa sakit. Ginawa naman niya ang lahat para sa lalaki.
Bakit kulang pa rin?
“Bakit ba gusto mong makipaghiwalay? Dahil ba nalaman niyong baog ako? Iyon lang ba ang dahilan, Alejandro?” galit niyang tanong dito kahit na alam niya sa sarili niyang may iba pang posibleng rason.
Malamig siyang pinagmasdan ni Alejandro. “Don’t make things too complicated. You should know better than anyone why you and I got married in the first place.”
Oo, alam niya.
Dalawang taon ang nakakalipas nang magkasakit si Don Armando Fuentabella, kaya naman hiniling nito na maikasal ang nag-iisa nitong anak na si Alejandro.
Si Don Armando at ang tunay na ama ni Klaire ay may kasunduang ipakasal ang kanilang mga anak. Ngunit nalaman ng Don na hindi tunay na anak ng mga De Guzman si Sophia matapos isagawa ang medical examination nito. Dahil dito ay pinahanap ang totoong anak ng mga De Guzman hanggang sa matunton siya ng mga ito.
Then it happened. The contract marriage fell on her head. It was sudden and unexpected.
Pero dahil sa unang kita pa lang ay nagustuhan na niya si Alejandro ay pumayag siyang magpakasal dito.
Sariwa pa sa alaala ni Klaire kung paano siya sinugod ni Sophia noong araw ng kasal nila ni Alejandro para sirain siya sa lahat. Nagkunwari pa ito na tinulak niya sa hagdan dahilan para magkaroon ng serious damage ang mga paa nito, kaya naman kinailangang nitong lumipad abroad para magpagamot.
That incident caused a lot of trouble. People, especially Alejandro and Mrs. Fuentabella, had bad impressions of her. Ang lahat ng awa at kabutihan ng mga ito ay pawang kay Sophia lamang.
Klaire was humiliated in front of thousand people during the wedding. Pero kahit sa kaniyang tunay na mga magulang ay wala siyang nakuha ni katiting na simpatya o suporta. In fact, they hated her. They didn’t want to acknowledge her existence.
Mas mahal nila si Sophia na itinuring nilang anak sa loob ng labing-siyam na taon. Mas pabor sila kay Sophia dahil mataas ang pinag-aralan nito, at lahat ng mga mayayamang pamilya ay humahanga rito.
Samantalang ang tunay nilang anak ay isang basura…
Inalala ni Klaire kung paano siya sinigawan at sinisi ng kaniyang biyenan nang hapon ding ‘yon. Isang malaking kwestiyon sa kaniya kung paano nito nasabing baog siya. Alejandro never slept with her since the day of their wedding! Hindi nga niya alam kung totoo ba ang nilalaman ng medical result na ipinakita ng biyenan niya sa kanya.
Mas lalong nagpupuyos ang poot sa dibdib ni Klaire. Siguro nga ay oras na para itigil ang kahibangan niya. Her husband’s heart can’t be warmed up. Dalawang taon na silang mag-asawa ngunit sa kabila ng kabutihan at pagmamahal na itinuon niya para sa lalaki ay walang silbi pa rin ang tingin nito sa kaniya.
Bumaba ang tingin ni Klaire sa divorce paper at matabang na natawa.
“Kung gusto mo talagang pirmahan ko ‘yan, dapat gawin mo ang lahat ng gusto ko, Alejandro.” Mataman niya itong tinitigan. “I want you to sleep with me. Right here, right now.”
“What did you say?” Halata ang gulat sa mga mata ni Alejandro. “Klaire, don’t be stubborn—” ngunit bago pa nito matapos ang sasabihin ay tumayo si Klaire at mabilis itong hinalikan sa mga labi.
She kissed her husband provocatively and released him. “Dalawang taon tayong kasal, Alejandro. Ginawa ko ang lahat para maging mabuting asawa sa iyo. Inalagaan kita kahit parang katulong lang ang tingin mo sa akin. You should at least pay me back… using your body. Is that too much to ask?”
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” matigas at galit na wika ni Alejandro. “Just because you try to be provocative and initiate a lousy kiss, does not mean I will give you what you want.”
Sarkastikong napangiti si Klaire. “Bakit hindi mo kayang gawin? Siguro totoo ang mga balita na ikaw talaga ang may problema… hindi ako.” Her stare went down the zipper of his pants. “Maybe you really are physically incompetent kaya sa loob ng dalawang taon ay hindi mo ako tinabihan sa kama.”
“What the f*ck, Klaire?” Mas lalong nag-alab ang galit sa mga mata ni Alejandro.
“Prove to me that I’m wrong. Sleep with me,” walang emosyong sabi ni Klaire.
“I’ll show you how capable I am!” wika nito pagkatapos ay hinigit siya at siniil ng mapusok na halik.
For the very first time, they did it. Hindi lang isang beses. Sinigurado ni Klaire na kahit sa gabing ‘yon lamang ay maaangkin niya nang lubos ang asawa.
Kinabukasan ay nagising siya nang maaga, samantalang mahimbing pa ang tulog ni Alejandro sa tabi niya. Walang imik na nag-impake ng gamit si Klaire, pinirmahan ang divorce paper at nag-iwan ng bente pesos sa mesa kasama ang isang note na sinigurado niyang hindi makakalimutan ni Alejandro.
‘Dear ex-husband, hindi ka pala magaling sa kama. Ito ang bente pesos. Bayad ko sa nangyari kagabi.’

Six years later…
Bloom Perfume Manufacturing Co.
Nakatuon ang atensyon ni Klaire sa pagbabasa ng data sa screen nang biglang mag-crash ang computer niya. Hindi lamang iyon dahil ilang segundo lang ay nagloko ang buong network ng research room na tila ba may nagmamanipula nito. Lahat ng mga empleyado ay nagsimulang mag-panic.
“Nagsimula na naman ang dalawang tagapagmana ng pamilya Perez!”
Hanggang sa nakarinig sila ng countdown.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight…
Kapag natapos ang countdown, ang buong research data ng kumpanya ay mawawala! Mabilis na hinalughog ni Klaire ang kaniyang bag at kinuha ang phone para tawagan ang mga salarin sa gulong ito.
“Baby, I’m so sorry. Uuwi na talaga si Mommy. Please, ihinto niyo na to,” pagmamakaawa ni Klaire.
May isang batang boses na sumagot sa kabilang linya. “Hello? Who is this? Is this Ms. Perez? The genius doctor and popular perfumer?”
“Anak, promise. Mommy will go home na. Tinatapos ko lang talaga ‘tong final batch. Stop this stunt, please. Do not attack the network of the research institute again. I’m sorry, baby…”
EpiloguePacing her room, the Princess wonders if now is the right time. Plans were made to hold her Coronation next Saturday as this Sunday she will turn twenty-one. She knows with the small fights and skirmishes caused by that Traitor and his rebels that her people need a distraction, but deep down this nagging feeling tells her something bad is going to happen.The door to her room opens causing the Princess to jump in fright. Her boyfriend, realizing he startled her, takes quick strides and pulls her into his arms.“Are you okay Allisara?” He asks, pressing a soft kiss on her cheek.“I am worried about next week. The Princess admits, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her body as close to his as possible.“Next week you will be crowned Queen-”“And the Rebellion could be in full swing by then.” She cuts in, worry etched into her voice. The man sighs, pulling away from her slightly to look into those violet eyes that melts his heart, giving her a reassuring smile.“Nothing w
Chapter 56Sitting in the waiting room of the hospital wing, my left leg bounces as anxiety and worry courses through me. Kian is pacing the floor, his eyes full of anger while Lia and Mia mumble prayers. Alice is sitting beside me, staring at the doors as we all way for a nurse to confirm whether or not we can visit our friend. Sky had gone for a coffee run with Arian and Adam; the two guards having rushed here as soon as they got the news.“Princess.” A small voice calls out causing me to jump to my feet and march towards the Nurse that came through the heavy doors.“How is he?” I ask right away, taking the Nurse’s hands in mine.“He is resting now. The surgery was a success.” A collective sigh goes through all of us, the tension and worry in the room breaking as we all visibly relax. Max had been in surgery the moment he was sent back to the Palace. As soon as we all managed to return home, we had made our way to the hospital wing. The nurse typing on the laptop in the corner was t
Chapter 55Exiting my carriage with the help of Sky, I wince slightly from the discomfort caused by waking up in Sky’s arms this morning. Last night he and I had fully committed to one another and this morning when we woke up, he made sure to show me how much he loves me.“Did I over do it?” Sky asks as I link my arm through his.“Yes.” I pout as he leads me towards the stage where I will sit during the execution. I can already hear the crowd demanding bloodshed for all the heinous acts Juden and his men have committed and I will gladly give it to them. My Grandparents, Kolten and Arian are already seated on stage, each one wearing a black suit. Taylor and her own unit are spread out in the crowd, listening in for information in case any of Juden’s men are mixed with the crowd waiting to free their leader.Sky helps me climb the stairs to the stage, escorting me to the microphone that sits to the right corner of the stage we will be sitting on. Below me is another platform, one that h
Chapter 54Gasping awake from my dream, I look around the room and realize that I am safe and sound in my own bed. A fire roars in my fireplace, dimly lighting the room and keeping it warm and my body feels so sore and weak."Allisara?” I shiver at the sound of his deep voice, my head turning towards my bedroom door. There Sky stands, his emerald eyes locked onto my violet ones.“Hi.” I croak out, tears falling down my face. He rushes to my side, pulling me into his arms as soon as he sits on the edge of the bed and I begin to sob. How did I forget him, my Sky?"What’s wrong? are you hurting?" He asks, rubbing my back and doing his best to soothe me."I’m sorry I forgot about you." I sob out, my arms snaking around his neck. He pulls away in shock, his eyes wide as his hands move to cup my face.“You…you remember me?” He whispers, his own tears falling down his face.“Yes!” I manage to say before his lips slam against mine, claiming them in a heated kiss. I melt into his embrace, part
Chapter 53Pouting beside my cake, I watch as Demitrias talks to all those girls that surround him, my cousin being one of them. My mother just announced that I am to marry him before my fifth birthday party began and I am not happy. Not once has he wished me a happy birthday or come my way.The girls are called away and finally he is alone. I do my best to march towards him, wanting to talk to my friend and see why he is being so mean to me.“Allisara get out of my way.” He sighs out, annoyed by me."No." I cross my arms over my chest and stomp my foot. He is my fiancé now; he needs to talk to me."Move or I will make you." He grounds out, glaring at me."Why are you being so mean to me?" I nearly shout, tears filling my eyes."Because I don't like you. You're just a dumb girl I have to marry." With that he pushes me to the side, nearly knocking me onto the ground. A pair of arms catch me and the scent of pine fills my nose. Before I can say anything to the person, he gently pulls me
Chapter 52"Sky.” Lia appears from the shadows, a smile on her face as she appears beside Noir."Mia is watching the shack but she is there. Alli is there.” Relief fills me as I slump in Noir’s saddle. We are so close to saving her now.“How many people?” I ask, climbing from Noir. I let his reigns fall to the ground.“Four men. The shack only has one main room and one bath room. Hunters use it to camp out during hunting season.” She takes out a dagger from her boot and motions for Kian to come join us. We all agreed Alec will stay with our horses so that we have an easy getaway.“Alli is close to bathroom door. She is passed out on a mattress. It seems only one man is guarding the door, like he is waiting for someone.” She draws the shack as best as possible in the ground, using a circle to show Allisara and triangles for the kidnappers.“Three are inside playing a card game and drinking. I have a feeling they are drunk. It’s the guy guarding the door we need to worry about.” Lia con
