Like mother and daughter, Claire and her mother, Erin—or rather, her real name, Amanda—were their closest friends, so being separated from them was painful.

“Mom, stop crying. Even if Claire doesn’t remember that she was my dearest friend and that she’s a princess, it’s okay. We can remind her of that.”

Timothy’s mother couldn’t respond anymore as she broke into tears. He let her cry and comforted her. Shortly after she finished crying, Claire woke up.

“Claire!”

Claire turned to the person who called her and was shocked to see them—especially since they were inside her room.

“W-what are you doing here, Kuya? Tita? How did you find me?”

Claire sat up from where she had been lying, and Timothy immediately helped her as she asked.

“Are you feeling better now, hija?”

Claire looked at Kaithy upon hearing her question and nodded.

“I’m fine now, Ms. Kaithy.”

Kaithy was startled by how Claire addressed her.

“W-what did you just call me?” Claire was confused by her reacti

    Claire cried as she said, “Tita, who?! Where are dad and kuya?! Where are they, Tita? I want to see them!” Her voice was filled with excitement, making Kaithy shake her head in response. “You can’t, Claire. That’s all you can know for now. It’s not the right time yet—everything is still too complicated. So if you really want to meet them, stop hiding from us, okay?” Claire suddenly felt saddened by her words. “Why, Tita? I want to meet them already.” Timothy held her hand, making her look at him. “Claire, trust us. We’ll tell you eventually, but now is not the right time, okay?” Claire had no choice but to nod. As much as she wanted to meet her father and brother, she couldn’t—not yet. She had to trust them. “You promise? I’ll wait until you tell me who they are.” The two smiled and nodded at her, easing Claire’s heart. She knew she had to wait for the truth because if she pushed them, they might never tell her. “Let’s go back to talking about your children.” Claire sm

    “We’re together? How?” Claire asked Timothy in confusion. “It’s hard to explain. You’ll understand in time. Right now, your body is already reflecting danger—it means you can defend yourself because we were trained for combat.” Claire still couldn’t process it. She wondered how this could have happened when she had no memory of it. She didn’t want to force the issue, fearing it might make things worse. “Okay, I get it. But I don’t like this. What if I hurt someone? I’m scared. What if something happens to me? How?” Seeing her distress, Timothy held her hand and looked into her eyes. “I won’t leave you. We won’t leave you. So stop hiding, especially now that someone’s after your life. You need to stay with us at all times.” “My son is right, Claire. You’re not safe walking alone,” Kaithy added. Claire nodded at their words. “Alright. So, tomorrow, we’re going out—our family, Zoey, Mom, and Quinn. If you want, you can come with us. Then the next day, we’re leaving for

    The onlookers were also smiling at the scene between the mother and daughter. Timothy was happy for his friend because he could clearly see the sadness in her eyes as she told her story the night before. Meanwhile, his mother understood the pain of being separated from one’s child, which made her wonder where Claire found the strength to leave her daughter behind. “Mommy, why are you already here?! I mean, I’m happy that you’re here, but why so sudden? You said one month, right?” Claire smiled at her daughter’s words and wiped the tears from her cheeks. “Because Mommy missed you so much, so I finished my work early.” Zoey was about to speak when they heard a voice from upstairs. “Claire, my child?” “Mom!” Claire quickly ran up the stairs and hugged her tightly. “What’s wrong with you, Claire? What if you tripped? You’re grown up now, yet you still don’t think straight!” Claire could only laugh at her mother’s words. No matter what, she had always been so careful wi

    On one side, as Hero was driving to the mall to accompany Zayne, his thoughts were deep. He still couldn’t believe what he had witnessed last night—he saw firsthand how Claire defeated her enemies. “How did Claire do that?” Hero whispered to himself, replaying the events of last night in his mind. Hero was Zekiel’s primary “eyes” against those who wanted to bring him down—gangsters, mafia, or rival organizations. As Zekiel was the wealthiest businessman in the world, many wanted to take his position and all his money. Countless had tried to outsmart him in business, but none succeeded. The only solution they saw was to eliminate him. They knew Zekiel didn’t belong to any organization or group. What they didn’t know was that behind his massive company and prestigious name, Gray had trained operatives skilled in combat. Zekiel was one of them. Since childhood, his father had trained him to fight, knowing the day would come when enemies would rise against them—and he was ce

    Claire couldn’t move from where she stood, her eyes fixed on her child. Hero, however, acted quickly and approached them, knowing there would be trouble—especially since she wasn’t disguised anymore. “Venice! Wow! Why are you dressed like that?! Where are you going?” Hero’s words made Claire glance at her, widening her eyes in disbelief. Claire couldn’t process it yet—she was still in shock. “U-uhh, well—“ “Tita-Mommy, you look so pretty! That outfit suits you!” Zayne said cheerfully, hugging her leg, which made Claire tremble. She had no idea what to do. Hero cursed under her breath again, seeing how lost Claire was. She stepped away for a moment and called Claire. Claire flinched when her phone rang. “J-just a sec, Zayne, I have a call,” she told the child, who nodded as Claire moved slightly away. “H-Hello?” she answered. “Pull yourself together, Claire! I can see your family from here! If they come over, it’s over for you! You need to get them out of here—now!” Hero

    “What does this mean, Venice?” Louise asked Claire in confusion as they sat at the same table with Quinn, Timothy, Dylan, and Bea. Meanwhile, their other companions were seated at a different table. Fortunately, they had managed to convince the kids to separate from them, explaining that they had something important to discuss. Besides, Bianca had already returned to her usual self, so she and Zoey were now able to talk freely. “Why do they call you Claire? Why are your eyes gray? Why does Zayne look like the woman who’s supposedly your daughter?” Louise fired off all the questions swirling in his mind. He couldn’t understand how everything had changed so suddenly. Just a while ago, he had seen Claire in Zekiel’s office, and now, he was shocked by her sudden transformation. “Mr. Hunt—” “Shut up, Dylan! This isn’t business anymore,” Dylan fell silent after interrupting their conversation. “Louise, calm down. There’s no need to get mad at Dylan,” Claire said gently, notici

    “What happened, Claire?” Timothy asked worriedly when he noticed the young woman fidgeting with her hands. He knew she only did that when she was anxious or guilty. Because of Timothy’s reaction, the others turned to look at them as well. “I’ll tell you later,” Claire nodded, waiting for their orders to be served first. “We must go to Paris tonight. Zekiel will find out everything if we don’t!” Everyone was shocked, especially Bea. “What?!” Bea said in disbelief, making Claire sigh and turn to her friend. “I’m so sorry, Bea. I’m planning to live in Paris for good.” “What? N-No,” Bea shook her head before taking a bite of her food. “B-Bea—” “Stop, Claire. I don’t want to talk about it,” Bea said calmly, making Dylan glance at her. They all knew Bea was pregnant, so they didn’t want to stress her out. Claire stayed silent. Claire wanted to cry—Bea’s disapproval of her decision hurt, but there was nothing she could do. They had to leave tonight. --- “WHAT?!” Zek

    “WHAT do you mean, Hero?” Zekiel’s gaze snapped up to meet Hero’s. The man visibly swallowed under the weight of that predatory stare – it felt like Hero wanted to tear him apart with his eyes alone. “V-Venice isn’t in the country anymore, Kiel.” Hero didn’t even blink as two heavy objects from Zekiel’s desk went flying past his head – hurled at him with violent force. “What do you mean she’s not in the country?! Are you fucking with me?!” Zekiel’s roar made the walls tremble, his eyes burning with barely contained fury. “I’m telling you the truth. Venice is gone,” Hero maintained his calm despite the storm before him. “Impossible! She can’t just disappear on me!” The frustration in Zekiel’s voice cracked as he collapsed into his chair, fingers tearing through his own hair. “They left last—“ “Why didn’t you stop her?!” Zekiel’s interruption came like a gunshot. “How the hell would I know?!

    “No, YOU are being rude.” The man suddenly sat back down at her words, and the room fell silent. “May I remind all of you? We hired you to be the BALANCERS of this country, not the RULERS. WE are the rulers, and YOU are the balancers. So you have NO right to decide whether to accept me or my late mother as Princess and Queen of this country!” Claire held her head high as she spoke, leaving them speechless. Timothy grinned widely, almost clapping at his friend’s words. “I, the Princess of Spain, declare that the current council will be REPLACED with a new one!” Everyone stood up in protest, but Timothy acted swiftly, slamming his long gun on the table, silencing them. “The princess has given an order, so you MUST obey. Royal blood can make decisions without consulting the king.” Claire smiled as she saw the defeated looks on the men’s faces, then glanced at Timothy, who nodded back. Finally, she had avenged her mother. ’Mama, I know this is what you wanted. We miss you so

    Breaking News: After a decade and a half of searching for the Queen and Princess of Spain, they have finally been found. Unfortunately, the Queen has passed away, and only the Princess, Princess Claire, has survived. Reports have also spread that the two royals had been staying in the Philippines, where they lived as ordinary citizens. --- Zekiel turned off the TV after seeing the news. A few days had passed since Timothy went with him to retrieve the body of the late Queen. He desperately wanted to see Claire, but he couldn’t—he had no right to ask about her. Especially now that she was known worldwide, with the strange circumstances surrounding her and her mother spreading everywhere. “Daddy!” He turned to the door and saw the twins running toward him. “Is there any news about Mommy yet?” Zoey asked with a hopeful smile. “Not yet, sweetheart,” Zekiel replied sadly. “Don’t worry, Daddy! Mommy will come back! Uncle Clark promised us!” Zoey said cheerfully. “Zoey’s ri

    He was Timothy’s father and Kaithy’s husband. The right hand of the King, his own father. He was the one who taught them how to fight back then, so he could never forget the man—he had played such a huge part in his life. “I miss you so much, Tito!” She pulled away from the hug, and the man held her cheeks. “I couldn’t believe you’d grow up into such a beautiful lady.” Claire smiled even wider at his words. “Mama took good care of me, Tito.” The man’s smile faded at what she said. “I’m sorry about your mother.” “It’s okay, Tito. I’ve accepted it. It’s Papa I’m worried about.” Timothy’s father understood Tagalog but couldn’t speak it fluently since he didn’t grow up in the Philippines, unlike his wife and son, who had spent many years there. “I’ll go ahead now, Tito. I’ll see you later.” She smiled at him, and the man nodded. The news of the princess’s arrival spread quickly throughout the palace, and many wanted to catch a glimpse of her. Some even secretly positioned

    Clark bowed his head at her question. “The doctor said your body is completely exhausted, especially after you were hit by a bullet in the shoulder,” Claire touched her shoulder but felt no pain there. No wonder it didn’t hurt—she had been asleep for a week. “The twins, Kuya?! What happened to my children?!” she exclaimed in shock as she remembered her kids. “Calm down, Claire. They’re fine. I had our people watch over them, so everything’s alright.” Claire stopped her hysterics upon hearing this and let out a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry, Kuya Clark. I’m just scared something bad might happen to my family.” Clark nodded in understanding at his sister’s words. Even though he didn’t have his own family yet, he felt the same way about theirs. “Oh, by the way, Kuya, does Papa know I’m here?” Clark shook his head at her question. “Papa doesn’t know. I hid you, Claire, because I want you to be the one to talk to him about what happened to Mama.” Claire couldn’t help but feel

    After Zekiel said that, he immediately shot the enemies, causing the other two to join in, each firing at the opponents trying to advance. Since there were three of them, they quickly defeated them, much to the delight of the other two. “Finally!” Hero exclaimed. “We can go home now! Kiel, come on, hurry!” Dylan was the first to run, making the other two shake their heads before following. Dylan stopped at a door where they knew Louise was. “You go first, Kiel, hehe,” Dylan said, scratching his head sheepishly. “See? Acting all tough but actually a coward,” Hero teased, earning him a glare from Dylan. Meanwhile, Zekiel didn’t hesitate—he kicked the door open. But he froze when he saw Louise and Camille lifeless, drenched in their own blood on the floor. “D-Daddy!” He turned toward the voice and immediately ran to the twins. “Zoey! Zayne!” He hugged them tightly as the twins cried into his chest. When an explosion echoed in the distance, Zoey started crying again, b

    “IN the count of three,” Zekiel said seriously as they stood at the edge of the garden of the building where Timothy was hiding, holding his family hostage. “One... Two... Three... NOW!” Zekiel’s men quickly scrambled into action at his signal. When they reached the underground passage, two people opened it, and as soon as it was unlocked, they rushed inside one after another. “Go! Go! Go!” Dylan whispered urgently to their teammates leading the way inside. “Make sure to keep it quiet,” Hero muttered to one of the men, who nodded in response. Once everyone else was in, the three of them followed. They had only brought a few men underground since the others were on lookout and would join them once the trap was set. When they entered, they found themselves in an open space that was clearly abandoned. “Start setting things up as planned.” The men nodded and began working on their assigned tasks. They had agreed to place long, sharp metal rods so that when their enemies

    Claire glanced at her trembling hands, the pain and fear of losing the child in her womb overwhelming her. Then, she saw the crown in front of her, picked it up, and placed it on her head before aiming the gun at them again. “A p-princess fears nothing.” Claire moved swiftly and pulled the trigger, but the two dodged. Camille quickly grabbed another gun and fired at Claire, hitting her shoulder, making Zayne cry even harder. “Mommy!!!” He desperately wanted to escape but couldn’t. The noise woke Zoey, and as her mind processed what was happening, she began to cry, drawing Zayne’s attention. “Z-Zoey, close your eyes!” No matter how much Zayne pleaded, the twin couldn’t stop crying. He looked at his mom, now lying unconscious on the floor with blood on her leg, and shut his eyes—he couldn’t bear to see her like that. He prayed that someone would save them when, moments later, he heard gunshots. His eyes snapped open, and he saw tall men in palace guard uniforms swiftly surroun

    Her body and hands were tied to the chair, so she couldn’t move. She tried to turn her face away, but Camille grabbed it again, gripping even tighter than before. “Look at me!” Camille shouted angrily, leaving her no choice but to obey. “Do you see this scar?!” Camille hissed. “Yeah, it makes you even uglier.” Claire’s words only infuriated Camille further, who then slapped her hard, forcing her face to the side. “Btch! When someone talks to you properly, answer properly! I’ll make you feel what I went through! I’ll ruin your face because you don’t deserve this!” Camille snatched the crown Claire was wearing, making Claire’s eyes widen in shock—that crown was sacred, and their laws forbade anyone else from touching it. “This suits me better.” “Give that back! It doesn’t belong to you!” But Camille ignored her, placing it on her own head while Claire could only watch helplessly. “See? It looks better on me.” Camille admired herself in a mirror. “Wow, this must be expe

    When I said no, it’s a no. No buts, Timothy—take her to the room and don’t let her out. Timothy nodded at the man’s command and grabbed Claire, who immediately tried to pull away. “No! You can’t do this, Zekiel! My child is in there! I won’t rest until they’re safe! Zekiel!” Zekiel ignored Claire’s screams as Timothy dragged her away, continuing with their planning. “Why did you send Claire away? She could’ve helped us too,” Zekiel shot Hero a sharp look for his remark. “Oh, so you’d be fine if I included your wife in this?” Hero fell silent at that and they resumed their planning. Meanwhile, Claire, furious, struggled against Timothy as he forced her toward their room. She was already thinking of ways to escape and save the children. “Don’t even try. I won’t take my eyes off you,” Timothy said flatly, which only made Claire glare harder. But her anger turned to shock when a man suddenly appeared in front of Timothy, holding a baton. “Behind you!” Her warning came to
