All she can feel is pain. Every fiber of her being seems to be on fire, an eternity of suffering then all of a sudden it stopped and the pain was replaced with darkness and she felt cramped like she was stuck inside a narrow place.

'What is this place? Is this the afterlife?' she thought frantically, struggling to move her limbs. She's desperate to move from the uncomfortable position as she put all her energy to her struggling and was rewarded when she was met by a blinding light.

She blinked a few times to adjust her eyesight from the shift of light and was greeted by the sight of a lady lying on a hospital bed with her hair sticking to her skin due to the sweat she accumulated from what she assumed a vigorous task.

"It's a girl madame!" She heard from the one who's holding her announced her gender before adding "Strange tho, she didn't even cry." Before she was passed to the lady on the hospital bed who's obviously her mother.

"She's beautiful," her mother whispered.

"Indeed she is. Just like you," she heard another voice which came from a man she didn't even notice earlier.

"Of course not! Mas kamukha mo sya," her mother argued but before the man—her father—can reply, the door slammed open and revealed a tall and dashingly handsome man with a dangerous aura surrounding him along with couple of formally dressed poker-faced men.

Her parents' eyes widened in obvious fear for the man but all she can think was how gorgeous the man before her was.

'Who is this man? How can he affect me this way?' She mused to herself while still staring at the stranger.

"Greetings Suarez," the stranger said monotonously.

"What is your business here your highness? Kung tungkol sa utang namin ay babayaran namin kayo—" The stranger cut her father off by raising a hand at him.

"I came for a different reason," he paused before stating in a clear yet cold voice, "I want that child of yours to be my future queen when she turns 17."

To say she was shocked by this was an understatement, all she can remember was pain and suffering and all of a sudden she was thrust into a completely different life then there is this dangerous yet gorgeous stranger claiming her as his wife when she turned at a certain age!

Her parent's voice didn't register to her anymore when suddenly she was out of her mother's arms and thrusted to the stranger's. She looked up into his face and was met with a beautiful shade of gold, she tried to reach his face using her tiny hand and earned an amused chuckle from the man.

"I will name you Tatiana Felicity Suarez," the man whispered to her before adding, "I will let you use your parents surname but when you turn seventeen, you'll bear my name for the rest of your life," as an afterthought to which she tried to respond but it came out as a coo.

The stranger gave her a gentle smile and a knuckle came to carress her delicate cheek and she purred from the contact. "Hold on tight my darling Tatiana, we're going to apparate(1) to your new home." He said before she felt like she was being sucked into a tiny tube and as soon as the feeling came as soon as it went away but she can't hold bile on her throat and spilled it on the stranger's chest.

"My king! You're home..." the pale woman trailed off as she looked at her with big sparkly eyes. "Sya na ba yan, your highness?"

The stranger only gave the woman a nod before walking up the stairs and turning to the maze-like corridors and finally entering a huge dark room with thick black curtains covering the floor-to-ceiling windows. The stranger then stalk towards the middle on the room where a burgundy king-sized four poster bed was placed.

"This is my room darling and that door," he pointed to the ornate wooden door with gold hinges accross the room. "Is going to be your room but for now you're stuck with me—not that I mind of course—until I found the best caretaker for you and only the best for my future queen."

She never had the time to listen to what the stranger is talking about as she was pulled into Morpheus' realm. Blame the limited energy an infant have for that.
