The Princess To Be

4th Chapter

F  o  u  r.

All my life, I've been keeping a secret from my friends and other people. Although my parents know that secret. They were even the ones who told me when I was 7.

I never mentioned or told anyone about that. I don't like being judged or mistreated. I mean, who wants that?

Sometimes, the idea of that secret makes me happy and sometimes don't.

Not happy because of my mother who most likely wants to kill me. And happy because I had a father who cared so much about me, but he died instead. Happy also because I know that somehow, there are still good people around me that are generous to help me survive life.

Even though I knew the secret almost all my life, I still feel like I'm living a life that's full of lies.

I always remember that maybe I'm a big lie and mistake for my mother, father and even the world.

If they didn't get me from an orphanage on the first place, maybe dad wouldn't have died because of me.

Yes, I am an adopted child. I'm just like a fake baby doll given to a couple who can't have any.

It hurts, of course. But what can I do? My fate must be leading to something I might not know yet. We all do.

But memories keep coming back and always goes to my parents who have adopted me. I just wish they didn't adopt me. But I also like that they did.

Life's confusing and it always is.

I love my parents and i love that they have gave me a family. But of all the orphans, why did they choose me anyway? Do i have something special when I was 15 months old? I guess not.

What I don't like as their adopted child is that I caused my only dad's death and now my mother who loved me, hated me. Despised me even.

Of all confusion that came to me, this one could be worse. If this is true then this is too much for me!

"Finding the lost princess of Ravensdale Kingdom named RIANNE for the throne next to QueenJenet."

I mean, that one sentence. It's ridiculous! It has clearly my name on it. My name. On the TV.

That isn't possible is it? Of course not, it can't be. I'm from an orphanage. Not from a gate of an enormous castle specifically something named Ravensdale.

You know what's worse than the worst thing that could happen? Well...

"Rianne! Oh my god. This is you! I know it's you! We both know that this is you!" she yelled with shock and excitement, in a away that I'm not sure what her emotion is.

Now what she had just said is the what's worse than the worst thing that could happen.

She could not think that! I know my life is miserable right now, but what she's thinking will make me more miserable. And that's so impossible.

"Mom, we have a secret, remember? You can't just push me to that and spread to the world that I'm your adopted child."

"If someone's crazy here, it's you! I mean, do you know how unique your name is? And what's shown here is exactly yours!" Mom replied, pointing at the television.

"You can be a princess and you can be the granddaughter of a queen. You can have anything you want!" she added.

Now what she's saying is too much. The world is round and big. What she just said is too unbelievable to be believable. if that ever makes sense.
