Preface
ELEVEN YEARS AGO (THIRD P.O.V)
All six princes crowded around their mother. The youngest around six years old and the eldest twelve.
“What’s her name, mummy?” Nine-year-old Austin asked, staring at the baby girl in his mother’s arms. Her huge brown eyes stared up at him.
“Samantha. Samantha Flower Ford,” Queen Sophia smiled, looking at her first daughter.
(A/N: okay, okay, I know Ford isn’t the most royal name, but deal with it 😂)
Austin looked at his sister with wonder.
“Why is she so tiny?” Six-year-old Xavier asked.
“’Cause, she’s a baby. Duh,” Leonardo said, holding his eight-year-old head up high. His deep green eyes twinkled with the mirth that only a child’s eyes could possess.
Sophia smiled at her crazy family. She brushed a strand of black hair out of her eyes. Her family was finally complete.
***STARFLOWER***
A few hours later, when Sophia had fallen asleep and her children went home, a very crazy lady snuck into the hospital room in which Samantha had been born.
This lady, in particular, has a special hatred for Queen Sophia and the royal family.
“This will show them!” she whispered, snatching the baby girl.
Georgia Calio had always wanted to marry Ryan Ford. She would write ‘Queen Georgia’ over and over in her school notebook, but, when Ryan inherited the village of Willow from his father, he chose to marry Sophia White instead of her. You’d have thought that the sting would have left after fourteen years. But nope.
Wanting revenge, Georgia devised a plan to steal the royal family’s next child that was born, which happened to be the first girl they ever had.
Taking the baby, Georgia immediately re-christened it Samantha Flower Calio. She rushed out of the royal hospital and hurried home to her house, packing up her belongings, and moving to her late brother’s house.
***STARFLOWER***
Meanwhile, Sophia Ford was in tears.
“Who would do that?” she sobbed. Her husband hugged her tighter, knowing how heartbroken his beloved wife was.
“We’ll find her,” Ryan promised.
All six royal children swarmed in, wanting to see Samantha again.
"She's gone," Sophia sobbed. The children were all angry, even Xavier, who didn't really understand what was going on; he only realized that his mother was sad.
The royal children vowed to find Samantha Ford if it was the last thing they did.
