Melting his frozen heart

chapter 3

 don't know what's happening, I don't know how to react

This is just crazy, I'm so speechless

"What's going on," Kelly asked with a confused tone, Ana had excitement written all over her face

I couldn't bear with the stares and the bowing and people filming, I just ran out and locked my self in the storeroom where baking ingredients are kept

I sigh "What's going on" should I call someone, mum? I don't know what to do, this just feels like a dream

I hear a knock 

"Who is it?"

"It's Ana" Oh Thank God, I immediately open the door and pull her in as well

"Ana am so happy you're here, I don't know what to do am so sacred and -" she grabs me by my shoulders

"Breath" I took a deep breath "you okay now?" I nod, she gives me a hug I hug her back and tight

"Everything would be okay  tori, but you can't hide here forever, you need to go out there, everyone's waiting, and did you see the look on kelly face she was all like  " Anna changes the tone of her voice while trying to mimic kelly "Omg what's going on am so confused!" She starts laughing

"What if am the wrong girl, what if it's a mistake, how did they even find out, my mum just told me yesterday, why now? Why-" Anna grabs me by the shoulders  again and shakes me

" snap out of it, you need to stay calm " Okay now my hair is a mess "look you have no option but to go meet that hot dude in the blue suit because by my calculations the media's would soon arrive cause this is huge" oh yeah I forgot paparazzi

I take in a deep breath, Anna is right, there's no running from this, I clean my tears and dust my Apron 

"Okay am ready" Anna just smiles and claps excited.

I try my best to look bold while walking towards the direction of the man in blue, he smiles at me

"Are you ready to come with us your highness " before I could reply Anna immediately jumps in

"Oh yes she is " I just roll my eyes

"Good then, we mustn't waste any minute" I had no idea where we were going I just simply followed him, as soon I stepped out of the bakery a lot of cameras where flashing, all the guards began to surround me, protecting me from the aggressive paparazzi

We enter a limo

"Please make yourself comfortable my lady"

"Could you not call me that"

"Why not, aren't you her Majesty we mustn't refer to you formerly "

"How do you know that am even the real princess"

"Easy, your mum never stopped fighting for you, she kept writing letters, sending DNA tests,  even after the warnings, so the king finally heard of it and decided to investigate it himself and it turned out to be true and I must say we are very much happy to have finally found you"

Like they even tried. "So my real father really believed I was dead all these years"

"Please don't blame him, he was very much devastated, he wasn't in his right mind for years, we were banned from ever mentioning you or her Majesty name "

"Oh wow I had no idea"

"It was indeed sad, so how was your mum did she treat you right"

"Yes, yes she's the best, we didn't have much but she really did try her best to provide for me "

"Well that's good to hear, am sure you will find your brother and sister quite-"

"Wait wait wait, I have siblings "

"Of course your twin siblings Paul and Pauline "

What am I? Sofia the first

"I haven't ever been in a limo like this before, or ever"

"Well that's going to change "

"Do you have a name or should I refer to you as the hot guy in blue" he chuckles

"Well I would like that though, but you your highness refer to me as Steve "

"Really? Just Steve " well that's disappointing

_______I was really nervous, didn't know what to expect, I can't believe am in a limo, I never imagined my first limo ride like this or me wearing an apron, I always imagined it would be with Alex, on our way to prom, well that never happened.

"We are here " deep breathes,  deep breathes, I really wish Anna was with me right now, I really need her

I have never seen the castle up close before, it was simply beautiful, wow, pictures don't lie

The limo stops, Steve opens the door and help me out

"Wow" those were the words that could come out from my mouth, this place was just amazing "someone pinches me am dreaming"

"If I may your Majesty" Steve pinches me

"Ouch! You just pinched me"

"But you said to"

"I didn't technically mean it!"

He just laughs "follow me, young lady "

____inside was more amazing, really nice, I couldn't stop filling my eyes, two guards were walking next to us

Steve opens a huge door "well go in"

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"Nope this is my stop"

"You're leaving me all by myself "

"You'll be fine young lady" I took a deep breath and just acted boldly even if my legs were shaking like crazy, as I enter, the doors where immediately shut

"H-hello?"

I see the king on his throne, a smile appeared on his face with tears gathering in his eyes

"Victoria?  Is that really you "

"I-i think so?" I think so? Way to go Victoria

He immediately stands up from his throne, and rushes towards me, and gives me a hug

"You're finally in my arms after all these years" honestly I don't know what to feel, I can't still believe that this man is my father, his hug becomes even tighter. All of a sudden I begin to cry. "please don't cry Victoria "

I couldn't help but cry even more  "everything would be okay, am here now "
