Recap

"You should never force her to be with you. You just need to make her feel like to do so. And you will be yourself. Is that clear??"

"Yes, Zio. I understood"

The day has finally come when Gina will be returning back home completely after 9 years. She finished high school and studied medicine as she wanted to be a doctor.

Everyone was somewhat shocked when she said she wanted to be a doctor. Because usually Gina always wanted to do study computer science as she is fascinated by them since she was a child.

Everyone is anxious and excited to meet her after so long and take her into their arms. After all, she is their little princess. There is not even a single day they didn't call her just to see her.

John and Alex are pacing back and forth since they are informed that Gina landed and is on her way to the mansion.

"Will you both stop moving like that and sit calmly??" Lily stood up frustrated.

"Yeah...It's irritating" Rose huffed in annoyance.

"But-" John was cut off by his wife.

"No buts!!! Both of you get your asses here and sit down. She is our daughter too and I am excited too. So don't make this wait irritating" Ruby spoke in a stern voice.

Alex and John silently sat down thinking it is better to listen to them instead of talking back.

On the other side, Ric is excited to see his love after 17 years. Everyone thinks he is obsessed with her, but only he knows how much he loves her. And he never bothered to clarify them.

Since he become the King 9 years ago, he always put tabs on her and checked on her all time. He even visited her sometimes without her knowledge just to feel her presence.

Ric is now sitting on the bench near the pool looking into the woods. He is now thinking about how to approach her.

As much as he knows she has never been in a relationship. She would always reject everyone right away as soon as they approach her.

Will she reject him too right away??

Will she ever be interested in him??

Will she be HIS forever??

His thoughts were broken when he heard the most angelic voice.

"How can you be so lost that you can't even notice my presence??"

Ric turned back to see his love standing arms crossed. He didn't register what she said, so he asked her to repeat it again.

"I asked how can you be a King when you can't sense someone's presence who is right behind you??" Gina asked raising an eyebrow.

"From how long have you been standing here??" Ric asked.

"I have been here for 15 minutes and you didn't even notice" Gina asked shocked. "Where have you been lost??"

Ric stood up and slowly walked towards Gina while she moved back at the same pace. She hit the tree behind her and soon got caged in the arms of Ric.

"You want to know where I was lost??" Ric questioned looking deeply into her eyes and he can sense Gina's racing heartbeat. He smirked thinking of the effect he has on her.

"Y.....yes" Gina stuttered in this close proximity. She has never let someone this close to anyone and here Ric just entered her zone so easily.

Ric bent forward and whispered right in her ear "I was thinking about you!!!" He nibbled her earlobe and kissed it. He immediately left from there leaving Gina there in a trance.

Gina stood there like a statue until someone was nudged by her shoulder. She turned to see a confused Rio.

"Is everything okay doll??" Rio asked looking concerned.

"Ye...yeah. All fine" Gina mentally facepalmed for stuttering.

"Is there any problem?? You know you can tell me right??" Rio reassuringly said.

Even if Rio can be aggressive and short-tempered, he always maintains his cool near Gina. He loves her as a sister so much that he couldn't even raise his voice.

"No, Nothing" Gina spoke somewhat confident this time.

"Fine then!!" Rio said suspiciously but didn't drag it further.

"But what are you doing here alone when everyone is waiting for you inside??" Rio asked remembering why he actually came outside.

When John and Alex lost their patience they called the driver to know where they are. When the driver informed them that they already reached and said that Gina has asked him to stop near the pool and asked him to go.

So Rio moved out immediately in search of Gina even before his Godfathers can react because he knows how it ends if they are going to take this into their hands.

"Umm....while I entered the estate I saw this pool and stopped here first" Gina hid whatever happened before between her and Ric as she is still confused too.

"Let's go then!! Everyone is waiting for you. If they don't see you in the next few minutes, a search team will be sent for you" Gina laughed at his words and both moved together towards the elders' mansion.

As soon as she reached the living room, Gina is engulfed in a bear hug and heard her mother and aunts squealing. She hugged the attackers by their necks as she very well know who they are.

She knows that her father and Godfather are not going to let her out of their sight from now. Not after seeing me after this long.

Even if John is jealous and doesn't like it, Alex insists Gina call him father as well. And he always treated her like his own daughter too.

"I missed you Principessa" Alex exclaimed.

"I missed you too Padre" Gina said smiling.

"So, You didn't miss me then??" John pouted.

"I missed you too Papa" Gina said kissed John's cheek to which he raised his eyebrows and smirked looking at Alex to get his reaction which he got.

"So, I don't get your kiss??" Now Alex whined like a baby.

Gina shook her head looking at their childishness. She can see two children beyond their huge figures are fighting with each other for their favorite toy.

But she always feels lucky that she got such a protective and loving father and Godfather. Not to mention those overprotective uncles too.

Even when she was a child, there is nothing she didn't get. If she is said no by her mother or aunts, she would get that with those puppy eyes of hers from her fathers and uncles. Because she very well knew that they could never resist her.

So she would take the utmost advantage of that fact. She did the same even when she wanted to pursue medicine while the rest wanted her to come back and study here.

"If you both will excuse, we even want to meet our daughter" Sarah spoke.

Gina broke the hug which John and Alex didn't like but let her go as they know how much they missed her. Gina went to her mother and aunts.

She hugged her mother first and then followed by her aunts, uncles, and her brothers. Her eyes moistened at this moment. She is feeling content being with her family.

At times like these, everyone misses their Padre and Madre. Andre and Katherine would be so happy to see their kids and grandkids now.

Andre died 15 years ago in natural death. He is content even at the last moments that he spent quality time with his wife and his family.

He never thought that he could see all his family together like that. But looking at them all standing together and with each other made him take his last breath in peace with a smile on his face.

This took a toll on Katherine's mental health. She couldn't take the fact that her lover left her. Despite the constant support from her family, she died after a few months unable to digest the news.

There is not even a single day in all these years when the children missed them badly. Every time some good happens they wish their parents were here to see how happy their kids are.

"Okay okay....why don't we go and eat something. I am feeling hungryyyyy" Nikolai exclaimed to which everyone burst out into laughter.

Everyone sat outside on the lawn talking with one another. Even Ric is present too. Gina started saying about her experience in London during her university days.

Her family is listening to her intently. While Ric was lost in her. Her face, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her waist, her legs everything amazes him.

No matter how many beautiful women he has seen, no one can ever be more beautiful than her. He wanted her to be his first so he never let any woman near him.

He knows he is not completely virgin for her as he too used women for his release purpose, but he has never gone more than a blowjob. He wanted to have his first time only with her.

He was brought back from his thoughts when his mobile pinged with a message. As soon as he saw the message he abruptly stood up and started to leave in hurry.

"Where are you going??" Sarah asked her son.

"I have some important work and I should leave" Ric spoke normally without causing any suspicion.

Ric has gained control over his emotions completely since he became King. He is so good that even his family can't see the real feeling no matter how hard they tried.

"I need to go. I will join you all at dinner" saying that he left to the mansion where the younger ones live. He immediately reached his office and called someone hurriedly.

But what Ric doesn't know is that there is someone watching his every movement and reading his every feeling beyond what he shows.
