"Alex, I promise I'm good and that I can walk. You don't need to carry me around everywhere, everyone is looking at us," I exclaimed and hid my face in his chest, trying to avoid the stares around me.

The only response , I got, in return was Alex tightening his hold around me, right now we are on our way out of the airport to our way car so that we could finally head home.

The flight back was pretty comfortable because Alex made sure there was a literal cushion wall all around me, and over that, I was being fed every two to three hours.

As much as this felt new and uncomfortable, I liked it.

No, I loved it.

I love being taken care of by Alex, he's been treating me as though I am a broken glass and, admittedly, he is going a little overboard but, this is the first time someone is looking after me and, I am secretly in love with each and every passing moment.

Alex helped me settle in the car and got in himself while signaling the driver to get started.

"There is, someone waiting for you at home," Alex said while I looked up at him with a confused expression.

"Waiting, For me?"

Who'd wait for me?

"You are talking about Maya or Ian, right?" I asked and, Alex shook his head, indicating a no.

Who else could it be?

"Mary, is it Mary?" Once again, Alex shook his head, indicating a no.

A pout graced my face, unknowingly, I pulled on the sleeve of Alex's shirt like I always do when I want to get his attention, "who is it then?"

Alex looked up from his iPad, on which he was reading some reports from and tilted his head slightly.

"Wait, it is supposed to be a surprise" I frowned.

"Tell me, pleaseeee?" I whined a little and noticed that the ends of Alex's lips lifted up a little and disappear just as soon as they appeared.

"You have to wait for it, princess," Alex said and got back to reading his report while I sat there, frozen.

Princess?

Me?

Alex's princess?

I looked down at my ring finger and felt my face heat up.

Alex's princess, just like he is my safe.

I smiled and turned to look outside the window only to get lost in my train of thoughts, with a smile embracing my face.

I am someone's princess now too, mom.

I am safe's princess.

A princess, who's going to save her prince.

Soon.

♥️

I felt butterflies in my stomach as Alex put me back on my legs and opened the door to our apartment.

Our.

The moment the door opened, Maya came towards me and gave me a tight hug "hello darling, are you holding up well? I heard you got injured?"

I smiled brightly and nodded, "I am good. Alex took a lot of care of me."

Maya smiled back and ruffled Alex's hair a little, "Did he, really?"

Alex grumbled a few curses here and there and started combing his messy hair through his fingers, trying to set them back in place.

"Let's go in," Alex said and supported my waist as I tried walking towards my room only to be pulled back.

I looked up at Alex, frowning, but Alex shrugged and led me towards his bedroom.

"Sleep here, I need to take care of you" my eyes probably grew twice the size they were as looked up at Alex, astonished.

"I'm fine, I swear. I've had much worse. To be honest, I can run around if you'd ask me to," Alex narrowed his eyes at me, "Don't you dare"

I slowly sat down on the bed and sighed.

I was honestly, perfectly fine. The only reason I did not want to share the same room as Alex is because of my personal habits, like changing my contact lenses or more of my scars coming into view and whatnot.

Just when I was about to pull up my legs onto the bed, I felt something tickle my toes. I looked down and squealed out of happiness, "furball, my furball! "

The baby doggo, that I found on the day we were leaving for our trip was now standing by leg looking a lot more healthier than before making my heart swell with happiness.

I bent down and picked the baby boy up and placed him on my lap.

"How are you doggo, do you feel better now? You're so tiny and cute" I continued squealing as the baby boy barked back at me as if trying to answer me.

"Is he the surprise that you were talking about? I love him so much. Thank you, Safe" I said and looked up to Alex giving him my biggest possible smile.

Alex ran his hands through his hair again and relaxed his shoulders, "yes, he is the surprise. I'll go freshen up now"

Alex said and headed towards the washroom and for some unknown reason, I felt bold enough to stand up and back hug Alex.

I placed my head on his shoulders and sighed happily, "I am very thankful, I really am. For you and for everything you do for me. Thank you so much"

Alex cleared his throat softly and turned around to look at me, "don't worry about it, just rest up for now while I do and freshen up"

I nodded understandingly and went back to play with the doggo.

I understood that Alex found it difficult to express his feelings. He is so used to suppressing what he feels that he doesn't even realize he's doing it at the moment and, even though he might seem a little cold, his actions speak volumes for him.

A sudden bark pulled me out of my thoughts as I looked back at the doggo curled up by my side.

"What should I name you, hmm?" I asked the little furball as he wriggled his tailed around.

"How about, Champ? I know it sounds bad but, to me you're a Champion and, I want to be like you. Now that I think about it, we are both so similar. We've both been kicked out and unaccepted by our families but, just like you, I want to grow up and fight for myself too, Champ. Do you think that I can do it?" I looked down at the furball while he barked back at me and suddenly jumped on me, licking my face clean.

"You trust me, don't you? I'll be able to fight for myself and Alex, right?"

The only response I got was another big, sloppy, and wet lick.

♥️

"I have a very important meeting, in the evening today, take care until then, alright?" Alex asked and, I nodded while Champ's small form rested in my arms.

"When will you be back?" I asked and put Champ down to fix Alex's crooked tie.

"My meeting starts at around 3 pm, so maybe around 7 in the evening?" I smiled.

Perfect.

I stepped back from the close proximity that I just stood at to fix Alex's tie only to be pulled back in his arms, "I'm serious, take care. I don't care if you're feeling better now or not, You are going to be on bed rest until our wedding."

Not possible, Safe.

I've promised myself, to love you more than I love myself.

I nodded enthusiastically, hiding away any and every trace of what was happening in my mind. I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed his cheeks lightly and pushed him towards the elevator softly.

With that, Alex went inside the elevator and, the doors soon closed as I said goodbye to Alex, maybe for the last time?

I quickly ran back to my room with Champ on my toe and closed the door.

It's now or never.

There is a little less than one week left, to Alex and my wedding and, seeing how Alex is acting, he probably won't leave my side and continue taking care of me.

The only thing on my mind is that I've promised Xander and myself, that I'll protect Alex with my life.

The paper that Alex wants, to prove that the car's design was his dad's idea, has two original copies. One that is with Sir and the other is with Harry because he is the financial advisor of the company.

Walking to Sir's office and stealing the papers, is absolutely impossible. One, because Sir can differentiate between Sara and me with his eyes closed and two because he has two different lockers in his office.

On the other hand, Harry would also probably be able to know whether it is Sara or me but, if I act well enough then, I might be able to get away with it. Plus, Harry has one single locker in the office.

My only worry is that, if Harry finds out that it's me and not Sara, he'll probably end up scaring my soul once again and, I-I do-don't know if I'll be a-able to p-pick up my broken p-pieces again.

I shivered at the thought of the blade I held above my hand years ago.

You can do think Sierra, for your Alex.

For safe.

I took in a deep breath and opened my closet, looking for something that matches Sara's taste.

Let's get this game started.
