“Ah, that Steven murmured, glancing at the basket by his side. He stepped closer and gently lifted the tiny bundle nestled within. Cradling the baby in his arms, he coned softly. “It’s a baby… a sweet little boy 

Little Pedro’s eyes widened in surprise. “A baby?” he gasped, curiosity lighting up his face. 

As he watched his father hold the infant, his excitement bubbled over. “Dad, can I hold the baby? Please? Please, please, pleeccase? he begged, clasping his hands together in eager anticipation. 

Steven chuckled, amused by his son’s enthusiasm. “The baby is very delicate. Pedro. What if she slips out of your hands?” he said, continuing to rock the baby gently 

“I won’t, I promise! I’ll be super careful!” Pedro pleaded, his voice tinged with desperation. 

After a moment’s hesitation, Steven relented. “Alright. But you must be extra careful, okay?” He adjusted Pedro’s arms and carefully placed the baby in them, making sure she was secure. Watching his son handle the baby with such care made him smile with pride. 

For a moment, Little Pedro’s mind went blank. The only thing he could focus on was the tiny, sleeping baby in his arms. A warm, giddy feeling spread through him as he admired her delicate features and peaceful expression. 

“Dad,” Pedro asked softly, still mesmerized, “whose baby is this? Is he my little brother?” 

“No, she’s a girl,” Steven chuckled. “And she’s not your little sister.” 

“Then who is she, Dad?” Pedro asked, his curiosity growing. 

Steven thought for a moment before a mischievous smile spread across his face. “She’s your future queen.” he said with a playful glint in his eye. 

“My queen?” Pedro repeated in wonder. After a moment, he giggled, clearly thrilled by the idea. “Yes! She’s my future queen!” 

“Does she have a name?” Pedro asked, brushing his fingers gently against the baby’s cheek. 

“Her name is Lily,” Steven replied. 

A big smile spread across Pedro’s face as he whispered softly, “Hello, little Lily. I’m Pedro, and you’re my future queen. As if she had understood his words, Lily’s eyes fluttered open, and a small laugh escaped her lips. 

“Dad, look!” Pedro exclaimed, his voice brimming with joy. “She’s looking at me! And she’s smiling! See? She understands me!” 

Pedro laughed happily, gazing at the baby with sparkling eyes. He held her tiny hand as if sealing a promise. “My beautiful little queen,” he said, his voice full of affection, “you’ll always stay with me, won’t you 

The baby seemed to respond, holding his finger tightly. Pedro beamed with pride and joy. 

Over the next two days, Pedro dedicated himself to taking care of Lily. Each morning, the first thing he did was check on her. He fed her, played with her, and talked to her endlessly. At night, he kissed her goodnight before falling asleep beside her. For Pedro, life had become brighter with his little queen by his side.

center of his world. But the next morning, his father sat him down with a grave expression and delivered heartbreaking news. 

“The baby can’t stay with us,” Steven 

Said firmly 

“Why not?” Pedro cried, clutching the baby tighter as tears streamed down his face. “Why can’t she stay. Dad? Why can’t she live with us?” His voice cracked with desperation, and his sobs seemed to distress the baby, who began crying as well. 

Steven sighed heavily, his face etched with sorrow. “She isn’t safe here, Pedro. You have to understand. Those three families are after us. If she stays, she’ll be in danger. I can’t risk her life.” 

Pedro trembled as his father’s words sank in. Tears blurred his vision as he kissed the baby gently on the forehead. His voice wavered as he whispered, “Okay. With a heavy heart, he wiped the tears from his face and placed the baby in his father’s arins. 

But before his father could leave, Pedro suddenly ran to his room. Moments later, he returned clutching a small bracelet, Carefully, he tied it around the baby’s tiny wrist and held her close one last time. 

“My little queen,” he murmured through his tears, “this is my gift to you. Through this, I’ll always be with you, no matter where you are. His voice broke as he made a solemn promise, “Wait for me. One day, I’ll come back for you. I promise. 

With one final kiss on her cheek, he reluctantly handed her to his father. The baby began crying again as if she understood what was happening, her wails echoing through the room. 

Steven sighed, cradling the baby as he walked away. That night, Pedro cried himself to sleep, his heart shattered by the loss. 

The next day, he waited anxiously for his father to return, but he didn’t. One day turned into two, then three, yet there was no sign of him. 

It wasn’t until days later that Uncle Noel brought the devastating news. 

“Your father… he’s not coming back,” Uncle Noel said softly, his voice filled with grief. “Those three families… they killed him. And now, they’re coming for you.” 

Pedro’s world crumbled in an instant. Rage and heartbreak consumed him. He stood silently as Uncle Noel helped him pack what little they could carry. Before leaving. Pedro turned to look at the house one last time. Then, with a determined glare, he set it ablaze, watching the flames consume every memory of his former life. 

Fleeing with Uncle Noel, Pedro swore an unbreakable oath: “One day, I will return. I’ll take back everything they stole from pay for what they’ve done.”
