Hidden Hearts Ranch

why I do this.

Sang

As the morning went on, and speaking with daddy, Victor finally had the courage to speak with me, he apologized for everything, said no matter what happens, I would always be his princess and he would love to be back in my life in whatever capacity I'll take him, this seemed to please daddy, but daddy was still unsure and so was I, with the new threat over my head, and more if my past being revealed,would they run again or stick true to their words and stay by myside and fight,cause if a man like volto can scare them, how will they react to a crown prince who doesn't deserve to be on his thrown.

Just as daddy and I were speaking about the events I had to attend not only as the Irish princess,but also as a princess to the underground we heard a bunch of people singing, at this point the ring was cleared for the final event of the day, which is usually the bull riding. So it was empty, but not as empty as one might think, cause coming across the ring were a. Bunch of kids and among them was Devin, my pride and joy, Devin was ten when I found him hiding in his bedroom closet, that day I had gone to  his house with his new prosthetic arm, the way we designed it was special to him and I wanted to present it to him personally before I took off to Italy for Mafia stuff. But when I got to the door I heard screaming and yelling,that's when I heard the gun shot seems his father killed his mother and took it upon himself and shot himself. So while I called the police, I went in search of him and found him hiding in his closet, as soon as he saw me he lunged for me and held on with all his might,I hard time.prying him off of me. He ended up staying with me for a couple of weeks cause he couldn't handle it, but eventually he got the help he needed to overcome what happened and thanks to daddy was adopted into a wonderful Italian family,one that daddy retire from the Mafia to come to America, one that knew how to protect their familia at all costs and now here he is growing up right before my eyes and is looking happy,.

They are all singing angels among us , and headed straight for the podium area.
Tim looks to me and says Princess, friends of yours?

I just nodded my head yes, with unshed tears. With Maddy by myside I stand up and walk down to the group of children, mama lily and her guys with them and my little brother Dylan, this seem to draw the attention of the Blackbourne team and my guys just watched from their post,they know what I do and why I do it,they have seen me in action with half of these kids,they too have helped at the various ranches when time permitted. Dad and I reached the ring just as the group stood in front of us,

Devin have me a huge hug and whispered thank you I'm my ear, and I just hugged a little tighter.

He made. Speech

Sorry Sang, I'm not going to call you princess today, cause to me your more of angel, you rescued me from my home, you gave me shelter,,not only in your home,but in your arms Everytime I needed you,you were there for me,you were there for all of us, if we called you,you dropped everything to make sure we were taken care of. If it was an emergency and you couldn't get to us,one of your guys would show up,and as scary as some of them look,they were always gentle with us, you would always teach us how to use code words so that when they came and used a certain code word with us we knew they were there to help and not harm us, for that we are greatful. And want to present you with a gift

That's it I couldn't help but the tears fall, and I hugged each and everyone of them, I asked Owen to come down and join us, I said Mr. Blackbourne,Owen you once told me to believe in myself, believe in others, and that's what I did, I started to have faith in myself, have faith that I could make my dreams come true,so with the help of my papa, my uncle's, I did make that come true,and it's still growing thanks to the generous donations that came in all week and then the donations of this weekend and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, and inform you all that I have received word that angel mountain ranch has just been finished and awaits it's new family.

The crowds cheered on that, and Owen asks me how I know these children, I said well Owen, not am I only the Irish princess, but I'm also the owner of five ranches, including both Hidden Hearts.not only the one in Texas but the one here in Charleston.

He just looks at me in awe and some emotion I cane ide what it is. Well since I'm giving up news now is as good as any,

Also another announcement I'd like to make, and this is where I pick up Dylan and whisper it to him

He just beams, cause he knows what it means.

I ask Dr. Roberts and Dr. Sean to come  join us. And as they did I introduced Dylan to papa and Owen about him being my little brother that mama lily and her guys adopted.

As Dr. Roberts and Dr. Sean appeared and stood next to us I announce that with the funds raised this weekend from our generous donors we are able to build and complete the (academy) hospitals children wing. To which they both shed a few tears of happiness, thanked me, I also announced with that now that the funds were Available, hidden Hearts can go ahead and raise the cow barn and announced that the sound space has been finished and open for the kids to use.

After the emotional speeches, we all returned to our seats and the only thing Victor said was princess,that was amazing.
I just said thank you, with the bull riding competition underway, Owen and Victor asked about hidden Hearts Ranch, they also thanked me for my gifts,they also asked how I managed to get them delivered  without anyone being seen, I ignored that question,that's my little secret literally, I think the only answer I have them was I knows little leprechaun. To which they just shook their heads with a smile, I know they have bigger questions and plenty more to ask, but papa and I hushed the when it was Codys turn to ride, I screamed when he did it. And came out safe.

Now sitting back in our seats Silas has returned to be a. Body guard, I looked at daddy and he just nodded my head to go and ask, I knew that Silas wanted to see his home again, and dad talked me into asking him if he wanted to go, figured it would be a good time for us to bond and to get a feel for if he truly wants back or is about to run when he finds out how deep into the underground my roots go. With my mom and grandmom establishing themselves and bring in underground allies it's hard to say who I'm connected to, Im just starting to find out myself,it's a journey I'm not sure the Blackbourne team is ready for,but I can only ask. I leave in about two weeks after all plenty of time to tuck tail and run. The Kalo-toma team is already on board and will be with me every step of the way. So with that I squeeze papas hand and get up to walk towards Silas. Feeling the states of the others in my back.
