>* If you want to live a life of success and happiness, you must find your purpose. *****As Malisa wasn't expecting him to ask her that question out of the blue. She thought long and hard before replying to him, rather thoughtfully... As she knew that her answer mattered to him a lot...She could tell from his expression when he asked that question. Well... She had learned to read expressions and also the eyes..There's a saying that, The body could lie but the eyes doesn'tIt reflects one's feelings and expression. It's no wonder some couples instruct the other to look into his or her eyes when speaking... It's said that, one that is lying wouldn't have the confidence to look directly into the eyes of the other as his confidence would betray him when he looks straight into the eyes of the other. She had also read cases of people saying. " Look into my eyes and tell me you love me. " They say this because, they realized that without him even saying, they would alrea

>*No matter how many times you've gotten knocked down. Your purpose pulls you up stronger.***** * Happy 50 chapters, guys! * After waiting in the car for several minutes with no sign of Mary, Aiden suggested that they alight from the car to check on her.

And the students were all orderly as they left their classrooms heading to their various homes... Their uniforms were also clean and the colors were attractive. It looked very smart on the students... Malisa smiled seeing some of the students holding hands while some were even hugging and pecking..She wasn't too surprised by this as she had read lots about it in novels... Though she never expected the students to be so showy about it... But well... It's what it is...." I wonder where Maria is. " She heard Aiden say... " She would be around. Why don't you give her a call? " Malisa suggested

" Gabi nodded as she allowed Malisa to pull her towards the siblings duo... " So, here it is, Aiden Evans... My savior... " Malisa began... Her way of introduction surprised them really... Only then did they all realize how unpredictable Malisa really was... " Aiden, meet Gabriella... My best friend and Soul sister... " She continued. " Salut, President Evans... " Gabi greeted me with a bow... While the rest were surprised by this, Aiden wasn't... He had heard a lot about Gabriella and knew about all her activities... Though the latter wasn't aware of this as she thought they were meeting for the first time. Only if she knew... " Bonjour, Princess Gabriella... " Aiden responded to her greeting in the same manner... Though, he didn't bow... " Hm, Sis, meet Mary Evans... My little Angel. " Malisa still felt

They took note of her expressions, reactions and body movement...Only then did they realize that something was wrong, really wrong... Though, Aiden already knew what it was already. But Mary and Malisa were ignorant of it. " It does look like Sis Gabi is in trouble... " Mary commented. " Yeah... She has always been calm and composed even in the toughest situations so I wonder what is wrong exactly. " Malisa commented... She wasn't just saying what she was for the mere fun of it as she was speaking from experience... Gabriella had learned not to show her emotions in public and to always remain calm and composed.. this was a trait that all princesses should have... It's said that this trait will help them to escape being victims of emotional blackmail... Though, Malisa believed that there was more to it

" I am very sorry for keeping you all waiting. " She said with a smile... She acted like nothing happened and that she was fine... Just like Malisa and the others expected. " It's alright... " " Hm... So can we go now? " Aiden inquired..." Sure! " Soon, the car was set in motion... " So how long have you been here, Sis? " Malisa initiated a conversation to keep up the ambience in the car..." Well... Three years ago. Dad sent me here to further my education. " " Okay... So what about crowned princess and second princess? " " Well... Crowned princess got married two years ago. The Second Princess had been engaged since last year. " " Okay...

Who ruled his people with kindness and love... But when she grew up, she realized how wrong she was... Later, she thought he was only like that to his villagers and not to this family... But this thought of hers changed when... Unintentionally... She stumbled upon a scene where her dad was abusing one of his concubines... The scene she saw made it impossible for her to breathe for some minutes.... As her brain literally stopped... She couldn't believe that her Dad could do something like that to a lady... Never in her weirdest imagination did she think it to be true... At first, she tried convincing herself that she was seeing wrongly... But the truth was right in front of her! And when she confronted her, Dad about it... He claimed that the Woman deserved to be treated that way... He also claimed th

Mary who was beside her noticed it and simply held her hand tightly... This small action brought Gabriella out of her thoughts... She whipped out her tears before giving Mary a small smile... ' Indeed, Mary is like a descending angel to me... ' Gabriella unconsciously thought... ****They all got to one of the most frequent yet private restaurants in town...

A young man sat on one of the chairs reading through historical books... His fingers moved every two minutes to turn over the page... He had spectacles which rested on his nose bridge...

" " Yep. So I served there for like 7 years before then traveling to Beijing where I practiced martial arts for 3 years before coming back earlier this year. " " Oh my! So you are 24?

I guess I have got a nice body build then... " " Yeah... So what's your plan now? " " Nothing much... Just studying music

Franchine was responsible for driving Malisa home. The two young ladies were on their way to the car when their road was blocked all of a sudden by some ladies and men. Malisa was indeed surprised at this... She somehow had expected a confrontation but not on the first day... Like today! At least they should be allowed to breathe freely before confronting them... Malisa and Franchine both paused in their steps simultaneously as they awaited the other party's reaction. The other party consisted of three ladies and a man all dressed alike.It goes without saying that there were cult members. And, Malisa wondered what they have got to do with them. Since they never showed signs of being interested in the cult in the first place.So why...Franchine on the other hand wasn't a bit surprised at their confro

Just like her. Those she recognized as black Americans. There were also many Indians and Chinese.There were practically people from different continents...So she didn't feel any awkwardness as she had expected she would feel. Wait, could it be possible that Aiden knew about this fact and that's why he chose this college especially for her and also assured her that she'll be fine. Malisa couldn't help smiling at this thought... She often wondered how caring and loving he could be to her... While all the new students sat in the registration hall waiting for the vice Chancellor of the school to address them...Malisa felt a presence beside her, looking up she saw a young looking lady around her age or above.

She became confident once again and lifted the awards up in the air. " I did it! " Only those who knew of her story would be able to understand the deeper meaning behind her words... Though some other people could feel the intense emotions in those three lettered words too... " Congratulations, Miss Bree... " Another Judge congratulated her too with a smile... " Thanks...

So how is it possible that there's one going on without her knowledge?Well... I guess she had forgotten that she can only know about something that Aiden wanted her to. If he didn't want her to know then there's no way she would. " So what do you think of my surprise? " Aiden's voice Interrupted her from her thoughts. " It's not bad. " She smiled... " I'll take that as a compliment then... " He said parking the car in the parking lot. Just before Malisa could open the door on her side, he had already turned over and helped her to... " Let me.

His hair was combed very nicely making him look very young and dashing... He didn't look like the usual way he does today.Rather he looked like a college student who was going out on a date. Though the aura of the Presidency was still there... Well... It's not like he could let go of it just because he wanted to anyways... The duo stopped in front of a blue Jeep...
