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... So are you still in touch with your dad? " Malisa inquired carefully..." Once in a while... " " Oh... " " By the way, Isa. Are you sti

>* Even if it's difficult, you must try to normalize your life as best as you can. ***** Gabriella always thought her Dad was the best father and king... 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

' 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...

>* Don't complain about the pain because without it, we won't be able to reach the fullness of our destiny. *****Inside a large library in one of the mansions at the borders of Paris which is completely surrounded by waters... 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... Despite the fact that he wasn't wearing anything special he still had the unique aura of an emperor... The simple turtleneck white long sleeve top and black trousers didn't stop his beauty from being ensued... He was the complete definition of a French beauty with his curly black hair and green orbs... He sipped from his cup of coffee every five minutes... All his movements were very graceful... Even the minute ones were orderly... The young man continued studying undisturbed for some minutes until a knock was heard at the door. "

>* Nothing is impossible. The only thing that is impossible is what you make impossible. *****A week later... Malisa received a call from an unknown number... At first she hesitated on picking the call.. but she changed her mind and picked it up... " Hey, Isa! " Gabriella's enthusiastic voice rang out from the other end surprising, Malisa... " Sis, it's you. " " Yes. I got your number from Mary. " " Okay... So how are you, sis? "" I'm completely fine! You won't believe where I am now. " " Hm... I can't guess sis! " Malisa found it difficult to think of anything...." You are no fun, Isa. " She Chuckled. " Why don't you tell me where you are instead, Sis? " Malisa was burning with curiosity. " Well... I am currently living in Emperor Francis' mansion... " " Emperor Francis? Isn't that, Aiden's Childhood friend? How is it possible that you are with him, sis? " " Well... It's a lot of stories... I promise to tell you all about it later. I just want you to know that

>* Push yourself to become the person you are destined to become. *****Aiden who somehow knew she would ask that question paused a while before answering her carefully... He too had asked himself this particular question many times... Why did he love interfering in everything that concerned Malisa and her friends? Is it because of the fact that she was now his legal wife according to law or what? Or perhaps because he cared a lot about her? Or maybe it's the two? Whatever it was, he just felt it was normal for him to lend a helping hand to Gabriella since she's Malisa's friend. " I just did what anyone would have done, Mali... " " I know... But not in this case... What you did wasn't just what anyone would have done. You didn't really have to interfere but you did... " " Mali... Let's say, I did that for some selfish reasons... " Indeed, Aiden also had some selfish motive behind what he did... He was aware of how uninterested his friend had been in women...

>* If you quit on your dream and give up. You'll never know how great you can be. *****" I am really glad, Mary has a brother like you who is willing to guide her all the way... " Malisa said sincerely as she took the last sip of her tea, before dropping the glass carefully on saucer which was on the table. " Hm... She's also lucky to have a sister like you, you know... There's a limit to what I can do. When she gets to her middle teens there will be a lot of things I won't be able to help her with both physically, emotionally and mentally... " " You are right, I guess... " " By the way, how did you cope in your middle teens? " Aiden inquired... " Well...it wasn't that difficult as I kept all my thoughts to myself and only spoke when I was asked to. I never shared my dreams and desires with anyone, not with my mom as I knew she'd only end up laughing at me to scorn if I did. So I kept it all to myself. " " Hm... That must be hard. " " Yeah... It was. But it got bett

Malisa and Franchine were discussing at the school canteen during free periods." So you began your training in the military at age 15? " Malisa asked, '' Franchine who was munching on some chips in front of her... " No... 14. I graduated highschool at age fourteen so I enrolled into the military that year too.. " " Wow. Really? " " 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? " Malisa inquired with a shocked expression." Yep... Do I look that young? " She smiled... " Of course you do. I thought you were nineteen or twenty... " Malisa said truthfully... " Well... 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

>* God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself. *****The first day at college was nothing like, Malisa had probably expected it to be like....Contrary to what she had been expecting, there were many black students too... 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. " Good day, Madame. " The lad

" The head Judge said as he presented the golden award to Malisa... Malisa accepted the award with shaky hands but the moment she received the award... 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... " Malisa replied with a bow... Later, after all the formalities had been done and Malisa and she received her cheque too... She headed backstage where Mary and Aiden were waiting for her...

While waiting for the results the family of three went on a vacation to New York as Malisa also prepared for the singing competition she was to participate in..****The night before the competition, Malisa couldn't sleep as she just kept tossing and turning... Mary, who was in the room with her, got very worried and went out to the other room to talk to her brother about what's going on... Aiden was just preparing to sleep when he heard the knock at the door... After finding out that the one at the door was Mary, he gave her the permission to enter .. and she did.

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. " He said, opening the door and then holding out his hand towards her..Malisa smiled, taking his hand. " Merci. " " You are welcome.

Malisa, who was wearing a simple flare gown and sandals, walked ahead of Aiden to the car.Unlike other days, Aiden was putting on something more casual... Just a simple Chelsea shirt and pants... 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... Aiden had decided that he was going to take it out that day as it's been a while since he last took the vehicle out for a ride... " The car looks very new Indeed.
