* Merry Christmas, guys! *
---- Mary's POV ----
The woman is so very annoying! How dare she insult my sister that way? Who does she think she is anyway?
I felt like strangling her, if not for Sis Malisa that held me back then I was certain that I would have done something that we all might regret.
We continued our shopping quietly, I didn't even want to stay there any longer, the woman just spoilt my mood!
Ugh! How much I hate her!
While we continued shopping, someone barged into us, all of a sudden making Sis Malisa and I lose our balance.
The fellow apologized and we let it go since well it was an accidental so.
We went over to the cashier to pay for our items when an alarm bell rang all of a sudden in the mall startling all of us.

President Aiden Evans was signing some important documents when his office door burst open all of a sudden interrupting him. He raised his head and saw that it was his assistant.

When Mary and Malisa were about to head to their rooms on the west wing when, Aiden's voice stopped them, " Please, Wait. " They both paused their steps and turned to look back at him. Seeing their hands still joined together he sighed inwardly, " Em, Malisa can you come to see me in the study after freshening up? " He said trying to keep his voice as soft as possible to avoid scaring the girl. Malisa and Mary stared at each other before they turned back to him, " Alright, I'll.." Malisa Replied softly. " Okay. " Aiden placed his hands back into his pants pockets before turning to head to his room on the east wing. Malisa and Mary then went to separate their rooms.

Chapter 26Malisa's thoughts.<<< Malisa's POV >>>I was very Suprised by Aiden's attitude, he was kinder and nicer than I thought.I still can't help, but think about what his ulterior motive for being so nice to me is.Though I am not aware of what it was but I somehow feel like it won't hurt me in any way and might even help me.Does that sound crazy? Or stupid?I am not sure about that.Anyways, I tried clearing my mind as I headed to Mary's room.I got in and found the latter sleeping, I stared at her for minutes before deciding to leave but before I could take a step, I heard her mumbling, " please don't go.

Don't be afraid to dream!!! *Slowly but steadily, Malisa opened her eyes and slowly began to adjust to the light in the room. She sat up and looked around, she was in a daze for a while before she recalled everything that happened.She had never felt so pain-free during her periods as she often had to go around bearing the pain as no medicines were recommended in her village for it.It's believed there that since the pain is part of being a woman than women just had to bear it no matter how painful it was.Cruel right?She never thought it to be a cruel act then but she does now.'

At first he was confused but he noticed that as he walked towards Malisa's room... The voice grew louder. And then it dawned on him that it was Malisa singing... He listened carefully to the beautiful sonorous voice taking the lead... At first he was wondering if Mary had brought her friends home... But then he recognized that voice.. It was Malisa's! O gosh! It sounded like the voice of an angel... He couldn't deny that his heart skipped a beat as she sang out loud with emotions laden in her voice. It almost felt like she was singing from her heart and experience... That made him wonder... Because as far as he knew, Malisa was never in a relationship so... Or perhaps it's because she was so talented at singing that she could

They did this for some hours before they were dismissed when the music instructor was finally satisfied with the piece... They had produced. As their car was parked outside the campus, Malisa and Franchine had to walk through the campus. Due to this they were able to watch the grand valentine day ceremony in their college...

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?

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...
