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

It never stopped bleeding... From that time since I watched that scene which was the definition of brutality...I can still recall... How the woman's hair was being pulled with the amount of force that it fell out....The scene... Was something I'll never forget...Though, I happened to watch scenes of women being abused in public... But none got to me as much as that did....Perhaps it's because... That involved a fetus who lost it's life due to brutality and a woman who was murdered in cold blood...I can still envision the tear and blood stained face of that woman as she was beaten... Not once did she complain... She endured it all silently... Till she was killed...Her life was snatched from her like it was nothing at all... Everywhere, people talked about her... Their names...

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.
