The Heartless Princess 72
And immediately his admiration lost on the eagle on top of the Mosque, the sound of Call to prayer began to sound from all corners of the neighborhood, indicating the exact time for the beginning of the last prayer of the day. His body moved anxiously as he received Karila's eyes on him with the voice so profoundly affected, the men before eating, left their tables, left all which they did backwards and moved together towards the fearsome surroundings for Lauren.- Let's go. - The princess spoke in a low voice. Leading her body to walk towards the Mosque at the end of the street, her slow steps waiting for Lauren who looked too stunned beside her to say anything. It was so beautiful to hear that, it demonstrated such appalling discipline that it brought shivers to the back of her neck.Karila watched as they approached the entrance to the venue, her eyes on the ground, she didn't lift them."You need to take off your shoes." We will enter the reserved room, you will have to remove

She looked very young when she looked startled at Lauren approaching, thinking that she was a police officer with such a sophisticated outfit all black, it left a different impression.— I don't speak Arabic, English? – Lauren questioned doubtfully in a scratchy Arabic that made the woman nod, still very scared. She was about to run far away, afraid she would be arrested in seconds, looking at a woman with covered face holding a box, wearing expensive clothes with suspicious attitude.— I'm waiting for my sister. – It was a well-crafted lie that made Lauren smile sadly.— I'm not a policeman or anything, I won't report it, I want your services. – He warned low, looking over his shoulder at some people leaving the Mosque in the distance. The young woman made a face looking at her more deeply, she was a woman, she never dealt with a woman...— Is there a man? Only woman? – She asked swallowing hard.Lauren quickly denied, raising her hand in the air.— I don't want these services,

Karila who leads the way into her conference room, making room for the American agent to take her time to sit down, and she does, casually crossing her legs and undoing the buttons on her blazer to free her body from the grip, watching the movement of the princess as she rounds the table and sits in her chair.His silent observation draws Karila's attention, who settles down and looks directly at her.- Then? - She questioned seriously, she wasn't the most satisfied with that visit.Allyson Brooke didn't even consider it as she clasped her hands in front of her.— I don't know you, I don't know who you are except from what I hear. In fact, few people in the West know about it, and everyone knows it based on what they hear, not what they see, that's treacherous, I only trust what I see with my own eyes, that's why I'm here personally, I felt it was a moral duty to be fulfilled since it puts the safety of countrymen at stake. - She spoke in detail, watching Karila not show any reacti

Karila knew it wouldn't do any good to walk in the opposite direction, sooner or later the blonde would know about it.— Snakes. – Allyson's tone was one of surprise mixed with an odd rapture. Her eyes roamed with true fascination over the expanse of treacherous animals on the other side of the glass.“Why do you collect snakes?” – He asked bluntly.— They are very sumptuous animals, flat, intelligent, dominating, I identify myself. Isn't that how people choose their pets? – The princess questioned in a false innocence that made the American laugh without a hint of humor, it was more about being so audacious as to take such a disturbing posture. Allyson worked to get to know her by her actions, she preferred doing it that way to trusting crooked rumours, she had a sense of justice above anything.But he couldn't stop questioning how right other people's mouths were when looking at something like that. His vision wasn't disturbing at all, it just appeared to be different, he imagin

The exit from the mansion was like the other times, the difference was having the CIA car in front of the two cars that had Karila, and the other that had Ursel and Lauren, among the fleet of black Corvettes, making clear the priority of the protections there . Allyson wasn't acting like she was being protected, she was protecting and doing her job.Already informed of that visit, as soon as they arrived in the vicinity of Heliopolis, the engineers responsible for the work made it a point to facilitate the entry of the princess of Egypt through the back. Karila led the way out, with so many armed security guards on the sidewalk, she followed Allyson, Lauren and Ursel into the ultramodern building, and her eyes were directly accusing when she saw the image of Al Sisi right in the entrance hall.Their reaction was one of complete rejection of the image, watching the men in suits approach them along the corridor, they seemed anxious, but very flattered with the presence of such an impo

His steps were frantic pacing back and forth in his assigned room in the mansion, his right hand raised to his face, clutching his cell phone, and waiting anxiously for the other end of the line to answer quickly, it wasn't as quick as he wanted, but after a few minutes of pure shallow trying Ursel finally got his call answered.Directly from Marrakesh.“He said he wouldn't bother calling if it wasn't really important, but a presence that wasn't in the script could complicate our plans. – Ursel spoke low so that the walls with ears would not be able to reach and fast enough for the other side to hear well what she had to say.- And who is it? - The voice hissed doubtfully, it seemed just as rushed.— Allyson Brooke, director of the CIA, I don't know her and I've never come across any information about her. To be honest, I don't remember knowing about her at the time when I was assigning the functions in Belgium. – Ursel spoke touching his forehead."Do you think she knows about y

— I say, these are things that it needs listen to put you on your feet in reality. Benazir's death was ordered, everyone knows that even if there is no real evidence released by the media, she was the first woman to be head of state of a Muslim country, this was impressive due to the rare exception of the time, the woman was in exile for years , suffered fierce threats when he was out of his country, but came back for the people, because he knew that Pakistan needed his help, and they need until today... And then, as if by magic, as if the laws of the universe made her pay for defying threats, she was killed with shots and a bomb, taking 20 more dead in that attack, in addition to the 120 who were killed just because she returned to the country, don't you think the power of a woman who loves her people is surreal? The patriotism he has is dazzling, the need to help what is doomed to failure, but I have said all I have to say, I sincerely hope you do not become the next Benazir Bhutto,

Lauren's POVIt seemed practical to understand once we arrived at our destination that threats didn't seem to be around us. I looked skeptically at the splendor of one of the most luxurious hotels in Cairo, nothing with the effects of great Arab influence, but an international standard of luxury that we easily found in the United States and Canada, in the headquarters of the Four Seasons in North America.That detail displeased me, the Egyptian magic seemed to have been erased, even if still wrapped in exaggerated luxury and a large group of tired and dismayed historians with that momentary headache."If that isn't inappropriate, who's paying for our lodging here?" – I asked curiously, watching the director of the CIA come to Ursel's side, holding a leather briefcase in her hands, her eyes covered with sunglasses. She has a very cocky posture, maybe it's a reflection of her nose turned up by the position she holds.— The American government. – He simply spoke, leaving me a few ste

The Heartless Princess Epilogue
She stood straight, watching her reflection in the mirror as her sewing assistant finished adjusting the shoulder straps of her black shirt. There was a lot of serenity in her expression, even if her ever so impetuous brown eyes were still there. Karila Aistarabaw held out her arms wide, feeling the gloved woman's delicate hands tugging at the last remnants of fabric so that the shirt completely covered the waistcoat she wore underneath her clothes.The country was waiting outside, the international press, its supporters, even its antagonists, it was a unique moment in the history of Egypt, which made it swallow several times, sustaining the sobriety of its royal creation. She was a woman who built herself under that role, her upbringing was governed by her parents under the circumstance of power, she was prepared.Her body moved as the final adjustment was made, and the black, gold-embroidered Sherwani tucked into her arms and fell into line with her stance. The golden buds were qu

Princess Egypt watched as the little boy crawled out of bed and stared at her as soon as she issued a summons. Her body curved before him, to match their heights, the awed brown glint in her eyes made her hold back a smile, she wanted to be serious.- Ali, we are moving from here, the elections are close and we will have a new phase in our lives, you will stay with other people, these different from me, people who are good, who will take extreme care of you until the votes pass so that can go toour home. - Karila quoted in a low Arabic, but authoritative enough for the child to understand that it was something serious. She was very intelligent, perhaps she had drawn so many attributes from Mahara that they were unlistable.His careful look showed his education, he was raised by Karila's principles, like a little prince who would show above all respect when he was old enough for everyone, especially women. The princess knew he still couldn't absorb much, but he made himself understoo

Years laterMusic on* More Than That - Lauren JaureguiDoctor Lauren Jauregui acquired respect and wove an impeccable reputation in the years assigned as a professor at Yale, even if her personal life still hovered around the new classes each semester, yet when they were in her class, silence and respect prevailed in every second.It was clear that they were still questioning themselves about their involvement with the missing princess of Egypt, they questioned the background of truth in the photographs even after the hoax was exposed, they wove long rounds of conversations trying to imagine why for 3 years she behaved like a lonely woman, without ever appearing with no one by her side, without any expository amorous bids, they never knew what to imagine coming from the Egyptology professor. The woman who talked about Egypt like no one else.Extremely elegant, in an all-black blazer and straight-cut slacks, she tucked her hands casually into the front pockets of her pants, glancin
The Heartless Princess 117
Months laterLauren Jauregui temporarily moved to Cartagena, Colombia. The first months of her return from Egypt were strange, even for her biological life, her immune system was deregulated like crazy, she couldn't keep up for a week without having some health problem that didn't involve painkillers or more serious medications.That forced him to attend his doctor for a few successive times in the meantime, his mind was still used to the Egyptian routine, sometimes he caught himself talking about Egypt with his mother, in a distracted way, trying to sabotage himself that he wasn't wanting news from Karila all the time.He knew the princess was all right, that was all he knew.He was waiting in the doctor's office, glancing from the watch on his wrist to the young woman at the front desk, talking to her co-worker about the new soap opera that had debuted on Univision. A really tempting drama to pay attention to when you want to fill your mind with any superficiality.- Lauren Jau
The Heartless Princess 116
It was a delicate matter.- There's one last thing to deal with. - Allyson said when Karila lined up all the sheets and put them back in the folder.- Yes?The CIA director put her hands in her pockets, her gaze downcast.- In the midst of our plans, the Saudi King let a personal team be alert about any attempt on his life for some time, he had left the order that if it happened to him, that they would look for you, and make you pay. They did this on Lauren and Mahara's exit from the Four Seasons, they mistook Mahara for you. - Saying that was difficult, even more so after everything.Karila arched her brow, she was surprised, lethargic, her brown eyes sadly dropped to the floor. She thought of Sarosh's pain, and then of little Ali... Tears kept coming from her impulsive eyes, tearing all her feelings out. Yet another victim of you.- They didn't tell you before because of the traumatic effects, but Mahara is gone... not for you, don't think that way, she was in the wrong place
The Heartless Princess 115
Lauren seemed to think the same because she couldn't help herself and needed to look at those rings on her hands, was that true? She did, pulling Karila's hand in hers, laughing uncontrollably, stroking her delicate hand with her thumb.- From barely alive to this. -She said gesturing to the rings. Karila grimaced as she remembered the nearly dead one. She knew she had pretty exaggerated declines.- You knew how to act well, wretch, how did you lie that you didn't speak Arabic? Did you understand exactly everything around you? - He asked looking directly into her eyes. Lauren felt her cheeks burn, that was indeed a good lie that deserved justification.- I don't speak so well, it's not a lie at all. -She shrugged pretending to be no big deal.- But it's not entirely true. - Karila objected, narrowing her gaze as she watched Lauren hold the sheet covering her bust.- From the first day of the expedition meeting in Connecticut, Astrid instructed me to hide too much knowledge, menti
The Heartless Princess 114
Allyson had even helped Karila, it wasn't a lie that she was the only one to see the woman leave her room in a deplorable state, lost look and bent body. The princess told her that she only needed to talk to Lauren and no one else, that she wanted to have her moment to say goodbye to her, that there was no hunger or any need that made her need to be interrupted, it was her last request to the American agent, who nothing could say. in retort or denial.Everyone was aware that Karila was fine, and that she was going to stay, warning Dayna and Astrid was providential for the women to be calm, no one had run away, and neither would they. Karila had accepted the help, everything was fine.Finally would.That specific resort had a peculiarity, all its decoration was a union of modern Egyptian decoration with exquisite antiquity. Lauren watched the environment in dim light, it was difficult to define her immediate feeling, maybe it was a complete embarrassment of many sensations inside he
The Heartless Princess 113
Lauren didn't know what the scene that followed made her feel, maybe even years later she wouldn't know how to describe such despair when observing every inch of that room. The plush rug was wet and a small glass vial was broken over the liquid.It was all that.There was nothing beyond.Karila was no longer there.- Don't fucking tell me she went to turn herself in? Do not tell me! - Lauren walked around the room, opening the doors quickly, the bathroom was empty, it had a small window, it was impossible for her to have gone out that way.If it did, she walked the halls flawlessly.Astrid was as unresponsive as Lauren, watching Dayna who had the same conflicted feeling, it was totally Karila doing what she had done. She knew well that a woman would never let herself be protected, never... she was proud, too protective to be protected.- She shouldn't be that far away, we can help her find sanity. - Dayna suggested in a hurry. Lauren put both hands to her head, trying to think
The Heartless Princess 112
The first few seconds were difficult and hellish as she stood outside the door, staring at the polished wood.The princess vehemently denied with her head, taking the back of her palm to her face, trying to wipe more of the tears that insisted on falling from her, she hated herself for still being so fragile. Her body shifted to sit on the bed, looking dazedly around her, in a place she didn't know, far from any sane comfort zone.Maybe if he could make a deal with Al Sisi, leave all of his wealth and possessions to the man in exchange for Lauren's freedom and peace of mind, no more stalking, no conspiracy theories, no more. She for Lauren and nothing else.Would it be enough? Would he comply? He would make all their efforts in vain, but was that what he really wanted? To be alive to prolong your sufferings? Was it worth going into those questions? Her brown eyes filled with tears and overflowed without her own control.Thinking about it made her rummage through her own robes, pul
