The Heartless Princess 94
The silence upon entering the always so dark corridor of those tents brought him significant peace at the thought that most were out there. Gold was in her own room, probably reading and trying to study about the expedition not wanting to be distracted from work, which she didn't expect to be any different from what Lauren would do.Just one long look over her shoulder to see if anyone would see her and she walked into the room she wanted, as she had done silently some time ago. And like the first time he saw the Colombian American lying on his bed, this time she wasn't sleeping or had her eyes closed, but was concentrated on her notebook, glasses curved over her nose, her shirt rolled up to her elbows and the buttons open to her belly, showing off her black bra, the exposure was complemented by the hair pinned to the top of her head.“Complicated situation, Miss Jauregui. - Karila commented as she crossed her arms tightly, sticking her fingers close to her elbows, her eyes descendi

The historian was the first to leave the tents, discreetly covering her face as she left through the back, through the exit that only Karila would go out, she would not be seen by the American security guards. The princess, already awake, only left the same path 5 minutes later, escorted by Hadd while still a little sleepy, frowning to try to see ahead, her path guided by the low light of a flashlight that her security guard carried, while in a tone Disgusted, she leaned on him by the hand, the one always protected by a glove.Balancing on the sand made him spend a lot of energy.They walked about 10 minutes to where Lauren's car was parked between the sand slopes, in a covered viewing area, which had Karila pressing her lips together with the effort as she walked down the slopes on her boots, she didn't complain about it. the whole situation, I just wasn't used to it. Lauren was waiting by the car, Hadd only handed her the key when he let go of Karila's hand and the princess could

— They're surrounding her family in Connecticut, that wasn't the deal, he can't break international law and try against Lauren's family or anyone else. – Allyson was incisive in quoting with so much energy what she had just learned from the American sources that she left responsible for taking care of the historian's family. Al Sisi closed in on them, sent his own insane agents to surround them.“He won't be able to kill them. – Ursel stated, she was really dubious in her own words, but she tried to take all the cheer for herself. Allyson shook her head, frowning in denial.— Look, this is going too far, he is indeed capable of murdering Lauren's parents, I need to intervene NOW in this situation, her parents need to be removed from the house immediately! – It was far beyond reputations, the director of the CIA was no longer caring for discretions and formalities, she had her similarities to views of the sovereign president of Egypt, but her limit had already arrived.— He's got som

She shrugged her shoulders into the elevator alone, looking at her reflection in the side mirror trying to get ready quickly vain, the lapel of her dress shirt, her hair and the makeup that was still on her face, waiting anxiously until she could leave in the corridor that led up to the levels. of luxury below, it was clear that the penthouse was more typically Arabian than the standard rooms for international tourists they had given away, she took a deep breath of relief when she spotted Hadd leaning against the wall near the entrance to one of the rooms, he lit up when he saw her.“Hi Hadd, good to see you…Karila texted me to meet you here. - She justified herself when approaching the security guard who nodded already knowing the situation because the princess had already given her permission in advance."It's good to see you too, Madam... She's been waiting for you in the rooftop pool area, she's been alone for some time now." - The man warned her in advance to open the bedroom d

Karila anticipated responding, holding the back of her neck carefully, feeling her lips melt on hers in seconds, moving her hands to wrap around her waist, sustaining the kiss. It could take forever, but as soon as she breathed heavily against Lauren's lips and looked at her so closely, the historian kissed her cheek tenderly and stroked her hair, feeling Karila hugging her snuggling her face into her neck for a few minutes.“See you tomorrow night. – The princess whispered against her skin as she said goodbye."Why tomorrow night?" Won't we see each other during the day? – Lauren questioned confused. The princess denied as she was visibly calmer after having the kiss and hug she wanted before leaving.“We'll have appointments. – Was all she could say, Lauren knew she wouldn't get any more information from the woman, which only made her more curious and suspicious of the whole situation.— I hope to find out soon what these commitments would be... – She quoted anxiously.

Sanawhaa kept her focus on Karila, helping her little daughter put the hijab on over her ever-so-long hair. The little child had her pure eyes turned towards her mother in silent concentration, she liked to admire her in silence, from her eyes to her chin always so uplifted, the grace that the woman showed her every day said a lot about herself.— Habibi, this is a beautiful hijab. – The woman praised as she stayed down in front of Karila's small body, watching her look away slowly, even the way she behaved to look away from her mother showed respect and authorization, even if it was not a requirement of the woman, that was how little Karila had always respected her.“There are drawings. Karila moved her fingers to touch over the golden thread in her hair, her breeding custom always shrouded in a long lineage of power not to mention. Sanawhaa smiled at the way her daughter was lost with the designs on her own dress, she was only 11 years old and held her purity as a reflection of per

Ursel and Lauren, realizing that she was going to leave again, moved."Come on, she must not like seeing us here." - Ursel told Lauren who nodded, walking quickly beside her to return to the party with determination.“They are recognizing and wanting her as their ruler. – Lauren quoted Ursel who she shrugged."It's a beautiful thing to see, isn't it?" – The Belgian director spoke watching her, Lauren remembered the scene of the man kneeling and kissing the princess's hand in complete supplication.- It's beautiful. – He stated helplessly. Not noticing that Ursel stared at her for too long, nor did she notice why Karila returned to the fraternization minutes later, walking beside Hadd who got lost among the guests again making her more comfortable.His expression was rawly bright, his eyes glittering as he approached both women, casting a subtle glare on Lauren who only had eyes for herself."Are you enjoying it?" Have you tasted my wine? – Karila spoke looking at Ursel, asking i

The princess bent down, resting her head against Lauren's shoulder, closing her eyes as she felt Lauren's slow caress on her back, making her calm for a time they couldn't define, she wanted to stay that way until her legs got tired of it. be standing."I didn't see you dancing at the party." – Lauren made a sudden comment that made Karila raise her face to look at her.- I do not dance.Lauren frowned.- Never? - She questioned confused. Karila slowly shook her face.- Never Why?— Just curiosity, you have a different way of dancing here, that little situation of appreciation where the distance dictates the power of the movements, my country is a bit like appreciation and enjoying the connection of feeling when touching and being touched. – Lauren said biting her lower lip reluctantly that Karila didn't understand.— And how do they dance? – the princess genuinely asked."Do you really want to find out?" – The historian sketched a mocking smile that made Karila hesitate if th

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

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

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
