The Heartless Princess 100
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 man carried with him marks so deep in the skin, that he always knew when he took them for himself that they would be impossible to untangle, Hadd had become a man marked with time. He had impeccable tactical training, his aspirations and skills in security training made him a target man, who soon, on the recommendation of friends, brought him into the life of Hamid, who consequently saw at first sight that he was a judicious and disciplined man.His eyes grimly strayed to Al Sisi's men who lined up armed like him, to the teeth. He had just received news that broke him as few things could, his eyes focused on his hands, covered in the royal gloves, Karila's crest on the wrists, the subtle fabric covering his ugly scars.Mahara had died in a planned bombing for Karila.The bitter taste of frustration touched her lips as she moved away from that door, her arms weakening as she leaned toward one of the long windows in the hall outside the presidential office, she knew she had the h

Karila paused for a few seconds, feeling the strong vertigo touch the back of her neck, which made her pause the hurried movement to take a single breath and steady herself, her hands moved to her face, wiping the tears from her cheeks, she forced her face in a smile, two failed attempts to align the body and swallow the painful tears.I had to pretend that everything was fine.She went down the stairs into the mansion alone, the security guards were restricted to staying at the entrances, on alert under any circumstances of attack. The princess moved her body to her meeting room first, her hands searching for what she needed in one of the cupboards.“Sarosh? – Her voice rose in a call as she returned to the corridor, going down the stairs towards the kitchen, her body became even slower when Lauren appeared in her peripheral vision, she was talking to Sarosh animatedly, she didn't understand her state of mind so high.It was clear that he had no idea about anything.“I just got

Deep down, anyone who could see her naked knew that the legend that that woman was asoul collector. Black ink snaked its way down the curves of her torso to her hips, etching her skin in glorious pride over nothing less than the life of those who wished her harm.As cunningly demonic did she do, fresh bodies from postmortem poisoning lay on the carpet of her royal office,it was the place where he dealt with business... The very high walls, the books on the shelves and the paintings of his ancestors had witnessed terrible misfortunes that that woman had suffered for those who wanted her desirable body, or just her head at a price for being so powerful and have so much at hand.She always left the room naturally, put the golden hijab on her completely straight brown hair and went to her room, claiming that she was not feeling well.It was clear that he always felt extremely well after killing an enemy, so much did he enjoy these moments of personal peace in his own presence... because

CairoThe procession was tremendously silent, they would be surprised if it were different, Al Sisi's gaze projected to the body in the white shroud was visibly cold, he didn't show reactions other than an obstinacy penetrated into the white cloth, trying to idealize that it was different.He knew that that had to happen for his life to have peace and his plans to walk in successful directions, having the sovereign power in hand had cost him a lot, strangely expensive. He felt satisfied, horribly satisfied as he pressed his fingers together in front of him and lifted his dogged gaze to the people clustered in the streets on floors below his feet.They had a frightened look on their faces, as if at any moment something terrible might implode in Egypt and put their lives in jeopardy forever. The executioner's sovereignty of the trained military man did not allow even a trace of hope in his eyes to prevail. He acted the way he was used to: superior to his people, and a thousand times

The second most disturbing mind-boggling of her current life, most of the security guards wrapped her arm as soon as they caught sight of her.trying to touch Karila.- You crazy person, don't touch or try to attack our princess. -He threatened in perfect Arabic looking her straight in the eye.I knew it would be a risky thing to do, but I couldn't stop following the ideas of the Belgian princess. He didn't know the white American woman, but did he know that she would play an important role in that journey, was it really a necessity to screw up his life? It didn't sound so difficult coming from Karila.He knew well that the woman would be in trouble from that moment on when the other security guards started to take Karila away and he stayed behind.- I'm not attacking, I returned the handkerchief! -It wasn't English, or Spanish, she spoke quickly in Arabic, which made the man just squeeze her arm even more, as if he didn't understand what she meant. The look on his face was scary,

Maybe no one would have counted that in the midst of all that mess, Lauren's pretenses about not understanding anything in the local language, what factors changed the cycle of what they could do. Ursel knew they had little time, he had no plans in mind, he knew they were at a dead end on how to help Karila, there was no hope about a suggestion, while Dayna had little progress with Normani, as the woman was closed off and didn't care. would open so easily, at the same time Al Sisi always protruded ahead, which worried the princess of Belgium to the extreme.Lauren had found a point of comfort in the middle of the chaos when she became fascinated by the need to know who was the face behind that hijab, when after a night on the terrace drinking wine with the woman, seeing too much, she became interested in which paths she could explore in the impossible. She didn't open her mouth to name anyone, didn't understand the sensations that overcame her when she stopped in silence to enjoy eve

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
