Few minutes later...
Gabriella entered into the car and sat beside, Mary...
" I am very sorry for keeping you all waiting. " She said with a smile...
She acted like nothing happened and that she was fine... Just like, Malisa and the others expected.
" It's alright... "
" Hm... So can we go now? " Aiden inquired...
" Sure! "
Soon, the car was set in motion...
" So how long have you been here, Sis? " Malisa initiated a conversation to keep up the ambience in the car...
" Well... Three years ago. Dad sent me here to further my education. "
" Okay... So what about crowned princess and second princess? "
" Well... Crowned princess got married last two years. While, Second Princess had been engaged since last year. "
" Okay... So are you still in touch with your dad? "
Malisa inquired carefully...
" Once in a while... "
" Oh... "
" By the way, Isa. Are you still pursuing your dreams? "
" Yep. "
" That's cool! So I guess I should be expecting your books in the bookstores soon. "
" Well... Probably. Book publishers can be very picky at times you know. "
" I know... Still, I believe that you'll overcome those! The publishers are surely going to love the books you write! "
" You flatter me, sis... I haven't even prepared the books yet. "
" Oh... But you once told me you were going to write a book about overcoming heartbreak? "
" Yeah... I have been working on it... "
" Okay... I'll be the first reader! "
" Well... Mary over here have been taking pecks at the manuscript... So I guess she's the first reader..."
" Alright..... "
The car was then in silent for the rest of the journey...
Gabriella found herself thinking of, Jude's words...
He was watching her?
What if he finds out about who she was hanging out with?
Wouldn't she be endangering their lives that way?
She didn't really know what to do!
Everyone always thought her life was perfect, but the truth is it isn't really...
Being the youngest daughter of the king... She had always dreamt of meeting her Prince charming one day... Just like most princess do...
She always thought she was lucky to be born as the youngest daughter of a very rich king...
But as she grew older... Her thoughts changed...
She had to watch the maltreatment of the females...
They were forced into early marriages..
They all were circumcised against their wishes...
They were treated as mere tools...
She always felt disgusted whenever she had to watch scenes where women were treated in an inhumane way...
She had to watch it all quietly...
Despite being a princess, she had no right to interfere...
She only had to watch in silence just as the others...
As time went by, she soon got to understand... That she being a princess didn't make her any better than the other women in the village...
The only thing that made her different from them was the crown she had, the big house she got to live in and the comfort and education she got...
Her dreams of getting together with a prince charming got shattered when her father sold her!
He practically sold her to the mafia boss!
When she thought, she was going to have a good life away from the toxic one she had in her viliage...
She ended up with a mafia boss!
From the moment, her father sold her, she had no right over her life and body!
She was like a property to him... The property that he won't let of so easily since he bought her at an exuberant price...
And when she thought she was the only one in this misery...
She heard about her second sister's fate which was probably worse than hers.
Her second sister was actually sold to a Rich old man who treated her as a toy...

He used her body the way he liked and even allowed his friends to penetrate her!
Her second sister who was always known to be proud and arrogant have completely lost all her dignity and pride.
She was completely shattered beyond remedy!
Only her eldest sister who is the crown princess is lucky...
She got married to a rich sixty year old king... Who had five wives..
At least, she was seen as human and had a little freedom and position as a Queen...
But they...
Especially her second sister....
Were being treated worse than a toy!
