After a moment of silence, Ahlam breaks it.
Ahlam, a stunning young woman in her thirties, stands tall with her long, golden locks cascading down her shoulders.
Her enchanting hazel eyes captivate anyone who looks into them : "Oh, I've heard that Sami is romantically involved with your cousin's daughter. Is this information accurate?"
With a smile on his face, the father responds, "I highly doubt it... I truly believe that Sami wouldn't settle for anything less than a princess. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world, it's hard to imagine him marrying an ordinary woman like Hanah, don't you think?"
Amani, a young woman with flowing blonde hair in her late twenties, shares a striking resemblance to Ahmed : "Dad, I can't help but think that he would have fallen for my sister, Layla, if it weren't for her being the daughter of a servant...
Regrettably, Sami would never entertain the idea of marrying a servant's daughter, even if she belonged to his own family. We could have utilized your beauty to our advantage if you weren't simply the offspring of a servant...
Well, they say you can't have it all in this world...
Indeed, you possess a breathtaking beauty that leaves people in awe. However, it's hard to deny that you are merely the daughter of a servant who cunningly manipulated and snatched my father away from his own kin for monetary gains. I hold disdain for the impoverished, like your mother, who allow themselves to seize what rightfully belongs to others. "
Layla lets out a deep sigh, her ears acquainted with these words that have become more common than the usual morning greetings during their summer breaks.
She casts a gaze at her sister, a blend of exasperation and deep sorrow in her eyes, but she remains silent, unable to find the courage to speak her mind.
Undeniably, the truth remains that her mother entered into a marriage with her father, who happens to be the father of four children.
Faced with such a stark reality, silence becomes the only refuge to evade potential shame and reproach.
Layla is overcome by a deep sense of suffocating sadness, yet she chooses not to dwell on it.
She has grown accustomed to these emotions, developing a skill for embracing them as a means of navigating the circumstances that have been thrust upon her since the day she returned to live in the family palace.
