I am Prince's pampered wife

Chapter 20

The atmosphere buzzed with uncertainty as the group of ragged figures exchanged wary glances. Then, breaking the silence, a bold thief stepped forward, his eyes shining with a flicker of hope. "I will work for you!" he declared, his voice firm and unwavering.

Slowly, encouraged by his bravery, others began to nod in agreement. "I will, too!" another voice called out, followed by a chorus of affirmations. "Count me in!"

Though they had lived on the fringes of society, surviving by stealing from the wealthy to fill their empty bellies, all longed for something different. They craved the chance to live honestly.

Pari's heart swelled as she watched their transformation, a smile breaking through the tension. "Come to my home tomorrow." Then without hesitation, She gave them her money pouch.

The thieves exchanged awestruck glances; they had never encountered such a person before.

From the corner of the alley , one young man observed patiently, admiration sparkling in his eyes. "My future wife," he thought, a sense of pride swelling within him. "You never cease to amaze me. I chose wisely."

The dawn of the next day ,Pari had instructed her servant to prepare a bountiful feast, igniting curiosity within her family. "Who are we expecting?" her grandparents inquired, confusion etching their faces.

When the ragged group arrived, shock rippled through Pari's family. These weren't just beggars; they were troubled souls, their clothes worn, and their faces weary. "What could she be thinking?" her grandmother whispered, disbelief evident.

Yet Maira, driven by a mother's instinct, felt a deep surge of compassion as she observed Pari interacting with her new friends. "Serve them!" she commanded decisively, her heart swelling with empathy.

As the thieves settled around the table, they found themselves enveloped in warmth, a feeling they had long forgotten. For the first time, someone treated them like human beings, not just shadows lurking in the streets. They silently vowed to repay this kindness through hard work and unyielding loyalty.

After breakfast, Pari gathered them at a spacious, vacant building she had procured. "This will be our place of work," she announced, her eyes sparkling with determination. "We'll sell food and clothes here. Each of you will have a role to play—guarding, cooking, stitching—whatever it takes to help our business thrive!"

The words sparked enthusiasm among the group. "Forget the lives you've left behind," Pari urged. "Embrace this opportunity for a fresh start!"

As they nodded enthusiastically, she added, "From now on, you'll be known by numbers, making it easy for our customers to call you. I'll even provide name tags!"

With renewed purpose, Pari handed them a detailed list of supplies needed for their new venture. Together, they transformed the empty space with laughter and shared effort, their burdens lightened by the promise of their shared future.

"We'll create something beautiful from nothing, and I promise to repay every coin with profit," Pari vowed, the conviction in her voice igniting hope in the hearts of her team.

As the days turned into weeks, their collective effort turned the building into a bustling hub of activity. Pari trained them in customer service, cooking, and sewing , everything that needed in a business.

Finally, the long-awaited day arrived. With excitement buzzing in the air, Pari unveiled their new uniforms, each adorned with unique symbols to instill pride and set them apart.

The sight of their uniforms filled the group with joy and purpose, transforming their identities from shadows into celebrated members of a honest life .
