I got a job offer in the city said Amina, I even rented a house for us to stay in, we are moving in 2 days.

Camellia was stunned to speak, didn't know what's the need to move to the city while there is everything in this village that they needed to be safe. She didn't want to question her mother because she know that whatever her mother does is for her good.

Yes mother, replied camellia while smiling brightly.

I know you are mature enough to understand everything camellia, I am so proud of you, said Amina. Now go pack your things we don't have much time.

Since they are moving away from the village Camellia and Amina said goodbyes to all their  neighbours who were so supportive of Amina when she was raising Camellia alone. They were so safe in this village that they were grateful.

Camellia and Amina moved to the city. They rented a house near the forbidden Dark forest because it's the only place in the city where people won't be crowded so it's safe for Camellia to stay hidden away from people.

Amina used to go to work in the morning and used to run a flower shop by the evening. Camellia stayed home all day alone waiting for her mother to arrive.

Amina noticed that Camellia was bored in the house all day so Amina let Camellia work in their flower shop till Amina arrives from work.

Camellia started to work in their flower shop in the middle of the city where everyone caught a glimpse of her beauty. Many even confessed her but she turned them down because of the strict rule that her mother made and her dark secret.

Camellia was not allowed to make friends so she was an outcast most of the time.

Some of her neighbours made fun of her for being weird while some were jealous of her beauty.

Whenever someone asked anything about her father she was not able to answer them, Camellia doesn't know who her father is and where he will be, alive or dead, she doesn't even know his name. Camellia never asked her mother about her father because she thought it would make her mother sad.

Camellia wanted to find her father and unfold the mystery of her identity…
