The one who spoke was none other than Caitlin.
Charis had fired off a humiliating question at Gertrude, leaving her defenseless and ashamed. Caitlin, without missing a beat, had returned the insults with double the force. Her voice was calm, yet each word landed with a powerful impact, commanding the attention of everyone in the room.
An abrupt silence fell.
All eyes were now fixed on Caitlin.
Gertrude slowly lifted her head, her gaze falling on Caitlin standing beside her. She felt an indescribable emotion swell in her chest. Because of her name, she had been a target of ridicule throughout her school years. In high school, she was completely ostracized by her classmates. No one wanted to be her friend, and no one spoke to her. So, she had poured all her energy into her studies. She knew that for a child from the mountains, acing her exams was the only way out.
After the college entrance exams, her parents had initially refused to let her attend university. Their reasoning was simple: a girl's destiny was to get married.
They had done their duty by supporting her through high school.
Gertrude's next step was supposed to be joining the other girls from her village at an electronics factory in a big city. After working for a couple of years, they would find a matchmaker, marry her off to a decent family, and collect a handsome wedding gift. After all, Gertrude had a younger brother, and as the older sister, she had to think of his future. Her parents had even found a factory for her and told her she'd be leaving in three days.

Can you please publish another novel - sorry for your loss, its me am the loss...
So happy for Carey, the reunion with her family is touching. Can we read more of Caitlin and Gordon? Readers are forgetting that Caitlin has a boyfriend by the way. Is it normal for their relationship to be erased in the storyline?...
Update please......
But where is Gordon?...
Great story, great author!...
