At the market,

There was a lot of noise as well aas crowd that filled the place.

Anabel helped her mother by taking part in tailoring activities. Anabel's family became poor after her father died. All the property was given to her father's brother leaving Anabel and her mother with nothing.

"Mama am done with the dress how is it," asked Anabel with a curious face. And her mother said smiling "It's beautiful " We'll they didn't have much but Anabel was very pretty. A lot of young men had come for her hand in marriage but she was too young at that time. But now Anabel was twenty and ready for marriage.

Anabel had put interest in Hilton who was her friend. They were going to be in courtship when he came back.

Anabel's mother went home early to run some errands. So Anabel stayed in the shop much longer than she ever did because she was working on a dress.

After she finished she looked at the time in shock and disbelief and what was worse was that it started to rain and Anabel didn't bring an umbrella

She was scared that her mother was out looking for her so she decided to go under the rain.

After a while, she took shelter at a closed shop while she was shivering in the cold.

There was a black carriage parked at the back of the shop when he saw the girl. Anabel was so caught up drying her hair. The man looked at her face the entire time though he couldn't see her he wondered who she was. He wanted to know more about her. He tells his assistant Sabastain "Find out all about this girl for me" he said with a broad smile on his face.

When Anabel reached home, her mother was so happy saying "Anabel I was so terrified I didn't know where to search for you, you got me so worried" said Charlotte who was Annabel's mother. Anabel who was terrified herself didn't want to show it and covered it up by saying. "Mama what's for dinner" and with that, the matter ended.

Anabel didn't know what was installed for her.
