“Its about a rich man daughter, Amira Badir who is married to a prince of al-Remal. It is very sad as to how her husband treated her. He beat her up, accuse her of having an affair so that she would be thrown by stones. The husband of Amira is a very cruel man he even murdered a guy. Scared, Amira tried to escape. Dr Phillippe whom have feelings for Amira and who is a friend of Amira husband, decided to help Amira escape to somewhere else her husband will not able to find her. Dr phillippe made a master plan and Amira ran away with her baby, Karim and Dr phillippe. After Dr phillippe brought Amira to Paris where she is safe and he did not went with Amira to Paris, instead, he created false trails so that Amira's husband will not be able to find her. After while, there were news saying that Dr Phillippe is dead. There was a letter to Amira when she went to meet a freind of Dr Phillippe who is a doctor who specialize in plastic surgery. The letter said that Dr phillippe had pancreatic cancer and Amira should not waste what he had did for her. Instead she should go to Harvard University to study psychology. Amira then change her name to Jenna Sorrel after getting her face done. She was accepted to Harvard and made full good use of it. She became a psychologist. She lied to everyone about her life as Amira the long lost princess even to her son Karim. She proclaimed to the world that she is the long lost princess and was the sister of Malik Badir the famous millionaire and that she killed her husband when he came to get her at Malik's house. She knew that if she returned to her husband's hand, she will get killed and Karim will be taken from her. Karim could not accept the truth. He always wanted to have a father and when he knew that his mother killed his father, he did not want to talk to her or even visit her when she was in prison. Karim was a royal prince and always wanted to know more about Egypt as he and his girlfreind was egyptians. So he went back to al-Remal where he was born. Amira knew that she could not bring herself to al-Remal. She had lost Karim, someone she loved, brought up, loved and cared for.”
