Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Hattie and Josefina were out shopping, their haul so substantial that even the arms of their two personal assistants were laden to the brim, struggling under the weight of their purchases.

Dressed in an outfit gifted by Josefina, Hattie turned heads as she strolled through the mall, her presence commanding attention. The bolder onlookers would approach and inquire where Hattie had found such a chic ensemble.

With a proud tilt of her head, Hattie would beam and announce, "Oh, this lovely piece? My daughter crafted it with her own two hands. It's not store-bought."

Envy laced the compliments showered upon Josefina, as people admired Hattie for having such a talented daughter. Hattie walked beside Josefina, her eyes shining with pride.

Observing the burdened assistants, Josefina whispered, "Mom, let's not shop anymore. We've bought enough."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Alright, if you say no more shopping, then that's that. But I heard there's this quaint little milkshake joint tucked away in an alley nearby. Let's go treat ourselves to some, my treat," Hattie suggested with a smile.

"Sounds wonderful."

Hattie instructed the assistants to take the bags back, and she merrily accompanied Josefina in search of the hidden milkshake spot.

...

As Josefina walked forward, a familiar voice pierced the air. "Let go of me! We don't owe you anything! Come any closer, and I'm calling the cops!"

Jade's voice was shrill, brimming with anger and resentment.

Quickening her pace, Josefina saw a disheveled man gripping Jade's arm, his gaze filled with menacing fury. "Jade, your dad owes me money, and you're going to pay it back. If you don't, I swear I'll sell you of to cover the debt." he snarled.

Jade retorted loudly, "The debt belongs to my dad, not me. You have no business with me!"

"A debt of the father is a debt of the child. You and Alex better pay up. I want that half a million, now."

Jade struggled to break free, her arm turning a deep shade of red. Jade's uncle reached out to grab her again, but Josefina arrived just in time. "Stop it right there!"

The man turned to see Josefina and Hattie and spat out bitterly, "What? You gonna pay off her debt for her?"

Jade snapped, "Keep dreaming. My brother and I have disowned that man. His debts have nothing to do with us."

Josefina said firmly, "Call the police."

The man sneered, "Go ahead, call them. Let the cops see who's dodging their debts. Since I can't find their father, I've got no choice but to come after Jade and Alex." en.swhovels.net

Jade declared, "I'll say it one more time. That debt is not my problem."

"You sold your shares, didn't you? How can you say you're out of money?"

"That's right, the shares were

sold-to settle debts. Do you even know how much your dear brother borrowed? Let me make it clear: you're not getting a dime from me, only trouble." Jade urged Josefina, "Let's get out of here, Josie No use talking to a mad dog."

Josefina nodded and motioned for Jade and Hattie to go ahead while she followed behind.

Enraged, the man grabbed a nearby bottle and hurled it at Josefina. With a swift move, Josefina dodged and kicked the bottle into the air, catching it with precision.

Crack! In one swift motion, Josefina delivered a knockout blow. Blood streamed down the man's head, and Jade clamped a hand over her mouth, too shocked to scream.

If anyone saw that it was Josefina who had struck the man, they might call the police. And that meant trouble!

Even Hattie was captivated by

Josefina's deft maneuver, her shock

mingling with awe. Josefina's skills were astonishing. Hattie once

thought she needed bodyguards to protect her daughter, but now it was

crystal clear-her precious girl needed no one's protection.

Rushing over, Hattie said, "Josie, get rid of that bottle before you hurt yourself. I'll call your father right away to take care of this mess."
