Prologue of "The Ebb flows"

The Ebb flows
Prologue

A woman's powerful scream descended upon the eerie silence. It was a scream that spoke volumes about the terror and helplessness that she was experiencing. She was all alone at the jungle and her contractions are filling her with acute pain which made her wish that she had died than having to go through the pain that she has to endure.
About 10 minutes later, she gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl filling her lungs with high pitched cries. Only the thick and dense jungle and the creatures that dwell in it bear witness to the excruciating birth of the baby.
The woman, unfortunately, released her last breath after the aftermath of giving birth. The little baby was left to fend for herself. She had lain at her mother's feet for about 3 days before she was discovered by the construction workers who was just starting to build the latest housing project. Imagine their surprise upon the discovery at the site which they believed to be securely guarded by using physical means as well as by electronic devices.
When the news of the dead mother and her baby reached the developers' ears, they decided to bury the woman secretly and gave the baby away to one of their employee so that they can erase the scandal that may arise from this important project.
So, the baby grows up and was shielded from her facts of her mother and the mystery of her birth, and like the wheel that has to be spin, her life is starting to unravel before us.
