It was her engagement day. An engagement she didn't want... It should be one of the happiest days in a woman's life and yet for Kaya it was the start of her problems... Somehow she was going today to seal his fate with that of this selfish Sultan... Let's say... the next 3 months of his life...She sighed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was beautiful, very beautiful even, but she didn't like this dress which seemed to come from the 80s. Which wouldn't be a big surprise since it was her mother who had chosen it for her... Frankly, she was would find more beautiful in a tight dress with a plunging neckline... Well... It would surely be an outrage in everyone's eyes and the queen would surely tell her that she looked like a prostitute. She smiled as her maid just added the final touch...A pretty pure diamond necklace as well as a matching bracelet and earrings. They were all diamonds...she was sure they were real...Each of her diamonds was worth a small sum... And with
The evening was shaping up pretty well... Apart from the fact that Mrs. Dupuis and Mrs. Hailey wore the same hat and she had a hard time telling them apart, everything was going well. She was trying to maintain the same detached look that Mirabelle had, but she had trouble doing it... She had learned more than fifty names by heart and now she was afraid to call someone by name. from someone else. Without forgetting that she should especially avoid talking about goods to a banker thinking that he was the wealthy businessman on the west coast... Just like she had just done with Mr. Cadet...As she was alone, she quickly made up for it by saying that she had been mistaken and that Mr. Cadet looked strangely like a wealthy merchant she had met... Elzhar hadn't spoken to her, he hadn't told her. didn't even give a look... Did she disgust him or what? It wasn't the prettiest dress, but he still could have pretended to stare at her! It was really...revolting! He was content only to make conv
- Good... He was content to say while detaching himself from her.Kaya looked at the man who still kept his cynical air. Instantly, she thought he was very handsome like this... She was sure he wouldn't be as handsome if he ever smiled... She looked at him in profile when he seemed to be checking his surroundings... He really exuded authority indisputable. She smiled to herself as an idea germinated in her mind...- Where was he ?- Well... There's never been a journalist. She said walking past him.She smiled wider at the face he made before turning around and heading back to the ballroom. She had lied to him... In fact. There really had been a reporter but she wanted to see his face and...she was...quite satisfied.Elzhar looked at the young woman leaving happily... Her behavior troubled him more and more... With this marriage, he expected a wise and obedient wife. However, there he saw her as rather smart and intelligent. Without forgetting that she didn't let herself be pushed aro
The evening had just ended and after having greeted and thanked all the guests, the young woman was finally able to find her cozy bed. She should find a way to get revenge on the Sultan and she should do it as soon as possible... He had to understand that he was in her palace... Let's say in part and that it was she who was in charge ...He could have killed her! You can die from stress! He was sure he wanted to kill her. She stayed a long time looking at the ceiling thinking of some Machiavellian plans... She should reach him without him knowing it's her. Otherwise she was sure she was going to marry Prince Dukens and that damned Sultan was better than him. She heaved a sigh of despair. She should just take it all on herself and forget about her desire for revenge. For now... She really didn't want to get in the way of their union.It really wasn't fair!The Sultan was standing at his window. He looked at the moon and the starry sky. It was an evening rather... like no other. A smile
"Welcome to your partial new life, Kaya"That's what she had said to herself as she got out of the car that was taking her to the Sultan's palace. A huge palace with even more luxury than that of Mirabelle. She had to make a superhuman effort not to stay with her mouth open in front of so many wonders... She had the impression that the palace was made of gold as long as it shone... She couldn't describe it because it's good the first time she had to deal with all that heap of luxury… The Sultan was immensely rich, there was no doubt about it… She had frankly had a miserable life. And it was now that she understood... She was born in a rotten neighborhood with the minimum to live on while he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Honestly she envied him...- Are you going to stand there or are you going to decide to go back?The young woman was abruptly drawn from her contemplation by the sultan. She breaks her smile and becomes serious again. She approached him as once again she w
And it was by slamming the door loudly that the young woman proved her strong displeasure to the Sultan... She could not even say a word after his declaration and she had to leave the room not to jump on him... And moreover, he had disturbed her. Kaya was sure he was doing it on purpose but...she was powerless. She hadn't even had the last word, it was shameful! And all this made her angry. It was sure that he was going to make her stay here a hell... Just thinking about it, Kaya felt a fear invade her. No! No, Kaya! You have never bowed your head to anyone and you won't do it today. If he tries anything, you make him pay! And that's it! You may be in his den but you are much more clever than him... She encouraged herself. She pushed a long sigh which said a lot about her anger then closed her eyes to try to evacuate her rage. For the moment, she could not do anything. She could go back and slap him, that would be... fair. But she'd probably end up in jail. For now, the only thing t
- What are you doing here? asked the young woman with a detached air...- I was looking for you... Dinner has just finished. He replied in the same tone.Kara swore silently under the Sultan's watchful eye before answering...- I fell asleep... I'll be dining alone in a few minutes. - Very well, then. replied the Sultan briefly.Kara raised her eyebrows briefly before realising that the conversation had just ended. And yet... Yet here they were, standing opposite each other with nothing left to say... It was awkward.Very awkward.She lowered her eyes at the insistence of the man's gaze on her, praying inwardly not to blush... This really wasn't the time to show herself... Weak and... Vulnerable. It was girls who blushed, not women. And she was a woman.Why the hell didn't he say anything? she said inwardly.She smoothed her dress nervously. One of them had to speak up to break this worrying silence. With the silence in the library and the silence between them, the situation was bec
The young woman looked at the mirror in front of her as she was being prepared for the wedding... Her wedding. It was all very ironic. She should be as happy and fulfilled as any other woman about to marry a rich man. She was playing a role, of course, but it was her wedding all the same. The Sultan was unpleasant and unbearable, but he was very handsome and a good match. She couldn't wait to see how many women would be jealous of her tonight. She smiled at herself in the mirror before concentrating on herself. She certainly thought she was beautiful, but... Too much make-up and those jewels which were already in danger of strangling her! She found the customs of this country quite funny... However, her dress was perfect. Much more perfect than she could have imagined. Even the stylist, who had seemed disgusted when she had chosen it, had congratulated her on her "good flair". She looked like a princess. A real princess, if you took into account the fact that she wasn't one. She sm
Kara found herself in deep trouble... $20,000 ? She kept thinking about it. What was she going to be able to do with such a small amount? And it was a Sultan's birthday. And the possibility of a small, banal party was not to be considered. She had to do something grandiose, extraordinary... Something... royal. But did she have the budget for that? No.And Kara was sure he did it on purpose.He had put her in this situation on purpose. What if she... What if she didn't do anything. After all... He knew perfectly well that she wouldn't be able to do anything with so little money."Yes... After all. It's his birthday and too bad, I'm not the real princess. It's not something that will bother me. It's up to him to be ashamed of what he did."Kara was convinced her plan was perfect and yet...Kara knew it was a challenge he had thrown at her and this rebellious side tickled her to take it up.It would surely be enormously satisfying to see him turn pale as a ghost when he saw the grandiose
The next day when Kaya woke up, the Sun was already high in the sky and had already entered the room through the small crack in the window... She didn't need to run her hand along the side of the bed to know that she was alone. The Sultan had already left, She had felt him leave the bed this morning. It was much better for her because she didn't really want to see him...She still had the incident from the day before in her mind. She put her hand to her forehead and grimaced as she felt a huge headache as if someone were tapping her head. It was all because of him. He...had spent a good part of the night moving and the other part snoring...Kara even thought he had done it on purpose...It wouldn't have surprised her anyway.. .He was unbearable and that was in his nature.Taking a deep breath, she stretched before yawning lazily... She hoped her day was going to be good. She sits on the bed to regain her balance and during this time her request from the day before comes to mind...His b
The next day passed quickly and evening came. When the bedroom door opened, Kaya already knew what to expect... He was probably going to scold her but she was going to... love it.- Good evening... She blurted out with a big smile, looking for a sudden alopecia on her head.- What do you want? Tell me...? Why are you so obnoxious as a person?The young woman looked mockingly annoyed. She didn't know why but she loved pissing him off...it was so...satisfying.- You put glue in my hat! Can you imagine when it had to be removed in front of my associates?Kaya looked at the Sultan who was really pissed off but she couldn't help but converge into a smile before bursting out laughing.Her face...her expression...she was even trying to do the script in her head...And it was satisfying...- And that's what you can do...laugh? You know what, enough is enough!Kaya suddenly stopped laughing. He was really pissed off. She could see it... Was he going to take her back to her parents?She swallow
The man smiled in response to her request, but Kaya quickly caught a glint in his eye... He was so handsome and smelled so good... The young woman widened her smile and caught herself looking at his beautiful lips... She looked down, suddenly aware that she was going too far, but without warning, Elzar lifted her head and took his lips.Millions of butterflies fluttered in the young woman's stomach. She didn't respond to his kiss all at once. She could see him coming but... She didn't know. She...responded to his kiss just before she felt his fingers run through her hair. It was...magical. Kaya couldn't say how long the kiss had lasted, she could only say that it had lasted long enough for her to moan in disagreement when he abruptly ended it. The young woman gave him a dirty look but the man smiled and... stood up and took her hands...- Come here... he said, almost in a whisper.The young woman obeyed, swallowing and wondering what he had in mind. The man approached the wall wit
And then... She was already starting.- I only came to help you, Mirabelle.- Help me? Help me how? By locking you up with me... What a generous help! she said under her breath.She sighed and looked at the man in front of her for a moment. Why was she picking on him? He had come to give her a hand but she... she was already showing her shitty temper. For a brief moment, she felt sorry for him...Until she remembered recent events...- I didn't ask you to help me! she added harshly. You were passing by, you heard me, so it was your duty to help me, so... Don't look as if I owe you my life.Mirabelle gave him one last look before turning her back... They were locked in and alone... After a moment, this fact made her shudder. What was going to happen between them? Was he going to try to... kiss her or even make love to her? Thinking this, the young woman looked around, trying to spot a suitable place where they could possibly...make love. She'd watched so many stories like that. And
Well... She'd been thinking out loud, she realised, a little embarrassed. She crossed her arms over her chest, not wanting to show him that he was troubling her. Already with what he'd done to her and now... The man in front of her stared at her and she took a long time to remember that she was still in her underwear. She reacted immediately, but with restraint, by turning around and grabbing her dressing gown, which she had taken off while dancing. Was he already there when she took it off? Kaya finally swallowed, realising that this might well be a possibility. She would have liked to stand up to him for a while longer, to hold his gaze and throw him off balance, but she could hardly do that because of the sudden embarrassment he felt. He'd seen her naked before, it's true... But he'd never seen her dance in her underwear and God knows what kind of moves she was making. What a shame! She almost ran to her dressing room and put on a long nightgown. She stood there for a moment to
- Go and tell the newspapers, your Sultan is a pervert! A big, heartless pervert! Fulminated the young woman as she was woken up the next morning. Her two servants looked at her confused before looking at each other... - Good morning Ma Sultane! They said in unison. - Yes, good morning! She replied, sulking and rising from her bed. - Would you like us to help you... - No, prepare my bath, bring me my breakfast and then get the hell out of here. She replied, holding back all the rage she had built up inside her. She angrily went to the mirror and looked at herself. She was still naked. Just as he had left her. She hadn't had the strength to get dressed. She had remained on her knees for a long time, feeling far too ashamed to get up. When her knees began to ache, and she was afraid that he would come back and find her in the same position, she finally got up and made her way to the bed before letting herself go between the silky sheets... She shed a few tears and eventually fell
Humiliated and powerless, the young woman prayed that it was a dream, but the man's impassive gaze on her was like a bomb, and if it was a dream, she should have been awake by now... She swallowed, ashamed as she gave him a pitiful look, pleading with her eyes. She should have apologised. Why hadn't she? Her ego. The Sultan bit his teeth and gave her an even harder look, and she knew that he was not at all reconsidering her request - on the contrary, he was getting impatient... With trembling hands, she began to remove her dress, keeping her head down and praying that he would ask her to stop. She felt even more humiliated, and despite the tears that threatened to fall, Kaya tried to look as proud as possible. When the dress was thrown on the floor, the young woman swallowed with the sole desire to hide... She was already almost naked. Once her underwear was removed, she would be completely exposed to his gaze... It was a perverse thing to ask of her. - Go on... And for God's sa
His gaze on her was hard and the young woman ended up flinching and lowering her eyes. What the hell was he doing? He walked around her and went back into the room without failing to hit her a little without however doing it on purpose... Kaya was surprised and she hardly understood what was happening so she contented herself then without another look at him, to leave the room. bedroom, closing the door behind him even though she had forgotten what she was going to do outside. She stood in the hallway for a moment, her mind troubled. She had tried to remember why she wanted to get out of her room but her memory seemed to fail her so she kinda gave up. She mustered up her courage and went back to the bedroom, he was on his computer and his mood didn't seem to have changed. She swallowed but walked to her sideboard and began to comb her hair. After a moment, she saw through the mirror, Elzhar getting up from his chair and picking up something before turning around and walking towards
