Sold to the Prince of Dubai Chapter 107 : Breaking Point
RashidGetting Lyla into the town car, I shut her door and rubbed my hands over my face. With Hafsa's interview now circulating around social media, there was no question that it would be a media frenzy once they figured out where Lyla's residence was. We couldn't go back there, even if we wanted to. Not if the cameras and news vans were going to camp out in front of the building trying to snap a photo any time one of us tried to leave to get anything.Fuck, we were so screwed.I'd been so wrapped up in whisking Lyla away on an unforgettable honeymoon that I hadn't thought to figure out a plan that would keep us safe once we were back in the States and the news of my engagement with Hafsa was no longer.But this? I didn't expect any of this.Especially that damn interview.Rummaging in my pocket, I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts, tapping on Zayed's name and quickly texting him. 'Have you purchased that summer home yet?'

LylaOh fuck.No no no no. Of all fucking people to have the paparazzi banging down there down, it just had to be my parents and not my friends who were way more competent in dealing with this shit. "Mom. Don't answer them." I barked out. If they so much as cracked the window open to talk to those media suckers, I was going to completely freak out. Rashid and I were already dealing with enough, we didn't need my parents being stupid on live television to be added to that mix of horror."They keep ringing the doorbell!" My mom whined. "Your father's just about had enough and is ready to go out there and wave his gun at them!"I groaned and slapped a hand over my face. Jesus christ.Great, a gun being waved on national TV for all of the world to see. I'm sure that was going to make a great headline for TMZ whenever they aired the episode to the millions of people who were currently biting their nails following this story. Somewhere on s

LylaIt was a weird feeling—being lonely in a house full of people.While Rashid and Zayed huddled in one of the offices downstairs, sorting through paperwork and whatever they had pulled up on the computer and tablets, Melanie kept me company with bad TV and a rotating door of food.I could tell she felt bad, not exactly knowing what would make me feel better. And in truth, I didn't know either. Rashid had reassured me that the guards were on their way up to my parent's house and would be arriving within the next few hours, which was a good sign but still made me feel incredibly wary. Not only was I trusting that my parents and brother would be kept under lock and key, but I was also trusting that they wouldn't do anything stupid that would jeopardize whatever it was that Rashid and Zayed were trying to work on.I knew that they were using every resource available to clear our names, but it didn't help that there were two royal families against us, t

Rashid I tried not to think about the interview and instead focused on tracking down as much information that the media had on us.Even though Lyla didn't want to do the tell-all with me, we still needed the upper hand in figuring out where exactly the media was going to lead the direction of this story. It was plainly obvious that they were planning on being absolutely ruthless when it came to Lyla, tearing her down and making her look like some college girl gone wild who happened to be at the right place at the right time to seduce me and then get pregnant with my child.The narrative that she was some kind of harlot mastermind, bagging herself a prince and then roping my family into setting her up for life with a hefty lumps sum and then annual payments in the future in order to ensure her compliance was not only laughable to me but straight up ridiculous.It gave the family too much credit, first of all, for accepting an outsider into our ranks—let alone a g

RashidThe moment I stepped outside onto the porch overlooking the backyard, I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts. It was going to take a bit to get through the right channels in order to speak to who I wanted to, but that didn't mean I didn't have the tools to do exactly that. My contacts in Dubai were still loyal to me, even if my parents were more than likely highly discouraging toward them. It took around twenty minutes to finally have my line connected to the one I wanted, and by the time I heard the timbering voice on the other end of the line pick up, I was more than ready to get this conversation over with."Hello, Rashid.""Mohammad," I greeted back."I'm surprised you're calling." That had me rolling my eyes. As ridiculous as that statement was, Hafsa's father wasn't half the liar she was. I doubted for a second that this phone call was coming out of the blue, especially with the photos that were just leaked to the pu

LylaMelanie and Zayed left early the next morning right after breakfast. I was nervous for them to leave Rashid and me behind, a part of me believing that we were going to be vulnerable without them here to protect us—from what I wasn't sure, reporters, the news media, my parents maybe?I didn't know.I hated feeling so needy though, especially when Melanie was the one to tell us that we were running out of basic food ingredients and that someone was going to need to go out shopping. It felt horrible to want to snap at both Zayed and her to tell them that they couldn't leave us behind, but trapping them in this house with us was only going to add tension that didn't need to be added.So, off they went shopping for us with a list that felt like it was ten pages long.While Rashid spent the rest of the morning in the office, I paced around the living room, watching out the window for Zayed's familiar car to come pulling up the drive.

LylaI came to with half a dozen people surrounding me."Okay everyone. I think she's back!"Cracking my eyes open, I squinted at the bright lights above me. There was something over my mouth that felt tight and uncomfortable, forcing me to lift my tired arms and bat at it. I felt a strange barrier of plastic over my mouth.What the hell happened? Where was I?"Oh, no no. Leave that be, dear. We don't want to be messing with that," someone I didn't recognize said to me.Looking over to the source of the voice, I spotted a woman who I didn't know. Immediately, it set my heart rate to spike again, causing me to hyperventilate.Oh god, more reporters?No. No, no no. How many had broken in?! Had there been more people waiting in the winds when that guy had approached the house and come in? Or had he actually been sending the location of where we were to other people so they could show up as well and harass us?Tears started cloudi

Lyla"You hungry at all, Lyla?"I tore my eyes away from the television, still swollen and irritated from how hard I'd been crying after Rashid had brought me up to bed. He'd laid with me for a while, comforting me to sleep until I succumbed to my dreamless void.When I'd come to, Melanie had replaced him.I shook my head at her, turning back to watch the TV, my mind empty and barely able to follow whatever was on. I felt numb like I was out of my own body and a figure looking in from an outside perspective. I was disconnected from all my emotions, removed from even the slightest bit of worry, joy, or happiness.It was nothing but a black hole.Next to me, Melanie sighed. "I think you should eat something. I don't mind making you a sandwich or maybe a bowl of soup?"Nothing sounded appealing. All I really wanted to do was crawl into bed and forget about existing for a while. Let the world move on without me and have everyone leave me be. I didn't w

RashidThree Months Later…"Rashid! Can you come grab the milk out of the microwave!" Lyla called out through the house.I looked up from the laptop resting in my lap, my eyes readjusting from looking at the screen for too long and watering slightly. "I got it," my sister said, pulling herself up from the floor."Thanks." I stretched my arms over my head, feeling my shoulders crack as I did so. Who knew trying to find accommodations for a former princess was going to be this much of a hassle?Salama and I had been working on finding her a place to live on her own while Lyla and I's house was being built. After her breakup with Javier, my parents had disowned her as well, cutting her off before she had a chance to explain that he'd masterminded an entire campaign into trying to steal my wife away to Spain with him.According to our parents, Salama was just as much of a failure as I was and since she'd gotten back into contact with me and come ov

LylaJavier smiled at me. "I told you that. Remember?"I shook my head at him, trying to move backward but was only met with the hard bodies of the guards surrounding me. In my arms, Nasir began to cry. The sound made my heart ache. It fucking sucks that my newborn child has been put into this situation. It's not fair. "What is going on!" Salama tried to jerk away from the guards surrounding her too. "Javier, what are you doing!"He sighed. "I'm sorry to tell you, but I have to break off our engagement. Don't worry, I won't make it look like you were at fault.""I don't care about that!" she snapped back. "You're not actually taking her back to Spain with you, right?""I am, actually."I shook my head. "I'm not going anywhere with you, Javier. You know that."He frowned at me. "Lyla, we had a deal. I help you get your baby back and you come with me to Spain. You agreed to that.""I got my own baby back! No thanks to you!" I cried, holding m

RashidI wasn't completely familiar with the palace but I had a general sense of where things were from the copious amount of times my father had gone into great detail about the intricacies of how this palace had been rebuilt after he'd become king.Why my father had been so obsessed with discussing architecture with me was beyond my comprehension at the time, but today I was grateful for it. Thankful even. Maybe I'd send the old bastard a thank you card after this was all said and done.After we'd closed Hafsa inside the nursery, we hurried down the hallway on the opposite side of where we'd come up from the staircase. I remembered there being a door to the outside toward the back of the palace, used for any of the waitstaff that came and went as they needed to.I didn't have any worries getting past them. By the time any of them realized who we were and what we were doing in order to call someone, we'd be long gone in a car to my jet sitting in the hangar w

LylaI instantly wanted to cry.All of my emotions over the past few days that I'd bottled down in favor of trying to remain headstrong were finally coming up to the surface at the mere thought of finally being able to see my child again. Was this it? Was this really it?"Is he…?" Rashid asked from across the room.Before I actually broke down though, I reached over the side of the crib and gently folded my hands under the bundle lying there, lifting him gently until I had him out of the crib and tucked into my chest. He made a small noise as he readjusted himself, pressing his face into my neck and sighing softly against my skin.Oh my god.Finally.My hand came up to curl around the back of his head, my entire body folding around him to protect him from everything. Like I was his own personal human meat shield. My baby. My son.Finally, back in my arms.I rocked him gently, feeling that familiar weight I remembered on my chest

LylaDucking and weaving around corners to remain hidden was more annoying than I thought it would be.With Salama guiding us through the palace, she was constantly grabbing my arm and yanking me into a dark room, the sounds of others passing by or even the remnants of someone moving down a corridor had us both spooked beyond belief.I wasn't sure as to why Salama's parents wanted her back just as badly as they wanted Rashid, but I tried to stop understanding them a long time ago. It was easier to just assume the worst at this point.We wandered around what felt like every single damn hallway we could find. Having no clue as to how we were supposed to get out of here, or where to find Rashid in all of this as well as where Hafsa had run off to. Both of us were slowly growing more frustrated with each hallway we stumbled upon."This place is so horribly mapped," she spat as she dragged me down another corridor. "Who in their right mind would design a palace like

LylaI had no idea how long I sat there on the floor before I remembered I had my phone still tucked into my jeans pocket.Sometimes past-me really had future-me's back. That was for sure. I had no idea who the hell I was going to call, but I had to try someone.Pulling my phone out, I dialed Melanie first. Her groggy voice answered me only a moment later."Mmm… Lyla?"I gasped into the phone. "They have me locked in a room!""What?" There was rustling on the other end. I sobbed into the phone, my entire body shaking as I spoke. "They locked me in a room! They took Salama away too! Javier's going to take me to Spain with him and I'm never going to get to see my baby again!""Hold on, I can't—hold on." There was a groan on the other end from Zayed before Melanie came back on the phone. "Lyla, where are you?""The palace in Abu Dhabi," I choked out. "They… I don't know, had this plan to give me to Javier to take back to Spain. I don't k

LylaI pushed past Salama to get into the room, a gasp leaving me the moment I laid my eyes on the scene in front of me.My heart pounded so wildly in my chest that I was afraid it was going to split my ribcage open and jump out. It felt like a dream to see what was in front of me—to finally lay my eyes on the one person who'd completely ruined my life and the one that had completely changed it too.There was Hafsa, seated in a large round chair with her arms cradling a small bundle. She smiled down at it, rocking slightly as she murmured something softly. The scene was so domestic and sweet looking that for a moment I felt delusional. There was no way that someone looking that content with life could have done all of this.But as soon as I heard a soft cooing sound, my dream-like state crumbled, forcing me back into the reality that was and not the one that my brain wanted me to believe in.I stumbled forward toward her, a hand quickly jerking me back from the

RashidWe followed the attendant to an unmarked room away from the waiting room we'd been kept in for a little over half an hour. I wasn't surprised they were all taking their time. It was normal for officials to draw these kinds of things out, either for their own benefit by starving their clients, or making them too aggravated to think properly.And while normally it had the potential to work, both Javier and I were above falling for such things. We'd been trained in it, after all.Although, I am becoming a little jittering having to wait for so long. Because I know that if all goes well with this meeting, I'll be one step closer to getting my son back and holding him in my arms, and witnessing Lyla be a wonderful mother to him like it's second nature and she was born to do it.We're missing out on so many firsts with our newborn baby all because of that selfish fucking woman.

Lyla Waking up the next day to Rashid's grave face sent me into a small panic attack that I ended up locking myself inside of my bathroom to deal with it while he got the rest of our stuff ready to head out.I didn't want to bother him with more of my head-shit, having seen him stressed way too much about the other things on his plate he had very little control over. It wasn't fair of me to monopolize him with all of my problems when he had his own to sort out too. Dumping everything onto him, especially right before we were going to be heading out, was a shitty thing to do.Finally, after what felt like an hour, I gathered myself and splashed some water on my face before finally leaving the bathroom and heading out to join the rest of our group in the living room. Surprisingly enough, they all looked just as stressed as I felt, even Salama who I'd suspected only came on this trip to supervise her fiance looked like she'd barely slept all night. I didn't know whet
