Six years ago Zidra palace had held Zayed's art exhibition.He had lost his inspiration after the multiple betrayals he faced in his life and Aveline had helped him get back to art.He had painted portraits after portraits of Aveline, capturing every beautiful expressions of her captivating faceAnd Aveline had attended the exhibition and obviously the media people recognised her.His muse, they called her.They wanted to know more about her and they had surrounded her asking her questions after questions in their native language. Aveline didn't knew Arabic. He had come to her rescue but had lashed out on her.He simply was furious on her behalf. Not on her.He didn't consider the possibility that Aveline would think that he was furious on her for interrupting the exhibition. That thought never crossed his mind"Why Salim? What was the need for all that. That too keeping it a secret from me. You knew right, it doesn't matter to me whether she knows Arabic or not." Zayed asked in a
Ava settled her little munchkins for the night after reading them three stories, one of each of her kid's choice.Well, two were stories and the third one was an article on dinosaurs, which Zian love to hear. Zahir and Zada simply has to endure itKate had gone for a business trip from her company for two days and as she settled in the living room she thought about the day's events.It was a Saturday. Usually it was not a school day, but today her kids had school as there was some orientation class organized for the kids.All day she was alone and her mind kept playing the kiss she shared with Zayed, repeatedly.She willed herself to not think about Zayed and directed her thoughts to her kids and what had happened today.Ava was tying Zada's hair in two pigtails when she noticed the two little heads huddled together.She could literally see trouble written all over their face and she sighed not knowing what was awaiting her.As usual Zian had forgotten to wear his underwear. How coul
20. "Missed me?" Zayed asked with the devilish smirk intact on his face. "What the hell are you..." she started to say but he cut her off, simply by taking her into his arms and covering her angry mouth with his. His kiss was hot, sexy and so blatantly erotic there was nothing Ava could do but kiss him back. Her hands gripped the front of his shirt. His hands, which had been holding both sides of her face, moved down to pull her against him, to show her that he was just as affected by the kiss as she was. By the time he lifted his head, Ava was clinging to him, her mind a jumble and her voice whimpering with need, she'd thought she was ready to resist if he ever tried to kiss her again. Damn! What a delusional idiot she was? Ava pulled back just far enough, then with all of her might, she swung out her hand, smacking him hard on his cheek. Her hand stung from the impact it made and she could see the red imprint of her hand on his cheek and the shocked look in his eyes, bu
"Don't hurt my momma!" Zahir yelled out, adding a whole new dimension to the chaos. His chubby little hands were fisted at his sides and he was in obvious fighting mode with a clear line of sight to Zayed"Zahir" she started to say, only to see Zian dropping his frogs down as he noticed the man in the kitchen and to turn his fight mode on. Both her boys stood on her either side glaring at the man in the kitchen. And her little girl, Zada hugged her legs and turned around to glare at the intruderAva glanced at Zayed. All she saw was an almost naked man with a knife in his hand, staring at the three little munchkins with a stunned expression on his face. "Don't just stand there, Zayed, go put some clothes on!"He looked down at her, then back at the kids, then down at himself. Something must have gotten through because he looked back at the kids and nodded curtly before moving off to the bedroom. While bending down to try and catch the disgusting, jumping blobs, she glanced up at
"How could you?? How dare you??" Zayed asked through clenched teeth, his eyes spitting fire.."How dare I??" Ava asked back in a deceptively calm voice."How dare you come here and look at me like a wounded animal after all what you have done to me??" Ava asked her voice rasing with each word.Zayed was momentarily entranced by the fire in her eyes, the up and down heaving of her chest and the angry reddish coloring spreading across her smooth as satin skin."You are not needed here Zayed. You may leave" she said pointing at the door and Zayed was fuming.How dare she?? How dare she ask him to leave now that he has found out about his kids"You hid my kids from me for the past six years. And you are asking me to leave" Zayed asked in disbelief "You are a commitment phobe Zayed. And babies are the biggest commitment in the world. You may as well leave when you have the chance. And I won't let anyone hurt my kids. Not even their father" she said with absolute conviction "If you think
Zayed jerked away with a wince when he felt a pricking pain on both his thighs, and he looked down to see the two little boys biting on his thighs and the little girl trying to wriggle herself in between him and Aveline"Don't touch my momma" the little girl yelled at him and kicked him in the shin.He looked at her horrified."Zada, baby, no. You don't treat you elders like that. Zahir, Zian. Let him go" Aveline said in a trembling voice. Zada!! His daughter "He was trying to eat you momma" one of the boys said, his face softening when he looked worriedly at his mother."He wasn't baby" Aveline said gently "Your momma was in pain. And I was giving her a medicine" Zayed lied and saw the kids frowning at him and then turning to Aveline questioningly."Were you in pain momma?" the same boy asked and Aveline nodded without looking at them."Are you okay now momma." Zada asked and Aveline again nodded."Thank-you for helping our momma. But now she is fine. And you can go" the other bo
Ava sighed.She couldn't possibly drag it on any longer.The time has come.The moment she had dreaded for a very long time. She had expected the triplets to ask about their father at some point. But they never did so far. And she always wondered why they never thought about their father.And it did make her feel guilty at times.She shouldn't, but she did.Does that make her a fool?Damn yes!!But then she had always been a fool where Zayed Ahmed is concerned.She had convinced herself over the past six years that she has gotten over him. That she had moved on.Easy to say when he is nowhere near.But who was she kidding?She never stopped loving the man!!And that makes her all the more idiotic!!She looked up to see the kids still glaring at a frustrated Zayed"Sweeties! This is Zayed" she said gently looking at the kids."So??" Zian asked and Ava huffed in exasperation. "I have something important to tell you about Zayed" Ava said softlyAva led them all to the couch in the livi
I don't like himHe's not my daddyWe don't have a fatherZayed could still hear his kids's angry declarations.They hate him!!Just like he hates his father.They hate him for hurting their momma just like he hates his father for hurting his Mom.And they are fiercely protective of their momma!!! Just like he is protective of his Mom!!He was still driving around the city not knowing what do or where to go.He had almost driven into a nightclub but changed his mind at the last minute.The last thing the kids need to know is that their father is a drunkard.The last thing Aveline needs is a drunk husband.His brain stopped working.Two days.Just two days it took to turn his world upside down.Two days ago, he was the wronged party. Or so he believed. All it took was a flight home and to meet The Arif Mehboon face to face. And Boom!!It turns out he is the villain.A man who accused his wife of infidelity. A man who used his wife in the most cruel way and turned away from her.A man

"I, Zayed Ahmed al Zidra, hereby accept my role as the ruling Sheikh of the Sultanate of Zidra. I shall continue to preserve, and build upon the royal legacy and shall reign with righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the people forever" Zayed vowed, as he stood on the podium, with his right palm over his chest and his eyes staring straight ahead at the people of Zidra. "I invite everyone here to share my determination and work together for the nationâs prosperity and the peopleâs happiness as the ultimate goals" Zayed added His brothers were standing on either side as he made his vows to his nation and his people. The ceremony was followed by a large feast for the entire Zidra. The security has been strengthened as there were many people attending the ceremony, including dignitaries from the other countries. "Papa, there is a baby there. Zaif is playing with him" Zada said excitedly, pointing at the one year old baby boy playing with little Zaif. There was a green eyed g
Arabian Nation Of Zidra "So? Ready to take on the role?" Salim asked with a smile "As ready as I could ever be" Zayed said grumpily "You are born for this, Zayed. This is your birthright. You are going to love it" Salim said "No. You are wrong. It was your position, Salim. I don't think I will ever be able to overcome that fact. And how will I love something that I was never prepared for?" Zayed asked Salim chuckled. "Seven years ago, you were an artist, Zayed. A reclusive artist who had no interest in anything other than the artworks he created'' Salim pointed out "So? What's your point?" Zayed asked in irritation "And then you stepped into Zidra's oil business. Do I need to remind you that you excelled in it?" Salim asked "That's different" Zayed argued "Not really. Business is something you never fancied. Yet, over the years you started enjoying the thrill it gives. You love Zidra and our people, so there is no doubt that you are going to love this" Salim said "He is righ
SWEDEN"Just two more days" Zayed said with a sigh"We will take short vacations like this in the future too. Stop getting anxious about it. I know you are going to take a very important responsibility. One you weren't prepared for. But I am sure you will do it perfectly" Aveline said with a smile."I hope so" Zayed said"Where is Zian?" Zayed asked, seeing Zahir and Zada running around inside the house."He is outside. With Rocky" Aveline said"I think someone is moving in next door" Zayed said"Oh? Who said?" Aveline asked"I just saw the real estate agent who arranged this cottage for us. She was waiting for her clients. She said the deal is an almost done deal" Zayed said with a shrug."Papa! Papa! Can we have pizza? Pretty please?" Zada asked, running towards me."I want that one with cheese inside" Zahir demanded Of course, you wouldn't hear a please from him. Ever!"What have momma taught you, Zahir? When you ask for something?" Zayed asked sternly"But Zada already said it fo
"Last week of freedom" Zayed mumbled against Aveline's shoulder, as they cuddled closer in the bed.They were in Scotland, having a family vacation before taking over the throne and getting themselves involved in the matters of the nation."Sometimes it scares the hell out of me" Aveline said, and Zayed tightened his grip around her.He could understand that. He himself is worried.Taking over a position he was never prepared for."We will go through this together. And together we will be stronger" he said"I know" Aveline said with a smile"Are the little monsters asleep?" Zayed asked, dreading the moment they would come beating down their bedroom door.Aveline chuckled seeing the disgruntled look on her husband's face."They are. They were tired as hell after the long journey. Hopefully they will sleep through the night" Aveline said"Oh I really do hope," Zayed said, making Ava laugh."I think it's about time we taught them about privacy. They just can't always barge into our bedro
*At school* "I will miss you, Emily" Zada said hugging Emily tightly. It was their last day at school. They might never meet the kindergarten friends again. "I will miss you too. And I will miss Zian also" Emily said and Zahir made a face at that Aaron stood there with a fallen face. His first crush is going far away. "Momma and Papa is here" Zian said as he saw his parents walking towards them with baby Zaif secure in their arms. Emily grinned seeing the wrapped up baby. "Aunty? You took the baby out of your tummy? Wow!!" Emily asked excitedly. The last time she saw them, the baby was inside the aunt's tummy and she was dying to see the baby after it comes out. Maybe I should tell Maa and Paa that I also want a baby, she thought to herself. Aveline smiled seeing the little girl's excitement. "Haa. The baby got bigger, so we took him out" Aveline said with a soft smile "Can I see? Can I see?" Emily asked jumping on her feet and trying to take a peek at the little one. "No.
A few months later, LondonZayed was on a call from Salim."So? All wound up?" Salim asked"Almost. It's the last day of school for the brats. Then a short vacation at Scotland and we will be back to Zidra" Zayed explained his plans to his older brother, who was currently handling the political issues in Zidra, with Karim and Khalil."Scotland? When was that plan made?" Salim asked in confusion, because he was unaware of it until now"Made plans today morning only. Want a week for ourselves away from everything, before I take up the big responsibility" Zayed said, still dreading the huge responsibility waiting for him."Okay then. Have a good stay. I have a friend in Scotland. He has a resort there. I can make arrangements for you there" Salim offered "Uh no, Salim. I want to stay somewhere low key. Where nobody knows us." Zayed said and Salim hummed in understanding "Okay then, brother. See you in a week. And ask Basim to stop dilly dallying there. He came over there directly after
A couple of months later, The Ahmed Palace was decked up like a bride for the their national day celebrations The Ahmed brothers did the main prayer together as usual. "Let the bond only get stronger, touchwood," Fatima, their grandmother, said, warding off any evil eyes with a hand gesture. After the brothers did the aarti, Zayed and Basim stepped back so that their sister in law and Salim could do the prayer. No matter what, Salim and Camille will always do it together first. They aren't going to change that tradition to please anybody. "Zayed, please hold Anya for a moment" Camille said, handing over her one month old precious bundle to Zayed who took her happily. "Awwlee Is uncle's cutie pie awake?? Are you bored?? Don't worry, you will have a little brother or sister to play with and boss around soon" Zayed said cuddling the baby closer. Once Salim and Camille did the prayer, Salim took his daughter from Zayed and cuddled her closer. Zayed walked over to a heavily pregna
âHow are you taking it?â Zayed asked, wrapping an arm around his wifeâs bulging tummy from behind, as she stood near the window, gazing into the deserts. âHonestly? Feelings are mixedâ Aveline said with a deep sigh âYou know you can share anything with me, habibtiâ Zayed murmured against her ears. Aveline leaned back against his chest and placed her hands above his. âI knowâ âThen tell meâ Zayed prompted âI am happy that you are embracing your birthright, Zayed. But at the same time, I know you never wanted this. Your passion is art. And you had to give it up and choose business due to many circumstances in your life. One being meâ Aveline said âIt's not because of youâ Zayed protested âAnd now when you start enjoying this business field, another change. I am worried it will affect you emotionally to a greater extent than you imagineâ Aveline said and a smile grazed his lips, revelling in her concern for him. âI have you by my side. Why should I worry thenâ Zayed said and Avel
