Chapter 33After lunch, Alexandre calls Zayn for a conversation. Laila is trembling, hoping the sheik will accept without any issues.Zayn admires Alexandre for initiating this conversation; if he hadn't, Zayn would have done so.Alexandre is direct and shares his feelings and intentions with Zayn."What kind of relationship do you intend to have with Laila, Mr. Aguiar?" Zayn asks, looking him in the eyes, arms crossed, leaning against a chair."As soon as you marry my daughter, I intend to do the same with Laila.""Very well. I'm happy with your decision; it's the right thing to do. I approve of this union. From today onwards, Laila will dine with us and no longer work in the Al-Abadi mansion.""From what she told me, she loves cooking, and I wouldn't want to take that away from her unless she wants it," says Alexandre, leaving that decision up to her."Alright. I'll talk to her about it. I'll hire others to take care of the rest of the work."In the kitchen, accidentally, Laila brea
Chapter 34Zayn walks to the bed, crouches down, and his suspicions are confirmed; there's an animal under the bed. Upon seeing it, the snake crawls towards him. Zayn stands up slowly, never taking his eyes off the large cobra. He makes body movements that confuse the snake, as if under a spell, with each of his movements, she follows him, until he quickly reaches out and grabs it.Zayn observes the animal in his hands, leaves the room, goes straight to his security and hands them the animal, telling them to search the whole house. He knows more than anyone that the cobra was deliberately placed in his room. He goes straight to the harem room, entering without warning, startling some women."Aisha, I don't know what your game is. Why do you want to hurt Morgana? I removed the snake from the room.""Oh, my sheik, how awful! Why accuse me? I'm terrified of snakes; I wouldn't go near one," Aisha says, horrified. Some of the women confirm that she's indeed afraid of the animal, and they w
Chapter 35At dinner, everyone is happy, especially Laila, who is sitting next to Alexandre. Honestly, she feels like a lovestruck teenager, her eyes light up every time she looks at him.Morgana observes Laila's happiness beside her father and how well he treats her, wondering if he was like that with her mother. Probably, he was. He's an excellent father, and he must have been an excellent husband.Morgana feels a penetrating gaze, and when she looks to the side, she sees Aisha blatantly watching her without averting her eyes, as if she wanted to say something.Returning her attention to Zayn, she talks to her fiancé and her father about the wedding. Aisha isn't worth her concern.Aisha takes her place, as usual, she was the last to arrive at the table. As she sits down, she wrinkles her lips in displeasure when she sees Laila sitting at the table with everyone."So now we have to share the table with the servants?" she says with an air of superiority, tilting her nose."Aisha!" Zay
Chapter 36Laila feels like crying, she doesn't know how she'll escape her aunt's clutches, and she doesn't have the courage to admit that she lost her purity last night."Now, what do I do?" she thinks unhappily.Aunt Nana makes her take a bath and wear one of her pajamas. Before lying down, Laila looks at herself in the wardrobe's mirror; her face reflects the sadness she feels for not being able to run to her beloved.She sighs in disappointment and lies on her back so her aunt won't see her sadness and her teary eyes."Goodnight, my dear," Nana says and turns off the light.In the room, Alexandre undresses and takes a shower while waiting for Laila. It's been a stressful day full of surprises, and he wonders who could have killed the drug dealer.After the shower, he assumes enough time has passed for Laila to return. Just thinking about her makes him smile. This young woman has affected him like no other in all these years, and he's completely smitten with her.She's beautiful, a
Chapter 37The next morning, early, Laila sighs in frustration. She hardly slept, trying to find the right moment to escape, but nothing worked. Right at this moment, her aunt is in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone since she woke up very early.Laila gets up and goes straight to the bathroom to take a cold shower to see if that fire in her body subsides. She had no idea that being intimate with a man was so good and addictive.Just thinking about Alexandre, his deep voice, large and warm hands, and his kisses with the taste of the sweetest date found in the desert..."Oh, it's so hot..." she says, fanning herself and heading to the bathroom.Her shower is quick. She puts on a light dress and leaves the room. She looks around, doesn't see anyone, and sneaks into her beloved's room, hoping he's there.She enters without knocking, closes the door behind her, and her heart races as if she's running from the police.Alexandre is looking at himself in the closet's mirror, tying
Chapter 38On the same day, Nana talks to Zayn about having a companion for Laila. She noticed the tension between the couple during the day and suspects that her niece may give in to temptation, while she could wait a bit longer.Zayn agrees to Nana's suggestion to bring the companion who has been with Laila all the time. Alexandre expresses his displeasure at Laila not revealing everything at once.Four days pass in this situation, and the long-awaited moment between Zayn and Morgana arrives. Both of them feel happiness overflowing from their hearts.Laila and Morgana have spent the past few days training, and right now, they are in the room."You're becoming even more beautiful than you already are," Laila says."Thank you, I can't wait for you and my dad to get married.""We still have two weeks to go," Laila says reluctantly, looking in the mirror's reflection at the companion who has been with her day and night in recent days.Morgana's hands have been painted with henna, and he
Chapter 39The big news of Morgana's pregnancy took everyone by surprise."Am I going to be a granddad?" Alexandre asks, still in disbelief."Congratulations," says Laila.Zayn hugs his wife. His heart, which was bleeding with fear of the worst, is now overflowing with love and happiness."Oh, habib, my love. I couldn't be happier with this news. I thought that... I was so scared..."Laila wipes the corner of her eyes. She is very happy for the couple, but her mind starts to work. She knows she needs to tell the sheikh about what she saw Aisha do.So, she waits for the couple to discuss the news and then calls Alexandre; her fiancé will be the first to know.Alexandre follows Laila, and they go to the hospital's cafeteria. She tells him what she saw and what she did, and her fiancé becomes thoughtful."Do you think it was a sedative?" he asks."Yes.""I believe it was poison.""Oh! By Allah! If it was poison, she drank it," Laila says with wide eyes.Meanwhile, back at the Al-Abadi ma
Chapter 40Several days pass. Alexandre attempts once again to tie the silk tie, Régis' latest invention, of course. His fingers tremble; he's tied countless ties of various types and styles in his life, yet today, it feels like the first time.He doesn't know what's worse: trying to tie it and having it slightly puffy, as Régis mentioned, or using the clip ring below the knot. He's so stressed that he furrows his brow, and his jaw twitches."What the hell!"He feels like a lovesick teenager. It's been so many days without touching Laila that he's practically climbing the walls. It's as if he'd never been married in his life.Finally, he managed to tie the darn knot and put the ring on. Now for the other embellishments."Régis owes me for this! I look like a mannequin that's about to be placed in a store window," he complains when he sees all the accessories on his suit.In addition to the tie with the ring, there's the silk handkerchief in his pocket, a red rose with a clip, and cuff
Chapter 47A few months later, after an excellent dinner, the couples go for a barefoot walk on the beach. They feel the fine, cold sand of the beach on their feet, the moon is full and illuminates the path they walk on.Morgana is almost nine months pregnant, walking slowly while embracing Zayn. In the last month, the couples walk on the beach every morning and evening.The doctor asked Morgana and Laila to walk a lot, wiggle and dance, to facilitate dilation and help the babies fit in the pelvis.In addition to eating at least six dates a day to help with a faster labor, and having sex, lots of sex, as it helps to thin the cervix when it is ripe, orgasms help with uterine contractions, aiding dilation, and finally, the feeling of relaxation that helps start labor, nothing more comfortable for the couples."This doctor is my kind of guy, I never thought I would like one so much," says Alexandre, smiling as he sits on the sand and gently pulls Laila to sit with him."I agree," Zayn sa
Chapter 46Morgana and Laila are carried into the mansion by their husbands, who hold them in their arms up to the bedroom."Shall we take a shower and sleep for a while?" Zayn asks."I can barely stand," Morgana says, taking off her clothes to quickly bathe. "It was an agonizing few hours.""I hope they didn't touch you inappropriately," says Zayn, also taking off his clothes to shower with her."No.""Thank goodness. Come on, habib, my love."Zayn bathes his wife in the shower and fills her with affection until he can't take it anymore and fills Morgana right there, standing up. With her back turned, he slowly penetrates her between the thrusts and observes her beautiful buttocks. He holds her waist and one of her breasts."Ah, habib...""Zayn... Love, that feels so good..."Minutes later, Morgana and Zayn sleep embraced.***Alexandre enters the room with Laila in his arms and places her on the bed, taking off her shoes. Laila shivers at the touch of the man who claims to be her hu
Chapter 45Minutes later, Laila is being evaluated by the doctor, never taking her eyes off Alexandre.She stays silent the whole time, looking at him questioningly, only stopping when the doctor says something that surprises her."Mrs. Aguiar, I will do an ultrasound to see how the babies are," the doctor says.Laila looks at the doctor, trying to understand what he meant, and says, "Who is Mrs. Aguiar? Babies? Are you talking about me? I'm sorry, doctor, you're confusing me with someone else."The doctor looks silently at Laila and Alexandre, who also falls silent. His suspicions have just been confirmed."Mrs. Laila, do you remember who this man is?" the doctor asks, pointing to Alexandre."No," she says, blushing."This is Alexandre Aguiar, your husband," the doctor responds, making some notes and continuing, "You're pregnant, I need to do an ultrasound to see how the babies are."Laila widens her eyes indignantly."How can I be pregnant if I've never been with a man, doctor?!" La
Chapter 44On the way, Zayn tells Morgana about his fear of losing Nana and his brothers who stopped touching Laila's belly.This comment made her anxious, and by instinct, she puts her hand on her own belly, feeling her baby move in response. Her eyes fill with tears as she imagines Zayn's pain regarding Nana, who is like his own mother, and Laila and her father's pain regarding the babies."Oh God! Please take me to them, I need to see them," Morgana says."Right now, my love. Don't you want to stop by home first to take a shower?" Zayn asks."No, I need to see them. I want to know how Nana is doing, if she's out of surgery and awake, and if my brothers are moving. I won't be able to go home and rest before seeing them," Morgana replies."Of course, my love. We'll do that," Zayn says.Alexandre feels a lot of stinging in his injured arm, but at least it's no longer bleeding. He believes that the weakness he's feeling is because he lost too much blood.He will definitely need at leas
Capítulo 43Zayn and Alexandre rush to the car and call Mustafa, who tells them about Laila and Nana."What action have you taken regarding the kidnapping?" Zayn asks, getting into the car on the way to the hospital."The whole agency is on the streets, the police have blocked the roads with cars and helicopters. They can't have gone far, they might have already been found," Mustafa replies."I hope so. But I have my doubts, Naim is very cunning. By the sound of his voice, he seemed willing to do anything. I'll hang up, I'll be there in five minutes."Alexandre is silent, his daughter has been kidnapped again and his wife is in the hospital. Only God can make him endure so much pain.At the hospital, Zayn and Alexandre run in. The father-in-law's face shows desperation. He knows Laila's pregnancy is delicate because she's carrying twins, and he knows this is tormenting him, especially since Mustafa told him that she fell after being hit with the butt of a gun."Sir, this way," Mustafa
Chapter 42The kidnappers smile with their mission accomplished and get into the vehicle, closing the windows.The vehicle calmly passes through the city streets as if it were any other car until they arrive at a building.In the parking lot, they switch cars. Everyone still has their faces covered, and the only one who can touch the kidnapped woman is the chief kidnapper, who takes her to the other car, gently laying her on the seat, and sends a message to the mastermind.At the Palace Hotel, Naim's phone vibrates in his pocket. He takes it out and discreetly reads the message:"Mission accomplished!"Upon reading it, he smiles, feeling the taste of revenge in his mouth. He puts the phone in his pocket as the long-awaited moment has arrived, and he needs to disappear quickly."Zayn, my friend, I'm going. I have a lunch meeting with a client.""You can go, we're done for today.""Thank you," Naim says, but he tastes bitterness in his mouth. After all, it's not easy for him to pretend
Chapter 41After returning from the clinic, Alexandre gathers everyone and shares the news."Your shot was on target, Dad," Morgana says, laughing.Nana, who was seated, quickly stands up."What do you mean? So soon? It's not possible; it's too early. Even if Laila was in her fertile days, it's not enough time for the symptoms," Nana says, placing her hands on her waist and squinting slightly. "Laila..."Laila swallows hard, looks desperately at her husband, and then at her aunt."How many weeks are you?""Approximately five weeks," she responds in a hushed voice.Nana lowers her head, quickly calculating in her mind, and then looks back at her niece."You got married while pregnant! Why didn't you tell me you weren't a virgin anymore?"Zayn furrows his brow and looks at Alexandre, who raises his hands and says, "I told her several times to tell the truth."Zayn looks at Laila, who smiles shyly and says, "I was embarrassed...""Stay calm, Laila. All this stress isn't good for the babi
