Chapter 131 : Fortunes

RashidI hated the way my hand shook as I held the phone up to my ear and the dial tone on the other end rang.I swore to myself that I'd never unblock this number and call it again, not until my child was grown and old enough to be on his own and in no danger of accidentally falling into their hands due to their manipulated whispering in his ear. But here I was with nothing else left to do but call the only people I never wanted to speak to again to ask for help.When the other end of the phone picked up, I sagged against the wall I'd been leaning against. I didn't want Lyla to overhear me begging my parents for anything, my pride was already destroyed with Hafsa telling me that the reason she'd taken my son was to destroy my future because I'd destroyed hers.Now I was in some dirty stairwell away from any prying eyes ready to get on my hands and knees and plead with the only people that I knew I couldn't trust other than Hafsa herself. "Hello?"M

Chapter 132 : Trade-Offs

Rashid"What's going on?" my sister asked.I never thought I'd be calling Salama of all people, but I was desperate for anything at this point. We'd never really gotten to be close as siblings with our parents always dragging us away from each other to groom us into the separate gendered roles we'd soon fall into once we were adults.It'd been sad to see my only companion at a young age, her being only a year and a half younger than me, get dragged off by her maid staff while we both kicked and screamed for the opposite to happen. We wanted to play and be children, not have the world's weight in responsibilities placed in our laps before we even knew how to drive. As I was trained to be the next future king, Salama was trained to be an attentive wife to whatever leader or high-profile man she found herself married to. Our mother had always planned big things for her. As the oldest daughter, she'd be the one to be married off first as was custom in our family line.

Chapter 133 : Unexpected Guests

LylaWhen I woke up, I was back in bed at Zayed and Melanie's house.I had no idea how I got here, but I wasn't about to try and figure it out. I remembered I'd asked to be sedated after that phone call with Hafsa, not being able to stop from dry-heaving the empty contents of my stomach longer than it took me to take in a full lungful of air.I couldn't cope anymore, my body was giving up on me and the only way that I was going to stop it from trying to actually kill me was to beg one of the nurses to put me under with something strong.My mind was fuzzy now that I was finally awake and alert enough to know where I was.Rashid must've carried me from the hospital and up to our room to tuck me into bed so I woke up comfortably. He was so sweet…Lifting myself up slowly, I winced when I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and quickly reached down to put my hand over it. My belly was still swollen from being pregnant and all over again I was reminded of the

Chapter 134 : Game Plan

RashidMy sister and her fiance arrived just shy of the sun setting the next day.It'd been a long while since I'd seen my sister, even before I'd left Dubai to come to the States to find Lyla again. We'd never been close as siblings and with her and my engagements happening at the same time, our schedules colliding were even less often.Still, it was nice to finally see a member of my family that wasn't interested in cutting me off just for the sake of not following archaic rules. Salama was a tough person to get along with sometimes, but her coming here to support me was more than enough to wipe away that age-old sibling strife.She hugged me when I greeted her at the door, a surprising gesture but one that I welcomed. My guards carried in her luggage, along with Javier's, who wasn't far behind her."How was your flight over?" I asked them both, briefly hugging Javier as well.I didn't want to, not after what Lyla had told me—but I needed all of th

Chapter 135 : Ground Zero

LylaWatching Rashid and his sister head into the kitchen, I let myself relax back on the couch.I was acutely aware of Javier's hands still hovering over mine, clasped around my own in a gentle hold that, if I didn't know any better, I would think was simply friendly and not anything else.Although, maybe it was. I'd spent so much time building up what he'd said to me the last time I'd been in Dubai, that I never stopped to consider if he'd changed his mind or come to his senses. Sure, he'd kissed me and confessed to liking me when he was still engaged but I was married now and had just had a child.Surely that changed things? Maybe it was just a random crush at the time and he's over it now. So much time had passed since I was last in Dubai, so surely he can't still feel the same way as he did then. Looking over at him, I smiled. At the very least, I wanted to keep the peace. "How have you been, Javier?"He smiled at me with that same boyish grin that I

Chapter 136 : Shared Ideals

LylaMy entire body went stiff at Javier's words. Did I just hear him correctly or is my mind playing tricks on me? "What… what do you mean 'go back home to Spain with you'?"Javier laughed softly, tracing his thumb over my bottom lip. There was an emotion in his eyes that I had a hard time coming to terms with recognizing—desire. He wanted me and apparently, he was going to use my baby as a means to get it. How sick to say that to a grieving mother.Then again, I'd kind of known this from our first time around. Javier played a jovial character, but there was something underneath all of those smiles that were a little bit sinister."What I mean to say," he pressed another kiss to my lips, startling me again, "is that once you and your baby are safe, I'm going to take you to Spain with me. You and Rashid haven't been married long, you still have time for an annulment."Biting my tongue was so fucking hard. Did he actually think my finding out about R

Chapter 137 : Cornered

LylaRashid hated having to leave me alone in the house with Javier, but if we were actually going to get this plan to work, Javier needed to know I was all in.I didn't care if deep down, tricking him made me into a horrible person. A mother had to do whatever it took to keep her baby safe and that's what I was going to do. Whatever the fuck it took to bring Nasir home, that's the only thing I was focusing on.If Rashid ended up hating me in the end, not being able to stomach the fact that I was in a way 'cheating' on him, then so be it. He could hate me while we shared custody of our son who would safely be back in California with us where he belonged. There was a part of me that felt horrible that Javier had actually succeeded in putting a wedge between Rashid and me, but in the end, it didn't matter. What's done was done and all any of us needed to do was roll with the punches.Rashid had given me the green light to do whatever I needed in order to affirm

Chapter 138 : Uncharted Waters

RashidThe moment I stepped back into the house, the tension in the air was palpable.Whatever had gone down in the time Salama and I had been out was something that I knew I wasn't going to be happy about. Lyla glanced up at me from the couch, her eyes filled with guilt as I made my way over to her. Javier was nowhere to be seen. If he'd forced her to do anything, I was going to lose my mind.Holding my hand to her, I helped her from the couch without a word. Her hand trembled in mine as I led her upstairs, her body pressed close to me the entire way up until we were behind our locked door.I brushed her hair back from her face. "Did he touch you?"She blinked up at me. "In… what manner?"I gave her a look. "Any matter, Lyla."She frowned. "He… held my hand…""And?"She blinked again. "And what?""That's it?""Yes? Rashid, I didn't suck his dick if that's what you're asking me."I blew out a breath, slowly dissolv

Chapter 139 : Get It And Go

RashidI rolled out of bed the next morning, giving Lyla a tender kiss on the head before pulling on some pants and heading downstairs. My plan was to make her breakfast and bring it up to her, not exactly as a 'thank you' for last night but something close to that. I'm sure her throat felt raw, especially from the way I'd completely abused it last night. She hadn't complained at all, in fact, giving me a look that suggested she was up for more the moment I was.Funny enough, I'd thought about it. But getting us back into the swing of things slowly was going to be a long process that I wanted to do as carefully as possible. While I appreciated Lyla's vigor to please me, I also wanted her to rest as much as she could while she was still recovering.I'd always be grateful for any kind of love and attention she showered me with, and rolling around in the sheets with her had ignited that fire in me that I'd come to be familiar with the feeling of her under me. Did I mi

Chapter 140 : Worlds Away

LylaIt wasn't long before Javier announced to us that we would be taking one of his private planes over to Abu Dhabi, an announcement that had every one of us living in the house excited and nervous all in the same breath. It had been just a little over two weeks since Nasir had been taken from the hospital, but it already felt like it'd been decades since I'd seen him last, felt him on my chest, and looked into those watery eyes of his as he drew in his first breathes of life.My heart was so empty without him here with me, and it was all I could do to keep from crying the moment Javier had pulled me aside privately to tell me he'd talked his advisors into giving us a decree to enter Abu Dhabi without a fight. I couldn't help but hug him out of gratitude, further selling the lie to him along with genuinely wanting him to know that I was truly grateful.I knew it was only leading him on further, but I didn't care at the time, nor did I now looking back at it. Even
