Chapter Five
Zayn was exhausted and fell asleep in the armchair with his cell phone in his hand.On the bed, Morgana moved her head from side to side. Frowning, she let out a slight moan of pain.“Oh…” Turning her head a little more, a sharp pain seized her. “Ouch!”Morgana put her hands on the top of her head, the unbearable pain hitting her. She also felt her mouth drying out and a strong discomfort in her throat. She managed to open her eyes slightly. For several days, she had woken up in the dark and felt very cold, but now everything was different. She was lying on a soft bed, with a huge window next to her, through which the soft light of the moonlit night came in.Once again, a sharp pain in her head made her groan loudly:“Aaah!”Zayn wakes up as quickly as he fell asleep. He gets up abruptly, causing his cell phone to crash to the floor. But he takes no notice of this fact.She's awake, he thought, before approaching slowly so as not to startle her.Morgana watched the moonlight. Her body felt a little sore, but what hurt most, apart from her head, were her feet, because she had walked so much in the desert. The memory alone made hot tears run down her face.Where am I? At home? At the Aguiar Mansion? But I don't recognize this room. Maybe it's a guest room…Feeling a movement on her right side, she turned her face and was startled to see Zayn. She jumped onto the bed and cowered far away from the man watching her silently.Zayn looked down, then Morgana realized she was completely naked. She pulls the covers over herself with more tears in her eyes.Feeling horrified at what he might have done to her, Morgana tries to lubricate her lips with the tip of her tongue, and then tries to speak:“What have you done to me? Why am I naked?,” she asked with great difficulty, completely upset and desperate.Zayn had just spotted a problem. The girl spoke Portuguese, and he only understood a few words, but not enough to understand her.The sheik tried to talk calmly to the young woman, to convey serenity in his voice, but in his language, nothing he could say would make her calm down.Noticing her difficulty in swallowing and coughing, he raised his hands to the bedside. Slowly, he picked up a jug, poured some water into the glass and offered it to her.Morgana was thirsty, but on the other hand, she was afraid of accepting it and being poisoned. So she summoned up all her courage and turned her face away, denying herself the water her throat had been begging for.Zayn couldn't get any closer, as she was too scared. Thinking for a moment, he tried to communicate in English, since the girl clearly didn't understand his language.“It's water, drink it.”Morgana looked at Zayn, and her gaze showed that she understood what he was saying very well.The sheik held out his arm again, offering her the glass. As Morgana was too thirsty to ignore it, she accepted; if she didn't drink the water, she might faint.With trembling fingers, Morgana held out her arm. Her body was shaking so much with thirst and hunger that she could barely hold the glass.She drank the water in a hurry. When she finished, she felt a strong pain in her stomach. Since he had been empty for so long, even the water was bothering him.Morgana grimaced as her stomach felt heavy and sore. Then she handed the glass back.“Stay away from me!” she said, frightened, but in a firm tone.“Sure.”Zayn was reassured, at least she could communicate in English. He thought the girl's voice was beautiful, and his whole body shivered at the light, husky tone.“Would you like something to eat?,” He's still talking in English.“My stomach hurts, I don't know if I'll be able to eat anything now.”"Alright. I'll leave the water jug right here close to you, in case you want more water. The bathroom is over there. If you'd like to take a shower, feel free to do so," he said, walking over to his massive closet to grab a towel and a robe.He left the items at the foot of the bed within the girl's reach and headed toward the room's door."If you want to lock the bathroom door, that's fine. I'm not your kidnapper, so you can relax. A doctor has already been here to examine you and informed me about your delicate condition. Next to the water jug, there's pain medication. It's also anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. Take it, you'll feel better. If you need anything, I'll be outside."Morgana found herself alone when Zayn left the room. Recognizing that he indeed wasn't the one who kidnapped her. She managed to pay attention to his tone, which wasn't that of the man who mistreated her for days on end.But perhaps he bought her from her kidnapper."If that's the case, he's just as disgusting as the other one!" she thought.Lost in her thoughts, she swung her legs off the bed, grabbed the water jug, and despite the stomach ache, filled a cup to take the medication.Running her hand through her hair, she felt the rough skin and heavy hair. She really wanted a good shower, as she felt filthy.She made the decision to clean herself, heading to the bathroom. Morgana was astonished by the luxurious and extremely modern environment, much more so than her mansion.After figuring out how to work the water controls, she filled the bathtub with very warm water. The desert's daytime heat burned her shoulders and feet, while the intense night cold made her shiver.Despite the suffering she had endured, Morgana was able to trust the Arab man who was taking care of her. He seemed like a good person. His melodious and low voice; his striking, seductive yet concerned gaze.Morgana couldn't help but notice him, as everything he did put her on alert.Still feeling a certain apprehension about being attacked by him, maybe even claimed for having been purchased, and believing he has every right in the world over her.Yes, he must have bought her from the cursed human merchant. And once again, she grew angry at him, but on the other hand, he seems much better than the other one, who reeked of camel dung.How many times had she vomited upon smelling the unpleasant odor of that man? She couldn't stomach even the water he offered, let alone eating something. In fact, Morgana couldn't eat because he gave her the same thing every day, a bowl of slop that looked like vomit.Morgana had never seen his face, living blindfolded. The man only removed the blindfold to offer her food, but he covered his own face during these moments.Now, she was submerged in the hot water of an immense bathtub, cleaning all the dirt that had accumulated on her skin and hair.With a smile on her lips, she forgot for a few moments everything she had been through in the last few days. Closing her eyes, she savored her pleasurable moment in the water.After several minutes, Morgana got out of the bathtub. She needed to know who that Arab was.Determined, she dried her entire body, put on the robe, and went to confront him, despite being very weakened.Chapter six Barefoot, Morgana surveyed the room and made her way to the closet. She was searching for something she could conceal within the robe to protect herself. Recalling an old piece of advice from her father: "Looks can be deceiving." This Arab might seem good, but it's better not to try anything or he'll regret it, she thought while picking up a tie pin, hiding it within the robe's pocket. Morgana didn't find anything else she could use to defend herself, or the unfamiliar man might immediately sense her intentions. Summoning her courage, she released a long sigh and slowly left the room. As she opened the door, she carefully walked through the room. Morgana found no one. The space was vast, and she had no idea where the Arab might be. Suddenly, everything seemed to slow down. Morgana looked around. In the hall, observing the entrance door. Her eyes sparkled. She quickly sneaked toward the door. With increasing adrenaline, her heart began to beat faster, her hands becomin
Chapter Seven Certainly! Here's the translation of the text into English: "Alexandre Aguiar hadn't slept for days, he was extremely nervous. His new approach was to scream endlessly at his security guards and anyone who appeared in front of him. The head of security, Carlos, chose to call a doctor for his boss before taking off. Alexandre was only contained when four of his security guards held him down to receive a hefty dose of a powerful sedative. Upon being immobilized, Alexandre threatened everyone, even the pilot, and then passed out. "Is he okay, doctor?" Carlos asked, concerned. "Yes, he'll just sleep for a good while. When they reach their destination, if he has another anxiety attack, seek help," the doctor responded. Carlos thanked him and began the preparations for takeoff, securing the boss in bed. Looking at him now with a serene demeanor, he doesn't seem as arrogant, especially since his daughter was kidnapped. "Morgana," Carlos whispered softly, remembering the
Chapter eight Zayn went to a nearby store, conversed with the saleswoman, and requested women's clothing that wasn't too flashy but also didn't cover the body too much. The woman showed him a pair of leggings and a slightly sheer, black, loose-fitting, long floral shirt. With a discreet smile, Zayn approved of the saleswoman's choice. Having checked Morgana's shoe size, he easily selected comfortable footwear for her, considering her injuries. Satisfied with his purchases, he returned to the hotel and handed the bags to the young woman, who somewhat awkwardly thanked him and went to change. When Morgana returned to the living room, Zayn looked at her from bottom to top, speechless. His eyes clouded with the sensations she evoked within him. "I didn't think you could become even more beautiful than you already are," he commented, admiring her. Slightly embarrassed, Morgana thanked him for the compliment. She had never felt shy around a man; she was usually very uninhibited. "Com
Chapter Nine She removed her leg from his lap, stood up, and walked to the window, silently admiring the landscape, lost in her thoughts. Thinking about her father and everything she had been through in these past days. The luck she had in Zayn finding her. Luck? Yes, she believes it was luck, it’s the only answer she has to her own question. He approached, lightly touching her shoulders, interrupting her thoughts and causing her to shiver, even through the fabric. “Are your shoulders still hurting?” he asked, near her ear, turning her to gaze into his ocean-colored eyes. She swallowed hard; being this close to his face made her heart beat erratically. Zayn is like a soothing balm. “Are you okay?” she held onto his arms after feeling a little unsteady. How to tell him that simply being near her makes her legs weak? “I... I'm okay, thank you.” Still unable to control her legs, she leaned on his shoulders, feeling Zayn shudder at her touch. Or was it herself? She was so disorien
Chapter 10As soon as she lands in Saudi Arabia, Alexandre Aguiar hurriedly exits the plane, walking through the corridors towards the exit where a car awaits him.Before getting into the car, a man approaches him.“Mr. Aguiar, what a pleasure to see you again!” says Rodolfo, extending his hand.Alexandre recognizes one of his daughter’s ex-boyfriends and accepts the greeting.“Are you here for work in Arabia, Rodolfo?”“You know how it is, part of the job. Have you just arrived?”“Yes, I had a family issue and ended up coming here.”“But your only family is Morgana. If it helps, in case she’s running away from you, I saw her about two hours ago.”Alexandre listens with his mouth open to the most recent information about his daughter, swallowing his tears and tries to be casual.“Yes, that little rascal ran away. Could you tell me where she went and who she’s with?”“She and her boyfriend went to Dubai.”“Boyfriend? What boyfriend?” he asks dumbfounded.“She’s with a sheik, he says hi
Chapter 11Nana leaves Laila to take care of Morgana and goes back to the kitchen to finish dinner. Laila gently sponges Morgana’s back, sitting beside her in a large bathtub and sighs, saying:“You have such beautiful skin, it’s a pity it’s so bruised on your shoulders and feet.”“Thank you, I don’t feel any pain anymore. Nana healed me with a honey solution she made, the pain and burning sensation disappeared and it healed quickly.”“I’m glad you don’t feel anything anymore. Mr. Zayn is in love with you too, how could he not be? You’re so beautiful.” Laila chatters, revealing her hidden emotions. “I wish I were like you, thin and beautiful, but I can’t lose weight for long. Anxiety always gets the best of me when I’m getting close to my goal. Every time I dress up to dance, I cover my body as much as possible, I don’t like my little fat rolls being visible.”Morgana looks at the woman who is almost her age and says,“Zayn in love?”. She smiles, finding it amusing. “I find you beauti
Chapter 12Alexandre Aguiar gets off the plane, heads towards the exit, his body exudes tension, he is close to finding out where his little princess is.“Carlos, take me to the most expensive hotel in Dubai, if this sheik is so rich, I won’t be surprised if I find out that the hotel is his.”“Yes, sir.”In the kitchen, Nana scolds her niece, who remains silent with a pout and teary eyes.“How could you put the necklace on her without the sheik’s consent, my daughter?” Nana exudes tension.“Auntie, he is so in love, I thought it wouldn’t be a problem.” She defends herself.“I hope it won’t come, come help me clean the kitchen, I’m exhausted, I need to rest a bit.”Laila tells Nana that she fell in the living room while going to announce dinner.“You what? Are you having problems with labyrinthitis?”“I don’t know, auntie. But just in case, I’ll schedule na appointment with some doctors and see about it.”Nana frowns, her niece has always been careless with her health, she hoped she wo
Chapter 13Morgana doesn’t even try to get up, she just lies naked in the sheets, watching him get up.“I’m weak, my legs won’t obey me, it was so intense, Zayn. You are so delicious, I’ve never had one as big as yours.”“I’m flattered, habib. But you have no idea how desirable and wonderful you are. You’re extremely passionate, I couldn’t resist and didn’t want to.” He says, complimenting her.She smiles, Zayn walks with his member semi-erect and goes to the closet to get robes for both of them.“I’ll fill up the bathtub while you recover.” He says, heading to the bathroom.Morgana ponders, everything was so wonderful that she even forgot to call her father.“Oh, God! My father must be so worried!”She looks to the side on the nightstand and sees a phone, she picks up the phone and dials her home number, calls twice and no one answers.“That’s strange...”She calls her father’s cell phone directly, nothing, calls again, keeps calling until the call drops.Morgana frowns, it’s strange
