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
Chapter 14Zayn spends the whole day working at the new resort, quickly getting to know everything and attending some very tiring meetings.In his office, at the end of the day, he is ready to leave when Naim enters to greet him.“As-salam alaikum” (Peace be upon you). Zayn, my brother, what a pleasure to see you again.“Alaikum As-Salaam” (And upon you be peace). Naim, I haven’t seen you all day.“Business, always business. Starting tomorrow, I will be at the resort, everything has already been taken care of, I no longer need to be away. I saw that you’re leaving, can I accompany you?”“Of course!”, he answered, heading towards the door. “And my house?”“Everything is in order, as soon as you finish settling in the mansion, I will return to my own house. And what about the desert rat, what did you do with him?”“I haven’t done anything yet. He must be in Dubai, he’s a wanderer, and doesn’t stay in one place for long.”They walk through the reception to the exit and Naim says:“I alre
Chapter 15"After visiting the doctor, having to bandage his hand and take some medication to combat the pain and swelling, Alexandre takes a quick shower and gets dressed. He puts on a custom-made Italian suit that accentuates his physical stature. He's running very late; the show has probably already begun.Honestly, belly dancing fascinates him, there's no denying it. He can't help but be captivated by the beautiful women gracefully moving their hips.It took longer than necessary to shower and get ready because of the pain in his hand, but as soon as he's ready, he leaves the room and heads toward the elevators.***In the hotel restaurant, Zayn introduces Morgana as his girlfriend, leaving everyone astonished that Zayn managed to find such a beautiful foreigner.They order their meals, and while waiting, the dancers start their performance.

Chapter 16Alexandre stands up, holding the woman's wrist, who looks at him in surprise."Daughter!"Morgana is left speechless seeing her father right in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes."Oh, my dear!" He hugs his daughter tightly. "My little baby.""Daddy..." She says through tears, embracing her father around the waist."How are you, my love?"Carlos can't believe she's okay, it doesn't seem like she was kidnapped. He stands up, watching them embrace."Oh, my beloved daughter. Thank God I found you! My love, if anything had happened to you, I don't know what I would do," Alexandre says, tears of emotion in his eyes.Naim returns from the kitchen, stops on his way, and watches the scene. Then he looks at the stage where Laila finished her performance and then at Zayn, who is conversing somewhat restlessly until he looks to the side.Zayn freezes, everyone at the table stops to see what made him go silent so abruptly. A murmur arises as they see his companion embracing ano
