I never realized how big the palace was," Tequla said to the maid who was showing her around, Delilah. Delilah only muttered a response to what Tequila had said, not really paying her much attention. She wasn't as responsive as Aliyah and Aisha would have beenand Tequila had also noticed something quite hostile in her attitude, it made the tour less enjoyable. She was sure if Aliyah and Aisha were around, they would have made her laugh and made the whole tour fun. "I heard there's a music room here, the one my son, Uthman goes to play in. Can you take me there?"
"Yes, My Queen," Delilah replied. "This way." She stopped and took a different route from the one she was previously headed to.Tequila wasn't given any time to admire the scenery as Delilah was walking way too fast. Tequila was almost tempted to tell the young lady to slow down, but she already looked stressedand annoyed, like there was so many other things she could be doing, not being a tour guide for TeToday was the day. The day Tequila had tried to prevent since Uthman was so intent on his decision to marry her. Today was going to be the royal ball ceremony. Tequila sighed, she was still in her room, she has just been informed that Uthman was requesting her presence downstairs. Tequila couldn't deny that she wasn't nervous. She wished he had sent an escort, someone to help walk her down. She knew she would make an entrance, she was the one getting married to the Sheikh after all. She took in a deep and pulled the door open. Tequila knew very well that if she stood there debating on the issue, she would never leave that place and Uthman would come drag her himself. Knowing the man he was, she wouldn't be surprise if he did. Aliyah and Alisha we're not allowed to talk to any guest in the ceremony except they were spoken to first, or it was an emergency, this means they couldn't keep Tequila company. As she walked down, a guard walking behind her, and one before her, Tequila was alr
Tequila watched from the corner and prayed that Uthman doesn’t disgrace both of them, she has never seen a man driven by jealousy and she hated the way she found him so hot to begin with. The was he was raging if anyone came close and the way he saw the doctor as a threat to him, it was laughable. Tequila had quite an expensive taste if you judge by the men she always found herself attracted to but she would not have anything to do with the doctor. “Good evening distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, we have another reason to celebrate. We would be having another royal wedding in the next two weeks and Ikram would have a queen” Uthman’s voice boomed across the room and at his pause, the crowd started cheering. A few eyes darted to her while the rest looked around, obviously trying to find the supposed bride. “Habibti, come to me” He turned to look at Tequila and he held out his hand. At that moment, he didn’t look like a man who was just trying to mark his territory. He looked
Uthman sat with his mother as he watched Tequila and her son walk down the corridor, she was whispering to the young child and he was giggling at her facial expressions. looking at them warmed his heart, very soon he would be let into their tiny circle. They would be a whole family again without all the obstacles but how would he do that when the woman sees every opportunity with him as an avenue for a fight? he hated to do this with her but she wasn't ready to accept the fact that they would be married soon. They would start their own little family very soon and Uthman would bet that he wasn't going to miss out on that. Missing three years out of his son's life was something he kept beating himself up for. he should have looked back after that night, he should have replied when the manager told him that the stripper had an emergency. he felt like she was every other woman who after finding out who he truly was, wanted a piece of his wealth. at least he wrote her enough checks and he
Tequila looked around as the jeep blew through the desert sand and for the first time she actually saw the beauty of the desert. it was pretty and the pictures didn't do justice to it. WhileUthman was helping her pack her things for the getaway, she was looking through images of the supposed place online, she didn't get much because it was a private resort for the royals. She had to swallow her pride and ask Uthman for pictures, the ones he provided were distracting. He was either half naked and his chest was glittering with the sun reflection, there was no way she could actually get a clear view with his whole body full on display here. From the little she saw, the place was very pretty and she knew she would definitely enjoy the whole place. Tequila looked at the way Uthman's hair was flying around with the wind and she felt like he looked different from the man she had known. The Uthman here looked very different from the one she knew and she hoped this one was around for quite a
They walked tiredly into the resort and Tequila was too tired to look around. She had walked down to the resort from the ruined glory with Uthman. She was quite exhausted but the thrill of it all was out it with Uthman. She didn't even think of a day where she would be so relaxed to take a walk with him, maybe after he told her about his father she started seeing him in a new light and she was willing to do this with him. She didn't see him as an arrogant sheikh anymore, she saw him as a man who was broken by his own father and he needed to get himself back. He was breaking the circle of abuse and trying to be a better father for his own son. Tequila opened the room door and all she could say was wow, the rooms have been arranged for their preparation and she had to commend Uthman for his thoughtfulness. it was looking for comfortable and it looked like a place she would love to be for the next few days. She dropped her tiny bag and she started to strip off her clothes, she would lov
Uthman took quick breaths before walking into tequila's room, things had been smooth between them since they got back from the resort, and Uthman kind of enjoyed it. he wanted to ask her for a favor and he didn't know how it might make her feel, he already consulted his mother and she gave him the go-ahead. The earlier it was, the better for both of them. The only problem he had was if Tequila mixed it all up. He didn't want to come off as a psychopath who was tricking her to make things work and gain control over their lives. He was waiting outside and he decided to push the door open and go in after realizing that he looked stupid by standing outside and doing nothing. This wasn't the way he planned for it to go but the more he got closer to Tequila’s room, the more his courage disappeared. He didn’t know whether it would ruin what was between them or not. He hated how his fear was taking control of his head. He started breathing evenly before he let his anxiety get the best of him
Tequila watched the Arab princess go too close to Uthman and she held her cutlery a little bit too tight. She hated to be perceived as jealous but since the forsaken princess came, she had done nothing but make the rift between them wider. since their fight, nobody barely said a word to each other and the princess was making matters worse. Tequila hadn't said a word to her ever since they were introduced and she intentionally snubbed her even after Tequila offered her a smile. Uthman junior coughing from his meal brought attention to him and they both reached for the glass of water at the same time, her son turned to drink from his mother's cup before climbing into her legs. tequila stood up from her meal before offering everyone a tight-lipped smile and she carried her bot out of the dining room. She hated eating together with them but since she and Uthman made up, she started coming back to the sitting room. she hated how awkward everything was at the moment. She headed for her r
Tequila was feeling better already but one thing that didn't feel better was her heart. She hated how she was feeling unwanted yet at the same time, she wanted to embrace all the love Uthman was offering. She would never forget how he insinuated that she was sleeping with Amir. No matter how much she tried to get it out of her head. It still kept on coming back to her, she couldn't stop thinking about the fact that this man thinks she would sleep with anyone. Her call girl days were over after she found out she was carrying little Uthman and after her baby came, she never looked down that path again. She was comfortable and even when Ali came into their lives, he made things softer for them. This was the third day since her going home request wasn't granted, all he did was try to provide reasons why she should stay. Here was unsafe for her, at least back in her house with Dream, they had cameras and the FBI would find anyone that harmed her swiftly. A man tried to kill her in a hall
