He was speaking in Farsi, their local dialect and Tequila didn't understand anything he was saying. She didn't understand a word, but she could swear on her life that Uthman was cursing. He was speaking aggressively and looked really angry. Without saying a word to Tequila, he stood up from the bed and walked out of the room, leaving Tequila staring at him in shock."Great," she muttered to herself. "I'm left feeling like a fool once again... wouldn't be the first, second, or third time. Fuck me!" She slammed her fist on the bed. Then rolled to her side and remained in that position. "I know I haven't been the best, but I do not deserve this."Uthman hurried out of Tequila's room. He was going down the stairs, Uthman slowed down when he saw him. The one-man he hated more than anything else in the world, Amir. He was walking straight to the palace, dressed in a black suit. The last time Uthman saw Amir, he was much leaner, had longer hair, now he was more built, his

Today 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

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

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

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
