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

Tequila held little Uthman in her arms and was grateful for the excuse. She was not very comfortable about her past so it was difficult for her to start talking about it. She was ashamed of the things that she had to do, but not for the reasons that she did those things. Tequila would do it all again for Dream and she would not regret it."I will leave you and Uthman then, I will go on to my room," Amir said and stood up to leave."Uncle Ali!" Uthman shouted as he saw the man. It was understandable that her son mistook Amir for Ali, they were not identical, but they look well enough like each other. Aisha had told her that Amir was Ali's estranged brother and that was why Uthman said Ali was an only child. Amir stared at the child in shook as the little legs moved to him. The child hugged him at his legs and Amir was a bit confused. How did the child know Ali?Amir picked up little Uthman weirdly as the child began to play with his shirt."I missed you," Uthman said in baby tongue. It

"Oh I am so going to enjoy my stay here. I already love the both of you," Dream said to Aisha and Aliyah who seemed to be basking in Dream's praises."Thank you Princess Dream," they both chorused. As far as Tequila knew, her sister was not royalty, the only royal Dream was related to, was Uthman. For the life of her she could not figure out why Dream insisted to be called Princess Dream. Both Aliyah and Aisha loved Dream on first sight, her sister tended to have that effect on people it was something that Tequila was proud of."Wow, Uthman and his ancestors were so hot," Dream said as they stopped at the Royal portraits of all the kings that had ruled Ikram. Tequila caught herself looking at Uthman's picture again, she could look at the man's pictures forever."It is such a shame that you have him all to yourself," Dream joked to Tequila and she rolled her eyes. It was clear to her that her sister was on Uthman's side and she only supported her since they were related by blood, nothi

Tequila looked outside the window of the car and she was in awe. She would admit that she expected a rural settlement. Maybe people in dirty clothes and dirty streets and tattered people. That was the idea that she had. The land of Ikram was a bit removed from civilization, at least that was what she thought. The place was beautiful, it was clean and it was serene. And yet it had a homey feeling to it. Tequila could smell bread baking, she could see women dressed like she was walking down the streets with their family. She could see children playing. "The place is so beautiful, it is not as elegant as the palace but it is very beautiful in it's own right," Dream said. Her face was glued to the other side of the window. It seemed that her sister had taken the words right out of her mouth."It is, Dream," Tequila agreed."We should stop at the marketplace, it will be the perfect place to tour and see Ikram," Amir suggested and Uthman clapped his hands. Tequila wondered if he had been t

Tequila could not get the contents of the letter out of her head. After that day they all went back to the palace and she was back to her reserved self. She was the way she was when she was attacked in the palace. The only difference was that Dream was with her now and she was scared for both her life and the life of her son.Uthman jnr did not seem to see anything wrong at all, he just played around her room all day. Tequila was too scared to leave the room and so she moved Uthman jnr's things to her room as well.She only left her room to see Aliyah and Aisha. Aliyah was not seriously injured, but the bruises all over her body made Tequila feel so guilty. It was all her fault, it was her fault that Aliyah was lying in pains in that room."I am going to see Amir," Dream said as she stood up from the chair. Tequila only gave her a glance and nodded."Are you serious? You would just let me go? Just like that?" Dream asked and Tequila sighed. It was clearly not the reply she was looking
