Desert Encounter
Chapter 55

Emir was in his office when his phone rang and he picked it up, it was Zeyneb, she didn’t usually call him.

She was one of the few people with her cell phone.

– Hello Zeyneb

– your…your majesty

– what’s going on Zeyneb? Are these the children?

– no, please come to the orphanage it’s urgent.

If that’s what she said then it was true, Zeyneb was a woman with a lot of values ​​and lying was not part of her vocabulary.

He then got up and headed outside when he met Maïra in the large corridor leading to the exit.

– where are you going Emir? She began

– at the orphanage. Said he stopped.

Afraid that he would lie to her and not being sure that the stranger had returned home, Maïra then added

– I will accompany you.

Emir stopped and turned to glare at her.

– as far as I know, you are not my wife yet. Try to behave well and avoid any childish behavior if you want to become one, you have one month left.

She clenched her jaw as he walked towards his car accompanied by his guard closer.

Maïra had tried all possible means to get the master in his bed, to use all her charm but nothing had done, however before, a single look and the sheikh responded to her whims.

He had changed, and she didn’t like it.

It was all this stranger’s fault.

After a good two hours where he couldn’t hold it any longer, he finally arrived. The playground was empty; the children must have been studying.

He entered and found an elderly woman sitting next to Zeyneb drinking yet another tea.

– Your Majesty. Said Zeyneb, getting up when she saw him enter.

He had left his personal escort in front of the entrance guarding the premises.

His gaze then met the tired gaze of this mother whose face immediately reminded him of that of the one he loved so much.

– Where is she? He said immediately.

– At the infirmary. Zeyneb replied. But…

He didn’t wait any longer and hurried on towards the designated place.

The infirmary was a large, immaculate room where sick children from the orphanage were received when the doctor came to visit them.

He opened the room, what he saw shocked him then broke his heart, before a strong anger grew within him.

There she was lying in that bed, pale-faced and pregnant.

She was pregnant.

He didn’t doubt who the father could be, he knew it was his but how did she get there.

So tired, pale, why hadn’t she tried to meet him, to see him, how long had she been in Rub’al Khali?

He noticed a chair placed near the bed and moved it to a corner of the room where he watched her sleep.

He didn’t move, even when his mother came in to see if her daughter was okay, he didn’t say anything and watched her do it.

He wanted to take her in his arms and take her away from this place but first he had to wait for her to open her eyes and she did.

When her eyes met his and she called him, all his will to remain impassive was gone

– hayati (my life) he said.

And she burst into tears, he came closer to her and took her in his arms.

– it’s now over. He said softly

– why did you come. she said while crying.

– because Zeyneb called me.

– and why did you stay, you said that…that… she said, clutching her suit jacket.

– shh, I didn’t say anything at all, you’ll tell me all that later, but first let me take care of you.

– Emir. She whispered

– I’m here hobi, and know that I won’t let you get away from me again.

– the baby…

– I know hobi, I didn’t doubt it for a second.

He lifted his face to look at her and captured her lips. The k**s was slow and controlled, he didn’t want to rush her, but he needed it to realize that he wasn’t dreaming.

The door opened once again to reveal Rosalie

– mother. Said Naomi

– I’ll come back. She said as she left.

– my mother is…

– I think so too, rest hayati, I have to speak with your mother.

– Emir is my mother

– I know hobi

He kissed me one last time before leaving and Naomi finally seemed to find her peace
