Kidnapped by the Arab

“This is not what it seems,” Ahmed said as he held the newspaper in his hands.

Aisha observed him in silence, which made him even more desperate. He remembered everything that had happened with Lyna and his children.

“You’re not leaving. I’m telling you now, there’s no way you’re leaving,” he said.

Aisha replied sternly, “I’ll tell you two things, Ahmed Assad. First, I’m waiting for your explanation, and I’m not going anywhere. Second, if I decided to leave, you couldn’t stop me. I’m not your property.”

The Sheikh bowed his head, feeling ashamed. The fear of losing her drove him crazy.

“Yesterday,” he paused as he sighed, “when I left here, I felt terrible. My greatest desire is to have children with you, and knowing that you don’t want them made me realize that you don’t feel the same way about me. I needed something strong to drink, and as you know, alcohol is practically forbidden here, especially for nationals. I decided to go to a clandestine bar. At that moment, I didn’t think about the consequences and ended up drinking one bottle after another until I lost control.”

“At first, when I saw those images, my first thought was to leave here. But when I looked at the photo again, I noticed your vacant look.”

“I don’t know who those girls are, and I don’t remember being with them. Once, I lost my family due to infidelity, and I won’t repeat that mistake again. Someone must be behind all this, and I assure you I will investigate it.”

Aisha moved closer and sat at the edge of the bed next to him, hugging him and resting her head on his chest.

Later, after showering and taking some painkillers, Ahmed went to his office and immediately called Zafir.

“I need you to investigate some things.”

“Tell me, sir.”

“Last night, I went to the ‘Black Knight.’ I don’t remember anything about it.” He handed the newspaper to Zafir. “I need to know who is responsible and who was in that place. Clearly, there are people there who want to harm me.”

“I’ll get right on it, sir.”

At the Sheikh’s palace, Basima and Arkham celebrated what had happened.

“Hahaha, I’d love to see my brother’s face. This is the first of many scandals I’ll create for him. In a while, we can demand his removal.”

“Well done, son. Soon, you’ll be the Sheikh, and then we can ensure that our traditions are respected in the United Arab Emirates. Everything must return to how it was before. Your brother wants to change or soften our laws, and we can’t allow that.”

Aracha listened in silence. She had to make Arkham fall in love with her to manipulate him. Their father had offered them his full support.

At night, Ahmed met with Zafir again.

“We’ve investigated. The recordings from that day were deleted, and the girls were interrogated by our men. Your brother, Arkham, called them and ordered the photos. Besides, he owns the Black Knight.”

“So, it was Arkham. My mother must be supporting him.”

“What should we do, sir?”

“Gather all the evidence you can on this matter. Then, investigate everything you can about my brother. I want a detailed report on all his wrongdoings. For now, we’ll let them act and think that they can destroy me. I want to see how far they can go and what they are capable of doing to achieve their plans.”

“You must be careful, sir.”

“Don’t worry about me, Zafir. We have to let Arkham think he’ll be the Sheikh. It’ll be fun to see their faces when they realize the truth.”

In Italy, Carlo was with his mother.

“How do you feel, Mother?”

“My son, you must improve your relationship with Vittoria. I want my grandson to be born within a family.”

“Mother, for now, her recovery is all that matters.”

“Promise me, son. I want to hear it.”

“Rest, Mother.” Carlo left the room, not wanting to make a promise he wouldn’t keep.

Vittoria entered to take care of her mother-in-law. She would stay under her care to be away from Carlo.

In a bar, Sonia was desperate. If she found Mía, Carlo would take her away from that place. She couldn’t bear dancing and being touched by drunks every night.

She knew her daughter was in Dubai. She was tempted to go there.

She needed to find Mía’s real father, who was in Italy. The man didn’t know he had a daughter. Sonia got pregnant after a one-night stand while she was the man’s lover, and she deceived him, claiming that Caroline was his daughter. When Mía’s mother died, they went to live with them shortly after.

Decisive and without thinking again, she bought a ticket to Italy. It was her only way out. She would tell him about their daughter in exchange for a generous amount of money.

Two days later, she stood in front of a luxurious mansion, and after a few minutes, a woman with an arrogant expression opened the door.

“¿Cerchi qualcuno?”

”

Excuse me?”

“American?”

“Yes.”

“Do you need something?”

“I’m looking for Vinizzio De Vincenzo.”

“The master hasn’t arrived yet. Why are you looking for him?”

“It’s something private and urgent.”

The housekeeper thought she was just another one of her boss’s conquests.

“I’m sorry, you’ll have to come back another day.”

“No, I have to see him now.”

“I told you the master is not here.”

At that moment, a luxurious car entered from the side and drove into the mansion.

“He has arrived, wait here,” the housekeeper said as she turned around and closed the door behind her.

Minutes later, she opened the door again. “The master can’t see you right now. He says to come back later.”

“That’s not happening. I didn’t come all the way here to not see him,” Sonia said furiously as she pushed the woman and entered the house.

“SECURITY!” the housekeeper shouted as she ran after her.

Sonia made her way inside the house, with the housekeeper and two guards following her. She reached the living room, where a man sat in an armchair, smoking his pipe.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“Are you sure you don’t remember me?”

“I have no idea who you are.”

The guards approached and grabbed Sonia by the arms. Feeling they were about to throw her out, she decided to tell him the truth.

“Sonia, I met you in New York when I visited your friend Mayers.”

“It’s been many years since I’ve been to the United States.”

“We have a daughter,” she blurted out.

“Hahaha, get this woman out of here.”

Sonia freed one of her arms, took a photo from her purse, and threw it at him.

“She has your hair and eye color.”

Out of curiosity, he took the photo, and he froze when he saw it. The girl in the picture was identical to his late daughter. She had died a few years ago when she confronted a rival group. His wife had died after giving birth, and Alessia was his greatest treasure.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He made the Roman clan pay dearly for his daughter’s death. Two of the sons of his enemy fell, leaving only one, who was very elusive. Sooner or later, he would catch him.

“If you’re lying, you’ll pay for it. Where is my supposed daughter?”

“She’s on vacation in Dubai.”

“Why did you decide to tell me all this now?”

“When I was with you, I had a partner. I made him believe that she was his daughter. He has died, and Caroline thinks he was her father.”

“Caroline?”

“Yes, that’s her name.”

“I want you to bring her here. We’ll do a DNA test.”

“I hope I can convince her to come. Our daughter has a difficult character.”

“I don’t care what you have to do to convince her. Bring her here, and you can take some of my men. They’ll go on my private plane.”

“Alright, I’ll go get her,” Sonia said with a malicious smile.

If she was truly his daughter, Vinizzio would be the happiest man on earth. After an accident, he was told he could no longer have children, and Alessia was the only child he had ever fathered.

The next morning, Sonia headed to Dubai, confident that her life was settled. Seeing Vinizzio’s reaction to the photo of his daughter, she believed that he would be easy to conquer.
