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
Chapter 22- A new friend.Tequila was still reeling from the fact that her pictures from when she was an escort were still on the internet, someone still had them. Coupled with the attack that she had not too long ago, it was getting obvious that someone was against her. Tequila knew that she was not well accepted in Ikram and many people did not want her to be Queen, but she did not think that they would go as far as hurting her and bringing out pictures from her past, all to dissuade Uthman from marrying her.Tequila did not want to marry Uthman herself, it was all her against her will, and she would gladly leave with her child if the sheikh would just let her, she did not want to be hurt."Someone is trying to get me, someone who does not want me is trying to make sure I go away, that is why someone attacked me and that is why these pictures are surfacing now," Tequila said to Uthman. Uthman looked so deep in thought, almost like he was not hearing her but he nodded."I know this,
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
Chapter 24- Catching up.Tequila did not know how much she missed her sister till her sister was there in Ikram. It was so nice to be able to talk to her again."Wait, Tequila. So you mean that Ali named Uthman after his cousin that was actually Uthman's father?" Dream asked after Tequila had told her everything that happened. She was trying to wrap her head around it."Well yes, basically," Dream said in agreement."And now someone is trying to kill you because they do not want you here?" Dream asked asked again and Tequila nodded her head."Correct," Tequila said. It was refreshing to be able to tell someone that understood how her life was before then what was going. It was such a shift from normal for her and Uthman and even Amir did not understand that. Tequila missed Ali, he would get her. She liked to think that she would not even be in the situation at all if Ali was alive."So all we need to do is to catch the person that wants to kill you and your baby and kick the person's
"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
