Chapter Five
Zayn was exhausted and fell asleep in the armchair with his cell phone in his hand.On the bed, Morgana moved her head from side to side. Frowning, she let out a slight moan of pain.“Oh…” Turning her head a little more, a sharp pain seized her. “Ouch!”Morgana put her hands on the top of her head, the unbearable pain hitting her. She also felt her mouth drying out and a strong discomfort in her throat. She managed to open her eyes slightly. For several days, she had woken up in the dark and felt very cold, but now everything was different. She was lying on a soft bed, with a huge window next to her, through which the soft light of the moonlit night came in.Once again, a sharp pain in her head made her groan loudly:“Aaah!”Zayn wakes up as quickly as he fell asleep. He gets up abruptly, causing his cell phone to crash to the floor. But he takes no notice of this fact.She's awake, he thought, before approaching slowly so as not to startle her.Morgana watched the moonlight. Her body felt a little sore, but what hurt most, apart from her head, were her feet, because she had walked so much in the desert. The memory alone made hot tears run down her face.Where am I? At home? At the Aguiar Mansion? But I don't recognize this room. Maybe it's a guest room…Feeling a movement on her right side, she turned her face and was startled to see Zayn. She jumped onto the bed and cowered far away from the man watching her silently.Zayn looked down, then Morgana realized she was completely naked. She pulls the covers over herself with more tears in her eyes.Feeling horrified at what he might have done to her, Morgana tries to lubricate her lips with the tip of her tongue, and then tries to speak:“What have you done to me? Why am I naked?,” she asked with great difficulty, completely upset and desperate.Zayn had just spotted a problem. The girl spoke Portuguese, and he only understood a few words, but not enough to understand her.The sheik tried to talk calmly to the young woman, to convey serenity in his voice, but in his language, nothing he could say would make her calm down.Noticing her difficulty in swallowing and coughing, he raised his hands to the bedside. Slowly, he picked up a jug, poured some water into the glass and offered it to her.Morgana was thirsty, but on the other hand, she was afraid of accepting it and being poisoned. So she summoned up all her courage and turned her face away, denying herself the water her throat had been begging for.Zayn couldn't get any closer, as she was too scared. Thinking for a moment, he tried to communicate in English, since the girl clearly didn't understand his language.“It's water, drink it.”Morgana looked at Zayn, and her gaze showed that she understood what he was saying very well.The sheik held out his arm again, offering her the glass. As Morgana was too thirsty to ignore it, she accepted; if she didn't drink the water, she might faint.With trembling fingers, Morgana held out her arm. Her body was shaking so much with thirst and hunger that she could barely hold the glass.She drank the water in a hurry. When she finished, she felt a strong pain in her stomach. Since he had been empty for so long, even the water was bothering him.Morgana grimaced as her stomach felt heavy and sore. Then she handed the glass back.“Stay away from me!” she said, frightened, but in a firm tone.“Sure.”Zayn was reassured, at least she could communicate in English. He thought the girl's voice was beautiful, and his whole body shivered at the light, husky tone.“Would you like something to eat?,” He's still talking in English.“My stomach hurts, I don't know if I'll be able to eat anything now.”"Alright. I'll leave the water jug right here close to you, in case you want more water. The bathroom is over there. If you'd like to take a shower, feel free to do so," he said, walking over to his massive closet to grab a towel and a robe.He left the items at the foot of the bed within the girl's reach and headed toward the room's door."If you want to lock the bathroom door, that's fine. I'm not your kidnapper, so you can relax. A doctor has already been here to examine you and informed me about your delicate condition. Next to the water jug, there's pain medication. It's also anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. Take it, you'll feel better. If you need anything, I'll be outside."Morgana found herself alone when Zayn left the room. Recognizing that he indeed wasn't the one who kidnapped her. She managed to pay attention to his tone, which wasn't that of the man who mistreated her for days on end.But perhaps he bought her from her kidnapper."If that's the case, he's just as disgusting as the other one!" she thought.Lost in her thoughts, she swung her legs off the bed, grabbed the water jug, and despite the stomach ache, filled a cup to take the medication.Running her hand through her hair, she felt the rough skin and heavy hair. She really wanted a good shower, as she felt filthy.She made the decision to clean herself, heading to the bathroom. Morgana was astonished by the luxurious and extremely modern environment, much more so than her mansion.After figuring out how to work the water controls, she filled the bathtub with very warm water. The desert's daytime heat burned her shoulders and feet, while the intense night cold made her shiver.Despite the suffering she had endured, Morgana was able to trust the Arab man who was taking care of her. He seemed like a good person. His melodious and low voice; his striking, seductive yet concerned gaze.Morgana couldn't help but notice him, as everything he did put her on alert.Still feeling a certain apprehension about being attacked by him, maybe even claimed for having been purchased, and believing he has every right in the world over her.Yes, he must have bought her from the cursed human merchant. And once again, she grew angry at him, but on the other hand, he seems much better than the other one, who reeked of camel dung.How many times had she vomited upon smelling the unpleasant odor of that man? She couldn't stomach even the water he offered, let alone eating something. In fact, Morgana couldn't eat because he gave her the same thing every day, a bowl of slop that looked like vomit.Morgana had never seen his face, living blindfolded. The man only removed the blindfold to offer her food, but he covered his own face during these moments.Now, she was submerged in the hot water of an immense bathtub, cleaning all the dirt that had accumulated on her skin and hair.With a smile on her lips, she forgot for a few moments everything she had been through in the last few days. Closing her eyes, she savored her pleasurable moment in the water.After several minutes, Morgana got out of the bathtub. She needed to know who that Arab was.Determined, she dried her entire body, put on the robe, and went to confront him, despite being very weakened.Chapter 47A few months later, after an excellent dinner, the couples go for a barefoot walk on the beach. They feel the fine, cold sand of the beach on their feet, the moon is full and illuminates the path they walk on.Morgana is almost nine months pregnant, walking slowly while embracing Zayn. In the last month, the couples walk on the beach every morning and evening.The doctor asked Morgana and Laila to walk a lot, wiggle and dance, to facilitate dilation and help the babies fit in the pelvis.In addition to eating at least six dates a day to help with a faster labor, and having sex, lots of sex, as it helps to thin the cervix when it is ripe, orgasms help with uterine contractions, aiding dilation, and finally, the feeling of relaxation that helps start labor, nothing more comfortable for the couples."This doctor is my kind of guy, I never thought I would like one so much," says Alexandre, smiling as he sits on the sand and gently pulls Laila to sit with him."I agree," Zayn sa
Chapter 46Morgana and Laila are carried into the mansion by their husbands, who hold them in their arms up to the bedroom."Shall we take a shower and sleep for a while?" Zayn asks."I can barely stand," Morgana says, taking off her clothes to quickly bathe. "It was an agonizing few hours.""I hope they didn't touch you inappropriately," says Zayn, also taking off his clothes to shower with her."No.""Thank goodness. Come on, habib, my love."Zayn bathes his wife in the shower and fills her with affection until he can't take it anymore and fills Morgana right there, standing up. With her back turned, he slowly penetrates her between the thrusts and observes her beautiful buttocks. He holds her waist and one of her breasts."Ah, habib...""Zayn... Love, that feels so good..."Minutes later, Morgana and Zayn sleep embraced.***Alexandre enters the room with Laila in his arms and places her on the bed, taking off her shoes. Laila shivers at the touch of the man who claims to be her hu
Chapter 45Minutes later, Laila is being evaluated by the doctor, never taking her eyes off Alexandre.She stays silent the whole time, looking at him questioningly, only stopping when the doctor says something that surprises her."Mrs. Aguiar, I will do an ultrasound to see how the babies are," the doctor says.Laila looks at the doctor, trying to understand what he meant, and says, "Who is Mrs. Aguiar? Babies? Are you talking about me? I'm sorry, doctor, you're confusing me with someone else."The doctor looks silently at Laila and Alexandre, who also falls silent. His suspicions have just been confirmed."Mrs. Laila, do you remember who this man is?" the doctor asks, pointing to Alexandre."No," she says, blushing."This is Alexandre Aguiar, your husband," the doctor responds, making some notes and continuing, "You're pregnant, I need to do an ultrasound to see how the babies are."Laila widens her eyes indignantly."How can I be pregnant if I've never been with a man, doctor?!" La
Chapter 44On the way, Zayn tells Morgana about his fear of losing Nana and his brothers who stopped touching Laila's belly.This comment made her anxious, and by instinct, she puts her hand on her own belly, feeling her baby move in response. Her eyes fill with tears as she imagines Zayn's pain regarding Nana, who is like his own mother, and Laila and her father's pain regarding the babies."Oh God! Please take me to them, I need to see them," Morgana says."Right now, my love. Don't you want to stop by home first to take a shower?" Zayn asks."No, I need to see them. I want to know how Nana is doing, if she's out of surgery and awake, and if my brothers are moving. I won't be able to go home and rest before seeing them," Morgana replies."Of course, my love. We'll do that," Zayn says.Alexandre feels a lot of stinging in his injured arm, but at least it's no longer bleeding. He believes that the weakness he's feeling is because he lost too much blood.He will definitely need at leas
Capítulo 43Zayn and Alexandre rush to the car and call Mustafa, who tells them about Laila and Nana."What action have you taken regarding the kidnapping?" Zayn asks, getting into the car on the way to the hospital."The whole agency is on the streets, the police have blocked the roads with cars and helicopters. They can't have gone far, they might have already been found," Mustafa replies."I hope so. But I have my doubts, Naim is very cunning. By the sound of his voice, he seemed willing to do anything. I'll hang up, I'll be there in five minutes."Alexandre is silent, his daughter has been kidnapped again and his wife is in the hospital. Only God can make him endure so much pain.At the hospital, Zayn and Alexandre run in. The father-in-law's face shows desperation. He knows Laila's pregnancy is delicate because she's carrying twins, and he knows this is tormenting him, especially since Mustafa told him that she fell after being hit with the butt of a gun."Sir, this way," Mustafa
Chapter 42The kidnappers smile with their mission accomplished and get into the vehicle, closing the windows.The vehicle calmly passes through the city streets as if it were any other car until they arrive at a building.In the parking lot, they switch cars. Everyone still has their faces covered, and the only one who can touch the kidnapped woman is the chief kidnapper, who takes her to the other car, gently laying her on the seat, and sends a message to the mastermind.At the Palace Hotel, Naim's phone vibrates in his pocket. He takes it out and discreetly reads the message:"Mission accomplished!"Upon reading it, he smiles, feeling the taste of revenge in his mouth. He puts the phone in his pocket as the long-awaited moment has arrived, and he needs to disappear quickly."Zayn, my friend, I'm going. I have a lunch meeting with a client.""You can go, we're done for today.""Thank you," Naim says, but he tastes bitterness in his mouth. After all, it's not easy for him to pretend
