Adham was in his room, standing before the mirror, dressed in his wedding suit. He combed his hair, a broad smile spread across his face. He stepped back a pace, picked up the bottle of perfume and sprayed it on himself, then set it down on the table. Turning, he walked to the liquor cabinet, opened it, took out a bottle and a glass, poured himself a drink and took a sip. He returned the glass and the bottle to their place, then headed toward the door. He stepped out into the corridor, rested his hands on the wooden banister, and looked down below.The living hall—that vast foyer—was filled with guests who had gathered, waiting for the wedding celebration.Naomi was in her room, standing before the mirror, while Jenny stood beside her, placing the veil upon her head. Naomi looked like the most beautiful bride on her wedding night. The child lay asleep on the bed.Jenny said, “The dress makes you look like a princess among princesses. I have never seen a bride as beautiful as you in my

Adham and Naomy smiled, and Adham glanced toward the hall to see Layla, his sister, standing in the corner, smiling at him and waving her hand with joy. Beside her stood her husband, Yassin.Layla, Adham’s only sister, with whom he shared an exceptionally close bond of love and tenderness since childhood, looked on this wedding night as if she were part of a royal tale herself. She was tall, her light brown hair cascading softly over her shoulders, shimmering under the hall lights, and her warm eyes reflected the compassion and gentleness that defined her heart. She wore a simple yet elegant evening gown in an ivory hue, draping lightly over her figure, revealing her slender arms and accentuating her slim waist without exaggeration. Her wrist was adorned with a delicate piece of sparkling white diamonds. Every step she took was calm and purposeful, a careful balance between grace and strength, shaped by the royal upbringing she had received, carrying a natural poise. A small scar on h

On the second floor, inside Adham and Naomi’s room,they stood before the large mirror. The light of the room reflected off the white wedding gown, amplifying its grandeur and solemn beauty.Naomi gazed at her reflection and sighed softly.“I can’t take this dress off by myself. It’s far too big.”Adham hesitated.“Shall I call Gana for you?”Naomi shook her head and replied calmly, with a trace of irritation:“Leave Gana for now. She’s busy with the child. I don’t want to spoil this night with his annoying cries.”Adham looked confused.“Then what should I do?”Naomi answered simply,“Help me.”He studied the dress and the veil carefully, then said with an awkward smile,“How? I have no idea how this works… it feels like a puzzle to me.”In a reassuring tone, Naomi said,“Good. I’ll tell you what to do. First, take off this long veil. It’s fastened with a very large number of pins. Just focus, and everything will be fine.”Adham stepped closer and stood behind her, staring at the vei

And the next morning…Naomi woke up, turned slowly, and looked at Adham. In a soft whisper overflowing with tenderness, she said:“Adham… good morning.”Adham, still under the haze of wine and lingering sleep, muttered without opening his eyes:“Only a hundred pins left… and I’ll take off the veil.”Naomi burst into loud laughter and said, amused:“You’re still stuck in last night! Wake up now and tell me the story of Layla and Yassin.”Adham finally opened his eyes, looked at her with a smile, and said quietly:“Good morning, Naomi.”Naomi replied:“Good morning, Adham. I know I exhausted you last night, but what else could I do? The dress was far too big. Come on, get up and finish telling me your family’s story—but from the beginning.”Adham shook his head and said:“No, I won’t tell my grandfather’s story again.”Naomi insisted gently:“Tell me what came after your birth, when you and Layla were children—where we stopped.”Adham smiled and said:“I’ll tell you.”At that moment, Ja

On the First FloorThe nanny and Janna were seated in the living room. The nanny sat on a chair, cradling the child in her lap, while Janna occupied the chair opposite, watching them in silence.Janna said with genuine surprise:— The child has never been this calm before, except when you are here.The nanny replied calmly, her eyes full of tenderness as she gazed at the child:— He needs me, just as I need him.The effect of her words was evident on the child, as a small smile formed on his lips.Janna smiled, saying softly:— He’s smiling… he’s never done that before. All he ever knows is crying.At that moment, Adham and Naomi descended the stairs toward the living room. Adham walked with calm, confident steps, and Naomi followed, a faint smile gracing her face. Adham’s eyes showed satisfaction as he looked at the nanny and Janna, and Naomi shared the same feeling.They reached the living room and approached the nanny and Janna. Adham stopped before them, with Naomi standing beside
