Chapter 19

Ramit stared at the contents of the envelope. The naked pictures of his sister were there, spread out over his desk. They’d fallen out of the manila envelope with a note that said, “The land deal is off.”

Just like that? The idiots returned the photos and called off their demands that he finance their building project?

And why the hell had they sent him printed photos? What had they done to the digital images? The ones that Todras and Mathis had sent to him via email?

What the hell was going on? He wasn’t sure, but he would ask his security team to investigate Todras and Mathis. Ramit needed to figure out what those two idiots were up to. Their blackmail scheme had obviously gone ridiculously wrong. Were the two men as bad at blackmail as this seemed? Surely no one was this stupid!

However, Ramit wasn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth. But who had sent him the incriminating pictures and why? He couldn’t compare handwriting since Todras and Mathis had only communicated with him via email.

His thoughts flashed to Maggie. Had she done this? Had she somehow realized that he was being blackmailed and addressed the situation?

No, that didn’t make sense. Maggie was…?

He was going to say that she was a self-centered bitch. But that wasn’t true. Maggie was soft and sweet and…and she’d just wanted a bit of spoiling. Was that why she’d sidled up to Barney Mathis? Or was there something more going on?

He’d never know.

With a heavy sigh, Ramit picked up the scattered pictures, stuffing them back into the envelope, and walked out of his office.

“Where’s my sister?” he asked of his assistant, Hamud.

Hamud jumped to his feet, and bowed quickly before he replied, “I believe Princess Ciara is in her office, Your Highness.”

Ramit nodded, then turned down the hallway. Ciara had set up her personal office outside of the administrative wing of the palace. He’d never understood why she’d chosen to be so far away from everyone else. Nor had he ever figured out exactly why she’d needed an office. What did she do all day? Years ago, he’d thought that his sister shopped for a living. Ciara was always well dressed in the latest fashions. And she traveled to all of the fashion capitals around the globe. Hell, she’d just returned from Milan two days ago.

Is that where she’d met the man in the pictures? Did she have other lovers? An even more important question; did her fiancée know about the other men?

And why the hell wasn’t Ciara married yet? She’d been betrothed to her fiancée over ten years ago on her seventeenth birthday. She’d looked star-struck on that day.

However, he hadn’t seen that expression on her lovely features since then. In fact, the last time Falk bin Alon, Sheik of Itim, had come for a visit, Ciara had been mysteriously absent.

Why hadn’t Ramit realized that something was off with his sister’s engagement? How had he been so oblivious about his sister’s
