Tears streamed down Sarah's cheeks as she zoomed away in the cab. She hated leaving Ghazi like this, but what else could she do? If she stayed, he was sure to crush her heart with his bare hands. As it was, her heart was already broken by leaving him. How could she run from the best thing that ever happened to her?

Ghazi had been closer to her in the past few hours than any man ever before. She tried to tell herself earlier the connection would be purely physical and would leave her with a lasting memory of her trip here, but after their intense lovemaking, the tenderness he showed her while caressing her cheek, kissing her lips, she realized her body was not the only part of her affected by him. She couldn't bear the thought of waiting while the feelings she imagined Ghazi had for her turned to apathy. It was bound to happen.

Worse, that woman showed up. That married woman, no less. Not to mention she was so much older than him, so hardened and crass. It sickened her to think he was with someone like that. She could hardly stand the thought of sharing him, and yet she’d been a fool to think he was capable of anything more. She was one of many. She had a bad feeling about that, but now her suspicions had been confirmed.

Ghazi Deniz was a fantasy. And their romance and true love? Ha! His kind words and loving embraces were exclusive to the bedroom, but would not extend out into daily life. He did not love her. True, he acted caring and concerned, but he would stop once he found someone else more to his liking. She had to remind herself that Ghazi was an experienced player who likely wouldn't even miss her at all. He hadn’t even bothered to get rid of his other girlfriend’s clothing, and made her wear it too!

The fact he didn’t want that other woman out in such skimpy clothing only made things worse. He obviously said that to everyone he met.

Somehow she had to get over this, find a way to look back on this experience as just that - an experience, one that filled her with immense physical pleasure and nothing more. The thought proved impossible to live by in reality. She allowed Ghazi to come too close and now she did what she promised herself she wouldn't do - she fell in love with him.

"Where are you headed to, lovely lady?" asked her taxi driver, gazing at her through his rearview mirror.

Sarah initially considered finding the local airport and paying whatever it cost to get to Istanbul just to put as much space in between her and Ghazi as quickly as possible, but suddenly realized, "I need to go to my hotel. I’m sorry but I don’t even remember the name. It’s that gorgeous one, high on the hills on the coast near Troy.”

“Ah yes, the Royal Princess.”

Princess. What irony. She thought she was Ghazi’s princess.
