Chapter Eleven

Emily's suspicions awoke after they landed in Nahr. She had expected that there would be a connecting flight that would get her back to the United States. Instead of being guided to a commercial flight, however, two suited men escorted to the parking lot, where a sleek black sedan was waiting for them.

“No, this is wrong,” she said in confusion. “I am meant to be going back to the United States.”

The men looked down at her politely, but there was nothing yielding about them.

“Our orders are to get you safely to the sheikh's residence at the Plaza,” one said, and from the serious way they looked at her, she could tell that they meant it.

“No,” she repeated, as if speaking more loudly and more clearly would help them understand. “I was kidnapped. I was sold. Sheikh Adnan…he rescued me. I am supposed to go back to America.”

The man speaking to her shook his head. “I am sorry. My orders come from the sheikh himself. He says that you are to be taken to his residence.”

Emily had shed so many tears over the plane trip that she could find no fresh ones for what came next. Instead, all she could find in her was rage.

“No,” she said, loudly enough for a passing group of businessmen to look up in concern. “No, I refuse. I am not leaving here unless it is to get on a plane that is going to take me back to the United States. I do not care what the sheikh says.”

The man looked pained.

“Then perhaps it is best that you speak to him about it,” he said, and in that moment, Emily understood that she could enter the car of her own free will, or she could be picked up and placed in it.

“Fine,” she said, forcing every bit of icy civility she could muster into the word. “I will.”

She got into the car with dignity, noting the driver's relief. He wasn't the one that she was angry with after all, and when she calmed down, Emily realized she didn't want to make his life harder. No, the one who had made this happen to her was Adnan, and when she got to the Plaza, wherever it was, she was going to demand answers.

At least, that was how it was supposed to go.

The Plaza turned out to be the tallest skyscraper in Nahr, a beautiful glass and steel monument to Nahr's prosperity. The lower levels were a riot of exclusive shops and boutiques, food vendors and purveyors of the rare and exotic. Above them were the most powerful businesses in Nahr, along with several government offices. Far above them was the two-story penthouse reserved exclusively for the sheikh's use.

As she traveled up the elevator, still under the watchful eye of a guard, Emily wasn't sure she had ever felt quite so much like an imposter. In her green silk ensemble, she looked like many of the other elegant shoppers that populated the Plaza, except for her blonde hair.
