The next morning, she showered and dressed, not wanting to enter the embassy looking like she’d come off the streets. She drove over to the small, squat building. Compared to the royal palace, it seemed out of place in her vision of Zaradi. It was so very…bland.

When she opened the door, there was a long entryway that led to a desk with glass windows in front of it. There, a woman was sitting and staring at a computer. Rachelle waddled up to the desk, and when the woman looked up, her eyes widened.

“Can I help you, ma’am?”

Her voice was so familiar. Rachelle had heard it every single week, telling her the royal family could not be found. Telling her that her search was for nothing. Telling her to give up, in so many words. Rachelle smiled at her, undeterred.

“My name is Rachelle Smith. I’m looking for Sheikh Darian Al-Adain.”

The woman’s eyes widened as she looked Rachelle up and down.

“You’re the woman who keeps calling?”

“That would be me. You can’t hang up on me now. I need to know where he is. This is urgent.”

Rachelle subconsciously glanced down at her belly, and regretted it. She had just told the woman, in no uncertain terms, that the children belonged to the Sheikh. It was clear, even from behind the glass wall, that the receptionist was stunned. After a moment, the woman blinked, remembering that she had been addressed.

“I’m terribly sorry, Miss Smith. I really am. The truth is that we have no information regarding the royal family. There is nothing I can do for you, whether you are here or not.”

Rachelle watched her carefully, trying to find the lie. When the woman held her gaze, Rachelle’s eyes began to water, as they so often did, and she wobbled dangerously on her feet.

“Ma’am! Are you all right?”

The woman stood, prepared to walk around the enclosure, but Rachelle placed a bracing hand on the wall and waved for the woman to sit back down.

“I’m not going to faint. I just…I just thought…”

Rachelle couldn’t help herself. She burst into tears. She was so alone and scared. She had driven so far so late in her pregnancy because she had hope that somehow, some way, she would be able to find Darian, and the nightmare could end. She was lost now, so far from home, with no one but this stranger watching her with open discomfort.

“There, there. It’s going to be all right. Whatever it is…”

The woman’s eyes darted down to an envelope on her desk, and even in her misery Rachelle noticed a hesitation. As she continued to cry, she shifted to get a better look at the envelope, and her heart began to race.

There, sitting on top of a pile of papers, was a package with very unusual handwriting on it. Handwriting that Rachelle had spent months staring at, as she called the number written in that script more times than she wanted to admit.

Darian was alive!
