Chapter 8

Three days later, Sada stood awkwardly next to the table set for two. She’d spent the day exploring the city, even stepping out to meet various individuals in the marketplace. She’d bought items from all over the market, choosing beautiful fabrics, hats, unique and interesting jewelry, spices, and other gifts for her friends, not to mention most of the furnishings decorating the table.

Thinking of her friends from The London School for Ladies, she wondered when she’d get to see them again. She missed them so much, especially during moments such as this, when she felt alone and isolated. Sada wondered what her friends would say about her situation and smiled. Dana would laugh and give her a hug. That woman found something good in everything. The others would worry that she was selling herself short. And Ms. Dunworthy, the headmistress, would beam approvingly. But then, Ms. Dunworthy saw the good in all of her students.

Although, they all knew how she felt about Zahir, especially Ms. Dunworthy, who had looked on knowingly whenever Sada had returned from an evening with Zahir. The woman had a mysterious air about her. Sada knew that there’d been a tragedy in her past, but Ms. Dunworthy never spoke about it. Everyone respected and admired Ms. Dunworthy. The headmistress expected great things from the students who attended The London School for Ladies. And everyone who attended wanted to live up to her extremely high standards.

Including Sada. In fact, in this instance, she wondered what Ms. Dunworthy would do. As soon as she asked the question, Sada had her answer. Ms. Dunworthy knew and saw everything and would tell Sada to fight for Zahir’s affections and never let anyone or anything stand in one’s way to happiness.

“You left the palace today!” An outraged voiced growled from behind her, distracting her from her thoughts.

Sada swung around, surprised to hear Zahir’s voice, angry or not. She hadn’t seen him since their wedding night. He’d been working so hard that he’d barely slept at all. She knew that he came to bed each night, but he hadn’t made love to her since that first night. She missed him! One night in his arms hadn’t been enough!

As always, her breath caught in her throat as she watched him approach. Goodness, he was magnificent! And her husband! She still couldn’t believe her luck. Was it luck? Or had some divine power intervened on her behalf, giving her what her heart desired most?

Her whole life, she’d felt this odd sensation whenever he was close by but now that he was her husband, she didn’t have to pretend the feeling was something else. She could claim it. Savor the sensation.

It was hard to believe she was even married, but every time she remembered that she was married to Zahir, she still felt a shiver of awe and excitement!

“Zahir,” she whispered, feeling her body sizzle as he came closer.

“Sada, you can’t leave the palace!”

She blinked, startled by the harshness of his words. She was lost in her silly fantasies of him taking her into his arms and making love to her.
