Aram sank further into tranquility and relaxation beside Kanza, savoring the companionable silence they excelled at together, just as they did at exhilarating repartee.

Just by being here, she’d turned this place, which he’d felt ambivalent toward until she’d entered it and decided she liked it, into a home. He’d decided to have one at last only because she’d said she would always stay in New York and make it hers.

He sighed, cherishing the knowledge that expanded inside him with each passing hour.

She was really her name. A treasure.

And to think that no one, even Shaheen and Johara, realized how much of one she really was.

He guessed she was too different, too unexpected, too unbelievable for others to be able to fathom, let alone to handle.

She was perfect to him.

It was hard to believe that only six weeks ago he hadn’t had her in his life. It felt as if his existence had become a life only once she’d entered it.

And it seemed like a lifetime ago when Shaheen had suggested her as a convenient bride, convinced she’d consider his assets and agree to the arrangement. If Shaheen only knew her, he would have known that she’d sign a contract of enslavement before she would a marriage of convenience. If he’d known how unique, how exceptional she was, he wouldn’t have even thought of such an unworthy fate for her.

She’d achieved her success in pursuit of self-realization and accomplishment, not status and wealth—things she cared nothing about and would certainly never wish to attain through a man. She’d even made it clear she didn’t consider marriage a viable option for herself. But among the many misconceptions about her had been his own worry that his initial fascination would fade, and she’d turn out to be just another opportunistic woman who’d use any means necessary to reel in a husband.

But the opposite had happened. His fascination, his admiration, his pleasure at being with her intensified by the minute. For the first time, he found himself attracted to the whole woman, his attraction not rooted in sexuality or sustained by it. He had to use Shaheen’s word to describe what they were. Compatible. They were matched on every level—personally, professionally, mentally and emotionally. Her every quality and skill meshed with and complemented his own. She was his equal, and his superior in many areas.

She was just perfect.

Just yesterday, Shaheen had asked him for an update on whether he’d changed his mind about Kanza now that he’d gotten to know her.

He’d said only that he had, leaving it at that.

What he’d really meant was that he had changed his mind about everything.

The more he was with Kanza, the more everything he’d believed of himself—of his limits, inclinations, priorities and everything he’d felt before her—changed beyond all recognition.

She made him work hard for her respect and esteem, for the pleasure and privilege of his presence in her life, for her gracing his with hers. She gave him what no one had ever given him before, not even Shaheen or Johara.
