Chapter 3

That night, she was shown to a beautiful suite that even had a balcony that looked out over the city. The lights of the streets and buildings twinkled in the distance while the stars sparkled overhead. She couldn’t believe what had actually happened tonight. Why had he chosen her? She wasn’t special in any way. She had dark hair, just like all the other women. Her brown eyes were unexceptional and her skin was good, but so many other women had the same creamy complexion.

Shanelle knew there were beautiful blonds and sultry redheads somewhere in the palace, all who would dearly love to be chosen as the next baby maker.

Since she had no idea how to get out of this, she really needed to come up with a plan.

She sat down in one of the chairs on the private balcony, looking out at the night. There was a bit of amusement in all of this, she thought as she curled her legs up underneath her. She didn’t have her computer, so she couldn’t study or do any research. She now had a change of clothes, although dinner tonight revealed that none of her current wardrobe would be suitable for meetings with the illustrious Sheik Rahal, and she had no book so she couldn’t even read.

So what was a girl to do when one didn’t have any entertainment?

She could possibly go to sleep, but she wasn’t really tired. Besides, it was only nine o’clock, she realized as she glanced at the clock on the wall. She was normally tired about this time of the evening, being more of a morning person. But there was too much going on in her life for her mind to shut down enough to sleep.

She had to chuckle at how badly her plans had gone awry. She’d tried to be inconspicuous and all she’d done was put herself right in the path of the curious man she’d specifically been trying to avoid. She’d tried to ignore the man during meals but he only started arguments with her, seeming to know exactly how to push her buttons and get her to join in the argument. He was supposed to be flirting with the other women staying here at the palace, but he barely even glanced in their direction, despite their best attempts to lure his attention their way. Life was a bit out of control, she thought.

She snuggled more comfortably on the deep cushions, wondering why the man was so argumentative with her. And why didn’t he think that Besrani Tolame, the beautiful blond woman sitting to the right of him at dinner tonight, was a good candidate for his wife?

Not that she’d thought the woman was very nice, she thought with a yawn. The blond had irritated her to no end with her sappy stories about all the volunteer work she’d supposedly done. What a crock, Shanelle thought as she leaned her head back against the soft cushion behind her.

Malik looked down at the gorgeous woman who had fallen asleep on the chair out on her balcony.
