"Congratulations once again." Within the pediatrician office in a prestigious hospital, the happiness in the doctor's voice could be heard as she looked at the two women opposite her. One elderly, the other younger. "As she is still in her first trimester, she should take extreme care of herself so the fetus won't suffer. She is looking malnourished," The doctor's words were directed towards Yasmin Faez. Dahlia just sat quietly with a lost look. There was a trace of disbelief on her face. "Thank you doctor," Yasmin's expression was different from Dahlia's. She looked happy as she collected the brown envelope from the doctor that contained the confirmed test of Dahlia's pregnancy. "I made a list of things she should avoid. The pregnancy is only six weeks old andand in its most delicate state. I also mentioned supplements she should get." Yasmin nodded and made note of everything the doctor mentioned. Throughout the medical session, Dahlia didn't utter a word. Eve
Noticing his slightly convinced expression, professor Tang asked, "Do you mind explaining in detail what exactly happened at the company?" Zayn stared at him and he gave a reassuring nod in return to urge him. No one would hear that they suddenly possess psychic powers or superpowers and won't be alarmed. "I was fighting with those hoodlums as I used to but I noticed some specific details. My body seemed to move on its own whenever it sensed danger." Professor Tang adjusted his reading glasses and took a mental note of what Zayn said. "There was this surprising incident... They had guns. I could have knocked out the guns from their hands and attacked them but I kept on dodging the bullets instinctively until all their guns were emptied. None touched me or even grazed any part of my body." Professor Tang didn't hide his awe at this. What Zayn said just now has only ever been witnessed in movies, for it to occur in reality? Who wouldn't find it thrilling? "There was this t
Khalid's lips formed a thin line as he stared back at Shaquille who was looking at him like he could see straight into his heart and the thoughts that dwelled in it. Eventually, the old man answered,"He had to do something. He will be home soon. Don't worry about him." Khalid nodded and glanced at his wristwatch. "I have a meeting with the investors so I have to leave now. Take care father and don't work too hard. You can always leave the tedious ones for me." Shaquille's taut expression finally softened when he heard this. He thought, perhaps he had misunderstood Khalid. But before he could say a word, the latter already walked out of the office. His eyes however strayed on the door as he wondered if he was really overthinking the bad relationship between his sons. "Boss, did you get any info?" Faruq asked as soon as Khalid got to the company's private garage. Khalid had a foul expression as he got into his car. "He didn't want to say anything. Simply told me Zayn h
Yasmin fell into a deep thought. That cruel look appeared on her face again to indicate that she must be thinking of something certainly not good. She looked up at her daughter and smiled. The kind of smile that would send shivers, fearful shivers down someone's spine. "Call him. Inform him that you are pregnant." "Inform who?" Dahlia was confused. "Call Zayn and tell him that you are pregnant." "Mom..." Dahlia stood up. "I already told you we didn't consummate our marriage. Why should I call him and inform him that I'm pregnant? I thought we promised to hide this away from him." "For how long are we going to hide it? Whether he is the father or not, he will have to accept the child," Yasmin retorted with a resolute look. Dahlia was stunned and even more confused. Why is her mother talking as if Zayn would definitely accept the bastard in her? "Why would he do that?" "That bastard cares about your grandfather right?" Dahlia nodded and Yasmin stood up, walking t
'Just make your men get the information on who poisoned the old man those years, the location of his first son's family and the family's business dirty secrets. I just have this feeling that my father-in-law isn't as innocent as he seems.' Zayed didn't know how to react to Zayn's words. But he felt irritated that his cousin had been cuckolded to get entangled in a marriage alliance with such a despicable family. But his anger wasn't justified as after all, if it wasn't for Omar those years, his cousin might have lost his life. 'Okay' Zayn went to the next message. It had a saved contact card, Salim. Remember that young juvenile that was with him in the car that day he had gone to attend ADX shareholders meeting. 'Boss, how is your health? I wasn't allowed access to the hospital based on your father's orders. They didn't even let me get close to Mr Shaquille to speak with him.' ' I'm fine.' Salim's response came in less than a minute, 'Those shareholders have been hand
"Say, if I release this piece of news anonymously to the press, how much of a scandal would it cause for that bastard?" Farah's excited voice snapped Khalid back to reality. "They have always wanted something about that secluded legitimate son. Now, they'll have a lot to feast on. I'd even be able to make extra cash—" "Mom," he interjected. "You will do no such thing." "Why?" Farah almost whined in disappointment. Why has her son been acting so cowardly towards that young bastard? Khalid rubbed his eyes. "You are thinking about the scandal it will cause for Zayn. What about our family? The family's reputation will be dragged down too." "So..." Farah retorted. "Have they ever treated us like family? Why would I still be living in this house as an unmarried mistress if your father treats us as family? Why are you still being regarded as the illegitimate son and not the eldest young master of the Sultan's family?" Khalid gritted his teeth. His mother knows quite well what h
"Do you think this is the only prestigious school in the Emirates? Other schools will gladly accept my son and appreciate our financial gestures more than you!" A woman's voice followed, sounding both arrogant and threatening. "We don't need to aggravate this matter. As long as you apologize to the victim and he agrees to forgive your son's misdeed then the school might consider letting your son off," The dean sounded conflicted. He didn't want to offend the parents but he couldn't afford to offend the Sultan's family. It's like being stuck on a crashing bridge. There is a load of danger ahead and you can't move backwards because the bridge is falling off. "Apologize, my foot! He should even be grateful to receive compensation from us because my son will never hurt someone without a valid reason!" The woman spoke again. At this point, Zayn and professor Khan walked into the office. Zayn had his signature smirk on the face as he asked amusedly, "So it is only justifie
"Can't you even pretend to be happy to see me for once?" Aliyah pouted with a fake sad look. Zayn already saw through her expression and asked again,"What are you doing here? Aren't you studying humanities? Why are you in the computer department?" Aliyah rolled her eyes and pulled his arm. "Fine," She turned to the direction of the system that was undergoing repairs and pointed at the team of engineers there. "My friend is there so I came over too." "Your friend?" Zayn was puzzled. A male or female? That was when he noticed the lady assisting the engineers. Her fair and flawless palm shot out as she handed over a toolbox to one of the student engineers that gave her a smile in return. Zayn's brows furrowed. He couldn't see the lady clearly because of the long abaya she was wearing which was paired with a niqāb that only exposed her eyes. Why was she being so conservative? Who even wears such unexposed clothes for work? "She's in the computer engineering depart
