The wide and luxurious hall is decorated in the ancient Arab style, with a large table in the center surrounded by many chairs, and many paintings by the best and most famous international painters hanging on its walls.

In every corner of the hall, there is a giant vase planted with a rare type of tree that is loved by the wealthy.

The window frames made of gold make the viewer appreciate their enormous financial value, which, if it indicates anything, indicates the immense wealth of this family.

On the opposite wall of the main entrance to the hall, a wall clock made of pure gold is hanging on a nail made of gold, its head adorned with a light blue gemstone. 

The clock hands point to eight o'clock in the evening, which is the time when the family members have their dinner.

All family members sit around the table to have dinner except for the father, who later enters the hall wearing a luxurious gray suit and holding a phone. 

He sits down and sighs before anyone asks him about it. 

He says, with a kind of tension, "Sami, my cousin, who is the real owner of all our companies and owns almost ninety percent of all our properties, called me to tell me that he will be coming back to this country soon because living abroad no longer matters to him from any material or moral aspect. 

According to him, I believe he wants to live with us in this palace until he settles down and gets married. 

I don't understand why he wants to live with us here when he owns more palaces and houses than he can count."

His children rush to answer his open question. Ahmed, his tall, blond, and handsome eldest son in his mid-thirties, says as he swallows what was in his mouth, "I hope he enjoys staying with us and doesn't get bored quickly. 

I heard that he is a very quiet and serious person who is accustomed to a certain type of life that is based on calmness. Anyway, if he doesn't like staying with us, he can go to one of his palaces or his grandfather's palace, 'Awani.'"

Kamal, Ahmed's younger brother, who is also tall, blond, and bears a striking resemblance to his elder brother, absentmindedly cuts his food without lifting his gaze and remarks, "Ahmed, you need to prepare a thorough report on the company he entrusted to you in his absence. This individual is practical and places great importance on work. It is crucial that the report is detailed and comprehensive, providing him with all the necessary information to make informed decisions..."

Amel: My dear Akram, why didn't you ask him about his arrival date? I would prefer to handle all the preparations myself. I will personally oversee everything before his arrival.

Akram: Amel, I didn't even pose the question to him. The lawyer informed me first.

You know Sami is arrogant and not very talkative. The lawyer contacted me two days ago and shared the news, which I initially found hard to believe. But after speaking to him directly, there's no doubt anymore, although I didn't dare inquire about the exact date of his arrival.

She lets out a sigh and cunningly adds, throwing a disdainful look at Leyla: I hope we won't encounter any embarrassing situations or be subjected to scandals during his stay with us. There's someone who has the potential to cause trouble, displaying neither modesty nor restraint...

The father coughs: Ah, I also hope that we won't find ourselves in awkward circumstances, isn't that right, Leyla? We don't want your negligence to flow over us like a river carrying the scent of abandonment.
