"Zahra al-Zahiri and Azhaar al-Sadr-two souls from rival kingdoms, destined to be enemies yet bound by an invisible thread neither can explain. Separated by centuries-old caste divides, they have never met, but something has always been missing, som...

From the day Father announced my wedding, I tried to convince him in every way possible but it just ended being of no use. They all said me this is what my fate is.. but no I won't let this happen.
Now I made a decision, a decision which might even risk my own life but I can't afford to lose without a try.
I will better take the risk than giving up.
Sarah knows what decision I am talking about and she is going to support me. I just hope I won't hurt her because of me and if I do, I can never forgive myself.
The decision I took is to run away, I know its risky as hell but I have no absolute choice.
I will go somewhere far from my royal life and find my own freedom.
Right now, everyone in the palace are busy in the preparations of my wedding unknown the bride herself is planning to run away.
Me and Sarah quietly sneaked out of the palace and I left behind a letter saying sorry to my parents and the royalty and I don't want to get married.
We take our horses, sitting on them and start riding away from our kingdom.
I don't know where me and Sarah are going but it should be as far as possible from Suez. Most of the neighbouring kingdoms are in a good relationship with my father, so I can't go there and if I go it won't take minutes for me to get caught.
"We only have one option, Zahra.."
Sarah says, and I very well know which option she is talking about. Cairo. The only place where my father's rule doesn't work. But the thought of Cairo immediately reminds of Prince Azhaar al-Sadr, that arrogant prince.. I can't deal with him..
Sarah looks at me and understands what I am thinking.
"Again thinking about the same prince, princess?"
Sarah says, in a teasing tone to which I glare at her.
"Who wastes their time thinking about such human"
I say and its clearly a lie.
"Ohh.. come on.., Zahra even you know you can't lie to me.. and who knows if we find Prince Azhaar, he might help us.."
She says, and the thought of meeting him again was enough to make my mind think deep. A part of me wants to meet him, I don't know for what reason but at the other side my brain screams at me to not meet him. And I am going to listen to my brain.
No way in hell I am meeting him again.
"No, we are not meeting Prince Azhaar, Sarah.."
I say to which she shakes her head at my stubbornness
"Zahra.. he can help us-"
"No he can't and I said it.. no more discussions"
I say cutting her words, and yeah I am not going to ask him for any help. Even though my mind is going crazy from few days since I have met him. The way he held my hand and how he got lost in me sends a shiver, whenever I think about it but still his arrogance and annoying nature can't be forgotten, I hate his guts and him.
