King Aladdin my father and his father drew alliances with some very powerful men in the past. Like the king Manan from Qatar, a powerful family in riyad.....the Dahdah's, also very rich families Africa. and a cousin of mine the Misbahudeen's and so many more.

They all want something in return. King manan, wanted his family to be candidates for marrying the next king of gulf, in return for free education for kids in riyad, Kuwait and oman. King manan is bazibat's grandfather. So I was made to go visit her and get to know her. We couldn't go to the same school because I was home schooled. But we had to fly together.

The rich man from Qatar.....Dahdad. he is Mahi's father. Equally one of my father's subjects. Has married more than 12 royals into his family, from other countries and my family, but cousins. He constantly parades his daughters around the palace. My parents saw good in her and expected me to make a choice, between her or bazibat.

Not until when, bazibat's father, Fauzan played his card. Made a move for a coup. My father, Aladdin was always ruthless. Fauzan kidnapped the queen, simra before the coup. Then, Aladin was out doing business for gulf. He was very close to succeeding, when Aladin returned with American soldiers.

He massacred them all and took his state back. He threw Fauzan's family of the throne in Qatar and broke off all alliances with them. Except the marriage, which of course bazibat rejected out of her pride and hate for Aladdin.

Alliances with African families like the Muklit's a family of lawyers where made to protect us from plots from our enemies. Also shakira and her siblings were made to fulfill any construction task around gulf countries. Also creating an alliance with them to grant them free access into the gulf.

The Misbahudeen's are only a threat to me, not my entire family because they can take the throne. My only advantage over them now is I have a wife with a better alliance than my cousin, najeeb.

Yasmine please don't leave me, I need your help. I'm sorry for not telling you about this. I stood behind her aeroplane seat begging her not leave me.

Why not? She asked. She seemed to not care about some past alliances and mistakes.
Jafir, I've need a break, she said.
Yasmine there is no break, in a marriage and you know that, I explained.
Yasmine we seemed more intimate when we were dating than now, I said holding her hand. She pulled away quickly and stood up.......looking straight in to my eye.
Yasmine......I just need you to know that this is a love story. And in a love story, there is no villain. Do you know why, I asked.
She chuckled....because it's a love story, she agreed.
Yes and there might be complications but what makes us strong, I said moving closer as she took few steps backward...............is that we never leave each other, I said finishing my statement.
She had that look her eye which gave me assurance that she was staying. My eyebrows were up out of excitement. As much as it itched me to have held her really close to my heart then, I couldn't. I didn't want to ruin the moment.

Yes, probably I'm way more awesome than I thought. I knew people fear me, although not like they fear Aladdin. I really didn't think they will find Yasmine in less than an hour after I landed in Eygpt. Like I said it's good to be the prince.

Yasmine POV

The beauty in medical technology is that they help to plan ahead. I will die loving Jafir, for sure. But I needed to do this. My labour day came 2days earlier, I ruined my plans, but with Jafir by my side made me lose hope in my plans.

As I struggled to give birth with a chance of either me dying or my child. I watched how Jafir gave the doctor assurance that if he loses both or any of us, the doctor dies too. God,....I know I'm silly but I actually chuckled at the instance of that threat. Finally I could hear the cry of a baby. Haha! I did it, I exclaimed as my eyes closed slowly...... ....Yasmine.........Yasmine.......the call of the doctor die down slowly. The doctor had such a lovely voice as a woman.

Boom! I head a loud sound in my ear. Aarrrrrggggg! I cried out as I regained consciousness, I woke up 8hours later. Are you okay, Jafir asked rubbing my head. I fling his hands off my head, where is my baby, I asked.
I told you she is grumpy, Jafir said to my son as he lifted him slowly.
I held him in my arms, with so much relief, awwwwwnnn! So cute, I said. but the fact that I didn't have jafir's head in a basket for him, saddened me. His name is Zafir, Jafir said.
Excuse me? I asked. Noo......
Jafir interrupted me saying, I should not dispute his words, because he has a gift for me.

Jafir, why are you breaking my glasses I asked. I need those, I said. Wait a minute...........I noticed I could see without them. Oh my god!......I screamed. He handed a mirror over to me. A gift from me to you, he said.
I had contact lens on. An aquarellel golden orcher.

Ha!

Ha!......thank you I said with a broad smile at me. You are welcome, now we can live as a family he said sitting on the bed trying to adjust me hair. I still wasn't comfortable, but not to ruin the moment. I played along.

You look like hell, right now he said. I'll go get you something to eat, Family members will soon be here added. I threw a grin at the Idea. Immediately he left my phone buzzed. It seems my plan, was still on the right track. I got up though with all the pains I still had to leave. Rushed in the bathroom to take a shower. I had a peach gown on, skin tight, I'll say for now

Hmmm......looking good, she admired the simplicity. I smiled, shakira you are the best. So when are you changing she said. Excuse, I asked I just changed. Uhmmm....no they will identify you immediately, she said.
put these on, she said throwing some old, sweat pants and a really big shirt at me. Here, she said handing over a turban over to me.
I look ridiculous, I said.
Well that's the point, she said with a smile.
She had a disguise on too, she was dressed like a madam and I was supposed to be her driver.
Go pick up zafir, I said.
Who??? She asked.
My child! I yelled.
What??? She asked. Zafir, really?........just go I yelled.

Is this your son ma'am the nurse asked. Yes, she said. I thought.......just give him to me she interrupted the nurse. She rapped him in a darker shawl, because the guards where standing right outside. And that's how we left. I equally left a surprise for Jafir, Divorce papers which I had signed.
I thought of him all the way to airport. Telling shakira goodbye was as if I was telling him goodbye. God I could just cry. As usual the tears never flow or even drop.
