She had Rose call Bahan’s secretary the next day, but her husband’s assistant was sorry to report he’d flown to New York on urgent business concerning his property by Central Park and would be unavailable until he was out of s the next day When she’d heard that, Jennifer’s heart fell Part of her felt that it could be a very logical explanation, but at the sah After all, in under a month, her sister would have her transplant and then Bahan had no reason to check in with her family at all until two years passed and he could serve her divorce papers fordom

I couldn’t have pushed him away, could I have?

That gnawing fear was so she tried to push out of her head as she left her job and started for the street corner to hail a cab Sydney was still in the hospital and she’d prolasses and confetti for tonight’s New Year’s celebration She’d been let off at two and needed to get over to the hospital before the streets were impossibly ja she expected was for a limo to be parked out front and the driver, a swarthy n with her last name on it

“I…do I know you?”

“My name is Dawan, my sheikha I’ve been sent by Bahan He’d like your opinion on so in his emporium property off Fifth That’s all I know, and please don’t take this as being too forward, but I would like it if we could hurry I hate to disappoint my ruler”

She frowned, co, but she didn’t want poor Dawan to be penalized for her own confusion Nodding briskly at him, she slipped into the back and waited patiently as they navigated the crowded streets to the shopping co all this time When they pulled up, she pushed the call button between her seat and the front

“What do I do now?”

“He said to enter and turn left into the store”

“Which store?”

“You’ll knohich one he said, my sheikha Good luck!”

Furrowing her brows but truly intrigued, she hurried out of the limo and entered the coh that see coht were Gucci, Coach, and Prada To her left was ain thebroadly was Bahan, with a large Tiffany box in his hand

She rushed through the door to hug him, infinitely thankful that he swept her up into his eht you wereto blow me off To be honest, I wouldn’t blame you, not in the least”

He pulled away fro to burn with his need for her “My wild one, I could never hate you I can be frustrated as hell, don’t geton that account, but I can’t hate you”

“I never should have pushed you away”

“Can I ask what changed your mind? Was it only because Sydney is better?”
