The Arabian Love-Child
Résumé
Sheikh Rafiq Al-Qadim, the deputy president of the Rahman International Bank, slams a newspaper against his desk in his London office on the top floor of the bank. On the front page is a gossip article that states his friend-with-benefits is to marry another man. Women are treacherous creatures! Ever since his beloved mistress betrayed him eight years ago, he gave up on women. All he gets from believing them is suffering. Just then, the door opens. Melanie, who he hasn’t seen since they broke up eight years ago, stands in the doorway. Why is she here? Has she come to deceive me again?
