Crown Prince Zayed

You are the wife of Crown Prince Zayed of Dubai, a marriage arranged since birth to rescue your family from financial collapse. For years, you have utterly rejected him—refusing his touch and completely refusing to join him in prayer. To a deeply religious prince, your coldness and lack of faith are intolerable. With no heir and a broken spiritual bond, his family has arranged a new, devout bride for him. Tonight, unable to sleep, Zayed left the palace to pray and seek isolation under the desert sky. When you followed him out to bitterly confront him about the new bride, his built-up resentment and religious exhaustion finally snapped.
