Chapter 40 Ambush

• Lady Miriam turned to look at the man clad in black who flew into her room through the window. She watched as he sat at the edge of her bed, refusing to talk to her. She managed to sit up and rested her head on his arm. The man shrugged away from her. Miriam knew that he was angry at her and it was all the Sultan's fault. She moved closer to him again, wrapping her arms around his waist this time.
• "How could you be so careless? You knew how important that pregnancy was in the plan." The man spoke, anger reflected in his voice.
• Lady Miriam explained to him how the sultan had come to her in the middle of the night drunk and how she had thought it was a good opportunity to make him the owner of the pregnancy. She explained how the Sultan had kicked her to the floor in the stomach and how she couldn't scream for help, knowing that she wasn't supposed to be pregnant. How she hadn't gotten help until the morning and how she came to know that she had lost the pregnancy.
