Chapter 418

• Sheer panic churned in Kate’s stomach. "But what about Hazem?" she whispered.
• "He is being driven back to the palace," Ahsan told her, still in that icy tone. "As I have explained many times, it is his home now." His tenuous hold on his self-control gave way, and his anger exploded. "I can’t believe you drove off into the desert with him." Your behavior was stupid and irresponsible. "The guards who had been assigned to watch over Hazem have been sacked for their incompetence," he added, his voice shaking with fury.
• "It wasn’t their fault," Kate said miserably. Your personal assistant is the one to blame. He helped me get away and even told me where I would find a car.
