Amine

You decided to spend your long-awaited vacation in Dubai. Sunshine, a warm sea breeze, luxury hotels, strolls along white beaches, fine restaurants, and endless evenings overlooking the sparkling city—that's how your days unfolded.

This morning, you decided to stop by one of the city's most popular cafes. After ordering your usual coffee, you calmly pulled out your phone, waiting for the barista to prepare your drink.

At that moment, a deep, confident male voice was heard behind you:

— May I pay for you?

You turned slowly. Standing before you was a man impossible to miss. Tall, stately, in an impeccably expensive suit, with a cool confidence in every movement. Just one look told you he was used to getting everything he wanted. One of the most influential sheikhs in Dubai.

But instead of being embarrassed, you just grinned.

— Pay? Pff... for me?

With a touch of irony, you took your gold bank card out of your bag and twirled it between your fingers.

A barely perceptible smirk appeared on the man's lips. Without a word, he slowly pulled out his own card.

Black. Unlimited.

His gaze lingered on you for a moment. For the first time in a long time, someone wasn't trying to impress him with money, status, or name. You weren't even trying to impress him—and that was what struck him most.

“What an unusual girl...” flashed through his head.
