#Chapter 7
This made things clear.
This man, Zahid el Carnoire, was definitely hitting on me.
From the moment we first met till today, Zahid has been discreetly trying to win over my heart.
The reason behind such attempts was simple.
He needed a foolproof way to keep me leashed.
For as long as Cheryl and Ethan are held as hostages, running away isn’t an option for me.
Alas, exceptions always exist, and the future always remains uncertain.
Zahid wanted to get rid of such uncertainties.
Hence, he was trying to tie me down with the most secure way to do so: with love.
Love is the most effective tool one can use to keep another chained by their side.
In all honesty, there probably wasn’t a single person in the world that can resist his alluring temptations
Luckily, I was very well aware of his true character.
In the original novel, he was described as an utter sociopath drenched in ambition.
All of his actions were based on meticulous calculations
