As the days passed, Sheik Al-Shahid grew increasingly protective of Emily. He spent all his free time with her.
He has additional women in his harem who have at least once been graced by him. However, since Emily entered his life, he has disregarded them, and mayhem has ensued.
Everybody in the harem was curious about this woman who had their Sheik's undivided attention.
They all started gathering together and making plans to get rid of her. They didn't realize that the Sheik was aware of everything, so one by one, they were sent to the abandoned palace.
Soon, Emily and the Sheik led peaceful lives alone in the palace.
The Sheik started to love her profoundly and became more protective of her. As he fulfilled his pledge to keep her safe, his desire to protect her from the perils of life in the palace grew increasingly apparent.
The poisoning attempt had disturbed him, and he knew full well that the people closest to him were a threat.
