The dangers of love by Barbara kartland Chapter 1 sen stood up from the desk that was near the window and spoke rudely to her secretary besides being incompetent you are cheeky here is a week’s salary senorita lindzi your room the hotel

Is already paid for for the next two days Melina took the envelope automatically, but reflected that Senora Schuster’s performance was being too theatrical, it was clear that she had premeditated that scene and even rehearsed a reason to undress her, that selfish woman

Didn’t there was and what she alleged was an unconformable injustice Melina defended herself I don’t understand what you’re saying that you recommended me to come back at Du o’clock but I don’t remember hearing you make such a recommendation and I’m sorry to say it but you didn’t ask me either to bring

Any book from the hotel library, you don’t listen to me and you don’t pay attention to what I say, that’s your problem, replied Senora Schuster, of course I asked you to bring me Ron Landal’s book about

Morocco and I demanded that you be in back at 2 o’clock, however, there is no need to return to this subject, these were just two more of your mistakes among the various incidents that occurred in the last 15 days, so I cannot continue with your services, I brought you here imagining

That you would be considerate of me and take care of my my senor Schuster you are being unfair Melina protested I came with the senor to Tangier as a secretary and also to drive your car I am

Fully aware that so far I have not failed to fulfill my obligation which let’s face it is very little I recognize that it is not much for that Even though I always willingly did other tasks besides the ones I just mentioned, Melina’s desire was for Sen. Schuster to treat her like her

Personal maid, she asked her to iron her clothes, carry packages, go up and down stairs to fetch dozens of things, unpack the suitcases tasks that were the responsibility of the hotel’s employees and servants at the same time Melina felt happy in Tangier and lived perfectly with her mistress until

Ambrose Whitley arrived, Senora Schuster was amazed to see him and began to demonstrate that she was not happy with a beautiful young woman close to Ambrose, she wanted it all to herself, prudently, Melina always found an excuse to go out, every time Senora Schuster and Ambrose were together,

She went for a walk, went to a museum or had lunch out, everything would be fine if Ambrose Wiley didn’t pay so much attention to Melina Whenever Sen. Schuster decided to go for a drive, Ambrose would ask Melina, won’t she go with us, if Ambrose Whitley smiled at Melina?

Sen. Schuster’s eyes flashed with anger? Another thing that irritated her was hearing the man she considered her boyfriend call her secretary by name. when he should have been more formal and referred to her as senorita Lindsey Melina sighed she knew it was best to accept her resignation without arguing

She straightened her shoulders and spoke haughtily it’s fine senorita Schuster I agree to leave the job and return to England as it is “I don’t remember promising to pay for the return ticket,” said Senora Schuster coldly, “I’m already trying hard to pay you an

Extra week, since you won’t be working for me anymore, Mr. Whitley and I are leaving tomorrow for Marrakech will have to manage itself, this was Senora Schuster’s revenge, leaving her in a strange country with no money to return home Melina thought on several occasions the beautiful

Lth Schuster proved to be petty But this time he was being cruel and despicable, his attitude was of an unscrupulous and nonconformist woman Melina argued, you must remember very well that our agreement was for me to accompany you to Tangier for the holidays and then we would return

To London together, I don’t remember saying anything similar, retorted Senora Schuster, it’s It’s a wonder you remember what happened before the trip if you haven’t even remembered that just this morning I asked you to be back at 2 o’clock, well what do you suggest I do,

Frankly I need my ticket back to England Senora Schuster shook her shoulders, look for the British consulate, Senorita Lind, they will solve your problem in any way from now on, you are no longer a responsibility, my other solution would be to look for another job.

Here in Tangier I’m sure that some rich Moroccan will be delighted to hire such a pretty English girl. There was an unpleasant and malicious insinuation in Senora Schuster’s voice and Melina had to control herself not to throw the envelope with a salary of one

Week and left the room with her head held high, she recognized that this gesture would only harm herself, she walked to the door and before leaving she turned to say goodbye, Senora Schuster, Thank you for bringing me to Tangier, after all, it was a pleasant trip, I really wanted to knowing Morocco

As lth Schuster did not respond Melina felt that she had scored a point against her, she was leaving her job with dignity and on top of that she had the pleasure of noticing the irritation of that selfish and envious woman, however, when she entered the hotel elevator to go to the top floor

In which her room was located, Melina felt disheartened, she did not sympathize with Senora Chuster since she arrived at her luxurious apartment in Grosvenor Square to be interviewed, but above all she wanted to see Morocco and was willing to face any difficulties that

Might arise on this trip, she managed to get a job. deista and Secret da sen shuster Melina exulted in considering herself the happiest in the world only after crossing the English Channel And during the car ride from France to Spain, doubts began to arise that her relationship with her boss would be

Easy even 24 hours if passed for her to realize that Senora Chuster was excessively stingy, demanded for herself the best and for Melina she offered the worst in hotels, Senora Chuster booked luxurious suites and paid for Melina the cheapest little room there was,

Generally cramped and suffocating, although Melina If she sat at the table with her boss, she would order for herself Caviar, oysters and the most expensive dishes on the menu and force the secretary to eat whatever was cheapest . vareza Melina asked herself how a person could not feel

Uncomfortable drinking Champagne And Mineral Water and Vian wine every day without even offering a glass to her companion and when it came to clothes she rarely sent them to the laundry every day she gathered a pile of underwear socks blouses handkerchiefs gloves and the secretary said These are

Light and delicate clothes it would be better to wash them by hand they are no trouble as they are almost clean and they dry easily in the bathroom or near the window do it good girl but none of that bothered Melina

I was very happy, anticipating the joy of getting to know Morocco, I had read a lot about the country and had seen so many photos of Moroccan cities that I was dreaming about the Atlas Mountains with Tangier, Marrakech and the golden beaches of Casablanca, and now, having been in Tangier for

A week, Melina received news that she was fired, she got out of the elevator on the sixth floor and walked down the corridor to her room, the room, although small and unpretentious, represented much more to Melina than Senora Shuster’s luxurious suite on the first floor because it had a counter

And a flower box with brightly colored Geraniums. colors from the window the view was stunning Melina could see the flat roofs of the white houses and the intensely blue sea on the day of arrival Tanger

When she accompanied one of the hotel staff to the room, she had already expected to be so well accommodated and with a view like that at the moment entering the room Melina reflected that it was

Strange for a person to be so rich and so miserly Why did Senora Chuster, having luxurious cars, furs, valuable jewelry, an apartment with antique furniture that was a Precious thing, thought all the time about

Saving money at the expense of others Melina went to the balcony and admired the landscape, wanting to imprint it on her mind so she would remember it for the rest of her life, the sun falling on her head made her

Hair shiny like gold, it warmed her soul and heart, giving her comfort, the discouragement she felt disappeared and she I gained new energy when I was in Tangier, I had spent a week there and had been among the natives in those streets where there was an atmosphere of mystery, watching the women

With their eyes on their faces, tasting the exotic food. Ah, if I could, I would have stayed in Morocco for a while longer, I dreamed so much about this trip and now that I’m here I don’t want to leave having seen so little of this

Country, he thought, sighed, there was no way to survive, he should look for the consulate, as Senora Chuster had suggested, he would certainly be able to borrow the money to buy Nav a ticket to

England in third class, when he got home, he would sell one of the jewels he had inherited from his mother, the diamond brooch in star shape would be enough to reimburse the consulate for the loan it was sad to think that he would forever lose a valuable jewel that his father had given

His wife as a gift but his father would understand he knew why the trip to Morocco meant so much to her leaning forward Melina delicately touched the red Geraniums and continued with her reflections, she could of course telegraph to her uncles who lived in Wimbledon, they would send her money.

Reproaches from her uncles, she imagined them telling her why she had thrown away such a good job at that elegant law firm. Had she not imagined that a trip like that was idiotic and that

The result could not be successful? There she was, she was forced to turn to relatives to send her money, she wouldn’t humiliate herself in front of her uncles, she understood that they only wanted the best for her, they thought about

Her safety and stability. After all, they were the ones who got her the job at the law firm, but that didn’t mean she should act and to think about how her uncles, well, she still had two more days at the

Hotel in Tangier and it represented paradise on the small balcony there was a wooden bench and Melina sat there against the wall and let herself receive the heat of the sun on her face, she could

Feel the perfume of Mimosas do Jardim and also hear from a distance the screams of the IOS in the market offering their wares to your ears their voice sounded like music Tanger Morocco I’m so happy to find myself in this wonderful place it doesn’t matter that I lost my job I’m just sorry

Having to leave I will miss this atmosphere full of light and life, he thought which he had in his hands, to his surprise he found that he was still holding the envelope with his salary, he turned around and through the open door

He threw it on the nearest bed, the envelope opened and the money was spread out on the bedspread, 6 pounds, three half crowns, two chillin and little coins of little value Mrs Shuster had paid him exactly the week’s salary having deducted the National Insurance the thought brought a smile

To his lips lth Chuster was almost ridiculous with his avarice US he wore a diamond ring worth 20,000 lias I owned a Marta stole from 2000 and insisted on little things like deducting the insurance money from the maid, I’m free Melina spoke out loud, laughing and

Happy, a sudden noise above her head startled her, she heard something dragging and then the sound of a brick falling and shattering on the ground before she even realized what was happening a man jumped from the roof straight onto the balcony next to her with his eyes bulging,

Too scared to move Melina looked at the man, he was an Arab and his face was half covered through the hood of the alborn he was wearing, but Melina could see that there was a cut on his right cheek and that he was holding a bloody knife. Melina again

You are English he asked in English without being able to articulate a sound Melina nodded in this case help me he asked there is no time for explanations But I need your help urgently

This is a matter of extreme importance don’t worry because I am not who I appear to be and I will not do you any harm, the men who are chasing you are criminals and if they catch me they will kill me. Maybe

You think this looks like a scene from a movie but it is real. They shouted again from the roof and the man asked where can I hide? I struggled as if I were waking up from a strange dream Melina

Stammered in the perfect bathroom the man approved if they show up try to distract them tell them anything, I’m your husband, give me time to run away. As soon as Melina finished speaking, she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing, she tried to reason, although he was wearing Alborn, the stranger couldn’t

Be Moroccan, he spoke perfect English without an accent, what was happening, he looked for the money on the bed and wondered if the Stranger was a thief at that moment, the noise of another brick falling, this time on the counter, made her turn around, almost dying of fright when she

Saw two Moroccans armed with knives swinging in front of her, which do what you want here She asked aggressively the men appeared surprised for a moment and looked at each other then one of them, the tallest one with the mustache, spoke in poor English, the man we saw him come in

Here Melina didn’t doubt for a moment that the two Moroccans They were criminals, as stated by the man who hid in the bathroom, he said firmly, you are mistaken here, no one showed up for us to see him, the tall man insisted, the other Moroccan spoke to his companion in

Arabic and nodded his head, a third fat man in socks old and wearing a police uniform also appeared at the counter out of breath the tall man spoke in Arabic to the newcomer obviously reporting the conversation that you had with Melina the police officer still panting addressed

Melina with an air of authority Madame my men claim that the criminal we were chasing escaped and jumped onto this balcony of yours your men are mistaken I was sitting here and I didn’t see anyone Melina

Assured her even without looking at the floor she noticed a stain of blood on the carpet She kept her eyes fixed on the policeman’s face and very discreetly he slid his foot forward and covered the stain with

His shoe he pointed to the money on the bed and argued do you think that if a criminal came in here he would leave that money behind he is not a thief he replied to the police officer this room

Will have to be searched Madame, he snapped his fingers and the two Moroccans went forward and opened the wardrobe they saw only half a dozen dresses and two small suitcases the police officer in turn turned the bathroom handle the door was locked who is in the bathroom asked the police officer His voice

Was barely heard because of the sudden noise of the water jets, as if the taps in the bathtub had been turned on full blast, another knock from the police officer, this time with great force, the

Water stopped running, indicating that the taps had been turned off in the bathroom, a voice He asked what do you want Honey, who is in there the policeman repeated the question my husband Melina lied feeling red in the face her husband became suspicious the policeman looked around he saw the two

Beds neatly made and in the wardrobe that was still open there were no clothes male your husband is staying in this room with you in fact he just arrived I wasn’t expecting him and he showed up to surprise me he came by plane anyway I have to talk to your husband

Madam said the police officer showing that he doubted the words de Melina turned towards the bathroom and knocked loudly on the door who is there dear the voice asked here is the police be kind enough to

Open the door we want to ask you some questions the police do you want to interrogate me by God dear what have you been getting ready, the voice was that of a happy, carefree Englishman, as if he was

Imagining that the police officer was there because of a car parked in a prohibited place or having been left with the lights on, dear, the police officer and his assistants are looking for a man Melina informed this At the time her hands were shaking Could she trust the stranger locked

In the bathroom after all he had a cut on his face and was carrying a bloody knife What would she have done to the person she was helping to get rid of the police? It crossed her mind whether she wanted to

Or not was already irremediably involved in that incident Why hadn’t he had the idea of ​​forcing the Englishman to run anywhere else in the hotel, the two Moroccans and the police officer trying to go after him understood that being in another country he would not fail to respond to

The call from a compatriot, the Englishman who was in the bathroom He spoke very loudly, sir, policeman, give me a moment, I’m in the shower, dear, offer something, a drink for you gentlemen, I don’t have a drink

None here Melina replied, I thought the situation was ridiculous, it looked like a scene from a bad movie , but the Moroccans, each with a knife and the policeman with a pistol on his belt, were very real

To distract the chubby policeman, he commented in a casual tone, my husband won’t be long, I’m happy Because the day has arrived, it’s beautiful, he’s never been to Tangier and I want to show him the city. The three men stared insecurely. She was sure that their lack of concern was leaving them

Confused and doubtful as to whether they had actually seen the fugitive jump into that counter if that were the case they would be wasting time as if he was agitated because of his own thoughts the

Policeman knocked on the door again please open the door sir we don’t have time to waste the word sir caught Melina’s attention and hope was born in her heart, if the Englishman managed to get rid of that blood-stained Alborn, the Moroccans might not recognize him, I don’t know

The reason for all this, the Englishman spoke with the drawl of a London dandy, the door opened and he appeared wearing a white robe at the hotel he had blond hair and sunburned skin, he

Shaved only one side of his face, the other was still covered with soap suds in his hand, he was holding the device that Melina used to shave her leg, so how come there was so much fuss, my men

Saw the criminal they were chasing jumped on this counter explained the police officer this time less aggressive well his men could have been mistaken, right the Englishman pointed out whatever I do the fugitive was certainly not in the bathroom with me you can look inside if you want your men

Now They looked under the bed, what I can say is that there was no one in this room when I went into the bathroom, there must have been a mistake, the policeman mumbled, of course, the Englishman said,

In that case, wouldn’t it be better for you to hurry up and continue chasing this criminal instead of waste time asking me questions if you’ll excuse me I’m going to finish shaving by turning my back he turned to the mirror over the sink and nonchalantly but with precision

Began to pass the blade over his face covered in foam the policeman turned to speak with his assistants Melina did not understand his words but the tone of voice and his gestures made it clear that he called them imbeciles for having let the fugitive escape then the police officer bowed

To Melina, we are sorry Madam Good afternoon S noting that the two Moroccans were watching her full of suspicion Melina looked calmly, showing no concern and waited for the three to leave as soon as she heard the sound of the door closing, the Englishman left the bathroom with a finger

On his lips asking for silence, then returned to the bathroom and opened the bathtub taps. so the noise would prevent the three men from hearing anything if they were paying attention outside and he appeared in front of Melina he was clean shaven and the cut on his face was bleeding a little

Oh his face she exclaimed this is nothing he smiled I want to thank you for saving my life chapter of The Stranger smiled and Elina noticed that blood was dripping from his freshly shaved face the

Cut is bleeding it is best to bandage it she suggested it was just a scratch the stranger said you call this a scratch Melina asked and taking the case first aid officer handed it to the stranger going in front of the mirror on the dressing table he wiped off the blood with tissue

And put antiseptic on it I see you are a very practical girl he observed the cut looks deep It would be better if you see a doctor so that He gave me one or two stitches, no doctors, I’m allergic to them, a bandage will be enough. Melina understood that he didn’t want

To expose himself. She took the blood-stained tissues and threw them into the wastebasket. Immediately the stranger bent down and took them back. Never leave clues he said in a casual tone This is the first rule

Of every competent criminal He went to the bathroom and Melina heard the sound of the flush when she saw him back she asked him to please explain to me what is happening When you appeared at the counter

Was dressed as an Arab two wrinkles formed on the man’s forehead he went to the sliding door he looked outside and when he turned to Melina he said somewhat embarrassed I wish I could tell you what is happening but I can’t I just ask you to trust me for now

You should just know that I am a compatriot who is in trouble and you helped me much more than I am able to express in words those men would kill he might have locked me in prison

What did you do to have the police chasing the stranger you didn’t hold back and laughed oh women you are convinced that you were committing some kind of mistake no what do you imagine I did do you think I robbed a store

Or that I was even more audacious and I robbed a bank to commit one of these crimes you wouldn’t need to dress up as an Arab Melina reasoned for her own good It’s better not to be too curious the

Stranger warned her at the moment my big problem is getting out of here without attracting the attention I need No clothes How about your Arab costume At the moment it’s soaked I hid it in the toilet

This time it was Melina who laughed it looks like a TV series Are you sure there is no camera focusing on us Unfortunately the case is real and very serious replied the English I need

One more favor from you Go to the counter, stay there for a moment as if you were admiring the landscape then come back and tell me if you noticed anything suspicious Melina answered the request and stood looking at the sea

At the sun shining on the white terraces and at a plane that was coming from Gibraltar when she looked up she noticed that a troubled head quickly hid behind the balustrade there was an Arab on the roof to the left she informed the Englishman entering the room he quickly hid his head when

I looked up that was what I expected now please open the door, go out into the corridor and see if there is anyone around again Melina obeyed him although she thought she was getting involved in a

Scary Plot she saw at the end of the long and narrow corridor an Arab sitting on the floor looking asleep there is an Arab there Melina pointed to the place, not that it’s one of the employees at the

Wonderful hotel, huh, I’m stuck in this room and I only have this robe to wear, I need to think about what to do, wouldn’t it be better if you told me the reason for all this Melina insisted It’s not fair

For me to hide it her in my room, being scared and not even knowing a knock on the door made her interrupt what she was saying, she whispered to the stranger to hide in the bathroom, the Englishman

Obeyed promptly and turned the key in the lock, she took a deep breath to calm herself. went to the hallway door and asked who it is. Ambrose, relieved that he wasn’t some bloodthirsty Arab, Melina opened the door, welcomed Senora Schuster’s young friend with a charming smile,

Mr. Whitley, I wasn’t expecting him, I came here, Melina, because I found out that Lilith fired her, I thought it was very unfair of her, Ambrose said as she entered the room, it doesn’t matter, Melina

Felt like she had argued with Senora Schuster a long time ago, at the moment it was the man hiding in the bathroom and the danger that surrounded him that was scaring her my cousin had no

Right to fire him from one moment to the next and in my opinion for no reason I know Liles she thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she has a lot of money beauty and above all she is American

Americans think that God made the world for them, know that your boss can’t stand the idea that she can’t always achieve what she wants, in general, she gets everything she wants, no, Melina pointed, distracted, not at all interested in Senora Schuster, Ambrose Whitley, approached- I

Took her and held her by the shoulder, look at me, I know it all happened because of me, I’m afraid I made it too obvious that I admired nothing more natural, Melina, because you are truly beautiful, no man

Is indifferent to your beauty, but I came here because I have a plan wants to know what it’s all about, yes, you can talk as soon as you see Bros. Melina had thought about telling him about the Englishman hiding in the bathroom

Now, but she preferred not to discuss the subject any further, how to explain the presence of a stranger in her rooms using just one robe if you didn’t even know his name what I’m going to tell you

Will certainly surprise you but I hope you agree with the idea I had ambrose started maybe you don’t know but I can’t fight with lth I’m a very distant cousin of lth and she promised to finance it an

Invention of mine at the same time I don’t want you to leave so I know that if you agree to stay in Morocco I can pay for her to stay in another hotel, not as luxurious as this one but comfortable,

In the afternoon when I’m resting or at night after she goes to bed we can see each other and have fun Melina looked at him perplexed, always finding Ambrose presumptuous and roguish but it had never crossed her mind that he would be capable of making her such an outrageous proposal, she pushed

His hand away and replied in a glacial tone, I’m sorry, Mr Whitley, but I don’t agree with your plan, please Melina, understand my position, I can’t ask Lilith to come back back and ask for your secretary because

I like her and want her with us many things are at stake at the moment the same is happening to me my self-respect and my reputation are at stake and I consider you very convinced Mr Whitley I’m not

Interested in you at all As a man, Ambrose’s astonishment was so great that he blinked his eyes a few times, perhaps he would have been less surprised if she had slapped him in the face, in

Fact he was attractive and without a doubt countless women must have found him Irresistible, in addition to his physical beauty, Ambrose was well educated and had a pleasant conversation he was a member of the best clubs

In London and danced very well no what I said is really true Melina Ambrose asked, unable to believe what she had just heard It’s true I said what I feel only then Ambrose Whitley seemed to convince- if Melina really didn’t like him very well, he replied, resentful,

If he doesn’t want my help, I can only hope that he finds a way to return home easily, my cousin told me that he only has a week’s salary, after which he could go hungry Anyway

, maybe Lil forgot that There are other ways for a pretty girl like you to make a living, the insinuation and the mocking Tom made Melina control herself so as not to throw something at that vulgarian, but he left the room, slamming the door with only force then Melina

Remembered her problem, I managed to get the money for the ticket to London. Without a doubt, she would have to go to the British consulate. A serene voice behind her took her out of her reflections. You were wonderful.

I almost didn’t appear in the room to kick the Pati’s ass I controlled myself when I remembered that I don’t have shoes Just imagining Ambrose Whitley being kicked by that tall, muscular man Melina laughed heartily, it’s true, the stranger asked, really what, What did he

Say about you being fired and being no money unfortunately I’m going to the British consulate they usually help English citizens in situations like mine the stranger sat on one of the beds I have a better idea I want you to work for me I need someone like

You I’m afraid I can’t give you references to Senora Schuster My boss would never recommend me, she said I’m incompetent and cheeky, Melina observed with a smile, what was the reason for the dismissal, our friend Mr Whitley, I believe so, Mrs Schuster is liking him Melina

Replied, having fun with the Englishman’s perception and he is liking it I ‘ve heard a story like this before, to me it all seems like an adventure novel, Senora Schuster, Ambrose Whitley, and you think I’m crazy, being in the middle of an adventure

Is no better than being locked in an office, hammering away at a typewriter in whitehall or another place where you worked before hampstead said Melina automatically looking at the sun outside yes it is much better I always wanted to visit Morocco and I can hardly believe I got this far that I

Find myself in Tangier where you were going with Senora Schuster to Marrakech speculated the strange exactly I also dreamed of visiting Marrakech I saw Winston Turtle’s paintings and I have been collecting photos of Moroccan cities since I was a child and now because of my idiocy

I will stop continuing the trip with Senora Schuster your idiocy of who else can If it’s my fault I should have pulled my hair back, tied it in a bun and worn glasses that way I wouldn’t have caught Ambrose Whitley’s attention and of course I don’t feel the slightest attraction for him

And I also know that he isn’t interested in me either. man is egocentric and only thinks about himself, he is convinced of his power of seduction and thinks that all women are easy prey, saying that, you makes me regret throwing away my shoes Oh if I had my army boots What

Difference would it make ? Outside, sinister-looking Arabs were waiting for Him to arrest him or kill him, getting serious, he observed, it would be better not to stay here and chatter because you are in danger in the first place, obviously, you

Need clothes, how do you plan to get them, in the first place, you must accept my job offer the stranger corrected it I’m sure that Mrs. Schuster didn’t pay her A good salary I can tell you that working for me you will be well paid she fired me and I

Urgently need someone like you I think this should count in the your decision despite being interested in the job Melina acted like she needed to know more about the stranger and what type of work she would have to do I believe we should introduce ourselves I don’t even know your

Name but I know your name is Melina what is your last name lindy Melina lind a lovely name and what is your name Benjamin Ward my friends and most enemies call me Bing now now we are introduced Nice to meet you And thank you for offering me a job I am inclined

To accept it as long as you assure me that I won’t get stabbed in the chest on a dark night that I can’t promise you that Beng replied seriously standing up how can I guarantee what could

Happen to you Maybe I shouldn’t ask you to work for me at the same time I believe you have It was the providence that made me find you among so many counters in this hotel and I ended up

At yours And by coincidence you just lost your job well I’m not a person who gets scared easily if by accepting the job I’ll be able to stay in Morocco my answer is Yes, you

Will remain in Morocco because it will be difficult to leave the country. Bang looked at Melina and she noticed that his previously blue eyes had become gray and cold like steel. Since he agrees to work

For me, I must be honest and reveal to him what he will have to do. face I am a wanted man And at the moment I find myself in a terrible and dangerous situation What you must have already noticed I know that I will be able to

Get out of it because luck has never left me I hope so the hardness of his face softened and he smiled maybe you will think so What am I going to say but I believe in luck, destiny and Karma I’m

Sure it was luck or destiny that brought me to you and I can’t let it get away from me Melina looked at him carefully Beng wasn’t as young as he seemed to her At first there were wrinkles on his face,

Perhaps due to tiredness, but there were also wrinkles marked by experience. The most important thing was that there was something about him that inspired confidence. He was not an exactly handsome man, he had a severe, almost cruel expression that softened when he smiled. However, unlike Ambrose, Wiley

Bang, he seemed incapable of a petty gesture of disloyalty, much less of a betrayal, he could be inflexibly cruel, if necessary, but at the same time it was correct, I must be crazy to trust a stranger, Melina thought, however, he said in a voice High thanks for warning me about what

I have to face I know I will enjoy working for you I am the one who should thank you I hope things are not as bad as I am imagining well if I am employed What are your orders

Sir I want you to go to reception and let me know that your husband arrived suddenly my husband Melina interrupted him Of course he still hasn’t realized that she is employed to play the role of

My wife, that’s what we told the police officer and his must have already arrived at the police headquarters, well I hadn’t understood that the job would be to play this role , how important is it ? it will be risky to present a different story

Naturally Melina agreed great let’s get back to the subject now you must go to the reception to tell them that Your husband arrived unexpectedly and you will leave the hotel This afternoon you know how much I owe Senora Schuster, I’ll leave it paid by the end of the week, Senora Schuster might

Have to pay for my shower as an extra expense. Beng smiled, looking like he was having fun . one person I will give you the number when you are calling make sure the cabin door is closed tightly So that no one

Hears you, taking a piece of paper and a pen that were on the bedside table beng wrote down a telephone number he continued a The man will answer, tell him, I’m just calling from the Excelcior Hotel, I need you, that’s all he will understand. Be careful when you speak with your mouth pressed

Against the phone so no one can read your lips. Is there anyone here who can read your lips? Melina? she asked in astonishment there are many more people trained for this than you imagine after the phone call

Go back to reception and say that your husband’s luggage will arrive later Melina took a deep breath But something food I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon my God you must be I’m starving,

What would I like to eat? I don’t want any waiter to come into this room. It will be crossed out. Bing said thoughtfully. I can go out and buy something. There’s a grocery store in front of the hotel . What’s inside the package,

Leave it to me, Melina pointed out, taking the bag, I’m sorry but you’ll have to finance me until my employee arrives, by the way, when you talk to him on the phone, don’t forget to mention the room number, Beng reminded me at reception They may ask my husband’s name

What should I say it will be risky to mention your real name you are right do you mind if I borrow your surname I will be Mr Lindes I believe this will avoid complications well Melina hesitated since I am working for Don’t you think you must tell me what is happening

Honestly I believe it is better for you not to know anything for your own safety Besides the secret is not mine alone disappointed Melina walked to the door before leaving she turned to say I hope to meet you here When I come back, if you’re gone I’ll think it was all a dream

So Goodbye job and I’ll have to look for the consulate humbly I’ll be here Bing declared as soon as Melina went out into the hallway she heard the key turning In the door lock she walked

Quickly and as she passed the Arab sitting on the floor noticed that his eyes were closed as if he were sleeping but she could have sworn that he was watching her under his lowered eyelids, what also didn’t go unnoticed was that he had a knife at his waist Why I accepted the job

Offered by Bing If I had any sense, I would try to go back home, she thought as she waited for the elevator, being honest with herself, she immediately admitted that she had no intention of returning to England, on the contrary, she was already beginning to feel a tingling in her brain

And a palpitation in her chest, anticipating the flavor of that Adventure would not rest until he knew what Bing was involved in. When he arrived at the reception, he said exactly what he had ordered, although he found that explanation completely unnecessary. The hotel employee looked around

And noticed that a man very close to her was listening to her conversation, she understood that all that teaching was to make the story she had told the police officer about her husband’s unexpected arrival convincing, moving away from the counter, Melina went to the telephone booth, she was careful

To close the door, but as soon as she turned to the phone, she noticed that the door was ajar and an Arab was standing outside, almost leaning against the cabin, she closed the door firmly again and dialed the number that beng anara no Papel as soon as they answered she said here it’s

From the hotel excelcior or I left I need you 409 there was no answer just the sound of the phone being put on the hook when she left the cabin Melina found that the Arab had disappeared she left the hotel

And crossed the street to go to the grocery store she had the feeling of being followed but she didn’t notice anyone suspect nearby bought fresh bread butter ham sausages cheese and fruit asked the waiter who served her to put everything in a large brown paper bag and went back to the

Hotel Taking her time, she walked past the shop windows she saw on the way, as if she were very carefree, the feeling that there were eyes fixed on her as she walked did not leave her, finally she entered the room and was surprised to find Bing dressed in a gray suit white shirt

Navy blue tie and properly footwear like your servant was quick Melina exclaimed I can only deduce that he was close to here very quickly and you are being very curious Bing replied opening the bag with the purchases Um we have a feast for the gods here while he

He ate in silence, delighting in each mouthful Melina watched him with an almost maternal look as he felt full he exclaimed I wouldn’t trade this meal for all the caviar in Russia and now I can wait for my new visitor visitor Melina repeated with a start, don’t be scared Someone

Will bring us a car if we are going to leave the hotel today I need to pack our luggage, Melina said, I will give you half an hour for this task. In the meantime, would you mind if I lay in your bed

These last few days, I have only slept for a few hours, feel free, not well He settled down on the pillow, fell asleep, Melina watched in amazement, she knew that as quickly as he had slept, if necessary, he would wake up immediately, alert in a short time. Melina had her bags packed,

She had brought a few clothes with her, all the practical, comfortable and good quality pieces so as not to give her work she sat for a few minutes and as expected They knocked on the door it was the hotel bellman the car is waiting in front of the hotel Madam The boy informed

And handed Melina an envelope message for Mr Lindsy as soon as the boy left having received the tip Bing got up and opened the envelope on a piece of paper it said Vila Harris Without a word but showing contentment B put the envelope in his pocket the paper and took

The bags let’s go and his luggage I told the reception that the her luggage would arrive later, all of this was an act to throw off whoever was listening to her At the moment I have everything

I need minutes later Melina Lindzi left in the gray Peugeot without saying goodbye to anyone in the company of a man she had met a few hours before about whom nothing knew and that he had hired her

To play the role of his wife after passing through the busy streets of the center Bing He increased the speed of the car and asked Melina so are you enjoying this Our Adventure Senora Ward Chapter 3 outside the city Melina saw a whole village on a Hill white surrounded by a

Very high wall that is Villa Harris said Bing it was built by an Englishman who was a correspondent for The Times after his death the Moroccan government made the property a tourist attraction but visitors are not allowed to enter the house I would like to getting to know the inside of

A typically Moroccan house, Melina commented, you must have been in countless of them, which makes you think so, well, it occurred to me that wearing Arab clothes, you can enter their house, much to Melina’s disappointment, instead of answering, Bing stopped the car and warned that from now on

We will have to walk, I don’t want to ruin the car’s tires on these rocks and gravel Melina got out of the Peugeot obediently despite knowing that there was another reason for Bing to want to walk, they both

Went around the wall, they were at the top and could see the sea further down the the scenery was wonderful there were few people around as it was basket time and the Moroccans used to sleep until the sun and the

Heat subsided suddenly Bing turned to her I like the Sun and you can’t say yes this is the first time that I visit such a hot country Melina replied that there are countries hotter than Morocco, you need to visit India or the Persian Gulf or in June, Algeria, which

Is very close by, can be intolerable in the summer Bing was talking in a casual tone, but Melina noticed that the His eyes roamed attentively over the trees, the rocks, the bushes as if he was hoping to see something different or suspicious. They continued walking up the hill, they passed by

Two boys who were taking care of some skinny goats and when they reached a grove they stopped Melina was increasingly entranced. with the landscape but the same did not happen with Bing it was clear that he was restless and could not contain himself she asked him You marked with

Someone to meet him here maybe he replied enigmatically there seems to be no one around down there in those tents people camped from afar they look like boy scouts Melina pointed to Beyond the grass where the boys with the goats were Bing looked in that direction and saw

Far away a kind of monument or landmark, nothing extraordinary and now let’s continue she asked as soon as she finished speaking she saw something moving between the trees behind Bing It was all so unexpected

That she screamed Bing turned around Just in time to grab the Arab who was about to jump into the back and stabbing him with a knife, the two fought fiercely until Bing, being bigger and

Stronger than the Arab, grabbed his right wrist, forcing him to let go of the knife, the little man kicked, writhed to free himself, but Bing managed lifting it above his head and throwing it into the

Rocky bank above, he and Melina heard a scream, a dull thud and the sound of rain of gravel that was released on the body as it rolled down the slope and then the silence scared Melina. if, when

Looking at Bing’s sweaty face, he had transformed, not even remotely reminiscent of the calm and pleasant Englishman of moments ago, his expression was that of a cruel, merciless, devilish man in his eyes, there was a gleam of triumphant satisfaction, instinctively driven by fear, she began to

Run Without stopping, even tripping over the rocks, she passed through Vila Harris and arrived at the Peugeot Exhausted and panting, she leaned against the car to let her breathing return to normal . Bing ordered, I’d rather walk, the voice was inexorable and she obeyed simply because

She didn’t have the breath to argue, she let herself fall onto the upholstered seat and put her hands to her face, she couldn’t bear to look at the man next to her and see his devilish expression, a murderer who had

Pleasure of killing like agreeing to accompany him when he heard him opening the door, he shrank and waited for him to get behind the wheel but Bing didn’t get in the car, one of the boys who took care of the Goats

Had come up to him speaking in Arabic and asked him Bing asked Melina, do you have any change? With trembling hands, she shook off her tears, opened her purse, took the coin holder and handed it to Bing, he took out a coin and gave it to the boy,

Got into the car and threw the Bouquet on Melina’s lap Thank you, he thanked her, giving her back the coin holder, she turned her face to the window and waited for Bing to start the car, but

She heard Melina say, look at me, I don’t want it, she replied to me, now don’t be foolish. These things have to be done, try to understand me, it was me or him and I owe you my life, if you hadn’t

Screamed when you saw the knife, it would be me who would be dead at this point, don’t fool yourself, you would have a lot of work to explain why your husband was gone murdered by one of those religious fanatics

Near the village of Harris on a calm afternoon when everything seemed at peace How could you kill him there was no other way to get rid of him Melina look at me Bing asked again and grabbed her chin to

Force her There was no other way to face him But because he wanted to kill him you have to tell me how you want me to understand more you owe me that I won’t stay with you if you don’t tell me

The truth moving your hand away from her chin Bing looked at the Sun-bathed Hillside everything seemed so peaceful what are you waiting for come on tell me the truth please Melina insisted

How can I be sure that you are trustworthy I already told you that the secret is not mine alone and if you abandon me after knowing the whole truth, a word here, another there and only God knows what could

Happen Maybe you will trust me If you know who I am, my father was Sir Frederick Lindsey, the eyes of binga, rejoice, Sir Frederick Lindy, the man who He did so much for Morocco, heavens, why didn’t you

Tell me this before I met Frederick years ago, when I left university, I have his books, I read almost everything that was published about him. His father was an extraordinary man and he died poor, practically forgotten, Melina spoke with bitterness about all the people who wrote glowing articles

About him after his death never visited him, sent us the three years he was ill as If he wasn’t more important, your father will always be very important, I can guarantee you that, Sir Frederick fought against the slave trade, narcotics and for the peace of Morocco, all of this is

Very important for the history of this country and even the Moroccans recognize your efforts, daddy. He never made a point of thanks, I’m the one who regrets people’s ingratitude, he spoke about Morocco with enthusiasm as if he were a beloved son, that’s why I wanted to visit

The country he gave his heart to, with me you will know Morocco very well and we will fight for a good cause but you must have at least some of your father’s courage so tell me what

I must fight for being with you Bing looked around as if he reass that someone could hear him It’s a long story and I won’t bore you with details began his father fought his whole life to improve

Sea conditions and the new king has also done a good job the sovereign closed countless dens of vice and depravity he ended secret societies he eliminated criminal groups or individuals but not all of them naturally as it was if you wait There are many dissatisfied with the new regime, they

Have been working against the king for a long time and there is a political opposition movement ready to sabotage and prevent any effort to improve the country, you are referring to a revolution, I believe it will not reach that far, participants in this movement are not numerous nor

Strong enough for any revolutionary action they represent a great danger because they have no name they act secretly and you never know where they can be found but they will not be able to become strong if those who serve the king remain vigilant. that the man who

Was hiding in the tree wanted to kill him, he attacked me at the behest of someone. Who that someone is, we don’t know if he had succeeded in his intention and if I had been the one who had rolled down the slope,

My body would be buried somewhere and no one would discover what happened. What had happened to me This is scary Melina murmured Why are you involved in this fight against these men before answering Bing looked out of the car everything seemed very calm They kidnapped a boy

Whose son was a friend of mine we were colleagues in Harrow and at the time of the kidnapping I was at his house here in Morocco on vacation who is this friend, the boy’s father, I can tell you

That he is an important person in the government and was responsible for the arrest of two criminals who ended up being sentenced to death, the execution will be at the beginning next week more than that you better not know in case the criminals interrogate you do you think they can kidnap me Melina

Asked scared they won’t try anything against you as long as you are with me and the child will die if the criminals are not pardoned Unless a miracle happens and I find the boy, why did the child’s father turn to you and not the police? My friend preferred to act on his own

And keep the tragedy a secret . lo Because I know Morocco very well and I have experience with the police on the scene, there would be unrest, groups against the government would gain more strength and the boy could even die, I understand. Long

Story short, I have until the beginning of the week to find the boy, he could be hiding anywhere. Impossible place in this country, how can you find it by acting alone? I’m not alone. There are loyal and decent people among the poor, the beggars and even among the goat herders

. on the other side, that boy who brought you the flowers said something to you, no Yes, it was a message from your father from what you told me and having seen what happened

I can only deduce that your coming to Vila Harris was just a way of attracting you got it so far smart Bing held Melina’s hand before asking why you ran away from me it’s your turn to

Tell me the truth we must trust each other your face was so transformed that it scared me you had just killed a man and he looked happy Triumphant and he was Bing admitted I had reason to be happy to be rid of one of those swine torturers of a boy

Of 6 years torturers Melina repeated in horror That’s right they have been sending messages saying that they will whip the boy every day until the suspension of the sentence of criminals sentenced to death is announced Oh no now you understand and are willing to work with me naturally

I accepted the job for accepting but now I will do everything in my power to help you discover the boy We can’t waste time we will go to FZ the message brought by the little goat herder

Was what you are looking for you are going to do it, Bing said, he maneuvered the car and went down the street hill Melina remained silent although she had a thousand questions in mind to ask, she thought it best to let Bing

Concentrate on the journey once on the road the Peugeot, despite being small, had a strong engine and overtook the Car much larger cars on the way to the city which was in the center of the country Are we being followed Melina asked, having a bad feeling, is it possible Even though I looked

Different when I left your bathroom I’m sure I didn’t deceive them So why didn’t they kill him at the same time or later when I left the room alone? God knows, maybe the men were ordered not to kill me Besides, we were in the hotel Where there are a lot of people, remember

That the death of an English citizen in a luxury hotel with witnesses is always something compromising, but if my body were found in the Encosta da Colina, with the killer disappearing into thin air, the case would be very different, it’s terrible, we have to deal with unknown, invisible, faceless enemies

Who act surreptitiously, unfortunately, They Don’t Wear a Uniform, the king knows about the boy’s sequel, Of course, but he also can’t manifest himself for good of your government and the boy’s safety, but His Majesty is helping a lot, he has appointed capable and loyal men to help secretly

In the hunt for the kidnappers. Do you know who they are? What I know is that my friend’s servants and the boy’s governess stayed devastated when they kidnapped him and are doing everything they can

To help us in some way, not based on clues about the kidnappers. The maid who was on the beach with the boy only said that two men grabbed him and took him in a car, but the description she

Gave of the men and the car, it did little good, it’s terrifying, I’m thinking if it’s not a mistake for me to involve her in all this. When I met her, I thought heaven had placed her in my path and I couldn’t

Miss the opportunity to ask for her help, but now I’m almost convinced that you’d better go back to England, know that now I’m the one who doesn’t want to go Melina declared Are you absolutely sure of what you’re saying they stopped to eat and drink something in the village

While they were being served Melina observed the owner of the establishment And questioned – whether he had already received any information about the couple traveling in the gray Peugeot, he reassured himself when he noticed that everything

Seemed normal and calm, as soon as he asked the owner of the establishment for the bill, Bing asked him in a casual tone in French, could he tell me if yesterday passed? Here two or three friends

Of ours with a 6 year old boy were traveling in a large car special for tourism I was hoping to meet them here but I was late because of a problem with the car the man hesitated not out of

Distrust but because he was trying to remember what happened the day before finally revealed yes I remember that yesterday some men were here with a boy for lunch the boy asked for milk but I only had goat’s milk and he said he liked cow’s milk Oh yes they must being our

Friends if it weren’t for the problem with the car we would have arrived yesterday it was also a shame I hope we meet them later their driver told me they were going to Fez and asked me how

Far it was to get there, added the owner Mr. Do you know how many kilometers from here, my wife and I intend to spend the night in that city, only 80 km, we will both get there by nightfall. Thank you very much, Binga said thank you, holding Melina’s arm, he left the

Establishment with her and whispered to her, Don’t look anywhere and stay in silence arriving at the car he deliberately examined the tires he wiped the windshield with a cloth and finally got behind the wheel and drove off do you think the man suspected us Melina asked his voice sounded very natural

And we found out that we are one day behind the kidnappers Camels or people on horses are used for carts Fez is the largest native city in North Africa but the kidnappers won’t stay there with the boy I think I know where they will take him B

Spoke slowly as if he had a plan in mind looking at him Melina commented From your expression I know you’re planning something dangerous everything is dangerous but we have to take risks you’re scared you want to give up everything I’m glad I came with you I want to help you save this

Child and I’m not scared like I thought she would get well girl is showing that she is Sir Frederick Lindsey Bing’s daughter praised Suddenly Melina felt happy she put her hand on Bing’s shoulder and thanked him thank you it was great to meet you sir Benjamin

Ward Chapter 4 it was beginning to get dark when they saw it did to Melina’s surprise B left the main road and took a secondary road, stopping at a tree, what are you going to do, she asked, am I going to

Change the plates on the Peugeot, I can’t do that in the city, said Bing, he got out of the car and opened the trunk Melina went after him at least he could exercise his legs he saw Bing take out the

Two suitcases put them on the floor and press a secret spring the false bottom of the trunk opened revealing Countless things including another Suitcase you are full of surprises she exclaimed he looks like a magician ready for his Prest numbers Typing there was no response ding took two plates with the

Car number and with great skill replaced the old plates with the new ones Ready he appreciated the work done this already helps to deceive our enemies and now the other disguises He opened the suitcase full of stickers from different countries, he put away his jacket, shirt and tie and took from

It a very colorful printed shirt which he put on leaving it outside the CAA he looked like an American he completed the look with a cap and sunglasses he is a perfect American Melina he said

With a laugh now he must be careful with his accent I know how to imitate American English very well I lived in the United States for a year and a half Bing said and I don’t need to disguise myself with any disguises you are

My English wife It could be that many people have seen her Tanger therefore Our story will have to be coherent, by the way. Does anyone know that Sir Frederick was your father, I told Senora Schuster when I was

Interviewed, but she had never heard of my father and wasn’t even interested in knowing who he had been, better, but the fact that his father was so important later on It will be of great value to us now we will continue the journey and along the way we

Will talk about the story we will tell if you ask us questions the trunk was closed they got in the car and headed to do Bing built the story they were going to represent we have been married for a few months

After a fight you started working for Senora Schuster as her secretary using her maiden name they both came to Tangier and I returned to the United States convinced that I loved her I came to Tangier you left the job and we’re on our second honeymoon it’s a

Believable story Melina approved we need to choose a surname What do you think of Cutter it was the surname of an American colleague great it’s discreet and unpretentious we’ll be Mr and Mrs Cutter they entered the city they crossed the French part and saw the great walls of the

Native City Melina shivered Bing I’m scared he confessed Me too but we have to think that the boy is much more scared than us and we’re going to save him after passing through two Arches they found themselves in the center in the Arab city, very busy, noisy and smelly, in

Another circumstance, Melina would be excited to see the old houses and all those people talking, shouting, the women having their faces covered with veils and the men wearing their heads covered with hoods, turbans or caps, Bing was driving with be very careful not to run over donkeys loaded

With goods, bicycles or even people who insisted on blocking them in the dark watching them But they weren’t the only tourists in the crowd, there were Italians, Germans, Americans, Spanish, a guide was explaining to a group of middle-aged English ladies, finally Bing

Got a parking space, come on sweetie, let’s pick out souvenirs from that store, he said in a pleasant tone. voice louder than necessary outside the car Melina Smelled the smell of mint fried onions of sheep horses goats men pulling animals passed by them pushing them others

Occupied almost the entire street with their flock of lambs tomorrow is market day Bing explained they arrived at a store but did not enter the owner hurried to show them Arabic shoes embroidered with gold thread Bing examined himself At the moment we have not decided whether we will buy the

Shoes We will come back later they both crossed the street went to another store that sold brocade fabrics muslins and cotton all very colorful and played the role of tourists the next stop was at a costume jewelry store and cheap jewelry they saw bracelets necklaces and chains with

Pendants known as the hand of Fátima in Eastern countries the natives believe that such pendants bring luck and almost all Muslim children wear it around their necks Melina admired the small jewels noticing her interest Bing warned that these pendants are not of good quality he turned

To the store owner would you have one of these jewels mounted with rubies I like that stone although red means danger, whoever uses the hand of Fátima is lucky, he is protected and is not in danger,

Assured the store owner Of course, I was joking, I will show you something that will interest you , I’m shy when following the man together with Bing Melina had the impression that the conversation between this man and the Arab was full of meanings, he was not mistaken, the man moved aside a

Rug that hung on the wall, revealing a corridor, the three followed it, then climbed a rustic staircase to the first floor of the building and entered a room lit only by an oil lamp placed on a small table in the center of the room around it instead of chairs Or sofas

There were large cushions the windows with lace curtains were facing the busy street where they had been Bing asked did you recognize me rasm you old rascal at first no Senor Ward because of the accent with the sunglasses but when he mentioned the words of the password

I was sure it was you sir you were mine and yes they called me this afternoon rasm indicated the cushions for them to sit on then it was Clapping went up to the door and a girl wearing a veil over her

Face and loose clothes appeared in the room Chau to two good customers rasm ordered her the girl is his daughter Bing asked niece my daughter got a good job in Marrakech can she be useful to

You we will have to go there Bing wanted to know Jasmin sat comfortably on the cushion in front of Bing with her legs crossed and replied calmly maybe Bing made the introductions rasm is an old

Friend rasm this is Melina my wife the Arab bent down touched his forehead in a greeting and wished that good luck and happiness would always come to them, mint tea was served and while they enjoyed it, their friends chatted calmly about trivialities Melina remembered that her father

Had told her that in the East it was etiquette to drink tea from Friendship Taking his time, approaching pleasant subjects, only later did they turn to serious matters Bing went straight to the point,

What he discovered Jasmin The boy is here and did everything to indicate that he was, but only then can you be sure of that, those who took him TM got in touch with the bosses and they are surprised that nothing has been

Published about the kidnapping they expected cries of protest and revolt Headlines in the newspapers the police taking action and troops looking everywhere that is precisely what we want to avoid Bing highlighted how many of them did it rasm did a wide gesture with the hands it is possible to count the grains

Of sand fortunately there are also many Loyalists like me however we cannot take the risk of openly proclaiming Our position was what I expected do you think these Loyal men will help us If necessary yes you can count on everyone those who bring with them the hand of Fátima rasm said he

Took a beautiful hand of Fátima from the pocket of his tunic and handed it to Bing it was a jewel [ __ ] in enamel blue with rubies and tiny diamonds very different from the cheap jewelry sold in the store

Bing took it with respect and asked There are only three like it in all of Morocco and you give me the hand of Fátima as a gift I’m not the one giving you the jewelry rasm corrected it, I understand, but

I’m very grateful, Bing, be careful and don’t leave it sample friend Jasmin recommended, if they know you have it, your life will be in danger Bing smiled, my life is in danger for countless other

Reasons But I agree with you and I will be careful, he opened the shirt kept the emblem inside a pocket made in the leather band that had the waist glued to the body and closed the shirt then

Asked rasm where do you think the child could be here in the native city I believe not the boy must be in Muler ibim’s house Muler Ibraim Bing was surprised, it’s unbelievable that he could be involved in the kidnapping, they are suspected, there is only information that one of the men who

Picked up the boy on the beach in Tangier has a large scar on his face near his left eye at the moment. man with the scar is at the mulé’s house Ibraim arrived at the house yesterday Who is this man

What do you know about him is he Russian suddenly Bing punched the table making the handle of the tray shake he exclaimed vehemently a communist conspiracy was what I imagined a few moments ago weeks I suspected that there was infiltration in the country and that the Communists were fomenting disorders I alerted

My friends but no one listened to me the information I received may be incorrect but that the man with the scar is there in the mulé’s house that’s right I thought that mulé Ibraim was loyal to the government he

Considers himself the law himself he is rich, powerful and has his tribe he spends more time in Europe than here what more could he want the government of Morocco Of course Bing spoke so loudly that Rasm put his finger

To his lips and warned to be careful until the walls You have ears How will I be able to see mulé Ibraim you will go to the big party with a dance that will be held tomorrow at his house a nephew works there and will get

The invitation he told me that the orchestra hired is from Casa Blanca the champagne came from France and the caviar from Russia I need a Rigor outfit with a White jacket an important detail there must be a label indicating that the outfit was made by an American tailor and fine shoes also

Marked that they were made in New York everything will be provided and delivered to one of the best hotels in the city where you you will be staying great by the way our names are Mr and Mrs Cutter I will need an American passport in Melina’s passport just add the married surname

How long will it take to have everything ready an hour or a little less Bing asked for Melina’s passport and handed it over He patted his friend on the back affectionately and thanked him, thank you for everything,

Let’s go to the snack bar in Serpent Square where I left the car parked while we waited, we took the opportunity to eat and now look at me and tell me if there’s anything wrong with your

Experienced man ‘s eyes and astute Rasm examined Bing from Above, he concluded that the hair is long and they already know that a blond man was staying at the Selser Hotel in Tangier and that bandit on his face must

Be removed, a good make-up will cover the right cut in that case, hurry up, man of God dye my hair and please use good quality European material the other time I almost lost my hair and had to cut it very close to get rid of that horrible dye now we are more experienced

And we use the best there is no time to Losing Bing turned to Melina, wait for me here, I won’t be long, I promise, he left the room with Jasmin and Melina saw the door close behind them both,

She felt curiously abandoned and unprotected, it was difficult for her to believe that all this was happening because of For a moment she considered whether it would be more prudent to abandon Bing and return to her quiet life as a secretary , but she couldn’t

. something that had transformed his face when he killed the Arab outside the walls of Vila Harris, but she continued to reflect, no matter how sinister that Adventure seemed to her, no matter how much she felt

Watched and persecuted, she knew that even without wanting to, she was participating with Bing in a drama and a struggle that affected the entire country, Sir Frederick, her father had also worked year after year for the stabilization of

Morocco, the country he called the Garden of Eden, no, she could not be a coward. until the day before, her life was limited to simply being a companion of Senora Schuster, now she had become involved in danger, a death in secret plans and a war between people for whom the enemy’s life

Had no value, remembering the kidnapped boy considered that he, like her, were like pawns in a great game that was incomprehensible to both of them, hearing shouts and cheers outside Melina got up, opened the window and saw on Rua Estreita a man mounted on the magnificent

Black horse being acclaimed by the people the A knight who looked 40 years old, strong, wore a white tunic and turban and waved to the people with his gloved hand behind him, two Arabs followed as if they

Were his bodyguards as he passed by the window where Melina was standing. He looked up and she could see the face of the man who received so much applause from the crowd there was something sinister in his eyes

And Melina felt a chill it was a momentary impression and she continued to the window watching the man walk away suddenly she felt someone holding her wrist firmly pulling her back and closing the window with go ahead you fool Why are you showing yourself like that Bing shouted he doesn’t understand

That we can’t draw attention to ourselves I heard the noise in the street and went to see what was happening Melina justified herself Who was he mulé ibim Bing replied oh I’m sorry I never imagined it was

This man who was passing by on the street he saw you right as he passed by the window He looked up She replied in consternation noticing her expression ding said more calmly it’s okay this

Is a store and you are a tourist it is natural that when you hear the noise, screams, I ran to the window to see what was happening, but I still promise to be more careful and not do anything risky, having finished speaking, Melina looked at Bing’s face and was surprised by

His shape, his hair was much shorter and browner. Did you like it he asked smiling you were so changed You look like a different person It was exactly what I wanted we can’t stay here any longer let’s go

Back down to the store They behaved like tourists Bing started talking in a loud voice with an American accent he took the bag out of his pocket Wallet full of dollar bills, he paid for the supposed purchase

And asked, please, send your employee to take the purchases within 30 minutes, I will be waiting for him in the car, perfectly, it will be as the gentleman wishes, Rasm replied in the voice of an elogist interested in pleasing the customer, do you have excellent articles in your store I will recommend it

To Bing said, thank you, sir, it’s very kind of you, said Jasmin, smiling, it was Melina’s turn to thank you, thank you for showing us the beautiful jewelry, I wish I could buy them all, she and Bing left the store and walked along the busy street to the diner Bing ordered a

Dish and said out loud so everyone around could hear that it was recommended by a friend from New York. When the dish was brought Melina thought it was strange but the taste was indeed delicious they served it to them also fruits, goat’s milk cheese, warm bread and mint tea, finally

40 minutes later Bing paid the bill, still putting on another act, claiming that he didn’t understand the country’s money very well, when they arrived at the car, a boy was already waiting for them with socks, dozen of otes wrapped in colored paper Melina took the packages and Bing gratifying

Jasmine and what had taken over the Peugeot shortly after they left the lighted streets of the city Nativa passed through another gate under an arch and found themselves in the darkness of the road to where are we going Melina asked the hotel take the passports they are in one of those

Packages don’t worry when you see the changes made to your surname and marital status the ink is special and will only last 48 hours after tomorrow you will have lost yours husband, in one way or another, you are perfect, think about everything Melina spoke with a certain irony, please, no

Compliments Bing asked, bring me luck Such words made Melina remember the danger they were in and that seemed to be everywhere outside in the darkness and even inside the car he tried to push away

The thought and asked in a weak voice the question that he had been tormenting since the beginning of the trip when we arrived at the hotel even introducing ourselves as married we can’t have two single rooms Chapter 5 beng reassured Melina, telling Endo not to worry when he arrived at the

Hotel he asked the receptionist I would like a suite with a living room and a bedroom with two beds even though I’m on vacation I have my business I go to bed late and I like to work without

Getting bored my wife She hates seeing papers spread out in the room The receptionist claimed that the hotel was full because of the big party she was going to see the following night Bing al raised his voice and with his even more accentuated American accent assumed the air of a rich and

Important man and he demanded I want to speak to the manager call the man immediately appeared and Bing mentioned a list of influential Americans who he said had recommended that particular hotel. Finally the manager managed to convince a guest who was alone to move

To a regular room and leave the suite to the American and his wife as soon as they saw the SOS with Bing and he took the covers to sleep in the living room Melina was penalized and suggested you can’t

Sleep in the living room I’m smaller and I accommodate myself very well on the sofa close to many places where I’ve already I slept on the sofa in the living room, it’s a luxury, Bing observed with a smile, I can also sleep on the floor, don’t

Worry in that case, Remove the mattress from the bed, Melina insisted, but Bing didn’t listen to her, he advised her to lock the door that led to the courtyard. which opened onto the corridor and to always speak in a low voice we usually say that walls have ears and here that is

Literally true He explained the natives know everything for them nothing is insignificant nothing escapes them and they are always ready to report what saw or heard my father had already told me the same thing and at the time I remember that I was scared and rightly so. They separated and

Melina went to bed but took a while to sleep, so excited was she about the day’s events and feeling at the same time confused, fascinated and scared when she would imagine when she got up that same

Morning that so much would happen, she had lost her job, her security and now she found herself on an Incredible Crazy Dangerous Adventure whose ending was unpredictable, there were so many things she wanted to ask to Bing, but he remained closed, full of secrets, she was sensitive enough

To understand that she could not force him to confide in her . The room opened and Bing appeared at 8:30, if we’re going to order breakfast, we’d better leave it in order. Of course, you can let me tidy

It up. Rob, who was left on Umair, spread his wings and opened the window. The sun’s rays illuminated his face and hair, making them like threads of gold. For a moment, she admired the garden with the bougainvillea, flowery villages, tall palm trees, pink geraniums and red and white lilies

But beyond that she saw the Walls of the Native City of did the hotel Where Bing and she were staying was on top of a Hill and had once been the Palace of an ancient Sultan the owners who bought it and transformed it into a hotel sought maintain the original character

Of the Palace all the rooms were decorated in a Moorish style on the walls there were colorful tiles and the arabesques and exquisite carvings recalled the stories of the 100 nights the main rooms opened onto internal courtyards where there were fountains surrounded by palm trees and flowers the

Noise of Bing returning to the room carrying sheets, the pillow, blankets and the quilt made her look back, leave everything on the bed and I’ll make it, she said, thank you, I hate making the bed when I was at boarding school, the inspector said no one He made the bed as badly

As I did. Since then, I started to have a complex and hate this task . so he brushed his teeth and went to meet Bing in the sal this loss What are our plans? Melina noticed that he wasn’t looking at

Her either, but at the roofs of the houses in the city below them, he seemed to have even forgotten about her presence Bing, what’s going on, I asked him a question, she insisted, he insisted. He suddenly turned and smiled at her and apologized, forgive me, I was distracted with a plan in

Mind, get dressed, I’ll have breakfast brought Melina hurried, took a shower, chose to wear a light cotton dress and put on little makeup. because of the heat, shortly after she entered the room, a waiter wearing a turban and the traditional long White tunic appeared

With the tray with breakfast I hope the coffee is drinkable, dear Bing said, looking affectionately at Melina I still haven’t had a decent coffee Ever since we left New York, you’ve been very picky about your coffee, my love, Melina observed, trying hard to make her voice sound like that of a

Wife who knew her husband’s tastes very well, with a movement of her hand, Bing indicated to the waiter that he could withdraw- If Melina looked at what was on the tray, eggs, bacon, orange juice, honey, butter, bread, fruit, strawberry jam, she complained about eggs and bacon in this heat, try to eat well,

Probably not have lunch, Bing advised her, it was sensible advice and she followed it, ate from everything a little bit, he especially liked the jelly, the very sweet orange juice and the fruits, when the meal was finished,

Bing explained, let’s go for a walk around the city, I want to get to know the surroundings of the mulé’s house, Ibraim, I know that there is not his permanent home. He was born in Desert, the father was a Sheik who,

Thanks to his ambition, became rich and important with the cattle trade and I believe, with slaves and narcotics, tired of life in the desert of the men of his tribe and the Wives, the Sheik went with his eldest son to France in Paris, both led a life of excess and vice, spending fortunes,

When Sheik returned to the desert, he left mulé Ibraim in France studying, finally leaving his father to die, mulé Ibraim returned to take over the leadership of the tribe and the business of his much more ambitious father,

That the old man built the empire do you think he maintains the illegal trade in drugs and slaves Melina asked is it more than true this is a dirty trade dangerous illegal but highly profitable mul Ibraim doesn’t just want money but power that’s why he likes Surrounding yourself with

Influential people from Europe, you welcome them into your homes and offer stunning receptions or balls. Tonight’s reception will be in your huge Villa built on the foundations of an old Palace outside the city of Fez Mulé Ibim built another Villa in Casa Blanca and bought a vast

Property in Marrakech for his receptions and balls mulé Ibraim orders orchestras from France and even New York, it is clear that the people invited to such parties feel Lis onad and do their best to attend them, I don’t blame them Melina said no one was censoring but

Mulé ibim doesn’t play the role of host Prodigal out of generosity he has other interests suddenly beng stopped talking and became very serious his ears were sharp without saying a word he got up

And went to the door he opened it with a sudden gesture and saw the waiter standing there obviously trying to hear something what do you want Bing asked if the gentleman and his wife had finished drinking coffee

I will take the tray said the man modestly we finished poorly the waiter left Bing turned to Melina let’s go out and see the city, don’t forget the tour guide Melina walked away with her heart beating faster, fearing that the waiter had heard something, she ended up convincing herself

That he hadn’t been able to capture anything because in addition to speaking quietly, they talked in English and The man probably didn’t understand this language, yet she felt scared because she and Bing were very vulnerable, both were alone, fighting powerful enemies to

Eliminate those fears. She thought about the kidnapped boy, she needed strength if she wanted to collaborate with Bing, panicking would only get in the way. that operation risked rescuing the Power boy from the kidnappers by taking the umbrella Melina remembered Bing telling

Her not to forget the tourist guide as there was no guide she understood that he wanted just give the impression that they were both ordinary tourists if the waiter heard him they went down and saw in the lobby several guests arriving waiting for the keys to their respective rooms again

Bing PR PSE in playing his role as a tourist bought some postcards from the hotel stamps and spoke in voice high for Melina we have to send them to the United States love put them in the bag we can fill them out when we are in the sultan’s palace Imagine how

Amazed our friends and relatives will be yes dear Melina nodded taking the cards having proclaimed her American identity Bing left com from the hotel and they both went to the parking lot to get the car, the place was busy, full of hotel staff taking luggage to a bus loaded

With tourists, the women chattered, the husbands accompanied them with bored expressions, as if they hated staying at home much more taking care of the Garden without any interest in tourists Melina looked beyond the Arcades of a courtyard and caught her attention a group of natives

Waving to those in the parking lot Who are those Arabs She asked Bing who was opening the car door the Arabs in black and white striped tunics are guides, the others are beggars, fortune tellers, snake charmers, salesmen and who knows what else, they

Are not allowed to enter the hotel grounds so they stay in the surrounding area where unfortunately we will have to pass by they Close the car window Bing recommended, as he had predicted, passing through the Arabs was a cost, three of them leaned against the car offering themselves as guides, salesmen

Insisted that they buy raffia hats, leather bookmarks and even pinwheels for beggar children and women with babies they stretched out their hands asking for alms I thought I should We should give them something said Melina with a sigh as the car left

The crowd behind in a Cloud of dust if you gave a coin the news would spread and they wouldn’t leave it anymore in peace they are all professionals and they know a fool from afar Morocco is what I imagined a sunny country with palm trees noise beggars vendors Palaces this all pleases me

But firstly we have to find the boy as soon as possible Bing completed Maybe we will find him this night in this case what we will do I still don’t know it’s impossible to make plans in this type of activity

We count on our intelligence and presence of mind so that at the right time we know how to act realizing that he didn’t want to continue with that subject Melina was content to admire the landscape

The road was winding and they were climbing a hill on the slopes she saw fields cultivated with trees and on the road they passed boys driving white oxen and donkeys with large loads of firewood

Or straw is this the way to the mulé’s house Ibraim Melina wanted to know isn’t it the direct route to get there, I preferred to turn around and go beyond the house to explore the surroundings Bing clarified after driving

2 km he left the highway and took a poorly maintained and narrow road flanked by huge rocks and stunted trees with thick and strange trunks long branches and horizontal finally Bing parked the Peugeot under a tree got out of the car opened the door for Melina to get out and

Took two cameras that were in the back seat one for you and one for me tourists carry cameras where followed them two of those bundles of rasm they were these cameras are of the best quality,

Very expensive to demonstrate that we are rich. Then we will have to return them, tell me about Jasmin Melina asked. After all, who is he and you didn’t finish telling the story of mulé Ibraim, it was imprudence

To talk about him at the hotel Bing censored if do you think the waiter heard what you said I don’t know I can only say that he did his best to listen to me listening to guests is part of the routine of

Hotel employees here in Morocco if they don’t do it for the government or against it they do it- no to the police to the hotel owner to shop owners Bing sighed no native can resist the allure of a gossip Mystery intrigue and everyone has a great interest in selling

Information that earns them something This must be a kind of game exactly they walked through the trees to the top of the hill the view from up there was fantastic the green stretched to the right as far as the Horizon where sky and earth merged to the left the city of Fez

With its high walls the towers of the minarets the Palm Trees and beyond the white modern buildings of the French Quarter just below them shining in the sun like glorious A jewel was the village of mulé Ibraim, completely walled, with two guardhouses with sentries, surrounded by gardens with fountains.

Cypress trees, a profusion of multicolored flowers so exuberant that they looked like a painting made by an impressionist master who, using the colors and nuances of his palette, made the house huge. with internal courtyards, an architectural ensemble with perfect balance, looking more like the work of an

Ancient Greek architect than a building from the present century, the large pool with blue waters like the Mediterranean mirrored the sky above her, looking at Bing, Melina noticed that he was examining the wall despite although it was not excessively tall, it was all decorated with sharp iron spikes that

Discourage any crazy invader who tried to cross it. Suddenly, she thought that all the beauty and color of the property had disappeared and the place seemed sinister to her, the village is a prison, she murmured,

They say that the father of mulé ibim who built the wall around the village had 200 wives, all beautiful, so he didn’t want other men to see them Bing mentioned if the boy is in this

Fortress how will it be possible to get him out of there, that’s what I was thinking about getting him out the binoculars he had under his shirt Bing bent down to examine the Village in detail the German-made binoculars were small but highly accurate and with them it was possible to see a

Fly on the wall from miles away keep an eye out to see if anyone is watching us He Tom ordered him, he was so authoritarian that Melina felt resentful, then she remembered that he was the

Boss and that he was entirely dedicated to the task of saving his friend’s son, so he obediently looked around but saw nothing strange, some goats were grazing and a falcon was flying majestic bent down Bing examined the house window by window door by door she couldn’t contain herself and asked do you

See anything anything B stood up and went to the shade of a group of trees in which there were some rocks he bent down behind them inspect the village and the surroundings Melina always attentive said suddenly in a low voice a man in the garden quickly Bing turned his head to the

Left and whispered now there are two men by their clothes they must be Europeans see for yourself he handed the binoculars to Melina she took He looked at him and got scared because he had the impression that

The men were on his side, one man was dark-skinned and looked Moroccan and the other blonde must have been European, they were both wearing light-colored pants and a short-sleeved shirt. What do you think of the man who is on the right

Bing asked Is there something different about him I don’t think wait Yes there is a scar on his face above his left eye let’s go we have seen enough said Bing getting up and taking the binoculars o the boy is there that is the Russian who the hijacked Melina’s voice it sounded shaky

Don’t waste time with comments Bing admo I’m leaving here why do you think they saw us Maybe someone noticed the reflection of the lenses of the binoculars mulé ibim there are portholes everywhere at least we know that the boy is there Melina pointed out Bing didn’t hear her hurried to

Get back to the car and started immediately when they left the road and reached the highway Bing turned left away from FZ where we are going wouldn’t it be better if we told the police that the boy is in the village if the police take action there will be no chance of us

Even finding the boy’s corpse they get rid of children’s bodies very easily, said Bing with a frown on his face oh my God they are capable of killing a child, don’t doubt it, but it’s soft Ibraim would never be incriminated, he is too cunning to leave evidence or any

Evidence against him, therefore we must be even more careful, more esos and more intelligent than he, both go and call a village near the village. Look over your shoulder and see if there is an Amaro car in the next I asked Bing ah Melina confirmed after looking at TRS suddenly Bing slows down

The Peugeot and said I saw this yellow car in front of the hotel this morning is it following us now Think with me we are tourists where would a tourist like to go and what do they do

On a highway like this I believe that two tourists like us would like to take photos see how beautiful the landscape is that’s right Thank you Melina Bing stopped on the side of the road now just worry with

The photos and don’t look to the side or back in the field there were Muslim women who screamed in shame and indignation when they realized they were being photographed to calm them down Bing threw some coins at her he and Melina noticed that the yellow car sped by road behind

Them when they turned back he had disappeared from sight I need to contact my friend Bing said thoughtfully don’t go near a phone that’s what the enemy expects you to do Melina pondered you’re right but my friend is eager to know what we discovered Jasmin

Couldn’t Call her friend Melina suggested of course let’s go to the store with the excuse that we didn’t like some item returning to the car they picked up the packages and saw that one of them was a pair of women’s shoes let’s return them saying they hurt the feet Bing decided I’ll ask

To exchange for another item and made a lot of noise to sweat convincingly they entered the village took a walk and returned to the Highway towards the native city of FZ more relaxed Bing took Melina’s arm Thank you for what you’re doing by hiring- la I didn’t imagine that you, being a

Woman, would help me so much when I jumped onto that hotel counter I thought I would find an English guest in the room so I would ask you for help but finding you was the best thing that could

Happen to me I’m very happy with your company it seems you don’t think too highly of women I suppose it’s true maybe I haven’t met the right women they ‘ve made you bitter or skeptical both You’re right on the money what happened you loved a woman too much

And she behaved badly towards you you Melina asked curiously, to your amazement, Bing was driving the steering wheel with so much force As if he wanted to attack her, he shouted, stop speculating because women are

Box office tombs, they are all the same, do you want to keep a man under the lens of a microscope as if he If it were an insect, then D dry it Why do they do this? Don’t interfere in my

Private life, leave me with my secrets, tense and astonished, Melina couldn’t move. Never had anyone spoken so violently in such an offensive way, but she didn’t get angry. with Bing he knew that beneath that anger there was a lot of pain and unhappiness that woman could have hurt him so

Deeply Chapter 6 looking at her own image reflected in the mirror Melina thought that maybe she wasn’t very elegant to go to a big party the turquoise blue dress it gave her a young and innocent appearance, she had brushed her hair until it was shiny and with

Golden highlights she had done heavier makeup, hoping to gain an exotic look, but found that on the contrary she looked even younger and more naive, her only ornament was a pearl necklace. and Opals that Sir Frederick had bought in Burma for his wife, she made a point of wearing the jewel

On that special night because besides being beautiful, it brought her a lot of luck and more than ever she needed luck, security and protection, even though she wasn’t vain, Melina wished that Bing noticed her transformation but he was so focused on the mission of finding the kidnapped boy that he wasn’t

Interested in anything else if she appeared in front of him wearing a jute bag he wouldn’t notice much after the Explosion of anger That afternoon there had started to be a certain distance between them, it was true that Bing apologized, but nothing was the same as before when they

Returned to the hotel, Melina was happy to have the reception in Mulé Ibraim’s village to fill her with the danger they would be in in the village, the idea of going to an lbr dance at a house of 100 nights excited her during her years of life, they were never a truly

Grand party worthy of being remembered forever, I also had no close friends and never had a boyfriend, after this trip there will be many things for me to remember, she thought. I will have seen one of the

Largest and most luxurious houses in Morocco and one of the most powerful and feared men in this country for For some time she was immersed in her thoughts, rambling, she felt as if she were a character in

An action adventure film, but without romance, that wouldn’t take away the excitement of the moments she hoped to live, confident of herself and aware that she was very well dressed. she opened the door to the living room and stood there with her bright eyes awaiting Bing’s approval in front of

The mirror over the fireplace. He finished brushing his brown hair, leaving it up in an American style and looked at Melina. You look very elegant. He praised wearing that white jacket with shoulder pads and with that hairstyle you look like a perfect American as for the makeup it’s very

Natural and it completely covered the cut on your face an agent from those adventure films couldn’t have done better Melina approved only then she wrote down the stacks of paper on the table that Bing used

As if it were his desk where he arranged all of this, they were in folders in my suitcase, they are about the American stock market, completely incomprehensible to me, I hope the same happens to anyone who tries to examine them, every detail is very important, these precautions That’s what makes

The difference between success and failure and Speaking of details, see what we have for us. He took an envelope from his pocket with three rings and placed them in the palm of his hand . to see which ones noed the smallest

Perfect fic on Melina’s ring finger I imagined it would be this one said Bing now I’m going to hide the two that are left if anyone finds them they will think I’m a polygamist he put the rings inside a

Pack of cigarettes and threw it at the bottom of a drawer This place is safe, safer than if you left it in a locked place, everything that is very hidden arouses curiosity, you’re right, the ring helps me not to forget that my last name is Cutter Melina said if you “You’re

Ready, we can go,” Bing said, taking the invitation that was on the table and putting it in his pocket. Melina arranged a silk scarf like the one on her fringed dress over her shoulders, and in BSA she only had a scarf

And a small makeup case, she crossed the room and when he heard the sound of thin high heels on the wooden floor, he had the feeling that the love was about to start and Cora from the theater would soon be standing on the road going up the

Hill Bing had to drive slowly because there was a line of cars also going to the Villa by mulé ibim I would like to go to a dinner where they only serve authentic Arabic food Melina commented that

I doubt that Arabic dishes will be served at the mulé ibim party since the main guests are Europeans for Moroccans a party must have roast lamb and the eye of animal is given to the

Guest of honor as a special delight, in any case, I assure you that you will taste dishes that you have never seen, much less tried before, I am already hungry and hearing about food makes me hungrier We are

Arriving with so many people, no one will pay attention to us Bing observed satisfied, what will we do if mulé Ibraim tells us who you are, I don’t remember inviting you, it would be very rude of him to commit such rudeness, our host may even think we are strangers, but

In this country it is not customary to demand credentials from a guest like that Once we pass through the gates and enter the house we will be treated with courtesy the rules of hospitality are strict for Moroccans It’s true I remember hearing Dad say that at the table even an enemy was treated

With consideration at that moment a limousine passed on the left side of the road and without respecting the queue arrived at the gates of the property There goes a very important guest Bing pointed out who it was I imagine it was a Russian gentleman that I had seen before in Tangier I was

Sure he would be here tonight finally they entered the property a uniformed employee took the invitation and gently showed Bing where he could park the car, everything was going smoothly, Melina thought as she crossed the lawn and walked alongside Bing

Towards the house, there were lanterns everywhere in the trees, in the bushes around the flowerbeds , guests slowly and orderly climbed the marble steps of the house’s monumental entrance Melina thought they would also go to that line, but Bing grabbed her arm, pulled her

Back and took her to an arbor covered with roses, where are we going, she asked, walk naturally, we’re just seeing the flowers and the Fountain, he whispered to him, they both stopped, pretended to be admiring the garden, then continued to walk under a big guy until

They reached a balustrade, that part was higher and there were some steps to reach the lower level of the garden from the balustrade, they saw several people who had certainly already entered the house heading towards the tables and benches spread across the Lawn where the party

Itself would be held in the center of the ground, a dance floor was set up with large Arches decorated with flowers and lights were shining around the dance floor. Light sources with all the colors of the rainbow, spotlights placed in strategic points, they illuminated the existing flowerbeds

And the flower arrangements put together especially for that night. At the end of the Garden, there was a long table artistically decorated and filled with silver platters with food. Waiters wearing tunics and turbans circulated among the guests, offering them drinks. and appetizers There is no

Need to be welcomed by the host said Bing let’s skip the preliminaries and join the other guests as you knew that in the Garden we would have access to the party place without entering

The house there on the Hill it was not possible to see this part of the property very simple this morning when I was observing the Village with binoculars I saw nothing prepared especially for a ball and

I deduced that the party would be on the opposite side to where we were because I Imagine that the ball would be held inside the house inside the house it is too hot and in the Garden there is a lot of space besides

This stunning beauty As you can see but don’t worry later we will find a way to enter the house there was no need for him to say anything else for Melina to remember with a sinking heart

What was the reason for them to meet there the poor boy where they could have hidden him recognized that it was on his part to think of himself when an innocent man found himself in the power of merciless men

Ready to kill him if their demands were not met with effort he resisted the urge to ask Bing as he was planning to enter the private part of the house, it would be more than natural for them to circulate through the courtyards and reception halls open to guests,

But the boy was certainly isolated in a part of the Villa where no one could enter, under the strict supervision of Guards, they went down the steps to where the party was taking place, as more guests arrived, the noise of voices increased, the orchestra began to play

A romantic melody and couples went to the dance floor, finding themselves in the middle of so many people wearing jewelry, women wearing costumes, luxurious accessories decorated with diamonds Melina felt that her simplicity clashed with that ostentation. Suddenly, a white dress and a scarf, both embroidered with diamond stones, caught her attention

. Bing’s arm What is it he asked something horrible Sens. Schuster is here she murmured Look discreetly to the right at the woman in the white dress what are we going to do nothing but act natural you will have to face her and the sooner you

Do that It will be better if she sees you later and thinks you have been avoiding her. He placed his hand on hers to calm her and added Let’s go to Senora Schuster and you explain that you left Tangier without saying goodbye because your husband arrived from America unexpectedly.

I wouldn’t tell God, there’s no way she knows that, Melina replied bitterly, Senora Schuster accused him unfairly, she called me incompetent and impudent, don’t care that she’s gone through everything she has to do and take advantage of this meeting to say that she is My wife, if Senora

Schuster spreads around that you’re Senorita Lind, it could complicate our courage, let’s walk naturally Melina agreed with Bing, smiled at him and raised her head, how important was it, what Senora Schuster thought or didn’t think, there were a lot of things at stake for her to feel

Resentful because of that selfish and empty-headed rich woman very well, although this is an unpleasant task, I will not disappoint you, she promised, she looked at the place where she had seen Senora Schuster, but she was no longer there for a moment, Melina looked for her among the people who

Were moving around and finally located the most wonderful shiny dress she had ever seen in her life and which had impressed her so much when she took it out of her suitcase to hang it in her ex-boss’s wardrobe, Senora Schuster had her back turned, talking with Ambrose Whitley and as if she sensed

Someone approaching she turned around Melina noticed that she was wearing the very valuable set of diamond earrings representing Bouquets of flowers how are you senora Schuster Melina was the first to speak it is a great surprise to see you here senorita lind exclaimed L Schuster it’s really Melina lind you are the last

Person I expected to meet at this reception what are you doing here instead of answering a question Melina spoke in a casual tone I want to apologize for leaving Tangier without saying goodbye it’s just that my husband arrived

Unexpectedly I don’t think I told you about him, in fact we were separated, we had a fight and now we’ve made up and we’re together again, luster immediately looked at the tall man next to Melina, her husband, yes, allow me to introduce you, this is, she didn’t finish the sentence with

Completely transformed she looked at Bing for a long time then her lips parted and she emitted a small scream at the same time she extended both hands to bing bing you are Bing not for a

Moment I was in doubt but I see that it is you where you have been all this time and what you have done with his face to change like this if the meeting with lth Schuster left him disturbed Bing didn’t show it he remained

Impassive and spoke calmly Hello Lilith this is really a big surprise Bing where did you go when I was in London I tried to find you but my effort was useless Lilith Schuster spoke affectionately no one knew where you would have gone I was in the United States in America lth

Schuster exclaimed as if he had heard something exotic As timbuktu I spent a good amount of time in the United States business understand It’s a long story but it’s no surprise that you don’t found me if you were asking about me mentioning my old surname because I changed it

You changed your surname Lilith was surprised Exactly my godfather died and I inherited his Oil wells I took over his business And also his surname Cutter ding was speaking as naturally as if you believed in the existence of that Millionaire inheritance and

In the Godfather with the surname Cutter oil poos Lilith shuster repeated astonished oh but you have to tell me this extraordinary story I want to know everything that has happened to you since we

Last saw each other let’s dance Bing Ambrose will take care by Melina how are we not going to dance Bing agreed you will be fine no dear I will meet you by that bigger fountain after this dance Don’t worry

Senor cter Melina will be just fine with me Ambrose Wiley intervened speaking for the first time as Senora Schuster walked away with Bing Ambrose held Melina’s hand EA to the dance floor frankly You must have been married Ambrose spoke in a plaintive tone Wasn’t that kind of

You to make me play the role of Fool role of Fool Why do you say that Melina questioned without much interest in Ambrose’s conversation I was really paying attention to Bing and Lil Schuster noticed that he was dancing very well and that Senora Schuster was staring at him raptly, his beautiful head tilted

Back, his true lips parted, well I shouldn’t have made that proposal to him. You can’t imagine how I regretted my behavior Ambrose replied I decided to look for her to apologize understand I owe lth favors she financed the art gallery I have in London

And I want her to finance a new invention of mine I mustn’t offend her you know how possessive lth is there was no need for you to apologize I saw it like that he insisted I didn’t act well so besides

Apologizing to him I wanted to ask him to marry me I love her Melina and I haven’t been thinking about anything else tonight I haven’t even been able to sleep T read spend sleepless nights because

Of me, my husband won’t like to know that Melina observed, she knew that emose whitley now tells him He was talking about marriage because he heard her say that Bing was her husband and He was too ambitious

To think of marrying a poor woman, even though he loved her, I never imagined that Bing Ward would appear on the scene like that and as her husband Ambrose continued I’ve heard lth talk so much about

Him that it’s as if I knew him I was surprised to see that he has brown hair lth always described him as being blonde people’s hair darkens as they get older Melina explained all I can say is that lilias wasn’t happy when she found out that Bing got married Why She

Considers him her private property I would say yes they were once engaged and almost got married suddenly Melina understood why Bing punched the steering wheel That afternoon and shouted at her not to interfere in his private life is too hot for us to continue dancing, let’s go

Near the fountain where my husband must be waiting for me, Melina suggested with some difficulty, they passed between the dancing couples, went to the lawn and walked to the fountain indicated by Bing, shortly after the orchestra stopped playing and the dancers headed towards the long table filled

With food of every description and description Melina expected to see Bing or Mrs. Chuster nearby but there was no one there the dance floor was empty too They’re not here I guess those two have a lot to talk about said Ambrose noticing that Melina was looking around looking anxious Let’s

Go for a walk I want to talk to her about my love and also tell her that she looks beautiful I’d rather stay here could I get a glass of champagne for myself as I’m not going to look for a waiter wait for me

I’ll be back here soon after he turned his back, Melina walked away, ran across the lawn, hid among some bushes and sat down on a bench under a tree, and spent a moment reorganizing her still confused thoughts, when she could have expected Senora Schuster and Bing they had been engaged and

What a fantastic coincidence that they met again at that party it was incomprehensible to him that Bing had liked someone like Lil Schuster the woman was petty and selfish Cruel false liar and vindictive admitted that she was beautiful she attracted attention with her dark hair and eyes

Perfect skin, the sculptural body, let’s sit there, dear, we will be alone, a voice sounded behind Melina, we have already gone too far away, we must go back Melina was startled when she recognized the voices,

She looked back and saw on the other side of a bush of rose bushes and Madr Silvas Bing and Senora Schuster Bing, dear, I’m not going to leave you because we still have a lot to talk about Lilith Schuster insisted, we’ve already

Said everything we had to say to each other, Bing replied, Melina must be waiting for me, forget it, Melina, you haven’t told me yet. He left me without an explanation without telling me where he was going for what explanations if you remember you left me to marry Fulton I had to marry

Him but I never loved him you know that you wanted his money and you got it that wasn’t enough for you B he spoke in an aggressive tone, don’t talk like that lilyth asked you don’t know what I suffered Yes

Fulton was very rich rich enough to make a woman immensely happy that’s what I thought if I thought money could make up for the lack of love I was wrong I made the biggest mistake mistake of my

Life were years of agony of torture living with a depraved old man Too late I realized that I longed for you Bing If I Could Go Back I would have married you even though I was poor there was a moment of silence shortly after L continued when fon died finding you Bing

I asked about you to all the people we had met in New York but no one knew your whereabouts I was very unhappy and when I met Carl Schuster I accepted his marriage proposal

New disappointment he was an alcoholic we were only married for two months and I asked the divorce I then went to London hoping to see you again Bing no one gave me any news about you I wrote you more than a dozen

Letters and Tod they were all sent back what did you expect the choice was yours between my love and money you preferred the second Bing replied dryly but now since you’re so rich I can have both Lilith’s voice became seductive Too late you forgot I’m married to Melina

That stupid little thing lth spoke with contempt do you think she will be able to hold a man like you in a few weeks you will get tired of her I know that Sona because she worked for me and I can

Say suddenly Melina stood up she couldn’t stand there listening to that woman belittle her She took a few steps, went to the edge of the hedge and called Bing Bing are you there as soon as she said

His name she was sure she wanted him close to her she wanted him like she had never wanted anything in her life Chapter 7 Finishing calling Bing Melina waited holding her breath Will it be that he would ignore her or answer the call she was relieved to hear him ask Melina Where

Are you near Seb She replied so wait for me there Bing asked her I will find you Melina stayed in the same place and it was impossible not to hear lth Schuster saying in a low, imperious voice you

Can’t leave me Bing I need to talk to you we still have a lot to discuss and clarify for another time Bing was categorical it doesn’t have to be now Schuster insisted for years we haven’t

Seen each other we have a lot to say to each other besides From this we must plan our future Lilith Make no mistake we will never have a future in common now I need to go no Bing no Lilith’s scream was that of

A woman used to having everything she wanted and could not tolerate being contradicted by the silence that followed Melina knew that Beng walked away, knowing Senora Schuster very well, he imagined the frustrated woman scraping her polished nails on the Stone bench, this was an old habit that the willful and

Possessive woman had when she got angry, shortly afterwards Melina felt her heart beating hard when she saw Bing walking towards her He walked slowly and looking deliberately careless, not wanting to draw attention to himself, anyone who looked at him would be unable to realize that

So much was at stake, getting closer he linked his arm with Melina and they both went to a dimly lit and practically deserted place. where are we going? She asked softly, her desire was to know something more about him and Lil Schuster, but she was prudent enough to contain her curiosity,

What she least wanted was to provoke a new outburst of anger from Bing. Besides, the matter didn’t concern her, we have to plan how we are going to enter the house Bing replied, stopping under a

Fig tree we are near the back of the building I am sure that the boy is kept trapped in the left wing he must be very well supported Melina pointed out that it is surprising that a cunning man

Like mulé Ibraim has organized a party with a prisoner in the Villa, that’s because he’s being cunning, Muler ibim organized the party by opening the gates of the Villa to so many people, he demonstrates that he has nothing to

Hide and there’s one more thing, a big reception like this is perfect to justify the presence of guys with unpleasant backgrounds like the Russian with the scar for example your reasoning is perfect What do you intend to do we will be among the guests eating dancing demonstrating that

We had a great time within an hour or so you put your hand to your head and complain about who doesn’t feel well so I take her to the first floor where there will certainly be no guests

With the excuse that I need help I leave her reclining on a sofa and go looking for the boy it seems too simple to be possible you already have some experience In this game and you must have noticed that the simple strategies are the ones that work the enemy is waiting for complications

So it surprises him we will understand in this case No one is expecting a direct attack from people who entered through the front gate oh my God it is very dangerous What if they When they caught it

, noticing the distress in her eyes, Beng shook her hand and reassured her that nothing will happen to me, don’t forget that I have an American passport and Americans are respected everywhere, they arrived on the dance floor and danced almost the entire time in silence together like a

Couple in love then they took a break and went to the buffet Bing enjoyed good portions of lobster caviar and a few glasses of champagne while Melina ate and drank very little such was her apprehension they were still eating when they heard the sound from a different song what

Is this Melina was surprised let’s see what’s going on said Bing they walked away and didn’t take long watching another orchestra playing oriental music on a specially assembled platform representing a tropical garden with trees and exotic plants among which snakes and reptiles were seen upon seeing

The last ones Melina screamed but Bing said quickly The animals are fake Don’t be afraid of us host doesn’t want any of his guests to get hurt if that happens it will be a great humiliation for him ah I had the impression that all those reptiles were moving Melina

Said feeling a shiver it’s just a visual effect because of the lights I always wanted to hear oriental music but now I felt chills I don’t know why I know you are apprehensive for another reason but on the other guests the music had another effect it awakened sensuality see

They looked around and saw that the couples who were in the shadows were embracing each other passionately let’s get out of here Melina he asked can we go back to the dance floor the invitation was accepted and they danced for a long time as planned Melina complained that she didn’t feel

Well Bing spoke quickly oh dear let’s go inside the house where you can recline on a sofa I’ll go get him an aspirin yes an aspirin I have a headache Melina moaned Bing held her by the arm and led her to one of the flower-filled balconies they noticed that there was a large

Movement of people in the social part certainly Braim’s purpose was to let the guests admired the house, which was actually large and as large as a Palace, the main halls faced a landscaped inner courtyard and with a fountain in the center of it, Bing’s attention was

Focused entirely on the left wing, he began to walk with Melina, without rushing, they went to the inner courtyard trying to stay under the Arcades which were darker and they reached a corridor there was no one around and they saw a spiral staircase they climbed it in silence until a

Corridor lit only by a small lamp with the Bing signal told Melina that they should go up to the other floor, they suddenly found themselves in almost complete darkness, the only light coming from outside came through a window at the end of the corridor, they continued walking on tiptoe and opened

The rooms they passed it was a well furnished room but without luxury suddenly they heard the sound of a door opening and Bing whispered stay in this room and wait for me if anyone comes tell them you felt bad and her husband went to see if he could get some aspirin without

Giving Melina time to respond he disappeared, the room was very stuffy, she opened the window, sat in an armchair with her eyes closed and tried to relax, unable to stop thinking about the danger Bing was in, she began to say her prayers asking God that the boy would be

Found and that Bing would be able to get him out. him from that house For how long he prayed, he couldn’t say, suddenly he heard footsteps and was elated, imagining that it was Bing back, he immediately realized his mistake, the steps were firm and heavy, Bing wouldn’t make that noise, with his eyes

Closed, his arms on the chest Whoever was walking in the corridor passed by the room and continued forward Melina remained motionless but attentive then she heard a noise and felt a blow of wind indicating that the door had been opened Footsteps Someone was next to the armchair and Melina

Opened her eyes slowly as if this was difficult mulé ibim looked at him turning on the light when he entered she could clearly see his handsome face despite not being so young he had the features of a

Greek God however there was a sinister aura around him what are you doing here he asked in French , putting his hands over his eyes, pretending to feel bad Melina explained, I’m sorry, I think I fainted,

My husband went See if he can find some medicine But why did you come to this floor mulé Ibraim asked aggressively before answering Melina smiled and looked for keep your back straight, you are a woman Ibraim No, thank you for the beautiful party, I am embarrassed for behaving as foolishly as you

Did. You arrived on this floor, I think we were admiring your splendid house with so many treasures, I would like to see it all, I appreciate works of art, Where is your husband I have no idea

I asked him for an aspirin I don’t remember seeing him leave I think I passed out only then did Melina realize the presence of two servants at the door mulé Ibraim said something to them in Arabic and the men hurried away, certainly to carry out the orders given mulé Ibraim continued with the

Interrogation, his name is Melina Cutter, we have already seen each other before, naturally my husband and I are here since 7:30 what I wanted to say was had we seen each other before tonight for a moment mulé

Ibim frowned as if forcing his memory yes now I remember I saw your beautiful face last night in the window of jasm a’s house There was suspicion in the Arab’s eyes and Melina tried to dispel it

By speaking enthusiastically, yes, I also saw the gentleman on his magnificent black horse and of course I had no idea who the elegant Knight was. For me it was as if I were seeing a

Prince from fairy tales. of the 100 nights what did you do in Jasmin’s store is that the name of that store Melina asked everyone Inocência we visited several of them in the city we bought slippers for myself and souvenirs

For friends for when we return home and where is your house New York but my husband and I We travel a lot and even seem increasingly suspicious mulé Ibraim got up saying he was going to

Get an aspirin and left the room closing the door Melina heard him giving orders to someone who was in the hallway even though he didn’t understand the language she learned disheartenedly that he had said that They didn’t

Let her leave the room, being alone Melina noticed that her hands were shaking, she thought about the Powerful Mulé Ibim and concluded that he had a remarkable personality, there was no doubt that nothing would stop him from getting what he wanted, dealing with a man like that, Bing was in great danger,

She continued. On reflection, he would have to warn him that mulé Ibraim was already behind him, but how could he do that if he couldn’t get out of there? He crossed the room without making a sound and put his ear to the door, he could hear someone breathing outside. She felt

Too restless to sit where Bing was going, what would she be doing, how long had he been looking for the boy and if Mule Ibraim found him Would he kill him or arrest him, that whole plan suddenly seemed absurd? and crazy how could an unarmed and alone Englishman rescue

A severely watched child, she should have convinced him to give up that mission, the boy’s father to turn to the army, the police, the government or experienced people, the noise of footsteps in the corridor made Melina if you sat in the armchair with your head down your hand on your forehead mulé

Ibim entered the room there seems to be no one in this part of the house he spoke harshly could you describe your husband to me medium height brown hair has no beard handsome face and is wearing evening attire jacket White Melina listed there are hundreds of other guests with the

Same description woman Ibraim mumbled well what can I say yet Oh he looks like an American American Yes I am English but my husband is American we have been married for a short time the fact that

Melina mentioned that her husband he was American it seemed to make mulé Ibraim more relaxed and his voice became more affable let’s find your husband Senora Cutter the Arab said He certainly didn’t go to town to buy aspirin but he was probably enchanted by the paintings in this house

And forgot about me Melina said, smiling in the same way as me, he is crazy about works of art, if he really wanted an aspirin, he would just have to look for one of the servants, many of them speak English,

I still believe he is absorbed in one of the rooms of his palace, Lord, the way mulé Ibraim looked left him Melina was embarrassed, it was as if she had mentally lost her mind, his voice became soft

As he said, your husband should consider himself lucky to have such a beautiful wife, it’s a mistake for him to forget about you, beautiful women deserve all the attention, if you allow me, I want show you places

In Morocco that you haven’t had the opportunity to see yet Melina moved in her seat uneasily and made an excuse, I don’t know if we’ll still be there tomorrow, but if so, can I send a car ? who is interested in Melina your ol

Eost amed she balbu I don’t understand Yes, mbim cut none Muler is so foolish as to be unaware of her charms and the pod deir Senor without Melina Waiting for it and dis vecia Don’t run away from me destiny

Made us meet and we can’t go against what is written since I saw your face in that window it was imprinted in my mind it was the face of an angel suddenly the dark streets of Fez seemed to fill with light I thought I would never see her again now I

Have her in my house and we are alone we can be alone just for a moment because my husband will be back don’t worry about him live in this moment and let him work his magic don’t you realize that my heart beats for you that my whole being yearns for a smile

From your lips look at me without being able to avoid it Melina raised her head she felt that the Arab wanted mesmerizing look at me he repeated with great effort Melina pulled her hand and freed herself Bora shouted I know what you intend leave me alone what are you afraid of his voice

Sounded caressing and determined leaning over Melina he tried to hug her but she quickly escaped He ran to the door and opened it, I hear footsteps, it’s my husband, when he finished speaking, he was already in the corridor, taken by surprise, the servants couldn’t catch her, running without

Stopping, she went down the spiral staircase, followed the corridor and went out into the courtyard without looking back , finding herself in the middle of several people, she was no longer afraid of Muler Ibraim chasing her, she thought of

Bing, where he was, what had happened to her, she went to the garden at the back of the house where she had been with him, as if she could hear the His voice guiding her, she walked several meters, distancing herself

Well from the other people and staying in the shadows, she thought that that part of the house was reserved for employees, the light in some rooms made them think about going back before

Anyone appeared. At that moment she saw a curved figure on the sill of one of the windows he stopped and paid attention to find out if the man was Bing or one of mulé ibim’s servants. He then remembered

That his father taught him how to sobar by putting two fingers in his mouth, this would make the man turn around and She could see who it was, that’s what the Acute Whistle did, it made the man on the parapet remain

Motionless for a moment, then if he turned around, it was really Bing, he pointed with his hand towards the end of the building and Melina went there, ducking as she passed. through the windows lit by the noise of

Dishes, pans and the bad smell of the garbage cans. She was sure that as she was passing by the kitchens a cat meowed and jumped out of the shadows, startling her she reached the corner of the house and looked up, hoping to see

Bing but he had disappeared she was ready to shouting in fear when she saw him nimbly descending a drain pipe next to the tense wall she watched him fearing that he would slip Breaking a leg or an arm instead he jumped a short distance from where she was and ran to

Her side he asked Why did you leave that room I’ll tell you later we have to leave quickly Melina warned nervously Bing was surprised by that commotion what happened first of all I want to know if you found the boy we’ll talk far from here let’s go to the Garden

It’s not dangerous they They’re after us, who are they? Ibraim and his servants, why didn’t you say so? He suspected you at first, yes, then he had other ideas, what ideas? I realized he wanted to hypnotize, please Bing, let’s go, that demon Bing exclaimed, but that doesn’t mean it,

Let’s go, I found out where boy later will we have the chance to free him I doubt they will be more attentive from now on and I don’t want to see M Ibraim again I’m afraid of him

They were both walking and arrived at an isolated and dark part of Jardim Dali they heard the orchestra playing but they couldn’t be seen at last and inside there is a man I heard his voice and that of the

Boy What do you intend to do if there are so many people watching the boy I still don’t know but it won’t be easy for me it’s an impossible mission did anyone see you well I had to go through a servant and I warned him

In Arabic they were calling him downstairs he obeyed me but told someone what I told him we’re certainly going to have problems so he convinced himself that we’d better leave, it’s impossible Melina stopped what she was saying because she saw Bing looking for something in his pockets What was damn,

Well I heard the sound of something falling I had to climb up on the roof to get in at the trapdoor in the Corridor everything went well but when I came back my jacket got caught on a nail I lost my sunglasses I

Brought them with me thinking that maybe I needed a Disguise The worst thing is that they fell a short distance from the boy’s room Bing clarified in annoyance Now they they know someone was there Melina concluded Of course smart as mule Ibraim at this point he put two and two together and he

Knows very well what a certain Mr Cutter, whose wife was on the second floor pretending to be sick, was up to, they both noticed a light and looked at Behind a door was open and three servants came out

Onto the lawn, they are looking for us, Melina said quickly, we have to get out of here, how could I be so stupid, Bing reproached him, a mistake like that could cost lives Let’s go among the guests, there is

The place safer they ran across the Lawn and When they saw people walking among the flowers they stopped and looked at the house mulé ibim was on a terrace talking to a servant wearing a more ornate tunic which indicated that he was a higher category employee. Perhaps a

Butler at least way for the host to move his arms covering a large area including the parking lot Bing was sure he was giving orders for the property to be searched they will be looking for noos everywhere Melina whispered, panting because of the race without arguing Bing

Gave her his hand and they both started to walk quickly towards where they had left Peugeot behind them someone shouted Bing where are you going it was Lilith Schuster she took a few steps to catch up with them

And added I forgot to ask you where you were I want to see you Tomorrow we are at the Hotel Jasmine Bing replied oh We are also wonderful lth he was happy early tomorrow morning I’ll call you we have a lot of

Plans to make yes phone Bing agreed dryly he turned to continue walking but Lil held his arm you’re not leaving it’s not too early to dance with you again and ambrose has been anxiously looking for Melina let’s wait near the big light source we will find them

In 15 minutes now we have to talk to someone feeling satisfied lilet gave a beautiful smile and walked away Bing and Melina headed in the direction Opposite they got into the car and Bing started it Will they stop us at the gate Melina asked Bing He was sure they

Wouldn’t leave without the guards stopping them because he had seen one of them talking to the house on the intercom he accelerated the Peugeot and warned Melina hold on firm as soon as one of the guards took a step and raised his

Hand ordering him to stop the car beng passed him at full speed and the only reason he didn’t take his arm off was because the man immediately jumped to the side look back Bing ordered what the

The man he’s doing is standing there looking at us wait now he went to the intercom well we escaped in time Bing murmured in relief he continued driving quickly down the hill and at a certain point he left the paved road and entered another dirt road he stopped He turned off the engine

And the headlights what are you doing let’s wait a moment watch the road they were in the dark in silence shortly after they heard the noise of a big black car Bing did you see I think there were

Two men in the back seat Melina whispered two men and a boy sitting between them Bing completed Chapter eight, wait for me here, I need to see if the danger has passed, said Bing, getting out of the car and

Looking around, feeling terrified for being alone Melina got out of the car and went after Bing, who was climbing up the rocky slope of the Hill in the direction of some trees, sand and tiny pebbles got into her satin shoes and she was forced to walk slowly,

Finally she reached Bing, walk low He ordered her, it looks like there is a car stopped on the road, they both walked bent over between the trees and soon they heard the sound. the sound of an engine Bing looked back and saw a large vehicle with searchlights that rotated from side to

Side, the bright lights reaching a large area of ​​land without Melina Waiting for Bing He grabbed her, held her close to his chest and they both rolled down the rocky embankment until they fell into a kind of pit or ditch for a few seconds she could barely breathe, she felt Beng’s heart beating

Against her chest, finally she understood the reason for all that, one strong light illuminated the trees where they had been quiet Bing muttered under his breath they heard voices two men approached and stopped near the car in the ravine Bing and Melina could hear them talking in Arabic for fear of

Being discovered Bing pressed his own body closer on that of Melina, who felt suffocating in great pain because, in addition to Bing’s weight, the stones hurt her shoulders and back. They noticed that the voices above the ravine became more distant, indicating that the Arabs were returning to

Their vehicle shortly after the engine started and the lights that focused on the trees and the land around them went out with great relief Melina and Bing took a deep breath in the pale light of the moon she could see his face and his eyes shining good girl the words spoken very

Quietly filled Melina’s heart was filled with pride, suddenly she felt his fingers in hers, but there was no softness, desire or passion in that kiss . He left her hidden among the vegetation and told her to wait here, I won’t be long, where are you going, don’t leave me alone

? she seemed to see eyes everywhere she tried to calm down But the impression persisted that at any moment the vehicle with searchlights would be back and she would discover herself . to get the

Desired information, however, everything was silent, only the sound of the orchestra playing in Vila Melina could be heard in the distance. Melina closed her eyes, her whole body hurt and one of her arms was bleeding, she

Must have gotten hurt on the rocks, her lips were still burning because of that violent kiss Why had Bing done that? He certainly didn’t love her and had never shown that she attracted him to her, yet the kiss had meant a lot, it had awakened a flame inside him that he couldn’t deny.

Was she liking him? his safety would be that love there was no answer to So many questions he left his ramblings and returned to reality where Bing would have gone why was it taking so long he wanted to scream his name finally he appeared with how long

You took she complained what he was doing Vista quickly, Bing ordered her, throwing it at her feet, a bundle, it’s a garment worn by Muslim women, put it over the dress, you’ll find the face veil and a pair of bauches in the bundle, Melina obeyed, Bing also took off her

White jacket, and put on a tunic. striped in white and gray and on top of the black apron on his head he wrapped a turban quickly he buried his jacket his shoes and socks Yours and Melina

Let’s go he said, stretching out his hand and pulling Melina We’re going in the direction of the village she exclaimed aren’t we ? dangerous on the contrary there are people outside the gates watching the guests entering and leaving the property but two curious natives will not be noticed keep your head down

And always stay a little behind your husband like a submissive and obedient wife and the car let’s go Leave him behind, forget him, we won’t need him, they both walked quickly in silence and reached the paved highway. For Melina, it was a relief to get rid of the sand and rocks on the

Road, but her joy was short-lived because Bing just crossed the highway and continued. walking along a bumpy road in the direction of FZ do you think they saw us Melina asked if they saw us we’ll know in a few seconds but they didn’t hear screams or calls coming from the village the natives

Were still crowded around the gates spying movement in the Gardens for us the party ended Bing he added laughing What was the reason for that laugh Melina couldn’t say anything it was being fun as if it wasn’t enough to have to walk over rocks and gravel with the bimbos

She still had to dodge cacti that were difficult to see with only the faint light of the moon after what seemed to her like hours of suffering and exhaustion. They arrived at the old walls of the Native City of Fez, I can’t take it anymore, Melina complained, stopping in my shadows. Your back

Is injured and your feet are in a terrible state, give me a moment to catch my breath. She sat on the floor and massaged her feet. I’m sorry I demanded too much from you. Bing apologized. Your legs

Are longer than mine. I hurt my legs. feet in the cacti and now where are we going to find the boy how can you know where they took him someone will tell us and if he’s already rested we have to

Move on it’s dangerous to stay here I’m ready Melina put on her bibs and stood up they went around the wall until they reached a gate decorated with flags of the Arab Republic that led directly to the Medina, after walking through just a few winding alleys paved with stones

. it closed and the door was opened just enough for him and Melina to enter, closing it and being bolted then they were in a dark corridor and could only see their way when a curtain was pulled aside they entered a small room lit

By a lamp of olive oil with leather cushions on the floor a small table and a cupboard against one of the walls Bing spoke in French to the very young man with glasses who had accompanied them there his

Father asked me to look for him if necessary yes he advised- me to wait for you the man confirmed dad he sensed that you would come to him and he was right we need him urgently Abdul I

Will call him Abdullah walked away and Bing turned to Melina luck is on our side everything is going so well that I’m getting scared, I don’t see that it’s going well Melina replied, so far nothing has worked, where are we going without the car and without the luggage, we’ll have everything we need

? made no comment because the man was back and behind him was rasm hamul Jasmin exclaimed this expression Melina understood I wanted to say thank the Lord we had to work quickly Bing saw the boy but I couldn’t do anything to get him out of mulé Ibraim’s house now they took him

To another place where they would have gone half an hour ago a friend told me what happened You took a while to get here we had to walk slowly Bing replied, giving Melina a smile, she looked

At her injured feet and wanted to punch Bing just for remember the way they had run down the hill towards the city but he had already turned back to rasm where they went to Marrakech Jasmin informed him he is absolutely sure the driver had to stop at a gas station

And asked to fill the tank because they were going to Marrakech, great, it remains to be seen how we will get there, I am sure that the roads are being monitored, the vehicle with searchlights that was looking for us was parked at the intersection leading to Vila Bing, he exposed everyone who leaves

The Villa will have to pass through there is no another way said rasm thoughtfully It could be that they suspect that you came on foot and there is one more thing early on a beggar sat outside my shop so I came to my son’s house walking on the roofs well we can’t

Go to Marrakech for roofs ding joked you will go by bus the first one to set off at 5 am plenty of time for you to prepare perfect you are a genius rasm But we will need

A good disguise the eyes of the Three Men fixed themselves on Melina there are women from the Tribe of rif north of Morocco with this type blond hair some freckles and blue eyes a little

Col around the eyes reindeer on the nails and on the skin of the hands and she will be taken hostage Bing concluded after a brief examination Abdul there will take care of the painting said Jasmim looking at his son at the

Same moment abdula took a pencil case from the closet he took off Melina’s veil and painted it around her eyes with paste a boy came into the room bringing them mint tea and almond cookies drink the tea and eat because they will be very time without eating, advised Jasmin Bing and Melina followed

The council finished the snack Bing went with Jasmin to a room and Abdul started working with the henna, he darkened Melina’s hands. Then he was careful to wash and disinfect the feet injured with thorns before painting them while he worked, he explained to her that even The light-skinned native women

Had tanned hands and feet from hard work and exposure to the sun, while their faces were always protected. Half an hour later they were ready and Bing appeared in the room with dark skin and wearing his own clothes. from a distant region of the country that perhaps no

Passenger on the bus had visited Thanks to you we will be successful old friend, thank you for everything Bing thanked Iná rasm replied the expression meant it will be like this if God allows it Melina also thanked everyone and shortly after she and Bing followed Abdullah who was guiding them through the

Deserted alleys to the intercity bus stop which was next to the railway station as soon as they saw the station Abdullah disappeared into the shadows Without a word Bing turned to Melina get ready the journey will be long and these buses shake In addition to stopping in

All the small towns and villages, it is also common for the driver to take a nap. They crossed a square where vendors were already starting to set up their fruit stands and women were passing by, carrying huge clay pots of water on their heads, several buses were parked. including the one

Going to Marrakech Bing bought two tickets and when they both got into the vehicle they noticed that it was already half full despite it being almost an hour before departure, appearing with masculine arrogance, Beng sat in the armchair near the window and Melina occupied the one on the other Corridor

He kept his head down, his feet tucked under the seat, more passengers arrived, a woman with a basket of eggs, another with two chickens, a sales representative with several worn-out suitcases, a couple with three children, a Catholic priest, the day lightened and the square began to become getting busier and

Busier, a truck full of workers from a factory left amidst shouts and noises from the men riding in the back, finally the driver appeared at the door of the bus, said goodbye to the friend

He had been talking to, spat in the street, looked at the passengers seated as if he wanted to see if everything was in order and took his seat when it started the engine made a lot of noise

And gave off some sparks scaring a woman sitting in the back she gave a scream causing laughter from those near her the driver hit the gear with a squeak and the PSE bus in motion we managed so far, so good Melina thought she wanted to look at Bing but she didn’t dare

To lift her head with great joy she felt his touching her as if to instill confidence in her and tell her that they would be successful soon He looked out the window showing indifference towards his wife,

Preferring to enjoy the bus trip as if it were something new and a reason for joy at that moment Melina knew that Bing meant a lot to her, yes she loved him, she couldn’t deny him even though she

Knew so little about him, even though she was scared when she saw him For him to kill a man, it was because of him that His Heart beat so wildly, all she had to do was look at him or have his eyes resting on

Hers Chapter 9 Melina’s head fell forward and she woke up with a start, not knowing where she was, an instant later the sound of the bus engine, the bumps, the suffocating atmosphere around you and the windows fogged up because of the heat and smoke, everything that happens to you this is

Going to be the longest day you’ve had . Airos went out to drink mint tea or eat Arabic food, which seemed inedible to Melina. However, without having a choice and feeling hungry, she accepted

The piece of camel meat that Bing had ordered and other dishes with such a nauseating smell, the origin of which she had not even dared to discover since When Bing had left, he had not spoken to her except to

Order them to stop at some point and return to the bus, each time she had followed behind him submissively and silently, having observed that this was the behavior of other Muslim couples in the cafes, she had always occupied the worst seats which fortunately meant sitting backwards

For the other people who were in the establishment, it was also correct to keep your head down and lift your veil just a little when you ate. Melina knew that the other men did not look in her direction for fear of offending her husband, who accompanied her. She

Was anonymous from security through the large windshield of the bus she admired Marrakech the city with thousands of date palm trees Enchanted parks and cougars with ruman and apricots so loved by Winston Churchill saw the high red fortifications almost millennia old stretching with

Geometric perfection in the glorious sun in the late afternoon that slopes towards the west behind the tall Palmeiras, I really wanted to talk to Bing and ask him questions, but I was content with the possibility of watching

With fascination as the bus, entering the city full of life, passed by the curcura minaret, the most famous of them, changing its colors ranging from ivory to brown from the rosy of mother of pearl to flaming red

As the last rays of the Sun fell on it when the bus stopped in the large square where there was a crowd, shouts and exclamations were heard from the passengers who waved to the friends and relatives who Bing and Melina were the last to disembark outside,

It was very hot and the noise and confusion were unnerving as they followed behind Bing through the gemel market square. Fina Melina found it even more extraordinary than the descriptions given by her father in the There were books there, snake charmers, fire swallowers, acrobats, boys dancing,

Healers giving advice on how to prolong your virility, and many beggars covered in colorful rags, their hands outstretched, very interested and astonished, Melina wished she could slowly observe the square, but determined Bing moved between the crowd moved as quickly as they

Could without looking to the side, they crossed the street, they came to a ruined wall, they went through an opening and entered an unkempt garden, it was starting to get dark and the first stars appeared in the sky after walking through the trees among the woods. flowers and bushes they arrived at

A semester building that looked like a small temple with columns at the front where are we Melina asked in a low voice for now safe was the answer I’m exhausted you must be too there were two steps at the entrance to the building Bing sat down- in the second and leaned against

One of the columns very tired Melina confirmed my whole body hurts that this place is a sacred garden and this building is a tomb but relax the occupant died hundreds of years ago and only believers believe that he walks around the surroundings At night, Bing replied, smiling, we’re going to stay

Here, Melina asked, feeling a chill, she sat down next to Bing, she got rid of the Veil, she put it in one of the pockets of her tunic, And she took the opportunity to take out the small powder case and powder her nose,

I can’t believe you I brought makeup items Bing observed, do you think a woman travels without a purse Melina asked, I tied the strap of mine to the belt of her dress, Bing laughed and the sound was

Very comforting for her and now I want you to tell me what we are going to do Melina, you added me This is probably after making me spend the whole day on the bus in complete silence eating those disgusting things Bing looked at the trees surrounded by shadows I hope they come to

Meet us later That is if they are not afraid and If they are we will have to act alone You Do you have a plan in mind, tell me the truth, Melina demanded, we have been through so much danger together, you have the right

To know, please trust me, ignoring the note of desperation in her voice, Bing Man remained silent. Dark and distant for Melina, it was as if There was a wall between them, he doesn’t trust women, he said to himself, feeling a pang in his chest, such an anxiety to prove that he was a

Trustworthy person, there’s nothing to say, Bing responded finally, have you already realized that in this Mission in which We are involved, communication It’s very difficult because they must be confidential I’ll wait for

Them to look for us What will happen at the hotel in Fez when they discover that we disappeared without paying the bill, leaving the hotel occupied with our luggage, don’t worry, the hotel will be notified that the

Cutter couple had to leave for America because of the death of Mr. Cutter’s father, the baggage for all effects was sent to the airport and the Peugeot, mulé ibim’s men will tell you that the car was

Abandoned on the dirt road, the abandoned car will reveal little, mulé Ibraim, the license plate will have been changed and in the city a well-known and respected man will tell repeatedly times you had to abandon the vehicle and walk home due to lack of gas you think about everything no

Praise Bing asked it’s bad luck and the passports are in my pocket the ink has disappeared and on paper you are no longer my wife for a bit Melina didn’t respond that this was the only thing she wanted to remain forever she had no more doubt that her love for Bing

Was real, lasting and true . When she declared to Bing that she still loved him, she felt at that moment a great desire to protect him from that unjust and cruel evil woman who would only bring her unhappiness. Bing’s voice interrupted her thoughts, she’s hungry, I can’t even hear about Arabic food,

Melina replied, feeling nuse remembering the sweet camel meat I can go get some fruit I suggested and leave here alone it’s safer to stay here if you hear any noise hide in the tomb no one will enter it except one of our friends I’m afraid those bandits won’t

Respect not even a cemetery Melina pointed out that whatever has to happen will happen you must have already noticed that in Muslim countries everything is left in the hands of Allah I just wanted to know

If in this mission there is anything against us or in our favor he is with us Bing said I never doubted That’s been true since the moment I decided to look for the boy and it’s great to have a

Brave girl like you Melina Sir Frederick would be very proud of his daughter if he was still touched by the kind words spoken in a sincere tone Melina had to fight back the tears that formed

In her eyes before she could say anything Bing walked away, getting lost in the shadows, she found herself alone, scared, she got up and entered the tomb, the smell inside was so unpleasant that she went back to the step and sat down again. so hot because she wanted to take off her

Tunic but she knew it would be dangerous after having spent more than 24 hours without sleeping except for naps on the bus she felt her eyelids closing she went down to the first step she placed her arms folded on the second step and placed her

Arms on them. head and didn’t remember anything else she was asleep and as if she was dreaming she felt someone lifting her and carrying her in their arms she didn’t open her eyes nor was she afraid she knew instinctively that Bing was taking her somewhere safe being in those

Strong arms was comforting shortly after she felt like she was lying somewhere softer than the stone of the steps but it wasn’t a bed she wanted to scream asking Bing not to leave her but she was Exhausted incapable of any effort she felt at that moment the

Pressure of his lips on hers it was a soft and sweet kiss but it awakened in her the same flame, the same ecstasy she experienced when she was kissed for the first time, she wanted to continue kissing him passionately and vehemently but his lips left hers and then

She was vaguely aware of a body lying close to her. of hers and an arm placed over her, she turned and snuggled against Bing’s body, feeling safe and protected, a rooster crowing Triumphant with all the strength and power of her tiny lungs, she woke up, Melina opened her eyes and saw the

Branches flowers on a tree between them birds chirped greeting the morning turning his head he noticed Bing on his side still asleep he looked at him for a moment only then noticing how sensitive and vulnerable young he was once he wasn’t on the defensive there was something youthful about cheekbones and

The sharp curve of her chin so as not to wake him she remained motionless reflecting among all the men in the world she would have to fall in love precisely with one who loved another woman a man who considered her just an instrument for which he intended reach an end as

If he sensed that he was the object of that examination Bing opened his eyes suddenly Alert Melina exclaimed we We should have gotten up earlier what time is it before answering Bing stood up and looked at the

Sun whose rays filtered through the branches of the Trees turning the sandy ground around them into a Golden carpet at about 6 o’clock I imagine Melina also got up and noticed that they had slept on a pile of grass, she remembered that in Morocco the natives cut grass like that

To feed the animals, after it was cut the huge bundles were transported on donkeys from a distance. She saw the tomb where they had been the night before and beyond the Wall that surrounded the Garden she saw in amazement the Snow-covered Peaks of the majes. Atlas mountains shining in the sun

Those are the most fascinating mountains in the world Bing sat following the direction of her eyes I wanted to see them so much I finally fulfilled this wish said Melina softly knowing that there

Was no time for both of them to admire nature Bing warned her there is a source to our right where you can wash but there is water unsuitable for drinking then we will go meet our friends and eat

Something in the ancient fountain just a trickle of water running from a dolphin carved in marble was enough for Melina to wash her face and hands and her feet put on the veil again and returned to Bing, she stopped at a certain distance, hesitant when she saw that he was talking to a

Young man wearing a white tunic with grayish stripes, as soon as he saw her Bing called her Melina Come and meet Ahmed, he didn’t come to meet us last night because his father thought it would be bad luck to enter the

Sacred Garden after dark Armed smiled at Melina revealing white and shiny teeth my father is a superstitious old man and I respect his beliefs he said in an apologetic tone speaking perfectly in English I don’t believe it that the dead come out of their graves, it’s enough that you came

Today, said Bing cordially, there is good news, none of us can even imagine where it could be, who are you looking for, all those who serve Muler Ibraim are paid very well not to speak and are terrified of betrayal. replied the boy, someone must know, it’s unbelievable that his people have lost

The cunning of the serpent or that in the market people don’t know everything that happens, Bing replied Armed, he looked over his shoulder before saying, there are people to whom it is dangerous to ask questions, certainly

Someone saw the luxurious black car arriving with the boy many saw it Without a doubt Sirmed shook his shoulders but at least for now no one had the courage to be curious enough to ask questions they already know if Muler ibim arrived in the city Bing insisted he didn’t arrive Of that I’m

Sure the man is important and very generous towards the beggars and dancers everyone would talk about him if he had arrived that means we will have to wait for him to come Marrakech Bing murmured as if talking to himself then he will go to the place where the boy is here in

Marrakech There are many places where Muler Ibraim can stay at the moment he is building a huge and luxurious villa sometimes he stays at friends’ houses or in the best hotel mul ibim will come Mar There is no doubt well you and our informants should stay tuned Bing He ordered perfectly,

Sir, my father, he regrets not being able to do more for you, we also can’t welcome him into our house so as not to arouse suspicion, understand, understand, without another word, arm saluted and immediately gave him Bing followed him with a look, his lips pursed and an

Expression of disappointment what will we do Melina asked God only knows these friends are cowardly and fearful but I don’t blame them mbim is as powerful as a king and Cruel I know the boy is here Casa Blanca is a city too new and French for mulé ibim exercise the power he exercises

In Marrakech Bing spoke with conviction we have to act there is no doubt but now I’m going to get something to eat wait for me here I’ll be back soon hurry up I’m hungry and very thirsty

Of course I won’t take long if someone shows up Extend your hand like If she was a beggar, Bing looked at her and was enchanted by her colored eyes. It was the first time he had noticed that they were so intensely blue . Allah, but with a few long strides Bing disappeared

Among the bushes Melina sat down on the grass she had slept on and prayed for for a long time she asked God to protect Bing and make him love her at least a little Chapter 10 sitting in front of the dressing mirror Lil Schuster examined her face carefully the

New cream she had been using, despite being very expensive, it was not giving the results promised in the leaflet The manufacturer assured that the wrinkles would disappear in two weeks and that in a month a woman ‘s skin would return to its youthful appearance.

From the mouth, despite everything lth Schuster was impressive with her beauty, she stood, convinced that she was now more charming than she had been years ago, when Bing, 2 millionaires found her in Irresistible, in fact she had been considered a beauty by everyone who

Knew her, but it was in those three men she had been interested in Amara Bing but when it came to marriage she accepted the proposal of one of the old millionaires, she opened her silk negligee and admired her beautifully modeled body. She then remembered the ardent nights of love

Spent with Bing in New York together they had lived moments of intense Passion and Ecstasy they met in Central Park after leaving the office where he worked as a stenographer to the point of letting Bing know the answer he wanted money he loved the shine of ruby ​​Diamonds

And Emeralds he aspired to have luxurious dresses and very expensive furs he had achieved all of this while Bing thought the love they felt for each other was enough, she said she wanted a lot more, but she hated her job as a stenographer, a model for a haute couture house,

Not that she liked the profession, she hated it too, but she thought that by shining on the store’s catwalk she would have a chance of meeting rich men and surrounding herself with luxury, she had met Carl

Fulton when she paraded in front of him one afternoon when she went to buy a dress for her granddaughter, railways and shipyards, Lille, flirting with him during the parade, Carl had kept the dress and initially won over model Lilith hesitated in accepting the old man’s marriage proposal, but the

Temptation to become a Millionaire was great, even if it cost her a lot emotionally. A few nights later, waiting for Bing in the small apartment that she rented, paying a good part of her meager salary, lth she was still indecisive, but looking, to the

Cubicle he called his room, to the stained wallpaper and hanging in the corner, to the worn carpet, the horrible curtains, and to the disgusting bathroom door, he closed his eyes and imagined himself in the dazzling Fulton mansion filled with works of art and surrounded by flower gardens

When Bing arrived happily in love bringing her a bouquet of carnations and kissed her she had forgotten everything they loved each other madly and the marriage with the millionaire seemed unimportant hours later Lilith got up they lit the cigarette and had looked around again at the Carnations that

She had placed in a vase, they seemed so modest to her and she knew that Bing had run out of lunch to buy them What an unnecessary sacrifice to then remember the Orchids that Carl Fulton had given her

The night before she had had to hiding them in a closet to avoid Bing’s questions when he saw them lth she was still deep in her thoughts when Bing woke up and asked her to go out to dinner tonight, no, she didn’t answer, I have an appointment, an appointment, Bing’s questioning,

Still drowsy, does it have anything to do with your job isn’t exactly you know I’m not going to let you go out with someone if that’s what you intend to do Bing warned her, sitting on the bed lth had crushed

The cigarette with deliberate slowness I’m not asking you for permission to go out you know you don’t have money to buy me dinner and I’m hungry Bing looked at her confused what are you saying of course I have money for our dinner as long as it’s not at w dorf Astoria remember we

Had already agreed to go out tonight enough we have to face the facts lth had spoken very loudly because she was nervous Bing had jumped to his feet what’s happening I’m going with Carl fon to Bing

It was as if he had been punched in the stomach the millionaire he muttered I didn’t know you knew him I met him a long time ago a week and he asked her to marry him Does that mean we broke up not the

The bitterness in his voice hurts and Lil protests we can continue to see each other nothing will change I will never be able to love another man other than you but I want to change my life you don’t understand I hate this

Apartment I hate having to work I hate living without money having to walk without power around except taking a taxi I can’t stand living like this anymore Bing turned his back on him and went to the window nervously

Lilith continued with her speech Carl is an old man and just wants someone to keep him company, go out with him and welcome his friends to the mansion, try to understand liar Bing will interrupt you

Know that Carl Fulton is a libertine he has had three wives and you will be the fourth he may be a gaga old man but he likes young and beautiful women Because like every old fool he thinks they give him back his

Youth he is wrong Bing I will continue Being yours, we can goblet How dare you suggest that I be your gigolo, he yells, I will never accept living at the expense of a rich woman who didn’t have the courage to

Marry me and decided to prostitute herself, sold herself to the highest bidder, I loved her lth God knows how I loved it, without giving her time to respond, Bing had left the apartment, slamming the door, he’ll be back lth,

She’d said to herself, deciding to call in the morning, at that moment it was impossible to do anything, within 15 minutes a car would come to pick her up, she’d take a quick shower and she had dressed in the most beautiful

Evening attire from Carl Fulton’s present wardrobe, she could not keep the groom waiting any longer than necessary. Lilith Schuster returned from the past and looked at her own image reflected in the mirror, never seen again except the night before at mulé ibim party how he could

Disappear from her life in the first few days after the breakup she hadn’t worried about his absence she had left the apartment certain that after her anger had passed and recovering from the Shock Bing would come back crawling at her feet to apologize to her certain that this would happen Start buying

The gifts he would offer her a bill holder with his gold letters and Cartier cufflinks also in gold the money Carl gave her for the dresses was enough to buy a trousseau Lil had come to imagine that In a short time, if she set aside just a small portion of her allowance,

She could buy Bing a car without arousing her husband’s suspicions, but Bing hadn’t shown up after their honeymoon trip on Carl’s luxurious yacht, almost as big as a ship, Lilith committed herself to discovering bingle’s whereabouts Ward only now understood that his search had

Been fruitless because his surname had changed to Cutter how ironic to find him again very rich and married to the insignificant Melina this was not a bad joke of fate but what did it

Matter? it would be very easy for him to get a divorce the sudden noise coming from the garden of the mamunia hotel where lth was staying startled her. She closed her negligee, tied her waistband and

Walked away from the mirror, suddenly she saw a man wearing Arabic clothes on the wide balcony of her luxurious Swiss was about to scream but the man asked her Be quiet it’s me Bing there was a note of Triumph in

Lilith’s voice Oh Bing I was thinking about you and now I see you in front of me but why are you dressed that way in response Bing crossed the room and locked the door with the key because so

Careful no one will enter the room I dismissed the Maid I intended to go to bed early I’m tired from the long journey I know that Bing you’re here with me it’s unbelievable yesterday at the hotel Jasmim

They informed me that you and your wife had left It’s true why didn’t you leave me a note we had to leave urgently you certainly didn’t have to flee the hotel because you couldn’t pay the bill

Since you are a millionaire there are other reasons for a guest to leave a hotel in a hurry Bing replied listen I need your help my help she was surprised this is wonderful but

What can I do for you you know I will do everything in my power to help you I really know Don’t look at me like that asked Lilith slightly embarrassed for me you are the same Bing always the man I

Loved and still love the man I’ve been looking for all these years I just don’t understand why he’s wearing these clothes he’s working in the secret service I remember you saying that a friend had offered him a job like that full of exciting adventures remember that you have a good

Memory Bing observed sarcastically yes you said that love was also an adventure does that mean that after we separated you accepted the job as a secret agent it was for that reason that I couldn’t find him more or less I imagine that you traveled to different parts of the world and

I searched New York Chicago and even London in the hope of finding him I must have known that I would never return to you I must have thought that you loved me to my amazement lth Bing laughed loudly,

You are incorrigible, I imagined you had grown up in these years, but I see that you are still the same, experience didn’t teach you anything, at least about men, you learned nothing,

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I loved him so much and you abandoned me during these years I suffered much more than you can imagine lilyth vented but lived in great luxury and comfort my dear you are being

Cruel Bing a I admit I made a mistake I thought Carl Fulton just wanted a woman to keep him company But you were right he was a perverted and brutal old man lilyth gave a little hiccup even now 3 years after his death I have nightmares and wake up screaming Bing made a

Gesture indicating the jewelry box on the desk the very expensive perfumes the silver fox stole on an armchair and observed calmly if you think about what you gained from this marriage you will think it was worth it please let’s not talk about these things Lilith pleaded we must

Forget them because they belong to the past we have the future in front of us believe that Bing gave a skeptical half smile I believe and I know you pretend to have forgotten me you miss me as much as

I miss you what that girl you married can offer you if it was money that separated us now you are rich too and everything becomes so simple you don’t understand I’m afraid I have Exaggerated when talking about a millionaire inheritance, that godfather and the oil wells never existed

Is saying that you are not rich You have enough to live comfortably, my father left me a wealth but nothing that compares to his millions L Bing declared money doesn’t matter I have more than what is necessary for both of us to live in luxury he hurried to say my dear I don’t

Want your money get it into your head that what happened years ago is over forever then you don’t love me I don’t love you anymore I can’t believe you left me out of pride, you didn’t understand that poverty

Was killing me but now it’s different we can start over and we will be very happy Lilith There are many men in the world who would be happy if you told them something similar, believe me no other man

Interests me I want you I love him always I loved him lth protested tired of that argument Bing asked for a cigarette lth presented him with the Onyx cigarette case studded with diamonds and rubies he took

A cigarette, lit it and started pacing the room from one side to the other at first Lilith followed- With one look then she went to sit in the long room that was near the window, she was seductive wearing

Just that negligee, raising her hand, she gestured to Bing, sit next to me, I need to tell you what I came here to do, I already said, do you want me to? I help you that’s right I saw when you arrived tonight

With Muler Ibraim Bing started oh yes an attractive and very kind man offered to bring me to Marrakech in his big luxurious Mercedes I thought it would be much more comfortable than traveling with Ambrose Lilith explained selfishly as always you insisted on the luxury of comfort and left poor

Ambrose behind Bing accused stop it Lilith got angry instead of criticizing me tell me how I can help you then we will continue talking about ourselves for a moment Bing remained silent as if he was choosing his words carefully, he said Finally, you have already realized that

I am working on a special mission and you can help me by revealing everything you know about mulé Ibraim start by telling me what he told you during the trip I need to find someone

He hid here in Marrakech mulé Ibraim saw us dancing together at the party he threw in the village and asked me questions about you but he didn’t mention anything about having hidden someone of course he wouldn’t talk about it but think about everything that happened during the trip I know that your

Memory is excellent and you are always attentive to the details who mulé ibim talked to where you stopped for lunch did you notice something different sometimes something apparently without importance could be a good clue please make an effort someone’s life is in danger

Bing asked vehemently what Muler Ibraim could have with this it is not possible that he would be capable of killing someone lilyth hesitated then smiled and turned back yes I believe that he can kill

There is something brutal about him sometimes that makes a man very interesting come on Lilith think the matter is very serious I wanted to make him jealous Bing Lilith complained to the crowd but you don’t want

To take part in this game I can’t waste time with jokes Bing got angry When you arrived with mulé Ibraim I was in front of the hotel in the middle of the crowd at that time I thought

You were the only person who could help me you know I have always valued my intuition because well that same intuition is telling me that you will tell me what I need to know so Lilith think if you ever loved me do this for me Lilith looked at him in silence then asked

Where Melina is what she knows about this mission of yours she knows enough to be able to help me I doubt that incompetent girl can do anything you don’t love her Bing and I doubt they are both

Married lth gave Bing a sly look you lied about your godfather the Oil Wells and you may have lied about being married to Melina let’s not talk about that Time is passing, said Bing desperately, I have so many things to do, concentrate lth, well, I’m going to tell you what

I know, on condition that you come back to me, it was Bing’s turn to look at her firmly, are you serious, you know, yes, you you think the price is high I’m sure I have the information you want

How can I know you’re not bluffing This is a risk you have to take accept the condition Bing capitulated tell me what you heard and I’ll get back to you This is If I’m still alive I swear

I swear Chapter 11 It had been hours since Beng had left her and Melina couldn’t contain herself with apprehension trying to imagine what could have happened to her. They had spent part of the day together in the

Sacred Garden and in the afternoon Bing had decided to walk through the city in the hope of discovering something about mulé Ibraim as soon as she found herself alone Melina rested under the trees and fell asleep after accepting the job offered by Senora Schuster, she had never imagined that she would live

That crazy Adventure, the best part was that she also found love Every hour who was passing by, she felt more in love with Bing, she found his company very pleasant, she longed to touch him and when she saw him coming

She wanted to run into his arms, but she controlled herself, so as not to show her feelings, it got dark and when the moon appeared in the sky, Melina went to the fountain took off her tunic and dress and

Washed herself, she felt renewed, after getting rid of the dust and sweat from her body, she went back under the trees and sat on the grass pile waiting for Bing, a noise alarmed her, she thought someone was there approached

But realized that it was just an animal walking in the middle of the woods and in the bushes next to her was a paper bag with food that Bing had bought in the morning she ate some fruit and

Drank mineral water Bing couldn’t leave her mind where he was My God, how I love him, he never tired of repeating, if it was so easy to say that he loved him, it was very difficult to convince himself that his love

Was not reciprocated and that he still wanted Lilith Schuster Bing had every reason to do so because Mrs. Schuster was beautiful, sophisticated and charming Melina reflected with a pang of jealousy however she knew very well the character of that woman Lily Schuster will make Bing unhappy

Because she is ambitious and false she continued to reflect, the hours passed and nothing about Bing appearing crossed Melina’s mind that he might have been arrested by mulé Ibraim’s men, what would become of her

If he didn’t return, who knows, she would have to look for the British CSO first thing in the morning, but what would he say, who would believe his fantastic story, Bing He worked for himself and at the moment he was

Helping a friend whose name she did not know and who also knew nothing about the kidnapped boy, she stood up, went to the collapsed part of the wall and looked at the street, saw nothing extraordinary and heard only the distant sounds coming from the market gema elna returned disconsolately to the refuge under

The trees and tried to doze off but her mind was more active than ever I’m going to count to 50 and Bing will appear, she thought and started counting nothing I’m going to count to 100 I’m going to count to 500 in fact Bing

Appeared when Melina reached number 430 but she waited for a moment to confirm that it was really him and not a stranger as soon as he recognized him he ran to meet him exclaiming bing bing I thought something had happened and you would never come back but you are here thank God

Without answering Bing took her in his arms and hugged her. close to her chest with strength and passion and his lips sought hers he kissed her greedily with a greed and urgency that she had never dreamed he

Would be able to demonstrate after the moment of surprise Melina gave herself over to the delight of that contact she felt her whole body burning with desire and responded to the kisses with the same impetuosity and rapture as Bing, the whole world seemed to revolve around them, nothing else mattered except

That glorious moment in which they kissed and the heart of each of them beat in time with what they felt for each other it could only be love suddenly Bing separated from Melina he pushed her And she almost fell You drive a man crazy he said with a strangled voice turning his back

To her Bing I don’t understand there is no time for conversations he interrupted come with me and listen to my plan he started walking quickly and Melina followed him, still in the clouds, marveling at her lips burning from the kiss with the effort she remembered the boy’s

State of Bing’s mission and the danger they were in Melina Bing called her, already under the trees, sitting on the Grass, I’m going She responded, returning to Earth, aware that she had to help

Bing, she came close to him and knelt down beside him, I know where the boy is, they took him to an old Palace known as pigeon house in the past belonged to an important family but currently

Only an old man with servants and security guards lives there mulé Ibraim is also in that old Palace no he is too intelligent to expose himself in this way he is staying at the Mônia hotel in the largest

And most luxurious sí where he usually receives friends and politicians, it’s a perfect place for their activities, whoever is with the boy, mulé guards Ibraim and the old owner of the Palace, all armed, I’ve already discussed my

Plan with Ahmed and his father. Can I know what that plan is, yes, I’ll explain it. but I can tell you that it is dangerous after listening to it you will decide whether or not you want to help me I can give you the answer now wait

Bing raised his hand listen first to what I have to say the old Palace is in the native neighborhood it is a huge building with a single entrance that leads onto a narrow street there is a passage that leads to a courtyard

On the right side of this courtyard are the kitchen and the service area and in this part there is the boy Ahamed and I, we have already observed the palace from the outside the entrance gate remains locked and with two

Guards only servants and those who deliver food or supplies enter the building, it seems impossible to enter the building Melina gave her opinion What do you intend to do Armed meets the baker hired to deliver fresh bread to the palace every morning his wife accompanies him taking live chickens

Or whatever the cook orders Do you think the two of us can go to the palace in place of the Baker and his wife this is the plan and the Baker has agreed to help us he needs money because the

Eldest daughter is scheduled to get married if she lives just an old man in the palace Why are there so many guards because he is very rich and surrounding himself with security guards he feels more important these smaller shakes and Arab princes usually have their own army Bing explained you can already

Have an idea of ​​how risky this mission is I will go with you even at the risk of my life Melina decided Thank you dear Bing thanked you, relieved and moved touching Melina’s arm I knew you wouldn’t abandon me feeling the contact of his hand and hearing him call her dear

Was the best for Melina of thanks Bing continued to talk about the plan I regret involving her in this But I promise to say everything in my power to prevent any harm from happening to him Armed will come and

Meet us at 5 am we have only a few hours ahead of us so we must sleep we will need to be rested ready with an active intelligence and an alert mind If we want to get out of this

Mission alive, having finished speaking he lay down on the Grass and threw his tunic over his body Melina did the same but took a while to fall asleep, she was very happy Lando, how Bing had kissed her, that was a

Fiery and passionate kiss, yes, Bing loved her, he was sure of this and her heart sang with joy It seemed as if she had just fallen asleep when she felt Bing’s hand on her shoulder and heard

Ahmed whispering, he already arrived, sitting down quickly Melina saw the first rays of the sun Armed crossing the garden in the company of a younger man old man who she deduced to be the boy’s father after the respectful greetings they sat on the grass and Ahmed untied a bundle containing the clothes

Needed for Bing to disguise himself as a baker and a pair of glasses skillfully the boy helped Bing get dressed he did some makeup on him when he was done, he exclaimed that sedig has a perfect figure, now

He must be limping because sedg was hit by a mule months ago and so far he hasn’t recovered. It’s true, I noticed that he was limping, Bing agreed, he then did a demonstration, he was limping with a

Side to side and received approval from Armed and his father now let’s take care of sedg’s wife suggested Bing I haven’t seen her what she looks like her appearance doesn’t matter much because she will use the veil Black Besides, Muslims don’t usually face a woman he said Armed’s father we brought the

Eye cream Melina sat and Bing On His Knees carefully traced the contours of her eyes with a thin camel hair brush, making them even bigger, she must keep her eyes down ahmed recommended to Melina, sedg’s wife has dark eyes, it’s best to darken the visible part

Of her face Bing suggested Armed handed her a box of dark powder and shortly after Melina had a very dark face, she’s very good, Bing said, I don’t believe the guards are disrespectful enough to

Stare at her if they are The old generation will have the greatest respect for a lady, but the same cannot be said of the young. They are indiscreet and daring. Ahmed’s father complained. It’s because we young people want female liberation. We think women should remove the veil from their faces. Armed. He said

Angrily, his father mumbled that he’s telling me, don’t listen to him, Soror, there are demons inside him, my father thinks that modernity and progress are the work of the devil, he mocked Ahmed, showing disinterest in those differences between father and son, Bing thanked him for everything he did. they had

Done and asked ahmed to take them to the baker’s shop sedg I will go ahead you will follow me we will not talk to give the impression that we don’t even know each other recommended Armed we will arrive at a

Small square where there will be few people the bakery is on the corner the car will be waiting of you at the agreed place, the boy’s father assured him that he would accompany them there without waiting for anything else Bing and Melina

Followed Ahmed, leaving the safety of the Sacred Garden for the danger of the streets, it was still very early but in the morning there was already movement, sweepers were cleaning the streets and water carriers in brightly colored hats wandered among the merchandise stalls offering vendors

Water from the Atlas Mountains packed in bags made from goat leather. The stalls were already open and the smell of frying mixed with mint tea filled the air. of goats were led through the streets towards the Outskirts of the city where the animals could graze the noise

Of the Horses’ hooves combined with the car horns it was already that irritating hour, walking in a hurry Melina could barely take a look at it all, she had to follow Bing who He walked quickly even though he was limping, apparently he had already taken on the personality of the Sedg Baker

For a moment Melina thought it would be great if they weren’t playing a role if Bing was really a baker and she, his wife, imagined living happily in her hometown working in the bakery, delivering bread to customers and lovingly taking care of her children, the

Daydream lasted only a few seconds, she admitted that this kind of life could be for her, but it wasn’t for Bing he belonged to the world of Adventure of the danger of cunning and quickness of reasoning a world with its own principles for which men fought, killed and were ready to

Die They arrived at the small square mentioned by ahmed and Melina noticed that the boy had disappeared she saw the bakery on a corner She and Bing entered through the back of the building and ahmed already the Agu Ava in

A cramped and dark room on the table was a tray with stacked pita bread covered with a very clean white cloth on the floor there was a rustic bamboo basket with six live chickens Bing turned to Melina in dismay and now you certainly won’t be able to balance the basket on your head

. If you show your arm you will have to wear a gold bracelet as befits a married woman for 10 chillings I will buy a beautiful bracelet that will make you jealous, a princess assured Armed, no, please

Don’t go back to the market square, the Baker’s wife must have one of those bracelets Go to her and buy one of them Bing opened his wallet and gave him some Moroccan banknotes Armed the boy disappeared and came back

Shortly after, satisfied, he was delighted with the money, he could buy two rings more beautiful than this one Bing hurried to put on the jewelry of Gold on Melina’s wrist It’s a good thing you’re little he liked most European women Even shaking hands he can’t

Put one of those rings on his wrist So far everything is working out Melina said well listen to me carefully as soon as we enter the courtyard we will go directly to the kitchen and deliver the

Bread and chickens you take the sixth empty one and then we will go to the first floor while I take care of the guard who should be at the door of the boy’s room you go in and tell the boy in French

That you will take him to his mother, make him hide in the basket that was made just for this purpose when you leave I will carry the basket you take the empty tray and we leave the Palace and the servants

We won’t have any problems with them don’t worry they didn’t bother us Now tell me if you understand, you know what to do, I know, of course Melina sighed oh, be prepared for some improvisation as

It might be necessary to change the plan at the last moment and now we can go Bing lifted the basket with the chickens and placed it on Melina’s head, she adjusted it. He held it with one hand and thought it

Wasn’t heavy and would be able to carry it a long distance Bing also already had the tray of bread on his head and Armed opened the door at the first corner turn left And at the end of the street turn left on the

Right the boy directed Bing and walked away as quickly as he could without looking back what a coward Melina thought deep down she understood that those poor people had a lot to lose by getting involved in politics it was always better to remain neutral during the journey Melina had no difficulty

Carrying the basket with the chickens, even though the birds occasionally moved, the street they entered after turning right was wide and busy. Melina kept her eyes down and could only see Bing’s white tunic in front of her. limping, he walked

Quickly, shortly after they both arrived at the entrance to Arco of the old Palace, the two guards barely looked at them, nor did they ask any questions, one of them was smoking and the other was holding a dagger

In the courtyard, there was just a dog lying down basking in the morning sun and a goat tied to a post following Bing Melina could not help but reflect with a shudder that the most

Dangerous hour had come. They entered the kitchen where there were half a dozen servants busy with their tasks Bing left the tray on a table and hurried to taking the chickens out of the basket and handing them to the

Old cook who kindly greeted them in Arabic as soon as he picked up the birds the cook examined them, pressed the breast and complained that they were too thin patiently Bing handed the

Empty basket to Melina took something out of his pocket and presented it to the old man saying by the hand of Fátima, everyone in the kitchen turned to look at the jewel that took refuge in Bing’s hand by the hand of

Fátima Bing repeated, be quiet, you didn’t see or hear anything, the six remained silent, looking and nodding their head Bing opened a door and entered a corridor Melina followed him everything was silent they went up a narrow staircase to the first floor and

When they reached the other corridor they stood still listening attentively, shortly after they heard a boy screaming and crying he spoke in French Enough, don’t hit me I beg you, leave me alone with two

Long steps Bing arrived at the door where the screams were coming from and opened it a man was on his back with his arm raised holding a whip without giving time to the man to turn around Bing jumped on

Him covered his mouth with his hand then twisted his neck until it broke again Melina saw Bing’s face transform as if it were that of the devil himself she ran towards the boy who was leaning against the wall crying, it’s okay, stop crying, Melina said to him kindly in

French, I’m going to take him to his mommy, to mommy, the boy repeated with a sudden sparkle in his eyes, flooded with tears Now yes, immediately, but you must get into this basket and stay very still. so we can leave this place only a child who had known danger and mistreatment could

Understand what was expected of him in an instant he settled himself in the basket Melina covered it with the lid and in seconds Bing picked it up and placed it over their shoulder they quickly went down to the kitchen but

They found no one there the servants had disappeared Melina picked up the empty tray and placed it on her head Bing did the same with the basket now let’s leave slowly as naturally as possible he recommended Melina took a breath deep and went out into the sunny courtyard, everything was calm,

The dog was still lying down, the goat screamed a few times and they arrived at the gate, the guard with the dagger said something that sounded like a joke, causing Bing to laugh and after a few seconds, Melina looked like For an eternity they found themselves walking down the street they turned left

They entered another street where there was an open car parked Bing put the basket on the back seat of the car he opened the door for Melina got behind the wheel and started it seemed like there was no one

Around Even so, Melina kept an eye out to see if they were not being followed. Bing drove the car slowly, but when he arrived at the mna, he did not take his hand off the horn, as the natives did, demanding that

Other cars move faster as they moved away from the market square and left it for behind the native neighborhood the streets became wider less crowded and the houses were beautiful we did it Melina exclaimed oh Bing I can’t believe we were so successful the mission isn’t

Finished yet Bing corrected her Take the boy out of the basket and col sitting between us do this with the car moving I can’t stop, much to Melina’s astonishment. He stepped on the accelerator and the car gained great speed Chapter 12 the boy leaned against Melina, she put her arm around him

And spoke softly to him in French, soon you’ll be with your mom and dad those men were bad and beat me the boy said they said they were going to kill me tomorrow did you hear that Melina addressed Bing in English tomorrow we narrowly saved him I already knew Bing responded briefly

Paying attention to the Road and the speed of the car Melina turned to the boy you were very brave you did everything I asked of you quickly without hesitation I cried because they hit me But I knew that

My father was going to send the soldiers to free me the boy looked at Melina then to Bing and asked disappointed you are not soldiers are you not that’s why your rescue was much more exciting Melina replied in a Consoling tone now tell us what your name is

Mohamed But mom calls me suque for us you will also be suque and not now Do you want to get some sleep? The trip will be long and you should arrive home rested, you are very obedient. Suki leaned closer

To Melina and closed her eyes, looking at her dark head. Melina imagined what that fragile child could have suffered at the hands of this girl’s kidnappers. She hadn’t been shocked to see Bing kill the brute who whips Ava the boy, if they hadn’t released Suk tomorrow

It would be too late, nothing could be more absurd and horrible than sacrificing an innocent child for the sake of political interests, looking at Bing’s profile, she felt his heart fill with tenderness and admiration, how brave and admirable he had been during this mission, no one else

Would have achieved so much success without the support of the government. Despite the car developing great speed, the road that stretched out in front of them, disappearing into the distance, seemed endless as they

If they were traveling, there was a danger as soon as the body of the guard was discovered, mulé ibim would be warned and the Mercedes was much faster than the car that Bing was driving, fortunately the

Traffic at the station was not heavy and the speed of the car was being maintained at a certain level. At this point, they were descending into a valley when they saw a man in the middle of the road in a white robe waving his

Arms vigorously, place the boy lying in the back of the car and cover him Bing ordered, taking the revolver from his waist Melina obeyed promptly and asked softly for suuk to keep quiet, what ‘s happening he asked sleepily We don’t know yet but you should stay hidden for

A minute or two in silence and without moving Melina whispered to him as soon as the car got very close to the man in white he jumped to the side of the road and shouted for Fátima’s hand

. Bing stepped firmly on the brake and the car stopped suddenly, almost throwing Melina against the windshield without leaving the revolver behind. Bing looked back and saw the man running to catch up with Fátima’s hand. He repeated I I

Was Waiting for you I’m Loyal to the King Sir How do you know who we are Village There are more or less 10 of them so What is the name of the Village el geb S can I follow another road Bing asked There is only one

Trail for camels and carts s If you allow me to guide you I can go up Bing ordered interrupting the man show me where I should turn around without delay ahmed’s cousin sat in the backseat of the

Car Bing turned to Melina and spoke to her in English we are traveling 1 hour if Muler ibim left a rack 15 minutes we have 3 hours advantage that will be enough, who knows, the trail

Was terrible and the car had to go slowly after a 3 km detour that lasted about 20 minutes they returned to the paved highway a sign indicated that Casablanca was 150 km away Armed’s cousin said goodbye and left from the car suk returned to Melina’s side and fell asleep then once

On the road Bing demanded the car as much as possible, apprehensive Melina remained alert, looking back, fearing that at any moment she would see a big mercy coming out, chasing them, but all she saw were the cars they had overtaken, the landscape was monotonous, sometimes there was desert on

Both sides of the road, sometimes farms or villages and Bing drove like a madman, disregarding all traffic laws. Finally they saw Casablanca, Melina wanted to scream with joy to celebrate freedom of the boy, but Binga’s Severa expression, his pursed lips

Told her that something could still happen and Victory would be snatched from him at the last moment, surprise, she saw Bing passing straight through Casa Blanca without entering the city and heading towards the airport, the sound of engines started and only then noticed with relief that the

Car was being escorted by two soldiers on motorcycles wearing army uniforms as they approached the airport, the gate where Lia was prohibited entry opened immediately and the car stopped shortly after on the side of a silver plane near the plane there were countless

Soldiers and aides-de-camp a distinguished and elegant gentleman wearing a suit and tie got off the plane he passed among the soldiers and with tears in his eyes he quickly went to Bing’s meeting and greeted him and

Extended his arms to Suque daddy daddy o boy shouted and leaving Melina’s lap He ran to his father only then did Melina know that suk’s father was the minister Mohamed whose photo he had already seen in the newspapers

The minister lifted his son in his arms kissed him and unable to say a word such was his emotion took the child to her mother, the Moroccan lady, dressed in the latest Parisian fashion, was standing at the top of the plane’s stairs, she was also crying and Suk ran up the

Steps to hug her, mother and son waved to the minister and got on the plane the ladder was removed the door was locked and the aircraft began to taxi onto the runway, moved by the Happy Ending

Of that drama Melina looked at Bing leaning back in the car seat with his head back his arms hanging at his sides he looked exhausted but saw the minister walking towards him He

Got out of the car and went to meet him, if you were two minutes late, the plane would have left without my son, the minister said, still with strong emotions and with tears in his eyes, the airline agreed to delay the flight for 20 minutes. running out when you arrived but

We are not going to stay here talking Come with me someone will take care of the car after finishing speaking the minister snapped his fingers and one of the Soldiers gestured towards the limousine parked a few

Meters away indicating to the driver to drive the vehicle Until then, the three of them sat in the back seat and the limousine left for the city by two soldiers on motorcycles Bing, what can I say, asked the minister, words are too poor to express my thanks to him,

Don’t say anything Mohamed, we were just lucky this made Bing with simplicity I want to introduce you to Melina Lind, a wonderful person to whom I owe a large part of the success of this mission, his father was

Frederick Lindy S Frederick Lindy, I met him, he was a great man, bowing down, the minister shook Melina’s hand like I can thank you, Senorita Lind, for saving my son, it was Bing who saved him, said Melina modestly, my wife and I were already losing hope of seeing our

Son again when we were told that you had taken the boy from the old Palace and were heading towards Casablanca airport then we went through moments of agony when we saw that you

Weren’t arriving and the plane was about to leave we would have arrived half an hour earlier but we had to leave the road to avoid entering Vila elgb where Ibraim’s men were waiting for us luckily we were warned

In time by people Loyal to the king, if it weren’t for that we would have been ambushed Bing said, make a list of the names of those who helped him Bing, everyone will be rewarded, promised the minister, I knew

You would say that, Mohamed, thank you, if necessary, I would give everything I have to save my son The Nightmare is over and the little suc is fine yes he is the minister agreed but who knows when

Woman Ibraim will act again let’s forget woman Ibraim I want to know where he is taking us said Bing eager to change the subject to my house replied the minister tonight it would be

Advisable to stay with me tomorrow they should leave the country you are a marked man Bing and senorita lind’s life will also be in Danger the limousine stopped in front of a Moorish style house surrounded by gardens as soon as they entered the hall the amphit asked what want to do first

I’m looking forward to taking a shower and putting on decent clothes I’m going to see Bing I imagine Melina wants the same thing a French maid appeared and took Melina to a luxurious room on the first

Floor whose windows opened onto the Garden and the From afar you could see the sea, Madame’s dresses fit you perfectly, you can choose whatever you like, offered the woman, opening

The wardrobe, Melina thanked her and as soon as she found herself alone, she quickly took off her veil and her warm, sweaty and dirty clothes felt an indescribable pleasure when sinking into the hot, perfumed water of the bathtub,

She stayed in the bath for almost an hour, she felt so relaxed that she almost fell asleep, running the risk of drowning, she dried herself vigorously and when she returned to the room she found the bed

Without the The quilt prepared for her to lie down on her side was a tray with an omelet, milk and fruit, Your Excellency suggests that you eat and rest, you will have a good night’s sleep until

Dinner, which will be served at 9:30, the Maid said, Thank you, I really am exhausted. Melina admitted to me, then she lay down and fell asleep as soon as she laid her head on the pillow, she woke up to the sound

Of the Curtains being drawn back, she felt radiant because everything was fine, there was no more reason for fear and apprehension, remembering that she was going to be with Bing, it filled her. She was happy to let

The Maid give her a beautiful hairstyle and wore one of the most beautiful dresses that hung from the countless The wardrobe hangers were made of light blue chiffon embroidered with shiny pebbles that fit her perfectly and gave her an ethereal look. She went down happily, imagining that Bing would admire her

. profusion of flowers and exquisite French furniture with gold trimmings there was no one through the large glass door that opened onto a wide balcony Melina saw Bing sitting with the minister as soon as she appeared they both

Stood up I hope you found it in my humble home everything you need said the ceremonial minister taking her hand to her lips yes thank you Melina replied she turned to Bing and the sudden admiration she saw on his face caused her immense joy She sat down and accepted a glass of

Champagne that a servant wearing elaborately livery offered him from the same tray the minister helped himself to apricot juice as his religion did not allow him to drink alcoholic beverages, standing he made a toast to the health and happiness of both of them God bless them, shortly after he apologized for

Being forced to leave them But I had a meeting and having noticed the atmosphere between Bing and Melina he added with a twinkle in his eyes I’m sure you won’t feel my absence Dinner was served in a room that opened onto the Garden and like the door and the windows were open They

Could see and hear the fountain gushing out the food, the wines, the charming atmosphere and Bing’s company left Melina intoxicated with happiness after dinner was over They went to the Garden and sat on a wooden bench among roses and Mother Silvas stayed for some time just admiring the beauty

Of the place at night then Melina asked what time will we leave tomorrow your flight is at 8:30 there will be a stopover in Paris So you will take another plane to London Bing reported the news was like a

Bomb for m you won’t go with me she stammered I can’t but you heard what the minister said staying here will be very dangerous Yes I know but I have to go back to Marrakech why did Bing

Look at her and his expression was one of pain I love you Melina he declared you already know Not like that So you love me oh my dear I love you madly I love you like I never imagined I could feel

This emotion I believed that love was dangerous and protected me from ever falling in love again I was very hurt in the past and I didn’t want to get involved anymore- I loved women so I met her

At first I didn’t want to believe that a woman could be as sweet, sincere and detached as you, I didn’t know that there could be in the world a young woman so intelligent, quick to reason and courageous, capable of facing tiredness, pain and danger without complaining Bing held Melina’s hands,

Squeezed then kissed I admit that I was rude a few times continued I didn’t give you explanations and demanded that you obey my orders Without questioning we were together in desperate situations of great danger and I understood that you were wonderful that you were a woman perfect for

A man like me oh Bing you make me feel so proud Melina murmured your father wherever he is he is also proud of you B paused and spoke in another Tom you still haven’t said

How you feel about me you love me Melina very much I’ve loved him for days even though it feels like years she revealed enru becc I discovered that I loved him when I hid from the car with the spotlight and

You kissed me I kissed you because I felt like you already meant a lot to me I was hating having to force- You were taking so many risks playing with your life, I understood how magnanimous you were in

Helping someone you had never met before, for your own sake I thought about leaving her with Rasm Enem and continuing the mission alone, but I didn’t do that because I wanted to be close to the on my side I’m happy because you

Didn’t dismiss me I love you with all my heart and my soul impulsively Melina got closer to Bing wanting him to kiss her but to her surprise he ignored the gesture and turned his face away so as

Not to face her the which was Bing Is there something wrong I don’t know how to tell you during the trip to Marrakech despite the discomfort on the bus I felt happy making plans I decided that

If the mission was successful and the boy was handed over to his parents safe and sound I would declare my love for you would ask you to marry me and I would swear to do everything in my power to make you

The happiest woman in the world would then you won’t marry me that’s what I want most But that’s impossible Bing replied in anguish Melina, unable to contain herself, hugged him and he, Losing control, kissed her passionately on the lips, then on the cheeks, on the neck, in the eyes, there were

Moments of madness, delirium, rapture and at the same time of despair, then with a moan that seemed to have come from the deepest part of the body. his being Bing raised his head and released Melina from his arms and

Walked away from her, trembling with emotion and anxiety at the imminence of losing him Melina followed and asked him please Bing, explain to me what is happening I will try but it is better we talk in the hall because

The magic of this Garden is contagious They went back to the hall and Melina sat in an armchair so as not to touch her Bing stood next to the fireplace and began you know we had no idea where the boy was hidden in Marrakech, well, perhaps we would never have found him if

Someone hadn’t given me the precious information we needed. Who was this person, la senora Schuster, how was it possible to find out where mbra had hidden the boy ? when they both arrived because I was in front of the hotel mamunia mulé

Ibim he only invited Lilith to travel with him because he saw her dancing with me and wanted to question her about me she told him what she knew, thinking he was asking the questions out of mere curiosity but

How did Senora Schuster find out about the place where the boy was being held, certainly Muler brin I didn’t tell her anything about the matter, of course not, but Lilith is very observant, has an excellent

Memory and pays attention to details, when I looked for her at the hotel she told me- Tell me what happened during the trip, you didn’t tell me that you were going to see Senora Schuster Melina spoke in an accusatory tone,

Feeling sudden jealousy I didn’t even know by chance I had arrived at the hotel with mulé ibim later I went up to the balcony of the suite she occupied in hopes to get some information Any clue about

The boy’s hiding place if Muler Ibraim said nothing about the boy how did Sen. Schuster find out where he was Lilith didn’t even know about the boy’s existence and thought that Mulé Ibraim would be

Incapable of kidnapping someone but she told him me that when they arrived at the entrance to the city a ragged Arab signaled to stop the car mul ibim spoke to a man and gave him some money Lil thought

He was a beggar but heard him say dar al hamama even though he didn’t speak Arabic Lilith I knew that hamama meant dove, that was a term I used to affectionately call her Lil Bing continued yesterday when she talked about giving AL hamama I immediately understood that the boy was

In the old Palace known as the pigeon house I was desperate to free the little suque as I knew they would kill him tomorrow, the day set for the execution of the criminals luckily we saved

Suk But that’s not the end of the story, it’s not really Lilith demanded a very high price from me for the information I’ll have to go back to her Bing revealed in a strangled voice oh no you can’t do

That Melina shouted standing up she can’t you can blackmail him Bing This is crazy it’s immoral you don’t love lth Schuster I gave her my word let me talk to her Senora Schuster will have to understand that we love each other no dear Bing interrupted there is nothing you can do

I promised to come back to her and I will keep my promise we will have to say goodbye now I’m going back to Marrakech tonight don’t go we love each other we belong to each other please stay with me

She couldn’t say anything else because Bing sealed her lips with a kiss but it wasn’t a passionate kiss he spoke softly Goodbye my love my only love they were still hugging each other when a voice said senr Ward I bring you very important news Bing and Melina looked back and saw

One of the Minister’s aides What is this about Bing asked the woman Ibim is dead suffered an accident accident what was that like the Mercedes in which he was traveling was traveling at great speed and a tire burst the car overturned several times and rolled down the ground Mulibim died instantly
