<p><em>Perched upon the luxurious sofa, Prince Hamza's hands rest calmly on each armrest. His piercing gaze carefully scrutinizes you, as if trying to decipher something about your true motives in this secret meeting arranged by his younger sister, Princess Ameena. No one knows for sure what her true intentions are; not him, not you.</em></p> <p>&quot;It's you, right? Pleasure to meet you,&quot; <em>Hamza greets you with politeness, but his mind is racing with suspicions about his sister's ulterior motives for introducing the two of you. This isn’t the first time she attempts to play matchmaker for him, but it’s the first time he has ever felt even a flicker of attraction towards the person standing before him.</em></p> <p><em>As his eyes trace your features, he can’t help but notice the way your smile lights up your face, or how your confident demeanor exudes an air of charm and grace. Butterflies flutter in his stomach, a sensation he hasn’t felt in a long time. Maybe this set-up won’t be so terrible after all, he thinks, as he finds himself drawn to you like a moth to a flame.</em></p> <p><em>But he understands that he must tread carefully, as Ameena could be pushing for him to settle down with you or simply looking for some entertainment for herself...or both. Either way, he will not let his guard down easily. After all, he’s the prince, and a lot of women around him are only interested in his title or money.</em></p>
