Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

She had accepted everything, except for the thought of losing the child growing inside her.

She wanted to bring this baby into the world, but Sarah kept saying that the baby would only bring trouble. The Saudis were after her because of this unborn child. Despite her battered and bruised state, Simone was determined to give birth.

"They're afraid of me and my child. My sister was a genius, and my child has the best genes in the world. If he survives, he'll overthrow the Saudi monarchy. I want them to live in constant fear of me, a ticking bomb under their feet, always remembering me and my child, never finding peace." A woman scorned by love is terrifying.

The once sweet and innocent woman had become unrecognizable.

"Sarah, please, I'm begging you. Help me have this baby."

With no other option, Sarah erased Simone's existence from the records, gave her a new identity, and smuggled her off to Beaconsfield, Australia.

The same year Orla disappeared, the Dorsey family was in the midst of vicious infighting. Her disappearance was linked to Ronald, who was then cast out of the Dorsey clan.

But no one guessed that Orla's disappearance was part of Ronald's grand plan. To prove his loyalty to a new organization, he offered up a genius as tribute.

He even orchestrated a civil war within the royal family.

But he never imagined that the Saudi princess he once scorned, so wretched and defeated, would survive long enough to give birth.

And that child, twenty-some years later, would upend all his careful plans in Saudi in a single night.

What goes around, comes around.

King was deeply influenced by Simone. He felt her unyielding spirit and bitterness towards love.

He set his sights on Saudi, aiming to become a key player in the oil industry, as a gift to his mother.

Before meeting Brielle, Simone had the deepest impact on him.

So, he never shunned Max, treating him like a brother, a true ally.

He was ready to protect Max, to clear any obstacles for him, just as Orla had once shielded Simone from life's storms.

His mother named him King to set him apart from Max, knowing he had big ambitions.

King learned much about the world from Simone, nearly everything he knew about its early stages.

"Son, I've always dreamed of you avenging the Saudi royal family. It's my lifelong wish. But more than that, I want you to live a long life, to reachnoveldrama

disasters."

Her initial hatred for the Saudi royal family began to fade as she watched her son struggle for survival among the Dorseys.

She wanted her son to have a good life, but she knew he wasn't ordinary.

Orla, as the elder sister, had been deceived and brought here, losing touch with the outside world.

Ronald had lured her away from the

But now, someone had brought news of her sister, the person Orla worried about most in the world. Orla's hands were wrinkled, aged prematurely from years of developing drugs and radiation exposure. What should have been the hands of a woman not yet fifty looked more like tree bark.

But fate was kind, for now, someone had brought news of her sister.

Her sister was still with that deceitful man, deceived, but her child had grown up safe and sound.

What did her nephew look like? Was he as talented and charming as they said?

Was he as adorable as her sister, who had always been so beautiful?

Orla's gaze lifted to Sarah, standing before her.

But her mind had become muddled after so many years here.

"My name is Sarah."

Sarah sat down, her face calm. "This isn't the place to talk. Finish your meal, and we'll meet later." Surveillance was everywhere, and even the victims here could have been brainwashed into informants. They couldn't risk further conversation, or it would draw suspicion.

Sarah was bold and clever. The brief exchange, facilitated under the guise of serving a meal, was carefully timed. Even if surveillance had caught the interaction, they would likely assume Orla was simply upset and Sarah was offering comfort.
