The information that Laura was responsible for Shayah's demise was problematic for Sheik Al-Shahid to accept. Now, the woman he'd started to feel a connection with, the one he believed to be unique, was facing murder charges.
However, a part of him didn't buy into it. He knew that Laura was not a murderer, although the proof was indisputable. He knew how much the two had bonded to the point that Shayah would disobey him and let her escape. With his heart-tugging devotion to duty, the Sheik must make a difficult choice.
Should he punish the woman who is suspected of killing his wife to bring justice to her murder? or should he follow his gut, accept Laura's innocence, and take a chance to go against his people's wishes and his own son's need for vengeance?
In the end, Sheik Al-Shahid listened to his heart and didn't pursue it any further. Every part of the palace was a stronghold of secrets and murmurs, but he couldn't care less. He's the law, and they need to heed his words.
