Page 24 of I Accidentally Married A Sheikh

All I can do is shake my head. "That'sin—-"

Zahir raises a brow, and I'm suddenly reminded of the fact that he's both asheikhand a general in his kingdom.

"—-credible," I finish lamely. "It's just soincredible,for you to, um, think that.Really, truly...incredible." The word doesn't have the same ring as 'insane', but I'm hoping it can still get my point across.

"You flatter me."

Or not.

"But in truth, I also find you incredible in many ways."

He did?

"Such as the way you have been with that man for years. Others may see it as an incredible display of loyalty on your part—-"

Is this his way of flattering me back?

"But all I see is a demonstration of incredible stupidity."

Or not...yet again.

"Why did you waste so many years on someone obviously wrong with you?"

"I didnotwaste—-"

"You did."

"Well, you're wrong."

"Mm."

It's all he says, but I still feel like he's judging me.

"Don't look at me like that!"

"I simply think it isincredible—-"

A gracious winner who doesn't make digs...Zahir clearlyisn't.

"That such truths are not yet clear—-"

I know I shouldn't let his words get to me, but...

"Nothing has been clear since I woke up!"

Yes, Iamletting his words get to me—-

"Then let me make it clear to you, shall I?"

Because his arrogance has no bounds.

"You barely know me!"

"And yet I know your ex-boyfriend has every right to resent you."

"Excuse me?"

"Because you have kept him dangling for years—-"
