He recognised the words but they just did not make any sense. Or, rather, they did make sense but not one he dared to put his trust in. ‘Nabil has renounced her—revoked the marriage agreement,’ his father stated again, holding out the sheet of paper he had been reading from. Karim snatched it, stared at it, but the words danced before his eyes. ‘It is his right,’ his father said calmly. ‘It was always part of the treaty agreement.’ His right, maybe...but why? The words stilled, settled, and at last he could read... ‘He has renounced her...’ he echoed his father’s words in a very different tone, his voice thick with the implications of this for Clementina, for Rhastaan—for him. ‘But why?’ The rest of the message made things clearer in one way—but so much more confusing in another. His father might not recognise it, but there could be no doubt in Karim’s mind just who was behind this. It seemed that under interrogation Adnan—the ex-security man who had been in Ankhara’s pay—had told Nabil of the night that Karim and Clemmie had spent together alone in the cottage.
