For Duty's Sake

Angele was shocked by the photographs sent to her home. They were intimate shots of Zahir-her fiance and the crown prince of Zohra-with a woman. Angele got engaged to Zahir when she was thirteen. Although it was an arrangement between their countries, she had been desperately in love with Zahir ever since. But Zahir was smiling and looking content in the photos. Angele thinks, if he doesn't love her, she should let go of him. She decides to break off the engagement and give Zahir his freedom. But she has one last request: "I want you to be my first man."
