The Sheikh married a beautiful Russian woman, but right during their wedding he gave her a strange condition: “You must have a child every year until our eldest turns 18. This condition cannot be broken.” The young woman agreed, not even imagining what would happen in the fourth year of their marriage 😨
Before meeting Omar, Emma’s life was completely different.
She grew up in a poor family and had worked almost without days off since she was eighteen. During the day, she studied, and in the evenings, she worked as a waitress at an expensive restaurant in a five-star hotel.
That was where Sheikh Omar appeared one day.
He had come to the city on business and went downstairs for dinner that evening. Omar was used to having beautiful women around him, but that night it was the young waitress who caught his attention.
Emma accidentally mixed up his order, and when she realized her mistake, she became very embarrassed and began apologizing.
But instead of getting angry, Omar smiled.
The next evening, he returned to the restaurant. Then he came again. After a few days, Emma understood that he was no longer coming there for the food.
Omar began inviting her on dates. He showed her a completely different world: expensive restaurants, huge houses, cars with drivers, and jewelry worth more than her parents’ apartment.
To the young woman, it all seemed like a fairy tale. And a few months later, Omar suddenly asked her to become his wife.
Emma agreed.
The wedding was held at Omar’s family palace. Hundreds of guests gathered in the huge hall, fresh flowers stood everywhere, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and golden tableware lay on the tables.
But when the newlyweds were handed the marriage contract, Omar suddenly stopped the ceremony.
He looked at Emma and said calmly:
— But I have one condition. You must have a child every year until our eldest child turns eighteen. This condition cannot be broken. If you do not agree, you can stand up and leave now. If you agree, I will provide you and the children with everything you need.
The hall fell silent. Emma looked at the groom in confusion. Eighteen years?
She could not even imagine having that many children. But she thought Omar was simply talking about having a big family and that, over time, he would understand how strange his demand was.
Besides, she loved him and did not believe that he could harm her. So Emma signed the contract.
The first year was truly happy. Soon, she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, whom they named Adam.
Omar was incredibly happy. A year later, a daughter named Mia was born, and another year later, their second son, Leo, was born.
Three children in three years.
Emma barely had time to rest. Despite the nannies and doctors, the constant pregnancies and caring for small children exhausted her.
In the fourth year, what she feared happened.
Months passed, but she did not become pregnant.
Omar said nothing. Every month, he only asked the doctor the same question.
— Any news?
And every time, he heard:
— No.
Emma became more and more anxious. She remembered the condition in the contract and one day asked her husband what would happen if she could not fulfill it.
Omar looked at her for a long time.
— You agreed to my conditions yourself.
He did not explain anything else.
The last day of the fourth year of their marriage arrived.
From the morning, Emma was not herself. She remembered perfectly the condition she had signed on her wedding day, but until the very end, she hoped Omar had long forgotten those words.
They had three children. Emma loved her husband and was sure that he loved her too. Could some clause in an old contract truly be more important than all of that?
But the Sheikh did something that left everyone in the palace completely horrified 😳😱 The continuation of the story can be found in the first comment 👇👇
That evening, a maid suddenly asked Emma to come down to the main hall of the palace. Omar was sitting at a long table. Beside him were his father, mother, the family lawyer, and several relatives.
The same marriage contract lay in front of Omar.
— What is happening? — Emma asked quietly.
Her husband looked at her calmly.
— Today is the last day of the year. You are not pregnant.
Emma felt her hands begin to shake.
— Omar, I tried. The doctors said that my body needs rest. I gave you three children in three years.
— I know.
— Then why are we even talking about this?
Omar opened the contract and placed it in front of his wife.
— Because you broke the condition.
Emma was silent for a few seconds, then gave a nervous laugh.
She still thought her husband was only trying to frighten her.
— So what happens now?
Omar looked at the lawyer.
The man took out several documents.
— Your marriage contract has been annulled. From this moment on, the marriage is considered dissolved according to the terms of the agreement.
The smile disappeared from Emma’s face.
— What?..
She looked at her husband.
— Are you serious?
Omar said nothing.
Then Emma stepped closer.
— I left my country for you. My job. My family. I gave you three children. For four years, I lived the way you wanted me to live. And now you are throwing me out just because my body could not become pregnant again?
Omar lowered his eyes. But he did not change his decision. A few minutes later, Emma’s suitcases were brought into the hall.
They had already been packed.
And at that moment, she understood the most terrible thing. Her husband had prepared everything in advance.
He had not waited until the last day and had not hoped that anything would change.
— What about the children? — Emma whispered.
Omar was silent for a long time.
— They will leave with you.
Even his mother looked at her son in surprise.
— Omar, they are your children.
— I know.
Emma said nothing more. She went upstairs, woke the children, and dressed them.
An hour later, the woman who had been considered the mistress of a huge palace that morning stood outside its gates with three small children and several suitcases. The enormous gates slowly closed behind her.
Emma looked at the palace windows.
Omar stood in one of them. He saw them. But he did not even come outside to say goodbye. And then Emma finally understood the price of the luxury that had once captivated her so much.
For all those years, she had thought she had become the mistress of a fairy-tale palace.
In reality, she had only been a part of a contract.
But Emma learned the most terrible thing much later. A few months later, she was given a photograph from the palace.
In it, Omar was sitting at the same table. Beside him was another young woman in a wedding dress. And in front of her lay a new marriage contract.
