Copyright © 2022. All Rights Reserved. ❝ Take my heart, and do with it as you desire. Embrace, or break it. It has only ever been yours--yours to do as you please.❞ Yasmeen Khalid doesn't thrive in the spotlight; she's not one to captivate a room or demand second glances. Instead, she finds solace with her nose buried between the pages of a book, seeking refuge away from the bustling crowds. That's where she finds her peace. However, with a fiery attitude that defies her petite frame, a few eccentricities, and a penchant for sarcasm, it's inevitable that she'll draw attention sooner or later. Not to mention, her non-existent love life makes the idea of an arranged marriage seem appealing. But everything changes when she encounters him. Suddenly, she becomes the protagonist of her own narrative. As Asad Gidado enters the scene, a new tale begins, destined to unravel in unpredictable ways. By Ferdeausee_.
