She was the girl they once sent away. Now she is the one they cannot let go. Mirha Asfandyar Malik lives in a house that is no longer just a home. It is a dynasty. A legacy. A village of people who would burn the world before letting anything touch their Noor. But even the strongest families cannot stop time. And one question slowly begins to echo through the Malik house- What happens when it is time for Mirha's marriage? Because loving her was easy. Letting her go? That is something none of them are ready for. And somewhere between wedding chaos, family politics, and 25 overprotective Malik men... A man walks into her life. Calm. Unbothered. Unafraid. The only problem? He is not just facing Mirha. He is facing Malik Village. --- > Pray for the man who will ask for Mirha Asfandyar Malik's hand... because before reaching her- he must survive Malik Village first.

التيم Betrothed by decree, not desire, Aahil Ziyad and Ruya Layal enter a marriage shaped by power and expectation. He is the prince who bends rules until they snap, careless with privilege, reckless with charm, and drawn to defiance; she is measured, observant, younger yet steadier, and unwilling to be dazzled by a crown. Opposites collide with a force that is at once scorching and relentless, every glance and word charged with a heat that consumes. In the space between them grows a tension neither knows how to name. In the gilded confines of duty, attraction turns consuming, and love reveals itself not as comfort, but as 𝐴𝑙-𝑇𝑎𝑦𝑚.

CAUTION CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. "Say it, Allison," he said, his voice low as he trapped me against the rough wall. A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric. I could feel my resolve weakening as his hand reached its destination. "Say it," he demanded. I moaned, my head tipping back as he moved expertly. I wanted to say it then, I really did. But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special.
