Yasmin never for once imagined her life would turn out this way. One moment, she was just another girl trying to navigate the expectations of a world that never seemed to ask what she wanted, and the next, she was hearing the words that sealed her fate, words she hadn't even been present to hear. The knot had been tied. Just like that. And best of all? She barely even knew the man she was now bound to. But how do you know if someone's intentions are real? How do you trust a life you didn't get to choose? And more important than that, how do you talk yourself into accepting a future that feels nothing like the one you dreamed of? Amir Abdallah is everything Yasmin Noor isn't. Confident. Persistent. The kind of man who doesn't just say things to impress but follows through with every word. The problem? He wants more than just a marriage in name. He wants her. All of her. But Yasmin Noor doesn't know if she even has that to give.
