"He's her husband by fate, but she's more than just a wife to him-she's his obsession. Ibrahim and Sara's arranged marriage was meant to be a simple formality, but when Ibrahim returns from five years abroad, it's anything but ordinary. Ibrahim's possessiveness over Sara is undeniable-every glance, every touch, every word is laced with a fierce protectiveness that goes beyond love. Sara, young and independent, is shocked by his sudden affection and his jealousy over even the smallest interactions with other men. Ibrahim's cold, distant exterior hides a heart that's terrified of losing her, but he's never been one to show weakness. As they navigate their complicated marriage, Sara discovers that beneath Ibrahim's tough exterior lies a man who would go to any lengths to keep her safe, cherished, and by his side. Torn between his fear of showing too much affection and the overwhelming desire to keep Sara close, Ibrahim struggles to balance his possessiveness with the love he's slowly learning to give. As they clash, argue, and face their fears together, they begin to see that their bond is deeper than they thought. A story of love, jealousy, and the journey of two people who were once strangers finding their way to each other-this is a tale of marriage, possessiveness, and the transformative power of love. If you believe in fierce protectiveness, second chances, and the kind of love that makes you lose control, this is the story for you." ✨Tropes✨: Arranged marriage Possessive husband over-protective husband jealousy slow burn

Title : °{Noor e Mehtab} ° Translation : ||MOONLIGHT|| 🥀🥀🥀 •"If she knew fate would take such turn of events, she would have never stepped in the land where he roamed, never caught his eye and never faced him again"• He was the Sardar from the village who owned the power, crushed the people who defied him and made them familiar with such barbaric fate that made the looming monsters quiver. His fear was deeply engraved in the hearts of people and nobody could dare infuriate him if he adored his precious life. He was the arrogant, heartless and cruel Sardar Badar Nauraiz Shah. She was a girl with big dreams from the city who was humble and cared for the people around her. She was a kind soul. Not familiar with village politics and the greed for power. She was raised in love and care. She was naive, humble and optimistic Shanzay Malik. It was a mere coincidence, a totally unexpected encounter, barely few glimpses, and she got the feeling that his dark obsidian orbs darker than the night itself laced with depth of oceans were going to haunt her for a long time. 🥀🥀🥀 •An enticing tale of sudden encounters, unexpected feelings, a journey of trials and painful beginnings• 🥀🥀🥀 Cover and Aesthetics made by me; ©zephyra_9 (Images used for edits from Pinterest) Copyright infringement and plagiarism is a serious crime, and the offender would be dealt accordingly.

#3 in India (10/10/23) ••• "Listen to me, Do not expect anything from me or this marriage. I only married you because of my baba." His every word pierced through her soul. He didn't wait for her reply, he wasn't expecting any reply from her, she never opens her mouth in front of him. Hayder stood up and was about to go to washroom to change. "I married you because of my mother, otherwise you can never be my ideal choice" Hyra's words made him stop on his track. Turning to her, he saw her standing beside the bed, looking at him with challenging eyes. Her words irked him, going to her, he held her arm tightly in his hand. "Don't you dare to talk back to me otherwise I will cut your tongue." He warned her in a low, dangerous tone. "Ouch!" A soft whimper left her mouth, she tried to free her arm from him. Her eyes brimmed with tears. He was holding her arm very tightly, it might leave bruise later. He left her arm. "One more thing, whatever happened in this room should stay in this room. If you complain to anyone about anything, you will see the worst side of mine." Before leaving, he told her. "You can not be anymore worst." Hyra mumbles to herself, wiping her tears. •••
