Copyright© 2023. All rights reserved. Meet Yasmin El-suraj, the epitome of determination. Defying the stifling norms of a judgmental society, Yasmin fervently pursues her dreams to ensure her family's rightful prosperity. In a society quick to judge, branding a woman's success as tied to whoring about and veiling it under a less prosperous business, Yasmin refuse to be defined by prejudice. When fate presents her the chance to become an event planner, Yasmin seizes it like a lifeline, disregarding her humble beginnings and embracing the opportunity with vigor. As the youngest and least affluent among her peers, she pours her heart and soul into mastering the craft, unwilling to squander this chance. Amidst the whirlwind of her burgeoning career, fate orchestrates a pivotal encounter during her first wedding event-a meeting with Abdullah, a groomsman. A man she knew she wanted, she fell for at first sight. The memory of their first interaction is a blend of blushing embarrassment and unforgettable mortification, etching itself indelibly in Yasmin's psyche. Most wouldn't look his way ever again and would hope to never meet in this lifetime, but not Yasmin. Despite discovering Abdullah's impending marriage, she stakes her claim, unyielding in a society where a man can have four wives, determined to find her place in his life.

At the university, where students spent their days balancing between lectures and life decisions, Fuaiz and Bas met and soon started a relationship. Bas, as a teaching assistant, mentored many students, but his connection with Fuaiz grew into much more than just an academic bond. Over the course of a year, their love story became increasingly serious, and they began planning a wedding. However, beneath the seemingly stable relationship, secrets were slowly starting to unravel their future. Through Irnes, a new student and Fuaiz's best friend who had just enrolled at the university, Fuaiz met her brother, Jjay. It was here that Fuaiz's secret affair with Jjay began, hidden from everyone, including Bas. On the other hand, Bas was playing his own double game. While making plans for the future with Fuaiz, he was secretly maintaining a relationship with Irnes, Jjay's sister, unaware of Fuaiz's betrayal. Although Lukwa, the third sibling in this family, wasn't directly involved in these complicated relationships, her presence as Irnes and Jjay's sister made the web of connections even more tangled. As the wedding preparations continued, daily encounters at the university grew increasingly tense, with secrets threatening to destroy everything Fuaiz and Bas had built-both academically and personally.

On the day she got to know about him, Ayra Leilani Abdulaziz realised she wanted nothing more from the world than to be Ibrahim Fahad's wife. Years later, her dreams are coming true and she's in the one place she'd dreamt of all along: right by his side with his surname as hers. Unlike the sunshine and rainbows she'd imagined, Ayra's forced to learn that being Mrs Fahad is nothing like her fantasies as the picture perfect position is nothing but an illusion, concealing ugly cracks in seemingly perfect portraits, intelligently crafted lies, deceitful masks, and betrayals that come in the worst of ways. Once all is unveiled and up in flames, and there's no way to turn back, what then happens when everything becomes too little and too late...?
