After losing her father, 23-year-old Yusrah finds herself trapped in a life that no longer feels like hers - suffocated under the roof of a cruel stepmother and cornered into a marriage she never asked for. With no job, no support, and no escape, her only way out becomes an arranged marriage to a man she's never met... a man whose silence is louder than any vow. Zafar Malik is still grieving - not loudly, but in the quiet, haunting ways only a broken man can. A father first, a CEO second, and a widower always, Zafar has locked his past behind a door no one enters. But when his parents choose Yusrah as a bride for him - a soft-spoken girl with no voice in the matter - he's forced to confront the life he's buried, the daughter he's struggling to raise, and a future he's not sure he wants. She didn't ask for him. He didn't want her. But in a house full of silence, grief, and aching, something begins to grow - slowly, painfully - between a girl learning to breathe and a man trying to remember how. This isn't a love story built on butterflies. It's a story of sacrifice. Of duty. Of aching hearts and second chances. Of a woman becoming a wife in a stranger's home... ... and a man discovering that even after grief, love might still have room to bloom.

Zoya has spent her entire life inside the quiet walls of Noor-e-Zindagi Orphanage in Delhi - sixteen years of unanswered questions, forced birthdays, and silence where love should've been. She's angry. Closed off. Always expecting people to leave - because they always do. But everything begins to change when a man from Mumbai shows up with legal documents, a family name she's never heard before, and an offer she never asked for. Suddenly, Zoya is thrown into a world full of unfamiliar faces, buried emotions, and a family that doesn't quite know what to do with her... or who she really is. But she's not ready to be claimed. Note from the Author: The concept, storyline, and overall ideation of this book are entirely mine. The chapters and written content have been developed with the assistance of ChatGPT, based on my original ideas and directions. And she definitely isn't ready to trust the kind of love that arrives too late.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in abusing #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #3 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia

FAITH AND FIRE. "Maine humesha se tumhe apnana chaha, lekin tumne apne chahne waalon ke bheed main kabhi mujhe dhunda hi nahi" said Adhrit.
