1998 In the blood-soaked labyrinth of Lyari, power is the only currency. Zoya Ali Zardari, the "People's Princess" and daughter of a political titan, trades her gilded cage for the grit of the streets to find the truth behind the headlines. There, she crosses paths with Rehman Baloch, a silent, scarred Don forged in the fires of gang warfare. One midnight collision and a glimpse of emerald eyes behind a dupatta spark an impossible attraction. As rival gangs clash and bullets fly, a dangerous game of courtship begins, proving that even in a fortress of scars, love is the deadliest weapon. Tropes : Forbidden Love Grumpy x Sunshine Gangster x Princess Love at First Sight

In a house frozen by grief, a cold widower marries the surgeon who saved his son-not for love, but to give the boy a mother. Amidst the sterile silence of a "shrine" dedicated to a dead woman, a slow-burning fire begins to thaw a heart that had sworn itself to the grave.

Some love stories begin with flowers. Theirs began with a badly written letter. Rehman Baloch was nineteen when he wrote it - messy handwriting, broken grammar, ink smudged where his hands had trembled. But between the crooked sentences and the dried tear stains was a promise. A house. Two children. A lifetime with the only woman he had ever wanted. Ulfat read that letter once. Then she kept it forever. Twenty-three years later, the future inside that letter exists. A home filled with quiet glances and coded words. Two sons who understand more than they should. And a marriage that was never meant to be calm. Because Ulfat and Rehman never learned how to love gently. Their love is sharp. Possessive. The kind that burns too hot to ever become ordinary. They fight like storms and forgive like sinners. They know every weakness the other carries. And still... neither of them ever walks away. The years changed many things. They grew older. Children grew taller. Silence grew heavier. But one thing never changed. The way Rehman still looks at his wife like the world could end tomorrow. And the way Ulfat still forgets how to breathe when he walks into the room. Because some marriages grow quiet with time. Theirs only grows more dangerous. And the terrifying truth neither of them will ever admit is this, They never stopped loving each other like reckless teenagers.

In the dust-choked heart of Lyari, Rehman Baloch rules as a king with a soul forged in fire, until he meets Y/n-the daughter of the man he's sworn to destroy. Their "hate-hate" tension ignites when Rehman corners her in the labyrinthine streets, whispering, "Tumhari ankhein sach bolti hain, par tumhara baap sirf jhoot bechta hai." Facing a city on the brink of war, they must navigate a brutal attraction where every touch feels like a betrayal. "Main aapse nafrat karna chahti hoon," Y/n breathes against the cold steel of his world, to which Rehman simply replies, "Toh phir itni kareeb kyun khari ho?"

Enemies to lovers trope. If you have patience , give it a try . 18+ and heavy angst , so if you are not comfortable with angst , this story is not for you.

I'm writing the prequel of Rehmat. This is where it all begins-before love, before blood, before promises. A small request to everyone reading this fanfic: please wear your earbuds 🎧 and play the Saiyaara movie BGM while reading. I promise you- the emotions will hit harder, the silences will speak louder, and the moments will feel painfully real... because some stories are meant to be felt, not just read. 🤍✨ Stay with me on this journey.
