CAN BE READ AS STAND STAND-ALONE. This book serves as a prequel to Twisted Family of Sikandars, focusing on Aairah and Hayaan's journey from their first meeting to their early married life. This story is a journey through time-a tale of love, longing, and the inevitable pull of fate. Aairah fell first. She fell hard, surrendering her heart to a man who barely acknowledged its existence. For four long years, she loved him in silence, watching from a distance as her feelings grew deeper, stronger, and more unshakable. Hayaan Sikandar, the man who had unknowingly captured her heart, was a force of nature-powerful, untouchable, and entirely uninterested in love. But destiny has a way of playing its own games.

He ruled the world with power. She walked it with faith. He was a man who didn't believe in love. Or God. Zayyan Al-Karim-feared mafia boss and ruthless businessman. To him, loyalty was rare, and emotions were a weakness. His heart? Cold. His faith? Nonexistent. He was a man of darkness, surviving by his own brutal code. Until her. Aleeza Siddiqui-a woman of faith, dignity, and strength. Modest yet fierce in her beliefs, she lived a life guided by Islam, untouched by the chaos of his world. She hated everything he stood for... And he couldn't stay away. Their worlds collide when she becomes his personal assistant, forced to work under a man who represents everything she despises. But what begins with hatred slowly turns into something neither of them expected. As Zayyan falls for Aleeza's unwavering faith, her gentle strength, and her kindness, he begins to question his life, his choices-and his soul. In a world built on sin and power, can a man of darkness find his way to light? This is a story of destiny (Qadr), redemption, and a love that breaks all boundaries. A halal love story where hearts change, faith grows, and two people destined by Allah find each other in the most unlikely way.

#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. •••
