ON HOLD till March 2026 [May update a chapter if you guys are blessed enough] "Some shadows don't just protect you... they consume you." Noor Pathan had always been her father's pride - veiled, dignified, and untouchable. But her world tilts the moment her life is threatened, and protection comes in the form of one man she was never meant to notice. Ibrahim Pasha - silent, disciplined, her father's most trusted guard. Raised as family yet never truly belonging, he had one duty: protect the daughter of Nawaz Pathan at all costs. But when duty turns into something far more dangerous - stolen glances, unspoken prayers, late-night shadows - Noor realizes his silence is louder than any vow, and his presence more consuming than any danger outside. A halal slow-burn where: ✨ Bodyguard x Protected ✨ Forced proximity ✨ Veil & devotion ✨ Loyalty, faith, and forbidden emotions Will Noor survive living in his shadows... or will she finally step into them?

She married him to save herself, never expecting to heal herself. He took her in to protect her, never expecting to fall. Between law and medicine, storms and laughter, their imperfectly perfect family was born. 🌟 Hello, my gorgeous Wattpad readers! 🌟 It is your honourable storyteller reporting on duty - here to sprinkle a pinch of heartbreak, a dash of romance, a swirl of healing, and a whole lot of imperfectly perfect love straight into your hearts! 💫 If you've stumbled across this story, trust me, it's no accident - the universe (or maybe Wattpad's sneaky algorithm 😉) brought you here for a reason. Welcome to the world of Mahira Khan, a fiery lawyer who never thought love could cross her well-guarded path. Meet Dr. Danish Farooqui, a man who thought he'd left love behind, until it knocked on his door in the form of a marriage he never planned. Their tale is full of storms, courtroom battles, laughter, tiny hugs, and second chances - all woven into a story that proves no one is perfect, but sometimes, imperfect is exactly what the heart needs.

It started with misunderstandings neither of them intended. A girl who vowed not to fall, and a man who already had. What began with distant glances turned into stolen moments. And chaos slowly gave way to connection. In another corner of their story, Friendship found meaning in the quiet, unspoken gestures. Feelings that didn't need a name still found a home. Hearts aligned, fates intertwined - without warning. Some stories aren't written... they're destined. And this? Was always Scripted by Destiny. --- Zayn & Aaisha - They weren't meant to fall in love. She was hired to work under the man she once despised. He was the boss - arrogant, sharp, and far from kind. But fate, with all its mysterious twists, had other plans. Between silent glares and unspoken care, their story began to unfold. It wasn't the beginning they dreamed of - but it became the ending they never imagined. What started with annoyance turned into comfort. What once felt impossible, became undeniable. Two souls, intertwined by destiny, learning that sometimes... the most unexpected love stories are the most beautiful. "It was always you. Even when I didn't want it to be." - Aaisha --- Salar & Fatimah - Something More Than Friendship It wasn't planned. From the moment Salar laid eyes on Fatimah, something shifted - something he couldn't quite name. They weren't exactly friends. Not yet. But between shared glances, witty comebacks, and moments of standing together for others, they built a bond that went beyond labels. Salar didn't call it friendship, and Fatimah never asked. But when hearts are in sync, titles don't matter. Their journey wasn't loud - it was soft, steady, and certain. And when the time came, love was already there, quietly waiting to be claimed. "I don't know when I fell for her - maybe I never stopped." - Salar --- Ranks>> #21 responsibilities #13 engineer #751 past #212 office romance #1 grumpyxsunshine #129 lawyer
