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.

In politics, image is everything. Behind every picture-perfect smile, someone always bleeds. "The world will see your ring... but only I will see the leash attached to it." Layla married for freedom. He married for power. Their union was never about love, it was performance. A show for the cameras, a fantasy for the nation. But in this world, scripts don't last. Desire festers, deception deepens, trust and loyalty are measured by how many skeletons you can bury, and secrets rise - the kind powerful enough to destroy nations. In political affairs, no one is ever what they seem. The same person who kisses you for the cameras... might be the one to pull the trigger in the dark. This is the price of power - gaining it, keeping it, surviving it. Another irony of this life? You go from wanting freedom to falling into the arms of someone who wants to own your being. "Every one of my yeses will be your yes... my no will be yours too." This isn't a marriage. It's a battle wrapped with luxury!!!
