At 19, Samira Yasmin Al-Hadi finds herself at a crossroads in life, torn between familial expectations and her own desires. Raised in a devout Muslim family, she wears her burqa as a symbol of faith and tradition, but beneath its fabric lies an innocent girl in search of affection. When her parents propose an arranged marriage with Zayn Ibrahim Al-Farisi, her 25-year-old neighbor and the older brother of her best friend, Samira feels the weight of the world pressing down on her. Zayd , a devoted Muslim with a strong sense of duty, is not opposed to the arrangement. Yet, he grapples with his own feelings of entrapment as he contemplates a life defined by obligation rather than passion. As they navigate the complexities of their potential union, Samira's dreams of love and autonomy clash with the reality of their situation. As they spend time together Samira must confront her deepest fears: Can she embrace a life of devotion to a man she barely knows? Or will she dare to defy her family in pursuit of her own happiness?

Like every other Muslimah her age, Syeda Anaabiya Ahmed dreamed of a love that would heal her scars-a love that would cherish and protect her. As an orphan, she had spent her life fighting battles no child should face-struggling for survival, for a home, and, most painfully, for the love even her own younger sister denied her. Her last hope rested on marriage-the man destined to be her partner, her guide, the one who would help her grow into a better Muslimah. But that dream shattered the moment she was forced to marry Syed Humza Junaid-a man she loathed, a man as ruthless as the dark empire he ruled, a man who saw love as nothing more than a weakness. Defiant and unyielding, Anaabiya refuses to be another pawn in Humza's world of power and crime. She challenges him at every turn, determined not to bow to his arrogance and cruelty. But just when she thinks she has him figured out, the cracks in his armor begin to show-a man tormented by his demons, a man who, against all odds, might just be capable of love. As their world spirals into chaos, hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. Love. Obsession. Destruction. Will Anaabiya tame the monster within him, or will she lose herself in the fire that is Syed Humza Junaid? Join Anaabiya on a journey where love and ruin walk hand in hand-where the heart's deepest desires clash with fate's cruelest twists.

Everyone believes she lost her voice in a childhood accident. What no one knows... is that Meher chooses to stay silent - bound by family secrets and quiet pain. Rudra married her only because she couldn't speak - or so he thought. But as her calmness begins to unravel his walls, her silence becomes his addiction. And when truth, emotion, and obsession collide, will her voice set her free... or destroy them both? 👑 A dark, slow-burn romance filled with passion, power, and secrets - where love isn't whispered, it's felt in silence. ---

©2024 COPYRIGHTS. ❝It's you i want not your virginity, literacy or marriage count.❞ Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm. Umaimah, a village girl with a heart heavy with desperation, was shackled by the cruelty of her adoptive parents, who treated her more as a servant than family. Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors, to vanish into the sprawling anonymity of the urban jungle. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.
