Her simplicity was his undoing,And he was ready to burn everything, everyone even her peace just to make her his. Not because of beauty that glittered Not because of words that flattered But because of something rarer...

UNEDITED CHAPTERS 1-25 Armani grew up starved of affection. In a house where love should have lived, her mother's coldness taught her to expect nothing from anyone. She learned to keep her feelings quiet, her hopes small, and her heart guarded. But everything changes when she is forced into an arranged marriage with Zaid Ismael AbdulRahman-a 26-year-old architectural prodigy and powerful multi-millionaire businessman. To the world, Zaid is known as a cold, calculating man. Reserved, disciplined, and distant, he is the kind of man people respect... and fear. No one has ever seen warmth in his eyes. Except Armani.

In a marriage that was never meant to hold love, Armani may finally discover the one thing she thought she would never have-a heart that chooses her, every single day. ✨

Amal never meant to fall for the wrong brother. She never meant for heartbreak to push her into the arms of the only man who truly saw her - the only man who understood the pieces of her everyone else overlooked. Aarif wasn't supposed to look at her that way. Not when she once belonged to his brother. Not when loving her meant tearing his family apart. But he looked anyway. He fell anyway.

In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets refuse to stay buried, and love comes with consequences, Amal must decide whether healing means walking away from the past... or risking everything for a future she never saw coming.

Usman Shagari was the kind of man who turned heads without trying,handsome, wealthy, and born into one of the country's most powerful families. But beneath the tailored suits and calculated charm was a man carved from ice distant, unreadable, and deliberately cold to the world. Only a few ever saw the warmth he reserved for those he truly trusted. Once, long ago, love had cracked his armor and nearly destroyed him.

Aleeyeh set the tray down gently, careful not to let the cups clink. She had learned these small precautions-how to exist softly around him, how not to disturb the silence he lived in. Salman didn't look up. She stood there for a moment, fingers twisting into the edge of her sleeve. "I made it the way you like," she said softly. "Less sugar." That was when he spoke. "Aleeyeh." Her name sounded heavy on his tongue, like something he had avoided saying for too long. She looked up, hope rising before she could stop it. "You don't have to do this anymore," he said, finally meeting her eyes. His voice wasn't angry. That almost hurt more. "The effort. The trying." Her lips parted, but no words came. "I see it," he continued, measured, distant. "And I don't want it." A pause. Then, quieter-crueler in its honesty. "I will never love you." The room felt smaller. "I understand," she whispered, though her chest burned with the lie. As she turned away, Salman added, almost like a warning, "Stop waiting for me to change. You'll only hurt yourself." She walked out without another word, carrying her dignity like a fragile glass-unbroken, but trembling. ........

Salman was twenty-five when that promise was made-already in love with another woman, already tied to a heart that was not meant to be his forever.

Living beside a husband who does not see her, Aleeyeh learns how lonely marriage can be. Ink of a Broken Vow is a story of patience, past love, and the quiet strength it takes to heal a heart bound by promises made too soon.

Ranya Rabiu is everything a perfect daughter should be-until her body begins to fail and her soul starts to rebel. Engaged to a man who treats her like an achievement, she drifts through life half-awake, suffocating under obedience and silence. Then she meets Dr. Zaydan Malik-quiet, watchful, dangerously gentle. He doesn't try to save her. He simply sees her, and that changes everything. As Ranya begins to awaken, the world tightens its grip. Love becomes a liability. Choice becomes a sin. Forced into a marriage she never chose, she is sealed inside a house where her voice fades, her faith flickers, and the one person who made her feel real disappears. This is not a love story. It's the story of what happens when a woman learns who she is-and the cost of wanting more.
