Do you know what makes something feel rushed? Availability. The same goes for people-if you're too easy to get, you're not valued. But when you take your time and value yourself, others do too. Miruna, 25, has only been in one relationship. Unlike her friends, she didn't have the curves, so she leaned on three things-her beauty, her father's wealth, and men's desire. Everyone wanted to be the one to break through her cold, arrogant front- but only one man ever came close. Thabit Ibrahim, 28, heir to the biggest real estate empire in the nation and a practicing psychologist, sees right through her. Miruna's confidence is a mask. Thabit sees the fear behind it. And that's when things start to spiral. She's used to being in control- but this time, she won't see it coming.

The Heir Apparent The Vier Republic is ruled by a single Emperor-but beneath him, four kingdoms thrive, each led by powerful families. All answer to the throne. Huda, a princess from one of the kingdoms, dreams of ruling like her parents. Alongside her childhood friends-Najib, Raudah, and Marwan-she sets out to claim her place as heir. But everything changes in an instant, and not for the better. Her plans are derailed when she's forced to marry Amjad Hammad-an introverted architect with no interest in power or politics. Amjad never wanted a role in the empire, but duty calls, and neither his father-nor the Emperor-won't take no for an answer. Together, Huda and Amjad must face the pressure, danger, and politics of a world they never asked to be part of. As challenges mount, something unexpected begins to grow between them-trust, loyalty... and love. This isn't just a story about power. It's about sacrifice, destiny, and the kind of love that survives even the most impossible circumstances. If you enjoyed The Empire, this is your next obsession. And if you haven't-welcome to the beginning. Read the introduction in Chapter One. -Winterbearz
