Imran Yousafzai, the MNA of Noushehra, seemed to practically rule the city. From the outside, it was a developed, lively place by day and peaceful by night. But appearances were deceiving. Behind the facade, his rule was far harsher. Imran governed with an iron fist, a man who made rules and laws of his own. He had three sons and two daughters. While his sons roamed freely, indulging in whatever they pleased, his daughters were caged within the walls of the haveli. They couldn't even step outside without his permission. To the people, he was a visionary who had transformed Noushehra into a beautiful city. To his family, he was suffocating, controlling every breath, every step, until home felt less like a sanctuary and more like a prison. His youngest daughter, Abeeha, was twenty-two-a dreamer with a heart as soft as silk and a mind as sharp as a blade. She had grown up watching her mother, the ironlady of the household, manage wealth, power, and the constant presence of bodyguards. She had seen her elder sister marry at twenty-two, watched her smile fade, her eyes grow heavy with responsibility. So, when Abeeha became engaged to Omar Nazimuddin, the middle son of the Governor of Sindh, she braced herself for the same fate that had trapped every other woman in her family. She planned her escape, calculated how to handle him-but the marriage went ahead, despite all her plans, shattering every expectation she had carefully built.
