Nabeel has everything a man could want - wealth, respect, and a reputation that precedes him. But some things don't show on the surface. Since the incident, he has mastered the art of control - over his life, his image... and his pain. Until she walks in. Nooriyyah - soft where he is guarded, sincere where he is distant - steps into his world without realizing the weight it carries. What begins as a quiet connection slowly unravels into something deeper... something neither of them is prepared for. Because some wounds don't heal with time. And not every heart you try to save leaves you untouched •••••• Author: wrote this book as a teenager with no clue as to what it'll become , my first ever book published here.
