Khadija Nadabo is the kind of woman everyone claims to know - warm, graceful, and endlessly polite, always with a gentle smile no matter the setting. To the outside world, she has it all: a picture-perfect family, a charming son, and a husband whose name carries weight and admiration.
But behind closed doors, it's far from the life people envy.
Her husband's infidelity is a quiet routine, and the steady stream of women he brings home is only matched by the cold disdain she receives from his family - a punishment she's quietly endured for a mistake that still haunts her. She knows better than anyone how deep and dangerous the cracks in the Murad family truly run. Their dysfunction isn't whispered - it's embedded.
When a friend suggests a plan to fix her marriage and put an end to his betrayals, Khadija listens - if only for her son's sake. But instead of spreading herself thin trying to understand people who never tried to understand her, she starts pouring her energy into one person who sees her clearly, and quietly begins to help her find her voice again.
The question is no longer will the plan work?
It's does she still want it to?
