She was the wrong suspect. He was the wrong man to fall for. Emaan Asif never imagined her final year would end in an interrogation cell. Accused of espionage. Framed with evidence she didn't even understand. Abandoned by her own blood. And dragged into the dark by the one man who stared her in the eyes and said- "I'm just doing my job." Agent Ayaan Khan thought she was the traitor. Believed the lies. Signed the report. And watched her break. By the time he realized the truth, her life had already gone up in flames. So he did the unthinkable. He offered marriage - a nikah with no promises. No romance. Just redemption. Just a name to shield her from the shame he helped create. Now she's tied to the man who destroyed her. And he's falling - fast, hard, and quietly - for the girl who still flinches when he walks into the room. Enemies. Bound by guilt. Held together by a nikah neither of them asked for. And maybe - just maybe - the slow, silent burn of something they're both terrified to name.
