Room 25 | Z.M.

When Ashley Casey checks into a remote rehab center in England, she never expects to find someone who understands her the way Zayn Malik does. Both battling addiction, they become roommates in the same small room - number 25 - where vulnerability and loneliness intertwine.

At first, they're cautious, shy strangers avoiding each other's gaze. But when withdrawal hits Ashley hard, Zayn is the only one who stays, comforting her through the darkest night. Slowly, an intense bond forms - a fragile lifeline against their inner demons and the strict rules meant to keep them apart.

As their connection deepens, so do the cracks: jealousy, obsession, and secrets threaten to unravel everything. Can their fragile love survive the shadows of their past - and the fight for their futures?

Room 25 is a slow-burn romance about healing, heartbreak, and the complicated beauty of finding hope in the unlikeliest places.
