• Love has never been more painful. When two opposite sides collide the spark is divine but deadly. 

The river has never been more gracious to two individuals who never planned to meet at its banks one night. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the death of his brother, Rashid agreed to marry his brother's betrothed to secure the ties between his kingdom and her father's city. 

Jazarah's plan to end the marriage comes to a halt with her father's threat. She cannot afford any more failed engagements, she must marry Rashid. 


*******************


"Are you jealous Jazhara?" Rashid dared to lift his fingers to tilt Jazarah's chin to meet his gaze. Her black eyes meets his honey in a clash. It's always a battle of who would look away first. Rashid being trained to dominate will never falter and Jazarah's pride will never let her falter. The weaker one would look away first. 

Jazarah could not ignore the tingling sensation she felt on her chin. Looking at Rashid and having him touch her wasn't a battle Jazarah was ready to face. She ignored the humming of her blood and poured her confidence into his penetrating gaze. 

"You want the truth, Rashid?" Jazarah couldn't help but give into the demands of his stare. He wanted the truth and she will give it to him. Only the truth will be interwoven in their words.

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

There was nothing between us but his pair of sweatpants dangling around his built torso and forgotten love ones, I wanted to feel him deep inside of me. That's when I decided to move my hands away from my body allowing him to see me completely.
