Layla Abbasi, daughter of Zayn Abbasi, the CEO of one the wealthiest companies in Houston, Abbasi Enterprises, couldn't let the idea of marriage get into her head. As her friends discussed their future wedding venues, caterers, dresses and more, she had only her father's business in mind. How could she even think of marriage when such high expectations were put on her as Houston's society watched her every move? Her dream has always been to take over her father's construction company, ideas in her head of how she could improve it with her in the big chair. But when her father decides to retire, how does she react when she uncovers there's a secret agreement that she has to agree to in order to take control? And is this agreement worth her childhood dream of becoming the next CEO of Abbasi Enterprises?

Faiz Aslam, son of Omar Aslam, has always been content controlling his half of his father's company. His father, the CEO of Aslam Industries, another one of the wealthiest companies in Houston, has been constantly asking his son, Houston's most ideal bachelor, to find a wife, or else he would have to pick one for Faiz himself. Faiz always thought his old man was joking, but when his 25th birthday comes around, his father reveals a huge secret, an agreement made before Faiz was even born. 

Faiz and Layla. When their worlds collide, will they be ready? Can they come to love each other, even under their circumstances? Or will this only ever be a professional relationship, loveless as can be?

Completed on May 29, 2020. ~ "Ap...." (You....) Muntaha couldn't utter anything else as Faris 'shh'ed her. He grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her around. Their eyes met in the mirror and they stood staring into each others eyes for what felt like eternity. Muntaha couldn't handle the heat of his gaze anymore and looked down shyly making Faris chuckle. He moved all her hair to one shoulder and tied the tassel at the back. He then saw the golden neclace lying on the table. He had noticed she never took it off, last night she was wearing this necklace even though she had taken off every other jewellery and makeup which made him hide a smile. He picked up the necklace from the table and tied it around her neck. She, who was continuously looking down with her chin touching her chest, looked up when she felt something cold touching her neck. Her eyes again met his and this time she didn't look down. Actually, she couldn't look down as his grey orbs held her green ones captive. Faris then took something out from his pocket and handed it to Muntaha. She looked at her hand in confusion and realised he put some money in her hand. She questioningly looked back at him who kissed her temple and said, "Apna sadqa de dena." (Give your sadqa.) Crimson tinted her cheeks as he left the room leaving his wife in a whirlwind of emotions. The air around her giggled at the mess of a girl who stared at her husband's back with haya surrounding her. ~ This is a story about an 18-year-old girl Muntaha Saleem trying to follow her dreams. She's managing her grades as a scholarship student of a prestigious medical college. She's a know-it-all with a shy but sweet personality. Throw in Faris bin Zayyad Khan, the male version of beauty with brains. He's handsome, he's smart and he knows that. What happens when the both- the alpha male and the not-so-confident wallflower- are tied together in a knot by fate? This is my first story. Give it a try! :)
