ORNAMENTS: FROM SHADOWS TO THE HEART
Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides.
But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.
However, the city was not the sanctuary she dreamed of. Instead, it was a labyrinth of old grudges and forgotten vendettas-an elite world where power was inherited and debts were paid in blood. In this unforgiving maze, Umaimah was a pawn caught between bitter rivals who would stop at nothing to bury the past... until she crossed paths with Nabeel.
Nabeel, a man whose heart was as dark as the secrets he guarded, saw her not as a delicate maiden, but as a rare thing-a person who, despite being broken, still had the potential to burn. And burn she did. In the heat of their connection, Umaimah discovered a love so all-consuming, so fiercely protective, that it eclipsed everything she had once known.
Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm.
