18 parts Ongoing In the Kingdom of Hudaan, where betrayal was a birthright and deception a way of life, a storm was about to rise.
Hayat Nazar, the cherished daughter of Hashmet and Mariyam, had everything she had ever wished for. With her wedding to Ahmar Shams-the love of her life-just around the corner, she felt as if she were living in a dream. A dream so perfect, it seemed untouchable.
Until Sheikh Tayyab bin Zubair al Hudaan decided to destroy it.
Once a man of honor, the Emir of Hudaan had become a shadow of his former self-a tyrant who ruled with an iron fist, a man feared and hated in equal measure. Where there was mercy in him once, now there was only darkness. Where there was once a heart, now lay a void filled with the need for revenge.
And now, for reasons unknown to her, he had set his sights on ruining her.
A cruel twist of fate bound them together, locked in a war neither had chosen but both refused to lose. Hatred was the only language they spoke, their every interaction laced with scorn and defiance.
A twisted game of ruin had begun.
Masks were donned.
Every move, a calculated strike.
Every word, a dagger in disguise.
Lies became truth.
Deception turned into an art form.
Betrayal was no longer a choice but a necessity.
But amidst the wreckage of their hatred, something unexpected took root.
They had been ready to break each other.
They had been ready to burn.
But they had never been ready for this.
For the one thing they had never foreseen was the one thing that could ruin them both.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Hudaan, where secrets are buried deeper than the dead, treachery runs through the veins of its people, and love... love is the most dangerous game of all.
"I would set fire to myself if it meant keeping you warm. I would shatter if it meant piecing you back together. Because if love is to destroy, then let it be you who ruins me." - Sheikh Tayyab bin Zubair
