In the comforting embrace of his perfect life, Khan Murtasim Khan had everything one could wish for. Yet, a capricious twist of destiny snatched away his most cherished possession, plunging him into the abyss of darkness. A once vibrant soul, now encased in stone, Murtasim became a haunting silhouette of his former self.

Guided by the poignant whisper of his father's dying wish, Murtasim found himself entangled in an arranged marriage with Meerab Khan-an embodiment of youth and carefree cheerfulness. Their union, born out of duty, emerged as a crucible of emotions, a battleground where Murtasim's stoicism clashed with Meerab's zestful spirit.

Amidst the backdrop of tragedy, familial obligation, and the redeeming alchemy of love, the story unfolds. As Meerab steps into Murtasim's world, will her bubbly presence lift the eclipse shrouding his heart, or will his shattered soul entwine her in the shadows of tragedy and mystery it holds?

Murtasim Khan is a 27-year-old feudal lord and a successful businessman. With dark hair, brown eyes, and a commanding Aura, Murtasim holds a charismatic presence. He upholds his family's legacy and reputation while also managing his thriving business ventures. Living in a lavish mansion in Hyderabad, he cherishes the close bond he shares with his mother, Salma Shahnawaz Khan, and his younger sister, Mariam Shahnawaz Khan. Since the death of his father, Shahnawaz Khan, when Murtasim was just 17, he has carried the weight of family expectations, which has scarred his outlook on relationships. On the other hand, Meerab Khan, 21, is an intelligent young woman with honey-brown eyes and a fair complexion. She carries herself with grace. Meerab lives in Lahore with her strict father, Anwar Khan, a wealthy businessman, and her mother, Nadia Khan. She completed her education with high hopes and ambitions but is constrained by the expectations placed on her as a daughter in a traditional family. Murtasim is driven by a desire for power, success, and maintaining his family's legacy. He pours his heart and soul into his business, believing that success can fill the void left by his father's death and the betrayal of his first love, Ayesha Ali. Conversely, Meerab is motivated by duty and familial loyalty. The last wish of her late paternal uncle, Shahnawaz Khan, was for Murtasim and Meerab to marry, which puts immense pressure on her. Without many options for a future that fulfills her dreams, she finds herself walking a precarious line-wanting to honor her family's wishes while yearning for a sense of independence and love.

❥ A Glimpse of the Story ✧⁠*⁠。 "𝑱𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒎𝒖𝒋𝒉𝒆 𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒐 𝒓𝒂𝒉𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒊-𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒏?" he said, his voice a mix of hurt and rage, as he pressed the gun to his chest. "𝑼𝒔𝒌𝒂 𝒌𝒚𝒂?" I raised both hands to calm him down, my eyes fixed on the black gun. My legs were shaking with fear. But deep down, my subconscious told me he wouldn't hurt me. Still, a part of me feared he might harm himself. "𝑴𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒎, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚. 𝑰 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏... 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕..." I whispered, my voice breaking as he grabbed my chin. "'𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚?'

Stunned. Speechless. Petrified. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁!
