A short story defining the stages of love. 

Inara Khan was petulant: stubborn, short-tempered, blunt, and a middle child. She had her life planned until she stumbled on a betrayal by one she had never considered a possibility from. 

Life threw a curve ball to her in name of Rahil Sohail, a smart man who wasn't all smart when it came to his emotions. He was famous for less words, more glares, and definitely a straightforwardness she appreciated. 

He was considered to be less from others, disrespected for what he didn't have until he stood for her respect. 

For, respect was all she wanted. 
✷ ✷ ✷
Rahil Sohail had worked his entire life towards reaching his destiny, unknown to the said destiny being a mischief maker and the daughter of the man he had came to know at his weakest. 
This marriage was supposed to be a promise, an arrangement to honor his father's best friend until his daughter became more. 

She was a storm, brewing and ready to rearrange his entire life. 

Not that he would want her to stop.

Whispers Of The Heart by authorsamara

Her knees felt weak. She sat down on the last stairs. By now, the voices in her head had subsided, and her mind felt blank. With her racing heartbeat, dishevelled hair, and beads of sweat running down from her forehead, her state looked terrible. A drop of tears fell on her cheeks. Her hands went to her cheeks and collected that drop. She didn't know why she was crying. It wasn't that she dearly loved that man. But there was something that made her feel numb. Maybe it was the relationship they had. It suddenly felt as if the world had left her bare. It had taken away the last relationship she had. Now, she had nowhere to go. ****** Ever heard of polar opposites? They are the living examples. Dinayah Usman is a sweet soul with a kind heart and a mind that always supports the right.

Will he genuinely help her or just use her? Delve into this story to know how destiny unfolds in the most unexpected ways.
