Forced Vows | Age gap | fictional characters |

Leyla Arzhang, a 27-year-old doctor, had always been her father's pride. But when she eloped with a man her family disapproved of, the scandal threatened to ruin their reputation. Her father, a respected doctor himself, was desperate to salvage their honor and bring Leyla back to the life he envisioned for her.

Emmad Noorani, a 45-year-old businessman with a commanding presence, had been a family friend for years. His success in business was matched by his respectability in the community. When Dr. Arzhang approached him, pleading for help, Emmad agreed to an arranged marriage with Leyla, seeing it as a way to repay a debt of friendship and uphold a promise.

Married to a man she barely knew, Leyla felt trapped between her father's expectations and her own desires. As she and Emmad navigated their forced union, they slowly began to uncover unexpected facets of each other, leading them to question whether love might grow from the ashes of duty and obligation.
