In the Heart of Darkness

Ibrahim stood frozen, his heart tightening in his chest as her words seeped into him. Her eyes searched his, looking for something-anything-that would give her hope.

"I know you don't love me the way I love you. I can feel it," she continued, her voice trembling as she tried to keep herself composed. "But that's okay. All I'm asking for is a place in your life." Her hand drifted to his chest, her palm pressing softly against his heart. "In here. That's all I want."

Zara's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she spoke the next words, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want nothing more in this world than to be your wife in every sense. Please... make me yours."
