echoes of defiance

In their neighborhood, rumors about Zain and his father linger like shadows. Though they've lived here for over two decades, Zain remains an enigma-a silent storm with a tragic aura shaped by whispers of his mother's mysterious death. His cold, guarded demeanor has always kept others at a distance. But Farhana, the fierce and headstrong daughter of the Chief of Army Staff, is far from intimidated. She meets his coldness with her own fierce resolve, believing he truly despises her-and she's more than willing to hate him back.

What Farhana doesn't know is that Zain's icy exterior hides feelings he's harbored since the day they met. He's tried to bury them, thinking the distance will make them disappear. But every defiant look she throws his way only draws him in deeper, igniting a conflict between resentment and an undeniable pull. Their connection isn't a game; it's a battle of wills, a spark that only grows hotter with every clash, until both must confront the truth: sometimes, the strongest love emerges from the most unyielding hearts.
