IQTIDAR: A LOVE MEANT TO BE DOOMED

Mehr-un-nisa wasn't like this before. She had always stood firmly by her morals, unwavering in her pursuit of what was right, no matter the cost. But sorrow, when laced with anger, has the power to unearth shadows in even the strongest souls.

After her father's death, Mehr-un-nisa became the pillar of her family. With quiet resilience, she held them together, her smile masking the pain she carried. Yet, even the strongest hearts can falter under the weight of grief. Then, the incident happened. It shattered her world and tested every value she held dear. Her sense of justice, once so steadfast, began to twist. Revenge whispered louder than forgiveness, pulling her into unfamiliar darkness.

Shahnawaz Shah, on the other hand, was a man shaped by compromise. Raised in a political family, he learned early that power often demanded moral sacrifices. His ideals blurred long ago, and ambition became his guiding force. He thought he had made peace with it-until he met her.

Mehr-un-nisa was different, her spirit a light in his otherwise shadowed world. Her determination and warmth unnerved him, challenging the rules he had lived by. He hadn't anticipated that their fates would become so deeply entwined.

Then came the incident that divided his life in two. His loyalty to his brother-a man with undeniable guilt-clashed with his growing feelings for her. Shahnawaz knew the choice should have been simple: family always came first. But watching the light in Mehr-un-nisa dim, her sorrow breaking her, he couldn't turn away. Her grief became his own, forcing him to confront the chains of loyalty binding him to his brother's crimes.

Now, Shahnawaz is torn between a love that could free him and a loyalty that demands silence. As her pain draws him closer, he faces an impossible question: could love ever outweigh blood?
