A marriage arranged. A truth concealed. A life trapped.


In 1990s India, sixteen-year-old Anita is married off to a seemingly perfect match-but behind closed doors, her new life is nothing like the promises made. Isolated in a distant home, she becomes a silent prisoner, trapped by duty, fear, and the weight of tradition.

As years pass, whispers of rebellion stir within her, but breaking free isn't easy when the chains are invisible. When fate forces her to make an impossible choice, Anita must decide: Will she remain caged, or will she finally fight for herself-and for the future yet to come?

A gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the unseen battles women fight behind closed doors.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #14 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia
