She hides her face behind a veil. He hides his past behind power. But neither can escape fate.

Amara Safeen El Yakub is a veiled legend in the courtroom-flawless, untouchable, and unknown. Royal by blood, feared by rivals, and wrapped in silk and silence, her life is ruled by secrets, scars, and a deal with her father that keeps her identity hidden... until now.

He is a powerful prince, a CEO with an iron grip on his empire. With enemies on every side and a heart long turned to stone, marriage is the last thing on his mind... until tradition forces his hand.

When their worlds collide, it's not love at first sight-it's war behind closed doors. But in the midst of secrets and silence, power and pride, a question remains:

What happens when the veiled lawyer and the crowned prince are forced to stand side by side... as husband and wife?

Enemies by fate. Lovers by fire.
This is "The Veil and the Gavel."
Some secrets can't stay hidden forever.

30 parts Complete Mature
"He watched me. He followed me. He married me. But I was never supposed to love him back." After surviving a brutal home invasion that stole her childhood and nearly her life, Elara Hayes has spent the last seven years trying to forget. With a dream boutique on the verge of opening and her past seemingly behind her, she's finally starting over. Until the night her boutique burns to the ground. And a man from the shadows steps into the light. Zayne Locke, a cold, enigmatic billionaire, offers her a contract marriage-a solution to her financial ruin in exchange for one year of her life as his wife. What he doesn't tell her? He's the one who saved her that night years ago. And he's been watching her ever since. He claims it was protection. She calls it obsession. But when another stalker emerges-one far more dangerous and unhinged than Zayne-Elara finds herself torn between the man who haunts her and the man who might be the only one who can truly protect her. As the walls close in, dark truths surface, and the line between love and possession blurs, Elara must decide: Can you love the man who watches you in the dark... if he's the only one keeping you alive?

Evelyn Hart believed in fairytales - until the day she was left at the altar. Once a bright, hopeful law student, Evelyn's world crumbled when Nathaniel Blackwell - a powerful business heir she was arranged to marry - walked out on their wedding without a word. The scandal destroyed her family's name, shattered her dreams, and left her to bear the brunt of public humiliation. In a society that blamed her for everything, Evelyn did the only thing she could: she rose from the ashes. Years later, she's one of the most feared and respected lawyers in the country - until one case breaks her resolve and she disappears from the courtroom without warning. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. When Nathaniel's own sister is devastated by a similar betrayal and takes her life, he is desperate for justice. No lawyer is willing to fight for a case everyone believes is already lost - except for the one woman he wronged the most. Evelyn. Silent. Unforgiving. Brilliant. As she reluctantly steps back into the courtroom, the past simmers between them. Nathaniel is haunted by guilt and drawn to the woman he abandoned. Evelyn speaks only when required, avoids the past, and focuses on justice - but her silence screams louder than words. What begins as a legal battle turns into an emotional reckoning. Regret. Redemption. And a slow-burn connection that neither of them expected. Because sometimes, the most powerful verdicts aren't spoken in court - they're written in the heart.

A Forbidden Love - Professor-Student Romance "He was the law I was bound to follow, yet the only rule I ever wanted to break." I believed the law was simple, black and white, right and wrong. Until I met him. Zayyan Khan. The man who could twist words into weapons, who carried the courtroom's authority in every step. Clever. Witty. Unpredictable. He was a storm disguised in a tailored suit, a verdict I could never prepare for. He terrified me, challenged me, and yet... he fascinated me more than I dared to admit. ⋆｡°✩ I have seen every kind of opponent-liars, criminals, manipulators. I know how to read people, dismantle them, break them down until there's nothing left but the truth. Law is my game, and I never lose. Until her. Yusra Malik. My student. My brightest mistake. She looks soft-spoken, innocent even. But beneath that quiet voice is fire- blunt, fierce, and untamed. I told myself she was a distraction, a rule I would never break. But every time her eyes lock with mine, every time her sharp tongue cuts through my defenses, I feel the ground shifting beneath me. She isn't just a student. She's a cross-examination I can't win. And the verdict is clear-Yusra Malik will be the only law I'll ever bow to.

[UNDER EDITING.] Going to war with your dad's enemy seems chaotic. But when he asks you to pretend to love his enemy's son for information to help attack them is another type of chaos. The catch is, you can't fall for his son because it isn't apart of the deal. But love has a funny way of doing the opposite of what the world tells you to do. "Would you do it for me?" I ask. "Sure, anything for my lawyer and I understand why you are mad, I would too after being disrespected in that manner." he answers and I chuckle. "Ooh, now I have an overprotective client, lucky me." He chuckles. "Very lucky phela I'm supposed to hate you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing let's leave it." "Okay." Please don't tell me he has already figured it out.
