Their marriage was built on family ties, not love or at least, that's what he believed.
To him, it was a responsibility. To her, it was everything.
She entered the marriage with a heart full of hope, believing that one day, he might return her love. But Zayan Malik had long buried his ability to feel, to connect especially with someone who looked at him with such quiet devotion.
Seeing that hope in her eyes, he pulled away not out of cruelty, but to protect her from the hollowness inside him. What he didn't realize was that his silence, his absence, his indifference... would shatter her heart more deeply than any harsh word ever could.
And when he left without a goodbye, she thought the pain had reached its peak.
Until she discovered she was carrying his child.

Unchosen,still yours
"They were never meant to be, yet fate signed their names together. In a marriage neither chose, love wasn't the plan... but hearts have a way of rebelling. Rayyan, proud and guarded, carrying scars he hides deep within. Airah, strong but broken, fighting to keep her past from defining her future. Forced into a life they didn't want, they start as strangers bound by duty and pain. But sometimes, even when love isn't promised, the heart finds a way to break through the walls - and maybe, just maybe, two broken souls can find something real in each other."
Choosing YOU
He was abandoned before he learned how to love - and she was thrown into his life by fate. Everyone thought they were just another arranged couple fumbling through married life. What no one saw were the storms behind closed doors. He didn't talk much - not about the family that left him,or the pain he never gave a name to. He carried his wounds like shadows, quietly, stubbornly. Until the day he broke - and told her the truth. A child born without warmth of a mother. Left behind like a secret. Raised without love. She tried to fix it - she really did. But healing doesn't always come from the ones who hurt us. So instead, she offered him something else: Her hand. Her heart. Her vow to stay. This isn't a story about saving someone. It's about standing with them when no one else will. And loving them until they finally start to believe they're worthy of it.Complete
