Danyal and Aanya never asked for a future together-at least not in the same way.

For Aanya, love bloomed early. She had loved Danyal for as long as she could remember, holding on to the dream of being his one day. But when fate ties them together in a forced marriage, her dream quickly turns into a slow-burning nightmare.

Danyal, heartbroken and emotionally wrecked from a betrayal he never saw coming, has nothing left to give. Cold, distant, and wrapped in the memories of someone who shattered him, he refuses to see Aanya as anything more than a burden-an unwanted reminder of a life he didn't choose.

But love can only survive so much silence. So much hurt. And when Aanya finally walks away, broken but not defeated, it forces Danyal to confront everything he's been running from: the pain, the anger... and the quiet truth that maybe, just maybe, she was the one who could heal him all along.

"Cruel Beginnings" is a heart-wrenching tale of unspoken love, emotional wounds, and the power of second chances-where healing begins not when hearts are forced together, but when they choose to stay.

When obsession crosses the line, it's not always hate that follows, sometimes, it's love in its most dangerous form. Anaya has always been fragile. Soft-hearted, quiet, and full of hidden pain. Her past is something she never speaks about, but it lives inside her every day. The trauma, the memories, the nightmares, they have shaped her into someone who doesn't laugh like she used to, doesn't trust like she once could. And the one person who was her entire world in childhood... became the reason for her deepest wounds. Arhem Khan. Five years older. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. And the only one who ever truly saw her, yet also the one who unknowingly became part of her pain. Now, Anaya is ready to leave everything behind and get married, not out of love, but so her family can finally have peace. Maybe if she disappears from their lives, they'll stop hurting. Maybe her absence will be a gift. But fate brings Arhem back. He's changed. Or maybe, he's only ever been this way with her, dangerous in his devotion, intense in his silence, and soft in ways no one else sees. When he finds out she's getting married, he can't stay away. And when the unexpected happens on her wedding day, Arhem makes a bold move that changes everything. He replaces the groom. Now Anaya is forced to live in a deal she never wanted, married to the man she tried so hard to forget, far from her family, carrying her trauma into a new home that doesn't feel like hers. But Arhem is not her villain. He's her past, her present, and the storm she never escaped. He wants to protect her, love her, and heal her, but he doesn't know how to let go. And she doesn't know how to forgive. This is a story of broken hearts, buried pain, childhood love that turned into something darker, and two souls trying to find peace in a bond that never truly died. What happens when love is not the problem, but the past is? Will she learn to trust the man she fears?
