Once His

In a world stitched tightly by family duty, Zara Maher stands at the edge of a choice that could shatter everything. When her best friend marries her eldest brother Alexandre, a harmless family joke about Zara ending up with her friend's brother, Damian Malik, stops feeling funny-and starts feeling like fate closing in.

Zara always believed her parents would never force her into anything.
But fate doesn't need force... only pressure.

And when a new presence enters her life-quiet, magnetic, and dangerously unexpected-Damian's lingering obsession twists into something far darker than affection.

This is a story where alliances turn into chains, old promises become weapons, and love sparks a rivalry that spirals into madness.
Because some paths are chosen.
Some are destined.
And some... are fought for in the shadows.
