He was power.
She was poetry.
But in his world of blood and secrets... poetry never survives.
Zaydeen Sheikh - cold-hearted, dangerously magnetic, and heir to a criminal empire. His name alone sparks fear. But behind those merciless eyes lies a man who burns quietly... and destroys loudly.
Urmiya Lahiri - innocent, kind, and unaware that she's about to step into a world where love is just another weapon.
She wasn't meant to see him.
He wasn't meant to feel for her.
But fate plays dirty... and so does Zaydeen.
Because once she enters his fire,
there's no going back.

THIE IS BOOK 2 OF HIS BUTTERFLY. "His princess" Zeydan Abbas Khan. The name everyone knows. The man with cold hazel eyes, an empire at his fingertips, and a silence that speaks louder than words. Grumpy, expressionless, untouchable-he never lets the world see beyond the walls he's built. And then there's Izel. Izel Zayan Fareed Soft. Innocent. A quiet soul with eyes full of unspoken words. She doesn't need noise to be heard-her silence is enough to shake him. Two worlds-one made of fire and steel, the other of calm and warmth. What happens when they collide? ___________________________________________ Rehaan Zayan Fareed. Sharp mind. Grumpy at work. The kind of man who carries his father's fire in his veins-disciplined, untouchable in the boardroom. But at home? He melts. Especially when it comes to his Noor. Noor Abbas Khan. Talkative. Outspoken. The spark in every room she enters. Charming, fearless, unapologetically herself-the exact opposite of his controlled silence. What happens when her chaos meets his calm? When the girl who talks without stopping falls for the man who only speaks when it matters?Complete

And every time, her heart betrayed her; racing, stumbling, fluttering like a caged butterfly chasing a memory. Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing. Because it wasn't her place. Because she was never meant to be seen. Until she was. Until the day she stood before him, not as a stranger in the crowd, but as his bride. The wrong bride. He had seen her before. Once in passing, her eyes barely a flicker in his peripheral vision, dismissed for a prettier pair. The second time, he saw her through a vow sealed in blood and duty. And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.Complete
