She pushes him away. He never leaves. Bound by a connection they both refuse to name, they're about to discover that love, when left unspoken, can either save you, or consume you. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is love someone. And sometimes, it's the very thing that breaks you.
Her Rules, His Ruins
"She built walls to feel safe- He walked in like they never existed." ••••••• Zainab Ali-the disciplined, I-don't-give-a-damn-what-others-think type. Bold, sharp, and never meek, she knows exactly when to speak and leave people speechless. Cry loud if you want-she's not the overly innocent, soft-spoken girl who quietly endures whatever life throws her way. Shehriyar Haidar Yazdaani-too loud, irresistibly charming, and the kind of dimpled trouble you can't ignore. He rides his bike at full speed for the thrill, lives too free to be burdened by family pressure, and is confident enough to prove he's more than just a Gen Z with speed as a skill. When they collide, sparks fly, chaos reigns, and nothing-not even their hearts-is safe. ••••••• "She lived by limits, drawn in silence and scars. But he was chaos-beautiful, loud, and unforgiving."
