Scarlet Vows

🌹 SHE: SAHIBA KHAN

Youngest daughter of an influential political family with hidden ties to the underground world.

Devout yet strong-willed, raised with both Islamic values and family loyalty.

Hates being treated like a bargaining chip, especially in the name of peace.

Still mourns her older sister's mysterious death-and blames one man for it.

🖤 HE: ZAYAN REHMAN

Eldest son of the feared REHMAN underworld syndicate.

Practicing Muslim, but his soul is soaked in blood and vengeance.

Loved once, was betrayed-and killed the woman he once planned to marry.

Marries SAHIBA not for love, but for power-and maybe revenge.

🌒 THE PLOT:

Their nikah is forced-a political move disguised in sacred vows.
Zoya despises Aariz.
She covers her head out of faith, but refuses to bow to him out of pride.

> "You think nikah makes me yours, Aariz? You don't even own your own soul."

He doesn't flinch.
He doesn't ask for her love.
He demands obedience-but he doesn't force it. He waits, watches, punishes-strategically.

But hatred turns dangerous when feelings creep in.

She sees his dedication to salah. His quiet grief at night.
He sees her fire, her strength, her refusal to break.
And slowly... they both begin to fall, painfully, reluctantly.

---

🕯️ FAITH & DARKNESS:

He prays with her.
But he bleeds for sins she doesn't know about.
She begins to soften... until she uncovers the one truth he never wanted her to find:

> Aariz was the one who ordered her sister's death.
Not as a mafia boss-but as a man betrayed.

---

🔥 CLIMAX:

She confronts him after Tahajjud, her hands trembling, holding a Quran and a knife.

> "You took a life Allah had given. Do you think your rakats will wash it clean?"

He doesn't defend himself.
He just whispers:

> "I didn't ask for your forgiveness, Zoya jaan. I only asked Allah's. But if you give it... I might finally feel human again."
