People often thought she was aloof and unapproachable, but something about her intrigued him.

The big question was whether Rayyan and Aisha could ever get along. Would Rayyan be able to express himself more thoughtfully and uncover the truth about Aisha? And would Aisha eventually warm up to him and possibly develop feelings for him? Only time would tellComplete
