When destiny plays its games, some bonds are too deep to be broken. Zara Ali-playful, bold, and mischievous. She grew up in the Shah haveli until the age of ten, surrounded by laughter, love, and one boy who always stood like a shield for her-Sikandar Shah.

Now, at twenty-two, Zara returns to Lahore, back into the heart of the Shah joint family-back into the same haveli that once felt like home... and back into the life of Sikandar Shah. Sikandar-powerful, silent, and feared. The man who built walls so high no one dared to climb them. But the moment Zara walks in, with her ---eyes and fearless laughter, his carefully controlled world begins to crack. He is the family's pride. She is the family's heartbeat. Together, they are forbidden fire. In a house full of traditions, secrets, and expectations, will Sikandar accept that Zara is more than just his childhood memory? Or will her sharaarat turn into the only gunah he ever wanted to commit? I will update these chapters only on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday...

She Was Chaos, Yet I Only Felt Calm Book One of the "In All the Ways We Stayed" Series --- 🌸 Premise: Kazama fell first. Quietly. Slowly. Completely. He didn't even know when it began-maybe when she refused to stop calling him Kazama-nii, maybe when she dragged him to the library in glitter sandals, or maybe when she made him a crown out of weeds and called it a loyalty hat. Himawari was the chaos he never planned for. Bold, impulsive, loud, and everywhere. She didn't wait for permission, she just arrived-in his room, in his plans, and eventually... in his heart. But for someone who felt everything, Kazama said very little. Until the moment came when he couldn't hold it in anymore. This isn't the story of falling in love.
